In Survey Training Institute» Hyderabad we conduct 
three basic courses in surveying and mapping at three levels 
for new entrants to the Survey of India* The following 
theortical and practical instructions in the simpler methods 
of photogrammetry using radial line principles are imparted 
to the various courses:

A large proportion of surveys in comparatively flat 
terrain in India is still carried out by simpler methods of 
photogrammetry* 
HOW TO GET TEACHERS 
In India over the last twenty four years we have 
built up adequate number of photogrammetric teachers partly 
through the visit of international experts upto 1972 and 
partly through sending officers abroad for completing 
Advanced P-2 level course of the ITC.

An interesting question which was discussed in the 
ITC International Symposium 1976: Surveys for Development 
and the general consensus is reproduced below* 
Question 
Should training be given in the developing countries 
themselves and does this apply to all levels of training? 
Answer 
The general consensus of opinion was that the basic 
training of operators should be given in the country itself 
and preferably within the mapping organisation* Opinions 
differed, however, as to whether this training should be 
combined with actual production or not* As far as special 
ised training is concerned, it was agreed that this could be 
given abroad, but then short courses were preferred*
