products from Engineers, Architects, Archaeologists and the 
medical profession* The national survey organizations are 
far too heavily pre-occupied with mapping for departmental 
and development projects* They are, therefore, unable to 
meet this growing demand for non-topographic photogrammetrlc 
products* Alternative sources of photogrammetrlc production, 
preferably in smaller viable units, have now become 
essential to cope with such requirements* This development 
is indeed most fortunate for the growth of photogrammetrlc 
education* For only if the subject is Introduced on a wider 
basis, can additional production capacity be created« 
There is probably a move to collect information 
about existing syllabi! of photogrammetrlc education in 
developing countries by the ISP« This is possibly with the 
intention of proposing a standard set of syllabii for 
adoption by the member countries« A word of caution is 
necessary here-the ultimate goal could be to introduce 
a uniform set of syllabii, but the immediate or interluro 
stage must be carefully thought about first* The existing 
system of education, size and needs of each country, 
are among the important aspects to be considered* 
A possible solution emerges from the foregoing - 
discussions* Photogrammetry must be introduced as an 
integral part of Survey teaching in the Engineering 
College curriculum* Post-graduate courses with a 
heavy bias on photogrammetry, supported by the necessary » 
connected subjects, should also be introduced by the 
leading universities and institutes of technology. 
Research activities, particularly in non-topographic 
applications of photograrametry must be encouraged by the 
same universities for a healthy growth of the subject. 
Photogrammetrlc education in the professional field 
is already progressing satisfactorily, but needs to be 
more requirement oriented« Operators for plotting details 
and contours need only be trained for that specific 
function, since this job takes a lot of production time* 
They need not be trained in the intricacies of orientation 
and connected theoretical aspects* One supervisor could
