By the end
What you'll build
- Interpret true-colour and false-colour Sentinel-2 scenes of your own district in Copernicus Browser, using professional interpretation elements
- Compute, threshold and classify NDVI from satellite band arrays in Python, and convert pixel counts into hectare estimates
- Explain how PMFBY's YES-TECH framework uses satellite NDVI time series alongside crop-cutting experiments for paddy and wheat yield estimation
- Navigate India's EO ecosystem — Resourcesat, Cartosat, EOS-04, NISAR, INSAT — and source free data from Bhoonidhi, Bhuvan and Copernicus
- Build a three-project geospatial portfolio and a zero-cost credential stack (free IIRS-ISRO certificates) targeted at the roles Indian employers actually hire for
