IIRS Outreach Program focuses on strengthening education and user segments using online learning platforms in space technology and its applications. The initial focus of IIRS was to use EDUSAT/INSAT 4CR satellites for distance education, but the scope was extended to use the Internet to provide access to multiple institutions/universities/individuals.

Mr. Shubham Saxena of Civil Engineering Department told that Geospatial Modeling is the first course to be started as a nodal center in Anand Engineering College. The course will be conducted in the format of interactive sessions in the state-of-the-art Audio Visual room.

IIRS Outreach Program is being conducted through two major modes of Live and Interactive Classroom Sessions (also known as EDUSAT) and E-learning based online courses. The live and interactive mode of distance education is through internet and A-view software platform developed by Amrita E-learning Lab in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resource Development. IIRS has set up a state-of-the-art studio facility and control room to broadcast live and interactive classroom sessions and practical demonstrations through its Distance Education Centre.
