NATMO being one of the premiere mapping Institutes of the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, has contributed significantly in producing District Planning Maps, Urban mapping to provide utility-based services, School Atlases, Thematic Maps, Tourist Guides and State Atlases, Braille Atlas and other thematic Atlases. These maps/guides and atlases played pivotal role in implementation of various developmental schemes in the country over last few decades.
Of late, role of geospatial data acquisition, enhancement of resolution and accuracy and developing various applications have significantly improved. New hardware/software have been developed in processing the geo-spatial data, which is important for preparation of all kinds of maps and atlases. In order to absorb the technological advancement and pace of development of various applications, it is felt necessary to restructure the working pattern of NATMO. To address all these issues, the following Office Order is issued:-
