In the first three days, participants were taught about processing satellite images. Downloading satellite images, doing radiometric and atmospheric correction and preparing composite images were the key highlights. In the second session of the training, imagery analysis was done from the composite imagery developed at the first session. In this part of the training, participants were taught to develop various indices from the satellite images. Vegetation Index, Water Index, Building Index were some key indices developed. Similarly, land use and land cover classification was the final part instructed in the training. This classification was done in two methods of supervised and unsupervised classifications along with validation techniques.

On the last day of the training all the activities were revised with some project works. Then a certificate of participation was distributed to each participant.
