Indian Satellite Research Organisation (ISRO) is currently working on developing a Radar Imaging Satellite, an all weather capability satellite, by 2007, its Chairman G Madhavan Nair said today. Inaugurating the telemedicine system of the Indian Air Force (IAF) at the Command Hospital here, he said the new satellite was aimed at overcoming the difficulties faced in getting clear satellite imageries of the earth in cloudy weather conditions. The system would largely benefit the farming community.

President Rosemary Philp says issues discussed at the conference will set the association's policies for the year. "One of the major issues is the teacher aide hours for prep, especially in the small one teacher schools," she said.
