my activities.

First visited Almora on 30–31 Jan 2026 for site selection in pine and oak dominated forest. Returned again on 14–22 Feb 2026 to install a CCFC PhenoCam with meteorological sensors — PAR, wind, soil moisture, relative humidity, temperature, precipitation, etc.

During our visit, we also observed early Rhododendron flowering that typically expected in April–May; and included the tree in our camera's field of view.

We participated in the NRSC Offline EO Data Processing Challenge from 03 June 2025 to 06 July 2025. Our aim was to develop an automated cloud and shadow masking model for Resourcesat-2/2A LISS-IV satellite images using open-source tools.

We were awarded Second Winner in the competition and received certificates along with a scale model of LVM3 as a memento.
