The NCCR, an attached office of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, monitors shoreline changes along the Indian coast.
NCCR is envisaged to develop and improve the country’s capabilities in addressing the challenging problems prevailing in the coastal zone, which have societal, economical and environmental implications.
These activities of NCCR would be an integral part of the Ministry’s mission to offer scientific and technical support to coastal communities and stakeholders for integrated and sustainable use of resources towards the socio-economic benefit of the society.
