Radio observations of large Supernova Remnants (SNRs) in the Galaxy are plagued with the problems of confusion and limitations of synthesis telescopes in imaging the emission at large angular scales. Since most SNRs are brighter at low radio frequencies, and the contamination due to thermal emission is reduced, deep and high resolution imaging of Galactic SNRs at meterwave lengths is most useful in their detection and classification. Relatively high resolution and sensitivity over a large range of angular scales provided by the GMRT at meterwave lengths makes it an ideal instrument for detailed multi-frequency imaging of Galactic SNRs.
