The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved\u00a0\u2018Mission Mausam’ today with an outlay of Rs.2,000 crore over two years.<\/p>\n
Mission\u00a0Mausam, to be chiefly implemented by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, is envisaged to\u00a0be a multi-faceted and transformative initiative to tremendously boost India’s weather\u00a0and climate-related science, research, and services. It will help to better equip\u00a0stakeholders, including citizens and last-mile users, in tackling extreme weather events\u00a0and the impacts of climate change. The ambitious program will help broaden capacity\u00a0and resilience across communities, sectors, and ecosystems in the long run.<\/p>\n
As part of the Mission Mausam, India will exponentially expound research and\u00a0development, and capacity in atmospheric sciences, especially weather surveillance,\u00a0modelling, forecasting, and management. By integrating advanced observation systems,\u00a0high-performance computing, and cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence\u00a0and machine learning, Mission Mausam will set a new benchmark for predicting weather\u00a0with high precision.<\/p>\n
The mission’s focus will include improving observations and understanding for\u00a0providing highly accurate and timely weather and climate information across temporal\u00a0and spatial scales, including monsoon forecasts, alerts for air quality, extreme weather\u00a0events and cyclones, weather interventions for managing fog, hail, and rain, etc.,\u00a0capacity building and generating awareness. Critical elements of Mission Mausam will\u00a0include the deployment of next-generation radars and satellite systems with advanced\u00a0sensors and high-performance supercomputers, the development of improved Earth\u00a0system models and a GIS-based automated Decision Support System for real-time data\u00a0dissemination.<\/p>\n
Mission Mausam will directly benefit numerous sectors, such as agriculture, disaster\u00a0management, defence, environment, aviation, water resources, power, tourism,\u00a0shipping, transport, energy, and health. It would also enhance data-driven decision\u00a0\u00a0making in areas such as urban planning, road and rail transport, offshore operations,\u00a0and environmental monitoring.<\/p>\n
Three institutes of the Ministry of Earth Sciences: the India Meteorological Department,\u00a0the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, and the National Centre for Medium-Range\u00a0Weather Forecasting will primarily implement Mission Mausam. These institutions will\u00a0be supported by other MoES institutions (Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services, National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research, and National Institute of Ocean\u00a0Technology), along with collaborating national and international Institutes, Academia\u00a0and Industries, furthering India’s leadership in weather and climate sciences and\u00a0services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
