Government launches Gram panchayat-level weather forecasting to make villages 'climate resilient'

NEW DELHI: A development that is expected to help farmers better plan their sowing and harvesting schedule and prepare for climate-related risks, the central government on Thursday launched the “gram panchayat level weather forecasting” initiative that will enable residents of the over 2.5 lakh gram panchayats to have access to localised weather information with a five-day weather forecast and hourly updates.

        A localized weather forecasting system for gram panchayats is a game-changer! By empowering farmers with real-time weather data, it boosts climate resilience, reduces crop loss, and helps them make informed decisions for planting and harvesting. This is true progress.
