Govt plans to revive district agro-met units
The New Indian Express Mangaluru
|January 13, 2025
A year after closing down 199 district agro-met units (DAMU), the Central government is now planning to revive them with a solid framework on the 150th anniversary of the India Meteorological Department.
"Earlier, the DAMU was operating on an ad hoc manner in 199 districts, now we have evolved a permanent solution for more districts," said M Ravichandran, Secretary of Ministry of Earth Sciences, told this newspaper.
As a part of the pilot project of the Ministry of Earth Sciences and Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, DAMU analyses how weather conditions will affect crops and passes on the information to millions farmers. In collaboration with Krishi Vigyan Kendra, DAMU's scientists sent advisories to farmers via WhatsApp group, text messages in local languages, local newspapers and community leaders.
