The New Indian Express Sambalpur
|April 08, 2025
THE Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, under its Weather Information Network and Data System (WINDS) scheme, is set to sanction funds of ₹116 crore to the Odisha government for installation of over 7,000 automated weather stations (AWSs) and automated rain gauges (ARGs) across the state.
This is to strengthen the early-warning system and impact-based forecast that will help in effective disaster management in the state. The ministry has earmarked the budget of ₹116 crore for implementation of the project in the state over a period of five years.
While the state will install 434 AWSs at strategic locations to get real-time, accurate and continuous data on various meteorological parameters, over 6,624 ARGs will also be installed at the panchayat level with a purpose to make rainfall data available at micro-level.
