Mission Mausam

Recognizing the critical need for advanced weather forecasting, the Union Cabinet under Modi Government 3.0 approved Mission Mausam on September 11, 2024. This initiative by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), with a budget of ₹2,000 crores over two years, aims to position India as a global leader in weather and climate sciences. Why Mission Mausam? India’s agrarian economy, frequent extreme weather events, and rural development challenges highlight the need for accurate weather and climate services. Erratic rainfall affects crop yields, extreme weather events like cyclones and floods cause economic losses, and rural areas rely on weather data for water and resource management. Objectives Mission Mausam focuses on: Enhanced Forecasting: Short-term, medium-term, extended-range, and seasonal predictions. High-Resolution Models: Accurate monsoon and climate behavior predictions. Strengthened Observational Infrastructure: Advanced radars, satellites, and automated weather stations. Actionable Advisories: Sector-specific guidance for agriculture, energy, health, and disaster management. Research and Collaboration: Partnerships with global institutions to enhance expertise. Technology and Implementation Led by institutions like the IMD, NCMRWF, and IITM, and supported by INCOIS and NIOT, the mission uses cutting-edge technologies, including supercomputing systems and high-resolution models. These tools provide forecasts ranging from hourly updates to seasonal predictions, ensuring timely information for critical sectors. Impact Mission Mausam aims to make India "Weather Ready" and "Climate Smart," protecting lives, boosting agriculture, and strengthening disaster preparedness. By fostering innovation and collaboration, it aspires to establish India as a leader in weather and climate sciences, paving the way for sustainable development.
