00:00is in the accuracy of weather forecast.
00:04So in 2014,
00:06under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
00:10a synergized ecosystem was developed.
00:14Our installations today are no longer confined only to the IMD centers.
00:19We have installations in the space,
00:21installations in the sea,
00:23installations on the land.
00:25And if you talk about numbers,
00:28then before 2014,
00:30the number of radio radars in the country was only 15.
00:35Today, it has doubled to 49.
00:40If you talk about automated weather stations,
00:44then in 2014, the number was 700.
00:47Today, it has doubled to 1,500.
00:52If you talk about balloon radio,
00:56which has a precision of up to 30 meters,
00:59then in 2014, the number was 43.
01:02Today, it has increased to 56.
01:05If you talk about the newcast facility,
01:08which forecasts the immediate weather for the next three hours,
01:12then in 2014, this facility was available
01:15in only 120 cities in the country.
01:18Today, it has increased tenfold to 1,200 cities.
01:22And in 2017, a new facility was started,
01:25extended forecast.
01:28That is, every Sunday,
01:30an accurate forecast for the next two weeks can be given,
01:33so that you can plan your calendar accordingly.
01:37If you talk about average rainfall,
01:39then before 2014,
01:41on a country-wide level,
01:43the average rainfall was reported.
01:46Today, it is reported region-wise.
01:50And if you talk about Doppler weather radars,
01:53then today, they have been installed in cities like Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi.
01:59And to make full use of all this,
02:04artificial intelligence has also been used,
02:07machine learning has also been used.
02:09And the degree to which the Prime Minister has given priority to this department,
02:14is proven by the fact that
02:16in the third term of the Modi government,
02:19in Modi government 3.0,
02:21in the first hundred days,
02:23the important decisions that have been taken,
02:25one of them was the launching of Mission Mausam.
02:31Mission Mausam aims to provide world-class facility
02:37less to none other in the world.
02:40Mission Mausam aims to create
02:44a weather-ready India,
02:46a climate-start India.
02:48Weather-ready India means
02:50India ready to face any weather change or challenge,
02:53foreseen or unforeseen.
02:55And climate-smart India means
02:57no longer India which is not taken seriously for climate concerns,
03:00but an India which lays down goals in climate concerns
03:05for others to follow.
03:08And in these 100 days,
03:11two more important decisions have been taken,
03:13which also supplement the efforts of this department.
03:17One of them is the allocation of Rs. 50,000 crores for the National Research Foundation,
03:22and the Viability Fund of Rs. 1000 crores for space startups.
03:28Today, the medium of information is not limited to radio and TV,
03:32we also have websites,
03:34we have our own SMS platform,
03:37and WhatsApp groups too.
03:39And for the dedicated sectors,
03:41different facilities,
03:42for example, the agriculture sector,
03:44defense sector,
03:46aviation sector,
03:48and as far as neighboring countries are concerned,
03:50not only is the weather forecast being done,
03:53flash floods are also being informed,
03:57avalanches too,
03:58cyclones too,
03:59glacial lake outbursts too.
04:02Prime Minister,
04:03you will be happy to know
04:05that there are some IMD centers in India
04:08which have achieved global fame.
04:11One of them is our India Meteorological Center in Srinagar,
04:15which is more than a hundred years old.
04:18And it has been given the title of Centennial Center
04:21by the World Meteorological Organization,
04:24which is present here among us.
04:30And that is why,
