New Delhi,Union Minister of State (MoS) Science and
Technology (Independent Charge),Earth Sciences (Independent Charge), MoS in
Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Department of Personnel and Training,Atomic
Energy, Space and Earth Sciences, Dr. Jitendra Singh has said there has been
significant increase in the monsoon during the last one week beginning from
13th July and the seven days between last Sunday and this Sunday have recorded
11% increase in the monsoon country-wide.
Dr Jitendra Singh, today, visited Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) at
"Mausam" Bhavan, Lodi Road,here to have a personal assessment of the
monsoon data recorded over the last six weeks. After scientific analysis of the
data,he observed that there was a note of optimism for the entire nation because
while during the month of June and first two weeks of July, the monsoon was
deficient by 43%, in the week beginning July 13, 2014, the deficiency was only
32%, thus, recording an improvement of 11% in the monsoon level.
After interacting with scientists and weather experts at the Indian
Meteorological Department, Dr Jitendra Singh shared another conclusion that the
forecast for next two weeks is also good, particularly in Central India and
coastal regions of South India . There is, therefore, no reason to be
unnecessarily alarmist on the issue of monsoon, he added. From 1st August
onwards , he said, the meteorological predictions indicate active rainfall in
the country.
Dr Jitendra Singh also held a video conference meeting with the Weather Forecast
Divisions in Chennai, Pune, Kolkatta and Guwahati, and obtained observations
from these centres, which he correlated with the observations at the main
Centre in Delhi.
Later, Dr Jitendra Singh also paid a visit to Satellite Monitoring Division
(SMD) and said it is a matter of pride for this Department that it could
actually forecast inclement and adverse weather in Uttarakhand from 16th to
20th July, 2014, following which the organizers of the ongoing Badrinath Yatra
took proper precautions and succeeded in avoiding any unfortunate accidents as
was witnessed during last year.
Indeed, in the days to come, Dr Jitendra Singh said that satellite monitoring
will not only be able to pick up the areas rocked by earthquake, but also
specific area damaged or affected. With all these new innovations, the Indian
Meteorological system today is of world-class standard and, therefore, several
other countries are also looking forward to share our inputs.
During his visit to Indian Meteorological Department, Dr.Jitendra Singh was
accompanied by Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Dr. Shailesh Nayak and
other senior officers and scientists of Indian Meteorological Department.
