The India Meteorological Team closed down 199 district agro-meteoreological units (DAMUs).

RTI documents currently disclose that it was actually the NITI Aayog that advised that district agromet services be privatised and monetised. In fact, the Aayog misstated their function to validate this choice, suggesting that the agromet units be actually shut down since data was right now automated," he stated." This is not true - agromet team personalized central forecasts for neighborhood use and also customized records for other advisories, such as those related to the use of fertilizers," Ramesh mentioned in his post on X." The Aayog's deceptiveness and also its own shortage of courage in standing up to the Authorities when confronted with the Government's poor decision-making is actually illuminative of its own job over the final a decade as a plain drumbeater as well as supporter for the non-biological PM," Ramesh mentioned, pounding everyone policy think-tank.Initial Released: Aug 03 2024|1:01 PM IST.
