देश भर के किसानों को सेवा प्रदान करने वाली इस सेवा का डंका बजाया था मंत्रीजी ने कुछ साल पहले। आज वोही सेवा चुपचाप से बंद कर दी गई है। किसान और वैज्ञानिक दोनों इंतजार में हैं की सेवा फिर से शुरू हो और किसानों का कुछ फायदा हो। उनकी आय दोगुनी करने की बात तो आई गई हो गई है अब।

@rishpardikar The government must address why the existing network of DAMUs is being dismantled in favor of private agencies. Farmers need answers. #SaveDAMUs #StopPrivatization @PMOIndia @FinMinIndia @mygovindia

@DrFauziaKhanNCP @rishpardikar Well said, DAMU not only provides advisory services, it saves lakh of farmer lives from events of lightning. Severe lightning warnings are communicated by damu are found very useful to small, Marginal and tribal farmers. Which was not possible through ai, ml and private players.

२०१८ में IMD ने देश भर में १९९ जिला कृषि मौसम विज्ञान इकाइयाँ स्थापित कीं। DAMU के वैज्ञानिकों ने लाखों किसानों को बुवाई, कटाई, उर्वरक, कीटनाशक और सिंचाई पर मुफ्त, द्वि-साप्ताहिक सलाह प्रदान की। इन DAMU को मार्च २०२४ में बंद कर दिया गया है।

इन्हें बंद करके किसे फायदा हो रहा है?

The shutdown of district agro-meteorological units (DAMUs)—an issue reported by @rishpardikar , that I raised in Parliament and also followed up with the Hon’ble Minister of Earth Sciences - is a matter of utmost concern.

DAMUs provide crucial localised climate advisories to farmers, especially in this era of extreme, unpredictable weather due to climate change.

While reports hint at their revival, an official clarification is urgently needed to reassure the thousands of farmers, employees at the district units and scientists relying on this service.

An explainer for @the_hindu today about agrometeorological advisory services & how they function as a key #ClimateAdaptation measure. Also, why the Union govt shutdown the scheme & whether the push for privatisation can work (ans: no, because the prices are unaffordable)

[Rishika Pardikar @rishpardikar]

With inputs from @rajeevan61 & M N Thimmegowda at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore.

Last week, PTI reported that the IMD is planning to revive District Agro-Meteorology Units under the Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa scheme. What are agro-meteorological advisories? Why did the govt shut down district agro-met offices? @rishpardikar explains
