40 lakh farmers will get weather alert thrice everyday, rain gauge machine will be installed in all panchayats

Ranchi: In Jharkhand, the Agriculture Department has started sending weather alerts to the farmers of the state and for this, a rain gauge machine will be installed in every panchayat of the state. The cost of installing a range machine is Rs 2.5 lakh.

For this, a provision of Rs 48 crore has been made by the Agriculture Department. At present the data of 35 lakh farmers is with the Agriculture Department, but the department is preparing to send the data to more than 40 lakh farmers.

The Meteorological Department and the Agriculture Department are together making preparations to send weather alerts to the Common Service Center. Weather service will be provided to a total of 25,000 centres. 

Weather reports will be issued thrice every day and related reports will also be displayed at the centre. The Meteorological Department will give weather alerts through Damini and Sachet apps. While weather alerts will be received from the Sachet app, information about thunderstorms will be available from the Damini app.

In this regard, Abhishek Anand, in-charge of the Meteorological Department, Ranchi Center said that for the first time, such an effort is being made. We are preparing to give farming-friendly advisory to the farmers in their own language.

For this, the Farmers Call Center of the Agriculture Department will be used. Efforts are being made to give information to the farmers through voice messages in their language. The Meteorological Department is trying to make weather information accessible to as many people as possible.
