Awareness Programme
Farmers Awareness Programme (FAP)
Farmers’ Awarness Programme (FAP) is one day duration programme organised by India Meteorological Department (IMD) and Agromet Field Unit (AMFU) to expose the farmer community about weather and climate issues that affect agriculture production on their farms. Officers of GKMS Unit highlighted the aims and objectives of GKMS and significance of real time weather-based Agromet Advisory for successful farming and judicious use of available
resources. During the FAPs, mobile numbers of farmers were collected and registered in mkisan portal. Meghdoot is a joint initiative of the IMD and Indian Council for Agriculture Research (ICAR) to bring high resolution weather forecast based Agromet Advisories to farmers in vernacular. AMFU issue contextualized district and crop wise advisories every Tuesday and Friday. The Meghdoot App allows farmers and interested users to access these advisories in a user friendly manner. The advisories are also issued in vernacular wherever available. Apart from the crop advisory, the app also makes available observed weather and weather forecast. Officers also explained Meghdoot application in the FAP.
