Number of long spell rain events. Continuous rainfall for ≥4 days over all India in
different seasons. The red line is linear trend line.
The number of long spell rainfall events shows decreasing trend in monsoon season in last 54 years. This suggests that planetary scale motions, may be southwest monsoon over the country is weakening.

Young Scientist Mentoring & Leadership Programme
The programmes aims at developing leadership in climate research in India
Mapping of young and bright climate scientists below 35 years
Annually 15 such scientists will be selected based on their credentials as evident from their academic qualification and research contribution
They will undergo a Mentoring and training programme guided by a group of internationally acclaimed climate scientists from India & abroad
5 of them will be selected to receive a grant of Rs 3 Cr for 3 years to undertake an independent research as PI.
The grant will also cover support for domestic and international travel

Concluding Remarks India has a strong climate change research
base in terms of number of quality researchers, data and infrastructure
The Country is witnessing emergence of a large number of research institutions (mostly extra-mural) in climate science areas
Climate Change Programme (CCP) DST has emerged as the largest source of extra-mural funding (nearly 60% of total) in climate change research in the country
CCP aims to build, strengthen and sustain S&T Capacity in the country in climate change research.
Over 600 scientists are contributing to CCP programmes today. We aim to cover nearly 2000 scientists in next 5-8 years
CCP has outlined a long term strategy to focus on Excellence, Expansion and Equity
