Only Earth System Science Organisation-India
Meteorological Department (ESSO-IMD) is mandated for generating all India
Whether and Climate related warning and alert messages through operational
Metrological services to general public and various other sector specific
designated agencies in particular disaster management authority at national cum
state and district level following established standard operating procedures.

Although no separate allocation for monsoon research per se was
provided, based on the requirement of research community in the country, funds
are made available for carrying out research through few sponsored research
programme by the Department of Science and Technology. After the establishment
of Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) in 2006 structured research and
development initiative involving MoES institution and research group have been
lunched. Details of major programs of the MoES during the XII plan include.

The NCMRWF is putting efforts to improve the adopted unified model in
collaboration with UK for medium range scale monsoon rainfall forecasts
including extreme weather phenomena. One of the Implementation Agreements -
Dynamical Seasonal Prediction of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (Establishment
of Monsoon desk) was signed during the visit of President Obama in November
2010 under which Indian and US scientists are working jointly. The Government
of India has committed to provide $480,000 over a period of five years (Rs.2.4
crores approximately) for activities associated with establishment and
maintenance of the “Monsoon Desk”.
This was stated by Union
Minister of State for Science and Technology and Ministry of Earth Sciences Dr.
Jitendra Singh in a written
reply in Lok Sabha today.
