Subject: Media Workshop on “Communicating Weather & Climate Information”
You are very well aware that one of the primary mandates of National Meteorological Services worldwide is to provide reliable and accurate weather information and warnings to the public to ensure the safety of life and property. India Meteorological Department provides daily weather information and forecasts from it’s Headquarters at New Delhi and from other forecasting centres in all the States.
Electronic and print media is playing an important role not only in disseminating the weather forecasts and warnings to every nook and corner of the country but also in making these understood by the common man and also in providing us feedback. However, in view of advent of large number of TV channels and Daily News papers, it is felt necessary to escalate the interaction between IMD and mass media to mutually understand the requirements of each other.
IMD is therefore, organising one day media workshop on “communicating weather and climate information” exclusively for electronic and print media on 14 May, 2010 at India Islamic Cultural Centre, Lodi Road New Delhi. Hon’ble Minister for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences has kindly consented to grace the valedictory function as chief guest. The workshop will provide opportunity to the media people to interact with eminent scientists in the field of weather and climate forecasts.
In this regard, all the media groups operating from National Capital Region of Delhi are requested to kindly depute a suitable nominee (who is associated with production/ presentation of weather capsules etc.) to attend the workshop as a delegate and send the contact details latest by 10th May 2010 for making prior arrangements.
