MoES–AcSIR MoU for Advancing Research in Earth Sciences
The Ministry of Earth Sciences (@moesgoi) and the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (@AcSIR_India) signed an MoU to strengthen scientific collaboration and doctoral research. The MoU was signed by Dr. Praveen Kumar D., Scientist-G and Mission Director, Mission Mausam, on behalf of MoES, and Prof. Manoj Kumar Dhar, Director, AcSIR. It was formally declared during a meeting chaired by Dr. Srinivasa Kumar Tummala (@tummalasrini), Secretary, MoES, in the presence of senior officials from both organisations.
All ten MoES institutes are now recognised as AcSIR Associated Research Institutes (AcSIR-ARIs) and are participating in AcSIR’s latest Call for PhD Enrolment. The collaboration will enable PhD scholars to undertake research at MoES institutes, promote interdisciplinary scientific inquiry by utilizing shared resources of world class standards.
It is a significant step towards addressing emerging challenges in Earth Sciences and advancing India's scientific progress.

#WATCH | Pune, Maharashtra: Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) Pune Director Dr A. Suryachandra Rao says, "This assembly is actually trying to create awareness and also trying to find out ways in which science can directly impact society. Therefore, the theme of the APARC General Assembly itself is science and society."
On El Niño, he adds, "...When it reaches very warm temperatures, it actually has an impact on the Indian monsoon—it actually reduces the rainfall over India during the June to September period. When it comes to IITM's role in predicting this El Niño or predicting the monsoon, it is very clear that almost in April itself, we said very clearly that there was going to be an El Niño peaking in the tropical Pacific and also that monsoon rainfall was going to be below normal. Whatever predictions we have given, both quantitatively and qualitatively, they came true."
