I had raised my concerns over the governments decision to shut 199 District Agromet Units on the 6th of August and finally, as of today, the government has decided to rescind what would have a severely misinformed decision. I had spoken to the Hon’ble Minister of Earth Sciences, Shri Jitendra Singhji on why shutting DAMUs would be disastrous not just for farmers but also the personnel who operate them, leaving them unemployed. These workers provide crucial and timely data needed by farmers in districts and blocks. Their services benefit the nation’s economy, workers, infrastructure and general population. I sincerely hope that these operators continue working towards their noble cause. I also extend my congratulations to Ms. Rishika Pardikar, an environmental journalist, for her tireless activism in breaking the news first.
