Regional Meteorological Centre will scientifically advance vision of Viksit Bharat through Uttar Pradesh: CM Yogi

Lucknow, June 8 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said, "The results of the work carried out over the past 12 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the field of weather forecasting and research are clearly visible today. The establishment of the Regional Meteorological Centre in Lucknow will provide special benefits to Uttar Pradesh. UP is the most populous state in the country. Despite having only 11 percent of the country's cultivable land, Uttar Pradesh contributes 21 percent of India's food grain production."
He continued by saying, "if timely information regarding weather, rainfall, excessive rainfall, drought, or hailstorms is not available, justice cannot be done to farmers. The establishment of the regional centre is an important step toward obtaining more accurate weather information."
On Monday, the Chief Minister inaugurated the Regional Meteorological Centre by pressing the launch button along with union Minister of State Dr Jitendra Singh.
