It is a matter of great satisfaction to note the continued advancement of the Bihar Mausam Sewa Kendra (BMSK) in delivering accurate, timely, and location-specific weather information to the people of Bihar. In a state frequently affected by floods, lightning, heatwaves, and other extreme weather events, such initiatives play a vital role in safeguarding lives, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure.What further strengthens this initiative is its collaboration with leading national and international institutions, including SAC-ISRO, IISc Bengaluru, and development partners such as UNDP. These partnerships bring together cutting-edge scientific expertise, advanced technologies, and global best practices, significantly enhancing the quality and reliability of weather forecasts and impact-based advisories in the state.BMSK reflects a progressive convergence of science, technology, and governance, ensuring that early warnings and advisories reach even the most vulnerable communities at the last mile. By enabling informed decision-making for farmers, administrators, and disaster management authorities, it contributes meaningfully to building a resilient and climate-aware Bihar.I commend the dedicated efforts of all stakeholders involved in conceptualizing and implementing this initiative. I am confident that BMSK will continue to evolve as a cornerstone of weather-based decision support and disaster risk reduction in Bihar.I also urge the people of Bihar—particularly farmers, local communities, and stakeholders—to actively utilize the services and advisories provided by BMSK, and integrate this valuable information into their daily planning and decision-making.I look forward to the continued strengthening of BMSK’s services in supporting effective governance and public safety across the state.
