(Data Photo) 2 minutes went through Last Updated: Aug 03 2024|1:04 PM IST.The Congress on Sunday declared that 199 area agro-meteoreological systems, which gave planters at the block-level free-of-cost weather advisory companies, were turned off as the NITI Aayog "misstated" their task to justify the decision.Our lawmakers overall secretary in-charge interactions Jairam Ramesh discussed a media record on X which claimed that the farm weather condition advising workplaces were closed in March this year as the NITI Aayog "misrepresented" their duty as well as found privatisation." The India Meteorological Department shut down 199 area agro-meteoreological systems (DAMUs). These agromet units delivered all planters at the block-level free-of-cost weather advising solutions, as well as important relevant information related to sowing, use of fertilisers, collecting and stashing plants," he said.Professionals propose that while the budget plan expense for these devices each year was actually around Rs 45 crore, the benefit was actually around Rs 15,000 crore, Ramesh indicated.The shutdown was actually opposed through Union Preacher Nitin Gadkari, as well as through several essential stakeholders, consisting of the Gujarat-based Organization of Agrometeorologists, he declared." RTI records now uncover that it was the NITI Aayog that advised that area agromet solutions be privatised and also monetised. As a matter of fact, the Aayog misstated their role to justify this choice, asserting that the agromet systems be actually turned off due to the fact that information was now automated," he said." This is false - agromet team tailor-maked main foresights for local usage as well as modified records for various other advisories, like those related to the use of fertilizers," Ramesh said in his article on X." The Aayog's deception and its absence of courage in resisting the Authorities when faced with the Government's poor decision-making is actually illuminative of its own job over the last a decade as a plain drumbeater as well as cheerleader for the non-biological PM," Ramesh claimed, hammering the public policy think-tank.Initial Released: Aug 03 2024|1:01 PM IST.
