Highlighting the pivotal role of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Dr. Singh underscored its significance as the national-level nodal office for issuing agro-advisory services.

February 28, 2022 is National Science Day in India.
At Amrita, we believe that science is more than a body of knowledge.
It’s a way of thinking.
It need not give the right answers every time.
But it needs to ask the right questions all the time.
Most importantly, it needs to ask if its solutions will sustain the future.
At Amrita, we are aware that science is felt by all.
All of life and all of its surroundings.
We are mindful that science knows no boundaries.
And today, we remember that within every lab - wherever it is
in the world - there’s something that’s being commonly created.
Our tomorrow.
Issued on the occasion of the National Science Day, 2022, celebrating an integrated approach in science and technology for a sustainable future.
