Meghdoot

Meghdoot, a joint initiative of India Meteorological Department (IMD), Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) and Indian Council OF Agricultural Research (ICAR) aims to deliver critical information to farmers through a simple and easy to use mobile application. The mobile

application was developed by the Digital Agriculture research theme at International Crops

Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad in collaboration with IITM,

Pune and IMD, Delhi. The app seamlessly aggregates contextualized district and crop wise

advisories issued by Agro Met Field Units (AMFU) every Tuesday and Friday with the forecast

and historic weather information to the fingertips of the farmers. The advisories are also issued

in vernacular wherever available.
