Need for a weather research centre

Although Guwahati is fast improving towards development and there are many instances of the government at the state and the centre providing the best developing measures to the city, but still a few other things are also there that too needs to be fulfilled for the city and people to be self-dependant in certain situations. A nameable issue faced by not only the people of the Guwahati city, but by everybody else living in the northeast region is that there is no weather research centre in this part of the country. At a time when, the NE region of the country is one of the most highly and frequently disturbed and harmed place by the nature and its calamities, a prior information on the weather and its forecasts is a must for the region for which it still needs to be dependent on the research centres based in other parts of the country.

The only thing that the region is depending on for so long is the Guwahati-based Borjhar Regional Meteorology Centre (RMC) which is only a data collecting centre. The need for a weather research centre has been deeply felt by the people of the North-East as it would have encouraged in integrated research programme for studying the impact of climatic changes in the NE region.

Eminent environmental scientists Prof Surya Kanta Sarma and Prof Dulal Chandra Goswami have also expressed the same need and demanded for weather stations at the major urban centres of the NE region. As stated by Prof Surya Kanta Sarma, the NE region plays a major role in climatic changes in this region and it was even about 15 years back when he had first demanded for a research centre.

Prof Sarma also added, “We need several weather parameters measuring centres in different parts of Greater Guwahati and its neighbourhood, besides other major urban centres of the NE region as these places are subjected to rapid urbanisation and population growth.”
