On the occasion of National Science Day 2022, the government has launched an International Monsoons Project Office.
The IMPO was set up to highlight the importance of monsoons for the economy of the nation.
It will work under the leadership of the World Climate Research Programme and the World Weather Research Programme.
IMPO would identify and foster as well as include connections and activities which will be related to international monsoon research.
Initially, for five years, the International Monsoons Project Office (IMPO) will be based at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) in Pune.
