Hon’ble MoS (I/C), Ministry of Earth Sciences, Dr Jitendra Singh responded in the Lok Sabha to a Written Question on IMPACT AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE DEEP OCEAN MISSION.

Stated that:

Launched in 2021, the Deep Ocean Mission (DOM) is advancing India’s Blue Economy through six key verticals, including deep-sea technologies, ocean climate services, biodiversity exploration, deep-ocean surveys, ocean energy, and marine biology.

MATSYA-6000, India’s flagship human submersible, has completed its design and wet harbour trials, while the indigenous deep-sea mining system successfully demonstrated the collection of over 100 kg of polymetallic nodules from a depth of 1,173 metres.

Under the Mission, India has strengthened ocean observations, discovered new hydrothermal vent fields and deep-sea species, established a Marine Microbial Repository, and initiated the indigenous construction of a new all-weather ocean research vessel, significantly enhancing the country’s deep-ocean research and exploration capabilities.

Dr Jitendra Singh responded in the Lok Sabha to an Unstarred Question on ADVANCING MONSOON SCIENCE, CLIMATE RESEARCH AND WEATHER FORECASTING.

Stated that:

Mission Mausam is strengthening India's weather forecasting capabilities through advanced climate models, next-generation Doppler Weather Radars, High-Performance Computing (HPC), AI/ML-enabled forecasting, satellite observations, and an expanded meteorological observation network.

IMD has developed citizen-centric weather services, including the Panchayat Mausam Seva Portal, enabling Panchayat-level weather forecasts and agrometeorological advisories through digital platforms and WhatsApp for last-mile dissemination.

The Ministry is advancing monsoon science through collaborations with national and international research institutions, while NCMRWF has developed high-resolution climate reanalysis datasets and IITM is enhancing the Monsoon Mission forecast system to improve seasonal monsoon and extreme weather prediction.
