00:03IMD's 150-year journey has been marked by significant advancements in meteorological
00:08science and technology, beginning with cyclone warnings and monsoon forecast during the British
00:13era, and has since evolved into a modern organization using advanced technology to provide vital
00:18services in weather forecasting, climate research and disaster management.

01:01Ladies and gentlemen, as a token of our gratitude and admiration for his unwavering dedication
01:04to the nation's progress, may I request the respected secretary sir to kindly present
01:08a memento to the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi ji.

01:40Saulo who has joined us for this momentous occasion.
01:46Thank you very much, Dr. Ravi Chandran for doing the honors.
01:50And with that, ladies and gentlemen, as we begin, I would like to begin with a Sanskrit
01:54shlok which says, yatha pinde tatha brahmande.
01:58Yatha pinde tatha brahmande translates to, as is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm.
02:04This profound concept from Indian philosophy reminds us of the intricate relationship between
02:10the natural world and human existence.
02:13The Indian Meteorological Department has been instrumental in decoding this relationship,
02:18helping us understand and prepare for the ever-changing dynamics of nature.
