Work experience
I have more than 25 years of experience in the Indian Meteorological Services dealing with research and technical matters. I have published more than 40 papers in the field of meteorology and atmospheric sciences, which have been published in national and international journals. I attented CBS meetings in 1992 and 1994. I also attented the WMO Congress meeting in 1995 and EC meetings in 1996 and 1997. I am well versed with the international meteorological programmes including the World Climate Programme (WCP) and World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). I am also in charge of overall coordination of the education and training functions in the country, I had worked as head of the training activities in IMD. My duties included coordination with national/international bodies in matters relating to training. I had also assisted the development of HRD in universities and research institutions through my association in their advisory bodies._x000D_
