India To Build Special Data Window For Information On Cyclones: PM Modi

Speaking in Glasgow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the past few decades have proven that nobody remains untouched by effects of climate change.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will build a special data window for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to get timely information about cyclones, coral-reef monitoring, coast-line monitoring through satellite, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Glasgow on Tuesday.

Speaking at the launch event of the IRIS initiative at the 26th session of the Conference of Parties (COP26), PM Modi said: "India's space agency ISRO will build a special data window for SIDS. With this, SIDS will continue to get timely information about cyclones, coral-reef monitoring and coast-line monitoring through satellite."

"Guessing the threat of climate change on Small Island Developing States, India made special arrangements for cooperation with Pacific Islands and CARICOM countries. We trained their citizens in solar technologies, made continuous contributions for development," said PM Modi.

PM Modi reached Glasgow on Sunday to participate in the COP26 summit.
