The weather is an important part of our lives and one that we

cannot controls. Instead the weather often controls how and
where we live, what we do, what we wear and what we eat but
as a thematic subject are yet to accomplish proper implications
of weather as a system amongst school students.

Women & Child Welfare Society is appointed as a

Technical Resource Centre (TRC) by Department of Science
& Technology, Govt. of India, Ministry of Science & Technology,
New Delhi to implement “Participation of Youth in Real Time/
field Observation for Benefit to Education” (PROBE) Programme
in Jajpur and Kendrapada district of Odisha. It involves
installation of Weather Laboratories within the premises of
identified schools in which the students are encouraged to take
and record daily weather data/ observations. In this multi-
institutional project a two-way relationship is envisaged between
school Students, Teachers and Professors in centres of Higher
Learning.

Both aspects such as observation and learning about

weather and climate are emphasized in this project. Observation
protocols are devised and the data collected by schools are sent
to Technical Resource Centre (Women & Child Welfare Society)
subsequently to DST as well as to Indian Metrological
Department (IMD) for quality consistency. As per the grant,
Women & Child Welfare Society has extended this programme
to 15 selected schools like:- 1) M. V. Vidyayana: Badachana,
2) Jaraka High School: Jaraka,3) Khetrapal High School:
Kolathala, 4) N.C. High School: Jajpur Road, 5)Chitalo High

The weather data base created by school children

will be utilized DST & IMD as well as PROBE data will also be
helpful for research in universities on the topics aiming on water
management, climate change, disaster mitigation, boi-diversity
as well as mesco-scale modeling studies to supplement our
efforts in achieving better local forecast. Through participation in
PROBE young minds of school students are exposed to
scientific intricacies of weather. They are motivated to pursue
science as a career and develop better understanding to take
safety measures from weather related hazards and also develop
acumen to forecast weather for local use.
