ONSET OF MONSOON IN 2013

MOST OF THE CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR EARLY ONSET OF MONSOON IN VID AND PARTICULARLY AT NAGPUR.
THE MULTI-MODEL ENSEMBLE RAINFALL ANOMALY CHART SHOWS ABOUT +4 TO +6 (mm/day) FOR THE WEEK 10th JUNE TO 16th JUNE 2013
FOR THE CENTRAL INDIA WHICH COVERS MOST PART OF THE VID. EVER SINCE THE ONSET OVER A& N ISLANDS AND KERALA THE MONSOON CURRENT IS MAINTAINING GOOD SPEED OF ADVANCEMENT, PARTICULARLY THE ARABIAN SEA BRANCH.
THE IOD AND ENSO ARE CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED NOT ONLY FOR ONSET OF MONSOON BUT ALSO FOR IT’S SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION.
THE NCEP-CFS (Climate Forecast system or Coupled Forecast system v2) INDICATES A LITTLE LESS THAN NORMAL (VALUE WISE) RAIN FALL TILL AUGUST 2013 AND THEN NORMAL RAINFALL (NEAR THE CLIMATOLOGICAL MEAN VALUES) TILL OCTOBER 2013.
HOWEVER FOR NAGPUR, 10th TO 12th JUNE 2013 WE WILL SEE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH FEW THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON 10th.
IF WE ARE IN A HURRY TO DECLARE ONSET OF MONSOON OVER NAGPUR, IT CAN BE DONE ON 12th/13th JUNE AND MOST PARTS OF VID WILL GET WIDESPREAD RAINS DURING THIS PERIOD.

Seventh Pay Commission


Shri.Ajay Maken, Union Minister has recently addressed a letter to Prime Minister for early setting up of Seventh Pay Commission.
The following is the full Text of Letter dated 14th March, 2013 to Prime Minister by Shri Ajay Maken, Union Minister regarding request to early setting up of Seventh Pay Commission.:--->
It is with a sense of pride that I seek to underline that about 3,2 million Central Government Employee and an equal number of pensioners inducting service personnel, hold you in high esteem and think of you as one amongst them. They look up to you as a leader who would not only empathize with their concerns but ensure deliverance as well. It was you who had constituted the Sixth Central Pay Commission (CPC) in 2005 which should have been set up in 2003 by the NDA Government.
2) Central Government Employee who are inducted in Government through a process of rigorous screening and testing as also stringent evaluation of a job performance are supposed to be the brightest. With globalisation and multi-national corporation coming into the country, we have at hand a two fold challenge:
(a) do have a personnel pool with high acumen to deal with these MNCs,
(b) simultaneously a dress the challenge of high attrition on which in itself is a result of MNCs having come in. In order to attract as also retain the brightest minds in Government employment it is but necessary that Central Pay Commission are set up regularly to look into and evaluate their pay structures and submit recommendations.
3) Ever since the setting up of the second Central Pay Commission all pay commissions have been set up in the 3rd year of every decade baring the one time when the NDA Government did not do so in the year 2003. The pay commissions are then required to submit their recommendations/reports in three years time. However, you had set up the sixth pay commission in 2005 and submitted its report in an year and half, much to the relief and succour of Government employees. We are again in the third year of the on-going decade and Central Government Employees are justifiably looking forward to the Seventh Pay Commission that would look into their needs. The present wage structure of the Central Govt. Employees has been made on the basis of the Sixth Central Pay Commission’s recommendations, which were implemented with effect from 11.2006 in the case of Pay and in the case of allowances with effect from 1.9.2008. The erosion of real wages owing to the degree of inflation in the economy is hurting these employees very badly. The retail prices of those commodities, which go into the making of minimum wage, have risen by about 160% between 1.1.2006 to 1.1.2011, in comparison to D.A. compensation, which on that date had been just 51%. It is also an acknowledged fact that the 6th CPC had computed the minimum wage by suppressing the retailprice of these commodities in the market on the specious plea that official statistics of the retailprices of these commodities were not available. They therefore, computed the retail price by increasing the wholesale price by 20% for each of the commodity whereas the actual retail price in the market was 60% more than the wholesale price.
4) Broadly, one’s -emoluments should be adequate enough to commensurate with boundless and limitless assignments and to his duties and responsibilities in a better, effective and honest manner. The same has also to place, an employee to be in a position to fulfil his social and family obligations, such as education of children, their marriage, maintenance of a reasonable living standard for himself and his family members expected of Government servants and also to take care of his post retirement life.
5) The basis of fixing wages in the past was largely a consumer need related, which was considered at a bare minimum like the minimum nutritional level, minimum clothing, housing etc. But today life is more complex and living standards are not based on simple living and the same cannot be restricted to only for the working class. The producer of wealth being the consumer oriented also requires consumers, including the Central Government employees.
6) These employees are also placed in a disadvantageous situation vis-a-vis their counterparts in Central Public Sector undertakings, in whose case, the wage revisions normally takes place after every five years through Collective bargaining. The wage revision of the Central Government employees if not after five years it must be after every ten years and the Government needs to consider setting up of the Seventh Centra1 Pay Commission immediately. While conceding the fact that the Central Pay Commission is founded only in every 10 years, however with the coming of the year 2011, prices of most of the products needed in day to day life is increasing.
7) In brief the following decision need to he taken on Priority so that a positive message goes among serving Central Government Employees, Pensioners and Service and Para Military Personnels, the decision will also have bearing upon State Governments Employees:- A notification for constitution of 7th Central Pay Commission is the need of the hour, which is bound to have bearing upon about 20 million employees, which are opinion makers. Therefore the issues may please be considered by the concerned Ministries on Priority and appropriate decision is taken.
Sir, I will be extremely obliged if the above submission is considered favourably in larger interest of government employees as well as the party.

ANSWER
ANSWER
MINISTER FOR MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND
MINISTRY OF EARTH SCIENCES
(SHRI S. JAIPAL REDDY)
(a) to (d): A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.
STATEMENT LAID ON THE TABLE OF THE RAJYA SABHA IN REPLY (a) to (d) TO STARRED
QUESTION NO. *286 REGARDING “MODERNIZATION OF INDIAN METEOROLOGICAL
DEPARTMENT” TO BE ANSWERED
ON MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2013
(a) Yes Sir. The weather forecasting systems in the country are comparable to most of
the countries in the world with respect to rainfall forecasting. Efforts are being made
to optimize the level of efficiency of the forecasting systems.
(b) Yes Sir. Earth System Science Organization (ESSO) - IMD has already implemented
Phase-I of the Modernization during 2007-12.
(c) Under the Phase-I of the modernization of ESSO - IMD, the following state-of-the-art
systems were commissioned:
• Observing systems such as Automatic Weather Stations (AWS), Automatic Rain Gauges
(ARG), Doppler Weather Radars (DWR) etc.
• Monitoring/early warning systems
• Analysis-visualization-product dissemination systems
• High Performance Computing (HPC)
• Communication/IT systems
• Real-time data assimilation-forecast systems etc.
Further, several manual operations have been fully automated. All the scientific staff
engaged earlier have been provided due training to develop appropriate skills for
customization of sector specific (like agriculture, aviation etc.) warning and forecasting
services.
In order to capture the characteristics of the severe weather in real time, 24X7
monitoring system comprising 675 Nos. of AWSs; 1024 Nos. of ARGs; 17 S and
C-Band DWRs have been commissioned at Chennai, Sriharikota, Machilipatnam,
Visakhapatnam, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bhuj, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Patiala, Delhi Palam,
Lucknow, Patna, Mohanbari, Agartala, Delhi Lodi Road and Jaipur. Only DWR at Bhopal
is under commissioning.
High Performance Computing (HPC) systems have been used to enhance the weather
forecasting capacities by assimilating all available global satellite data for forecast
generation. The global model that was earlier run at 50Km grid scale are now run at
22Km grid. The regional scale model run earlier at 27Km grid is replaced by 9Km and
3Km grid scale models. The accuracy of short range (up to 3-days in advance) monsoon
forecasts has improved from 50-60% to 70-95%. The skill of district level medium range
rainfall forecast (up to 5-7days in advance) has improved from 60-70% to 75-85% in
monsoon season and from 70-75% to 85% in non-monsoon seasons.
As far as the track and landfall forecasts of the tropical cyclones are concerned, the
performance evaluation of the updated forecast systems for the past 5-years, have
demonstrated enhanced forecast skill by about 18%. ESSO-IMD currently operates 5- Doppler Weather Radars (DWR) at Chennai, Machilipatnam, Visakhapatnam, Kolkata, Sriharikota
on the east coast along with a network of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) and
Automatic Rain Gauges (ARG) for continuous weather surveillance over the Bay of Bengal.
ESSO-IMD has operationalized its location specific nowcasting (near real-time) weather
service for severe weather (Thunderstorms; heavy rainfall from lows/depressions over
the land) across the country. This service activity currently covers 117 urban centres on experimental basis under which nowcast of 3-6hour range is issued. Origin, evelopment/
movement of severe weather phenomena are regularly monitored through DWRs and
with all other available observing systems.
Integrated Agro-meteorological Advisory Service (AAS) is rendered now on twice-weekly
 basis in collaboration with State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), institutions of Indian
Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), etc. District level weather forecast for next
5-days in respect of:
• Rainfall
• maximum temperature, minimum temperature,
• wind speed, wind direction,
• relative humidity and clouds
• weekly cumulative rainfall forecast
are provided. Further, crop specific advisories to help the farmers are issued and
widely disseminated. The AAS of ESSO-IMD has been successful in providing the crop
specific advisories to the farmers through different print/visual/Radio/ IT based
media including short message service (SMS) and Interactive Voice Response Service
(IVRS) facilitating for appropriate field level actions.

(d) Does not arise.
