School weather stations will help students understand climate change, monitor variations in weather near their schools, and make interventions for the benefit of agriculture, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
He was speaking after the State-level inauguration of the school weather station project of the Samagra Shiksha, Kerala (SSK) at Dr. Vayala Vasudevan Pillai Memorial Government Higher Secondary School, Kollam district, here on Saturday.
The Minister, in his inaugural address, said that as schools were becoming modernised, the General Education Department was trying to implement programmes that could help students know and understand science better through the use of scientific and technological equipment. The school weather stations would help students monitor in advance the daily weather conditions of their local area and climate and prepare data on it.
