WhatsApp Weather Alert System for Telangana Farmers..

The Telangana government is planning to provide advance weather alerts to farmers through WhatsApp. Alerts regarding rainfall, wind conditions, and temperature changes will be sent directly to farmers’ mobile phones. A formal agreement has been signed with the Development Innovation Lab (DIL) to deliver accurate district and mandal-level weather forecasts.

With the support of IMD, real-time weather updates will be shared via WhatsApp to help farmers take timely decisions. Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao stated that the initiative aims to reduce losses caused by weather fluctuations and improve the use of modern technology for farmers’ benefit.
