In a significant step towards advancing seismic research and providing valuable insights into seismic activity, the NCS has successfully compiled a comprehensive Seismological Bulletin covering a period of two years from 2021 to 2022. This meticulous compilation brings together crucial data, analysis, and observations about seismic events that occurred within this timeframe.
Seismological bulletins play a vital role in understanding and mitigating the impact of earthquakes and other seismic events. By collating detailed information about the location, magnitude, depth, and time of each earthquake, the compendium provides valuable data for seismologists, geologists, disaster management agencies, and policymakers.
The release of this extensive compendium is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the team at NCS-MoES, who have been at the forefront of monitoring and studying seismic activity in India. The insights derived from the bulletin are expected to aid in formulating strategies for disaster preparedness and response, ensuring the safety and well-being of the population in earthquake-prone regions.
On the momentous occasion of MoES’s 17th foundation day, the Honorable Cabinet Minister, Shri Kiran Rijiju, expressed his appreciation for the NCS’s significant contributions to the field of seismology. He acknowledged the institute’s unwavering commitment to providing accurate and timely information about seismic events, which is instrumental in reducing the vulnerability of communities to earthquake-related hazards.
The Secretary, MoES, and the Director of NCS-MoES were also present during the release ceremony, acknowledging the dedication and hard work of the NCS team. They emphasized the importance of continued research and development in seismology and related fields, with a focus on strengthening India’s resilience to seismic events.
This milestone event marks a remarkable achievement for the National Center for Seismology and serves as a beacon of progress in the field of seismological research. As the compendium becomes available for scientific communities, researchers, and policymakers, it is hoped that the insights it offers will lead to more informed decision-making and further advancements in earthquake preparedness and disaster management across the nation.
