Hyderabad: The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) on Wednesday celebrated the CSIR Foundation Day at NGRI, Hyderabad. The laboratories and observatories at NGRI were kept open for public which witnessed a huge gathering.
The ‘Open Day’ saw huge footfall at NGRI as people thronged in large numbers to know more about Mother Earth. Students had a first-hand account of how earthquakes can be measured and monitored at laboratories and observatories and they also observed heliborne groundwater exploration studies being carried out at CSIR-NGRI.
Prof Archana Bhattacharya, former Director for Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, said space weather studies for reliable predictions were important in today’s world of technology. She said that there was a fascinating journey of how the sun, earth and environments interact.
She also elaborated space weather studies for accurate GPS measurements, particularly relevant for low latitude/equatorial ionosphere.
On the Foundation Day of CSRI, the retirees and the staff who completed 25 years of service in the organisation were honoured.
