Atmospheric Observations Network (AON) is a continuing scheme launched by the Ministry of Earth Sciences(MoES) for research and development focusing on the Earth's Atmosphere and environmental science.With growing climate variability, the need for accurate, localised, and real-time meteorological data has become increasingly critical across various sectors, including agriculture, aviation, disaster management, and urban planning.An advanced model with high-resolution data and reliable observations is the backbone of an accurate forecast.The Atmospheric Observation Network aims to meet this by measuring continuous critical atmospheric parameters through surface stations, upper-air instruments, radars and satellites, within the standards stipulated by WMO(World Meteorological Organization).
The "Chips to Startup (C2S) Programme" is a foundation scheme of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and follows through on the National Policy on Electronics 2019 (NPE-2019).

Polarized Doppler Weather Radars (DWRs) are forecasting systems that use both horizontal and vertical polarization to gather detailed information about precipitation. The operating frequencies of DWRs can range from S-band to X-band, depending on terrain, application, and coverage range. Commissioning PDWRs is an initiative by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) and is part of one of the eight sub-schemes of ACROSS (Atmospheric & Climate
