Ever since its establishment in 1956, the Indian Meteorological Society has been constantly expanding both in terms of its membership and activities. At present, the total membership of the society is nearly 2000. With its growing popularity and expansion, IMS has been able to reach not only to meteorological community but also amongst a wide spectrum of scientists of allied fields.

 

The IMS organizes its activities from HQ office in Delhi as well as through its 16 Chapters located at different places in the country. The Society has been organizing successfully its annual symposium popularly known as ?TROPMET? every year since 1992 at various locations in the country. It has also organized several international conferences and workshops in recent years.

The society is publishing its quarterly journal ?Vayu Mandal? from its HQ office. The society has started awarding Fellowships and Honorary Fellowships since 1996 and at present there are 12 Honorary Fellows and 36 Fellows. The Society has also instituted several awards. Recently IMS has instituted a new award known as ?Sir Gilbert Walker Gold Medal? which is being awarded to a scientist having outstanding contribution in the field of monsoon research. In spite of all round progress made by the society, it has long been felt that it has not been able to reach to the members and other interested people in an effective manner.

The IMS Web page is expected to fill this gap as we intend to provide as much information as possible through this site. I earnestly hope that the site will serve a useful purpose in this regard. We shall welcome any constructive suggestion for improvement of the site.
