IMD was established in 1875

IMD, established in 1875 during the British era, will complete 150 years on January 15. It was established after the cyclone that hit Calcutta in 1864 and the repeated failure of the monsoon in 1866 and 1871. What once started as a simple structure, this institute has today become a center of weather forecasting, communication and scientific innovation. In the Telegram era, IMD used to send weather warnings the old fashioned way.
