Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): State science and technology minister Omprakash Sakhlecha said the benefit of technology should reach last person. Universal Climate Resilience Information System and Planning (U-CRISP) tool will help in understanding the ecosystem and climatic conditions.
The minister was addressing the launch event of U-CRISP tool organised by Madhya Pradesh Council of Science and Technology here on Friday. He said that villages would be connected through the tool and the information received from it will reach villages. “We will have to work by understanding the difference that has risen between urban and rural areas due to rapid technological change,” he added.
