DST - Mahamana Centre of Excellence in Climate Change Research (MCECCR) is an initiative taken at BHU under Prime Minister's National Action Plan on Climate Change. The centre started in May 2017 funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India to develop fundamental understanding of the climate change and deducing its impact on the water, health and agricultural sectors from local to global scales. The primary goal of the centre is to develop infrastructure facilities for climate simulation modeling, to understand climatic impacts and vulnerability assessment of agriculture, water, health, socio-economic sector and to develop proper adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Welcome to DST - Mahamana Centre of Excellence in Climate Change Research (MCECCR). The main goal of this Center is to develop a holistic approach for solving climate change related problems and impact assessment.
