My contribution to the achievement of GDC mandate

The meteorological data which I avail is crucial in air quality forecasting in order to monitor the dispersion of emissions, as well as in the designing and siting of geothermal power plants and Direct Use projects. The data also ensures that geothermal resources are developed in line with the approved air quality guidelines and regulations.

Addressing the STEM gap

Science is an essential element that allows us to understand various phenomena, make scientific discoveries, and develop new technologies. Women and girls equipped with scientific knowledge have every capability to thrive in science fields like geothermal.
