As part of our capacity building efforts, we are currently conducting a practical training programme for over 1000 government officials at the Secretariat of the Government of Maharashtra (Mantralaya), focusing on the use of Artificial Intelligence in their day-to-day work.
Across what has been more than 15 sessions, our approach cuts across the administrative hierarchy, from those at the Secretary (IAS) level to those at the clerical level, thus enabling a shared foundation for using AI effectively in governance.
Can we guess which districts will be the most vulnerable to a climatic event?
Yes, we can!
We mapped how vulnerable Maharashtra's districts are to climate risk.
In a country where agriculture still anchors the livelihoods of nearly half the population, our analysis will enable governments, markets and farmers to shift from reactive crisis response to proactive, evidence-based planning.
How does a climate risk event impact these already vulnerable districts?
Stay tuned to @TheMetroInst to find out!

Highlights from the Nagpur Sub-City Heat Action Roundtable co-hosted by The Metropolitan Institute and @NRDC_India.
This short video captures key inputs from researchers, policymakers, and practitioners on what sub-city level heat action could look like for urban centres. – at Nagpur, India
This summer, we went around the streets of Nagpur to gather insights into living and working in the heat from those most affected. Their accounts highlight the need for urgent heat action and the importance of building it around those who face the heat with the least protection.
In her keynote Ms. Sujata Saunik (@ssaunik), Former Chief Secretary of Maharashtra, observed that climate conversations too often take place in silos, and welcomed the round table as a step towards closing that gap. Her remarks prompted a shared commitment to act collaboratively.
Contributions came from the @ngpnmc, @VNITN, @iForestGlobal,@ITDPIndia, @cfsdnagpur, MahaMetro, MahaStride, CREDAI, and others.
Last week, the Metropolitan Institute partnered with @NRDC_India to convene the Sub-City Heat Action Round Table at IIM Nagpur, the inaugural event of Maharashtra's new Centre of Excellence on Heat Resilience and Cooling Solutions.
