Harsh Vardhan inaugurates oceanography centre in Hyderabad

Union minister for science and technology Harsh Vardhan Saturday inaugurated the Atal Complex for International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean), which provides training in operational oceanography.

The centre was set up in the premises of INCOIS here. The centre was established after the union government decided in 2013 to contribute by setting up a permanent training centre when the Intergovernmental Oceanographic commission (IOC) of UNESCO requested its members to finance and undertake capacity building programs.
