Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: The Bharat Forecast System (BharatFS) operates on a 6 km horizontal resolution, which is roughly the size of a cluster of panchayats or villages. Its primary objective is to generate highly accurate, location-specific forecasts at the panchayat cluster level and improve the prediction of extreme weather events like cyclones, heavy rainfall, and heatwaves.

Statement 2 is incorrect: The BharatFS was developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, an autonomous institute under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, not by IIT Delhi. The model is based on the Triangular Cubic Octahedral (TCo) dynamical grid and utilizes India's advanced supercomputing facilities to provide real-time weather predictions, significantly reducing runtime and improving accuracy over earlier models.
