DESCRIPTION:Earth Observation (EO) data offers powerful tools for monitorin
 g drought conditions\, assessing agricultural impacts\, and supporting ear
 ly warning systems at large scales. However\, its potential remains underu
 tilised in shaping effective policies. This panel discussion will explore 
 how EO data can be integrated into policy frameworks to enhance resilience
  by understanding the dynamics of spatiotemporal rainfall variability\, su
 stainable management of water and agricultural resources\, and ecosystem s
 ervices\, aligning with the SDGs. Experts will share insights on bridging 
 the gap between technology\, policy\, and practice to inform climate-smart
  decision-making.\n\nSpeakers\n\n- Dr. Vikrant Maurya\, National Institute
