Youth Innovation Lab (YI-Lab) is a not-for-profit civic tech company that works at the intersection of emerging cutting-edge technological tools and their applications by equipping young professionals to solve emerging challenges in our community. YI-Lab’s mission statement is, ‘to engage young people to bridge science to people and policy through innovation’. YI-Lab harnesses indigenous knowledge, citizen science approach, develops low-cost technological solutions, promotes open data, promotes entrepreneurship, and conducts evidence-based advocacy campaigns. YI-Lab provides a conducive environment for young people to co-create solutions for inclusive development.

SUCHAK-AI applies artificial intelligence to strengthen the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology's (DHM) core service delivery functions for forecasting, impact assessment, and public risk communication without displacing DHM's institutional authority over verification and dissemination. Following the engagement between DHM, People in Need (PIN), British Embassy Kathmandu (BEK), and Youth Innovation Lab (YIL) on 27 July 2026, this two- pager sets out the project in full: what it will deliver, how, and by when.

The project is framed under the RAIN Programme, with funding drawn from EDIT. YIL delivers as a technical partner to PIN, working alongside BEK-embedded staff within DHM, and in continued coordination with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) to ensure consistency with national multi-hazard early warning systems.

Across all four strands, delivery follows a government-embedded, human-in-the-loop model: AI tools handle monitoring, synthesis, visualisation, and drafting, while DHM staff retain final judgement over verification and public dissemination. This design safeguards institutional accountability, reduces the risk of automated error reaching end users, and ensures DHM remains the trusted, authoritative source of hydrometeorological information throughout.
