Can cloud seeding be the answer to India's growing problem of uneven rains?

According to the IITM report, cloud seeding is a technique in which cloud-forming particles are used to increase rainfall

In the summer monsoon months of 2018 and 2019, two aircraft went up over Solapur, in Maharashtra, on a mission that was one of a kind. They were part of a Rs 200 crore project — though no confirmation of this amount is available — to infuse the clouds with particles having an affinity for water vapour.

This was part of the Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Rainfall Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX), Phase IV, conducted over two years to test the feasibility and effectiveness of cloud seeding to create rain.

This, understandably, has generated interest over its potential to address the growing problem of
