The following is a list of major earthquakes which have occurred in India, including those with epicentres outside India that caused significant damage or casualties in the country. Earthquakes [ edit ]
The "Parkfield earthquake prediction experiment" was the most heralded scientific earthquake prediction ever. [ 186 ] [ t ] It was based on an observation that the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas Fault [ u ] breaks regularly with a moderate earthquake of about M 6 every several decades: 1857, 1881, 1901, 1922, 1934, and 1966. [ 187 ]
Extrapolation from the Parkfield earthquakes of 1857, 1881, 1901, 1922, 1934, and 1966 led to a forecast of an earthquake around 1988, or before 1993 at the latest (at the 95% confidence interval), based on the characteristic earthquake model. [12] Instrumentation was put in place in hopes of detecting precursors of the anticipated earthquake.
However, insofar as a verifiable prediction would require a publicly stated announcement of the location, time, and size of an impending event before its occurrence, neither Quakefinder nor Heraud have yet verifiably predicted an earthquake, much less issued multiple predictions of the type that might be objectively testable for statistical ...

An earthquake struck along the border of northeast India and Bangladesh on Monday, sending tremors through the region, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The 5.5 magnitude quake was at a depth of 10 ...
The National Centre for Seismology (NCS) is an office of India's Ministry of Earth Sciences. [1] The office monitors earthquakes and conducts seismological research. Specifically, it provides earthquake surveillance and hazard reports to governmental agencies. It consists of various divisions: Earthquake Monitoring & Services
Prediction of earthquakes with this method is based on the detection, recording and evaluation of seismic electric signals or SES. These electrical signals have a fundamental frequency component of 1 Hz or less and an amplitude the logarithm of which scales with the magnitude of the earthquake. [20]
