This paper reviews the regular monitoring of the Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) of a large number of radio sources at the Ooty Radio Telescope. These measurements provide images of the inner heliosphere and they are useful to study the conditions of the steady-state solar wind and the transients caused by the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the `Sun-Earth' space. The result indicates that the radial evolution of the CME speed is determined by its initial speed as well as by its interaction with the preceding transients/background solar wind. This study enables the empirical prediction of arrival of CME at 1 AU. The comparison of the observed and predicted arrivals enhances our understanding of the interaction between the CME and the ambient solar wind flow. The scintillation result on the steady-state solar wind and its changes with the solar cycle will also be discussed.
