Ground based observations of whistler mode ELF/VLF (300 Hz 30 kHz) waves are considered as an important remote sensing tool for the investigation of upper atmosphere and magnetosphere. These VLF waves find their origin in various natural and artificial phenomena, the natural sources include thunderstorms, lightning and associated phenomena. Despite of the fact that conjugate region of India having less lightning activity as it lies in Indian Ocean and also the height of the magnetic field lines connecting the conjugate regions lies in the ionosphere/atmosphere, lot of interesting VLF activity through the magnetosphere is observed in Indian low latitude region. Sub-ionospheric VLF transmissions propagating inside the Earth-ionosphere wave-guide is also being widely used for investigating sudden ionospheric perturbations in lower part of the ionosphere. For this purpose we propose to monitor VLF signals continuously at several locations in Indian sector with the help of AWESOME VLF receivers from Stanford University. AWESOME receivers are capable of collecting both broadband (used for the study of natural signals) and narrowband (sub-ionospheric VLF signals corresponding to VLF transmitters) data. The obtained data will enable us to understand the generation and propagation mechanism of radio atmospherics from lightning flashes, magnetospheric whistlers, VLF emissions and other naturally occurring phenomena. Narrowband sub- ionospheric VLF signals and ground based geomagnetic data in Indian low latitude region will help us to study sudden ionospheric disturbances associated with transient phenomena like solar flares, geomagnetic storms, cosmic gamma-ray flares, etc.
