NEW DELHI, Feb 8 : Today, the Rajya Sabha was briefed by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy, and Space about a number of government efforts aimed at increasing space start-ups. The Minister declared, "The Government of India has released Indian Space Policy 2023, which defines the roles and responsibilities of all the stakeholders contributing to the overall Indian space ecosystems."Dr. Jitendra Singh responded to a question by listing a number of programmes that IN-SPACe has announced and put into place to support and encourage the private sector. These programmes include the Seed Fund Scheme, the Pricing Support Policy, Mentorship support, the Design Lab for NGEs, the Skill Development in Space Sector, the Technology Transfer to NGEs, and regular meetings and roundtables with the national and international industries to discuss possible business opportunities.About 51 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) have been inked by IN-SPACe with Non-Governmental Entities (NGEs) to supply the required assistance for the implementation of space systems and applications that these NGEs envision. This is anticipated to boost industry participation in the production of launch vehicles and satellites. He said that there are roughly 189 start-ups registered overall on the Digital Platform. Dr Jitendra Singh said that as of right present, ISRO has no plans for deep space probes. However, he said that conceptualization work is being done for more ambitious space exploration projects, such carrying on with the human spaceflight programme and sending more follow-up flights to the Moon and the Bhartiya Antriksh Station.The "Make in India" space technology effort is a calculated move to increase homegrown production, creativity, and independence in the space industry. Space technology is independent and serves both the upstream and downstream industries. Over the past five years, the Indian space programme has reached various new heights, demonstrating indigenous capabilities across all segments of space activities. This progress has been made possible in large part by the contribution of local enterprises. Important accomplishments include the creation of SSLV, the commercial launches of LVM3 and PSLV, earth observation satellites, navigation satellites, soft landings and moon rovings, the mission to study the Sun (Aditya-L1), and significant advancements towards the demonstration of human space travel.The following are some of the main points of the Minister's response regarding the Made in India initiative and its results. Domestic Space Hardware Manufacturing: Through IN-SPACe and ISRO, respectively, critical technologies and industrial ecosystems are being created. Indian NGEs are setting up production facilities for satellites and space systems. NGEs are setting up systems realisation facilities for launch vehicles.According to Dr. Jitendra Singh, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the United States Aerospace Administration (NASA) are already collaborating on the realisation of a combined satellite mission called "NISAR (NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar)," which is currently in the advanced stages of development. Thermo Infrared Imaging Satellite for High Resolution Natural Resource Assessment, or TRISHNA, is a collaborative satellite mission that ISRO and CNES (the French National Space Agency) are implementing. The programme is still in its early phases. To achieve a cooperative lunar polar exploration mission, ISRO and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) conducted a feasibility assessment.The Indian Space Policy-2023, which gives the private sector the freedom to innovate and pursue end-to-end space-related activities, was recently announced. Furthermore, to promote, approve, and encourage private sector participation in the space sector, the India National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) has been operating as a single-window agency. With the goal of improving the Indian space program's ability to advance programmatic priorities, expanding ground station networks, strengthening space science and Earth observation data bases, improving products and services through cooperative experiments, and building platforms for the influx of expertise, ISRO actively seeks out international collaboration.

New Delhi, Feb 8: Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared on Thursday that as the nation progresses, growth and legacy would march hand in hand because India's motto of unity in diversity is so all-encompassing that there is no room for division in it. Speaking during a celebration of Srila Prabhupada's 150th birthday at the Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, Modi announced that the Vande Bharat train will now operate throughout India in tandem with the development of Ayodhya and Mathura-Vrindavan.He lavished the spiritual master with praise and pointed out that the celebration of his 150th birthday coincided with the realisation of a centuries-old dream—that of a magnificent Ram temple in Ayodhya—just a few days prior. Speaking of the Ayodhya Ram temple and its consecration ceremony on January 22, Modi stated that only the saints' blessings could bring such a massive "mahayagya" to a successful conclusion. "We are commemorating Srila Prabhupada's 150th birthday at a time when the centuries-old desire of a magnificent Ram temple was realised only a few days ago. The prime minister remarked, "Your excitement is a reflection of your happiness for the Ram Lalla 'virajman.'"The prime minister declared, "India's motto of unity in diversity is so basic and all-encompassing that there is no room for division in it." He believed that the embodiment of devotion for Lord Krishna was the saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who lived in the 15th century. "He opened up spirituality and spiritual practices to the general public," Modi stated. Additionally, the prime minister will unveil a coin and commemorative stamp in the guru's honour.The Gaudiya Mission, founded by Prabhupada, was instrumental in maintaining and disseminating the core beliefs of the Vaishnava religion. As the hub of the Hare Krishna movement, the Gaudiya Mission has been instrumental in spreading the teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the rich spiritual legacy of Vaishnavism throughout the world.

CHHATTISGARH: Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Congress, attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday, saying that its two-point platform promotes injustice and incites violence and intolerance. Gandhi was speaking at a public gathering in Rengalpali hamlet, located in the Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh, following his entry into the state from Odisha with his "Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra." He also took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, arguing that because the then-BJP administration in Gujarat had added his caste, the "ghanchi," to the list of Other Backward Classes in 2000, he was not an OBC by birth. "The BJP's two-point programme is to encourage injustice and spread hatred and violence," said Gandhi. The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which took place in 2022–23, travelled 4,000 kilometres from Kanyakumari to Kashmir in protest of the BJP's efforts to incite hatred and foster violence. He remarked that in order to seek justice for the people, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra has now begun. Gandhi reiterated his party's call for a caste census, asking, "If Modi ji is right and there are just two castes in India—the poor and the rich—then why did he become an OBC?Modi ji is not an OBC by birth. When the BJP administration in Gujarat was in power in 2000, Modi ji's caste, the ghanchi, was included to the OBC (category). The OBC was not your PM's source. He continues to refer to him as an OBC, but in reality, he belonged to the general category caste.

NEW DELHI, Feb 8: As he bid farewell to Rajya Sabha members who were retiring, Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Manmohan Singh's legacy in the House on Thursday. According to Modi, Manmohan Singh used a wheelchair to cast his vote in the Rajya Sabha in order to support democracy. He complimented Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge for releasing a "black paper" criticising his government, calling it "kaala teeka" (to ward off the evil eye) in the midst of his government's good performance, in a caustic jab at the Congress.The prime minister said, "We also saw a fashion parade in the Rajya Sabha when some members came in black clothes," in reference to the opposition MPs' black robes worn in the House as a symbol of protest. He wished everyone retiring the best of luck and expressed the hope that their experiences will be useful to future generations. After serving their whole terms, sixty-eight Rajya Sabha members will retire between February and May.

JHARSUGUDA, Feb 8: On Thursday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "misleading" people by claiming to be an OBC while, in reality, he was not born into an Other Backward Class family. On the third and last day of his "Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra" in Odisha, Gandhi made a brief speech here in which he stated that Modi "was born in a family that belonged to the general caste." "By falsely claiming to be an OBC, Modi ji has been fooling the public. His family was of the Teli caste, which was listed as an OBC during the 2000 Gujarati administration led by the Bharatiya Janata Party. Modi ji is therefore not an OBC by birth, the Congress MP claimed.Gandhi further claimed that the prime minister "hugs billionaires" rather than shaking hands with OBCs. The former president of Congress, dressed in an off-white t-shirt, started the yatra anew on Thursday at this location's Old Bus Stand and proceeded in an open jeep towards Kissan Chowk. Ajoy Kumar, the leader of the AICC, and Sarat Pattnayak, the president of the OPCC, were with him. The yatra will leave Odisha in the afternoon and arrive in Chhattisgarh.
