What Congress has done in the name of loan waivers will go down in history as one of the cruel jokes on farmers: PM Modi

Tourism opens the gates for prosperity for all. Tourism includes 3 Ts: Tradition, Talent and Trade: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with BJP booth workers from Belagavi, Bidar, Davangere, Dharwad and Haveri in Karnataka through video conference. The interaction saw PM Modi touch upon several key issues concerning the people of Karnataka and the country at large.

The interaction began at Belagavi where a party worker asked PM Modi his views on the plight of farmers and other communities under the Congress-led government in Karnataka, to which he replied, “What they have done in the name of loan waivers will go down in history as one of the most cruel jokes on farmers. After 6 months in power, news reports say that the Government could only benefit a handful of farmers with their loan waiver scheme. These people go around the country claiming credit for what they have done for farmers. Will they also take credit for the farmers committing suicide in Karnataka? Those in power think that just because they have formed a government by hook or crook, they can get away with anything. But the people of Karnataka and people of India are watching them and their actions. The people will soon teach them a lesson for their ill governance of the state.”

Comparing the state of affairs in Karnataka with that of rest of the country under BJP-led governments, PM Modi described numerous measures and initiatives taken by his government in sectors like MSMEs, tourism and education that have transformed these sectors.

Concluding his wide-ranging interaction at Haveri, Prime Minister Modi talked about the approach of his youth-led governance policies having four core elements, a 4E approach of Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Excellence. He said such a multi-level approach addresses the main issues that the youth of our country are faced with and empowers them to succeed in life.

Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS) Our own Space Station for Scientific research to be established with the launch of its first module in 2028
September 18, 2024
Cabinet approved Gaganyaan Follow-on Missions and building of Bharatiya Antariksh Station: Gaganyaan – Indian Human Spaceflight Programme revised to include building of first unit of BAS and related missions
Human space flight program to continue with more missions to space station and beyond

The union cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the building of first unit of the Bharatiya Antariksh Station by extending the scope of Gaganyaan program. Approval by the cabinet is given for development of first module of Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS-1) and undertake missions to demonstrate and validate various technologies for building and operating BAS. To revise the scope & funding of the Gaganyaan Programme to include new developments for BAS & precursor missions, and additional requirements to meet the ongoing Gaganyaan Programme.

Revision in Gaganyaan Programme to include the scope of development and precursor missions for BAS, and factoring one additional uncrewed mission and additional hardware requirement for the developments of ongoing Gaganyaan Programme. Now the human spaceflight program of technology development and demonstration is through eight missions to be completed by December 2028 by launching first unit of BAS-1.

The Gaganyaan Programme approved in December 2018 envisages undertaking the human spaceflight to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and to lay the foundation of technologies needed for an Indian human space exploration programme in the long run. The vision for space in the Amrit kaal envisages including other things, creation of an operational Bharatiya Antariksh Station by 2035 and Indian Crewed Lunar Mission by 2040. All leading space faring nations are making considerable efforts & investments to develop & operationalize capabilities that are required for long duration human space missions and further exploration to Moon and beyond.

Gaganyaan Programme will be a national effort led by ISRO in collaboration with Industry, Academia and other National agencies as stake holders. The programme will be implemented through the established project management mechanism within ISRO. The target is to develop and demonstrate critical technologies for long duration human space missions. To achieve this goal, ISRO will undertake four missions under ongoing Gaganyaan Programme by 2026 and development of first module of BAS & four missions for demonstration & validation of various technologies for BAS by December, 2028.

The nation will acquire essential technological capabilities for human space missions to Low Earth Orbit. A national space-based facility such as the Bharatiya Antariksh Station will boost microgravity based scientific research & technology development activities. This will lead to technological spin-offs and encourage innovations in key areas of research and development. Enhanced industrial participation and economic activity in human space programme will result in increased employment generation, especially in niche high technology areas in space and allied sectors.

With a net additional funding of ₹11170 Crore in the already approved programme, the total funding for Gaganyaan Programme with the revised scope has been enhanced to ₹20193 Crore.

This programme will provide a unique opportunity, especially for the youth of the country to take up careers in the field of science and technology as well as pursue opportunities in microgravity based scientific research & technology development activities. The resulting innovations and technological spin-offs will be benefitting the society at large.
