Only a strong government can ensure a nation’s security, which in turn is essential for its long-term development: PM Modi
The BJP-led NDA governments have always demonstrated their paramount commitments to strengthening national security: PM Modi in U.P.
The entire nation suffered greatly under ‘Mahamilawati’ governments of Congress-SP-BSP but still they say ‘Hua Toh Hua’: Prime Minister Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two major election rallies in Robertsganj and Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh today. At the rallies PM Modi spoke about the importance of having a strong and responsive government to ensure the security and development of a nation and said that every vote in favour of the BJP will result in the formation of such a government again post-elections.

PM Modi congratulated the efforts of all the scientists and leaders involved in the successful testing of India’s nuclear missiles 21 years ago under the able leadership of former NDA PM Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He added, “Strong and bold decisions on national security such as nuclear testing or Operation Shakti can only be conducted by a government that treats the nation’s security as its priority. The BJP-led NDA governments have always demonstrated their paramount commitments to strengthening national security as a top priority which has greatly benefitted the people of our country as well as enhanced our reputation as a strong nation globally.”

Tearing apart the Congress and its ‘Mahamilawat’ allies for neglecting India’s development with their poor governance and endemic corruption, Prime Minister Modi said, “The people of Uttar Pradesh vividly remember how weak and opportunist governments formed by Congress-SP-BSP ruined the state’s potential, its economy and law and order with their rampant corruption, divisive politics of votebank appeasement and promoting nepotism and dynastic politics for ten years in to the 21st century. However, these parties have no qualms about their misdeeds; rather than accepting their mistakes, they say ‘Hua Toh Hua’ (What’s happened has happened). Such justifying statements of the Congress and its Bua-Babua allies shows the utter contempt they have for the welfare of the people of U.P. Their prime agenda in this election is not discussing about issues like national security or development, it is about abusing Modi and grabbing power by any means possible.”

Concluding his wide-ranging address to the overwhelming crowd, PM Modi described how since coming to power in 2014 and 2017 respectively, BJP governments at Centre and U.P have achieved significant milestones in improving the lives of ordinary people through schemes like Ayushman Bharat, Ujjwala Yojana and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. He assured his supporters that with the continued support of UP, the BJP governments will take the state to newer heights of development and prosperity to make the dream of a ‘New India’ come true for every Indian.

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.
