Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Plant: A Major Step Towards Self-Reliance

Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Plant: A Major Step Towards Self-Reliance

India is steadily moving towards self-reliance and technological independence, especially under programs like Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India. These initiatives aim to reduce reliance on imports across various sectors, including sustainable energy. An essential part of this shift is gaining the ability to access and process critical minerals. Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are crucial in making high-performance components like Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPMs). These magnets are widely used in wind turbines, electric cars, electronics and defense applications.

Biological Research Regulatory Approval Portal (BioRRAP): India’s Single-Window Framework For Biological Research- Policy Highlights 2025

India is emerging as a global leader in biotechnology, with its biotech sector valued at USD 165.7 billion in 2024 and projected to reach USD 300 billion by 2030. Recognising the sector's vast potential to address global challenges, the Government of India launched BioRRAP (Biological Research Regulatory Approval Portal) in 2022, an online platform developed and maintained by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) under the Ministry of Science & Technology. 

High-Performance Computing System for Climate Resilience and Forecast Precision in India

High-Performance Computing System for Climate Resilience and Forecast Precision in India

India began its journey with High-Performance Computing (HPC) several decades back, but it was not a smooth beginning. Supercomputers and HPC systems were categorized as strategic and dual-use technologies by many developed nations, which limited the access of supercomputers to India. The first attempt to indigenously create supercomputing systems for research and development was the development of PARAM 8000, developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC).

India’s Real Security Lies in Economic Strength, Not Trump’s Words

India has overtaken China as the largest buyer of Russian oil. This is not because the Chinese are running scared of American wrath over their Russian commerce. China is increasingly moving to electricity for transport, with more than half of all new car sales being of electric vehicles and high-speed trains that run on electricity offering viable alternatives to air travel on quite a few routes, and will increasingly buy smaller quantities of oil. China has stepped up its purchases of piped natural gas from Russia.
