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.

Indo-Japan Partnership for Semiconductors: An Assessment of Mutual Objectives and Supply Chain Autonomy

Semiconductors, often used as integrated circuits, transistors, diodes, and microchips, are essential building blocks for the tech sector. Preferably made with silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide, these chips are also used by doping, i.e., modulating the electrical and structural properties for smartphones, radios, TVs, computers, video games, advanced medical equipment, optical sensors, light emitters including solid-state lasers, AI, quantum computing and other technologies integral to the modern human world.

Modified Electronic Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0): India’s Electronic Transformation

India’s electronics manufacturing sector entered a transformative phase with the launch of the Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) scheme. This initiative was introduced to address long-standing infrastructure bottlenecks that limited the country’s ambition of becoming a global hub for electronics production.

Demonetisation

Another Policy, Same Mistake: The GST Rate Cut Echoes Demonetisation’s Flaws

The demand will shift further from the unorganised to the organised sector. This, will accelerate the decline of the unorganised sector leading to loss of employment and incomes and decline in demand.

Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras (PMKK) – Model Training Centres (2025)

India is undergoing a unique demographic phase, with over half of its population under the age of 25 and a continuously growing workforce. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge: to transform this human resource base into a skilled and productive force that can drive economic growth.

Complicity

The Saudi-Pakistan Pact and the Question of U.S. Complicity

The direct fallout of the Israeli strikes on Qatar to eliminate Hamas leaders and negotiators for Gaza and the US deep state’s complicity and political leadership’s double-speak and tongue-in-cheek stance has reinforced the utter unreliability of the US security cover once again for the countries in West Asia and North Africa, especially the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
