Spoke to ISRO Chief Dr. V. Narayanan, after GSLV-F18/NVS-03 success
I ask: what does having 4 NAVIC satellites mean for 🇮🇳; why the open Satellite Pyro valve configuration matters, eventually how many NVS-series satellites + backups planned

📍Brahmaputra River, Dibrugarh, Assam
Pouring milk into the Brahmaputra as part of religious rituals is a matter of faith, but throwing the empty milk packets into the river afterwards is absolutely ridiculous. Respect your beliefs, but respect nature too.
Keep the Brahmaputra clean! 🙏🌊
PS - I don’t see any dustbins placed on riverfront stretch.

Breaking new grounds in Ladakh’s high-altitude agricultural landscape!
Proud to announce that the experimental saffron cultivation, over recently restored degraded land in Leh, has begun to blossom, in a record-breaking 30 days, against the usual two-month timeline for the first bloom. Inspected the saffron field today to witness the first saffron bloom.
On an average, 20 to 25 flowers are blooming daily with 72 flowers blooming this morning. In just 04 days, nearly 22 grams of pure saffron has been collected.
This remarkable achievement is a powerful testament to the resilience of our environment and the immense, untapped potential of high-altitude farming in our region.
This breakthrough lays a promising foundation for commercial-scale production, thereby, opening up new avenues for cultivation, agro-based entrepreneurship in Ladakh and paving the way for a stronger, thriving, self-reliant local economy.
My deepest appreciation and congratulations to the Agriculture Department of UT Ladakh, our dedicated and hardworking field staff, for significantly contributing to the success of this pilot project.

I would have loved to see the Tejas Mk2 manufacturing journey showcased with the same scale and enthusiasm as the Bharat Bullet Train project showcased by Ashwini Vaishnaw ji.
Unfortunately, Ninja ji has let down indigenous defence manufacturing and its capabilities. Neither the MoD nor the Defence Minister seems interested in creating such a grand showcase of India's indigenous aerospace capabilities. Apparently, imported platforms make for better publicity than homegrown achievements!

So good, i wish other departments too shared technical progress of their programs like this
Imagine seeing fabrication work for NGLV engines, or construction footage from the new launchpad, early prototyping of chandrayaan 4 and 5, building of telescopes, testing chips etc

NavIC had three working satellites. You need four to get a position fix. Last night ISRO launched the fourth.
NVS-03, 2,232 kg, an Indian built atomic clock, and a new L1 signal that ordinary phone chips can read. Next time your phone finds you in a tunnel in the Himalaya, this is why.

"A burst of fire. And suddenly, GSLV-F18 began its journey towards space, carrying NVS-03, India's navigation satellite."

Lost in the less important headlines yesterday, a truly proud day—Manisha Bhanwala creates history, becomes India's FIRST-EVER women's world wrestling champion. 🤼♀️🇮🇳🥇

Now that the poverty numbers have been accepted globally, here’s another common question from critics: If poverty has fallen so dramatically, why do 80 crore Indians receive food subsidies?
Because social protection is not the same as poverty alleviation!
Public social spending (% of GDP):
🇫🇮 Finland: 31.4%
🇩🇰 Denmark: 26.4%
🇸🇪 Sweden: 26.1%
🇳🇴 Norway: 24.1%
🇬🇧 UK: 23%
India spends just 0.6% on food subsidies.
A welfare state is not merely a poverty-relief programme. #ViksitBharat🇮🇳

India’s Drone Strategy: Why the Next Strategic Asset May Be an Empty Runway
1/9
Not every strategic asset needs to be built from scratch. India is reportedly examining whether underutilised airfields in its northern regions can serve as backup operating bases for long-range UAVs. The idea is simple: more options on the ground mean greater resilience in the air.
Here's why it matters. 🧵👇

I don't think people realise how big a deal this is.
If you have cancer, or somebody you know has cancer, there is a company in Hyderabad that wants to build a personalised cancer vaccine for you.
Try approaching any big pharma company and asking for a personal vaccine. If they even reply to your email, this is the response you'll get: we don't do that here.
PopVax, on the other hand, takes your tumour sequencing data (or a sequence you've designed), designs candidate neoantigen vaccine sequences with their AI pipeline, produces the mRNA, encapsulates it in their LNP formulation, fills vials, and runs QC, all in 8 to 10 weeks. They’re publicly committing to capacity for 100+ of these over the next 12 months and asking people to email them their cancer type/stage and sequencing details.
What a time to be alive.
