The JWG reviewed progress since its first meeting held on 13 November 2024. The minutes of the inaugural meeting were confirmed and adopted, and Points of Contact from both sides were designated to facilitate coordination and implementation of agreed activities.
Taken together, these developments show that India is no longer looking merely for another imported fighter engine. The larger objective is to acquire the capability to design, develop, test, manufacture, upgrade and support advanced gas turbines inside India.
Bengaluru-based Niqo Robotics is developing a more selective alternative. Its camera systems observe crops while agricultural machinery moves through the field, artificial-intelligence models identify individual plants or weeds, and electronically controlled nozzles release chemical only at the selected target.
The research represents an interesting convergence of 3D printing, biomaterials, nanostructured surfaces and regenerative medicine. Instead of adding an antibiotic or conventional antibacterial chemical to the implant, the researchers engineered the physical structure of its surface so that microscopic spikes attack bacteria mechanically.
Organised jointly by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and global semiconductor industry association SEMI, this year’s conference carries the theme “Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem.” The event comes as India attempts to expand beyond electronics assembly and establish capabilities across semiconductor design, fabrication, packaging, materials, equipment and advanced electronics manufacturing.
A flock of magnificent swans descended before Nala. Their wings gleamed with a golden radiance. Among them was one remarkable bird that would soon become the messenger through whom two distant hearts found one another. The episode appears in the Nalopakhyana, the celebrated story of Nala and Damayanti narrated in the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata.
Known botanically as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Japa belongs to the Malvaceae family. Modern botanical databases such as Kew currently treat the cultivated plant as Hibiscus × rosa-sinensis. Indian medicinal-plant references continue to widely use the name Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.
Surasena was not important simply because Mathura later became one of the great sacred cities of India. In the Mahabharata, the region stands at the heart of the Yadava world. It is connected with Krishna, Balarama, Vasudeva, Kunti, the Vrishnis, Andhakas and Bhojas. It also becomes one of the principal theatres of the long political struggle between the Yadavas and Jarasandha of Magadha.
Lupin announced the approval on August 17, 2026, stating that its Abbreviated New Drug Application had received final clearance from the USFDA. The tablets are bioequivalent to Wakix, the reference medicine associated with Harmony Biosciences.
The project, being led by the Atal Incubation Centre – Anna University (AIC-AU), will evaluate the battery as a potential long-duration energy storage, or LDES, solution for India’s rapidly changing power grid. The pilot is expected to provide real-world data on the technology’s technical performance, reliability and operating behaviour under power-station conditions.
