What a performance by our Asian Para Games athletes! They have shown what aiming high really looks like. nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/2VNEmRvnX…

1️⃣4️⃣ to 1️⃣1️⃣4️⃣ On one hand this is a number…a statistic of India’s rise in the Asian Para Games. But, importantly, this meteoric rise suggests something else…the immense potential and talent of our athletes. This year we had: 30 Gold Medals + 5 World Records + 9 Asian Records + 4 events where Indians swept the entire podium! Two of my favourite data points: Of the 61 athletes making their Asian Para Games debut, 36 came back home with medals. There are 34 medal winners among 56 women athletes! Our athletes have shown that no dream is too big and no challenge too great when there is determination. Those days are long over when society frowned upon youngsters who wanted to pursue sports. Now, if you have the talent, India will support you and cheer for you. Come, play and shine!

From less delay to faster justice! pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDetai…

Let me ask you… If India’s Metro network had continued expanding at the pace it did before 2014, how long would the wait be for cities like Pune to have a metro? YEARS….no…DECADES perhaps. And that was UNACCEPTABLE. In 2014, India had just 248 km of Metro lines across 5 cities. Today, we have nearly 1,200 km across 26 cities. Over 1 crore people travel by Metro every day. The impact goes beyond statistics or numbers. It means less time in traffic, more family time, greater productivity and better opportunities. This is the transformation we are working towards for urban India!

Do you feel India should depend on other countries for processing the critical minerals that power our future?
 I certainly don’t! Lithium, nickel, cobalt…these are essential for EVs, batteries, electronics and defence. Yet, we remain heavily dependent on imports of refined materials. To address this, the Cabinet has approved a scheme to change this. Key highlights: New critical mineral processing plants. Capital subsidy to boost investment. Greater domestic value addition. Stronger supply chains. The principle is clear...India must have capabilities to build technologies of the future! pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDetai…

Better data means better decisions, better policies and better delivery to people. The Cabinet has approved the VISTAR Scheme to transform India's statistical system. The key aspects to note are the usage of tech and AI, micro level focus and building modern as well as integrated statistical systems. pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDetai…

Store More → Import Less → Power India Round the Clock! The Cabinet has approved a massive Rs 14,500 crore push to develop 92 GWh of energy storage capacity, supporting an estimate of almost 1 lakh crore investment! Unique features are: 60 GWh of pumped hydro storage. 30 GWh of battery energy storage. 2 GWh through emerging technologies. 40% minimum domestic content for battery storage projects. Truly, it is more reliable power, greater renewable energy integration and stronger energy security. pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDetai…

What makes Pune Metro's new Pink Line so special? 23 km connecting Hinjewadi's IT hub with Shivajinagar. Operated by women. Almost a third of the electricity needs planned from solar energy. Tomorrow, this Rs. 8,300 crore infra enhancement will be inaugurated! A significant boost to 'Ease of Living' for Pune! pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDetai…

यस्य वाङ्मनसी स्यातां सम्यक् प्रणिहिते सदा। तपस्त्यागश्च सत्यं च स वै सर्वमवाप्नुयात्॥

A better-connected Pune is a faster-growing Pune! New Metro projects will boost the city's growth and improve Ease of Living. nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/2RezBMBYY…

A ZERO that speaks volumes. @crpfindia

Congratulations to our scientists and engineers at ISRO on the successful launch of GSLV-F18 carrying NVS-03. This mission marks an important step in strengthening NavIC, our indigenous satellite navigation system. Equipped with enhanced capabilities, NVS-03 will further our pursuit of self-reliance in critical technologies and support navigation services that benefit our people. The dedication and ingenuity of our space scientists continue to make our nation proud. @isro
