Did you notice a guest appearance in the background of the second image?

Inna Lillahe. Hope the attacker is brought to justice soon.

Swarajya magazine put together a website called IndiaBuild, which tracks our indigenous capabilities across 10,000 core technology areas - our present capabilities, the technology gaps that remain, bottlenecks to achieving full stack capabilities, and govt schemes to encourage tech development.

Highly encourage anyone interested to take a look at it. It's super useful, and seems pretty in-depth. An example is their section on large marine diesel engines - accurately states IN's current dependence on imported engines, and then lays out both the ongoing tech development efforts to replace these imports and the tech gaps that need to be overcome to succeed.

Also useful to get a sense of what PLI and other schemes actually do. I was impressed by how in-depth some of the more recent govt R&D schemes are, like the RDI scheme - it goes in-depth into its target sectors, critical capabilities and subcomponents, and funding mechanisms.

A 10th pass gormint minister did not write that scheme. Neither did a chai-and-samosas babu. Someone smart put that together, and it has 1 lakh crore corpus behind it.

Take a look at that site if you're interested. I emerged feeling quite encouraged - there are a lot of green shoots of industrialisation emerging across public and private sectors. Long way to go, but I think we're finally getting on the industrialisation curve.

I have 3 questions regarding this image :

1. Is it even real, or just a CG?

2. Are those Twin BVR Pylons or something else?

3. Are there any official tender documents regarding it's development for the Mk-1A?

The ministry of home affairs (MHA) on Tuesday informed Parliament that retired Agniveers will be entitled to 50% reservation in the recruitment to constable (General Duty) and rifleman posts in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Assam Rifles, adding that they will be exempted from written examination, physical standard test (PST) and physical efficiency test (PET).

On March 16, 2023, the government had notified reserving 10% of vacancies for ex-Agniveers, with exemption only from the physical tests. Over the last year, various forces such as the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the Border Security Force (BSF) increased the reservation for ex-Agniveers from 10% to 50% while proposing exemption from both written and physical tests.

The minister also listed several recruitment provisions for retired Agniveers recruitment to CAPFs and Assam Rifles.

“Reservation of 50% of vacancies;

3 Years relaxation in prescribed upper age limit.

Further, age relaxation of 5 years beyond the prescribed upper age limit will be given to the candidates of the first batch of Ex-Agniveers;

And Exemption from the Physical Standards Test (PST), Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and written examination.

The first batch of around 2,600 Agniveers, inducted into the Navy in November 2022, is likely to retire later this year and become eligible to join the various CAPFs.

Some state police forces, including those from Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan, have also announced 20% reservations for ex-Agniveers.

The accused has been identified as Mohammad Rafiq Naik, a resident of Dwather, Singhpora, Kishtwar. He was serving as a cleric in a mosque in the Kalasoi area.

Police said Naik was the key ground handler for a Pakistan-backed terror group led by Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Saifullah. He provided shelter, food, supplies and coordination to Saifullah and his associates, enabling them to survive in the forests of Chatroo for nearly two years.

Saifullah and his group were eliminated by security forces in an operation earlier this year. Investigators say it was Naik's support network that kept them alive and active for so long.

Earlier, police had arrested Muneer Ahmed and Mashkoor Ahmed in connection with the same case. Sources said Mashkoor Ahmed, a school teacher was picked up for allegedly providing logistical and communication support to the same terror module.
