#Bengaluru Press Conference Highlights: *One of the significant achievements of recent years has been the growing connect between science and society, with citizens increasingly seeing themselves as stakeholders in India’s scientific progress. *While missions such as Chandrayaan-3 have established India among the world’s leading space-faring nations, initiatives such as PM Gati Shakti, Amrut urban development programmes etc demonstrate how India is using space technology in planning, implementing and monitoring infrastructure projects. *India’s space economy is poised to grow from the current USD 8-9 billion to nearly USD 40-45 billion over the next decade, driven by policy reforms, increasing private participation and a rapidly expanding innovation ecosystem. *Advanced technologies have strengthened India's global standing. The confidence generated by these achievements has enhanced the credibility of indigenous technologies and reinforced India’s position as a trusted technology partner. #RISE_Conclave2026

My Article in “The Pioneer”: "12 Years of Science in Service of India". To coincide with June 9, the day when Modi 3.0 completes two years in office, and cumulative twelve years without break. #12YearsofSeva Read: dailypioneer.com/news/12-years-…

On the occasion of World Oceans Day 2026, CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR–NIO), Goa in association with Ocean Society of India and Goa Forest Department, organized a Mangrove Walk and Cleanup Activity at the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary mangrove area, Chorao, Goa.

My Article in “The Statesman”, to mark the 2-day #LavenderFestival being held in #Bhaderwah on 6th and 7th of June. Read: thestatesman.com/opinion/purple…

#LavenderFestival2026 #Bhaderwah: Exhibition organised by #CSIR-IIIM, on the theme "Lavender Goes Global", depicts a success story that has become a national model for agri-entrepreneurship, inspiring farmers and #StartUps across the country. Boosted by PM Sh @narendramodi's mention in “Mann Ki Baat”, Rashtriya Vigyan Puruskar by President of India and a slot in Republic Day tableau, the #PurpleRevolution continues to create new opportunities for rural youth and farmers. Accompanying were son of the soil BCCI President Mithun Manhas, MLAs Sh Dalip Singh Parihar and Sh Shakti Raj Parihar, DG Dr Kalaiselvi, Director Dr Zaheer Ahmed and others.

Inaugurated and addressed #LavenderFestival2026 #Bhaderwah:  Takeaways "Lavender has given the small town of Bhaderwah a national identity and a national role in India's economic growth. What was once considered a remote hill town has today emerged as a beacon of India's 'Rural #StartUp' movement. The two-day festival with the theme “Lavender Goes Global” celebrates the remarkable transformation of Bhaderwah from a traditional agrarian region into India's leading lavender cultivation and aroma entrepreneurship hub. This is indeed one of the best examples of technology-led rural transformation in the country. The Purple Revolution has demonstrated how scientific research can be translated into sustainable livelihoods and entrepreneurship in remote mountainous regions. What began as a modest initiative in #JammuAndKashmir has now expanded to several parts of the country, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh and other North-Eastern states, demonstrating the scalability and adaptability of the model".

#Germany State of Thuringia President Mr Mario Voigt, accompanied by a high-level delegation, called on at Kartvaya Bhawan, New Delhi. The meeting brought together representatives from government, research institutions and industry from both sides to identify pathways for connecting innovation ecosystems and accelerating collaboration in frontier technologies. Discussions centred around quantum communication, quantum satellite communication, optical ground stations, EuroOGS network, Space technologies, StartUps and research-industry collaboration.  The German side shared details of ongoing European initiatives relating to quantum communication infrastructure and optical communication systems, including developments under the EuroOGS network, which seeks to advance standardisation and interoperability in optical ground station technologies. The Indian side highlighted the major recent initiatives undertaken under the leadership of PM @NarendraModi to strengthen India's research and innovation ecosystem, which include "Anusandhan National Research Foundation" (ANRF) and other measures aimed at promoting industry-linked research. Recognising the State of Thuringia's emergence as a major European hub for photonics, optics, quantum technologies and advanced manufacturing, both sides explored opportunities for long-term institutional partnerships in frontier technologies.

12 Glorious Years of precision forecasting and disaster preparedness, led by #IMD and #EarthSciences! India’s weather forecasting and ocean observation capabilities — tripling Doppler Weather Radars, expanding Automatic Weather Stations, SkyCast fog monitoring for Aircrafts, boosting AI integrated computing power 19 times, and much more. And to top it all, “Mission Mausam” launched by PM @narendramodi. #12YearsOfModiGovernment
