Honouring a Legacy of Innovation ! In 1964, IMD launched its first ozone sonde, marking a major step in understanding our atmosphere. These instruments, carried by weather balloons, help track ozone levels high above the Earth protecting life by monitoring the very layer that shields us from harmful UV radiation. From the troposphere to the exosphere, every layer tells a story and science helps us read it. #DidYouKnow #IMD #OzoneLayer #AtmosphericScience #WeatherScience @PMOIndia @moesgoi @Ravi_MoES @DrJitendraSingh @ndmaindia @airnewsalerts @DDNewslive @PIB_India @mygovindia

Evaluated in detail with the Chairman of "Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre" #IN-SPACe, Dr Pawan Goenka, the progress made in India’s Space programmes, since the opening up of the #Space related activities and projects to the private sector, five years ago. Gratifying to note that over USD 600 million private investment has been made in the Space sector over the last five years. The number of #StartUps in the Space sector has increased from single digit to over 400. These StartUps are active across launch vehicles, satellite and payload manufacturing, ground infrastructure, data services, and emerging in-orbit segments. Increasing global interest is also reflected in rising engagements with international clients, including established Space-faring nations. To support this momentum, a range of focused initiatives have been rolled out. A ₹1,000 crore venture capital fund is being operationalised with SIDBI to support growth-stage StartUps, while a ₹500 crore Technology Adoption Fund is enabling the transition of early-stage innovations into commercially viable products. The seed fund scheme is providing grants of up to ₹1 crore to StartUps at the ideation and prototype stage, along with mentoring and ecosystem support. The immediate plan is to set up Space laboratories in Universities and Colleges across India, with seven such labs to be established in the first phase to provide hands-on exposure to students in satellite systems, rocketry and mission design. The initiative is aimed at building a strong force of skilled youth for India’s expanding Space sector. Meanwhile, India’s global engagement in the Space sector continues to deepen, with partnerships now spanning over 45 countries. Recent collaborations include agreements with Singapore and the UAE, participation of Indian companies in international space forums, and initiatives to connect domestic startups with global markets.

Maximum Temperatures (as on 26-04-2026): Maximum temperatures are in the range of 40-46℃ over most parts of the country except western Himalayan region, northeast Bihar, northeast India, where they are below 36℃. The highest maximum temperature of 46.9°C was reported at #Akola (VIDARBHA).
