An opportunity to do research in a @DRDO_India laboratory

10 years of #UPI is more than a milestone - it’s a movement powered by #India’s digital vision. From street vendors to startups, instant and seamless payments have become a way of life - building #trust, expanding #access, and bringing millions into the formal #economy. #ATMs feel distant, #passwords forgotten - convenience has redefined #habits. A powerful reminder that #Science, #Technology and #Innovation can truly transform lives, especially for those still waiting to be reached.

Launched on May 4, 1989 aboard STS-30, #NASA’s Magellan mission transformed our understanding of #Venus - mapping 98% of its surface using #radar and revealing a dynamic, volcanic world hidden beneath dense clouds. As the first interplanetary probe deployed from a Space Shuttle, #Magellan marked a bold leap in space exploration. Its journey concluded in 1994 with a planned descent into Venus, turning even its final moments into valuable scientific #discovery. The mission remains a powerful example of human ingenuity - showing how #innovation can push the boundaries of #exploration and transform distant, unseen worlds into #knowledge that #inspires generations.

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय तेंदुआ दिवस 2026 (#InternationalLeopardDay) अंतर्राष्ट्रीय तेंदुआ दिवस हर साल 3 मई को मनाया जाता है. इस दिन को मनाने का मुख्य उद्देश्य तेंदुओं के संरक्षण और उनकी घटती संख्या के प्रति वैश्विक जागरूकता बढ़ाना है। तेंदुए अपनी फुर्ती, ताकत और पेड़ों पर चढ़ने की अद्भुत क्षमता के लिए जाने जाते हैं। यह दिवस हमें याद दिलाता है कि तेंदुए हमारे पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र (Ecosystem) का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हैं। वर्तमान में तेंदुओं को अवैध शिकार और उनके प्राकृतिक आवास के नष्ट होने का बड़ा खतरा है। तेंदुए की कई प्रजातियाँ, जैसे अमूर तेंदुआ, लुप्तप्राय होने की कगार पर हैं, जिनका संरक्षण अत्यंत आवश्यक है। यह दिन वन्यजीव प्रेमियों और सरकारों को एकजुट होकर इनके शिकार के खिलाफ सख्त कदम उठाने के लिए प्रेरित करता है। तेंदुओं और इंसानों के बीच बढ़ते संघर्ष को कम करने के लिए समुदायों को शिक्षित करना भी इस दिन का एक बड़ा लक्ष्य है। @moefcc @MIB_India @airnewsalerts

On #InternationalLeopardDay, we celebrate one of nature’s most elusive and resilient big cats. Leopards play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. Let’s pledge to protect their habitats and ensure they continue to thrive.

What if journalism could prevent conflict? When information breaks down: trust collapses, rumours spread, conflict follows. Yet supporting journalism costs far less than war. 15 days of global military spending = 1 year of funding for public-interest journalism.

May’s night sky is a cosmic invitation! A rare blend of a #bluemoon, #planetary alignments, peak #meteor activity, and a stunning view of the #MilkyWay core turns this month into one of the year’s most rewarding windows for #stargazing. Step outside, look up, and reconnect with the universe - wonder awaits!

200 curious young minds. 2 nights, 3 days. 1 powerful question - How to become a scientist? Across four Regional Science Centres - #Bhavnagar, #Bhuj, #Patan and #Rajkot, the Summer Science Camp sparked #curiosity, #creativity and #confidence. The excitement of #children and pride of #parents say it all - this is more than a camp, it’s a beginning. A turning point for many. A stepping stone for future scientists. Towards #ViksitGujarat and #ViksitBharat! @MissionLiFE_ @InfoGujarat @ccdgujgov @MyGov_Gujarat @mygovindia

A defining leap for India’s space sector! On 3 May 2026, 12:29 PM IST, Bengaluru-based #GalaxEye launched #MissionDrishti, a ~190 kg satellite, aboard #Falcon9 from #VandenbergSpaceForceBase. Drishti is the world’s first #OptoSAR satellite - fusing optical + SAR imaging to deliver high-resolution Earth observation day and night, through #clouds, in all #weather. Impact: From border and maritime security to disaster response and real-time geospatial intelligence, it strengthens #India’s strategic autonomy and technological edge. From #startup innovation to space leadership - India is not just reaching orbit, it is redefining how we see and safeguard our world.

Journalism shapes peace. Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies. When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust. When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace. unesco.org/en/days/press-…

Heartiest congratulations to the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, on its 56th Foundation Day!

Today, we salute the courage of #journalists who stand firm for truth, uphold integrity, and amplify voices that might otherwise remain unheard. A free press is more than a pillar of democracy - it is its vigilant conscience, guiding society with truth and accountability. Let us reaffirm our commitment to protect and uphold the freedom to #inform, #investigate, and #inspire - because informed societies build stronger futures.

Attacks on journalists are attacks on freedom of expression. More than ever, we need reliable sources of information and press freedom. On Sunday's #WorldPressFreedomDay and every day, join @UNESCO in defending journalism and standing up for democracy. unesco.org/en/days/press-…

On 3rd May, we celebrate the birthday of #StevenWeinberg - a visionary who transformed our understanding of the #universe. A #NobelLaureate in #Physics, he illuminated nature’s hidden unity through the electroweak theory, revealing the profound harmony underlying the cosmos. By uniting #electromagnetism and the #weakforce into a single elegant framework, his work stands as a cornerstone of modern physics. May his legacy inspire us to pursue unity in #knowledge, ask fearless #questions, and explore the unknown with #curiosity, #courage, and #wonder.

Plants don’t speak in words - but they are far from silent. On this day, 2nd May 2018, a remarkable study published in PLOS ONE revealed that #plants communicate through their #roots and the #living network of #soil beneath them. This hidden dialogue - subtle, intelligent, and deeply interconnected, reshapes how we understand #nature. It shows us that even in #stillness, life is constantly #sharing, warning, #supporting, and #adapting. Beneath our feet lies a silent conversation - one that reminds us: #connection is the true #language of #life.
