Mission Drishti by GalaxEye marks a major achievement in our space journey. The successful launch of the world’s first OptoSAR satellite and the largest privately-built satellite in India is a testament to our youth’s passion for innovation and nation-building. Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to the founders and the entire team of GalaxEye. @GalaxEye

Director, @MoesNiot reviewed the #DeepOceanMission projects under Vertical 5 for technical progress and visited the laboratory to witness the Blue Energy pilot scale demonstrations at Department of Civil Engineering, @iitbombay . @DrJitendraSingh @BalajiR_IITB @moesgoi @CentreCoastal @incoismoes @ncaor_goa @ncmrwfmoes @iitmpune @cmlre_kochi

“Drishti” is the world’s first OptoSAR satellite. Developed by the Indian startup, this 190-kg satellite combines optical sensors (EO) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to deliver high-resolution, all-weather, day-and-night imaging. It enables comprehensive data for defence, agriculture, and infrastructure.

Such wonders happen when “Public Private Participation” shines even in Space! Couldn’t have been possible if PM @narendramodi had not allowed the unlocking of Space to the Private sector five years ago. Mission Drishti by @GalaxEye marks a significant milestone in India’s space journey. The successful launch of the world’s first OptoSAR satellite, and the largest privately-built satellite in the country, reflects the immense potential of our young innovators driving nation-building. Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to the founders and the entire team for this remarkable achievement.

The New Indian Express: No cause for panic: Jitendra Singh reassures public as cities report record-high temperatures. Read:newindianexpress.com/nation/2026/Ma…

Lightning can strike suddenly, but simple precautions can help keep everyone safe. Follow the ABC of Lightning Safety: Act fast when lightning is seen, Be indoors in a safe shelter, and Continue waiting for 30 minutes after the last thunderclap before stepping outside. Stay aware, stay protected, and make safety your priority during severe weather conditions. ⚡ #MoES #Alert @narendramodi @mygovindia @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh @OfficeOfDrJS @PIBEarthScience @PIB_India @MIB_India @Ravi_MoES

On the #56thFoundationDay of @IndiaDST, Secretary Prof. @karandi65 reflects on the Department’s evolving journey & transformation over the past decade under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri @NarendraModi. By catalysing private sector investment in R&D, India is building a stronger, innovation-led ecosystem. This approach is opening new avenues for employment and entrepreneurship, while advancing the vision of an #AtmanirbharBharat. #DSTFoundationDay #56YearsOfDST @DrJitendraSingh @Dhana_Arumugam1 @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi @mygovindia @PIB_India

Congratulations to Dr. R. Balasubramaniam and Dr. Joram Aniya on their appointment as full-time Members of NITI Aayog. Wishing them every success in contributing to India’s policy vision and nation-building under the guidance of PM Sh @NarendraModi, who is the Chairperson of NITI Aayog.

#IMD: "This is to reassure the common public that there is no cause for panic over Weather Forecasts regarding the heat conditions predicted or expected during the month of May, and any unwarranted reaction can be avoided by understanding the forecast correctly and by following simple day-to-day precautions.  While certain regions may witness above-normal temperatures and heat wave conditions, these are not uniform across the country and can be effectively managed through timely preparedness and adherence to advisories issued, from time to time, by the "India Meteorological Department" (IMD). As per the latest monthly outlook and extended-range forecast issued by the IMD, above-normal maximum temperatures are likely over southern peninsular India, parts of the northeast and northwest India, while a large part of the country is expected to experience normal to below-normal temperatures during the month. Minimum temperatures in several regions are also likely to remain above normal. Authorities are fully prepared to deal with heat-related conditions and coordinated efforts are being undertaken at the State and district levels to ensure availability of drinking water, functional cooling arrangements and uninterrupted power supply. Special attention is being given to vulnerable groups including infants, the elderly and outdoor workers. With regard to agriculture, prevailing conditions remain generally favourable for harvesting of late Rabi crops in northern and northwestern regions. However, farmers have been advised to carry out field operations during morning and evening hours, ensure light and frequent irrigation, and take protective measures for livestock. Please note that updated weather information is available on IMD’s official website (mausam.imd.gov.in), mobile applications including Mausam App, Mausamgram portal, and through various media platforms". #MoES

A major leap for India’s weather forecasting—an advanced X-band dual-polarization Doppler Weather Radar has been commissioned in Mahabaleshwar by @iitmpune under @moesgoi. Acting as a “weather eye in the sky,” it will enable real-time tracking of storms, rainfall, and cloud patterns. The system will significantly strengthen nowcasting, improve early warnings for floods and landslides, and enhance weather monitoring across Maharashtra’s vulnerable and high-impact regions. #MoES #IITM #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">punekarnews.in/mahabaleshwar-… @narendramodi @mygovindia @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh @OfficeOfDrJS @Ravi_MoES @PIBEarthScience @PIB_India @MIB_India
