India's defence capabilities advanced remarkably, says former DRDO chairman G. Satheesh Reddy
The country's defence capabilities have advanced remarkably through indigenous efforts. India showed the world its capabilities through drone technology, radar systems, anti-drone weapons, or missile systems like Akash and BrahMos, former DRDO chairman G. Satheesh Reddy said on Friday. 'Our pinpoint accuracy and technological prowess during recent operations have amazed the global defence community. Today, countries are queuing up to procure Indian-made defence systems,' he said, adding that the country exported defence equipment worth ₹24,000 crore and the aim is to double it in a couple of years. Mr. Reddy, who is currently Honorary Advisor (Aerospace & Defence) in Andhra Pradesh government, was addressing the convocation ceremony of SR University, Hasanparthy in Hanamkonda district. He said young innovators should drive AI-based technologies, as the country continues to emerge as a global leader in defence, technology, and research. Mr. Reddy noted that the country is in a transformative phase with the landscape of education evolving rapidly. 'We now have premier institutions like IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, and IISERs across all States. More than 4.38 crore students are enrolled in higher education, more than the population of many nations. Among them, we produce over 1.4 million engineers every year,' he noted. India now ranks third globally in both annual publications and PhD output. In fields like quantum technology, we are sixth, and number one in AI conference citations — this showcases the country's growing technological momentum and intellectual strength, he said. The university's conferred honorary doctorate on Oscar-winning music composer M.M. Keeravani, recognising his contribution to Telugu cinema.

Centre plans speeding up MMDR amendments to boost critical mineral availability
India is expediting steps to boost domestic availability of critical minerals. Changes to the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act are being fast-tracked. The move comes close on the heels of China putting curbs on supplies of permanent magnets derived out of rare earth elements (REEs). Besides regulatory tweaks, the centre is also expecting commercially viable domestic production of rare earth permanent magnets in small quantities later this year. Addressing a gathering of industry professionals and academicians during the critical minerals processing seminar, Union Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy said, 'The demand for critical minerals will increase four to six times by 2040. Global supply chains are concentrated in a few countries.' Referring to the ongoing concerns regarding supplies of Rare Earth magnets from China, Reddy said, 'Geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, and increasing trend of resource nationalism can cause supply chain disruptions. India is currently almost 100% import dependent for critical minerals. We see this as a major challenge.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now The Minister said India recognises the pivotal role of these minerals in driving economic growth. Commenting on the way ahead, Mines Secretary, V L Kantha Rao said tweaks are underway to support domestic critical mineral ecosystems. 'We are planning to amend the (MMDR) act to support the critical mineral mission,' he said. Live Events Rao also said Indian research institutions have found solutions for producing rare earth magnets. 'This has enabled one of the companies in India to produce rare earth magnets in the next three-four months,' he said. The secretary was referring to government sanctioned funding for Midwest Advanced Materials Private Limited (MAM), Hyderabad. The Nonferrous Materials Technology Development Centre (NFTDC), a research and development (R&D) institution under the Mines Ministry , has also transferred advanced technology to MAM. These supports have paved the way for commercial production of Neodymium (NdFeB) materials and Rare Earth Permanent Magnets. Neodymium permanent magnets are vital for propulsion systems in electric vehicles and generators in renewable energy infrastructure.

Indiramma houses in G+3 buildings for poor in 16 slums across Hyderabad: Telangana Revenue Minister
Telangana government would construct Indiramma houses in ground-plus-three-storey buildings for the poor in 16 slums across Hyderabad. Similar course of action is being formulated for other districts. People were unwilling to shift to houses constructed on the outskirts of the State capital as they would lose livelihood. Considering this, a decision was taken to construct houses in the localities, said Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy. Besides Hyderabad, it would be implemented in Warangal, Nizamabad, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Karimnagar and other urban localities. Though 42,000 houses were constructed away from Hyderabad, only 19,000 chose to occupy them. Recent field level inspection revealed that only 13,000 are living there, said Mr. Reddy at a review meeting on the Indiramma Houses held on Friday (June 6, 2025). The focus of providing the houses shifted ti the poor in the urban localities after the scheme was streamlined in rural Telangana. Around 10.71 lakh applications for the houses were received from 150 divisions in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). It was learnt that around seven lakh were found to be eligible for the houses.
