At the BRICS Summit in Brazil, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to secure a major diplomatic win with strong anti-terror language in the BRICS declaration for the first time in years. This comes weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir, where 26 people lost their lives. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has already set the tone at the UN with a powerful exhibition titled 'The Human Cost of Terrorism', directly calling out state-sponsored terrorism, a veiled reference to Pakistan. The message is clear: India is done with silence and diplomacy without accountability. BRICS, often seen as divided on terror, may finally echo India's zero-tolerance approach. With China and Russia skipping the summit, Modi's presence at BRICS 2025 marks a turning point in reclaiming the anti-terror narrative in global multilateral platforms.#bricssummit #pmmodi #jaishankar #pahalgamterrorattack #terrorism #indiafightsterror #modibrics #jaishankarunspeech #terrorismdebate #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Union Cabinet nod to Rs 1 lakh crore RDI scheme to boost innovation ecosystem
New Delhi, July 1 (UNI) With an aim to accelerate India's research and innovation capabilities, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today approved the Research Development and Innovation (RDI) Scheme with a funding corpus of Rs 1 lakh crore. Addressing the media here post-Cabinet meeting, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, emphasised the scheme's role in fostering long-term financing at low or no interest rates, thereby stimulating private sector investment in research and development (R&D). The focus, he noted, is on overcoming the constraints currently faced by the private sector in driving technological advancements, especially in sunrise sectors and strategic areas such as deep-tech and emerging technologies, as well as critical sectors vital for India's economic security and self-reliance. 'The overarching objective is to scale up R&D and innovation, especially in sectors that hold transformative potential for the nation's technological sovereignty and global competitiveness,' said a government statement here. The Cabinet also approved the establishment of a deep-tech Fund of Funds (FoF) which will focus on supporting high-risk, high-reward innovations in deep-tech sectors such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology. The scheme envisions financing projects at higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), enabling the commercialization of research in these critical areas. The RDI scheme will operate through a two-tiered funding structure. The first level involves the creation of a Special Purpose Fund (SPF) within the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), which will serve as the custodian of the funds. From here, capital will be allocated to second-level fund managers who will oversee investments in various R&D projects, the statement added. The funding will primarily take the form of long-term concessional loans, although equity financing may be extended, particularly to startups with promising technologies. The DST (Department of Science and Technology) will act as the nodal department for the scheme's implementation, with the Governing Board of ANRF providing strategic guidance. Also, an Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGoS) will oversee the approval of projects, funds, and sectoral allocations, ensuring that the scheme is aligned with India's long-term strategic and technological goals, said the statement.
