Multifaceted Kaveri Kapur is known for being open about every aspect of her life with her InstaFam. The 'Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story' actress talked about her health struggles and how she overcame heavy metal poisoning and PCOS. Kaveri even used social media to drop glimpses of her recovery journey. Taking to her Instagram, she dropped a video of herself perfecting box jumps during a workout session, along with the caption, 'Finally getting my groove back after PCOS (and URANIUM poisoning and anemia and hypothyroidism) zapping all of my energy.' Kaveri revealed that heavy medication ended up taking a toll on her skin as well. Posting before and after pictures, she talked about her struggle to get her skin back to normal after a lot of trial and error. Shedding light on her health struggles, Kaveri stated, 'I was really unwell for a while. I had heavy metal poisoning. Not just uranium, but lead and copper too, along with anemia, PCOS, and serious hormonal imbalances.' She added that a lot of her health issues came from psychiatric medication that she should not have been prescribed. Kaveri admitted to having undergone intensive testing in Delhi, which was followed by a rigorous course of nearly 19 daily supplements and medications. 'It was rough.

India to tie up with France for next-gen fighter jet engines?
New Delhi: The Ministry of Defence has reportedly proposed development of next-generation fighter jet engines in collaboration with France. The aim of the project is towards self-reliance in design and manufacturing of such technologies in India. All fighter aircraft in India's fleet currently operate with engines of foreign origin. A substantial portion of fighter aircraft costs is attributed to engine procurement and maintenance. Conservative projections indicate India's requirement for more than 250 next-generation engines within the next decade. According to reports, following extensive consultations including stakeholder inputs and assessments by a technical committee of all aspects of fighter jet engine production, the defence ministry has recommended the tie-up with France. The proposal was found to be advantageous for Indian interests. The Rs 61,000 crore initiative aims to jointly create a 120kn fighter jet engine for future platforms, including the advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA). The project has received substantial support from Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who champions indigenous fighter engine development and establishing a domestic manufacturing ecosystem. For this project officials have assessed proposals from both Safran of France and Rolls Royce of the UK, looking closely at technical specifications and financial implications. The French bid, offering complete technology transfer, has been presented in the past as well, with Safran outlining a development schedule aligned with AMCA's timeline. Currently, AMCA will likely utilise US-manufactured GE 414 engines, whilst development of a domestic plant continues. The engine is a very crucial component of fighter aircraft technology, and its manufacturing has been mastered by only a select group of countries globally. Although India attempted indigenous engine development through project Kaveri, it did not achieve the required thrust parameters. A variant of the Kaveri is currently under development for unmanned combat aerial vehicles, the financial daily report said. Meanwhile, India is negotiating with the US regarding technology transfer for the GE414 INS6 engine, intended for the Mk2 variant of light combat aircraft. The ongoing discussions seek more than 80% technology transfer, encompassing hot-end coating technologies, crystal blade manufacturing, and laser drilling capabilities.

US will not be able to betray India anymore, masterstroke by Modi govt, India to work with this country to make next generation fighter jets, not US, Russia, UK, it is….
New Delhi: The Ministry of Defense has recommended working with France in India to make the engines of the next generation fighter aircraft as part of a very big project that will bring modern technology to India and the country will become self-reliant. A committee of technical experts also considered all aspects of making the engine of the fighter aircraft. After this it was decided that working together with France would be more beneficial for India. In this project worth Rs 61,000 crore, India and France will together make a 120 kilonewton (kN) fighter jet engine. Which companies were considered? According to the plan, these fighter jet engines will be used in future fighter aircraft, including Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA). The Defense Ministry had sought proposals from French company Safran and Britain's Rolls Royce. Experts closely considered the technical aspects and cost of these proposals. France has said that it will provide the entire technology. Safran has also said that it can make engines for the AMCA by keeping pace with the times. What is the number of engines required? The current situation is that the first batch of AMCA may have to be fitted with GE 414 engines made in the USA. But, along with this, efforts to make engines in India will continue. There are very few countries in the world that have mastered this technology. It is estimated that India will need more than 250 next generation engines in the next 10 years. Which country is supplying fighter jet engines to India? Right now, all fighter aircraft in India have foreign engines. Because of this, a large part of the cost of the aircraft is spent on the engine and its maintenance. India had earlier tried to make its own engine named 'Kaveri' but it was not successful because the engine did not have sufficient power. Now a new version of the Kaveri engine is being made, which will be used in pilotless aircraft. India is also talking to America to get the technology of GE 414 INS6 engine. This engine will be used in light fighter aircraft Mk2. The talks are not yet complete. India wants to get more than 80% of the technology, which includes technology for coating the hot part of the engine, crystal blades and laser drilling technology.
