'Couldn't Stop Smiling...': Sooryavanshi Shares First Emotional Reaction On Receiving India Jersey
New Delhi: Teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi reflected on earning his maiden call-up to the senior team and opened about the emotional moment he got his hands on his India jersey, describing it as the ultimate fulfilment of why he first picked up a cricket bat. At the age of 15 years and 71 days, Sooryavanshi earned his maiden call-up to the India T20 squad for the upcoming tours of Ireland and England and the Asian Games 2026, becoming the youngest player to be picked for India, breaking Sachin Tendulkars 36-year record. Tendulkar made his India debut in 1989 against Pakistan at the age of 16 years and 205 days, making him the youngest Indian player ever to feature in a senior international cricket match. If Sooryavanshi features during the tour, he will also become the youngest player to debut for India in mens international cricket. Words cannot explain it. The reason I picked up the bat from day one and went to the ground for practice: that dream is fulfilled now. The biggest step in that journey was completed today. I truly cannot put this feeling into words. I felt like a dream when I saw that T-shirt; I couldn't stop smiling. Sometimes things happen that you never imagined could happen. When it finally does, you don't know how to react. That was exactly how I felt, the teenage prodigy said in a video shared by BCCI with a caption, Ladies & Gentlemen, the moment the nation has been waiting for has arrived!

The Choke Point Inside The Drone
When the supplier sits across the table, is a fleet you cannot build without it, a capability India owns, or one Beijing lends? TECHNOLOGY & NATIONAL SECURITY In August 2024, an Indian Army drone slipped its leash. A fixed-wing aircraft lost contact with its operators along the Line of Control near Rajouri, the sort of failure that reads as routine until you ask what the machine was carrying and where its parts were made. In the same stretch of months, the Army quietly cancelled around 230 crore of drone contracts meant for the heights of Ladakh. Investigators had found Chinese-origin electronics inside platforms sold as Made in India. The order, and the doctrine behind it The numbers are real even if the contract is not yet signed. The Drone Federation India, an industry body that works closely with the government, told Reuters that the next phase of tactical drone procurement could exceed 200 billion, more than two billion dollars, with deliveries expected over eighteen to twenty-four months. That would dwarf recent orders worth around 30 billion. The government has spent two years clearing the runway, through emergency procurement powers, faster acquisition, a cut in the goods and services tax on drones to five per cent, and a plan to embed thousands of unmanned systems in every Army corps. This is the second-order problem folded inside a reasonable policy. The harder India pushes mass production, the more of these parts it must import, because scaling assembly scales the bill of materials beneath it. Self-reliance counted at the airframe quietly deepens dependence at the magnet. The framework carries an admission worth pausing on. It accepts that foolproof traceability of these components is not feasible, given re-routing and forged paperwork, and then asks laboratories to certify them regardless. A drone whose lineage you cannot verify is a drone you do not fully own. India is preparing to certify at scale the very thing it concedes it cannot fully trace. So India convenes a forum to manage technology-supply-chain risk and seats, as an honoured guest, the single largest source of that risk to its own arsenal. The remedy it is building moves slower than the threat. The 73 billion scheme the Cabinet cleared in November 2025 to make sintered rare-earth magnets at home aims at a few thousand tonnes of annual capacity over seven years, and independent analysts place any real break from Chinese magnets years away rather than months. Bottom Line A swarm is only as sovereign as its scarcest part. India can build the airframes and train the crews, and still discover that its rarest inputs, the magnets above all, decide what flies on the morning a war starts. Counting self-reliance at the airframe is a way of not looking at the magnet. The procurement is the easy decision. The hard one is what New Delhi will ground, and for how long, to stop depending on the country it spends this week hosting. When the supplier sits across the table, is a fleet you cannot build without it, a capability India owns, or one Beijing lends?

In a statement, the department said that both projects were conceptualized and initiated under the directions and continuous guidance of Mandeep Kaur, Commissioner Secretary, H&UDD, with the objective of transforming the public service delivery and enhancing the digital governance across the Urban Development sector. Her unwavering focus on innovation, transparency and technology-enabled governance has played a pivotal role in successful implementation of these initiatives, the statement reads. On behalf of H&UDD, Ankush Kapoor, Chief Informatics Officer and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), H&UDD, received the awards during the SKOCH Awards Ceremony held in New Delhi. The awards were conferred for the flagship projects including Automated Building Permission System (ABPS) using Auto DCR technology integrated with GIS-based Land Use and J&K Gati Shakti GIS Asset Mapping System for comprehensive GIS-based asset mapping, monitoring and infrastructure planning. The Automated Building Permission System has revolutionized the process of granting building permissions by introducing automated scrutiny of building plans through Auto DCR technology integrated with GIS-based land use verification. The system has significantly reduced the processing time, enhanced transparency, ensured compliance with planning regulations and improved ease of doing business for the citizens and stakeholders. The J&K Gati Shakti GIS Asset Mapping System has enabled digital mapping and monitoring of public infrastructure assets across Urban Local Bodies and government agencies. The platform supports evidence-based planning, inter-departmental coordination, efficient asset management and informed decision-making through advanced GIS technology. Both the initiatives have brought about a transformative change in public service delivery, government digital functioning, monitoring mechanisms and data-driven governance across Jammu and Kashmir. The Commissioner Secretary appreciated the efforts of the officers, technical teams, Urban Local Bodies and all stakeholders associated with the projects.
