Gujarat girl selected among 20 students nationwide for satellite technology mission
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Oct 15 (IANS) A Class 11 student from Gujarats Mahisagar district has been selected among 20 students from across India for 'Mission ShaktiSAT', a space science initiative that has provided her with practical training in satellite coding, design and assembly. Vipa Bariya, who hails from Padhara village in Kadana taluka, is the only female student selected from Gujarat for the mission. She studies in the Science stream at Eklavya Model Residential School in Vejalpur, near Godhra, and aspires to become a pilot or an astronaut. Organised by Space Kidz India, Mission ShaktiSAT brought together around 12,000 female students from 108 countries. As part of the programme, Vipa attended a 10-day international workshop at Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, from August 22 to 31, where she received hands-on training in satellite coding, design and assembly alongside participants from other countries. She was also presented with a special award and trophy at the event. I have been interested in space science and satellite technology since childhood. Being selected for Mission ShaktiSAT and getting the opportunity to visit ISRO feels like a dream come true, Vipa said. During the first phase of the competition, she completed all 21 modules, comprising 550 lessons, within the stipulated time with guidance from her schoolteachers. Vipa is scheduled to participate in a space technology event organised by Viasat in New Delhi from October 26 to 28. She may also get an opportunity to visit the Indian Space Research Organisations space centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh after the satellite launch date is finalised. According to Vipa, the mission involves two satellites, one intended to land on the Moons surface and the other to orbit the Moon. Her interest in space science has been encouraged by her father, Gulabbhai Bariya, who teaches Mathematics and Environmental Studies to students of Classes 3 to 5 at a primary school. Her schoolteacher and mentor, Deepika Sharma, has also guided her in developing her skills and pursuing her ambitions. Vipas selection comes as residential schools for tribal students seek to expand access to science and technology education and opportunities in specialised fields. Eklavya Model Residential Schools provide education to students from tribal communities, including those in remote areas. The Gujarat government said the initiative was part of efforts to improve educational opportunities for tribal children in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Tribal Development Minister Naresh Patel, the states Tribal Development Department is implementing schemes aimed at improving the quality of education and access to modern learning facilities. For Vipa, the programme has offered an opportunity to pursue her longstanding interest in space technology beyond the classroom, with further participation in space-related activities expected in the coming weeks.
Shuttering collapses from 7th floor of construction site amid strong winds; 14 cars crushed in Noida
IMD issues orange alert as heavy rain lashes parts of Delhi-NCR; more showers likely on Friday
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) Heavy rain and thunderstorms swept parts of Delhi-NCR on Thursday as dark clouds covered the national Capital, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue an orange alert warning of further showers, lightning and gusty winds. The weather department has forecast thunderstorms and rain in Delhi on Friday, October 16, indicating that the wet spell may continue for another day. The IMD had warned of moderate to intense rainfall in parts of north and northwest Delhi, accompanied by winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kmph and gusts of up to 60 kmph. Other parts of the capital are also likely to receive lighter showers and thunderstorms. The orange alert came amid a sudden change in weather conditions, bringing relief from the recent spell of warm days. The IMD forecast cloudy skies and moderate rainfall throughout the day. The maximum temperature is expected to remain around 29 degrees Celsius, lower than the levels recorded earlier this week. The rainfall is associated with a western disturbance, a weather system that moves eastwards from regions west of India and can trigger rain and thunderstorms across northern parts of the country. Further showers could affect Delhi and neighbouring areas, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. However, the intensity and distribution of rainfall may vary across the region. According to the IMD's forecast, weather conditions are likely to become drier from Saturday, October 17. Delhi is expected to witness partly cloudy skies, with the maximum temperature rising to around 32 degrees Celsius. The weather is likely to turn mainly clear on Sunday, October 18, with daytime temperatures expected to increase further. Meanwhile, rain, lightning and gusty winds could disrupt traffic and outdoor activities, particularly in areas receiving heavier showers. Waterlogging on roads may also slow down commuters during peak hours. The rainfall could temporarily wash some dust out of the air. However, any improvement in Delhi's air quality will depend on the intensity of the showers and subsequent wind conditions.

Indias manufacturing sector undergoes structural change under BHAVYA scheme
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS) India's manufacturing sector is undergoing a structural change under the Rs 33,660 crore Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna (BHAVYA) initiative to develop 100 plug-and-play industrial parks across the country. The manufacturing sector now contributes about 1617 per cent of GDP and employs over 27 million workers. The National Manufacturing Mission aims to raise this share to 25 per cent by 2035, according to a factsheet issued by the government on Wednesday. The composition of industries is also changing, with medium and high-technology industries accounting for 46.3 per cent of manufacturing value addition. This reflects a shift towards higher-value and technology-intensive manufacturing, the factsheet states. As industries grow, they need reliable infrastructure, efficient logistics, and predictable approvals. Global supply chains are also diversifying, making well-connected industrial locations more important. Plug-and-play parks bring these requirements together by providing essential infrastructure and common facilities before industries begin operations. This reduces the time and cost involved in setting up new manufacturing units, said the factsheet. To expand this approach nationwide, the BHAVYA scheme, approved by the Cabinet in March 2026, is being implemented in partnership with States and private developers. The scheme emphasises increasing manufacturing capacity in the country and ease of doing business through streamlined approvals, effective single-window systems, and investor-friendly reforms. The plug-and-play industrial ecosystems will reduce entry-level barriers and help industries move from investment to production quickly. The scheme aims to attract investment, support MSMEs, strengthen supply chains, create jobs, and drive industrial growth across regions. India's approach to manufacturing growth has evolved over time. Each phase has expanded the country's capacity to support industry and create new economic opportunities, the factsheet explains. The first phase focused on industrial estates and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and provided industrial land, common infrastructure, and regulatory incentives. As of February 2026, India had 370 notified SEZs. These zones attracted investments worth Rs 7.82 lakh crore and generated employment for over 31.7 lakh people. The approach then expanded from individual industrial zones to larger manufacturing hubs across the country. As of October 14, 2026, 4,164 industrial parks have been mapped on the India Industrial Land Bank (IILB). At the same time, the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme (NICDP) moved beyond providing industrial land. It combined manufacturing zones with utilities, logistics, and urban services, creating more integrated industrial locations. Industrial nodes such as Dholera Special Investment Region (Gujarat), Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Area (Maharashtra), Vikram Udyogpuri (Madhya Pradesh), and Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) demonstrated the advantages of integrated planning. BHAVYA provides financial assistance of up to Rs 1 crore per acre for developing industrial parks. The scheme covers essential components such as internal roads, power supply, water networks, drainage systems, common effluent treatment facilities, value-added infrastructure, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-enabled administration. The scheme supports up to 25 per cent of approved funding to be allocated for external infrastructure such as road, rail, and last-mile logistics connectivity, ensuring seamless integration with the wider transport network. The scheme will be implemented over six years, from FY202627 to FY 203132. In the first phase, up to 50 industrial parks will be selected through a challenge mode across two selection rounds. The remaining parks will be selected in subsequent phases, taking the total number of parks supported under BHAVYA to 100. Each park will span 25 to 1,000 acres depending upon mandatory criteria of land sizes as per the Scheme guidelines.
