Indian industry had a barely three per cent share in a rapidly growing global space economy which was already worth at least $360 billion. Only two per cent of this market was for rocket and satellite launch services, which require fairly large infrastructure and heavy investment. The remaining 95 per cent related to satellite-based services, and ground-based systems. Indian industry, however, is unable to compete, because till now its role has been mainly that of suppliers of components and sub-systems. Indian industries do not have the resources or the technology to undertake independent space projects of the kind that US companies such as SpaceX have been doing, or provide space-based services. Additionally, the demand for space-based applications and services is growing even within India, and ISRO is unable to cater to this. The need for satellite data, imageries and space technology now cuts across sectors, from weather to agriculture to transport to urban development, and more.

There is a clear shift in Chinese foreign policy post the COVID19 outbreak.
Decline in the country’s smart power
The strategic trap
Can online learning replace the school classroom?
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted the academic year, cancelled classes and examinations across the country. To ensure that students do not miss out on their studies, schools moved classes online, forcing students to attend lectures via their gadgets. However, this has also sparked a debate on whether the increased amount of screen time helps students learn or if it impedes their progress.
Objections against online Education
Arguments in support
measure which will need to be taken once the schools open?
Industry flags delay in China imports
In response to the Indo-China Border dispute, the Government has come up with a number of strategies to boycott Chinese Goods and promote domestic manufacturing. Some of these strategies include- Vocal for Local Campaign, Increasing the tariffs on Chinese Goods, making it mandatory for the sellers to mention the country of origin on Government e-Marketplace (GeM) etc.
India reiterates cultural linkages with Nepal
Ruling Nepal Communist Party decided to support amendments to the citizenship rules that will require foreign-born women marrying Nepalese men to spend at least seven years before getting citizenship. The move is likely to affect a large number of families that have cross-border kinship with India. People of India and Nepal share deep-rooted and familial bonds which reflect close civilizational and cultural linkages
