DEPARTMENT OF OCEAN DEVELOPMENT

The Department of Ocean Development (DOD) was created in Jul, 1981. In 1982, the Government of

India issued the Ocean Policy Statement in which control, management and utilization of the internal resources available in the sea and development of appropriate technologies to harness these resources have been emphasized. From March 1982, the DOD has been functioning as a separate nodal department in line with the Ocean Policy Statement of 1982. The programmes pursued by the Department over the years have also kept pace with developments world over and addressed national needs and issues.

SPACE TECHNOLOGY OF INDIA Aryabhatta was the first satellite

launched by India. It was named after the great Indian astronomer of the same name. Aryabhatta weighed 360kg and was launched by the Soviet Union on April 19, 1975 from Kapustin Yar using a Cosmos-3M launch vehicle.

The satellite had following objectives:

To indigenously design and fabricate a space-worthy satellite system and evaluate its perfromance in orbit.

To evolve the methodology of conducting a series of complex operations on the satellite in its orbital phase.

To set up ground-based receiving, transmitting and tracking systems.

To establish infrastructure for the fabrication of spacecraft systems.

Aryabhatta carried experiments related to X-Ray Astronomy, Solar Physics and Aeronomy. The satellite re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on 11 February 1992.

INDIAN DEFENCE Indian defence force is the

third largest defence force in the world after USA and China. Indian armed forces defend the vast land, water and aerial borders of India and are renowned for their courage and valour. Indian defence forces have shown their in India as well as abroad. Indian armed forces have raised the country's honour in UN Peacekeeping Missions and have impressed everyone with their professionalism and discipline. Here are some interesting facts about Indian defence.

INDIA'S FIRST NUCLEAR REACTOR India's First Nuclear Reactor

was Apsara. It was also the first nuclear reactor in Asia. Apsara went critical at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Trombay on August 4, 1956. It heralded the arrival of India's nuclear energy programme. Dr. Homi Bhabha himself conceptualised the design of the reactor and the reactor was built entirely by Indian engineers in a record time of about 15 months.

Apsara is a swimming-pool-type reactor loaded with enriched uranium as fuel. The fuel core is suspended from a movable trolley in a pool filled with water. The pool water serves as coolant, moderator and reflector, besides providing the shielding.

EDUCATION  In higher studies the IIT's AIIMS and IIM's of

India could compete with the best institutions of the world. Recently Times Higher Education Supplement ranked the IIT's as 3rd in all Technological Universities of the world. Seeing the enormous talent of Indian students the European Union has announced 100 Erasmus Mundus Scholarship for Indian's students which was previously offered to European students only. In scientific, technological and bio medical research India has made a mark. The launching of EDUSAT - a satellite purely for educational purposes marks a great lead forward in the area of satellite education. Space technology has also got a boost. Culturally India is witnessing a great renaissance. Indian music, dance and various performing art have blossomed in the last 50 years. Now these have greater audience and their appeal is becoming universal. Language of India has seen resurgence. Indian writing in English, like that of Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri etc has been acclaimed in the English speaking world.

SPORTS It is often said that we

may only be a small race, but there’s divinity in our cricket. Since the inception of this game, it has come a long way. With hosts of events taking place, the game of Cricket has developed at every stage. Cricket in the 21st Century is a modernized version of what our forefathers have played during the late 18th century, 19th century and even the 20th century.
