The credit for this grand leap should go to Vikram Sarabai, the founder of space mission in India and his talented successors alongwith all other scientists and engineers related with the mission. In his time or still a question is raised whether a developing country like India should go for expensive space programme. Vikram Sarabai collected data from all the quarters and came to a convincing conclusion that 'space technology is essential for all round development of India. Then he said confidently that question is not whether a developing country should adopt space technology rather the question is whether it can afford to ignore it. Thus began the journey from the Indian National committee for Space research INCOSPAR in 1962 which was later on renamed as Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO in 1969. While Vikram and Pragyan , the lander and rover continue to do research on the Moon,
ISRO is now going ahead with launch of Aditya L1 integrated with PSLV, a solar mission set for the date 11.50 am on 2nd September 2023 at Sriharkota.
It was really encouraging to see the flight of India's Pragyanand to defeat Number 3 and Number 2 in world chess championship held at Azherbaijan. He also gave a tough fight to numer 1 , Carlson, but could only make it out to be ist runner up . It made Carlson , the world grandmaster to say that if next time Preg will not be the world chess champion then who else.
It was again a happy moment for India when Neeraj chopra became the world champion by winning the world javelin throw Gold at Budapest , yet another stamp of confirmation as India's best ever athlete.
The news of more student suicides in Kota was really disgusting . The two Neet aispairants committing suicide in a single day and number of suicides reaching to 22 in year 2023 up to month of August only is really alarming. Every year not only in kota but throughout India most of the students kill themselves for not reaching to the target set up by their parents and teachers with out judging their capability for the target. Every parent sending their wards to kota factory see them as future Doctors or Engineers , which appears to them a safe future for their children . It is not necessary because only few Doctors make money and name and most of the engineers remain unemployed.
There are other professions also which do not need engineering as basic degree and they also make their name in that line and earn a large fortune.
Administration of kota has come up with new remedies for avoiding suicides i.e by installing spring fans and fixing nets on the balconies of hostels and colleges but they have not come up with remedies to nip this evil in the bud. For this whole education system has to be changed and with proper planning selection should be done on the aptitude and I.Q basis of student only and there should not be rat race for few professions . All the professions are equally important for the development of Nation .
Now on the entertainment side both Gadar 2 and OMG 2 are doing well on the box office and have crossed the Rs 500 crore and Rs 150 crore target respectively in national market . While Gadar 2 evolves patriotic sentiments against our neighbor Pakistan and all realistic and unrealistic manivours of Sunny Deol . While OMG 2 has a special message for our special age group.
