  • DRDO Successfully Tests Armour-Piercing Nag Missiles At
    Tue, 09 July 2019 DRDO successfully tests armour-piercing Nag Missiles at Pokhran range The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO designed and developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore New Delhi: Moving closer toward the induction of the Nag anti-tank guided missiles into the Army, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Sunday carried out three successful test firings of the missiles in the Pokhran firing ranges. "The missiles were test-fired during both day and night on Sunday during the trials. All three tests were successful," DRDO officials said. Government sources said the missile is in the final stages of being inducted into the Army which will use it by mounting them on modified armoured vehicles. The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO-designed- and-developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore. The system includes a third-generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA). The NAG missile is a third-generation anti-tank guided missile, which has top attack capabilities that can effectively engage and destroy all known enemy tanks during both day and night operations. The successful induction of NAG missile into the Army is expected to give a quantum boost to the Army's capability against enemy armour. NAG was one of the first five strategic missiles planned to be developed under the Integrated Missile Development Programme initiated in the 1980s. The other missiles developed under the project include Agni, Prithvi and Akash, and all three have been successfully developed and inducted into the armed forces.

The competiton will be held at IIT Delhi with an aim to provide a platform for the Indian Start-up Ecosystem to showcase their budding ventures to the mentors and investors from India and abroad. It is a three-stage competition which offers prizes worth over INR 15 lakhs to the winners along with a trip to the Silicon Valley. The winner would get INR 10 Lakhs, where as the first and second runner up will receive INR 500,000 and INR 300,000 respectively. The startups can submit their applications till January 25, 2015 after which around 40-45 start-ups would be selected for the second round. The selection into the third round would depend on the basis of the commitment of all the members of the startup regarding their idea. After getting selected into the third round, the startups would be assigned a mentor from some of the VC firms eg. Sequoia, Helion etc. and would be provided structured mentoring. The final stage of the Start-up Showcase Competition will be conclude on March 7, 2015. Being entrepreneurship enthusiasts ourselves, we firmly believe that a startup cannot be judged in one day, and hence the competition is more of a process rather than a single event, spanning a period of three months, with each team monitored by a group of mentors beyond the first stage, hence ensuring a productive three months for each of the participating teams, EDC, IIT Delhi mentioned on its website.

    Report No. 13 of 2019 Hindustandesh CHAPTER IX: MINISTRY OF SHIPPING Cochin Shipyard Limited 9.1 Improper estimate in quoting prices for construction of double-ended Ro-Ro Ferry vessels Cochin Shipyard Limited incurred a loss of ```7.83 crore due to fixing of low contract price for the Ro-Ro Ferry vessels built for Kochi Municipal Corporation. Kochi Municipal Corporation (KMC) invited (9 December 2014) a Detailed Project Report (DPR) from Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) for the construction of two Double Ended Ro-Ro 1 Ferry vessels required for operation between Fort Kochi and Vypeen Island. CSL submitted (18 December 2014) the DPR along with its offer for construction of vessels at a price of `7.60 crore ( `3.80 crore each) on non-profit basis. The offer was accepted by KMC and a contract was entered between KMC and CSL on 2 March 2015. Construction of both the vessels was completed (January 2017 & February 2017) after a delay of 169 days & 109 days respectively from the contractual date of delivery (July 2016 & October 2016). The vessels were delivered on 27 April 2018. Audit observed that against the estimated cost and contract price of `7.60 crore, CSL incurred a total cost of `15.43 crore for construction of both the vessels whereas it recovered only `7.60 crore as against the total cost. No claim was preferred by CSL to recover the balance amount of `7.83 crore. Thus, wrong estimate had resulted in loss of revenue of `7.83 crore. The Management replied (September 2018) that during the progress of the project, some additional features were made for improving the overall quality/reliability of the vessels.

Article Importance of East Africa in Indo-Pacific Neha Sinha Abstract The East African region has gained immense importance in recent times mainly because of its strategic location on the west coast of the Indian Ocean, its resources and its economic potential. Many countries, including countries of Indo-Pacific region, are trying to establish their influence and military bases in the region. The significance of Africa as a whole for the safety and security of the Indo-Pacific is growing. It is therefore important to systematically build ties between Asia and Africa through a free and open Indo-Pacific maritime zone, in order to promote stability of the region as both the continents are on the rise and also conflict prone.

  • The Eagle – August 2014
    The Eagle (A NEWSLETTER OF ONA) ISSUE NO. 30 (For Private Circulation) August 2014 At the entrance to the Singapore museum is written a quote from their mercurial Founder Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew “ Those who do not know their past have no future”. It is always good to keep reminding us Old Nabhaites and present students of The PPS about the origin and objective of starting this great School and its journey from the past to present. This assists us in understanding where we have come from so far and in defining whence from here? A reminder of the origin of “THE SCHOOL SONG” follows. At a special function organized on January 28th 1963, Mr. Terry, Principal of Thapar Polytechnic Institute (later Engineering College and now University) unveiled the School Song composed by Mr. Michael Vodden The tune was set by none other than Mr.Terry himself (accompanied by his wife on the School Piano, now lying in Headmaster’s ofice) . Mr. Vodden mentioned that when he sat for writing the School song, he started with the idea of co- operative service, beginning with the individual and then widening it to School, country and ultimately the entire Mankind. (from the Chronicles). Here is the entire Song that all true Nabhaites remember from the core of their hearts. While we are boys in School, We learn our lives to mould By learning how ourselves to rule Alert and self-controlled. Moving ever onwards inspired by glories past We “ll build a worthy future striving upwards to the last. In Class and House and School Alone we are sure to fail, We must our many talents pool United we‟ll prevail.
