  • 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.

  • Is There a Message in DRDO Chief's Exit?
    Page 1 of 9 Newspaper Clips January 20, 2015 Page 2 of 9 IIT Delhi’s Startup Showcase Competition Invites Startups to Pitch for INR 10L in Funding http://www.iamwire.com/2015/01/iit-delhis-start-up-showcase-competition-invites-application-inr-2m-cash- prizes/108443 Enterpreneurship Development Cell (EDC), IIT Delhi is inviting applications for Start-up Showcase Competition event, in association with Foradian Technologies and LetsVenture. 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.
