  • Philippines-India Relations Was One of the Two Most Focal Bilateral Discussions Made
    India–Philippines relations India–Philippines relations India–Philippines relations refers to the foreign relations between the Republic of India and the Republic of the Philippines. Diplomatic relations between India and the Philippines was established in 1949. India maintains an embassy in Manila, whilst the Philippines maintains one in New Delhi. A Treaty of Friendship was signed between the Philippines and India on 11 July 1952. India Philippines Contents History Early history Colonial era Post World War II era 21st Century relations Joint Commission on Bilateral Co-operation Cultural relations Military relations Trade Relations Indian Community in the Philippines History Early history Indian elements in Philippine culture point to early relations between the two societies. However, some works posit that the influx of Indian cultural elements into the Philippines is understood only in terms of the developments in the intervening regions between these two areas, the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian Archipelago, where there was an intensified process of Indian influences from the 2nd through the late 14th centuries CE. Through the Srivijaya and Majapahit empires, Indian influences would have reached the Philippines from the 10th through the early 14th centuries, based on the events in these two regions, and through direct migration from the Indian subcontinent to the Philippines. Artifacts of Indian orientation have been found in a lot of islands in the Philippines. The golden image of the female Bodhisattva which was found in Agusan, was related to the development of Buddhism in Southeast Asia dating back to the late 13th and 14th centuries. The introduction of Sanskrit words and literature may be dated to the 10th and 12th centuries.

The CNG tractor has been launched after six months of trial-run, Gadkari said, adding that all the required approvals have been obtained before its introduction. The diesel-converted CNG tractor is currently an experimental pilot project. According to Gadkari, the CNG-run tractors will be available in India in due course. The Minister said that the CNG tractors will not only be cost-effective but will also be environment-friendly and help in reducing air pollution. CNG is a clean fuel, as it has the lowest content of carbon and other pollutants. It is economical as it has zero lead and is non-corrosive, non-dilutive and non- contaminating, which helps in increasing the life of the engine and it requires less regular maintenance. It is cheaper as CNG prices are far more consistent than fluctuating petrol prices; also the average mileage of CNG vehicles is better than that of diesel/petrol-driven vehicles.

  • INDIAN NAVY in the Yearана2014 Perspective Planning and Ship
    INDIAN NAVY IN THE YEAR - 2014 Perspective Planning and Ship Production Significant initiatives to shape the future Indian Navy fructified in the realm of Policy and Plans. The Navy saw the publication of three major documents i.e Maritime Capabilities Perspective Plans 2012-27, the XII Plan Document and the XII Infrastructure Plan Document, which was revised to include additional schemes. The Indian Navy continued to train and evolve to meet the emerging challenges to our maritime interests. The Navy's focus was to evolve a force structure commensurate with the geopolitical and economic aspirations of the nation, within the scope of funding and indigenous ship building capacity. Threats, missions and affordability, therefore, remained dominant factors in force structure planning. The modernisation and enhancement of the Navy's capabilities to meet emerging maritime challenges/ threats continued to be an ongoing process. These included aircraft carriers, stealth frigates, destroyers, corvettes, amphibious ships, offshore patrol vessels and submarines. The Indian Navy also inducted state-of-the-art aircraft and helicopters to augment our surveillance and integral aviation capabilities. Ship Induction. The following ships were inducted into the Navy:- (a) INS Vikramaditya. (b) INS Kolkata. (c) INS Kamorta. (d) INS Sumedha and Sumitra. Naval Infrastructure The Indian Navy was allotted 5.41 acres of land in Delhi, for construction of the Nau Sena Bhawan or the Naval Headquarters building. The foundation stone for construction of the building was laid by the Hon'ble Raksha Mantri on 20 Aug 14. Nausena Bhawan II is planned to be built opposite Naval Officer's Mess, Varuna on the land already acquired for the purpose.
