In today’s era, any country can develop in the fields of agriculture, military, economy and education on the basis of technology and new technology. At present, India is moving forward rapidly adopting new modes of technology and technology in every field. The National Technology Day that we celebrate every year on May 11 reminds us of our collective duty and responsibility to be technologically strong to meet global challenges. India on this day By successfully conducting 3 nuclear tests under ‘Operation Shakti’ in Pokhran, Rajasthan, it has succeeded in joining the group of countries with nuclear power. It proved to be an important step in the efforts to become a self-reliant India in the field of science, technology and war. Today, India is leaving no stone unturned in taking advantage of technological progress in every field. From health to education, from defense to agriculture, great progress has been made.
With the development of technology, more jobs are being created, as well as there is an increase in the field of production and export has come It has also helped in making people’s lives easier. Today, technological development is taking place in the country according to human needs. Our information technology (IT) roadmap in the defense sector is not only in line with contemporary technologies being used by advanced countries but also with our wartime requirements. Came for protection. T. The area includes ongoing tri-service information and communication technology (ICT) projects that are useful in areas such as network centric operations, information security, planning, store management and general administration governance. advanced The electronic warfare system ‘Shakti’ was designed and developed by the Defense Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL), Hyderabad, which was handed over to the Indian Navy last year. The indigenous carrier Vikrant successfully completed its maiden voyage last year. This advancement in technology reiterates the resolve and duty of the countrymen towards a self-reliant India.
It is heartening that the central and state governments are committed to promoting technologies. Keep the same purpose in frontIn the National Education Policy-2020 prepared under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, special emphasis has been laid on information and technology. Talented technicians are awarded every year by the Ministry of Science and Technology of India. To build a holistic economic ecosystem and to ensure that the electronic manufacturing and innovation ecosystem is catalyzed in the country, the Central Government has launched the `76,000 crore ‘Semicon India’ program for the development of economic and demonstration manufacturing. has been approved.Technology is changing faster than we can imagine, so it is important for our researchers, scientists and experts to practice first in every field and plan accordingly. We all know Kovin, a digital platform that made the fight against Covid-19 easier. Similarly, Arogya Setu app worked as an effective weapon in the fight against Corona virus. Today we can move forward only with the use of technology in other fields including agriculture. Therefore, focus on making the technology system simple, easy and cheap Will not give Drones are widely used in the use of pesticides and nutrients, but can all farmers buy drones? probably not Researchers and scientists will have to work on making cheap drones and robots. In the same way, how much we can do in terms of action plans for the widespread use of technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotic process automation, edge computing and quantum computing, virtual reality, augmented reality, blockchains, internet of things and cyber security etc. ready? us There is a need to be fast and well prepared in the use of new technologies. We always need to remember that we have to compete with the best in the world. I firmly believe that we will be able to fulfill the dream of ‘Digital India’ only with our best efforts, our students, researchers and scientists will have to play a big and active role in enabling new technologies. Today the era of traditional trends is over. Now is the era of thinking away from leaks. This is the era of manufacturing and entrepreneurship. our youth Has the ability and determination to be a driver of performance and improvement. As Swami Vivekananda said – Arise, awake and do not stop until the goal is achieved. With this determination, the country will move forward and become self-reliant.
