Can Karnataka retain tag of India’s top destination for space?

Can Karnataka retain tag of India’s top destination for space?

Published by Parlour News

On June 24, 2020, as the country was still grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Union Cabinet approved the participation of the private sector in space activities and the creation of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) to provide a level playing field for private companies to use Indian space infrastructure. This reform was hailed as historic in India’s space journey, which started in 1962 with the establishment of the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR), an earlier avatar of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Soon, space start-ups started mushrooming across the country (currently, there are 330 active space startups in India). The Central Government followed up with further reforms with the Indian Space Policy 2023, and opening up the sector to 100% foreign investment with a new FDI policy. More importantly, this paved the way for many States, including Karnataka, to roll out their own space policies. The Karnataka government, which recently approved the Karnataka Space Technology policy 2025-30, aims to make Karnataka a global space technology destination. The …

Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand retain Syed Modi crown with 17-21, 21-13, 21-15 win over Osawa-Tanabe

Published by Webster

One of the consistent traits of the Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand combine on the international Tour, had been their ability to bounce back from early stutters, and not allowing opponents, save the Top 3 pairings, to run away with leads. The quality to tug at the pace, control the rally and shrug off mistakes to move on to next point, came in handy on Sunday Finals Day at the Syed Modi International Super 300. Playing Japanese Kaho Osawa and Mai Tanabe, the Indians fell back 17-21 in the opening set but rebounded calmly to claim the next two 21-13, 21-15. The Indians attempted to keep a 4-point buffer, after they’d dropped the first set. And while the Japanese made the decider a 2-pointer at 12-14 hauling back the derailed initiative from 9-14 down, Treesa-Gayatri coolly pulled away once more, to wrap up a controlled win in 74 minutes defending their title from last year, and crucially ranking points. The key at that juncture of 12-14 when the Japanese had significantly increased their pace and were defending …

WPL 2026: Abhishek Nayar reveals why UP Warriorz decided to retain only 1 player ahead of the auctions | Cricket News

Published by Webster

When the retentions ahead of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 auctions were announced by all five teams on Thursday, one side stood out from the rest. The UP Warriorz, who have not made the Playoffs cut in the last two editions, decided to retain only one player – uncapped batter Shweta Sehrawat – for Rs 50 lakh. It meant that while they would enter the auction with four Right to Match (RTM) cards, they would also need to rebuild their squad entirely almost from scratch in a bid to win their maiden title in the following or upcoming seasons. “When it comes to retentions, it’s always difficult because you’re dealing with world-class players and leaders in their own right. The idea from the franchise was to start afresh, have more money available in the purse, and build a team that can go all the way,” head coach Abhishek Nayar told JioStar.

Buoyed by a raucous crowd, India took the lead in the second minute through captain Singamayum Shami before Bangladesh equalised in the 61st minute through Md Joy Ahamed.
