The Indian Navy has received the delievery of fourth Nilgiri Class stealth missile frigate called Taragiri. This Frigate is capable of carrying Brahmos Supersonic Cruise missile for ship to ship and ship to ground role.

What makes this ship notable is that the first ship of this class took 93 months but the timeperiod for manufacturing this ship was compressed to 81 months.

This whole destroyer is designed and manufactured totally in Bharat with around 75% indigenous content. The ship symbolises Bharat's growing Atmanirbharta (Self Reliance) in ship building.

It is a state of the Art Frigate, armed with BrahMos Supersonic Cruise missile, MFSTAR radar, MRSAM Air Defence system, a 76mm Rapid Gun Mount, several close in weapon systems and Rockets and Torpedos for Anti-Submarine Warfare.

The Project 17A Frigates represet a leap from earlier Shivalik Class. It was Designed by Warship Design Bureau (WDB) and the Warship Overseeing Team in Mumbai.

Fun Fact- INS Taragiri revives the legacy of erstwhile INS Taragiri, A Leander Class Frigate which was operated by Indian Navy from 1980-2013.

This Ship is not just a Frigate, but a symbol of growing Indian Maritime and Ship Building Independence.

According to me, now India should also focus on increasing the quantity of orders, sure it will require Capital, but we cannot alone bet on Quality. Indian Navy should now focus on increasing number of ships under each project through Additional Orders, and in meanwhile the Ship Dock Produces it, the Navy can start the work of designing the succeeding project ship, and once all the additional ships are delievered by that time or close to it, it will be safe to say that the designing work will also be complete, they can then directly order those ships, making a chain of continous orders, increasing efficiency and Systemic Habituation for Production.

What do you thik about my Idea, feel free to let me know in the comment section.

India's Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has confirmed about it's pact with French Aerospace Leader Safran to Co-Develop a jet engine for 5th gen fighter.

Not just that, India has got the full Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) with full technology transfer. This means that now India can not just manufacture it but also we can study it also we will have rights to sell it to other countries.

A clean sheet design means a new start from the previous attempts like Kaveri Engine which will help us in studying and rectifying our mistakes.

This engine will be used in Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) of India and also the all the upcoming further fighter aircrafts. This engine will significantly boost the Range and Endurance of AMCA.

With this we have almost solved our engine problem for AMCA, and with this we have given a clear message regarding our preference between General Electronics (GE) and SAFRAN. Finally, we can say that dependence form USA for engines has significantly reduced eventhough Tejas jest still use them, but in the future we have shown we have better options.

I think it is a really good move by Bharat as the recent unpleasant attitude of USA towards Bharat and the delays in delievering GE F404 engines for Tejas Mk1a have made it difficult for India to see USA as a trustworthy partner in this matter.

Remember "Dependence is Okay but Over- Dependence is never".

I believe if things go right, Bharat will have all resources to design it's first own fully indigenous high power jet engine and will never have to depend any foreign country for Jet Engines.

Bharat on Friday implemented it's four major Labour Laws ensuring Minimum wage, Gratuity and Social Security for over 400Million workers. The goverenment calls this a reform in a decade old system.

Now let's jump directly to the key elements of the new law:-

1. Employment Formalised- It is now mandatory to give appointment letters to the workers, this will increase transperancy

2. Security Coverage- Now all workers will get security coverage like Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), Insurance etc

3. Gaurantee of timely Minimum wage- A new dimension of time has been added to minimum wage which is said to ensure financial security

4. Preventive Healthcare- All the Employers from now on must provide free annual Health Checkup to their workers above age of 40

5. Compliance Burden Reduced- Single Registration, Pan India single license and single return, this will reduce burden.

6. Introduction of National OSH Board- A national level Occupational Health and Safety Board will be established to ensure safe working conditions all over India.

7. Women Equality- Women will now be able to work in night shifts in all areas, ofcourse only after their own consent and will also get equal pay and equal opportunities in high paying jobs.

In my opinion, a very good step by the goverenment, especially the National OSH board and Preventive Healthcare Initiative.

In my opinion, one thing that could be added was that a sector wise minimum wage could be introduced, which could show a significan shift from Minimum wage to ensure survival to Minimum wage to ensure Money for skill.

What do you think about my opinion and the overall bill. Feel free to let me know.
