The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are two of the most respected space agencies in the world. Both agencies have made significant contributions to space exploration and have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of the universe. However, in recent years, ISRO is growing exceptionally faster than NASA under the guidance of PM Modi. In this article, we will examine and evaluate the reason behind this fact.

Firstly, ISRO has been able to achieve a great deal with limited resources, despite having a budget that is only a fraction of NASA’s. Let us understand this by an example: the Hollywood movie Gravity’s budget was 644 crores (in Indian rupees) whereas ISRO’s Mars mission was 470 crores (in Indian rupees) back in 2014. Still, to date, ISRO has been able to carry out successful missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond with a limited budget.

ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) became the first Mars mission to be successfully launched on its first attempt. This was a significant achievement for India under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, considering that the success rate for Mars missions is only around 50%. ISRO’s MOM mission also cost just a tiny fraction of what NASA’s Mars missions have cost, making it an impressive feat of engineering and budget management.

Not only this but another area where ISRO made its excellent mark is in satellite technology. India has become the world leader in remote sensing with accelerated speed from the year 2014. Remote sensing provides critical data on various sectors such as agriculture, weather, and natural disasters as well. Apart from this, the Indian Space Research Organisation is now launching satellites for other countries including the so-called superpower United States, France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Canada and many more. The total number has reached 177 in just the previous five years of PM Narendra Modi’s guidance and leadership.

ISRO also made a record by launching 104 satellites in a single mission, including 101 foreign satellites. This feat demonstrated ISRO’s ability to handle complex missions and its competitiveness in the global space industry in a really cost-effective manner. Minister of Science and Technology, Jitendra Singh gave a written statement in Rajya Sabha that India has generated approximately 94 million USD and 46 million Euros in these five years by launching foreign satellites.

ISRO has also made significant strides in developing indigenous technologies. It has designed and built its own rockets for space missions, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). ISRO has also developed its own cryogenic engine technology, which is used in its cost-effective and powerful GSLV rockets. These achievements have helped India become more self-reliant in the space sector and have reduced its dependence on other countries for critical technology.

With the space sector, India is making an exceptional remark in other fields such as the Defence sector as well. Under the governance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi India is now manufacturing its own weapons and defence equipment. As per the reports of the Ministry of Defence, India’s Defence export increased by six times in value since 2014 (from Rs. 1,941 crores in 2014–15 to Rs 11,607 crore by March 2022). India is also exporting weapons to over 80 nations and exports have risen 334% in the past five years.

On April 5th, 2023, Wednesday, a ruling Congress MLA, Brihaspat Singh landed in a controversy after he was caught on camera for purposely thrashing two employees of a cooperative bank in Balrampur-Ramanujganj district of Chhattisgarh, Raipur. The incident took place at the premises of the Ramanujganj branch of Zila Sahkari Kendriya Bank. In a video that is widely suffering online, a Congress MLA allegedly assaulted two employees due to complaints of financial discrepancies and misbehaviour.  

As videos of the incident went viral on social media, staff of the cooperative bank comprising five districts under the Surguja division announced mass leave for two days and demanded strict action against the ruling party MLA. Brishapat Singh didn’t own up to his act but also raised several allegations against the bank staff. He also claimed that the employees misbehaved with him and didn’t even release funds for them.

According to Congress leader, Lakhan Singh, a 70-year-old farmer who is a local of Mahaveer Ganj had come to the bank to withdraw some money but unfortunately faced misconduct and misbehaviour by the bank employees. On Tuesday, a group of people submitted a letter to Bhupesh Baghel, the Chief Minister of Chattisgarh and to the Inspector General of Police in Ambikapur district seeking actions against the Congress MLA.  As per the reports, the Congress MLA allegedly abused and slapped clerk Rajesh Pal and peon Arvind Singh in front of hundreds of farmers during working hours. 

Responding to the viral video of the incident, the defiant Congress leader said, “The people should make the video of farmers viral, with a fractured arm, and urging the bank employees to release his money to bear his medical expenses and the latter thrashing him and throwing him out.” Kedar Kashyap, a BJP leader seeking his dismissal as an MLA over the incident, hit back at BJP he said that “BJP leader Ramvichar Netam assaulted several government employees and humiliated them too. The BJP should first act against them.” 

On April 4th, 2023, Tuesday, India outrightly rejected China’s attempt to rename 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh Including five mountain peaks, two land areas, two residential areas, and two rivers. This attempt by China depicts a part of its efforts to re-emphasise its claim over the northeastern Indian State. Arindam Bagchi, the official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs mentioned and asserted that Arunachal Pradesh will always be an integral part of India. 

Yesterday, China released a set of new names for 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh, this is the third time that China has ’renamed’ places in Arunachal Pradesh, which it calls “Zangnan, the southern part of Tibet”.  “We have seen such reports, as this is not the first time China has made such an attempt. We reject this outright” said by Arindam Bagchi during media interactions. China declared its territorial claim over the Indian states  by releasing a third set of names in Tibetan, Chineses, and pinyin characters of Arunachal Pradesh.

The ministry announced the list of the third batch of geographical names in Arunachal Pradesh. According to some news reports, The category of names of places’ and their inferior directorial districts are listed by China’s Minister of Civil Affairs. The first two such lists for renaming places in Arunachal Pradesh were released in 2018 and 2021, as China issued a list of six names in 2017, while in 2021 it renamed 15 places in the state. New Delhi issued a statement that mentioned China was inventing names that would not alter reality. 

The Indian government said that it has been observed that reports of China tried to rename the places in Arunachal Pradesh “in their own language” in December 2022. Also the government declared that the state border has been and will always be an essential part of India. The announcement of names turned out as a permitted move and China’s sovereign right to standardise the new names, quoted by the Global Times, a part of the Communist Party’s mouthpiece. 

On April 04, 2023, Tuesday, the Mandya Court charged the Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar for allegedly throwing currency notes of Rs 500 during the Praja Dhwani Yatra in Mandya. On March 28, when the yatra was near Bevinahalli in Srirangapatna, Shivkumar was seen throwing Rs 500 notes at the artists performing in the rally. 

After this incident took place, the EC (Election Commission) filed a complaint based on which a non-cognisable offence was filed against DK Shivakumar. After this, the Congress leader was booked at the direction of a local court by Mandya rural police. Earlier on March 29, DK Shivkumar had expressed his confidence in the Congress’s preparedness for the Assembly elections. 

“Congress is all ready for the elections, we want this government to be dismissed. As soon as this government is dismissed, it will be better for the state and the whole nation. This election will be development-oriented and for a state and country free of corruption,” Shivkumar told the media. Hitting out at the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), the state Congress chief alleged that the party is “compromising corruption” in Karnataka. 

DK Shivkumar also said, “This election will be a model because corruption is at its peak. PM Modi has motivated corruption and did not open his mouth against wrongs. He did not take action against his party leaders. Just for the sake of the party, he has been compromising a plethora of corrupt activities. The BJP never provided the youth with any employment, however, our party will ensure to do so.” 

Karnataka has 224 seats in the Assembly and currently out of those there are 119 MLAs of the ruling BJP while the Congress has 75 and its ally JD (s) has 28 seats with them. On March 29, 2023, the Election Commission put out the schedule for the Karnataka Assembly elections. The polling will be taking place in a single phase on May 10 and the counting of the same will be done on May 13. 

On Monday, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai commented that the question of Congress party coming back to power in the state is insignificant. Thus, they will be prepared to bring back the reservation provided by the BJP. “Congress party senior leaders expressed the idea that they will reverse the reservation which we have released. There is no question of them coming to the government. The Congress can’t displace the reservation as they will never take control of the power in the Karnataka state,” he said. 

CM Bommai has further added, condemned Rajdeep Singh Surjewala for his comment shared on Twitter, and said, “I want to directly convey to Dalit and lower strata people that they (Congress) are anti-Dalits, anti-poor, they are trembling. Their tweets clearly reflect that they are anti-Vokkaliga and anti-Lingayat, it has a clear intention and shows the real face of Congress.”

In recent times, the Karnataka government carried out a major change in the state reservation plan by rearranging subcategories in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category and presenting new sub-groups in the Scheduled Castes list. In plenty of changes, the Bommai led-government of  Karnataka discontinued the 4% quota in Category 2(B) meant for the Muslim community, accumulating the quantum of quota in two other subcategories by 2% each. The Karnataka authority also added for the first time, four subcategories to the Scheduled Castes list in the state. 

He stated that in the coming days, there will be a high-level state core committee meeting. Bommai also emphasized that no one is disappointed, all major surveys indicate that the ruling government will repeat the next term. There are competitions to get the BJP ticket, that’s the courage of our party’s strength. Currently sitting CM Basavaraj Bommai also expresses his ambition to fill the nomination form from his hometown of Shiggaon in the Haveri district in the forthcoming Karnataka assembly elections.

Mobile gambling has undergone significant developments throughout its history. The widespread adoption of mobile phones, particularly after the launch of the first iPhone, revolutionized the gaming industry. In 2007, Apple introduced its initial mobile device, prompting more and more casino players to switch to portable wireless gaming.

Playing casinos and other games on handheld devices through smartphone gaming is a new and more convenient approach.

Undeniably, smartphone gaming has been gaining popularity each year. However, what factors contribute to the increasing appeal of mobile gambling compared to other betting methods? Additionally, what risks are associated with the many advantages of mobile gambling? 

This research by 24betting company delves into the origins of mobile gambling, its current state, and our predictions for its future.

Development of mobile gambling

In 1994, Microgaming established the first-ever online casino, which sparked interest among operators and software developers. Online gambling quickly gained popularity and proved to be profitable, leading to its growth.

Similar to how online casinos replaced traditional, mobile gambling has now surpassed its predecessors. Mobile gaming encompasses playing games of chance or skill on a mobile device, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It includes video games, casino games, and various other applications, both through mobile applications and browser-based games.

To become a mobile gambler, all one has to do is access a casino site through their preferred mobile browser. In recent years, the mobile gaming industry has also grown significantly, generating $7.5 billion in the App Store and Google Play in October 2021 alone. 

Historically, European and American gamblers led the way in mobile gaming, but with the onset of the 2020s, Asia has also embraced mobile gambling. After all, the mobile gaming business generates the most revenue of all types of gambling.

A common question is whether to play online casinos through mobile apps or browsers. However, personal choice is important, and casino applications have certain benefits.

Casino apps are now developed using HTML5 instead of Flash, allowing them to perform seamlessly on iOS and Android devices. Gambling operators invest significant money in developing casino apps, which often pays off.

Mobile gaming apps in gambling

As smartphones and mobile devices became more advanced, mobile gaming apps began to emerge, offering users a more convenient and immersive gambling experience.

Real dealers and actual equipment are used in live games to give a more immersive and realistic gaming experience. With the help of mobile gaming apps, players can now access live dealer games from anywhere, making them a popular choice among mobile gamers.

Mobile gaming apps have also seen significant improvements in user interfaces and design, making them more intuitive and user-friendly. As a result, developers are continually working to improve the performance and reliability of mobile gaming apps, ensuring that players can enjoy a smooth and seamless experience when playing their favorite games.

For instance, the advanced 24betting App has the following features:

1. User-friendly interface for easy navigation
2. Real-time statistics to keep users updated on their progress
3. Data-saving features to optimize mobile data usage
4. Quick and easy log-in with instant content download
5. Live alerts to notify users of important updates.
6. Multilingual support to cater to users from different regions
7. Access to all available bonuses and promotions
8. All bonuses and promotions are accessible
9. Easy deposit and withdrawal options

Overall, the evolution of mobile gaming apps in gambling has allowed players to access their favorite games from anywhere at any time, making the gambling experience more convenient and accessible than ever before.

India assisted Bhutan with INR 4500 crore for various multi-sectoral project-tied assistance, Direct Budgetary Support, and small development projects for the 12th five year plan. The unique relationship between the two countries has been maintained by a custom of frequent high-level exchanges between India and Bhutan. It has been observed that some of the high-profile visits will be made by the prominent individuals, such as Foreign Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in the year 2019, 2022 April and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the year 2019 August.

On April 2nd, 2023, Sunday, a fresh incident of violence erupted in West Bengal’s Hooghly district during the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Shobha Yatra. This incident of stone pelting took place just two days after Howrah witnessed incidents of violence during the Ram Navami celebrations. A similar clash was also reported earlier this week between the two communities. The national vice president of BJP also participated in the Ram Navami’s Shobha Yatra, and the visuals of the procession show people running for safety amid stone-pelting. 

“During the Shobha Yatra of BJP, stones were pelted on childrens and women. State government is taking no such actions even after the Howrah violence. Vehicles are being vandalised and stones are being pelted during the Shobha Yatra” claimed Dilip Ghosh, BJP leader.  West Bengal minister Shashi Panja mentioned that “Violence and arson take place whenever BJP organises any rally. The same thing happened today, during the rally of BJP which was pre-planned by Dilip Ghosh. This has become their tradition. The act of communal riots have increased under the BJP regime, and our party completely condemns this act of BJP”.

The government of West Bengal handed over the probe to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) following the violence during the Ram Navami celebrations in Howrah on Friday. A special team led by Sunil Choudhary, Inspector General of Police had already initiated the investigation. Sukanta Majumdar has written a letter to Union Home Minister, Amit Shah and has requested for immediate help in the state. According to some TV reports, BJP MLA Biman Ghosh was also injured during the stone pelting. The State has witnessed several clashes between the two communities since the beginning of the Hindu festival ‘Ram Navami.’ 

Internet services are suspended in West Bengal’s Hooghly by the government in order to avert after free ruckus and stone pelting erupted during the BJP Shobha Yatra at Rishra. Mamta Banerjee appealed to the people of Hindu and Muslim communities to maintain peace, law and order as she admitted that it was a failure of the police and assured that strict actions will be taken in this regard.

Congress leader and former Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi will be seen in Surat, Gujarat in order to file an appeal in sessions court against a lower court order that found him guilty of criminal defamation for his notoriously unpopular remark- “all thieves have Modi surnames.” March 24th was the day Gandhi was found guilty of misusing the surname and namecalling the PM, the leader was charged with defamation by the entire Modi community, which was initially filed by BJP MLA Purnesh Modi (the ex-Congress president who was disqualified from Lok Sabha). 

After a few days, Gandhi was asked to vacate his official residence on April 22 in New Delhi which was given to him as an entitled MP.  While campaigning for Lok Sabha elections, Gandhi made remarks in April 2019 in Karnataka’s Kolar saying PM Modi was equal to law offenders like Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi. 

The Congress has accused PM Modi of targeting Rahul Gandhi because he has been raising questions about the link between Modi and Gautam Adani, after which BJP has said that the court is doing its job on the matter. 

Rahul Gandhi was sentenced to 2-year in jail for his transgression but was suspended for a month for him to appeal against the order. Meanwhile, if the conviction is not toppled, the political leader will be disqualified from participating or running for elections for the upcoming 8 years. On the other hand, congress supporters are seen protesting in front of the Surat court where Gandhi will file his appeal today. 

CMs who are accompanying Gandhi to the court are Ashok Gehlot (Rajasthan), Bhupesh Baghel (Chattisgarh) and Sukhvinder Sukhi (Himachal Pradesh) and some other leaders.
