DEPARTMENT OF OCEAN
DEVELOPMENT

The Department of Ocean Development (DOD)

was created in Jul, 1981. In 1982, the Government of

India issued the Ocean Policy Statement in which

control, management and utilization of the internal

resources available in the sea and development of

appropriate technologies to harness these resources

have been emphasized. From March 1982, the DOD

has been functioning as a separate nodal

department in line with the Ocean Policy Statement

of 1982. The programmes pursued by the

Department over the years have also kept pace with

developments world over and addressed national

needs and issues.

SPACE TECHNOLOGY OF
INDIA

Aryabhatta was the first satellite

launched by India. It was named after
the great Indian astronomer of the same
name. Aryabhatta weighed 360kg and
was launched by the Soviet Union on
April 19, 1975 from Kapustin Yar using
a Cosmos-3M launch vehicle.

The satellite had following objectives:

To indigenously design and fabricate a
space-worthy satellite system and
evaluate its perfromance in orbit.
To evolve the methodology of conducting
a series of complex operations on the
satellite in its orbital phase.
To set up ground-based receiving,
transmitting and tracking systems.
To establish infrastructure for the
fabrication of spacecraft systems.
Aryabhatta carried experiments related
to X-Ray Astronomy, Solar Physics and
Aeronomy. The satellite re-entered the
Earth's atmosphere on 11 February
1992.

INDIAN DEFENCE

Indian defence force is the

third largest defence force in
the world after USA and
China. Indian armed forces
defend the vast land, water
and aerial borders of India
and are renowned for their
courage and valour. Indian
defence forces have shown
their in India as well as
abroad. Indian armed forces
have raised the country's
honour in UN Peacekeeping
Missions and have impressed
everyone with their
professionalism and
discipline. Here are some
interesting facts about Indian
defence.

NUCLEAR

REACTOR

India's First Nuclear Reactor was

Apsara. It was also the first
nuclear reactor in Asia. Apsara
went critical at Bhabha Atomic
Research Centre (BARC),
Trombay on August 4, 1956. It
heralded the arrival of India's
nuclear energy programme. Dr.
Homi Bhabha himself
conceptualised the design of the
reactor and the reactor was built
entirely by Indian engineers in a
record time of about 15 months.

Apsara is a swimming-pool-type
reactor loaded with enriched
uranium as fuel. The fuel core is
suspended from a movable trolley
in a pool filled with water. The
pool water serves as coolant,
moderator and reflector, besides
providing the shielding.

EDUCATION

In higher studies the IIT's AIIMS and IIM's of

India could compete with the best institutions
of the world. Recently Times Higher
Education Supplement ranked the IIT's as 3rd
in all Technological Universities of the world.
Seeing the enormous talent of Indian students
the European Union has announced 100
Erasmus Mundus Scholarship for Indian's
students which was previously offered to
European students only. In scientific,
technological and bio medical research India
has made a mark. The launching of EDUSAT
- a satellite purely for educational purposes
marks a great lead forward in the area of
satellite education. Space technology has also
got a boost. Culturally India is witnessing a
great renaissance. Indian music, dance and
various performing art have blossomed in the
last 50 years. Now these have greater
audience and their appeal is becoming
universal. Language of India has seen
resurgence. Indian writing in English, like
that of Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri etc has
been acclaimed in the English speaking world.

SPORTS

It is often said that we may only be a small

race, but theres divinity in our cricket. Since
the inception of this game, it has come a long
way. With hosts of events taking place, the
game of Cricket has developed at every
stage. Cricket in the 21st Century is a
modernized version of what our forefathers
have played during the late 18th century,
19th century and even the 20th century.

the world arena. All the
above mentioned points
emphatically proves that
India's achievement in
the last 60 years has
