New Delhi [India], May 19: In a reflection of the strong Union of India’s quest towards digital revolution, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared an article by Union Minister Piyush Goyal on the Gem-Digital-Governance portal. Launched under the broad objective of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the GeM portal is a significant step towards inclusive and transparent governance.

The government’s push for transparent governance gets a digital boost.@GeM_India is opening doors for the marginalised, cutting red tape and ensuring massive savings.

A detailed take on the GeM platform by Union Minister Shri @PiyushGoyal, an insightful read! https://t.co/roSqukTgV3

— PMO India (@PMOIndia) May 19, 2025

GeM, or Government e-Marketplace, is a robust procurement portal that restricts corruption, encourages competition, and facilitates level playing fields for small businessmen and suppliers. Since its inception, it has transformed how the government purchases goods and services, from secrecy and delay to transparency, efficiency, and trust.

GeM-Digital-Governance as a Cornerstone Reform

GeM-digital-governance is not just a tech fix; it is a regime of policy discipline in line with the nation’s vision for economic justice. The vision behind the revolution is one of an open, affordable, and equitable procurement regime. It ensures that even the smallest vendor from the remotest corner of the country is on an equal playing field for government buying, removing red tape in the traditional sense.

In the words of Shri Modi, the digital push is “opening doors of opportunities for the marginalised” and “enabling massive savings.” His remark pinpoints the GeM platform’s dual achievement: social equity and fiscal prudence.

Key Takeaways from the GeM-Digital-Governance Success:

1. Savings and Efficiency: Thanks to automation and digital validation, GeM has enabled departments to purchase good commodities at reasonable prices, leading to huge public savings.
2. Empowering MSMEs: Several micro and small units, especially women- and SC/ST-owned enterprises, have joined the GeM family.
3. Transparency of Workflow: End-to-end digital documentation ensures traceability and averts fraud.
4. Speed and Scale: More than ₹4.5 lakh crore worth of transactions have been executed on the platform, a pointer to the scale of adoption.
5. Inclusivity in Procurement: Opportunities like the “Startup Runway” and “Womaniya” ensure the platform is inclusive and futuristic.

Shri Piyush Goyal’s incisive article is an insider’s perspective on the policy thinking behind the platform. He colours GeM as a tool of “revolutionary governance,” reshaping how the Indian government interacts with the economy and the people.

Looking Ahead

As India enters its digital era, portals like GeM are the very bedrock of governance, becoming the norm. They bring simplicity, standardisation, and accountability, values the Prime Minister has repeatedly reiterated as the foundations of a New India.

GeM-digital-governance is a case of public sector reform in current times, one in which transparency, inclusivity, and national interest meet. It is a model that not just Indian states but other emerging markets worldwide can look to and emulate sound public procurement systems.

New Delhi [India], May 17: Taking forward the Prime Minister’s “Accessible India Campaign” (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan), a major step was taken to make Delhi an inclusive capital for persons with disabilities. On the occasion of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) 2025, a high-level stakeholder consultation was held at the Office of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities (CCPD) in Dwarka, New Delhi, where the Sugamya Delhi Abhiyan was officially launched. Over 100 stakeholders—including experts, social organizations, private sector CSR representatives, government officials, and public leaders—joined the initiative and pledged their support.

This campaign builds on the success of the Sugamya Dwarka Abhiyan, launched on May 1, 2025. In just 15 days, more than 70 public and private buildings, malls, schools, colleges, bus stops, parks, and footpaths in Dwarka have been audited for accessibility. Over 500 experts and volunteers have actively participated, making it a strong community-driven movement for accessibility.

The initiative is being led by IDEA (Inclusive Divyangjan Entrepreneur Association), a national organization founded by President Awardee Mallikarjuna Iytha, which is working toward employment, entrepreneurship, and accessibility for persons with disabilities. IDEA has empowered over 1,500 Divyangjan as entrepreneurs and helped over 5,000 people find employment. The campaign is being implemented in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities.

Speaking about the campaign, Mallikarjuna Iytha said, “If India is to become a Vishwaguru (global leader), persons with disabilities must be at the forefront of that journey. But for that, our cities, infrastructure, and environment must be accessible. Accessibility must now become a people’s movement, not just a government initiative.”

From Dwarka to Delhi: A City-Wide Expansion of Accessibility

Since its launch on May 1, the Sugamya Dwarka Abhiyan has assessed over 70 buildings and public spaces, including offices like NISD, MCD, NHAI, schools, colleges, banks, bus stops, parks, and footpaths. More than 500 volunteers and experts have contributed. This initiative has brought together government, society, and the private sector in a grassroots movement to make Dwarka accessible.

The campaign has been implemented by IDEA in collaboration with CCPD, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya National Institute for Persons with Disabilities, Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), and several partner organizations. Many institutional representatives attended the event and committed to making Dwarka India’s first fully accessible sub-city.

Smt. Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Member of Parliament from South West Delhi, attended the event and was named Purple Ambassador of the campaign. She said, “Now it is the responsibility of every citizen to identify barriers around them and demand change. This is not just a government duty—it’s everyone’s shared responsibility. I fully support making Dwarka accessible.”

Shri Rajesh Agrawal, Secretary of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD), praised IDEA’s efforts and emphasized that “awareness and public sensitivity are key to this mission’s success. IDEA’s grassroots work is aligned with the national vision.”

Dr. S. Govindraj, Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, also assured full support and expressed commitment to expanding the movement beyond Delhi to all of India.

Purple Building Certification and Event Guidelines Launched

Two major initiatives were unveiled at the event:

The Purple Building Certification Scheme, jointly developed by AMTZ, ICMR, and IDEA, aims to ensure universal design and accessibility in buildings across India.

Accessibility Guidelines for Events, created by IDEA, were also launched to guide organizers in making inclusive and accessible events.

A Big Step Toward an Inclusive Capital

The Sugamya Delhi Abhiyan has now begun as a people-led movement supported by government, businesses, social organizations, and citizens. IDEA has appealed to everyone to join this mission and help make Delhi a truly accessible and inclusive capital for all.

New Delhi [India], May 9: India prominently featured at the Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX) 2025, underscoring its emergence as a reliable space power and esteemed international partner. Held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, the summit signifies an important step in India’s expanding influence in worldwide space exploration.

The International Astronautical Federation (IAF), in partnership with ISRO and the Astronautical Society of India (ASI), hosted a three-day conference that welcomed participants from over 30 nations, including hundreds of delegates and 10 astronauts. This gathering stands out as one of the most significant events in space diplomacy this year.

Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, who inaugurated the summit and its extensive space exhibition area, delivered a compelling keynote address emphasising India’s dual vision: “A for Bharat, B for the World.” He reaffirmed that India’s space initiatives are not solely aimed at national development but also align with the ethos of ‘Vishwa Bandhu Bharat’, a compassionate ally to the global community in the realm of space advancement.

“India is not here to conquer the world,” he said, “but to partner. We are not Big Brother. We are equal brothers working for the good of the planet.”

Innovation Boom and Startup Rise

India’s public-private partnerships and welcoming space policy really stood out. Dr. Singh shared some exciting news: over 190 space startups have blossomed in just two years, thanks to supportive policy changes and guidance from ISRO. You can see these innovative startups in action through 22 interactive exhibits at the conference, showcasing India’s ambitious dreams in launch systems, satellite technology, and deep space exploration.

The Chairman of ISRO, V. Narayanan, emphasised interplanetary exploration as a primary objective and highlighted the democratization of space technology for the benefit of all segments of society.

GLEX 2025 | Global Participation and Astronaut Involvement

The event witnessed global leaders such as Josef Aschbacher (ESA), Wu Weiren (China), Kazuyoshi Kawasaki (Japan), Salem Al Marri (UAE), and Jill Smyth (USA), further solidifying India’s position as a convening power in space policy.

One of the most compelling aspects of the initiative was the astronaut outreach program, which featured renowned figures such as Rakesh Sharma, Angad Pratap, Hazzaa AlMansoori (UAE), and Michael López-Alegría (USA/Spain).

They engaged with students and emerging professionals, fostering spontaneous public interest and cultivating the potential for future leaders in the field of space exploration.

Future Roadmap: Gaganyaan and Beyond

India’s forthcoming Gaganyaan human spaceflight mission provided the context for most discussions, positioning India as an emerging human spaceflight nation. Additionally, plans for prospective lunar and planetary exploration have been articulated, signifying India’s progression from being a passive participant to an active global facilitator in the realm of space operations.

We have already reached the third and final day of GLEX 2025! This morning is starting with a Highlight Lecture by B.N. Suresh @isro, titled Space Exploration to Benefit Humanity on Earth #GLEX2025 pic.twitter.com/6Ww6UwlwON

— IAF (@iafastro) May 9, 2025

The conference’s title theme, “Reaching New Worlds: A Space Exploration Renaissance”, beautifully captured the overwhelming sense of hope and camaraderie that defines this exciting new chapter.

With GLEX 2025, India is strengthening its position in the science community and sending a powerful diplomatic message: space is a realm for peace, progress, and collaboration.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 7: On a peaceful Thursday morning, when the dawn spilt over the flat plains of Gujarat’s Dholera region, the ground shook with something more profound than construction noise. It was the stirring of dreams in the making, steel, silicon, and imagination piled into pillars of what promises to be India’s most ambitious venture into the future.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel’s recent visit to the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) was not routine. It was a walk along a blueprint for the future. With every curve of the road and every presentation slide, what was witnessed was not just infrastructure; it was intent, vision, and readiness. There is a certain poetry about how Dholera is taking shape, not just as a city but as an idea. Wide roads that now almost seamlessly stretch from Ahmedabad to Dholera, an international airport soon to be buzzing with action, a smart grid buzzing with solar energy, and technology-equipped habitats for the world’s frontier industries, all chant the same slogan:

India is preparing to take over.

And under all that planning throbs something decidedly human. Think GAP Group’s ‘Akhilam’ township, say. 42,000 square meters across, it is not just an apartment complex development, it’s a pledge to the scientists and engineers, factory workers, and entrepreneurs who will eventually make their home and workplace here in this city.

A home where the lights don’t just glow on, where lives will shine.

As CM Patel walked through the project site, with top officials and GAP Group Managing Director Ambrish Parajiya in tow, the mood was thick with pride and apprehension. “We are not building infrastructure here,” Parajiya declared. “We are building a life around it.”

That life will course through 1,000 meticulously designed houses, interwoven with office complexes, shopping districts, banks, and parks. It’s a neighborhood where a semiconductor engineer can pull into a coffee stand on the way to a clean room. Or where a little student, son or daughter of one of the thousands planned to relocate here, can walk to school in a neighborhood that hadn’t existed a few years previously.

And yet, that’s only the beginning.

Dholera’s Semicon City, where Tata Electronics is building its high-profile semiconductor complex, is already being pitted alongside international hubs. The freight corridor, digital spine, and green power all fit into the larger picture with an almost surreal precision.

Chief Minister Patel’s visit, timed just weeks before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s expected arrival, felt symbolic. It was a nod to continuity, a leader surveying the land where a decade of dreams are now becoming true.

What is special about Dholera is not what they are doing, but why. It is not a satellite city or an industrial park. It is a declaration: that India will not merely be included in the future of technology and manufacturing, but that it will write it, on its own terms, and on its own land.

And as the motorcade of the Chief Minister drove out of Dholera, leaving behind a skyline in the making, one thing was sure: this is not a site visit.

It’s history, in the making of steel and scaffolding.

New Delhi [India], May 7: In a swift and measured counter-terrorism operation, the Indian Armed Forces executed Operation Sindoor, destroying nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir. The attack, precision-carried out, was a retaliatory measure for the Pakistani terrorist attack on Pahalgam that killed 26 people, including one Nepali national.

A Targeted Military Action with Strategic Restraint

According to the official release from the Government of India, Operation Sindoor Strike was targeted, measured, and purely non-escalatory. Worth special mention is that no Pakistani military establishment was targeted, highlighting India’s calculated restraint and emphasis on responsibility rather than provocation.

The naming, “Sindoor”, a spiritual red sign of devotion in India, also infuses a strong emotional element. Victim families have responded with authenticity. The martyr Santosh Jagdale’s wife commented, “Got emotional reading the operation name.” Another tearful father of a Navy official affirmed, “This strike will always ring in their minds.“

Operation Sindoor Strike: India Stands By Its Promise to Justice

India’s stance is clear: terrorism will not go unpunished. Operation Sindoor strike reaffirms the government’s unyielding commitment to safeguarding national security within the bounds of international conduct.

In the wake of this operation, Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha directed mass-scale evacuation measures in exposed border areas. Civilian casualties due to Pakistani retaliatory shelling have already been witnessed, with three reported deaths and at least nine injured in the Uri sector.

The LG has allayed citizens in an official statement: “We will make every citizen safe. Jai Hind.” Schools along the border regions of Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, like Ferozepur, Pathankot, and Amritsar,  have also been closed as a precautionary measure amidst higher tensions.

Special briefing on #OperationSindoor, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi says, “#OperationSindoor was carried out between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM on the night of May 6-7, 2025, by the Indian Armed Forces. 9 terrorist camps were destroyed in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir”. #India… pic.twitter.com/nn7myZdiH8

National Resolve Amid Economic Jitters

The economic front was marked by gentle turbulence, with markets exhibiting caution. Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined following a two-day rally. India VIX, an indicator of volatility, increased 3.6% to indicate investor apprehension towards the regional conflict and the U.S. Federal Reserve policy announcement to be made soon.

But broad national sentiment is still one and unbreakable. Operation Sindoor confirms the policy of maintaining internal cohesion, external focus, and firm exercise of Indian sovereignty.

New Delhi [India], April 30: In a significant development, the Government of India has authorised the collection of caste data in the forthcoming national census. This decision was ratified during a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

सामाजिक न्याय के लिए संकल्पित मोदी सरकार ने आज एक ऐतिहासिक निर्णय लिया है।

प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के नेतृत्व में आज हुई CCPA की बैठक में, आगामी जनगणना में जातिगत गणना को शामिल करने का निर्णय लेकर सामाजिक समानता और हर वर्ग के अधिकारों के प्रति मजबूत प्रतिबद्धता का…

— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) April 30, 2025

This initiative serves as a definitive reflection of the government’s commitment to social justice, inclusivity, and the empowerment of all socio-economically disadvantaged classes.

With the inclusion of caste calculations, the census will now capture the complete social fabric of India, providing critical data for policymaking and fair distribution of resources.

While the opposition and its allies were hesitant about the caste census during their time in office and politicized the issue, the BJP government has now firmly supported transparency and equality.

“This decision fosters inclusion, acknowledges diversity, and enables those left behind,” a senior functionary said after the CCPA meeting.

The caste census is likely to influence targeted welfare policy, allowing governments to undertake evidence-based schemes for disadvantaged groups.

With a socially equitable vision at its core, the move is a strategic turning point in India’s administrative and development planning. The move is pre-census cycle, providing sufficient lead time to be included in the overall data collection mechanism. Analysts view this step as revolutionary, having the capability to redefine India’s social policy matrix for generations to come.

In promoting caste-based counting (caste census), the current regime reaffirms its commitment to “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas,” once again aligning itself with the rights and dignity of all classes.
