Pointing out that observation is the root of science, and it is by such observation that scientists follow patterns and arrive at required results, the Prime Minister mentioned the importance of gathering data and analysing results. He highlighted the abundant availability of data and technology in 21st-century India and said that it has the potential to take Indian Science to new heights. He also informed that the field of data analysis is moving forward at a meteoric pace which is of great help in converting information into insight and analysis into actionable knowledge. “Be it traditional knowledge or modern technology, each one plays a crucial role in scientific discovery”, the Prime Minister remarked. He also emphasised the need to strengthen the scientific processes by applying various techniques of research-led development.

Speaking about the result of India’s tryst with the scientific approach, the Prime Minister said that India is being counted among the top countries of the world as India moved to 40th place in the Global Innovation Index in 2022 from 81st place in 2015. India is among the top three nations in the world in terms of the number of PhDs and startup ecosystems.

Expressing happiness about the theme of the Science Congress this year which combines sustainable development with women empowerment, the Prime Minister emphasised the complementarity between the two areas. However, he stressed, “Our thinking is not just that we should empower women via science but also empowering science by the contribution of women.”

Informing that India has been enshrined the opportunity to preside over G-20, the Prime Minister pointed out that women-led development is one of the high-priority subjects taken up by the chair. He informed that in the last 8 years, India has taken up extraordinary tasks ranging from governance to society to economy which is being discussed all over the world today. Highlighting the women who showcase their strength to the world, be it in a partnership in small industries and businesses or leadership in the start-up world, the Prime Minister gave the example of Mudra Yojna which has been instrumental in empowering women of India. He also pointed out the doubling of women’s participation in the field of extramural research and development. “The increasing participation of women is proof that women and science are both progressing in the nation”, Shri Modi said.

Talking about the scientists’ challenge of turning knowledge into actionable and helpful products the Prime Minister said, “Efforts of science can turn into great achievements only when they come out of the lab and reach the land, and their impact reaches from global to grassroots, when its ambit is from journal to jameen (land, everyday life) and when change is visible from research to real life.” He said when science’s achievements complete the distance between experiments to people’s experiences, it gives an important message and impresses the young generation who get convinced of the role of science. In order to help such youth, the Prime Minister emphasised the need for an institutional framework. He called upon the gathering to work on developing such an enabling institutional framework. He gave examples of Talent Hunt and Hackathons through which children with scientific temper could be discovered. The Prime Minister talked about India’s stride in the field of sports and attributed the success to the emerging robust institutional mechanism and guru-shishya parampara. The Prime Minister suggested that this tradition can be the mantra of success in the field of science.

Pointing out issues that will pave the way for the development of science in the nation, the Prime Minister remarked that fulfilling India’s requirements should be the root of all inspiration for the entire scientific community. “Science in India should make the country atmanirbhar”, the Prime Minister remarked as he noted that 17-18 percent of the human population resides in India and such scientific developments should benefit the entire population. He emphasised the need to work on subjects that are of importance to the entire humanity. To address the growing energy needs of the country, the Prime Minister informed that India is working on a National Hydrogen Mission and stressed the need to manufacture critical equipment like electrolysers in India to make it a success.

The Prime Minister also emphasised the role of the scientific community in developing ways of dealing with emerging diseases and the need for encouraging research in developing new vaccines. He talked about integrated disease surveillance for the timely detection of diseases. For this, he stressed the need for coordinated efforts of all the ministries. Similarly, LiFE i.e Lifestyle for Environment movement may greatly be helped by the scientists.

The Prime Minister noted that it is a matter of pride for every citizen that on India’s call, the United Nations has declared the year 2023 as the International Year of Millets. He pointed out that work can be done to improve India's millets and its use while effective steps can be taken by the scientific community to reduce post-harvest losses with the help of biotechnology.

The Prime Minister underlined the role of science in waste management as municipal solid waste, electronic waste, bio-medical waste, and agricultural waste are expanding and the government is promoting a circular economy.

The Prime Minister acknowledged the role of low-cost satellite launch vehicles in the booming space sector of India and mentioned that the world will come forward to take our services. The Prime Minister highlighted the opportunities for private companies and startups by associating with R&D labs and academic institutions. He also pointed out quantum computing and how India is making its mark in the world as a quantum frontier. “India is moving fast in the direction of quantum computers, chemistry, communication, sensors, cryptography and new materials”, the Prime Minister said as he urged young researchers and scientists to gain expertise in the quantum field and become leaders.

Shri Modi stressed the need to focus on futuristic ideas and areas where no work is happening anywhere. He asked for keeping AI, AR and VR as priorities. He exhorted the scientific community to come up with innovations in the semiconductor chips and asked them to think about keeping the semiconductor push future ready from now on. “If the country takes initiative in these areas we will be in a position to lead Industry 4.0”, he said.

Concluding the address, the Prime Minister expressed the belief that a clear roadmap for the future will be prepared on various constructive points during this session of the Indian Science Congress. “In Amrit Kaal, we have to make India the most advanced laboratory of modern science”, Shri Modi concluded.

    respected Sir!  For the last 8 years, I don't know how many times I have given all the information about my Science and Technology project to the PMO, but till now there is no contact of any kind.  So far this type of behavior seems very painful.  And such a frustrated feeling arises in the mind that the inventor hidden inside himself should be murdered along with all the projects.  Sir, I do not say that out of my 14 projects, 14 projects can prove to be effective, but if even two of these projects are useful for the society, then I will consider my life blessed and successful.  Please don't take my essential feelings otherwise!  And consider some positive aspect of it and act on my prayer!                 Yours       Ajay Vishwakarma 9970696899 government correspondence letter number PMO October 2014 Dak section PMO 12 January 2015 Dak section PMO 4 July 2018 Dak section departments of centre Power research institute Bengaluru No. CPRI/P&C/INVN.13/2011 departments of science and technology No .k-1103/03/2015/CDN/ PG departments of road transport and highways F.NO.

    Double Spirals Cone Economy (द्वि चक्रीय शंकु अर्थव्यवस्था) वर्तमान समय में भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था को नई आकृति प्रदान करने की जरूरत है। अभी भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था वृत्ताकार हो गया है, भारतीय किसान और मजदूर प्राथमिक वस्तु का उत्पादन करता है, जिसका कीमत बहुत कम मिलता है। फिर उसे विश्व से महंगी वस्तु खरीदना पड़ता है, जिसका कीमत अधिक होता है। इस चक्रीय अर्थव्यवस्था में प्राथमिक सस्ता उत्पाद विदेश जाता है और महंगा तृतीयक उत्पाद विदेश से भारत आता है। यह व्यापार घाटा को जन्म देता है। विदेशी मुद्रा को कमी पैदा करता है। अब थोड़ा अर्थव्यवस्था को आकृति बदलकर देखिए, क्योंकि अर्थव्यवस्था का आकृति बदलना आसान है। लेकिन भारत सरकार अर्थव्यवस्था का आकार बढ़ाने के प्रयास में लगा है, वह भी विदेशी निवेश से, यह दूरदर्शिता नहीं है। भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था में दो तरह की मुद्रा का प्रचलन शुरू करना चाहिए, 80% मुद्रा डिजिटल करेंसी के रूप में और 20% मुद्रा वास्तविक मुद्रा के रूप में। 1. इसके लिए, भारत सरकार अपने कर्मचारियों को वेतन के रूप में 80% वेतन डिजिटल करेंसी में और 20% वेतन भारतीय रुपए में दिया जाए। 2. अनुदान तथा ऋण भी 80% डिजिटल करेंसी के रूप में और 20% भारतीय रुपए के रूप में दिया जाए। 3. इसका फायदा यह होगा कि भारतीय मुद्रा दो भागों में बंट जायेगा। 80% डिजिटल करेंसी से केवल भारत में निर्मित स्वदेशी सामान ही खरीदा और बेचा जा सकेगा। 4. इससे स्वदेशी वस्तुओं का उपभोग बढ़ेगा, व्यापार घाटा कम होगा। 5. महंगे विदेशी सामान को डिजिटल करेंसी से नहीं खरीदा जा सकेगा। 6. वर्तमान समय में सरकारी कर्मचारी अपने धन का 70 से 80% का उपयोग केवल विदेशी ब्रांडेड सामान खरीदने में खर्च होता है। इससे घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है और सरकार का अधिकतम धन विदेशी अर्थव्यवस्था को गति प्रदान करता है। इसीलिए भारत सरकार को चाहिए की जो वेतन सरकारी कर्मचारियों को दिया जा रहा है उसका उपयोग घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था को गति देने में किया जाना चाहिए। 7. भारत के उद्योगपति और अत्यधिक संपन्न व्यक्ति अपने धन का उपयोग स्वदेशी वस्तुओं को खरीदने में करे। व्यर्थ का सम्मान पाने के लिए विदेशी ब्रांड पर पैसा खर्च न करे। इसके लिए भी, यह अनिवार्य कर दिया जाए कि यदि किसी व्यक्ति को 20% से अधिक का लाभ प्राप्त होता है तो उसके लाभ का धन दो भागों में बदल दिया जायेगा, 80% भाग डिजिटल करेंसी में और 20% भाग वास्तविक रुपए में। 8. वर्तमान समय में जब वैश्विक मंदी दस्तक देने वाला है, ऐसी समय में भारतीयों को ब्रांडेड वस्तुओं को तरफ आकर्षित होने के बजाय, घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था को गति देने के लिए, स्वदेशी वस्तुओं का खरीद करना चाहिए। इससे रोजगार सृजन होगा। अब थोड़ा समझते हैं, द्वि चक्रीय शंकु अर्थव्यवस्था को। 1. इसमें दो शंकु है, एक शंकु विदेशी अर्थव्यवस्था को दर्शाता है, और दूसरा शंकु घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था को दर्शाता है। 2. दोनों शंकु के मध्य में भारत सरकार है, जिसे दोनों अर्थव्यवस्था को नियंत्रित करना चाहिए। यदि आप नाव को नियंत्रित नहीं करेंगे, तब वह नाव दिशाहीन होकर समुद्र में खो जायेगा, इसका फायदा समुद्री डाकू उठायेगा। 3. भारत सरकार को चाहिए की वह दोनों शंकु को इस तरह संतुलित करे की , धन का प्रवाह विदेश अर्थव्यवस्था की तरफ नकारात्मक और घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था की तरफ सकारात्मक हो। 4. इसके लिए, भारत सरकार को चाहिए की वह अपना बजट का 80% हिस्सा डिजिटल करेंसी के रूप में घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था को दे, जबकि 20% छपाई के रुपए के रूप में विदेशी अर्थव्यवस्था हेतु उपलब्ध कराए। 5. घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था को विदेशी अर्थव्यवस्था से अलग किया जाए। विदेशी वस्तुओं की बिक्री हेतु भारत में अलग स्टोर बनाने के लिए बाध्य किया जाए। विदेशी वस्तुओं को खरीदने के लिए अलग मुद्रा (छपाई के रुपए) का इस्तेमाल को ही स्वीकृति दिया जाए। 6. जब दूसरा देश दबाव डाले की हमें भारत में व्यापार करने में बढ़ा उत्पन्न किया जा रहा है, तब उन्हें स्पष्ट कहा जाना चाहिए की हम अपने देश में रोजगार सृजन करने , भुखमरी को खत्म करने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं। 7. दूसरे देशों के राष्ट्रध्यक्ष को धोखा देने के लिए, उन्हें कहा जाए की अभिभ्रात में लोकसभा चुनाव है। लोकसभा चुनाव खत्म होते ही भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था आप सभी के लिए खोल देंगे, ताकि विदेशियों को भारत में व्यापार करना सुगम हो जाए। 8. अभी भारतीय श्रमिक और मजदूर स्पाइरल शंकु के सबसे नीचे है और एक बार हाथ से पैसा बाजार में खर्च हो गया तो अगले कई दिनों बाद अथवा अगले वर्ष ही पैसा हाथ में आता है। क्योंकि कृषि उत्पाद वर्ष में 2 बार हो बेचने का मौका मिलता है किसानों को। 9. spiral cone में पैसा जितनी तेजी से निम्न वर्ग से उच्च वर्ग को तरफ बढ़ता है, उतनी ही तेजी से निम्न वर्ग का गरीबी बढ़ता है, परिणाम स्वरूप स्वदेशी अर्थव्यवस्था का शंकु का शीर्ष छोटा होता जाता है और निम्न वर्ग का व्यास बढ़ता जाता है। 10. भारत सरकार को अब अनुदान देने के बजाय, निवेश कार्य में धन लगाना चाहिए। ताकि घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था में वृद्धि हो। 11. अभी भारत सरकार का पैसे जैसे ही भारतीय श्रमिक, भारतीय नौकरशाह को मिलता है। वैसे ही विदेशी कंपनियां, ब्रांडेड सामान का चमक दिखाकर( विज्ञापन द्वारा भ्रमित कर), उस धन को भारतीय घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था से चूस लेता है और विदेश भेज देता है। 12. ऐसा होने से रोकने के लिए, भारतीयों को दो प्रकार से धन मुहैया कराया जाए। ताकि विदेशी ब्रांडेड सामान खरीद ही न पाए। जो भारतीय फिर भी अपने धन का बड़ा हिस्सा विदेशी सामान खरीदने का प्रयास करे उन्हें अलग अलग तरीके से हतोत्साहित करने का उपाय खोजा जाए। 13. भारत में किसी भी वस्तु के उत्पादन लागत का 30% से अधिक लाभ अर्जित करना, अपराध घोषित किया जाए। इससे भारतीय निम्न वर्ग कम धन में अधिक आवश्यक सामग्री खरीद सकेगा। 14. विदेश में कच्चा कृषि उत्पाद की जगह पैकेट बंद तृतियक उत्कृष्ट उत्पाद भेजा जाए। डोमिनोज पिज्जा की जगह देल्ही पिज्जा को ब्रांड बनाया जाए। 15. कच्चा धात्विक खनिज विदेश भेजने के बजाय, घरेलू उद्योग से उत्कृष्ट धात्वीक सामग्री बनाकर निर्यात किया जाए। 16. उद्योग में अकुशल मजदूर को बुलाकर ट्रेनिंग देकर कुशल श्रमिक बनाया जाए। 17. विदेशी अर्थव्यवस्था वाले से शंकु से धन चूसकर, घरेलू अर्थव्यवस्था वाले शंकु की तरफ प्रवाहित किया जाए। यह कार्य दोनों शंकु के मध्य बैठे भारत सरकार को करना ही होगा। 18. यदि भारत सरकार चीन को सरकार की तरह सक्रियता दिखाए तो भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था का स्वर्णिम दौर शुरू हो सकता है। 19. अभी तो भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था से धन तेजी से विदेश को ओर जा रहा है, और निवेश एक तरह का हवा है जो मोटर से पानी निकालने के लिए भेजा जाता है। 20. बीजेपी को वोट भारतीय बेरोजगारों, श्रमिकों और किसानों से ही मांगना है तो एक वर्ष इन्हें ही क्यों न तृप्त किया जाए। फिर चुनाव जीतकर आएंगे, तब उद्योगपतियों और पूंजीपतियों के लिए चार वर्ष तक जी भरकर काम कीजिएगा।

India - U.S. Joint Statement during the visit of Prime Minister of India to US
February 14, 2025

The President of the United States of America, The Honorable Donald J. Trump hosted the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi for an Official Working Visit in Washington, DC on February 13, 2025.

As the leaders of sovereign and vibrant democracies that value freedom, the rule of law, human rights, and pluralism, President Trump and Prime Minister Modi reaffirmed the strength of the India-U.S. Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, anchored in mutual trust, shared interests, goodwill and robust engagement of their citizens.

Today, President Trump and Prime Minister Modi launched a new initiative – the "U.S.-India COMPACT (Catalyzing Opportunities for Military Partnership, Accelerated Commerce & Technology) for the 21st Century” – to drive transformative change across key pillars of cooperation. Under this initiative, they committed to a results-driven agenda with initial outcomes this year to demonstrate the level of trust for a mutually beneficial partnership.

Defense

Highlighting the deepening convergence of U.S.-India strategic interests, the leaders reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to a dynamic defense partnership spanning multiple domains. To advance defense ties further, the leaders announced plans to sign this year a new ten-year Framework for the U.S.-India Major Defense Partnership in the 21st Century.

The leaders welcomed the significant integration of U.S.-origin defense items into India's inventory to date, including C‑130J Super Hercules, C‑17 Globemaster III, P‑8I Poseidon aircraft; CH‑47F Chinooks, MH‑60R Seahawks, and AH‑64E Apaches; Harpoon anti-ship missiles; M777 howitzers; and MQ‑9Bs. The leaders determined that the U.S. would expand defense sales and co-production with India to strengthen interoperability and defense industrial cooperation. They announced plans to pursue this year new procurements and co-production arrangements for "Javelin” Anti-Tank Guided Missiles and "Stryker” Infantry Combat Vehicles in India to rapidly meet India’s defense requirements. They also expect completion of procurement for six additional P-8I Maritime Patrol aircraft to enhance India’s maritime surveillance reach in the Indian Ocean Region following agreement on sale terms.

Recognizing that India is a Major Defense Partner with Strategic Trade Authorization-1 (STA‑1) authorization and a key Quad partner, the U.S. and India will review their respective arms transfer regulations, including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), in order to streamline defense trade, technology exchange and maintenance, spare supplies and in-country repair and overhaul of U.S.-provided defense systems. The leaders also called for opening negotiations this year for a Reciprocal Defense Procurement (RDP) agreement to better align their procurement systems and enable the reciprocal supply of defense goods and services. The leaders pledged to accelerate defense technology cooperation across space, air defense, missile, maritime and undersea technologies, with the U.S. announcing a review of its policy on releasing fifth generation fighters and undersea systems to India.

Building on the U.S.-India Roadmap for Defense Industrial Cooperation and recognizing the rising importance of autonomous systems, the leaders announced a new initiative - the Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance (ASIA) - to scale industry partnerships and production in the Indo-Pacific. The leaders welcomed a new partnership between Anduril Industries and Mahindra Group on advanced autonomous technologies to co-develop and co-produce state-of-the-art maritime systems and advanced AI-enabled counter Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) to strengthen regional security, and between L3 Harris and Bharat Electronics for co-development of active towed array systems.

The leaders also pledged to elevate military cooperation across all domains – air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace – through enhanced training, exercises, and operations, incorporating the latest technologies. The leaders welcomed the forthcoming "Tiger Triumph” tri-service exercise (first inaugurated in 2019) with larger scale and complexity to be hosted in India.

Finally, the leaders committed to break new ground to support and sustain the overseas deployments of the U.S. and Indian militaries in the Indo-Pacific, including enhanced logistics and intelligence sharing, as well as arrangements to improve force mobility for joint humanitarian and disaster relief operations along with other exchanges and security cooperation engagements.

Trade and Investment

The leaders resolved to expand trade and investment to make their citizens more prosperous, nations stronger, economies more innovative and supply chains more resilient. They resolved to deepen the U.S.-India trade relationship to promote growth that ensures fairness, national security and job creation. To this end, the leaders set a bold new goal for bilateral trade – "Mission 500” – aiming to more than double total bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030.

Recognizing that this level of ambition would require new, fair-trade terms, the leaders announced plans to negotiate the first tranche of a mutually beneficial, multi-sector Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) by fall of 2025. The leaders committed to designate senior representatives to advance these negotiations and to ensure that the trade relationship fully reflects the aspirations of the COMPACT. To advance this innovative, wide-ranging BTA, the U.S. and India will take an integrated approach to strengthen and deepen bilateral trade across the goods and services sector, and will work towards increasing market access, reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers, and deepening supply chain integration.

The leaders welcomed early steps to demonstrate mutual commitment to address bilateral trade barriers. The United States welcomed India’s recent measures to lower tariffs on U.S. products of interest in the areas of bourbon, motorcycles, ICT products and metals, as well as measures to enhance market access for U.S. agricultural products, like alfalfa hay and duck meat, and medical devices. India also expressed appreciation for U.S. measures taken to enhance exports of Indian mangoes and pomegranates to the United States. Both sides also pledged to collaborate to enhance bilateral trade by increasing U.S. exports of industrial goods to India and Indian exports of labor-intensive manufactured products to the United States. The two sides will also work together to increase trade in agricultural goods.

Finally, the leaders committed to drive opportunities for U.S. and Indian companies to make greenfield investments in high-value industries in each other’s countries. In this regard, the leaders welcomed ongoing investments by Indian companies worth approximately $7.35 billion, such as those by Hindalco’s Novelis in finished aluminum goods at their state-of-the art facilities in Alabama and Kentucky; JSW in steel manufacturing operations at Texas and Ohio; Epsilon Advanced Materials in the manufacture of critical battery materials in North Carolina; and Jubilant Pharma in the manufacture of injectables in Washington. These investments support over 3,000 high-quality jobs for local families.
