Noticeable structural break can be seen post-2014, shifting from an average cadence of 1.9 launches/year to 7.1 launches/year, marking a profitable decade in ISROs journey.

Noticed this in the PM cares fund, they used a whopping 22.5 LAKHS as bank and sms charges in FY24 but next year it came down to JUST 451 RUPEES?

How big a scam is this or an accounting error?

My Commentary: Tamil Nadu got more than half of the jobs and investment, but it would be treated as a reflection of Tamil Nadu’s own capabilities. You will see no outrage from other states; no one will cry that they have been wronged. Neither Kannadigas nor Gujaratis. The Opposition will continue to call out the BJP for jeopardizing investments in other states.

When Karnataka or Tamil Nadu receives investment, it is attributed to their own capabilities. When Gujarat does, it is attributed to central favours. Yet no one is ready to acknowledge that Gujarat and Assam provided the most capital support, access to water, an ecosystem, or power support, had a comprehensive Semiconductor policy before anyone.
