AP cabinet, headed by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has finally resolved to announce the capital of Andhra Pradesh. It is going to be developed around Vijayawada on the banks of river Krishna.

It may be recalled that the state had been divided by creating a new state of Telangana,  and the state of Andhra Pradesh remained without capital for over 6 months. The existing capital of AP (Hyderabad) had been announced as the capital of Telangana.

Vijayawada, along with Guntur, Tenali, and Mangalagiri (called VGTM) is going to form the new capital of Andhra Pradesh. The whole region is likely to be part of greater Vijayawada.

The state is still looking at the center for implementing the promises that it had agreed to while dividing the state. Most notable among these are:

1. Financial help in the development of new state capital

2. Declaration of residual state of AP with Special Ss, which means that the companies enjoy tax holiday for a pre-determined period of time (about 5 to 10 years).

3. Special package to backward districts in AP

4. Completion of Polavaram Dam

however, no significant funds have been allocated for so far for development of state by the Modi government so far.  Also, the special status is still pending. It remains to be seen whether the AP govt will succeed in getting required resources and assistance for the central government to fulfill its promises to the people of AP.

Good luck!

2. Visited Bhutan for improving bilateral trade and cultural relations.

3. Presented first budget,in which he contemplated smart cities, and bullet trains.

4. Visited Japan for investments in India and exchange of cultural activities. Japan promised to invest up to 35 billion USD in India during next 5 years.

5. Expedited road and rail constructions in border areas to improve movement of army personnel, and civilians in border areas.

6. Chinese premier will be visiting next week with a proposal to set up technology parks in Ahmadabad and Pune, with investment up to 7 billions.

7. The GDP of the country seen a small improvement during the first 3 months of this FY 2014-15, which may be primarily distributable to Modi sentiment.

There are great expectations from Modi government, and it is generally believed that the economic, social, and defense areas are going to be strengthened over the next few years.

Good luck!

India Successfully Fires GeoSynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle with Indigenous Cryo Engine.

Pin It

GSLV-1

The figure shows the GSLV D5 launch just a few seconds after ignition. GSLV is a three stage vehicle, 49 m tall with 414 t lift off weight. It is capable of placing satellites weighing 2-2.5 tons into geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO)

On January 5, 2014, India successfully launched it’s rocket to put a 2000+ KG satellite in geosynchronous orbit. So, what is so special about it? To answer this question, we need to go back in time. The entire space program had started in early 80′ where the actual planning took place. India contemplated to achieve mastery over space technology in four stages over a period of 15 years. The various steps involved are:

  1. SLV (Simple firing of a Satellite Launch Vehicle)
  2. ASLV (Short for Augmented Satellite launch Vehicle)
  3. PSLV (Short for Polar Satellite launch Vehicle) – objective is to put sun synchronous satellites in orbit
  4. finally, GSLV (Short for GeoSynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) – to put communication satellites in a Earch Stationary Orbit.

We had developed and achieved self sufficiency in the first 3 categories of satellites fairly quickly, and almost as per the planned schedules. India had sought the help of USSR (then) in mastering the GSLV technology, as it requires putting a satellite in an orbit that is 36,000 KM above earth, and requires a technology, known as Cryogenic Engine Technology and uses liquid Orxygen and liquid Hydrogen at temperatures far below normal temperatures. Russia (Formerly USSR) agreed to initially supply a few engines and then deliver the technology (technology transfer) in stages. However, after supplying 2 or 3 engines, Russia gone back on their promise under extreme pressure from other developed nations. Under these circumstances, coupled with sanctions from USA and other countries against supply of any space related components or technology to India, India was left all alone with very few friends to rely on.

The success is not without failures. Several missions with indigenous and imported engines had failed, with many people doubting whether India could achieve this mile stone at all! Originally, India’s self reliance in launching GSLV rocket was supposed to be achieved by 1995. However, given the circumstances, the indigenous development had been delayed significantly due to failures in perfecting the Cryo engine technology.

Hearty congratulations to Dr. K. Radhakrishnan and his team for successful launch of GSLV D5. India is looking forward to many more such achievements from our distinguished scientists and technocrats!
