Subedar Major Yogendra Singh Yadav: Naariyon ke sindoor ka badla Hindustan ki fauj ne liya hai!
India's youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee, Subedar Major (Honorary Captain) Yogendra Singh Yadav, has lauded Operation Sindoor as a decisive act of justice for the families of innocents killed in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, 'Hindustan ki naariyon ka sindoor joh un (terrorists) ne ujada tha – jo humari naariyon ka prateek aur shaurya hai – uss sindoor ka badla Hindustan ki fauj ne liya hai, unke ghar mein ghus ke. Operation Sindoor ke tehet Pakistan ke ghuspatiyon ko jhannum pahaunchaya hai (Terrorists have been served right). Deshhat unke terrorist groups and Pakistan ki fauj mein bhi fel gayi hai,' he says.

Yadav is the youngest recipient of Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military honour, and stands firm in his belief that the nation is prepared for any retaliatory strikes. With unwavering confidence, he states: 'Our entire Army, Air Force, Navy and all Indian citizens stand united, and we are ready to give a befitting reply to any reaction from the other side. Our Humari fauj saksham hai, har cheez ka muqabla karne ke liye.'
Contrary to any misleading reports, Yadav says that the safety of civilians remains paramount in every military operation and the same was the case in Operation Sindoor. 'Humein sirf terrorist ko khatm karna hai, civilians ko nahi. That is why it can take time to prepare for such operations… Poori reiki ki jaati hai taki bilkul koi bhi civilians ko koi nuksaan na ho, koi bhi civilian ki jaan na jaaye. Suraksha ka poora dhyaan rakhkar planning ki jati hai,' he adds.
The Kargil War veteran also emphasises upon the crucial role that civilians play in the face of such military operations. He opines: 'As civilians, yeh waqt saath milkar ek doosre ka support karne ki hai. I urge all citizens to sincerely take part in mock drills, and follow all instructions by the government. Koi negativity na felayein, panic karne ki bilkul bhi zarurat nahi... Bas positivity se ek doosre ka saath dein, aur ek doosre ko apni suraksha karne mein saksham karein.'

Local electronics parts vendors plan non-Chinese JVs
Indian electronics companies are seeking partnerships. They are looking at South Korean, Taiwanese, and Japanese firms. This is for electronics component manufacturing.

Remove Ads Kolkata: As the deadline for submitting applications for the electronics component manufacturing scheme draws near, home-grown contract manufacturers such as Dixon Technologies Epack Durable , Micromax's Bhagwati Products and Optiemus are finalising most of their proposals with South Korean, Taiwanese and Japanese companies as equity partners, CEOs of these Indian firms development is significant as China was the largest sourcing market for products and parts, as well as partnerships and JVs till now. Their decision stems from India's tough stand against Chinese FDI, which needs multi-ministerial nod under Press Note 3 move could also be attributed to continued business related conflicts such as the neighbouring country's rare earth magnet export curbs imposed on India, among other Press Note 3 norms were issued after the border clashes with China in 2020. Since then only a handful of large Chinese companies have received such clearances.'There is no denying that China is far ahead in large-scale component technology manufacturing, but we are careful about the government stand, as not just the initial investment will need government clearance, but even the subsequent ones. Such clearances will take a lot of time, impact our plans and incentive payout under the scheme,' said a CEO of one of the largest players in the industry.'So, wherever we have found the technology in Taiwan and South Korea, we would use that while for others we are still dependent on China. But we are trying to negotiate for a technical alliance or a minority shareholding with them,' he said, requesting Enterprises will put in Rs 4,000 crore application under component manufacturing scheme which will be invested through the tenure of the scheme, CEO Jasbir Singh part of a joint venture with South Korea's Korea Circuit, a Rs 3,000 crore application for manufacturing of high density interface and semiconductor substrates and a Rs 1,000 crore application for printed circuit board manufacturing will be submitted, said Singh.

Peacetime is nothing but ‘illusion', must remain prepared for uncertainty: Rajnath Singh
Defence minister Rajnath Singh at the Controllers Conference of the Defence Accounts Department in New Delhi on Monday NEW DELHI: Hailing the armed forces for the valour they displayed during Operation Sindoor post the Pahalgam terror attack , defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday that 'peace time is an illusion and India must remain prepared for any uncertainty'. The defence minister praised the armed forces for Operation Sindoor but said the larger geopolitical situation leaves no scope for complacency in the effort to enhance preparedness. 'A single delay or error in financial processes can directly affect operational preparedness,' said the minister while addressing the Controllers Conference of the Defence Accounts Department (DAD). Talking about rising demand for desi weapons of late, Rajnath said, 'The world is looking at our defence sector with new respect. Operation Sindoor has boosted global demand for our indigenous armaments. Most of the equipment we once imported is now being made in India. Our reforms are succeeding because of the clarity of vision and commitment at the highest level. Sudden developments can force a complete shift in our financial and operational posture. ' The minister spoke in the presence of Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Navy chief Admiral Dinesh K. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Tripathi, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh and defence secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh at the conference. The govt has over the past few years allowed the armed forces to procure arms and ammunition through the 'emergency' route. Post-Operation Sindoor, it cleared a range of acquisitions for the armed forces. The armed forces have consistently complained, often publicly, about acquisitions being delayed because of the rigid approach of the bureaucracy and auditors. Rajnath called on DAD to evolve from a 'controller' to a 'facilitator' in sync with increasing participation of the private sector in defence. He praised DAD's new motto 'Alert, Agile, Adaptive' and noted that these are not mere words, but a reflection of the work culture required in today's rapidly evolving defence environment. 'Whether it's stepping up equipment production or adapting financial processes, we must be ready with innovative techniques and responsive systems at all times,' the minister said. Citing the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute report, which said global military expenditure reached $2.7 trillion in 2024, Rajnath said, 'This opens up tremendous opportunities for India's indigenous defence industries.' The minister also said that gone were the days when expenditure in the defence sector was only considered necessary and never viewed as an economic catalyst. 'Now, it is being seen as a spending which has a multiplier impact on the economy,' he said. 'Earlier, there was no assessment of the economic impact of expenditure on security but things have changed now when investment in re-armament is rising exponentially. We need to pay special attention to defence economics,' he said. Singh said India, along with the rest of the world, is entering a new phase of re-armament, marked by capital-intensive investments in the defence sector. He called upon DAD to incorporate defence economics in their planning and assessments, including social impact analysis of R&D projects and dual-use technologies. Highlighting the increasing strategic and economic significance of the defence sector, Rajnath called for a shift in perception from defence spending as mere expenditure to an economic investment with multiplier impact. 'Until recently, defence budgets were not seen as part of the national economy. Today, they are growth drivers,' he said.
