India's semiconductor mission paves way for digital sovereignty: Experts
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills India's semiconductor mission paves way for digital sovereignty and will take the country towards self-sufficiency in chips that have use in a wide array of applications, including CCTV cameras, mobile networks, satellites, cars, and smart devices, experts have said that the central government's initiative lays the groundwork for India to become self-reliant across the entire digital technology stack -- from chip manufacturing to artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud applications. All mission-critical digital infrastructure, whether related to artificial intelligence or cloud computing -- fundamentally depends on semiconductor chips."When you are talking about a completely digital sovereignty, it starts at the chip level. Whether it is a complete AI stack or a complete cloud stack on which any mission-critical applications of government or enterprises run, it always starts from the ground level, which is the chip. From chip level, we end up making equipment," Sunil Gupta, Chair, ASSOCHAM National Council on Datacenter, told ANI on the sidelines of an event 'Sovereign Tech for India's Digital Transformation'. The event was organised by ASSOCHAM."Chips form the base, leading to the development of equipment, operating systems, datasets, models, and ultimately, applications. You start making operating systems, then you run in case of AI examples. You have data sets and then you have models and then you have applications. The government understands this whole stack, which needs to be completely owned by India. At the chip level, India has created a semiconductor mission so that India can design, fabricate, assemble and package its own chips in India itself," Gupta told India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) is aimed at ensuring full ownership of this stack. The mission aims to enable domestic capabilities in chip design, fabrication, assembly, and packaging."The semiconductor mission and the government's emphasis on it is a step in the very right direction. It is at the route of becoming a sovereign nation in terms of digital infrastructure," Gupta said."Starting has been done maybe with chips of 28 nanometers, but I am very sure once this mission starts, we will start manufacturing the most high-end two and three-nanometre chips also. As the Minister of IT also announced that within five years India can also expect its indigenous GPU, which is real sovereignty at the grassroots you are not dependent on a chip which is designed in the US and manufactured in Taiwan. India will be able to design and manufacture chips in India itself," he also spoke about India's efforts to widen its sources of rare earth metals amid export curbs by China."Prime Minister visited countries in Latin America and Africa recently.... India will have to be self-dependent on rare earth metals as these are used in manufacturing electronics products. This is another aspect on which the government is very serious about," he Pillai, founding member of Bharath Cloud, emphasised the significance of Digital India."It is an economic and security story and having everything in house is very important. Having everything on our own soil and working on our own terms is extremely important for us to grow and innovate. India is focused in the area," she Programme for Development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem in India was notified in December 2021 with a total outlay of Rs. 76,000 Union Cabinet had in May this year approved establishment of one more semiconductor unit under India Semiconductor semiconductor units are in advanced stages of construction. The unit approved in Uttar Pradesh is a joint venture of HCL and Foxconn. This plant will manufacture display driver chips for mobile phones, laptops, automobiles, PCs, and myriad of other devices that have plant is designed for 20,000 wafers per month. The design output capacity is 36 million units per and entrepreneurs in 270 academic institutions and 70 startups are working on world class latest design technologies for developing new products. Twenty products developed by the students of these academic students have been taped out by SCL Mohali.

Padmakumar E.S. is the new director of Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota
Padmakumar E.S. has taken charge as the director of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota (SDSC SHAR). Prior to this posting, he was director of the ISRO Inertial Systems Unit (IISU) at Vattiyoorkavu, Thiruvananthapuram. As the new director of SDSC SHAR, Mr. Padmakumar succeeds A. Rajarajan, who has moved to the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram, as its director. Mr. Padmakumar is joining the spaceport at a time when ISRO is gearing up for the missions as part of the Gaganyaan programme and launches from industries. At IISU, Mr. Padmakumar was leading the development of high-accuracy navigation sensors such as Hemispherical Resonant Gyro and other inertial systems. The navigation systems for Chandrayaan-3 were developed by his team. He also led the robotics activities including the India's first space robotics arm, RRMTD (Relocatable Robotic Manipulator Technology Development) which flew on the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM-4) mission. Mr. Padmakumar joined VSSC in 1986 and has held several important positions including Group Director, Deputy Director, and Associate Director. A native of Moorkanikara, Thrissur, Mr. Padmakumar is an alumnus of the College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram, and the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. His wife Radha R.K. is a senior scientist and division head at Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanical Garden and Research Institute, Palode. Their daughter, Medha Padmakumar, is an electronics engineer.
