There was a time when India’s space ambitions were seen as modest—important, yes, but not exactly headline-making. But things have changed. Today, ISRO isn’t just a technical agency; it's a source of national pride, scientific progress, and geopolitical relevance. And at the centre of this transformation lies something often overlooked: a clear and consistent push from the Indian government . This isn't just about sending rockets into the sky. It's about creating a framework—policy, investment, and education—that supports a long-term space ecosystem. And if the past few years are anything to go by, India is serious about claiming its place among the world’s most advanced spacefaring nations.   A Clear Shift in Priorities In the early days, ISRO’s focus was strictly utilitarian—remote sensing, weather updates, and basic communication services. Useful? Absolutely. But the scope was limited. It’s only in the last decade or so that space has become a core part of the g...

  When most people hear the word “microwave,” they think of the kitchen appliance that heats up leftovers. But in the world of engineering, microwave refers to something far more advanced and essential — a field that shapes how we connect, communicate, and share information at high speeds. Microwave engineering deals with the study and design of devices that operate in the microwave frequency range — usually between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. These waves play a key role in everything from satellite links and radar systems to 5G networks and remote sensing technology. As the world leans further into digital infrastructure, this once-niche area of electronics is gaining wider attention. Where Microwave Engineering Is Making Waves The push for faster internet, clearer communication, and smarter devices has turned microwave engineering into one of the unsung heroes of modern innovation. 5G and Beyond: The rollout of 5G networks depends heavily on millimeter-wave technology, w...

Talk of climate change often revolves around rising seas, melting glaciers, or soaring temperatures. But beneath the surface, quite literally, another transformation is taking place—one that poses a growing concern for engineers and builders across the globe. Soil, once considered relatively predictable, is starting to behave in ways we haven’t seen before. If you’ve been in construction or engineering long enough, you know that the stability of any structure depends on what liesbeneath it. But with changing rainfall patterns, longer dry spells, andshifting groundwater levels, even that foundation is now becoming less certain. Let’s dig into why. Dry One Day,Soaked the Next Soils don’t like extremes. When they get too dry,they shrink; when they take on too much water, they swell. Now imagine this happening again and again, every season. That’s what engineers are dealing with, especially in areas with clay-rich soils. These are the types that expand and contract like sponges depen...

It has been over four decades since India sent a citizen to space. In 1984, Rakesh Sharma etched his name into history. Now, in 2025, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla has reignited that sense of national awe by becoming the first Indian in 41 years to embark on a human spaceflight. But beyond the scientific marvels and aerospace headlines, his journey aboard the Axiom-4 mission tells a deeper story — one of emotion, identity, and cultural diplomacy. While the mission itself carried payloads for scientific study, it was the symbolic weight of the mission that captured public imagination — a white swan named Joy , a handcrafted statue of Ganesha, and a message that space exploration is as much about who we are as it is about where we go. Not Just a Mission — A Message Shubhanshu Shukla didn’t just represent Indian science or defense excellence; he embodied the hopes of a billion people. The astronaut, who goes by the nickname “Shux,” took flight aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon cap...

There was a time when a college degree was all one needed to land a good job. But things have changed. Today, employers want more than marks—they look for skills, experience, and the ability to adapt. While students sit through lectures and write exams, there’s often a missing link between what they study and what companies expect. This is where MoUs—or Memorandums of Understanding—are stepping in. These agreements between colleges and industry partners are opening new paths for students, giving them chances to learn beyond the textbook and prepare for life after college. Making Learning Relevant to the Real World Many companies today move faster than traditional syllabi can keep up with. Technologies change, new tools emerge, and business models evolve. Through MoUs, companies can work directly with colleges to fine-tune what students learn. This means students don’t just get theory—they also understand how that knowledge applies in the workplace. Think about how software comp...

India’s technology story is no longer just about one city or a few big names. It’s now a full-blown movement spreading across the country—led by buzzing cities, creative minds, and a fresh wave of energy in how we work with tech. For years, Bengaluru carried the crown as India’s IT capital. But now, many other cities are stepping up with their own stories. From Hyderabad to Pune, and even smaller towns like Indore and Bhubaneswar, the tech scene is expanding faster than ever before. A Growing Map of Innovation Let’s start with what’s happening outside Bengaluru. Hyderabad has quietly grown into a major name in fields like data analytics, AI, and cloud computing. Big players like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have large offices there—not just for customer service but for real innovation work. Pune, on the other hand, mixes education and industry in a smart way. It’s become a magnet for people who want to work in cybersecurity, enterprise software, and automation tools. And Chenn...
