India is no longer just a follower on the global stage; it is now leading in multiple fields, including space exploration, biotechnology, nuclear energy, and scientific research. Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology, Earth Sciences, and Minister of State for PMO, made this bold assertion during a recent address, highlighting India’s remarkable advancements and rising prominence in the world of science and technology.

India’s space sector has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. With ambitious missions and successful international collaborations, India has positioned itself as a key player in space exploration. The Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), part of India’s growing technological capabilities, is paving the way for future missions such as Gaganyaan, Chandrayaan-4, and the Bharatiya Antariksh Station—India’s forthcoming international space station.
