Visited the "North Eastern Space Applications Centre" #NESAC) at Ri-BHOI, #Meghalaya. The Center, an affiliate of the #ISRO has, in recent years, evolved into a vital institution supporting both national strategic priorities and the socio-economic development of the North Eastern Region through the application of space technology.
NESAC is contributing to strategic geospatial mapping of the India-Myanmar border as well as inter-State boundaries in the Northeast, while simultaneously implementing a wide range of technology-driven projects in agriculture, disaster management, natural resource management, water resources and governance, thereby bringing the benefits of India's space programme closer to the people.
NESAC's growing engagement with North Eastern State Governments has enabled Space technology to become an effective tool for planning, governance, resource management and public service delivery in the region. For example, the Space technology-driven flood early warning system has immensely benefited the communities in vulnerable areas, while its GeoTourism 'ManzilNE' dashboard acts as a guide for visiting tourists and also facilitates greater participation of the tourism sector, including the private tour operators.
Strengthening polar science cooperation!
The National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (@ncaor_goa ), under the @moesgoi, has signed a five-year MoU with the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, to advance collaboration in Antarctic and polar research.
The partnership will promote joint research, academic exchange, climate studies, ocean sciences, polar biodiversity, and technology development, reinforcing India’s commitment to global scientific cooperation and a deeper understanding of the polar regions.

#Shillong: North Eastern Region has witnessed an unprecedented expansion of scientific infrastructure during the last decade, correcting decades of neglect despite the region's strategic importance and unique geographical challenges.
For example, before 2014, the entire North East had only two weather radars, including just one in Meghalaya, despite its Cherrapunji town recording the world's highest rainfall. Today, the region has 13 weather radars. Likewise, the number of seismological observatories has increased from 84 before 2014 to 171 at present, while specialised lightning detection stations, which did not exist earlier in the region, have now been established in Meghalaya and Tripura.
Not only this, adequate care has been taken for mainstreaming of the North-Eastern Region by exposing the youth and students to the avenues of #StartUp available elsewhere in the country. For instance, "North East Centre for Technology Application & Research" NECTAR's STEM Education initiative promotes experiential learning through robotics, coding, artificial intelligence, 3D printing and innovation-based activities among school students and has, so far, set up STEM laboratories across five North Eastern States in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, benefiting over 25,000 students, particularly in remote and interior areas.

Walked through the "Mobile Food Processing Unit" and interacted with beneficiary farmers at the ‘North East Centre for Technology Application & Reach” #NECTAR #Shillong, #Meghalaya, along with Director General, NECTAR, Dr. Arun Kumar Sarma and others.
The innovative initiative is empowering farmers through value addition, improved processing, and technology-driven interventions for a variety of organic fruit and vegetable based food recipes, with market potential.
Arrived at “North East Centre for Technology Application & Reach” #NECTAR #Shillong, a premier institute mandated to extend technology outreach to all the North Eastern States.
Thanks for the warm welcome by the Director General, NECTAR, Dr. Arun Kumar Sharma, Heads of S&T Institutions and senior faculty members.
आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी द्वारा आरंभ किए गए #एक_पेड़_माँ_के_नाम अभियान के अंतर्गत आज #NECTOR#Shillong में अपनी माताजी के नाम से पौधारोपण करने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ एवं सभी से इस अभियान में शामिल होने की अपील की।
My Inaugural Address at the 2-day “National Conference on Governance” at #Shillong, #Meghalaya.
Key Takeaways:
“After over a decade of path-breaking administrative reforms and the removal of nearly 2,000 obsolete rules, India now enters the next phase of governance transformation through ‘Next Generation Administrative and e-Governance Reforms’.
Future reforms would need to integrate Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, digital public infrastructure and citizen-centric service platforms to build an agile, technology-driven governance ecosystem capable of meeting the aspirations of common citizens.
Technology evolution is happening at a very fast speed and therefore, the pace of technology driven reform would also require to speed up, in the true spirit of what PM Sh @narendramodi describes as “Reform Express”.
With the Modi Government’s special focus on Northeast, it is important to mention that the Department of Administrative Reforms, Govt of India, has proposed ‘State Collaboration Initiatives’ and is ready to offer all assistance to the Govt of Meghalaya and other North Eastern State Governments to develop modern infrastructure with digital governance and long-term administrative planning”.

An outstanding performance by our youngsters!
Congratulations to the Indian contingent of Kanishk Jain, Riddhesh Anant Bendale, Rishit Garg, Shresth Suraiya and Svarit Joshi for winning Gold Medals at the 56th International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2026 held in Bucaramanga, Colombia.
Their feat reflects yet another example of the limitless potential of our Yuva Shakti and their passion towards science and research. Equally commendable is the fact that in the last decade, our students have performed exceptionally well in the various editions of this platform.
