In a push for self-reliance, India is developing the Electric Hansa (E-Hansa), a next-generation, two-seater electric trainer aircraft at nearly half the cost of imported models. Science and Technology Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, after a high-level review meeting, praised the CSIR-NAL, Bengaluru, for its indigenous development under the HANSA-3 (NG) program. He also lauded ISRO for the successful SPADEX mission and its role in Operation Sindoor. Notably, Group Captain Subhash Shukla will conduct seven microgravity experiments during the Axiom Space Mission.
