India’s ambitious underground neutrino observatory was supposed to be built in the Bodi Hills in Tamil Nadu's Western Ghats. Scientists involved call it a missed opportunity for India now.
The first groundbreaking finding was in 1965, with the world’s first atmospheric neutrino detection. Since the labs began closing in 1993, efforts to advance research have failed.
IAF is firming up plans to revamp airlift capabilities with medium transport aircraft that will be assembled in India & serve as its main workhorse. Embraer is leading contender as of now.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
