A much-needed move. India must go beyond mining by building robust research, processing, and manufacturing ecosystems. #Budget2026
The government will develop Rare Earth Corridors across four coastal states; Kerala, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. These corridors will help India make permanent magnets that are essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy equipment, and defence technology. The goal is to reduce dependence on imports, end supply control by a few countries, and move India closer to Aatmanirbhar Bharat in critical materials. #ViksitBharatBudget

Three India Forest Service (2017 Batch) Probationers called on me today. During our interaction I asked them to work on making plantation a fashion among the people of the state and encourage them to protect the biodiversity of the state.
