The Department of Ocean Development (DOD)was created in Jul,
1981. In 1982, the Government of India issued the Ocean Policy
Statement in whichcontrol, management and utilization of the
internalresources available in the sea and development
ofappropriate technologies to harness these resourceshave been
emphasized. From March 1982, the DODhas been functioning as a
separate nodaldepartment in line with the Ocean Policy Statementof

Of IndiaAryabhatta was the first satellite launched by India. It
was named after the great Indian astronomer of the same name.
Aryabhatta weighed 360kg and was launched by the Soviet Union on
April 19, 1975 from Kapustin Yar using a Cosmos-3M launch
vehicle.
The satellite had following objectives:To indigenously design
and fabricate a space-worthy satellite system and evaluate its
perfromance in orbit.To evolve the methodology of conducting a
series of complex operations on the satellite in its orbital
phase.To set up ground-based receiving, transmitting and tracking
systems.To establish infrastructure for the fabrication of
spacecraft systems.Aryabhatta carried experiments related to X-Ray
Astronomy, Solar Physics and Aeronomy. The satellite re-entered the
Earth's atmosphere on 11 February 1992.
Indian DefenceIndian defence force is the third largest defence
force in the world after USA and China. Indian armed forces defend
the vast land, water and aerial borders of India and are renowned
for their courage and valour. Indian defence forces have shown
their in India as well as abroad. Indian armed forces have raised
the country's honour in UN Peacekeeping Missions and have impressed
everyone with their professionalism and discipline. Here are some
interesting facts about Indian defence.
India's First Nuclear ReactorIndia's First Nuclear Reactor was
Apsara. It was also the first nuclear reactor in Asia. Apsara went
critical at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Trombay on August
4, 1956. It heralded the arrival of India's nuclear energy
programme. Dr. Homi Bhabha himself conceptualised the design of the
reactor and the reactor was built entirely by Indian engineers in a
record time of about 15 months.
Apsara is a swimming-pool-type reactor loaded with enriched
uranium as fuel. The fuel core is suspended from a movable trolley
in a pool filled with water. The pool water serves as coolant,
moderator and reflector, besides providing the shielding.
EducationIn higher studies the IIT's AIIMS and IIM's of India
could compete with the best institutions of the world. Recently
Times Higher Education Supplement ranked the IIT's as 3rd in all
Technological Universities of the world. Seeing the enormous talent
of Indian students the European Union has announced 100 Erasmus
Mundus Scholarship for Indian's students which was previously
offered to European students only. In scientific, technological and
bio medical research India has made a mark. The launching of EDUSAT
- a satellite purely for educational purposes marks a great lead
forward in the area of satellite education. Space technology has
also got a boost. Culturally India is witnessing a great
renaissance. Indian music, dance and various performing art have
blossomed in the last 50 years. Now these have greater audience and
their appeal is becoming universal. Language of India has seen
resurgence. Indian writing in English, like that of Arundhati Roy,
Jhumpa Lahiri etc has been acclaimed in the English speaking
world.
SportsIt is often said that we may only be a small race, but
theres divinity in our cricket. Since the inception of this game,
it has come a long way. With hosts of events taking place, the game
of Cricket has developed at every stage. Cricket in the 21st
Century is a modernized version of what our forefathers have played
during the late 18th century, 19th century and even the 20th
century.

EntertainmentIn the field of entertainment also India is
shining. Shekhar Kapoor, Amitabh Bacchan, Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh
Khan are the bright Indian faces in the world arena. All the above
mentioned points emphatically proves that India's achievement in
the last 60 years has been commendable.
