The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved another leap in its quest for self-reliance in space, successfully launching the heaviest communication satellite ever lifted from Indian soil using its formidable heavy-lift rocket, the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3). Affectionately nicknamed ‘Bahubali’ for its sheer power, the LVM3-M5 mission placed the critical 4,410 kg CMS-03 spacecraft into a precise Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

GenomeIndia is an ambitious national initiative launched in January 2020, funded by India's Department of Biotechnology. The project aims to sequence 10,000 genomes from healthy individuals across the country. GenomeIndia's main objective is to compile a comprehensive catalogue of the genetic variations unique to India's diverse population. This initiative goes beyond merely decoding genes; it seeks to create a detailed reference of the genetic makeup to enhance our understanding of this diversity.
