India ranks among global leaders in quantum technology, says Science Minister

Science Minister Jitendra Singh has stated that India now stands alongside leading nations in quantum technology and advanced manufacturing. He highlighted that technology and artificial intelligence have broadened access to education and opportunities across the country. India's space mission Chandrayaan, which detected water molecules on the Moon, was cited as a demonstration of the nation's scientific capabilities. The opening of the space and nuclear sectors to private players has accelerated growth in both industries. Singh noted that this reflects India's rapid pace of progress in technology and manufacturing.
