In the bustling city of Kolkata, a unique neighborhood named Kumartuli comes alive with artistry. For generations, artisans here have been creating idols for cultural practices, shaping the cultural identity of Bengal and beyond.
Located in the northern lanes of Kolkata, Kumartuli is a significant center for Bengal's artistry. The idols created here are imbued with the soul of tradition, with artisans breathing life into them using their hands and wet clay. These idols are an essential part of cultural practices and have travelled from Bengal to the world, making Kumartuli a neighborhood that continues to shape culture and tradition through its craft.
Meanwhile, India is steering the global race to cut emissions through bold policies and homegrown innovation in the field of electric vehicles (EVs). More Indians are switching to EVs, not just as transport, but as a lifestyle, fueling massive growth for EV makers in India. This surge in demand for EVs is turning the nation into a global hub for green technology, a key aspect of India's efforts to cut emissions.
The clean mobility revolution in India, driven by bold policies and homegrown innovation, is a testament to India's commitment to sustainability. This commitment is also reflected in India's recent engagement with the Global South, with a focus on trade, connectivity, and shared development.
Recently, the prime minister of Fiji visited India to explore deeper cooperation in areas like climate resilience, renewable energy, and capacity building. Fiji has become a key partner for India in its Global South vision, focusing on trade, connectivity, and shared development. This visit underscores India's role as a key partner for Pacific Island nations in these crucial areas.
Innovation is also at the forefront of India's self-reliant future. Young innovators from IIT Kanpur have made significant contributions to India's future independence in robotics, space, charging technology, and cybersecurity through startups incubated at the C3iHub innovation center. Recent breakthrough products from these startups include kamikaze drones for GPS-denied environments, high-altitude solar-powered unmanned aircraft for surveillance, and national-scale cyber threat intelligence platforms to counter fraud and phishing. IIT Kanpur's role in strengthening India's cyber defense and tech innovation ecosystem is undeniable.
In conclusion, India's progress is a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation. From the artisans in Kumartuli breathing life into centuries-old traditions to young innovators driving India's self-reliant future, India is truly a land where the old and the new coexist harmoniously. As India continues to prioritise stronger engagement with the Global South and invest in green technology, it is clear that the nation is poised to lead the way in sustainable development and technological innovation.
