    Quantum Communication

    Context

  • India has successfully demonstrated quantum secure communication using quantum entanglement over free space by the DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE), IIT Delhi.

    • Quantum Communication

  • Quantum communication uses quantum physics, especially quantum entanglement, to create ultra-secure channels for sending information.

    Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) with Insect-Based Livestock Feed

    Context

  • In light of growing concerns over antibiotic overuse in animal husbandry, India is advancing insect-based feed innovations through ICAR-led partnerships to create AMR-resilient food systems.
