Noida, 30 Aug (HS): On Saturday evening,

India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath inaugurated the Raphe mPhibr Pvt Ltd. This company manufactures

drones, unmanned aerial vehicle engines and other systems for the Indian armed

forces and police forces. The drones made by this company were used by the army

during Operation Sindoor. Speaking on this occasion, India's Defense Minister

Rajnath Singh said that today the defense of every country depends on

technology and drones. He said that India is moving fast in this

direction.

He said that earlier we had to import

drones from outside, but today we are making drones ourselves. He said that

many industrialists of India are playing a part in our progress. He said that

earlier the power revolved around land, but after the 80s industry became the

economic center. Now the center of the economic system has shifted from

industry to technology. He said that a new face of imperialism has emerged in

the world. Earlier there was empire on money and land, but now it is dependent

on knowledge and technology. He said that India has always treaded on the

policy to take everyone along. He said that India will have to work more in

technology and innovation to ensure its share in the world. Only through this

we can ensure our interests and contribute to the world.

He said that earlier there was no

environment for setting up industries in Uttar Pradesh. Industries did not have

security amidst goons and miscreants. Crime, hooliganism, extortion,

blackmailing and many more challenges were faced by the entrepreneurs of Uttar

Pradesh. But today I would like to say with confidence that under the

leadership of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh is

rapidly moving towards industrialization. This state is becoming the identity

of new thinking and new policies for law and order. An eco-system of startups

is being set up here. Investors are coming, goons are vanishing. He said that

the kind of enthusiasm seen in Uttar Pradesh was not seen in any other state.

He said that industries like IT Park, Aerospace, Film City are being

established in Noida. All these changes will give a new look to Uttar Pradesh

in the future. He said that this period is a new and golden chapter for the

entire Uttar Pradesh. He said that usually on hearing the word aircraft, the

image of a fighter plane comes to our ears. He said that but in today's era,

drones have played a big role in the aerospace sector. Today drones are being

used even in those places where big equipment cannot reach.

He said that drones were used

extensively in the war between Russia and Ukraine. He said that it is very

important to understand the importance of drones in today's era. He said that

the history of drones is very interesting. He said that in the early days,

drones were being used for surveillance and investigation. Later, some

countries started using drones to fight on the borders. The countries which

invested in technology have made huge progress in this field. India's Defense

Minister Rajnath Singh said that Noida is playing a leading role everywhere.

Noida is at the forefront of all the innovations taking place today. He said

that in the times to come, Noida will play an even stronger role in the

country's development. He said that the experience I am having after coming

here is completely different and new. He said I like very much the technical

development being done by the youth in the country.

Speaking on this occasion, Uttar Pradesh

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the country has been facing various

types of challenges continuously since 1947. Operation Sindoor ushered in a new

phase of war. It made the world realize India's strength and power. But it has

also given many such opportunities and chances to open the eyes of all of us, which

has given us a new inspiration to struggle and face the challenges of the

future. He said that we have to prepare ourselves in the same way. This is the

need of the hour. He said that we all know that the world bows down to the one

who has power. He said that when there will be coordination between Shastra and

Shaastra, then the nation will be powerful. He said that when the nation is

powerful, the enemy will come appealing for peace. He said that we have given

lakhs of acres of land at many places in Uttar Pradesh for the Defense

Corridor. Defense equipment is being made in Uttar Pradesh. He said that

Lucknow has become the center of Brahmos missile. He said that the smile of

Lucknow was incomplete until the sound of the missile from there reached the

ears of the enemy. He said that when Brahmos demonstrated its capability in

Operation Sindoor, the pride of the country and Uttar Pradesh increased.
