The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave its approval to various significant decisions on Friday, including the rechristening of Ayodhya Airport as ‘Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhyadham’. Prime Minister Modi highlighted the Cabinet’s endorsement of the ‘PRITHvi VIgyan’ scheme, designed to offer flexibility in research and fund allocation across five sub-schemes related to earth sciences over a five-year period.
Furthermore, the Cabinet approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India and Mauritius for the collaborative development of a satellite, set to be launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in early 2025.
