Recruitment for Disabled in Madhya Pradesh Halted
Madhya Pradesh has a 6% reservation for disabled people in government departments, but no recruitment is taking place. In the last two years alone, around 250 people have obtained jobs by using fake certificates. These are only the individuals who were caught during investigations.
DRDO Escape System Test Successful
The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has successfully conducted a high-speed rocket-sled test for an escape system used in fighter aircraft. This is the technology that allows a pilot to safely eject from an aircraft in emergency situations. According to DRDO, this test was conducted at controlled speeds to evaluate the canopy severance, ejection sequence, and the aircrew recovery process in real-world conditions.
India Achieves Milestone in Escape System Testing
The DRDO test was carried out at the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory, Chandigarh, a world-class facility known for dynamic testing of defence systems. With this successful test, India is now among the select nations capable of conducting dynamic evaluations of escape systems for aircraft in real conditions, a capability that is far more complex than static tests like net tests or zero-gee tests.
