The Achievements of India in the field of Science and Technology

India has been the most famous country in the world since ancient times, however, after its slavery, India lost its identity and strength. After achieving independence in 1947, India has started reclaiming its lost strength and identity in the crowd. It was only science and technology, which has given India its true identity throughout the world.

India has now become a rapidly developing country through its new inventions in the field of science and advanced technology.

Scientific revolutions caught their full speed in the 20th century and became even more advanced in the 21st century

Some of Major achievements that India made from last century till day

1. Development of an atomic clock has made ISRO one of the few space organizations in the world to have gained this sophisticated technology. ISRO has developed an atomic clock that will be used in navigation satellites to measure precise location data

2.A team of Indian astronomers has discovered an extremely large supercluster of galaxies. This is one of the largest known structures in the neighborhood of the universe - as big as 20 million billion suns. It is a path-breaking discovery and the cluster has been named 'Saraswati'.

3. ISRO demonstrated its capability of handling complex missions by successfully launching a record 104 satellites on a single rocket. This is the highest number of satellites ever launched in a single mission by any other country in the world

4. Aryabhatta - the first unmanned satellite built by India was a breakthrough achievement in India's space programme. Aryabhata was built by the Indian Space Research Organization to conduct experiments in X-ray astronomy, aeronomics, and solar physics and opened new possibilities for ISRO

5. The Mars Orbiter Mission made India the only nation in the world to reach Mars in its first attempt. Mangalyaan-1, the indigenously built space probe marked India's first venture into the interplanetary space. It also made India first in Asia, and fourth in the world to reach the surface of Mars

India is a land where numerous brilliant brains have made contribution in the field of science and technology and enhanced its position around the globe.

To name few brilliant brains, these people has contributed in field of since and technology.

C.V. Raman was one of the most famous scientists of India as ever produced.

Vikram Sarabhai was among distinguished scientists of India. He is considered as the Father of the Indian space program.

Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya was a notable Indian engineer

Dr APJ Abdul Kalam is remembered as a great scientist, an inspirational leader and an extraordinary human being.

India is a beautiful country and I love my country and I also feel blessed to be its part.

Compare and contrast the natural vegetation of Haryana with Telangana state

Natural vegetation refers to a plant community, which has grown naturally without human aid and has been left undisturbed by humans for a long time. This is termed as a virgin vegetation. Thus, cultivated crops and fruits, orchards form part of vegetation but not natural vegetation

Vegetation of Telangana

Telangana is situated largely in an upland region of the Deccan (peninsular India). Much of its surface area is occupied by the Telangana Plateau in the north and the Golconda Plateau in the south

Drainage is dominated by the basins of the Godavari River in the north and the Krishna River in the south. As a result of erosion, the topography of the plateau region consists of graded valleys with red sandy soil and isolated hills. Black soil is also found in certain parts of the area.

Telangana has three seasons: summer, from March to June; a period of tropical rains from July to September; and winter, from October to February.

Thorny vegetation covers the scattered hills of the plateau areas, while dense woodlands are found in the northeast along and near the Godavari River. The forests, covering about one-fourth of the land area, consist of both moist deciduous and dry savanna vegetation; teak, rosewood, wild fruit trees, and bamboo are plentiful. Elsewhere in the state, neem (which produces an aromatic oil), banyan, mango, and pipal (or Bo; Ficusreligiosa) are among the common trees.

The type of forests met within Telangana are Tropical moist deciduous forests, Southern dry deciduous forests, Northern mixed dry deciduous forests, Dry savannah forests and Tropical dry evergreen scrub.
Animal life includes tigers, blackbucks, hyenas, sloth bears, gaurs, and chital, which abound in the hills and forest areas. There are also hundreds of species of birds, including flamingos and pelicans. Telangana is home to some two dozen national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and protected areas, including two tiger reserves that adjoin similar facilities in neighboring states.

Vegetation of Haryana

Haryana does not have much area under forest cover - most of its land (80%) is under cultivation - but it still diverts more forest land than any other state for non-forestry purposes, such as construction, infrastructure and industrial projects. Haryana along with Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Maharashtra are top five states which together diverted more than 50% of the total diversion of forest area

Haryana is primarily an agricultural state with almost 80% of its land being used for cultivation.

According to the India State of Forest Report 2015, forestry activities in Haryana are dispersed over rugged Shiwalik hills in north, Aravalli hills in south, sand dunes in west and wastelands, saline-alkaline lands and waterlogged sites in the central part of the state.

These forests are found in the northeastern states along the foothills of Himalayas Shiwalik region. Teak, sal, shisham, hurra, mahua, amla, semul, Kusum, and sandalwood etc. are the main species of these forests. Dry deciduous forest of Haryana
