Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman allocated Rs 8,000 crore over a period of 5 years for setting up a National Mission on Quantum technology and its application. This seeks to propel India among the world leaders in quantum computing and its related applications.
India as a result is expected to become the third largest country to make such an effort.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
