The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is an agency of the Government of India, responsible for the development of technology for use by the military. It was founded in 1958 and is headquartered in New Delhi. It works under the Ministry of Defence.
Launched in 2014, 'Make in India' is a government initiative to encourage companies to manufacture their products in India. It aims to boost the manufacturing sector, create jobs, and reduce reliance on imports, especially in critical sectors like defence.
Defence exports refer to the sale of military equipment, technology, and services by a country to other nations. For India, increasing defence exports is part of a strategy to become a net exporter of defence products and enhance its global strategic presence.
Exams often test on India's defence indigenisation efforts, key defence policies like 'Make in India', and major defence export achievements.
Remember 'DRDO' for Defence Research and Development Organisation, which helps 'DRIVE' India's defence exports and 'DEVELOP' new technologies.
