New Delhi: <\/strong>India is entering a new phase of technology-led national development, where advanced sectors such as space, nuclear energy and artificial intelligence will play a key role in strengthening the country\u2019s security and economic growth, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Speaking during a fireside chat at the \u201cUnstoppable Bharat 2026\u201d conference here, Singh said the nature of warfare is rapidly changing and is becoming increasingly technology-driven.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditional man-to-man combat is gradually declining as modern technologies begin to play a decisive role in strategic preparedness and national security,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Singh, who holds key portfolios related to science and technology, said sectors such as space, nuclear energy, artificial intelligence and advanced scientific research will shape India\u2019s future security architecture and development.<\/p>\n

Referring to recent reforms in the space sector, the minister said opening the sector to private companies and startups has helped create a strong ecosystem of innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia now has a rapidly growing space startup ecosystem and the country\u2019s space economy is expected to expand significantly in the coming years as industry, research institutions and young innovators work together,\u201d Singh mentioned.<\/p>\n

He said India has no shortage of scientific talent and the government is working to create an environment that supports innovation from an early stage.<\/p>\n

Singh highlighted initiatives aimed at encouraging students at school and university levels to pursue careers in science and technology.<\/p>\n

The minister said programmes such as Vigyan Jyoti are helping students, particularly girls, explore opportunities in research and innovation.<\/p>\n

Singh also stressed the importance of strengthening India\u2019s scientific base by encouraging students to identify their interests early and pursue research in emerging fields.<\/p>\n

He said the National Education Policy has introduced greater flexibility for students, allowing them to move across disciplines and explore new areas in science and technology.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the importance of energy security in the digital era, Singh said nuclear energy will play an important role in supporting technologies such as artificial intelligence and large data centres, which require a reliable and uninterrupted power supply.<\/p>\n
