About Vijay Diwas

On December 3, the Indo-Pakistan war began in 1971 and lasted for 13 days. Officially, the war ended on December 16 and Pakistan surrendered to India. The thirteen-day war resulted in the complete surrender of Pakistani forces and the creation of Bangladesh. Army of Pakistan surrendered before India with around 93,000 soldiers. It was the "Greatest Ever Victory"

Vijay Diwas: Key Facts of India-Pakistan War 1971

The conflict was a result of the Bangladesh Liberation War following West Pakistan's ill-treatment of the people and undermining of the election results in East Pakistan. On March 26, 1971, the call for succession was officially raised by East Pakistan. India's former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi supported them in their independence struggle.

The 1971 war was a military conflict between India and Pakistan. It started with pre-emptive airstrikes on 11 Indian Air Force stations by Pakistan on December 3, 1971. As a result, the Indian Army agreed to support Bengali nationalist groups in the Bangladesh independence struggle in East Pakistan.

The war was fought due to the widespread genocide of the people of East Pakistan carried out by an oppressive military regime under General Yahya Khan of Pakistan.

The war was fought on both Eastern and Western fronts and was short and intense

On December 4, 1971, Operation Trident was launched by India. In this operation, the Indian Navy's Western Naval Command successfully conducted a surprise attack on Karachi port. It was done under the codename Trident

In East Pakistan, the Mukti Bahini guerrillas joined hands with Indian forces to fight against Pakistani troops in the east.

On December 14, the IAF attacked a house where a meeting was taking place with the governor of East Pakistan. Pakistan was shaken by this attack. As a result, the surrender process started on 16 December 1971 and around 93,000 Pakistani forces had surrendered at that time

Thus, on December 16, 1971, Bangladesh was born as a new nation and East Pakistan became independent from Pakistan.

This war is considered a historical war for India. That is why December 16 is celebrated as 'Vijay Diwas' to commemorate India's victory over Pakistan across the country. It is said that in the war of 1971, about 3,900 Indian soldiers were martyred and about 9,851 were injured Ochish/sharhlash

Semiconductor Chips:

Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and nonconductors or insulators(such as most ceramics). Semiconductors can be pure elements, such as silicon or germanium, or compounds such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide.

Conductivity is the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material.

A semiconductor chip is an electric circuitwith many components such as transistors and wiring formed on a semiconductor wafer. An electronic device comprising numerous of these components is called Integrated Circuit (IC), and can be found in electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, appliances, gaming hardware and medical equipment.

These devices find widespread use in almost all industries, especially in the automobile industry. Ochish/sharhlash

Irrigation

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yoiana 

PMKSY is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (Core Scheme) launched in 2015. Centre- States will be 75:25 per cent. In the case of the north-eastern region and hilly states, it will be 90:10.

Its objectives are:

Convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level,

To expand the cultivable area under assured irrigation (Har Khet ko pani),

To improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage of water,

To enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per drop)

To ensure a comprehensive and holistic view of the entire "water cycle" and proper water budgeting is done for all sectors namely, household, agriculture and industries.

It is formulated by amalgamating ongoing schemes:

Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) -Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation.

Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) - Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development.

On-Farm Water Management (OFWM) - Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC). Ochish/sharhlash
