Bharat is embarking on a groundbreaking venture to develop its first manned submersible, a move aimed at exploring the mysteries of the deep sea and conducting an extensive biodiversity assessment. Notably, this development comes hot on the heels of Bharat’s recent triumph in successfully landing a spacecraft near the moon’s South Pole, marking the nation’s growing ambitions as a global leader in the domains of science and technology, particularly in space and other uncharted frontiers. Kiren Rijiju, Bharat’s Earth Sciences Minister, unveiled the exciting venture by sharing images of the submersible on X.
