Bengaluru, Feb 27: The Centre has adopted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mantra of "Make in India', for India and the world" to build strong defence and security infrastructure in the country, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh after inaugurating the new Light Combat Helicopter Production Hangar at Helicopter Division in Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Complex here on Thursday.
According to an official statement, the Defence Minister said in the last five years, India has made significant progress towards manufacturing military equipment indigenously under the 'Make in India' initiative.
Stressing that the defence industry plays a major role in the economic development of the country, Singh lauded the significant contribution of organisations like HAL.
Highlighting the Rs 35,000 crore exports target set for the coming years, he expressed confidence that HAL, through its various platforms, will contribute significantly to achieve this milestone.
According to the statement, Rajnath Singh commended HAL for being the backbone of the Indian Air Force and meeting the requirements of the Armed Forces.
"The HAL has excelled both in operations and finance in the last five years. It has achieved operational clearance on seven platforms, including Light Combat Aircraft and Light Combat Helicopter, and overhauled platforms like Hawk and SU 30 MKI," he said.
He also appreciated that HAL had a turnover of Rs 19,705 crore till March 2019 and it gave shareholders a healthy dividend of 198 per cent.
HAL also apprised the Defence Minister on the progress of the new design and development programme of indigenous Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH), the statement informed.
The full-scale mock-up was showcased to Rajnath Singh. The IMRH is proposed as a replacement to the existing medium-lift helicopters such as Mi17's, Kamovs and Seakings which will phase out in the next eight to ten years.
LCH is a 5.5-tonne class combat helicopter designed and developed by HAL. It is powered by two Shakti engines and inherits many technical features of the Advanced Light Helicopter. LCH has the distinction of being the first attack helicopter to land in Forward Bases at Siachen, 4,700 mts above sea level with 500kg load.

It is not a big deal....in Darga you wont find any God.....LOL...
Temple or dargah both are same which leads to shirk..... both believers of temple and dargah has lack of religious knowledge, instead of reading their religious books this people are believing this fraud baba, tantrik, swami, tangal, koya etc.... may Allah give hidaya to all the human beings in this earth to know the truth
I am sure that Trupti Desai is doing such unwanted acts only to get popularity. Is she really concerned about women, she should fight agaisnt dowry, killings of woman in the name of dowry, rape, misbehave by immoral police etc etc. In the same time, Desai should know that Dargah is not a holy place for Muslims and there is no need of any Muslim to pray in the Dargah. Muslim women are given freedom to pray in their home. Instead of praying at home why are they so eager to visit Dargah or Masjid. Does they want to show their beauty? why are they interested in unnecessary activities which is being supported by Desai whereas she is not interested in actual and important things. Does Desai has no other job?
Think Brothers Think ... and PONDER, is DARGAH culture allowed in ISLAM? Y are we encouraging this system of worship... which is close to the cultures of pagan worshipers...
WORSHIP ALLAH the way Prophet Muhammad pbuh taught us and follow the Sahabas RA .. When U follow the last and final prophet of ALLAH, U will not be trapped with such humiliation. When we follow our own desire... then expect such treatment ...
Prayer of the Mushriks.. There is no Darga concept in islam.
Dear Desai,
Just for your information it is one and the same, if you pray in darga or in temple it will go nowhere. worship the creator not his creation.
