Logistics infrastructure to be priority sector in Gujarat Industrial Development Act
Infrastructure will be accorded priority sector status under theGujarat Industrial Development(GID) Act, the State Government said.
With this, the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) will be able to partner with the private sector to jointly take up big infrastructure development projects through the private public PARTNERSHIP (PPP) mode.
In a significant decision, the state government decided to set up a special Investment region (SIR) near Navakhi to ensure integrated development in coastal villages. A consultant for the proposed project will soon be appointed, the official statement said. The officials of the industries and mines department and other departments concerned provided an overview of the water requirements of the Industry in 2050.

Space System Design Lab
The space system design lab was inaugurated recently in Ahmedabad by the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe). The Space Systems Design Labs purpose is to help space start-ups turn their innovative ideas into implementable models more quickly, and reduce research and development costs.
The main focus of the IN-SPACe design lab is to enable start-ups in the space sector to build prototypes with the least iterations, thus significantly reducing the turnaround time and research and development costs for start-ups. In turn, this will help non-government entities (NGEs) to play an important part in the development of cutting-edge space technologies.
To achieve its objectives, the IN-SPACe design lab comprises high-end analysis and simulation Software for mission simulation, modeling, visualizing, optimizing payload and spacecraft, ground station, and launch vehicle avionics. The software Resources include Pathwave system design, System Tool Kit, Advance Design Systems, 3D CAD Mach 3, high frequency structure simulation, Simcenter 3D space System (Thermal and cooling), Finite Element analysis structure (FEAST) and OpticStudio (Zemax). They will play a part in mission planning to RF, structural and thermal design and analysis of space systems.

Indias First Quantum Computing-based Telecom Network Link Now Operational
Indias first quantum computing-based telecom Network link has been made operational between Sanchar Bhawan and National Informatics Centre office in New Delhi. Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced prize of Rs 10 lakh for ethical hackers who can break the encryption of the system and also launched a hackathon challenge for anyone who can break the system developed by C-DoT, with a reward of Rs 10 lakh per break.
A quantum computing-based telecom network uses the principles of quantum physics to transmit information, providing a more secure method than traditional networks. Quantum Communication relies on quantum mechanics properties, making it hard to intercept or hack the communication. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the telecom Industry by enabling faster, more efficient, and secure communication.
