Savitri Khanolkar, a renowned Indian designer, is recognized for creating the Param Vir Chakra, the country's highest military decoration. Her son-in-law, Ardeshir Tarapore, became the first recipient of this prestigious award. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched 'Mission Sudarshan Chakra', a significant initiative aimed at bolstering India's national security. This mission is expected to develop a robust defense shield, often compared to Israel's Iron Dome, to protect the nation from missile threats. The project, which Modi discussed during his address from the Red Fort, is set to create a multi-layered shield, making India more resilient against potential attacks.
