Sadar Namaskar,
Innovation is a key to development and the latest edition of the New India
Samachar is an attempt to present before our readers the strides that have been
taken since 2014 under Prime Minister Narendra Modi in making innovation a part
of our education system, temperament and the very thought process. This edition
is studded with stories related to the development trajectory besides including the
story behind the making of the Constitution as India celebrates the sixth Constitution
Day on November 26.
Cover story on Atal Innovation Mission is a vision to cultivate one million children
as 'Neoteric Innovators’. Atal Innovation Mission is establishing Atal Tinkering
Laboratories in schools across India.
The Prime Minister paying his respect to the Constitution on the occasion of
Constitution Day has been given as pictorial depiction.
Story on Science Setu tells how new innovations are helping in the growth
trajectory of the Government and agriculture being the biggest beneficiary.
The Government has taken several steps to stem the menace of air pollution
which recurringly worsens with the onset of the winters coincident with burning
of crop residue (parali) left behind after the Kharif harvest especially in the Delhi-
NCR region and its neighbouring states. International Solar Alliance talks about
clean energy commitment of the Government and how India is taking along the
international community in this endeavour.

for housing for all. Important Cabinet decisions on Jammu and Kashmir and
