Met with the Hon’ble MPs from Keralam.
We discussed the operational issues in Mangaluru. The Mangaluru railway area was divided into three different zones, which was creating serious operational problems. The decision to keep Mangaluru in SWR will solve the operational problems.
We also discussed the development of the railway network in Keralam. Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji has increased the allocation for Keralam 10 times to ₹3,795 crores in FY26-27. This amount was just ₹372 crores in 2014. I also discussed the matter with Hon’ble CM @vdsatheesan Ji. A detailed note on railway development projects is attached with this post.

The next time you see a CCTV camera or connect to broadband, think about the chip inside it.
India is designing those chips too.
24 semiconductor design projects have been approved, with C2i Semiconductors, Netrasemi, Vervesemi, Aheesa, Mindgrove, and others developing indigenous designs.
Several designs have reached tape-out - the point where a finished design moves towards manufacturing.
