India is gearing up for its 'Samudrayaan Mission' following the success of ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1 missions. This deep-sea exploration project involves sending a manned submersible 6km beneath the ocean's surface to study precious metals, minerals, and ocean resources. Union Minister of Earth Sciences Kiren Rijiju shared details, stating that the mission plans to send three humans to assess deep-sea biodiversity and resources without disturbing the ocean ecosystem. The mission aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Blue Economy' vision, aiming for sustainable use of ocean resources to boost the country's economy, livelihoods, and job opportunities, and preserve ocean health.
