The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope specifically designed to conduct infrared astronomy. Its high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. This enables investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) led Webb's design and development and partnered with two main agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Maryland managed telescope development, while the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore on the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University operates Webb. The primary contractor for the project was Northrop Grumman. The telescope is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.

Thirty Ways Modi Govt 2.0 Can kick-start the Economy

In FY19, the GDP grew 6.8 per cent as against 7.2 per cent in FY18. Through an online platform called PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation), the prime minister himself reviews key infrastructure projects and the hurdles they are facing every month. Foreign direct investment is coming into the country and soon private investments will also pick up. Combined with weak sentiment in the capital markets, a shallow domestic bond market, and the currency risk of international borrowing, many Indian businesses will be starved of capital for growth. This mess cannot be fixed by tweaking fiscal and monetary policy.

NBFCs continue to be a problem area but large NPAs are behind us. Consumption has been cut down over the last 6 months.
