History of India in Olympics
The first authentic Indian team took part at the 1920 Antwerp Olympic
Games in athletics and wrestling.
A National Olympic Committee was finally formed in 1927.
India's greatest successes at the Olympics have come in men’s hockey.
They won every men’s title from 1928 to 1956.
In 1960 they reached the final but lost to Pakistan to end the sequence.
India were an ever present on the men’s hockey medal podium until
1976 and their last gold medal success in this sport came at the Moscow
1980 Olympic Games.
Indian shooters have challenged for medals in the new millennium.
Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore won silver in the men’s double trap in
Athens 2004.
Shooter Abinav Bindra became India’s first individual gold medalist
when he won the 10m air rifle at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
At the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris, Norman Pritchard had won silver
medals in the men’s 200m and the now discontinued 200m hurdles. He
was the first medal winner born in India but confusion surrounds his
nationality as India was then under British rule.
India’ Performance in 2012 Olympics:
India’s tally of two silver and 4 bronze medals was its best tally in
Olympics. 81 athletes from India had competed in 13 sports.

Sushil Kumar became the first Indian to get back-to-back Olympic
medals. He won silver medal in 66kg Freestyle Wrestling. He had won a
bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics.
Subedar Vijay Kumar Sharma of 16 Dogra Regiment bagged silver
medal in 25m rapid fire pistol event.
Yogeshwar Dutt, 2010 CWG gold winner, won India its fourth Bronze
medal in 60kg freestyle Wrestling.
Five-time world champion MC Mary Kom won a bronze medal in
women’s boxing (51 kg) event. Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna (2009), Arjuna
Award (2003) and Padamshree (2006) awardee, Mary Kom is the first
Indian women boxer to qualify for Olympics. The 29-year-old boxer
from Manipur came back from a two-year sabbatical after the birth of
her twins to clinch her fourth successive world title in 2008, a feat that
got her the sobriquet ‘Magnificent Mary’.
Ace marksman Gagan Narang opened India’s account in London
Olympics by clinching a bronze medal in the men's 10 meter air. The
burly Indian, who narrowly missed the final in Beijing, raised his gun
above his head as his many compatriots in the crowd cheered loudly at
the country's first medal of the Games. Beijing Games gold medalist
Abhinav Bindra, however, could not defend his title and crashed out of
the event.
Saina Nehwal won women’s singles bronze in badminton when her
opponent Wang Xin of China broke down with a knee injury after
taking the opening game. Nehwal, ranked fifth in the world, became
only the second Indian woman to win a medal in an individual Olympic
sport. 22-year-old Irfan from Kerala did not win any medal but
produced the best effort by an Indian in an Olympic walking event,
finishing 10th in the 20km race, with a national record to boot. In
Hockey, India finished last in their group. This was the first time in
Olympic history that India lost all their group matches.

2013 RAMON MAGSAYSAY AWARD
The Ramon Magsaysay Award is an annual award established in 1957
by the trustees of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund based in NewYork City
with the concurrence of the Philippine government.
The Ramon Magsaysay Award is Asia’s highest honor and is widely
regarded as the region’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
It celebrates the memory and leadership example of the third Philippine
president, and is given every year to individuals or organizations in
Asia who manifest the same sense of selfless service that ruled the life of
the late and beloved Filipino leader.
The first Ramon Magsaysay Awards were given on August 31, 1958 to
five outstanding individuals working in India, Indonesia, Philippines,
Republic of China (Taiwan) and Sri Lanka, and a Philippine-based
organization.
Presentation Ceremonies are held annually in Manila on 31 August, the
birth anniversary of the late President.

IRNSS-1A: INDIA’S FIRST EVER DEDICATED NAVIGATION
SATELLITE
In a landmark journey into a new era of space application, India
successfully launched its first dedicated navigation satellite, IRNSS1A, using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on the night of 1-2 July,
2013.
The launch vehicle, PSLV-C22, bearing the 1,425-kg navigation
satellite, blasted off the launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space
Centre, Sriharikota at the scheduled lift-off time of 11.41 p.m. on 1st
July, 2013.
About 20 minutes after the lift-off at 12.01 a.m. (2nd July, 2013), the
PSLV-C22 completed its task of injecting the IRNSS-1A into a sub
geosynchronous transfer orbit with a 284-km perigee(nearest point to
the Earth) and 20,650 km apogee (farthest point from the Earth) with
an inclination of 17.86 degree with respect to the equatorial plane.

INS SINDHURAKSHAK TRAGEDY
INS Sindhurakshak was a Russian-made Kilo-class diesel-electric
submarine of the Indian Navy.
Commissioned on 24 December 1997, it was the ninth of the ten Kiloclass submarines in the Indian Navy.
The submarine suffered a minor fire incident in 2010 and a major one on
14 August 2013, which resulted in its sinking at Mumbai’s naval
dockyard.
At the time of its sinking, there were reportedly 18 crew members on
board and all are feared dead.
Of the 18 crew members inside at the time of explosion, three were three
officers and 15 sailors.
The severely disfigured bodies of five sailors were recovered on 16th
August, 2013 from the submarine.
Another submarine, which was docked next to INS Sindhurakshak, also
caught fire from the radiation of the explosion.
INS ARIHANT
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh launched India’s first
indigenously-built nuclear powered submarine INS Arihant.
On July 26, 2009, at ship building centre of the Eastern Naval Command,
Viskhapatanam, becoming only the sixth country in the world to do so.
Three submarines of the class are expected to be in commission with the
Indian Navy by 2015.
INS Arihant is entirely built in India with Russian assistance.

ASTRA MISSILE
Astra is an active radar homing beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile
(BVRAAM) developed by the Defence Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO), India.
Astra is designed to be capable of engaging targets at varying range and
altitudes allowing for engagement of both short-range targets (up to
20 km) and long-range targets (up to 80 km) using alternative
propulsion modes. As of May 2011, the missile is undergoing
developmental trials

AGNI MISSILE
The Agni Missile is a family of medium to intercontinental range
ballistic missiles developed by India, named after one of the five
elements of nature. The first missile of the series, Agni-I was developed
under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program and tested
in 1991.
After its success, Agni missile program was separated from the IGMDP
upon realizing its strategic importance.
It was designated as a special program in India's defence budget and
provided adequate funds for subsequent development. As of 2008, the
