Regarding need for establishment of a Brahmos
manufacturing unit in Deoghar, Jharkhand-Laid
DR. NISHIKANT DUBEY (GODDA): Deoghar is an extremely
important geo-strategic location with significant importance
accorded to it by the DRDO and the Ministry of Defence. The
Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO)
provided 220 crore rupees for the establishment and further
development of the Deoghar Airport. It is a testament to the
support of the Ministry of Defence that an airport in Deoghar is
functional. The Ministry of Defence was very keen on establishing
an important production facility in Deoghar owing to its significant
importance to national security and its beneficial geo-strategic
location. In the past year, everyone has witnessed the success of
Atmanirbhar Bharat, especially the global standing of the Brahmos
Missiles, which played the most pivotal role in Operation Sindoor
and has uplifted the Indian Military Industrial Complex. I would like
to request to the Government to further the resolve of the Ministry
of Defence, the DRDO, and the Army by establishing a Brahmos
Manufacturing Unit in Deoghar and ensuring that the full potential
of this pivotal region is utilised for national growth and security,
aiding and improving our critical responses.
