    Mission will expand the exploration, utilization of deep-sea resources

    Singh said that the Deep Ocean Mission, approved by the Cabinet in June, will expand the exploration and utilization of deep-sea resources even further for societally benefitting activities. The aim of this more than Rs. 4,000 crore mission is to make India self-reliant in ocean technology, create more jobs in this field, and enhance the capacity building of institutions working in this sector.

    The project will be executed by the Ministry of Earth Sciences. Singh also suggested that when Gaganyaan -- India's first manned mission to space -- takes off, the MoES should also undertake this mission. The two missions will simultaneously take Indians to space and deep sea, he said. The ambitious Gaganyaan mission aims to carry three Indians to space.
