Bulletproof Jackets

The jackets have been developed at the DRDO Industry Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE) at IIT-Delhi.

To achieve its developmental goals over the next three decades, the Indian economy must grow at a rate of 8-10 per annum over the next decade to reap the demographic dividend, the RBI said.

Researchers at IIT-Delhi have developed the world's lightest bulletproof jackets, which are capable of stopping eight bullets fired from an AK-series rifle. The jackets, which weigh 8.2 kg, are over 2 kg lighter than the ones being used by the Army.

BJPchief JP Nadda on Tuesday asserted that instead of importing bulletproof jackets in the country, India is now exporting them and said, "attack and then report to us is the policy now".

Some of the terrorists in the Kashmir valley used American armour-piercing bullets in encounters with Indian security forces and were successful in breaching the bulletproof jackets of soldiers.

An Indian Army Major who had developed a bulletproof jacket for protection against sniper bullets, has now developed a helmet which is claimed to be first such in the world that can stop an AK-47 bullet round from a distance of 10 meters.

Like US, UK and Germany, India has also started making bulletproof jackets, said Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan adding that the domestic bullet-resistant jackets are safer, cheaper than any international manufacturing and are even being exported.

A bulletproof jacket for Indian soldiers, which would be 30 per cent lighter than the jackets being used now, was also a hit among the visitors who turned it into a selfie prop.

''Plant-based'' scrambled eggs, water-activated powerless heating system and lighter bulletproof jackets are among the 200 innovative products developed by researchers at IIT Delhi.

Accusing the UPA government of not being serious on national security, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the Congress-led regime had in 2009 ignored the demand of 1.86 lakh bullet proof jackets for security personnel.

Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party chief AkhileshYadav on Monday said that the priority of the country's leadership should be to ensure that bulletproof jackets are provided to its soldiers, rather than focussing on bullet trains.

Nine years after it first made a request for more than 1.86 lakh bulletproof jackets, the government today signed a major 'Make in India' contract which will see the army finally acquire the life-saving kit its soldiers desperately require during operations.

A total of 1,430 bulletproof jackets out of 4600 received by the Maharashtra Police in the aftermath of the 26/11 terror attacks have been returned to their manufacturer as they failed the AK-47 bullet test during trials.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police will get bulletproof vehicles and jackets for most of its jawans serving in terrorism-hit areas, in view of the recent attacks in the Valley, a senior official said today.
