Nice. On a sidenote We need more and longer documentaries showcasing bharat's manufacturing and infrastructure prowess. Imagine people still don't know that L&T has supplied "cryostat" a vital piece of equipment for ITER project or INOX group is supplying pipes for ITER.

We need our very own discovery or national geographic channels to showcase our achievements. There are various projects happening in india which we can show the world. Chenab bridge constructions, Mumbai coastal road. Atal Setu, Working of delhi metro. new Airport construction projects, Rail projects in NE.
the list will keep going on.
