Q. Which is the nodal ministry for India's Deep Ocean Mission?
Answer: Ministry of Earth Sciences
Notes: India’s Deep Ocean Mission captured high-resolution images of an active hydrothermal vent 4,500 meters below the Indian Ocean’s surface. Hydrothermal vents are underwater hot springs near tectonic plate boundaries, releasing hot water and minerals into the ocean. The mission is a multi-ministerial and multi-disciplinary initiative to explore deep-sea living and non-living resources. It supports India’s goal of achieving Blue Economy status and developing technologies for ocean resource harnessing. The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) is the nodal agency implementing this mission.
