PM Modi addressed the country on the occasion of National Space Day.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today mentioned the country’s space power and mission Gaganyaan, wishing the National Space Day. He said- ‘India is also preparing its astronaut pool. I appeal to the youth to join this pool.
Modi said that ISRO has taken the initiative of Indian Space Hacathan and Robotics Challenge to increase the interest of youth in space field. This is commendable. This time the theme of Space Day is ‘Aryabhata to Gaganyaan’. It also has confidence in the past and also resolve the future. They said,
Creating milestones one after the other in the space sector has become the nature of the countrymen. Two years ago, India became the first country to reach the Moon’s South Poll and created history.
Actually, India became the fourth country to land on 23 August 2023. PM Modi declared this day as ‘National Space Day’, after which India celebrates its National Space Day on 23 August every year.
Modi said- allowed private sector to come in space sector
The PM said that there was a time when the space sector was held in fetters. We broke those fetters and allowed the private sector to enter the space sector and today there are more than 350 space startups in the country. Soon the first PSLV created by the private sector will also be launched.
India’s first private communication satellite is also being built. Today, on the day of Space Day, I will tell the space startups of the country, can we stand 5 unicorn in the coming 5 years?
PM referred to meeting Shubhanshu Shukla
Modi said that we have now joined the countries with the ability to docking and ignore in space. Just three days ago, I met Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla.
I have seen the dream of the youth of new India with Group Captain Shubhanshu. To carry forward these dreams, we are also going to prepare the Astronaut pool of India. I appeal to the youth to join this pool.
Modi said- Now we have to go to the depth of space
Modi said- We have reached Moon and Mars. Now we have to go to the depth of space, where many secrets of the future of humanity are hidden. Space always makes us realize that no stop is the last stop.
I believe that there should be no final stagnation in the policies of the space sector. That’s why I told the Red Fort ‘Reform is the way of performance.’ That is why in the last 11 years, the country has done large reforms in the space sector.
Modi said- Right now we see 5-6 big launch in a year. I want to launch a rocket every week in the next 5 years i.e. 50 launch in a year. The government also intends to do the next Next Jane Reforms that the country needs. Space Tech is also becoming a part of governance in India.
