Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 30th June asked the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to develop a satellite which will serve all the Saarc nations.
Addressing Indian space scientists at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota after the successful launch of PSLV C23 rocket, the Prime Minister said the fruits of India's space missions should reach other developing nations, especially India's neighbours.
Minutes earlier, PSLV C23 had injected five foreign satellites into the specified orbits. The rocket lifted off at 9.52am and completed all four phases with textbook precision. Modi went around congratulating the scientists after promising bigger thrust on space science. The Prime Minister sought to dispel the notion that space science is for the elite.
