Share:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday virtually launched the Indian Space Association (ISpA). At the event, the prime minister said that reforms in the space sector are based on four pillars. He also said that the world is moving away from the IT age to the Space age and that India cannot be left behind.

On the occasion of International Day of Girl Child today, PM  Modi expressed optimism that the reforms in the space sector will promote more women participation. Addressing the launch of the Indian Space Association (ISpA), PM Modi referred to the photo of ISRO women engineers who celebrated the success of India's Mars mission and said we can never forget that photo.

"Today is 'International Day of the Girl Child', how can we forget celebrations of India's Mars mission by the women scientists. PM Modi further said that the government has formed IN-SPACe to facilitate the private sector's participation. "It will work as a single-window independent agency for all space-related programmes. This will further speed up projects of the private sector," he said. He added that this is the time of exponential innovation, which can only be achieved when the government does not play the role of handler but enabler. The Prime Minister further said the space sector for India will mean better forecast for farmers, for fishermen, a better watch of our ecology, and better forecasting of natural disasters.

A  release reads that  "Echoing the PM’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, ISpA will help in making India self-reliant, technologically advanced and a leading player in the space arena".
