Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Indian Space Association (ISpA) via video conferencing. Speaking at the launch PM Modi said “Our approach to Space reforms is based on four pillars — freedom to private sector in innovation, role of Govt as an enabler, to make youth future-ready, and to see the Space sector as a resource for the progress of common man,” as quoted by news agency ANI.
Modi further stated , Today is also ‘International Day of the Girl Child’, how can we forget celebrations of India’s Mars mission by the women scientists. I hope reforms in the space sector encourages more women participation.
This is the time of exponential innovation, which can only be achieved when Govt doesn’t play the role of handler but enabler. Today Govt is sharing its expertise & providing launch pads for private sector. Today, the facility of ISRO is being opened for private sector
Modi pointed out that with the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ vision, our country is witnessing comprehensive reforms. It’s not just vision, but a well thought & integrated economic strategy that is facilitating global development
Modi on the changed mindset, Earlier, the Space sector was synonymous with Govt. We changed this mindset, brought in innovation in Space sector & gave the mantra of cooperation between Govt & startups. This new mantra is necessary because this is not the time of linear innovation for India. Our approach to Space reforms is based on four pillars — freedom to private sector in innovation, role of Govt as an enabler, to make youth future-ready, & to see the Space sector as a resource for the progress of common man.
