Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged start-ups to take full
advantage of growing opportunities in the Indian space sector.
In
his monthly radio broadcast "Mann Ki Baat", Modi said that Indian
industries and startups are engaged in bringing new innovations and new
technologies in this field. In particular, the collaboration of IN-SPACe
is going to make a big difference in this area.
"Non-government
companies are also getting the facility to launch their payloads and
satellites through IN-SPACe. I would urge more and more start-ups and
innovators to take full advantage of these huge opportunities being
created in India in the space sector," he said.
In June 2020, the
Government had opened up the space sector to enable the participation
of Indian private sector in the entire gamut of space activities.
To
facilitate private sector participation, Government had created the
Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), as a
single-window, independent, nodal agency which functions as an
autonomous agency in Department of Space (DOS).
It is a single window agency for all space sector activities of private entities.
"Earlier
in India, the space sector was confined within the purview of
government systems. Ever since, the space sector has opened for India's
youth, revolutionary changes have started coming in it," Modi noted
further in his address.
"I also remember those old days, when
India was denied the cryogenic rocket technology. But the scientists of
India not only developed indigenous technology, but today with the help
of it, dozens of satellites are being sent to space simultaneously," the
Prime Minister said.
Referring to the feat of placing 36
satellites in space simultaneously on October 23, Modi said that with
this launching, India has emerged as a strong player in the global
commercial market.
