New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday in his monthly radio programme ‘Mann ki Baat’ spoke about the initiative taken by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) which facilitates the viewing of rocket launching at Sriharikota.
“Children, youth in India are increasingly taking a keen interest in Science and Technology. When I was in Bengaluru during Chandrayaan-2, I witnessed immense enthusiasm and fervour on part of children present there. There was no sign of drowsiness from any angle. To give a fillip to this very enthusiasm in children and young people, ISRO launched a facility to sit, watch rocket launching at Sriharikota. Online booking is also available through a link provided on ISRO’s website,” he said.
PM Modi also indicated about ISRO Yuvika programme, aimed at imparting knowledge on Space Technology, Science and Applications to the youth with an intent to raise their interests in Space activities and lauded the organisation for integrating the youth with science through such programmes.
