Addressing India's growing stature in global space exploration, Dr Jitendra Singh remarked, «Gone are the days when we used to take the lead from others. Now, India sets the cue for others to follow.»
Dr Jitendra Singh shared a testament to the government's commitment to space development: India's space budget has tripled from 5,615 crores in 2013-14 to 13,416 crores in the recent budget, a staggering 138.93 per cent increase. Additionally, ISRO recently celebrated its 100th satellite launch with the NAVIC satellite, a key milestone in India's space journey.
