NEW DELHI: Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and TechnologyJitendra Singh said on July 6 that with over 140 Space startups within a short span of time, India has gained sound footing and the entire world has begun to acknowledge India’s capabilities and her potential in Space Technology.
Addressing the inaugural session of the G20 4th edition of Space Economy Leaders Meeting (SELM) here ,Jitendra Singh said, the credit goes to Prime Minister NarendraModi who opened up India’s Space Sector to private players. This has enabled a quantum jump in the last few years. Even though India began its space journey several years later compared to some other countries, yet it is India today which is offering vital clues and inputs for the benefit of world’s leading space agencies, he said.
“We are fast catching up with the world and I am sure its just a matter of time before we will be among the top three in the world,” he added
