Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asked the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to develop a satellite which will serve all the SAARC ( South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) nations.
Addressing Indian space scientists at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota after the successful launch of PSLV C23 rocket, the Prime Minister said the fruits of India`s space missions should reach other developing nations, especially India`s neighbours.
The Prime Minister asked the scientists that they should develop a SAARC satellite. The country should dedicate this satellite to its neighbourhood as India`s gift .India is rooted in our age-old ethos of `Vasudeva Kutumbakom`. India�s space science reflects that. India should share the fruit of this with our neighbouring countries.
