Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured the full support of the government to young space entrepreneurs and urged them to explore how space technology can be used in agriculture, livestock management, dairy, environment, and other areas that affect people's everyday lives.
Interacting with CEOs and founders of 20 space startups, PM Modi hailed them for showing remarkable courage by entering a new and demanding domain of space, taking risks, trusting the reform process, and remaining consistent in their efforts.
He assured them of the government's full support and called for greater collaboration between space companies and organisations in other sectors to expand the use of their technologies.
"I assure the space startups that Government of India will continue to stand with them as they build India's capabilities for the future.
India can offer the world a strong, innovative and commercially viable model in the space sector," he said.
