S Somnath said: ISRO made two and a half times profits
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is one of the best-known space agencies in the world. ISRO Chairman S Somnath made a statement on Tuesday. He said that a study was recently carried out to determine whether the money invested in the ISRO space agency has benefited the society or not. Actually, S Somnath had come to the Karnataka KREIS Residential Educational Institute Society. Here he gave this statement while interacting with the students. During this, regarding the study done on ISRO, he said that for every rupee spent on ISRO, the society has recovered Rs 2.50.
S Somnath said: We cannot depend on the government for funding.
The dialogue session was organized by the Department of Social Welfare and the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Karnataka. S Somnath said, ‘ISRO’s objective is to serve the country and not join the fight for supremacy in the space field. ISRO needs freedom to do what it wants. He said independence can be achieved by creating an ecosystem of business opportunities in space technology. The ISRO chairman said that Moon-related missions are very expensive. In such a situation, we cannot depend solely on the government to fund ISRO.
S Somnath said: ISRO does much more
S. Somnath said we have to create business opportunities for ISROs. If you want to pursue this, you will have to prove the usefulness of ISRO. Otherwise, when we do something, the government will ask us to stop it. In this regard, he said that ISRO does much more than just space work. Answering questions, he said we have issued notices to fishermen. We also advise fishermen on where to find their fish. This allows fishermen to save a large amount of diesel needed for their boats.
