Indians should be proud of ISRO’s achievements. ISRO has developed launch vehicles, e.g. Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). First the PSLV was developed and then the GSLV was developed. These vehicles have increased India’s status of ‘space-faring nations’ and also satellites for Indian use and foreign countries satellites were put in orbit through these vehicles. It is also commercially profitable. ISRO is also among the largest space agencies in the world and despite tough domestic problems and lack of access to foreign technology, it has indigenously developed cryogenic engines which also has military uses. Unlike Pakistan which has acquired nuclear weapons technology and launch vehicles from China, India has developed these technologies with grit, determination and independently. America has various leading scientific organizations, Russia has the Russian Academy of Sciences, China has the Chinese Academy of Sciences, while India does not have enough leading scientific organizations in terms of the population. Given the talent India has, I think India should have more organizations which contribute to India’s scientific development. Scientific achievements are very important to a nation’s overall progress. And in India, these organizations contribute to the concept of self-reliance. However, Indian politics along with society do not have the will to make it happen. They are after money and they teach to get high-paying jobs in the business world, rather than accepting a lower paying job in the science world. The media is not helpful either. They print stories about how much graduates from IIM or IIT are offered during the placements and this amount is in the crores. Reading this, a lot of Indians, even if they don’t want to work in such a profession, will be motivated to study engineering or management, so that they too can earn crores.
