Students should learn about technology irrespective of the discipline they were pursuing as it is the future, said Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S. Somanath here on Saturday.
Mr. Somanath was speaking at the 37th graduation day ceremony of the Gandhigram Rural Institute. He hailed G. Ramachandran and T.S. Soundaram, founders of the institute, which had been serving the community for several decades. He appreciated the students for choosing the institute, which was situated in a rural background, and wished them good luck in their future endeavours.
Giving an outline on the ISRO’s contribution to the nation, Mr. Somanath said that for the first time, the country had a plan for 25 years. Through the Prime Minister’s Viksit Bharat and other innovative programmes, the nation was moving fast not only in space, but also in many other spheres.
