New Delhi: India's journey towards 'Viksit Bharat' is not confined to the boundaries of Earth but is being written in the rockets built on Indian soil and in the cryogenic engines the world once refused to share, ISRO Chairman V Narayanan has said.
Delivering a lecture on "India's Space Programme: The Challenges and Way Forward" at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) here, Narayanan, who is also Secretary, Department of Space, traced India's space journey from its formal and humble beginning in 1962, when the country was still building its most basic capabilities in food security and literacy, to the present day.
