India’s space programme about continuity, says Jairam Ramesh

Rajya Sabha member Jairam Ramesh said India’s space program has been about continuity since its inception in the 1960s, regardless of who was in power, and he blasted the Centre for failing to give “due credit” to previous governments.

“The glorious space journey that the Leader of the House wants us to believe started in 2014, but the first milestone was on twenty second February of 1962. The second milestone was on the fifteenth of August 1969 with the creation of ISRO.

“The third milestone was in July 1972 when Satish Dhawan became the chairman of ISRO,” the Congress member said in the Upper House on Wednesday, during the discussion on India’s glorious space programme and successful soft landing of Chandrayaan-3.
