India’s Space Benefits Should Reach Everyone Globally

V. Narayanan, the Secretary of the Department of Space and Chairperson of ISRO, said that space belongs to everyone. He emphasized that the benefits of space technology should be shared with people all over the world, not just in one country.

He made these remarks while speaking at the opening session of the US-India Space Business Forum in Bengaluru on February 10. He explained that India’s space program was started not to compete with other nations, but to build advanced space technology that can help ordinary people in India.

Narayanan added that India’s space mission today aims to go beyond national boundaries. The country strongly believes that its space research and innovations should also benefit the global community. He highlighted that space science and technology can be used to improve daily life, solve real-world problems, and make a positive difference for people everywhere.

He also stressed the importance of international cooperation in space. By working together with other countries and sharing knowledge, India can contribute to global advancements in science, communication, navigation, and disaster management.

According to Narayanan, this approach ensures that space is not just for a few, but a resource that can help humanity as a whole. He encouraged partnerships between governments, private companies, and research organizations to make space technology accessible and useful to everyone.

In conclusion, he said that India is committed to using its space program for peaceful purposes and global development. Through innovation, collaboration, and sharing knowledge, the benefits of space can reach every corner of the world.
