The space programs that progressed under his guidance gave global recognition to India’s efforts. Many of the satellites that India uses today were launched under the supervision of Dr. Kasturirangan. There was another very special thing about his personality, from which the young generation can learn from him. He always gave importance to innovation. The vision of learning, knowing and doing something new is very inspiring.

Dr. Kasturirangan came up with the idea of ​​forward-looking education according to the modern needs of the 21st century. His selfless service to the country and contribution to nation building will always be remembered. I pay my humble tribute to Dr. K. Kasturirangan ji.

Friends, you must have seen the horrific pictures of the earthquake that struck Myanmar last month. The earthquake caused a huge devastation there. Every breath, every moment was precious for the people trapped in the rubble. That is why India immediately started Operation Brahma for our brothers and sisters in Myanmar. From Air Force aircraft to Navy ships, everything was dispatched to help Myanmar. The Indian team set up a field hospital there. A team of engineers helped assess the damage to important buildings and infrastructure. The Indian team provided blankets, tents, sleeping bags, medicines, food items and many other things there. During this time, the Indian team also received a lot of praise from the people there.
