ISRO Chairman V Narayanan said India’s space programme is built on international cooperation rather than rivalry, aiming to use space technology for societal benefit since the 1960s. He noted the early Indo‑US support for India’s first rocket and highlighted collaboration such as the NISAR mission and Chandrayaan projects with global partners. The programme, he said, now serves both national and global needs, with strong private sector participation following 2020 reforms. Narayanan outlined future goals including an Indian space station by 2035 and a crewed lunar mission by 2040, stressing deeper global partnerships will be key to achieving them. (PC: The Hindu)
