Jitendra Singh reviewed a plan to set up seven space labs in universities and colleges across India. The labs will give students hands-on training in satellite systems, rocketry, and mission design. Officials said the aim is to build skilled talent for the growing space sector. India’s private space industry has attracted over USD 600 million in investment and now has more than 400 startups. Students earlier had limited practical exposure in this field. The new labs will offer real-world learning. The move is part of a wider push to support innovation and meet rising demand for trained engineers. (PC: India Today)
