24th April 2007 was one of the most interesting days I had reading newspaper. No, it was not about some war raged by west on Middle East, nor was it another boring article on birthday boy, Sachin Tendulkar(well, he is God of cricket, no doubt, but just leave him alone) or a cowardly terrorist act, but it was about Supreme Court’s decision and commercial success of ISRO.
I, along with many other Indians have indeed gained back trust on Indian judiciary when they thwarted government on reservation policies reiterating the point that government has to be more practical and reasonable when they decide on imposing any policies. And then it was the remarkable achievement of ISRO, when they launched an Italian payload with a pricing twice as any other space center around the world would. The preciseness with which ISRO has launched recent satellites in an orbit is worth receiving a huge applause.ISRO could indeed become one of the most profiting government units in a near future. Move over NASA, ISRO is here!!
