Founded in 2001, SPACE India has inspired over 1.5 Million students and facilitated the integration of Astronomy and Space Science into the curriculum of 1,000 schools pan India, nurturing a new generation of space enthusiasts and scholars. It has played a remarkable role in refuting myths surrounding rocket science. It has ensured that space education is accessible, affordable, and inclusive for people from all walks of life.

Increasing access to education lies at the core of my humanitarian endeavours, and thus I hope our collective synergy leads to the greatest possible change.”
