ISRO has made significant achievements in the Space sector and also contributed to the socio-economic development of India, said President Murmu. Due to the Space sector, other major sectors like environment, energy, health, and IT benefit the most. Also, space exploration has transformed the imagination into reality, said President Murmu. Whether its Mangalyan or Chandrayan mission, many feats have been achieved by ISRO, and there is no doubt that India's space sector is extraordinary. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State of Space, said that PM Modi has broken all the shackles of the past as the Space sector was lagging behind for nearly 70 years. ISRO chairperson Somanath said that National Space Day is being celebrated across the breadth and length of the country with participation of educational institutions, NGOs, departments, ministries and public. On the National Space Day occasion, President Murmu gave prizes to winners of ISRO's Bhartiya Antariksh Hackathon and Robotics Challenge.
