Indian talent to gain greater foothold in space research
Raipur (thestates.news) | Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Friday launched Mission Antariksh and Project Jai Vigyan from his official residence on the occasion of Teacher’s Day. The twin initiatives aim to spread awareness of space science among schoolchildren. On the occasion, two significant Memorandums of Understanding were signed—between the Raipur district administration and the Igniting Dreams of Young Minds Foundation, and between the Raipur district administration and Vigyan Bharati. These partnerships will help provide students with meaningful knowledge on subjects related to space.
Extending greetings on behalf of the people of Chhattisgarh, CM Sai congratulated and felicitated Group Captain Shubhashnu Shukla for his successful space mission. The Chief Minister also saluted the role of teachers and conveyed his Teacher’s Day wishes to all. He praised the district administration for the special initiative, noting that the agreements are designed to instill scientific temper among students and kindle curiosity and enthusiasm for science.
“Science is not confined to laboratories alone,” CM Sai remarked. “It is a way of life—it builds the habit of questioning, the power of reasoning, and the capacity to solve problems.” Expressing confidence, he said Project Jai Vigyan will include workshops, science exhibitions, competitions and innovative projects that will allow students to learn new things and build self-confidence.
