And we are also going to be part of this conference and to have a session on space science and technology as one of the important themes.
Honorable Prime Minister has given a clear vision to land on the moon by 2040.Indians landing on the moon using our own launcher.
And then a country to become a contributing in the space area, the government alone contribution is not adequate. So the Government of India 6 years back has rolled out the space sector reform. Today something around 440 start-ups and companies are working in that area where 6 years back it was 2 companies only there. And actually the country needs lot of space infrastructure. Right now we are having only 56 start-ups in the orbit.
Along with the industrial partners, start-up companies, academia and government sector, how they are working together. Everything is going to be addressed. So surely these 3 days event is going to be an outstanding event. Showcasing the emerging scenario in science, technology, innovation in the country. And surely it will benefit the country in a big way, how the country is progressing in this area.
