Dinesh Kamath's Editorial 'ISRO is in full form' that was published in Newsband

ISRO is in full form
The Indian Space Research Organisation was found to be in full form this year. ISRO successfully launched Mangalyaan into Mars orbit on September 24. On December 18, it launched a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III vehicle. Thus ISRO shows promise of taking the country’s space missions to greater heights in the days to come.
Thirty long years after Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian to travel into space aboard a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft, India has now come a step closer to realizing its long-held dream of sending humans into space. Success of ISRO deserves a grand salutation from the whole country. It is the proof of India's capabilities for the whole world. The only institution working in India and giving us some moments of joy, pride and happiness in being Indians is ISRO.
ISRO scientists are proving it that if a nation is dedicated to write story after story of success, they can do it. Within couple of years other countries will rely on us for their launch and even for the cheap technology.
It is heartwarming to see India positioning itself amongst the developed nations in the area of space research. The only thought which dampens the spirit is when we ask ourselves "Does space exploration solve majority of the problems which our society faces today like safety of our women, poverty, corruption, better infrastructure to our citizens and so on.....?" India has progressed well in the space missions, but we have yet to learn the art of laying reasonably usable roads in our cities and highways.

Let us as a country look at all these issues with the same enthusiasm as our scientists did to make this dream a reality and to make our country a better place to live in for our future generations.
