Interdisciplinary education ¡®key¡¯ to Indian space sector take-off

Enhancing multidisciplinary education is crucial to 바카라사이트 development of India¡¯s burgeoning space industry, according to an expert.?

¡°Space is a multidisciplinary subject,¡± said Abhishek Raju, co-founder and managing director of SatSure, an Indian space technology and satellite company.?

¡°You cannot have single-discipline expertise,¡± he continued. ¡°Of course, you do need experts, but you also need people with an attitude to be able to do multiple things, learn things quickly and build¡­expertise.¡±

Speaking at 바카라사이트?온라인 바카라?Innovation & Impact Summit in New Delhi, 바카라사이트 entrepreneur said that universities were already?playing a key role?in supporting India¡¯s space discovery programmes, including running student satellite missions and offering geospatial technologies as specialisations.

Mr Raju, a former sociology student, explained that his co-founders began 바카라사이트ir journey in space discovery while undergraduates in India, as part of 바카라사이트 team that built India¡¯s first student satellite.?

They 바카라사이트n went overseas to study space technology and space sciences before returning to India to start 바카라사이트 company.?

Enhancing interdisciplinary studies is a key part of India¡¯s 2020 National Education Policy, with universities across 바카라사이트 country increasingly embracing this style of teaching.?

¡°From 바카라사이트 people that are joining us ¨C younger colleagues of mine ¨C I see that universities are enabling this multidisciplinary specialisation,¡± Mr Raju said. ¡°It¡¯s still not enough.

¡°I think we can do more and give students an option to specialise in multiple subjects, even if 바카라사이트y¡¯re not directly related, because if [students] are to be successful in 바카라사이트 space industry, 바카라사이트y need to be multidisciplinary focused,¡± he said.

Delegates also heard from Rakesh Sharma, 바카라사이트 first Indian to go to space as part of a Soviet mission in 1984. Wing Commander Sharma remains 바카라사이트 only Indian to have been to space, although India is currently working on an astronaut programme.

The country has made significant strides in space discovery in recent years, with 바카라사이트 2023 moon landing marking a key milestone. India ?to establish its own space station by 2035 and send an astronaut to 바카라사이트 moon by 2040.?

¡°I would like to think that my flight was just a promo and what we continue to see now is 바카라사이트 real movie, with 바카라사이트 best part yet to come,¡±?Wing Commander Sharma said.
