Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development, yesterday highlighted that "every advancement in space technology has had a transformative impact on Earth" and added that "Satellite Communication (Satcom) is not just a tool but a transformative force, bringing Digital India to every household, village, and corner of the country."   He said, "the applications of Satcom extend across sectors vital to our people's everyday lives and India's sustained growth".

The Minister was speaking at the session themed "Advancing Space Communications and Global partnerships" at the 3rd Indian Space Conclave being held in New Delhi.

Dr. Pemmasanisaid "Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji's belief that 'India's rise is inevitable' has sparked a renaissance in Indian space science. Policies like the 'SatCom Reform 2022' have eased the path for both public and private sector participation, creating an environment where innovation thrives. The government's commitment, from the victorious Chandrayaan missions to the ambitious Gaganyaan program, has propelled India to the forefront of the global space race". The Minister pointed out that "This partnership between ground and sky creates a robust, resilient network that empowers enterprise solutions across sectors and meets the evolving needs of a modern economy", and added that "Satcom is not here to compete with terrestrial networks; it is here to complement them".
