Indian Space Programme – Reaching Out, Touching Lives

The Indian space programme, implemented by the Department of Space (DOS) continues to strive for development of space science and technology in a self-reliant manner and reaching their benefits to the society. Since the space programme started with the establishment of Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station in 1963, followed by the formation of Indian Space Research Organisation in 1969 and the formal setting up of Space Commission and establishment of Department of Space in 1972, the space programme has taken important strides in meeting its objectives.

The two major operational space systems – Indian National Satellite (INSAT) for telecommunication, television broadcasting and meteorological services and Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) for resources monitoring and management — together with the two operational launch vehicles, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) primarily for launching remote sensing satellites into polar orbits and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for launching communication and meteorological satellites into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) — have continued to provide valuable services to the nation in a self-reliant manner. The application programmes, evolved with the participation of user agencies, have helped in tuning the space systems to meet national requirements. Pursuit of space science research has contributed to increase knowledge and understanding of various scientific phenomena and to evolve technologies required for the space systems. The capabilities that India has built in the process have been gainfully used for marketing the Indian space hardware and services in the international market.

India : Union Budget 2007-2008

“We need faster growth because, at our level of incomes, there can be no
doubt that we must expand the production base of the economy if we want to
provide broad-based improvement in the material conditions of living of our
population, ..........
But growth alone is not enough if it does not produce a flow of benefits
that is sufficiently wide-spread. We, therefore, need a growth process that is much
more inclusive, .......... and which also ensures access to essential services such
as health and education for all sections of the community”.
Dr. Manmohan Singh,
Prime Minister

seventh biggest one-day point drop ever for the Dow

Stocks slumped Tuesday on worries about economic growth at home and abroad, sending the Dow industrials to their biggest point drop since the day the market reopened after the Sept. 11 attacks.

A big decline in Chinese stocks, weakness in some key readings on the U.S. economy and news that Vice President Dick Cheney was the apparent target in a Taliban suicide bombing attack in Afghanistan all fueled the selling on Wall Street.
CNNMoney.com's Allen Wastler discusses the plunging durable goods report and more business news.

The Dow Jones industrial average (down 416.02 to 12,216.24, Charts) tumbled 416.02 points, the biggest point loss since Sept. 17, 2001, when the 30-share index tumbled nearly 685 points.

It was the seventh biggest one-day point drop ever for the Dow. On a percentage basis, the Dow lost about 3.3 percent - its biggest one-day percentage loss since March 2003.
