Terming the event as ‘positive’ and the information provided by the experts as beneficial, the LG commended the organizers, especially the scientists from SAC ISRO, for disseminating information on initiatives being taken by the Government of India along with the scope for students and youth in space applications as a career. Stating that the Vikram Sarabhai Space Exhibition is a big event, the LG highlighted the importance of the youth coming forward to contribute to the overall development of India.
