“We may have certain limitations but we should come out of them to succeed. We can work together to make this product wonderful. Indians always have an inferiority complex and are always happy to be controlled by somebody else. This should be shunned and everyone should rise to the occasion,” he said.
Appreciating the efforts of ISSE Amaravati chapter for bringing together the industry and academicians, Satish Dhawan Space Centre-SHAR, Director and ISSE national president P. Kunhikrishnan said that the policy of the Indian Space Research Organisation is to make all its inventions and services useful to the common man.
About the workshop, Mr. Kunhikrishnan said that it is to teach the concepts of how the complex systems are divided into finite parts and clear off impediments before bringing all the finite parts together as a major system. He said this programme would be useful for students of the civil, mechanical, electrical, aeronautical and electronics departments.
