Mumbai: While launching the Indian Space Association (ISpA) on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it’s time for the government to play the role of enablers and not handlers.
PM Modi said, “Earlier, the Space sector was synonymous with Govt. We changed this mindset, brought in innovation in the Space sector & gave the mantra of cooperation between Govt & startups. This new mantra is necessary because this is not the time of linear innovation for India.”
“This is the time of exponential innovation, which can only be achieved when Govt doesn’t play the role of handler but enabler. Today Govt is sharing its expertise & providing launch pads for the private sector. Today, the facility of ISRO is being opened for the private sector,” PM added.

PM Modi also said that echoing the vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, ISpA will help in making India self-reliant, technologically advanced and a leading player in the space arena.
“With the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ vision, our country is witnessing comprehensive reforms. It’s not just vision, but a well thought & integrated economic strategy that is facilitating global development,” PM Modi said.
