India’s first unmanned moon mission - Chandrayaan-I - ISRO - NASA - all are big things, indeed! But, the people involved behind ISRO’s recent success have a small, smaller, start! Majority of these glittering personalities are the gift of little native towns of India. The achievement brought by these heroes has, once again, proved India’s strong educational ethos.
Quality and perfection with which Chandrayaan-I has been launched, has made the world staring India with great surprise and respect. Even America has started calculating amount of drift ISRO’s small heads have caused in their leading space programs. Barak Obama, US Democratic Presidential nominee, has already warned America saying India’s recent moon mission must not be ignored and should be taken as a wake-up call for them.
If you look at the long list of scientists those made the Chandrayaan-I a grand success, you will find majority of these scientists are the graduates of relatively smaller regional engineering colleges of India, and not from the IIT’s as one might think about. Two good examples of such low-profile engineering colleges are Government College of Technology and PSG College of Technology, both from a small town, Coimbatore, of India,
“Comments and observations with envy that have come from overseas after Chandrayaan-1’s launch reaffirms ISRO’s matured and advanced technologies,” said G Madhavan Nair, Chairman, ISRO. Even NASA has shown interest, following Chandrayaan-I, in working with ISRO recognizing India’s space power.
