The IIT Roorkee achieved a secure position in the rapidly growing space research field in accordance with the Vision, Mission, and Objectives of the Department of Space and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). I'm glad that IIT Roorkee just built the academic centre named as the "Centre for Space Science & Technology (CSST)." Through targeted research and development in space science and technology, the Centre will support national goals and number of missions. The centre provide a common platform for faculty members with their expertise to work together on intense research areas with interdisciplinary approach. It will impart state-of-the-art knowledge in the domain and develop skilled human resources to meet the demand of India and the world's ever-growing space and allied sectors.
