NEW DELHI: Former ISRO chairman Dr S Somanath used his address at the 71st National Conference of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Friday to underline the co-existence of “faith and facts” in India’s scientific tradition, urging students to embrace both knowledge and cultural rootedness as the country pushes into a new technological era. Speaking at the General Bipin Rawat Auditorium in the tent city of Bhagwan Birsa Munda Nagar, he called the youth “the generation that will script India’s future”.“Faith and facts complement each other. Culture and innovation work hand in hand,” Somanath said, adding that India’s spiritual texts “contain insights into modern science and secrets about it”. He said knowledge in Indian tradition is viewed as “sacred” and acquired through tapas, while vigyan, sanskar and seva form the framework for national development.Pointing to India’s recent space achievements, he said: “We were the very first nation” to land a craft on the lunar south pole. He cited Aditya-L1, Gaganyaan, NISAR, SSLV and reusable rocket programmes as examples of India “showing the path to the world”. He also highlighted the rise of private space players such as Skyroot and Pixxel, saying they were “creating new stories”.On national capabilities, Somanath said Aadhaar-based services, UPI, cyber-physical integration and advances in defence technology had strengthened India’s strategic posture. Referring to Operation Sindoor, he noted, “We are strong enough to handle adversaries.”He emphasised that India’s future technology “should not be imported”, declaring that “they will be imagined, engineered, and perfected by the youth we have”. Calling this a generational moment, he added, “Bharat ek hai, aur isko ek rakhna yuvaon ki zimmedari hai.”Describing ABVP as “a movement, a mission, a national conscience”, he credited the organisation with shaping education policy, protecting cultural identity and strengthening unity campaigns. “The ABVP has done what other student organisations have not done,” he said.Somanath said India today possesses “moral clarity”, democratic stability and global technological heft. “This is the moment India has been waiting for for centuries. It has come… our time has come,” he told students, urging them to “dream big and be bold” as India moves toward its 2047 goals.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.

India and the US have achieved a significant milestone with the NISAR mission, successfully deploying its 12-meter antenna and completing early calibration. ISRO has now released the first S-band radar images, showcasing the satellite’s capability in observing Earth’s diverse landscapes, marking the commencement of its science phase. BENGALURU: India and the United States have cleared a major milestone in their joint Earth-observation effort, with the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (Nisar) mission completing antenna deployment, early calibration, and the full commissioning run. The mission has now moved into its science phase, with Isro releasing the first set of S-band radar images on Friday, the 100th day of the satellite in orbit.After the successful launch of Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (Nisar) satellite onboard GSLV – F16 on July 30, the 12m diameter Antenna reflector has been successfully deployed. The 12-meter diameter antenna reflector plays a key role for both Isro’s S-Band and Nasa’s L-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload. The antenna was launched in a stowed condition on a 9m long boom, which was tucked to the satellite. The antenna and the 9m boom was developed by Nasa.The unfolding of the joints of the boom commenced on Aug 9, and was carried out over a period of five days (Wrist, Shoulder, Elbow and Root deployments). The reflector assembly mounted on the end of the boom was deployed successfully on Aug 15 and the performance of the antenna systems are satisfactory.The entire operations were carried out from the Isro Telemetry Tracking and Command Network (Istrac) with the support of Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).Commissioning Phase“Since the first acquisition on Aug 19, Nisar S-Band SAR is regularly imaging over Indian landmass and global calibration-validation sites in various payload operating configurations. Reference targets such as Corner reflectors were deployed around Ahmedabad, Gujarat and a few more locations in India for calibration of the images,” Isro said. Data acquired over Amazon rainforests were also used for calibration of spacecraft pointing and images. Based on this, payload data acquisition parameters were fine-tuned resulting in high quality images. Initial analysis by scientists and engineers revealed the potential of S-Band SAR data for various targeted science and application areas like agriculture, forestry, geo-sciences, hydrology, Polar/Himalayan ice/snow and oceanic studies. “The first image of S-band SAR acquired on Aug 19 captures the fertile Godavari River Delta in Andhra Pradesh, India. Various vegetation classes like mangroves, agriculture, arecanut plantations, aquaculture fields, etc are clearly seen in the image. The image highlights Nisar’s S-Band SAR ability to map river deltas and agricultural landscapes with precision,” Isro said.“On the 100th day of Nisar in-orbit, the S-SAR images are released to the public… the science phase has now commenced,” Isro added.About the AuthorChethan KumarChethan Kumar is a Senior Assistant Editor with the Times of India.
