New Delhi, June 25, 2025 (ANI): On launch of Axiom 4 Mission piloted by IAF's Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said, “India's ascent to the pedestal of Viksit Bharat has started via space.” “It is indeed the vindication of the founding fathers of India's space program, Vikram Sarabhai and Satish Dhawan. It is so that this vindication of our founding fathers had to happen under the leadership of PM Modi. India is no longer a follower but an equal partner in all our collaborations. Shubhanshu Shukla is possibly the most crucial member of this mission as he performs seven crucial experiments designed by Indian institutes. These will be of vital importance to all agencies across the world.”
