India's space port opened its launch pads and Mission Control Centre to 580 students
Background
A group of 580 young students selected through the selection procedure of Jagriti Sewa Sansthan visited ISRO's Satish Dhawan Space Centre, SDSC SHAR, which ISRO's own page calls the Space Port of India.
During the visit the students interacted with senior ISRO scientists and toured key facilities including the first and second launch pads and the Mission Control Centre, the infrastructure that supports India's space launches.
Their selection was based on an evaluation process conducted by Jagriti Sewa Sansthan, which identifies young talent with a passion for entrepreneurship and societal impact.
Jagriti Sewa Sansthan organises the annual Jagriti Yatra, a 15-day entrepreneurial train journey covering over 8,000 kilometers.
ISRO describes the visit as combining learning, inspiration and real-world exposure, and as encouraging careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
