The SCES has announced plans to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Aryabhata, India’s first satellite, on April 19, 2025. The initiative intends to ignite students’ interest in space science and technology by organising a variety of events throughout SCES-managed institutions.
Celebrations will be held at all SCES-managed educational institutions, including nine schools. These institutions, spread across Telangana’s coal belt region, will actively participate in the golden jubilee celebration.
Quiz challenges, essay writing, and drawing contests will be among the interesting activities planned for the celebration. These festivities, part of the Satellite Technology Day celebrations, will commemorate the historic launch of Aryabhata, a historic moment in India’s space voyage.
According to G. Srinivas, secretary of SCES, the event will not only honour Aryabhata’s legacy but will also showcase the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) significant contributions to space exploration. Students will learn about ISRO’s achievements and prospective space missions, stimulating scientific curiosity and innovation.
By organising this festival, SCES hopes to motivate young minds to pursue professions in space exploration and contribute to India’s expanding scientific and technological breakthroughs.
