Ans: We have the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), which is equivalent to NASA.

2. On one hand we are talking about bringing 100% literacy in the country. On the other hand, day by day the education is becoming more and more expensive. How can a rational balance be brought about between the two. Is it possible? If so, how?
