How is the scenario of space education changing in UP?
Till a few years ago, no university or technical institute in Uttar Pradesh provided courses related to space technology. But now the picture has changed. Degree and diploma courses associated with this sector have started in Gorakhpur -based Madan Mohan Malaviya Technological University, AKTU and many other technical institutes. This change shows how the state is contributing to the development of the country by adopting new scientific possibilities.
