According to my opinion, India is a developing country. But whether it has really reached that level of development where it needs to compete in space missions where most of the populations are fighting against the poverty. Scientific advancement should be encouraged but side by side a portion of the money should be granted for the social welfare of the people.

Scientific research is very important thing and in case of space research, it is done for the search of resources however, it already proved its importance by its applications of its various theories in many inventions. How can one think of its country's development without investing in research which is advance way of getting education and knowledge.

I think space missions like chandrayan is total wastage of money, such missions can only give name & fame but can't reduce poverty. Instead of doing such a research work that requires lot of money, govt should invest money in improving satellites that gives weather report, because we all know how poor our weather forecasting department is.

I am in the motion of the topic. India is a developing country and to make it a developed country, we need to make full usage of the resources provided to us and after we have established ourselves as a developed country, then we can think about space missions. Half the people in India live below the poverty line and we need to support them.

Space missions are a good venture for developed nations but India is still a developing nation, whatever great achievements received by our citizens still the world considers India a third world country.
Poverty and Uneducation are still a basic problem in India.
The government should solve the problems that have the highest priorities.

Space missions are not exactly useful especially when the country is not that developed enough. 40% of children are still suffering malnutrition. India produces 50000 doctors a year. Still, 2 million citizens die due to tuberculosis. So should the government spend on space or for the welfare of people?

Guys how can we tell that space missions are not solving economic problems? The poverty rate of America was 33% before launching their space mission but after that it was reduced to 15%. Space projects provide employment opportunities which is very important for a country to develop economically.

In my opinion, Indian exploration to space has a great opportunity to be invested by many under developing countries. When we were in war with Pakistan in 1999. USA stopped the GPS system. But now India have its own navigation system which means we are not dependent on such kind of purpose now.

Space Missions are not a wastage of resources, but is should be done with limited resources. Because space missions are a great source of knowledge about this world, and Indians should not be behind in such matters as without knowledge country can't progress & solve many natural problems.

How can you say Divya, do you think that India is developed country with enough sufficient renewable resources. It should be preserved for the next generations. Do you know that space missions requires some tons of litres of energy for its successful completion of its task.
