Tamil Nadu Launches Space Policy to Boost Sector
Tamil Nadu is starting its own space program!
They made a plan to help space companies set up shop, create jobs, and make cool technology.
The government wants to use space tech to help people in areas like disaster relief and farming.
They're offering money and incentives to companies that invest in the space sector, hoping to attract lots of money and create thousands of jobs in the next five years.
This means more satellites, rockets, and hopefully, a better life for people in Tamil Nadu!
