“ YUVIKA Training Is A Treasure Of Knowledge” – Kumari Gayatri Thakur.

After completion of fortnight training in space research at ISRO's  U. R. Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru, our young space researcher Kumari Gayatri Thakur returned Sagroli.

         To develop curiosity among young minds about space science, YUVIKA Programme has been initiated by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Gayatri was among 108 students selected from all over India for the fortnight training program. Two weeks long training programme was fully stuffed with invitees’ talks, experience sharing by eminent scientists, facility and lab visits, exclusive sessions for discussion with experts and practical and feedback sessions. An interactive session was also arranged with ISRO's Chairman Shri K. Shivan in mid-between. Some of the topics covered were about history of launching vehicles, different kinds of rockets, propulsions, satellites and their applications.

         During their visit to ISTRAC, ( Telemetry, Tracking And Common Network)  Bengaluru they were lucky enough to watch launching preparations of Chandrayan-2 which will be launched on 15^th July. All of them undertook one and half day tour at Satish Dhavan Satellite Centre, Shriharikota to see the satellite launching facilities and other details where she had a golden opportunity to see launching of sounding rocket.

         She said, “ My selection for the YUVIKA Programme is a great opportunity in my life. It would be impossible without the support given by Geography teacher Shri Pramod Bhandare. SSM undertaken activities such  Speak Well and Atal Tinkering Lab really serve their purposes of guiding and mentoring students.”
