  • what made you think India prioritised it over those things?

    the budget for ISRO is much, much lower than the budget that goes towards programs to fix poverty related issues. ISRO is 0.27% of the indian budget.

    the remote sensing satellites have helped farmers, fishermen with actual food production, weather satellites with predicting disasters and saving lives.

    for us its worth the investment even without factoring in the nice to haves like finding water on the moon or launching private satellites.
