It gives me immense pleasure to know that the Satish Dhawan Centre for Space Sciences is bringing out its Annual Progress Report 2025–26. The Centre has emerged as an important hub for academic excellence, innovation, and research activities in the frontier areas of space science and technology.The establishment of the Centre in collaboration with Indian Space Research Organisation reflects the shared vision of promoting advanced scientific learning and nurturing young minds towards nation-building through space research and technological advancement. I am delighted to note that the Centre has been actively engaged in academic programmes, research initiatives, student activities, outreach programmes, and collaborative efforts during the year.

        I appreciate the sincere efforts of the faculty members, researchers, students, and staff associated with the Centre for their dedication and commitment towards achieving academic and research excellence. I am confident that the Centre will continue to contribute significantly in the areas of space sciences, satellite technology, remote sensing, communication systems, and allied disciplines. I extend my best wishes to the Director, faculty members, students, and all stakeholders of the Centre for their future endeavours and hope that the Centre will continue to scale new heights in the years to come.
