It's not bad having some extra feather on cap.

But I don't find anything much useful on Venus. Wondering why it attracts everyone. Soviets, Americans, Europeans, Japanese and now Indians.

More important, I'm waiting for HLVs after which we will be able to carry out exciting deep space missions like to Jupiter, Neptune and even beyond Solar System in long term, somewhat like Voyager.

Waiting for all the "poor needy hungry openly defecating people who could benefit from better use of this money" backlash

On topic: the funds for this mission could have better been put forward towards exploring the possibility of colonizing Mars or resource extraction.

Already mentioned in ISRO's long term plan, setting an observatory on Moon as well as searching for resources like Titanium and Helium-3 in Moon soil.

It's just a peanut experimental mission Mgy-1 to collect some data if needed in future.
