AS Kiran Kumar, chairman of Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) lauded the yeomen services of the KLE society rendering for the society since past one century in the fields of education and health.
Inaugurating the 100th Foundation Day of KLE Society, Kiran Kumar compared works of KLES with the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Bengaluru which celebrating its golden jubilee. Both organizations have done remarkable works for the society to improve living quality of the people, he said.
Saptarishis (seven founders) established KLE society 99 years ago to provide educational services to the society. Being from poor financial background, they collected donation and ran the institutions. The small sapling planted century ago is now turned into banyan tree of 250 institutions. Similarly, space scientist Vikram Sarabhai established space centre five decades ago along with friends from India and abroad five decades ago. Now the centre has grown up to the extent of launching indigenous Mangalyan satellite. Progress of both organizations is remarkable, he said.
So far Isro has launched 75 Indian and 53 of foreign satellites into space for the services of broadcasting, education, communication, metrological services etc. Disaster management is the major service of satellites. Digging bore wells turned 95%-96% successful in these days with the help of satellite services compared to earlier success rate of 40% to 50%. India has around 7,000 kms coastal line and satellites help fishermen to find out fish quantity in particular areas, which is saving around Rs 20,000 crore money from wasting.
Proud thing is India is the first country found water contents on moon and in a first attempt itself the country became successful in sending complete indigenous Mars Orbitory Mission (MOM) of around 400 million kms distance. “Our BSLV rocket is most reliable satellite vehicle in the world”, he said.
Isro chairman said organization will be launching five satellites of Singapore on 16th December. Besides, for effective GPS service, it has been launching group of seven satellites into space. Already four have been launched they are functioning well. Rest three will be launched between January to March 2016.

Meanwhile, Kore announces conducting 1 lakh free operations throughout the year as a part of centenary year of the society besides treating dental disorders of 50,000 school children.
