Odisha Student Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya Builds Rocket and Advances Drone Technology
Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya, an engineering student from Bhadrak, Odisha, built and launched a rocket with his team despite limited resources, attracting national attention. In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted their work on his radio show Mann Ki Baat. ISRO, led by then-chairman K Sivan, conducted an extensive technical review of their project. Sanghapriya's early interest in science was nurtured by his father’s home science club, inspiring him to pursue innovations including drone technology used in defense operations.
