Threats to space assets and India’s option

  Chanakya once said “ The serpent may, without being poisonous raise high its hood, but the show of terror is enough to frighten people, whether he be venomous or not”. It means that India though will not harms anyone, but it will have to develop Anti-satellite to protect itself which though might not be affective when it comes to attack by others, but it is sufficient to create terror among them.   Space assets meant both a satellite and a ground station with trained and technically competent manpower attached to them.

Emergence of Micro-finance

Microfinance is a concept which proved as blessing in disguise for poor. Banking and financial services never thought about providing loans to the one who does not have funds but to the one who already have. It was difficult for poor to enjoy financial services and investment benefits. They do not have any security to be pledged or mortgaged for loans and also they do not have any guarantor who can guarantee on their behalf. So receiving repayment from such people seems impossible thus all the doors were closed for them. They were very intellectual but lack sources of finance. They needed small money to turn up the big ideas, which is a distant dream because of unavailability of funds. They avails all the domestic opportunity.
