The declared primary objective of the Indian Space Programme/Mission is to achieve self-reliance in Space Technology and to execute programmes/missions for the socio-economic development of the country.

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) harnesses space technology for national development, while pursuing space science research and planetary exploration. ISRO is one of the six largest space agencies in the world and reportedly the most cost-effective space agency of all. 
The programmes/ missions drawn up and proposed by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for the socio-economic development of the country include:

 

To enable these, ISRO has embarked on the following programmes:

 

Some of the important applications being carried out by the Ministries/Departments of Government of India using space technology are given below:

India’s mission to Mars – The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) - launched on November 05, 2013 and successfully inserted into Mars orbit on September 24, 2014, has various achievements to its credit like,

 

India’s mission to moon - Chandrayan Mission-I in 2008 - discovered the presence of water on the surface of the Moon and turned a new chapter in the world’s understanding of Moon. 

The Government, in September 1992, has set up Antrix Corporation Limited (Antrix), as ISRO’s commercial arm, under the administrative control of Department of Space for commercial exploitation of indigenously developed space technology products and services. Antrix has taken steps to provide products and services by way of:

 

ISRO, through its commercial arm - Antrix Corporation Limited, till November 2015, has launched 51 satellites from 20 countries. 

Antrix, through the above activities has earned during:

 

The funds allocated for various space programmes during the last three years, year-wise are given below:
