Tipu Sultan was source of motivation for India to stand equally in the world: ISRO former chairman
Dharwad: The main reason for India to stand equally with the developed nations is Rocket Technology. Tipu Sultan was a source of inspiration for this, stated Padmashree Dr. AS Kiran Kumar, former president of ISRO.
He was delivering a talk at the 'Science and Technology in Kannada' conference held at the Golden Cultural Center in collaboration with the Dharwad Regional Science Center, Karnataka Science and Technology Academy.
Westerners conducted more research on the rocket technology used by Tipu during wars and then sent satellite and humans into space. In 1963, India also developed a rocket with its own capability. As a result, the cryogenic rocket engine has developed today.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
