The festivities will also take place at eight other locations in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Odisha.

At the venues, science exhibits depicting India’s advancements in space will be on display.

Senior ISRO scientists and officials will attend the inaugural and valedictory sessions at all locations.
