Title: The Inspiring Journey of ISRO's Rocket Man
Dr. K. Sivan, the former chairman of ISRO, rose from a very humble background to lead India's space missions. Born to a poor farmer in a village in Kanyakumari, he was the first graduate in his family, who had to overcome severe poverty. After graduating from S.T. Hindu College, he completed his Master's from IISC and a Ph.D. from IIT Bombay. Dr. Sivan joined ISRO in 1982, contributing significantly to India's rocket programs and eventually becoming the director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre. His journey from a boy who had no sandals to the man known as ISRO's 'Rocket Man' is a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance, and education.
