On August 3, 2014, while addressing the Parliament of Nepal, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed the need to launch a common satellite for South Asia. The idea of a South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) satellite is not new. On April 26, 1998, the idea of a SAARC satellite was discussed by information ministers of the member states. Reviving that interest, Modi asked India’s scientific community “to take up the challenge of developing a SAARC satellite that we can dedicate to the neighbourhood as a gift from India”.
