“I joined YATS because of my interest in ISRO's missions and the engineering behind each component. I aspire to develop electronic components for ISRO, advancing semiconductor technology in our country. YATS allowed me to explore my passion for space by facilitating meeting with eminent scientists, and visiting ISRO facilities. It was an unforgettable experience that deepened my understanding of satellites and ISRO's inner workings, and I made many like-minded friends dedicated to advancing our nation's space programme.” Asutosh AcharyaGMR Varalakshmi DAV Public School, Dhenkanal

I participated in YATS due to my interest in astronomy and space technology. I plan to pursue aeronautical engineering and research and Tata Steel’s YATS programme has been crucial in my journey. Visiting the Vikram Sarabhai Space Research Center and ISRO was a dream come true. I was overwhelmed by the instruments used in satellites, Chandrayaan, and Mangalyaan. The trip was incredibly informative and I am grateful for the opportunity.” Ranesh SwainDAV Public School MCL Kalinga Area, Talcher, Angul

YATS (Young Astronomer Talent Search) the examination which provides the students of Odisha the opportunity to visit ISRO and fulfil their dreams has helped me a lot. I was motivated by the fact that I will get the golden opportunity to visit ISRO which is a rare opportunity and not everyone gets it. YATS helped me to develop my thinking skill, it gave us the opportunity to visit ISRO Ahmedabad and learn about how the various work is done. Ananya SinghDev International School, Jajpur
