India schedules first crewed space mission for Q4, 2024 India has named the fourth quarter of 2024 as the likely date for the nation’s first crewed space mission. Just three nations – the USSR/Russia, the USA, and China – have launched crewed missions. India’s Minister for Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh, yesterday revealed the 2024 target in an answer [PDF] to a …
They seem to screw up badly on many things(especially with corruption everywhere), but they can do space stuff relatively cheap.
Heres to hoping for another space worthy human rated space transport soon.
More people able to get to space thru different means, the better, from my view.
Because Department of Space comes directly under Prime Minister's Office. There is very low level of bureaucracy in between. Same with Department of Atomic Energy. These two departments are only government undertaking that has not messed up and worked fine ever since it's creation.

India does not and has not received any aid since 2015.
Since 2015, the UK has given no financial aid to the Government of India.
Instead, our development partnership with India is based on sharing skills, expertise, and development capital investments that help the poor and generate returns on our investment; our work reduces poverty, tackles climate change, and creates new partners and markets for the UK.
To date £80.2 million of our ODA investment has been returned to HMG.
You should just get a hold of yourself. Britain doesn't provide any aid to India and if it happens, it must be by some shady NGOs. India government spend $41.4 Billion of food subsidies in FY21-22. That is 8% of total federal (cental) budget. While India spend just 0.33 of it's budget on space and 0.047% of GDP in the same year. India is second largest source of FDI in UK. India has lifted 415 Million people out of poverty from 2005-06 to 2020-21. You should better focus on managing your dwindling economy and food shortage and NHS crisis instead of feeling to entitled. Seems like your 'Colonial Amnesia' hasn't gone yet.
