Today, as I witnessed the launch of India's milestone mission from the launch gallery at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, there were glimpses of my blessings streaking through my mind.

I am Paragjyoti Garg and I am working as an Assistant Director at Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre, a regulatory body for space activities under the Government of India. I have been involved in the prestigious Chandrayaan 3 mission for the realisation and qualification of its solid propulsion systems. As part of mission readiness, I provided the final technical assessment for launch authorisation. I have been working for ISRO since 2014 and from that day one, I feel grateful to my alma mater LK Singhania Education Centre for creating favorable conditions for my successful personal and professional growth. I take this opportunity to thank LKS for the immense knowledge imparted to me and also the exposure provided to develop my potential in science. I also count my blessings each day for the friends and teachers at LKS who supported my ideas and helped me determine my calling for what I am today.

It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end!
