Abstract


The Nehru era in India, led by Jawaharlal Nehru from 1947 to 1964, had a profound impact on Indian space research and education. Nehru's vision of scientific progress and his establishment of key institutions laid the foundation for India's achievements in these fields. The article highlights the establishment of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), satellite launches and missions, and the creation of premier educational institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Nehru's emphasis on education and scientific development during his tenure continues to shape India's scientific landscape and inspire future generations.
