The project will be extended to other states in the next phase. Will be increased.” ISRO Chairman S Somnath said in a video message that V-SAT connectivity will help the ministry handle education and health care related activities, an official said.

Also signed agreement for partnership with AIIMS-Delhi to set up “Munda Chair”. It will serve as a multidisciplinary platform to conduct advanced research on tribal health issues with special emphasis on sickle cell anemia. .

AIIMS will also organize training programs for doctors and paramedical staff working in tribal areas, officials said.
