The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has approved a grant of ₹20 lakh for the Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology (VVIT) in Andhra Pradesh. The funding is designated for a research project focused on enhancing space-science capabilities at the institute. This endorsement by ISRO gives VVIT a significant boost in its research ambitions and positions the college as a growing hub for scientific investigation.
VVIT has expanded its infrastructure, added faculty and programmes, and sought to strengthen its research output. With the ISRO funds, the institution plans to deploy the grant for consumables, testing, travel and minor equipment specifically tied to the project. The move aligns with ISRO’s broader agenda to support academic institutions across India and promote research in space science and related fields.
For VVIT, this grant opens up new opportunities: increased visibility, better training for students and faculty, and a stronger platform for future proposals. It also sends a signal that smaller institutes can attract national-level grants if they align with strategic research goals. As VVIT begins to execute the project, the outcomes may influence its next wave of research projects and partnerships.
