India had come a long way in terms of technology and communication after independence in 1947. At that time, there were no computers in India, neither modern communication system nor space technology. But in the coming decades, India made such rapid progress in science, technology and space research that today India is counted among the largest digital and space power country in the world. A major turning point in this revolutionary journey was when the Internet came to the common people in India for the first time in 1995. But many times the question arises that Internet came to India in 1995 but before that how did digital communication and ISRO work in the country. So today let us tell you that Internet came to India for the first time in 1995 but how did ISRO work before that.
How did the Internet start?
The public service of Internet in India started on 15 August 1995, when Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited provided Internet service to the common people for the first time in the country. Earlier the use of internet was limited only to government departments, education department and research networks. The beginning of Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited had put India on the path of digital revolution by bringing the Internet within the reach of common citizens for the first time. Before the advent of Internet, computer networking existed on a small level in India. But it was limited, slow and very expensive.
The use of dial up email services started between IIT and NCST in 1986. Despite this, there was no internet available for the common people which they could use in their homes. there are some people Bulletin Board System Like computers were connected through early digital services. In 1989, students in Powai, Mumbai organized the country’s first and largest Bulletin Board System Started live wire. Which created the initial digital community. But at that time it was a Facilitation Committee and Internet was still a distant thing for India.
How did ISRO work before internet?
India’s space program started long before the advent of the Internet and ran entirely on free technology. ISRO’s early rockets in the 1960s were assembled in a church lab and were sometimes taken to the launch pad on bicycles and bullock carts. At that time India had neither internet nor computer network. But scientific communication and calculations were done with the help of manual techniques and limited computers.
ISRO’s scientific strength before internet
20 years before the advent of internet in India, the country had sent its first satellite, Aryabhata, into space. Along with this, before the Internet, ISRO used to disseminate education through satellite to connect the villages. Education and agricultural work programs were also delivered to thousands of villages in the country through TV. ISRO had launched its satellite from SLV-3 in 1980. At this time, India had become the sixth country in the world which could send satellite by making its own rocket. The Internet reached the common people in 1995, but before that ISRO used to work with the help of its free communication system, satellite network, ground stations and scientific computing system. That country’s space research was progressing continuously even without the internet.
