“Chandrayaan-2 Lander Ka Band Radar Altimeter and HDA Processor was flagged Space Applications Centre (SAC) from SAC, Ahmedabad to U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru. Ka Band Radar Altimeter and HDA Processor is one of the key payloads of Chandryaan-2,” said ISRO.

The UR Rao Satellite Centre is the lead centre of Isro for the design, development, fabrication and testing of all Indian made satellites.

Auto driver’s son set to join top Munich Institute

Auto driver’s son set to join top Munich institute: 

By Reya Mehrotra

Ganesh had tried for govt scholarships, but nothing worked so far. The 23-yr-old wants to start an e-commerce agricultural website when he returns from college. 23-year-old Ganesh RJ, son of an autorickshaw driver in Bengaluru, was over the moon when he came to know that he had been selected for a Master’s in Management programme in one of the top institutes in Germany.

His biggest inspiration is Jack Ma, co-founder of Alibaba Group and he plans to start an e-commerce agriculture website.

Born and brought up in Bengaluru, Ganesh studied in the city till Class 2 and then joined his mother in Chikkaballapur district, where his grandfather lived. He continued his education there till Class 5 and then wrote the entrance exam for Navodaya Vidyalaya, funded by the Centre which provides free education to children.

After his schooling, he joined PES College of Engineering in Mandya. When he completed his graduation in 2017, he was desperately in need of work to contribute to his family income. “Meanwhile, I joined an ashram in Chikkaballapur where I helped authorities with data entry work. One day, I came across a visitor at the temple who happened to be an entrepreneur and alumni of Stanford University, California. He motivated me to study further and search for postgraduate options. When I told him about my economic condition, he urged me to search for funding options.” So he wrote the entrance exams for universities abroad and got selected to Hamburg University of Technology. The fee was Rs 35 lakh there and he could not afford it.

‘I did an internship in a Bengaluru-based NGO which offers free education to children, and started working as a teacher. I taught Maths and English to Class X students. Later, authorities asked me to work for them on paid basis till I get my admission. I was lucky enough to clear another entrance and got into the Technical University of Munich, Germany, which is one of the best universities in the world.” He also did a German language course before his admission and scored 82%. “Currently, I am in the process of taking a loan and am approaching banks. I also tried getting loans through many state and central government schemes, but all in vain. I can manage fees, but for my accommodation and other expenses, I need a loan of Rs 17 lakh. To get a visa, I also had to show a minimum bank balance of Rs 7.5 lakh in my account. My mother managed the amount by borrowing a part of it from relatives and by pledging all her jewellery,” he says. He adds, “The only option now is to get a general loan where the interest is as high as 12% pa. The state government too has a scheme where it gives Rs 10 lakh per year to students of backward classes studying abroad. But I have not yet received any assurance from anywhere. I hope the education department processes the Devaraj Urs Foreign Education scholarship for aspirants like me. Otherwise, my dream of going abroad and completing my education will remain a dream.”
