India's space program faces a number of challenges, including lack of funding, limited access to technology, and inadequate infrastructure.

India's space program has contributed to the country's economic development in a number of ways, including by creating jobs and boosting the economy, enhancing scientific research and innovation, and improving access to education and healthcare.

India's space program has successfully collaborated with other countries on a number of missions, including the Chandrayaan-1 mission, the Mars Orbiter Mission, and the Gaganyaan mission.

The involvement of private companies in India's space program has had a number of positive impacts, including increased competition and innovation, reduced costs, and expanded scope of space exploration.

The primary goal of India's Gaganyaan mission is to send a human to space, making India the fourth country to achieve this feat.
