Seven out of eight SAARC member nations are a part of the project which Pakistan refused to join as it did not want the "gift" from India, PTI reported.
New Delhi: The South Asia Satellite, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday described as India’s “priceless gift” to its neighbours, will be launched on May 5.
"We have always attempted to move ahead with the concept of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas (cooperation of all, development for all)," Modi said in his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio address.
"This is an appropriate example of our commitment towards South Asia....The satellite of South Asia will help in the overall development of the entire region," Modi said.
