Ex-ISRO Scientist A. Sivathanupillai, who delivered the keynote speech at the closing ceremony, said:
When you read books continuously, knowledge will grow. Books also give advice on how to overcome problems in life. Now children are immersed in the internet. But the knowledge available by reading a book is not available on the internet. Parents should encourage their children to read books. Our country started involving in science and mathematics nearly 2000 years back. 
It was only after 1200 AD in Europe that scientific discoveries began to be made.
India has achieved many achievements in space exploration since independence. Soon we are going to send Chandrayaan 4 satellite to moon and take soil sample from there. Research is underway on how to send a man to the moon.
In 2040, India is going to set up a factory on the Moon. The Moon contains Helium 3, a rare element found nowhere else on Earth. Radiation occurs when uranium is used for nuclear power. But helium 3 is not radioactive. 
It is 3 times more energy than uranium. The factory to bring this Helium 3 to Earth will be in place in 2040.
Even after 25 years, no nation of the world has not been able to break India's record in missile production. He said that many people like Abdul Kalam have achieved various achievements in space research.
Peravai Vice President Ko.Vijayaramalingam proposed a vote of thanks.
