Dehra Dun: Former President A P J Kalam today said that India is planning to send its mission to Mars in 2030.
"We hope that we will be able to send the mission to Mars in 2030," he said at a school function here.
Significantly, Kalam had made a similar announcement here in 2001 regarding the Chandrayaan-I mission to the moon when he was scientific adviser to the government.
Answering a question, he said the best way to eradicate corruption in the country is to start a campaign from the home.
"For a nation of a billion people, if you ask your father, in case he is unfortunately corrupt, to stop corruption, this is the best way to stop corruption from the home itself. If everybody does that, then corruption will stop," Kalam told the school children.
