India can develop a space station says ISRO Chairman

The Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was in Indore to attend the foundation day ceremony of Raja Ramanna Center for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) where he said that India can develop a space station - only, it needed a long-term approach and an ambitious planning.
His statement was against the backdrop of the successful launch of 104 satellites in a single mission by ISRO which is proof of the country's technological prowess.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 20 February 2017.

He asserted that the capability is there, and once the policy decision is taken and necessarily funds made available, the work can go ahead - ISRO would OK the project. He went on to add that the hesitation on the part of the authorities appear to be on the immediate benefits of a manned space mission.
A long-term thinking was needed to establish a space station.
