India will put into orbit a dedicated youth satellite by 2007 to enable the youngsters of the world to connect to one other, President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said.

The proposal for the satellite had come about in Moscow recently, where he had discussed the matter with the Rector of the University of Moscow. Subsequently, the Indian government decided to go ahead with the project and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assured him he would "push [for] it,'' Mr.Kalam said in his special address on `Technical Education and National Development' to the heads of affiliated technical institutions at Anna University here on Friday.

Inviting the university students to "play a role [in the youth satellite],'' the President said it would focus exclusivelyon youth affairs and enable youth of one country to link up with those in others for deliberating upon issues of mutual interest.
