The challenge of the day is to stay updated and to keep the nation updated. While the formal education sector faces the challenges of quality and quantity. The needs have been changing with increasing globalization and commercialization. Satellite can establish the connectivity between urban educational institutions with adequate infrastructure imparting quality education and the large number of rural and semi-urban educational institutions that lack the necessary infrastructure. Besides supporting formal education, a satellite system can facilitate the dissemination of knowledge to the rural and remote population. Thus in spite of limited trained and skilled teachers, the aspirations of the growing student population at all levels can be met through the concept of tele-education. Therefore, there was a growing demand for an interactive satellite based distance education system for the country.
