Narayanasamy told reporters that he had sent a greeting message to the Chairman of ISRO A S Kiran Kumar immediately after the successful launch.
"I congratulate the ISRO scientists on my personal behalf and on behalf of the government and people of the Union Territory", he said.
The ISRO has been scaling greater heights with successive feats as the Mangalyaan rocket had already brought fame and acclaim globally to the organisation, he said.
