India would send a human in space by 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort on Wednesday. If India achieves the said target, it will become only the fourth country in the world to send a human to space.

"India is proud of its scientists, who are excelling in their research and are at the forefront of innovation. In the year 2022 or before if possible, India will unfurl the Tricolour in space," Modi said during his final Independence Day speech in his current term in office.
