Kolhapur: Indian Space Research Organisation chairman AS Kiran Kumar on Monday said that exploiting technology to provide solutions to social issues still remained "significantly underexplored".

He was speaking at the convocation ceremony of the Shivaji University here. The university awarded degrees to 50,444 students this year. He told the gathering that new technologies provided the opportunity to address challenges, create new information sources, networks, communities and social interaction.

"While powerful technologies are evolving on one side, society is facing issues with respect to availability of natural resources and energy on the other side.
Exploiting technology to provide solutions to social issues still remains significantly underexplored," the ISRO chief said.
