"With Swayam in space, the students and faculty members, who burnt the midnight oil to make this happen, have added another feather in the college's cap. I congratulate the students for their astounding feat," he said.
 
Tawde was at the 162-year-old premier institute, an autonomous body of Maharashtra government, to felicitate the students and faculty members for their feat.
 
He said the Higher and Technical Education Department will provide Rs 50 lakh for CoEP's next satellite project.
