But there was a major roadblock.

Answer 1

Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the great scientist from ISRO, selected a site in Thumba, Kerala, to set up a Space Research Centre because of its proximity to the magnetic equator. However, there was a problem obtaining that piece of land since it housed a fishing ground for the locals, an old church, the Bishop’s house and a school.
