FollowPrime Minister Narendra Modi’s first stop back in India from Greece on Saturday was Bengaluru where he interacted with and congratulated scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission.
Celebrating the success of India's Moon mission, the ISRO scientists presented a model of Chandrayaan-3, which featured the Vikram lander, Pragyan rover, and a propulsion module, as a representation of the nation's expanding space goals.
The ISRO chief also gifted several framed images of the Moon's surface to PM Modi taken after Vikram's soft landing on the Moon. The pictures served as a showcase for India's success on the moon's surface. Notably, the head of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) also gave PM Modi a picture of the legendary six-wheeled rover Pragyan safely scaling down from the Vikram lander.
Addressing ISRO scientists on Saturday, PM Modi made two significant announcements: Chandrayaan-2's landing location, which "left its imprints," would henceforth be known as "Tiranga," and Chandrayaan-3's touchdown spot, "Shivashakti." In addition, the Prime Minister declared August 23 to be National Space Day to commemorate Chandrayaan-3's Moon landing.
“India is on the Moon. We have our national pride placed on the Moon. We have reached a place where no one has reached before! We have achieved a feat that no one has achieved before! This is today’s India. Bold and Brave,” said PM Modi as he addresses ISRO scientists in Bengaluru on the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon’s surface.
"Today, from trade to technology, India is being counted among the countries standing in the first row. In this journey from ‘Third row’ to ‘First row’, institutions like our ‘ISRO’ have played a huge role,” he added.
