“Indians no longer look to other countries. Instead other nations look to India for inspiration.”
The nation should credit Prime Minister Narendra Modi for fostering a sense of collective pride in India’s achievements in space, said Union space minister Jitendra Singh moments after Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the moon on Wednesday.
Speaking to The New Indian, Dr Singh – who also serves as the minister of state for the department of atomic energy – said, “Every segment of society has been significantly engaged. Even members of the media have a strong sense of involvement.”

He said that India’s space missions were kept in a veil of secrecy for almost six decades. “Prime Minister Modi deserves recognition for opening the doors of Sriharikota. On the launch day, over a thousand media professionals were present to witness the event firsthand, an experience previously restricted,” Dr Singh added.
He further stated that the landing of Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander on moon’s south pole instills in Indians a sense of belonging, with every Indian recognizing this as tangible evidence of India’s ability to achieve remarkable milestones within the 25 years since the Amrit Kaal began.
