Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday interacted with the women scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) who were involved in the ‘Chandrayaan-3’ project. He lauded the key role that Nari Shakti played in the successful culmination of India’s maiden lunar landing mission.

While addressing the ISRO scientists, PM Modi said, “Women scientists played a key role in the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.” Following the scientific practice, PM Modi renamed the landing site where the Vikram lander touched down on the lunar surface as the ‘Shiv Shakti’ point. Going ahead, the PM highlighted the underlying importance of Nari Shakti and stated that they are behind the creation (Nirman) of this universe.

He added, “The ‘Shivkshakti’ point will inspire future generations to take up science in earnest and use it for the welfare of people. People’s welfare remains our supreme commitment.”
