NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet on Tuesday adopted a resolution hailing the soft-landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the lunar surface, saying the success of the mission is a victory not just for Isro but a symbol of India’s progress and ascent on the global stage.
Union information and broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur said that the cabinet congratulated Isro, especially the women scientists, for their contribution to the mission’s success and lauded PM Modi for his leadership and vision to the Indian space programme.
The Cabinet also welcomed the announcement that August 23 would be celebrated as ‘National Space Day’. “Landing near the South Pole of the Moon, overcoming the arduous conditions, is a testament to the spirit of our scientists, who since centuries have sought to push the boundaries of human knowledge,” read the resolution.
It said the wealth of information being sent by the ‘Pragyan’ rover from the Moon will advance knowledge and pave the way for ground-breaking discoveries and insights into the mysteries of the planet and beyond.
“IN-SPACe as an autonomous body under Department of Space, to create an eco-system of industry, academia and start-ups and to attract major share in the global space economy was launched in June 2020,” the resolution said. tnn
