While the historic success of Chandrayaan-3 is celebrated by Indians across the world, two untrumpeted engineering colleges in Kerala are basking in the glory of the key role played by some of their alumni in the crucial Moon mission.
Many of the space scientists who contributed to the successful mission had graduated from the College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram (CET) here, while ISRO chairman S. Somanath is a product of Thangal Kunju Musaliar College of Engineering (TKMCE) in Kollam.
Extending the institution’s happiness and pride over the contributions of its old students, Principal Savier J.S. said Chandrayaan-3 was a “proud moment” for the CET. “The College of Engineering Trivandrum can be immensely proud of the role played by several of its alumni in the success of the Chandrayaan mission,” he told PTI.
