The successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon has rung in India’s annual festive season earlier than usual, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday, crediting domestic industry for supporting the ISRO by supplying the components for the mission.
Speaking to business leaders from around the world attending the B20 India summit, the Prime Minister said: “You have come here at a time when there is a celebratory mood in our whole country. India’s long annual festival season, in a way, has been preponed. This festive season is such that our society as well as business celebrates it. This time, it has started from August 23 itself.”
