Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission in the 104th episode of Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, noting the involvement of women scientists and engineers in the country’s space program. These women “have handled many important responsibilities, from project director to project manager of different systems,” Mr. Modi said.
“When everyone’s efforts converged, success was also achieved,” he said on the moon mission. “The success of Chandrayaan has increased manifold the festive atmosphere.”
India is “fully prepared” for the G20 Leaders’ Summit to be held in New Delhi next month, Mr. Modi said. “India has made G20 a more inclusive space. It was at India’s invitation that the African Union was also able to participate, and that the voice of the people of Africa has reached this important platform.”
