Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (I/C) Science and Technology, on Tuesday congratulated scientists and engineers of Raman Research Institute (RRI) for designing and developing the Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX), the primary payload onboard the XpoSAT which was successfully launched on January 1 by ISRO.
Dr. Singh, who was the chief guest at the closing ceremony of the platinum jubilee celebrations of RRI, said: “Chandrayaan-3, Aditya L1, and the recent XPoSat mission, in which the scientists from RRI were involved, are India’s science success stories that have convinced the world on the country’s talents and scientific capabilities. The ascendance of India’s growth has already started.”
He said that scientists and scientific institutions need to integrate and work for the country’s collective growth. He expressed hope that the country would have reached greater heights by the year 2047 as envisioned by doyens of Indian science, like the institute’s founder Sir C.V. Raman.
