Chandrayaan-3 Tiranga Point is ‘filling us with pride’: PM Modi calls Shiv Shakti Point ‘new centre of inspiration’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the Chandrayaan-3 Tiranga Point is "filling us with pride" and the Shiv Shakti Point is a "new center of inspiration."

The Chandrayaan-3 Tiranga Point is the spot where the Chandrayaan-2 lander crash-landed in 2019. The Shiv Shakti Point is the landing site of the Chandrayaan-3 lander, which touched down on the Moon's south pole in August 2023.

In a speech to ISRO scientists on August 26, 2023, PM Modi said:

"Tiranga Point is filling us with pride. It is a symbol of our courage and determination. Shiv Shakti Point is a new center of inspiration. It will inspire generations of Indians to come."

PM Modi also praised the role of women scientists in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. He said that the success of the mission was a testament to the talent and dedication of Indian scientists.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a significant achievement for India's space program. It is the first time that India has landed a spacecraft on the Moon's south pole. The mission is expected to provide new insights into the Moon's geology and composition.

The Tiranga Point and Shiv Shakti Point are important landmarks in the history of India's space program. They are a reminder of India's growing capabilities in space exploration.
