India is prepared for the G20: On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to the Mission Chandrayaan as a representation of the spirit of the New India and declared that the nation is now completely ready for the September 8–10 G20 leaders’ conference to be held in Delhi.
In his remarks at the 104th Mann Ki Baat, Modi praised the women scientists from the Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) who participated in the Chandrayaan expedition and wished the country a happy Raksha Bandhan.
“Mission Chandrayaan has become a symbol of the spirit of New India, which wants to win in any situation and also knows how to win in any situation,” PM said.
He said that India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission was a living example of women power.
“I told in Red Fort that women-led development should be established as the characteristic of the nation and Chandrayaan too is a prime example of that. In this mission, many women scientists and engineers were directly connected to the mission and many key roles were handled by them and have even gone on to make their mark on outer space. Who can stop this nation now from being a developed state?” he said.
