After arriving at the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) airport, the Prime Minister while addressing thousands of people gathered to welcome him, said, “The point where Chandrayaan-3 landed will now be known as Shiv Shakti. In Shiv, there is resolution for the welfare of humanity and Shakti gives us strength to fulfil those resolutions. This Shiv Shakti point of the moon also gives a sense of connection with Himalaya to Kanyakumari.”
“The point where Chandrayaan-2 left its footprints will now be called Tiranga and that it will serve as an inspiration for every effort that India makes and remind us that failure is not the end,” the Prime Minister added.
Further, Modi announced that August 23, the day the Chandrayaan-3’s lander made a historic soft-landing on the Moon will be commemorated as National Space Day.
“National Space Day will celebrate the spirit of Science, Technology and Innovation, and inspire us for an eternity,” he added.
