On 11 May 1998, India conducted a series of nuclear tests in the Pohkran, Rajasthan. The tests were successful and since that day India has had drastic breakthroughs in the field of technology and science – like India’s moon mission ‘Chandrayan’ and the launch of 104 satellites with one rocket!

To celebrate these achievements, India celebrates National Technology Day on 11 May.
