National Technology Day: Here’s Why We Celebrate It

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.

Greetings on National Technology Day! We remember with immense pride the accomplishment of our scientists on this day in 1998.
The hard work of our scientists has always ensured a stronger and safer India. May we continue leveraging the power of technology for national progress.
