NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the nation in the 119th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat,’ celebrating India’s remarkable achievements in space exploration. He highlighted ISRO’s 100th rocket launch and praised the nation’s growing list of space milestones, including the successes of Chandrayaan, Mangalyaan, Aditya L-1, and the record-breaking launch of 104 satellites.
Here are the key quotes from PM’s address:
- “The Champions Trophy is going on these days… But today, I am not going to talk about cricket with you all; rather, I will talk about the wonderful century that India has made in Space. Last month, the country witnessed ISRO’s 100th rocket launch… With time, the list of our achievements in space flight continues to grow longer. Be it building a launch vehicle, the success of Chandrayaan, Mangalyaan, and Aditya L-1, or carrying out the unprecedented mission of launching 104 satellites into space.”
- “Recently, I visited Paris to participate in a big AI conference. There, the world praised India’s progress in this sector… Recently, Thodasam Kailash, a government schoolteacher in Telangana’s Adilabad helped us preserve our tribal languages. Using AI tools, he composed a song in the Kolami language. Be it the space sector or AI, the increasing participation of our youth has brought in a new revolution.”
- “I will hand over his social media accounts for a day to inspiring women to mark National Women’s Day.”
