our scientists. The data collected by the ‘Pragyan’ rover
promises to advance knowledge and unlock mysteries on the
moon’s surface and beyond,” the minister said.

two moon points – Tiranga point (Chandrayaan-2 footprint) and
Shivshakti point (Chandrayaan-3’s landing site), symbolizing our
rich heritage and scientific aspirations.”
Ngandam added that Chandrayaan-3’s success aligns with
prime minister’s call for ‘Jai Vigyan, Jai Anusandhan’, which will
expand opportunities for start-ups, MSMEs and job creation
while also promoting innovations.
