Bengaluru (Karnataka): While hailing the ISRO scientists for the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that India has reached where no other county has. "We reached where nobody else could. We achieved what no one had done, this is today's India. This is a new India, which thinks in different ways. In the 21st century, India will solve several problems of the world," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
"I am feeling very happy to be amongst you. Such happiness is rare. I was in South Africa and then went to Greece, but my mind was with you. I wanted to bow before you," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while interacting with ISRO scientists, who were involved in the Chandrayaan-3 mission, India's third lunar mission.
The PM was welcomed by ISRO chief S Somanath. "I wanted to salute you. I salute your hard work and your passion," the PM said. "I recollect every second of August 23 (when the touch down on the Moon happened by Chandrayaan-3 mission). When the touchdown was confirmed, celebrations erupted in ISRO, the entire nation erupted in joy, I cannot forget that. Every Indian felt that they passed a big exam. This was all possible due to you (your efforts)," added Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
