In his Mann ki Baat radio address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the successful launch of Chandrayaan 2 despite the early setback was an unprecedented achievement. Modi also lauded the Chandrayaan 2 mission for being Indian to the core. “It is a totally swadeshi and home grown mission. We are now eagerly waiting for September, when Lander Vikram & Rover Pragyan will land on lunar surface,” the PM said.
This was his second radio address after assuming office for the second term. In his address last month, PM Modi stressed on need of the hour to conserve water as drought looms large in the country.
In Sunday’s address, Modi lauded Meghalaya and Haryana for initiatives to conserve water. “Meghalaya has become the first state to have formulated its own water-policy. I congratulate Meghalaya govt. In Haryana, crops that require meagre water are being encouraged. Farmers thus are saved from suffering losses,” Modi said.
Speaking of floods in different parts of the country, Modi said that Centre and state governments are working at a “lightning pace” to provide people relief and succour.
During his radio address, PM Modi invited youngsters for a quiz competition. "Space sector, India's space missions and technology will be the main topics of the quiz. On August 1, details of the competition will be put out on the MyGov website," said PM Modi.
"Students who secure the highest marks in their state would be taken to Sriharikota in September to witness Chandrayaan landing on the surface of the Moon," says Modi.
"Two lessons that I have learnt from the Chandrayaan 2 mission are - faith and fearlessness. One should have faith in their capaibilities," says PM Modi.
"Chandrayaan 2 is Indian to the core. It is purely Indian in heart and spirit. It is a totally swadeshi and home grown mission. We are now eagerly waiting for September, when Lander Vikram & Rover Pragyan will land on lunar surface," adds the PM.
Meghalaya has become the first state to have formulated its own water-policy. I congratulate Meghalaya govt. In Haryana, crops that require meagre water are being encouraged. Farmers thus are saved from suffering losses.
