Chandrayaan 3: Today is the iconic August 23, 2023, and all eyes are restlessly waiting for Chandrayaan 3 to land on Moon marking it to be the most historic day. According to the Indian Space Research Institute (ISRO), Chandrayaan 3 is expected to land on the moon at around 6:04 pm today. Chandrayaan 3 is expected to make a soft landing on the moon’s south pole, i.e. the darker side of the moon. In view of this event, the Centre has asked all universities and higher educational institutes (HEIs) including IITs and IIMs to organise special assemblies to watch the live streaming of the landing.
In a letter to all heads of all education institutions, Higher Education secretary K Sanjay Murthy said, “The landing of India’s Chandrayaan 3 is a monumental occasion that will not only fuel curiosity but also spark a passion for exploration within the minds of our youth. It will generate a profound sense of pride and unity as we collectively celebrate the prowess of Indian science and technology. It will contribute to fostering an environment of scientific inquiry and innovation.”
Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan also extended his best wishes for the safe landing of Chandrayaan 3.
