Every Year National Technology Day is celebrated across India on 11th May. It was on 11th May, 1998, that India achieved a major technological breakthrough by successfully carrying out series of nuclear tests at Pokhran, test firing of the indigenously developed Trishul missile and test flight of the indigenous aircraft Hansa-3.
It is a scientific miracle to develop nuclear power technology and when India managed to do it indigenously, the country had every reason to feel proud of itself. 11th May is the day when India flexed its technological muscle. It is also a sweet reminder of the success of the country in a strategically important area.
National Technology Day symbolizes achievements of India in the field of science and technology.
India has made rapid strides in every field of technology. Right from agriculture to software, India is a giant force in the world and very few countries can boast of such turnarounds.
Today, India has institutional, strategic, technological and manpower strengths and National Technology Day makes us remember this fact. The day enabled India to make its commanding presence felt in the global arena. Now, India cannot be taken lightly in any sphere of technology.
