1. Teamwork: "United we stand, divided
we fall."- John Dickinson
In the wake of the resounding success of Chandrayan III-, one could observe a splendid glow of contentment and pride beaming on the face of ISRO Chief, S. Somnath. He was accompanied by the other topmost, visionary scientist leaders of diverse teams who stood together in unity. The hall was packed with eminent scholars and scientists. Their positive and indelible aura cast a spell and mesmerized every Indian glued to their television screen or their mobile devices. Indians worldwide were over the moon to learn about the triumphant launch of the Indian spacecraft on the moon. The scientists were on cloud nine and depicted their relentless efforts over four years as fruitful and they were as happy as clam as the waves after a high tide.
2. Woman Empowerment: Gender equality:
"Gender equality in STEM: A win for everyone."
In
the room of scientists, one’s gaze would alight upon numerous women adorned in Indian
attire - sarees and elegant suits, that
harmonized exquisitely with the shining ID card displaying ISRO. This echoed
the Indian stance. In India, women can make their own destiny and create a
niche, and also boldly embrace the different aspects of a woman’s life, by
putting in dedication and pitching in the roles that once stood exclusively for
the domain of men, transcending gender boundaries. They have empowered
themselves and India has proved that the rights and education is equal for both
men and woman and each person in a team plays a vital role in missions and accomplishing
the goals for the entire country. A symphony of empowerment echoed through the
corridors, a testament to India’s unequivocal stance that both genders are
entitled to the same rights and opportunities.
3. Never give up: "Never give up on what
you want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all
the facts." - Albert Einstein
The
Chandrayan-2 mission encountered a setback as it fell short of realizing its
multifaced roles. The eminent team of scientists at that time were disheartened
and few of them even contemplated relinquishing their esteemed posts. But then
later realized that they should try again. They understood that Failures are
the pillars of success. In a crucible of
failure, seeds of triumph often take root. The entire ISRO team stalwarts embraced
the failure of Chandrayan-2 and geared up to set for the next mission again. Armed
with the wisdom gleaned from the previous attempt, the designs were improvised,
and the technology and code changed, though some parts and remnants of
Chandrayan-2 were reused and woven into future aspects. The budget was reduced by
Rs. 363 crores. During the launch of Chandrayan-2, PM Modi graced the event
with his presence in the satellite tracking hall of ISRO, but during the launch
of Chandrayan-3, he decided to virtually attend it.
4. Unity in diversity:
The
cost of Chandrayan-3 was modest when compared to the exorbitant budget of various
Hollywood movies. The successful landing of Chandrayan-3 has created an
ever-lasting impression on the denizens of planet Earth. All the Indians
irrespective of their caste or creed, or the state they belonged to united and
watched the live telecast of the launching of Chandrayaan-3. People of
different religions prayed fervently, organized community prayer meetings, and
sincerely wished from the core of their hearts for a successful mission.
Although people from India belong to different castes, colours, and creeds, and
speak different languages, at that time – everyone spoke the same language and
expressed the same emotion demonstrating profound unity and nationalism. After
the successful launch and moon landing, an exhilarating wave of celebration
spread through the populace and people danced to drum beats in the streets. it
was an exhilarating experience for everyone. Chandrayaan-3's success instilled
an infectious surge of patriotism, uniting all Indians under a single banner of
achievement. The momentous event transformed the Indians into a closely-knit
family.
5. Patriotism:
A large majority of Indian youth pursue academics and career opportunities abroad taking into consideration the tag of developed nations with a better lifestyle. This leads to brain drain. Many talented youths have left India to settle abroad. However, it is imperative that Indians should nurture a sense of pride in institutions like ISRO, that are doing path-breaking work. This kind of achievement showcases India is amongst the top nations in Space technology and the young scientists and engineers should stay put in India and use their creativity to achieve more such feats. All those aspiring to go and settle in other countries should understand that you have the capability to take India to new heights and zenith. The age of 'brain drain' must gracefully cede to an era of 'brain rain', a torrential downpour of innovation, creativity, and ingenuity that revitalizes India's landscape.
Conclusion
This
journey encapsulated not just scientific approach and progress but the
indomitable tenacity of the human spirit, a beacon of light for all the citizens
of India as well as the world to behold.
