Naming landing point ‘Shiv Shakti’ sends a message for gender equality: Scientists
Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to name the landing spot of Chandrayaan-3’s lander “Shiv Shakti” is a message for inclusivity and gender equality. During his address, the PM said that the spot where the lander, Vikram, made a soft landing on August 23 will be known as “Shiv Shakti”, and the spot where Chandrayaan-2’s lander crash landed in 2019 will be known as “Tiranga Point”. “Today is a celebration of ‘nari shakti’ and the women scientists of Isro today, as our honourable Prime Minister has named the site as Shiv Shakti, which has recognised and encouraged women across the country,” Brinda V, a senior scientist from Isro, said. Nidhi Porwal, a senior scientist from the UR Rao Satellite Centre, who was also present in the Bengaluru, said that while scientists worked tirelessly to ensure the mission’s success, the moment when the lander touched the lunar surface felt like “magic”.
