Motifs & Values 

National Technology Day is celebrated by the nation to admire and revere the contributions of Indian talents. For 2023, the theme is ‘School to Startups – Igniting Young Minds to Innovate’. As the name is clear, the government is attracting inventions from the Indian Youth and is all set to support startups. 

Creators are welcome to put their ideas and actions into use in order to uplift India among other nations of the world in the highly competitive field of AI and Technology. Technology has assisted people with resources and tools and its role in different societies is swiftly flourishing. As Albert Einstein quotes, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”. 

What feat did India achieve in 1998?

Nuclear Tests were conducted by the government on May 11, 1998, under the guidance and ministry of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. At an Army test centre in Pokhran, Rajasthan, a ‘Shakti-I’ nuclear missile was fortunately fired. This positioned India among the exclusive group of nuclear power countries. 

India’s first-ever indigenous aircraft ‘Hansa-3’ was also tested from Bengaluru station on this day. The Defence Research and Development Organisation of India also initiated the test fire rounds of the ‘Trishul’ missile. 

Pokhran-II Tests were a series of 5 nuclear bomb explosions that happened for a period of 3 days beginning from May 11 to May 13, 1998, at the Pokhram Range of the Indian Army.
