“We are very proud that as children of Bharat, the country, we are celebrating Raksha Bandhan in the country, in this world now but we can celebrate Raksha Bandhan even in the Moon,” she said.
“We have landed in the Moon - Chandrayaan. So, we are very proud about our space scientists. And we are thankful to our honourable Prime Minister for creating such a situation. Now, we are not just reaching the Moon, we are going to reach the Sun also. That is a great initiative from our scientists,” she added.
She was addressing the ‘Rakhi for soldiers’ programme organised by Samskruti Foundation (SF).
The Governor advised youngsters to learn from the country’s space scientists. She said the country could achieve success with the Chandrayan-3 mission because of bondage, love and affection.
