Initiatives like Chandrayaan and accessible healthcare exemplify science’s role in self-reliant India. Birla called for extending scientific mindset to masses, saluting contributors to the nation’s promising tomorrow.
Dr. S. Jaishankar praised scientists’ perseverance in expanding horizons across AI, aerospace, security, informatics, medicine, farming, and renewables. Their triumphs galvanize young talent, fortify finances, safeguard sovereignty, and enrich existence.
