The All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) hosted a Chandrayaan Mahotsav in Bhubaneshwar on Monday to commemorate the Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission’s successful soft landing. The celebration is a part of a nationwide initiative by AIIMS institutes. Currently, 20 AIIMS are operational.
On August 23, India took a giant leap as the Chandrayaan-3 lander module successfully landed on the Moon’s South Pole, making it the first country to have achieved the historic feat and bringing to an end the disappointment over the crash landing of the Chandrayaan-2, four years ago.
Overall, India became the fourth country – after the US, China, and Russia – to have successfully landed on the moon’s surface.
