Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an exclusive interview to NDTV, explained why the government named the spot on the Moon where India's Chandrayaan-3 lander Vikram touched down as 'Shiv Shakti'.
On August 23, 2023, the Indian Space Research Organisation's Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander successfully touched down on the dark side of the Moon near the south pole. The Pragyaan rover onboard the lander rolled down and left imprints of the national emblem on the surface.
