Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised on Sunday the role of female scientists and engineers involved in the country's Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission.
"Many women scientists and engineers were directly involved in this entire mission, they have handled many important responsibilities such as project director and project manager," Modi stated. "When the daughters of a country become so ambitious, then who can stop that country from becoming developed," he added.
Earlier this week, India became the fourth country, after the United States, Russia and China, to land on the Moon and the first to make the landing on the lunar south pole. Following the landing, Modi said India will consider "a human flight mission as well for the future."
