*Today is National Technology Day *

* May 11.  A day of self-esteem for Indians, a leap in world rankings.  A day to seal intellectual property. This record day in technology science is celebrated as National Technology Day. *

 * In the face of global pressures without fear of economic constraints India prepared for the consequences and carried out the first atomic explosion in Pokhran, Rajasthan on 18 May 1974.  The nuclear explosion was caused by the tireless efforts of scientists like Dr. Bhabha, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Dr. Sethna, Dr. Ramanna.  At that time Prime Minister was Indira Gandhi.  For the second time  tested the atomic bomb on May 11, 1998.  It had five times the capacity of the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima.  This is why no one would dare to look at India with a crooked eye.  It was credited to Missile Man Bharat Ratna Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam's team and the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee who took this tough decision. *

         * The world soon realized that the nuclear explosion was for peace, thanks to the cultural practices of Indian culture.  India's prestige in the world. *

         The home-made 'Hans 3' made by 'National Aerospace Laboratory' Bangalore also took to the skies today. *

         * India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) today successfully test-fired a surface-to-air missile called 'Trishul', which was instrumental in the country's defense. *

         * Technology revolution is taking place in all fields to make the life of Indians pleasant.  Corona did not let life stop in the crisis.  On the contrary, it has contributed a lot to the supply of Oxygen or medical care.  This technology is very useful in meeting all the growing needs, not just food and clothing.  The hardships in agriculture and industry are diminishing.  Items for pleasure .This technology is useful for services.  Medicine .. Surgery, Organ Transplantation .. Education .. Agricultural Tools .. Fruit Processing .. Transportation ..  Entertainment .. Banks everywhere are instrumental in the development of technology.  Information technology.  Spectacular success has been achieved in the field of space.  There are also big jobs. *

         * Technology was denied to India.  But Dr.  Vijay Bhatkar's team answered the world by creating the ultimate computer named Param supercomputer.  It was a huge success.  Environmentally friendly technology is the goal.  Great roads are being built fast.  Metro for transportation. Many options including Ethanol(C2H5OH) in water transport as well as vehicle fuel are becoming available with the help of technology.  Indian technology has made the country self-reliant in the field of defense. *

          * Indians are sharp intellectuals.  Even villagers can repair mobile, TV, vehicles without technical education.  The country's startup industry is the key to technological advancement. *

         * "This is my home of the world" has been brought closer to the world by technology.  Thank you to the experts in the field of technology who have made our lives happier by adding to India's progress day by day. Congratulations, this dialogue has become possible only because of you.  I wish a very and prosperous Happy National Technology Day to you all. *
