On 11th May, 1998 India achieved a major
technological breakthrough by successfully carrying out nuclear tests at
Pokhran. Also first, indigenous aircraft "Hansa-3" was test flown at
Bangalore on this day and India also performed successful test firing of the
Trishul missile on the same day.
Considering above technological
achievements on a particular date i.e. 11th May, the day of 11th May was chosen to be commemorated as National Technology Day.
Technology Day is celebrated as a symbol of
quest for scientific inquiry, technological creativity and the translation of
that quest in the integration of Science, Society and Industry. This day is
also celebrated to honour technological innovations and their successful
commercialization which makes fruits of research reach people at large.
