National Technology Day 2021 on May 11 celebrates the achievements and contributions of Indians to science and technology. This day serves as a reminder of India breaking into the elite group of nations with nuclear weapons. On May 11, 1998, India conducted three successful nuclear tests at the Indian Army's Pokhran Test Range in Rajasthan under Operation Shakti.
Former president Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, lovingly known as India's 'Missile Man' spearheaded the Pokhran tests
National Technology Day celebrates memory of Operation Shakti carried out by Indian Army and scientists.
The Technology Development Board ever since has been honouring scientists and engineers and their technological innovations that have added to the growth of India on this day.
