Only experiments may witness hurdles, but our effort continues forever. Entire India is behind you and supports you," said Mr Modi in his inspirational speech at ISRO on Saturday morning.

India is proud of our scientists! They’ve given their best and have always made India proud. These are moments to be courageous, and courageous we will be!
