About "Power, Pokhran Atomic Testing"

The first nuclear test in Pokhran was done in May 1974 with a code called 'Smiling Buddha'. The second test was Pokharan II, which was a series of five tests of nuclear bombings, which was done by the Indian Army in the Pokhran Test Range in May 1998. Five explosions occurred in Pokhran II, the first of which was a fusion bomb, while the other four were fission bombs. Due to these nuclear tests, many major countries against India, including the United States and Japan, have imposed various restrictions.

Pokharan II or Operation Power was launched on May 11, 1998 with the explosion of two fragmentation bombs and a fusion bomb (the word "power" in Sanskrit means "strength"). On May 13, 1998, two additional explosions exploded bombs Gaya and by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Indian government soon called a press conference for the declaration of India as a complete nuclear nuclear state. Various names were kept for the while the main name was kept in the form of "Operation Shakti-98" and five atomic devices were classified as Shakti from 1st to Shakti Pancham. The entire operation was recently called Pokharan II And the 1974 explosion is called Pokhran I.

History of National Technology Day

On May 11, 1998, National Technology Day is celebrated to create a memorial for the nuclear test held in Pokhran. This is a day of pride for all citizens of India. This day also praises the importance of science in our lives. On 11th and 13th May 1998, India conducted five atomic tests in Pokhran, Rajasthan. The initial five tests were conducted on May 11 when three atom bomb blasts were recorded while registering seismic vibration on 5.3-rickshaw scale. National Technology Day is celebrated in India since the remaining two trials were conducted on 13th May.

National Technology Day is Celebrated

On May 19, 1998, India successfully carried out the nuclear missile-power-1 in the test range of Indian Army in Pokhran, Rajasthan, in an operation conducted by late President and Aerospace Engineer Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. After two days, the country successfully tested two additional nuclear weapons. After this, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee declared India as a nuclear power, which was the sixth country in the world to do so and India became the first country to sign a nuclear weapon treaty (NPT) separately from the countries of "Nuclear Club" Do not keep The NPT is a global treaty signed by Britain, Russia, China, France and the United States, which aims at curbing nuclear weapons and achieving nuclear disarmament.

The country's sixth nuclear power was not the only achievement that India had achieved on that day. When the nuclear tests were being conducted in Rajasthan, when India's flagship indigenous aircraft Hansa-3 was flown in Bengaluru. Hansa-3 was developed by the National Aerospace Laboratories. It was a two-seat, lightweight general aircraft used for sports for sports, pilot training, aerial photography, surveillance and environmental related projects.

Apart from this, on May 11, 1998, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) completed the last test-fire of the Trishul missile, which was then included by Indian Air Force and Indian Army in its service. Surface-to-air, quick-response, short-range missile trident was a unit of India's Integrated Guided Missile Development Program, which resulted in the formation of Earth, Sky and Fire Missile System.

Based on the achievements of these immense successes by the country's engineers, scientists and technicians, Atal Bihari Vajpayee declared May 11 as National Technology Day.
