National Space Day

[2] On 23 August 2023, the Indian Space Research Organisation reached a significant milestone by successfully landing Chandrayaan-3's lander and rover on the Moon.

Recognizing this achievement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi proclaimed August 23 as "National Space Day" in India.

On January 24, 2023, ISRO signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a prominent science organisation Vijnana Bharati (VIBHA), which is dedicated to promoting scientific knowledge and awareness, to collaborate on a unique initiative called “Space on Wheels.” The primary goal of this initiative is to disseminate information about ISRO's activities and India's space missions to school students across all states of India.

To support this, numerous NGOs and educational institutions have developed frameworks that encourage students to register and explore space science and technology.

Additionally, digital content creators and online educators use social media and mobile applications to offer virtual learning experiences.

Following team selections and the release of competition details, participants showcased their hardware and rover functionality through video submissions and design reports.
