National Technology Day 2022: History, Significance and Why is it Celebrated on May 11 in India?
National Technology Day is one of the important landmarks of modern times. The National Technology Day is celebrated today, May 11 every year in India. The celebration highlights the importance of technology in our routine life as well as how technology has contributed to our economic growth.
Why Is National Technology Day Celebrated Today?
As mentioned above, National Technology Day is an important landmark of India's modern history. This brings us to the question of why National Technology Day is celebrated today, May 11? Or rather, one might ask what's the significance of May 11 and how is it linked to National Technology Day?
The answer dates back to 1998. It was on May 11, 1998, that India famously conducted the Pokhran nuclear tests. It was on this day that India conducted a series of five explosions under the guidance of Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam at the Indian Army's Pokhran range.
The success of the nuclear tests made India a nuclear state, which was declared by the then Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. And so, the day has been commemorated as the National Technology Day, celebrated in India.
