A Day of National Pride

National Technology Day marks India’s 1998 Pokhran-II nuclear test success, a moment that cemented India’s strategic autonomy. Every year on May 11, the country reflects on its journey from being a technology importer to becoming a global innovator.

Rekha Gupta’s message echoed this sentiment, calling the day a symbol of “scientific courage and self-dependence”. She hailed the contribution of India’s engineers, scientists, and institutions like DRDO, ISRO, and BARC for making India a technologically empowered nation.

Rising Global Tech Influence

Rekha Gupta also noted that India is no longer just a developing country in the tech sector but an emerging leader on the world stage. “Each satellite launch, digital breakthrough, and innovation is a testament to India’s growing influence,” she emphasized.

Delhi, under her leadership, is also investing in technology-driven solutions for governance, education, and public welfare—aligning local progress with national aspirations.

A Salute to Scientific Legacy

The Chief Minister's tribute came with a broader call to empower young minds and innovators. “Let us inspire the next generation to dream big and innovate for the nation,” she said, urging educational institutions and governments to promote STEM fields actively.

National Technology Day is not just about celebrating past achievements but also about nurturing a tech-enabled future, a vision that leaders like Rekha Gupta are working to realize across India.
