New Delhi: The special supplementary reading modules on the Chandrayaan mission brought out by the National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) credit Prime Minister Narendra Modi for its success, and mix space science with mythology.
“You know, due to the unsuccessful landing of Chandrayaan-2 on the Moon, the morale of all scientists shook, they were very sad. The Prime Minister of our country, Shri Narendra Modi, boosted the courage of our scientists and asked them to try once more. All scientists together tried and improved their work by learning from past experience so that the ‘lander’ could successfully land on the lunar surface by the launcher,” read an interactive module for nursery and Class I and II children, according to The Telegraph.
