Maheshwar Rao shared key moments in the success of Chandrayaan-3 with the students. Female students should master research, improve coding skills and also pay attention to the latest technical aspects to move forward in their career.

Supriya said women have a great role to place in society. Equal opportunities were being created for women in every field and women scientists played a key role in Chandrayan’s success. Students should opt for a career in space science, she suggested.
