The day, May 11, has been declared National Technology Day by the Indian Government in order to commemorate the history of India’s technological capability and expertise. The day holds importance of its own, as on this particular day, India achieved a huge technological progression. The first, indigenous aircraft “Hansa-3” was test flown from Bangalore. India performed successful test firing of the Trishul missile on the same day and also executed three successful nuclear tests, carried out at Pokhran, in Rajasthan.
