25th Anniversary of Operation Shakti- National Technology Day Proof Coin Set
Celebrate India’s technological legacy with the 2023 25th Anniversary Of Operation Shakti-National Technology Day Proof Coin Set. This coin set commemorates a pivotal moment in India’s history when it demonstrated its nuclear deterrent capabilities through a series of tests in May 1998.
The journey towards this achievement began with India’s advocacy for total nuclear disarmament, culminating in the 1974 Peaceful Nuclear Explosion. Despite facing severe embargoes and technology denials, the Department of Atomic Energy, particularly BARC, and DRDO persevered, developing expertise in physics simulation, special materials, manufacturing, and electronics systems.
In recognition of these advancements, the late Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee designated May 11th as National Technology Day from 1999 onwards. Each year, this day celebrates the contributions of Indian scientists, engineers, and technologists under a unique theme.
