मेरे प्‍यारे देशवासियो,

दुनिया भर के वैज्ञानिक जगत की fraternity आज MOM का मंगल से मिलन हो गया। आज मंगल को MOM मिल गई है। जिस समय इस मिशन का नाम, उसका Short form जब MOM बन गया तो मुझे पूरा विश्‍वास था कि MOM कभी निराश नहीं करती है। India has successfully reached Mars. आप सबको बधाई, देशवासियों को बधाई। और विश्‍व में भारत देश, और ये हमारे भारत के वैज्ञानिक वो पहले प्रयास में सफल होने वाला हिंदुस्‍तान, हिंदुस्‍तान के वैज्ञानिक, ये सफलता प्राप्‍त कर रहे हैं।

History has been created today. We have dared to reach out into the unknown. And have achieved the near impossible. I congratulate all ISRO scientists, as well as all my fellow Indians, on this historic occasion.

और मैंने पहले ही कहा कि साधन बहुत कम, अनेक मर्यादाएं और उसके बावजूद भी इतनी बड़ी सिद्धि प्राप्‍त होती है, वो वैज्ञानिकों के विश्‍वास के कारण उनके पुरूषार्थ के कारण, उनकी प्रतिबद्धता के कारण और इसलिए, हमारे देश के वैज्ञानिक अनके-अनेक अभिनंदन के अधिकारी हैं। और आज मुझे इनके बीच आ करके अभिनंदन देने का अवसर मिला है और अब देखिए इसकी, क्‍या कमाल है?

Travelling a mind-boggling distance of more than 650 million, or 65 crore kilometres.

यानी कि करीब-करीब 65 करोड़ किलोमीटर की यात्रा।

we have gone beyond the boundaries of human enterprise and imagination. We have, accurately navigated our spacecraft, through a route known to very few.

And, we have done so, from a distance so large; that it took even a command signal from Earth, more time to reach it, than it takes sunlight to reach us.

यानी कि सूरज की किरण को हमारे पास पहुंचने में जितना समय लगता है, उससे भी ज्‍यादा समय, यहां से हमारे वैज्ञानिक, उसे कुछ कहते हैं कि करो, उससे भी ज्‍यादा समय लग जाता है। यानी कि कितनी धीरज के साथ कमांड देने के 12-15 मिनट तक इंतजार करना पड़ता है कि गया, कि ठीक, नहीं गया है। कुछ हुआ कि नहीं हुआ। ये बड़ा कठिन होता है। अरे हम, भोजन की थाली पर बैठते हैं, खाना परोसने में देरी होती है, तो भी इधर उधर हो जाते हैं। तो इतने आप में इतना distance, उसके बावजूद भी, जिस धैर्य के साथ

The odds were stacked against us. Of the 51 missions attempted across the world so far, a mere 21 had succeeded.

But we have prevailed!

दुनिया में सबको सफलता नहीं मिली। बहुत कम मिली। और पहली बार में तो किसी देश को नहीं मिली। भारत के वैज्ञानिकों को, भारत को ये पहली बार सफलता मिली है।

With today’s spectacular success, ISRO joins an elite group of only three other agencies worldwide, to have successfully reached the red planet.

India, in fact, is the only country to have succeeded in its very first attempt. We put together the spacecraft in record time, within a mere 3 years of first studying its feasibility.

सिर्फ तीन साल में,यह छोटी बात नहीं है। हर हिंदुस्‍तानी आप लोगों के लिए गर्व करता है। नाज होता है। वैज्ञानिक के लिए नाज होता है।

Built it indigenously, in a pan-Indian effort stretching from Bangalore to Bhubhaneshwar, and Faridabad to Rajkot.

हमारे यहां के गवर्नर Vajubhai vala राजकोट के हैं। और इस Mars का एक instrument राजकोट में बना था और मैं अहमदाबाद इसरों में बार-बार जाता था। बड़ा मन करता था, क्‍या कर रहे हैं वैज्ञानिक बेचारे, एक लैब से बाहर नहीं निकलते हैं, तो कोई तो जाए मिलने के लिए। तो मैं जाता था और तब मुझे पता चला कि मिथेन गैस का sensor वहां बन रहा था और दूसरा, वहां कैमरा बन रहा था और शायद वह दोनों काम, उस समय मुझे बताया गया था, और शायद दुनिया में मिथेन गैस की जानकारी देने का पहला काम ये आपके प्रयत्‍नों से होगा। तो मैं जब ये, अहमदाबाद के इसरो में देखने के लिए जाता था, तो मुझे वहां के वैज्ञानिक हमारे गोस्‍वामी जी यहां है, मुझे सब समझते थे। क्‍या हो रहा है, कैसे हो रहा है।

Used a smaller rocket and payload to reduce the cost, even while increasing the complexity of an already challenging mission. मैंने पिछली बार जब गया था, श्रीहरिकोटा में, तब मैंने कहा था कि अमेरिका के हालीवुड में, जो फिल्‍में बनती हैं, मूवी, उससे भी कम खर्चे में हमारे वैज्ञानिकों ने काम किया है। यानी कि इससे ज्‍यादा खर्चा तो हालीवुड की मूवी बनाने में होता है। यानी कि कितनी बारीकि से Indigenes चीजों जोड़कर के छोटे-छोटे लोगों की मदद ले करके इतना बड़ा मिशन पार किया गया।

And launched it on our very own PSLV launch vehicle. These are all accomplishments that will go down as landmarks in history. Uncertainty is a part of the journey of every explorer who seeks to push boundaries.

The hunger of exploration and the thrill of discovery are not for the faint-hearted.

मेरे सामने दो प्रस्‍ताव थे। मैं आज ये रहस्‍य खोल दूं। जब ये आज सुबह मैं कहां रहूं? तो मुझे बताया गया, सब साइंटिस्‍टों ने कहा कि साहब, दुनिया में ये बहुत कठिन काम है। सफल होंगे, नहीं होंगे। आपको बुलाना, नहीं बुलाना, हमें दुविधा है। मैंने कहा, चिंता मत कीजिए। अगर विफलता आती है तो मेरी पहली जिम्‍मेवारी बनती है, इन वैज्ञानिकों के बीच आने की। और यश तो लेने के लिए सब आते हैं। लेकिन काम भी तो मंगल था। और जब काम मंगल होता है, इरादे मंगल होते हैं, तो मंगल की यात्रा भी तो मंगल होती है।

मुझे पहले कविताएं लिखने का शौक भी था, और समय भी मिलता था। तो मैंने एक बार लिखा था। वैसे लिखा तो गुजराती में है। लेकिन थोड़ा बहुत हिन्‍दी में बता देता हूं । मैंने लिखा था – कि अगर विफल होते हैं, तो आलोचना के शिकार होते हैं। और सफल होते हैं तो ईष्‍या के शिकार होते हैं।

आज हम सफल हुए हैं और इसलिए सफलता के साथ नई challenges भी आती है और वितवाद में, भारत के वैज्ञानिक में, भारत के यूथ में, भारत के talent में, कि हर चुनौतियों को चुनौती देने की ताकत, इन हमारी फौज में है। इन वैज्ञानिकों में है।

Innovation, after all, by its very nature involves risk; as you are trying to do something which has not been done before. It`s a leap into the dark. Humanity would not have progressed, if we had not taken such leaps into the unknown. And space is indeed the biggest unknown out there.

कभी कभी लोग सोचते हैं, risk क्‍यों लें, पानी में गए बिना तैरना सीखते हैं क्‍या, risk तो लेना ही पड़ता है। और सफलता बड़ी ताकत होती है, Risk लेने के निर्णय की moment क्‍योंकि एक अंधेरे में पैर रखना होता है और वो निर्णय करने का सामर्थ्‍य और मुझे तो अटल जी ने जब कहा था, हमें चन्‍द्र पर जाना है, ये हिम्‍मत होती है और तब जाकर लोग लग जाते हैं।

No one represents this zeal for exploring the unknown more, than our space scientists here at ISRO.

Through your brilliance and hard work, you have made it a habit of achieving the impossible.

अब मेरे इसरो के वैज्ञानिकों को impossible को possible करने की जैसे आदत ही लग गई है।

You have developed self-reliance across critical domains, often in the face of hostile circumstances.

Every generation of your scientists, has groomed the next home-grown lot

मुझे सबसे बड़ी खुशी इस बात की होती है, मैं जितनी बार आप लोगों के बीच आया हूं, हर पीढ़ी एक नई पीढ़ी को तैयार करती है। यह अपने आप में एक बहुत बड़ी बात है।

मैं देख रहा हूं, कितने यंग साइंटिस्‍ट मेरे सामने खड़े हैं। पुरानी पीढ़ी ने इनको तैयार किया है और ये नई पीढ़ी को तैयार करेंगे। यही परंपरा, गुरू शिष्‍य परंपरा एक प्रकार से हमारे देश की विशेषता रही है, जो मुझे आज ISRO में महसूस होती है। इन सीनियर मोस्‍ट वैज्ञानिकों ने जो परंपरा बनाई है, 50-60 साल में, वो आज भी आगे बढ़ रही है। इस कल्‍चर के लिए भी, इस परंपरा के लिए भी, आप सभी वैज्ञानिक बहुत-बहुत, इस उत्‍तम परंपरा को निर्मित करने के लिए अभिनंदन के अधिकारी हैं।

Through your achievements, you have honoured our fore-fathers, and inspired our future generations! You truly deserve all the love and respect you get from a grateful nation!

We Indians are a proud people!

Despite our many limitations, we aspire for the best.

The success of our space program is a shining example of what we are capable of as a nation.

Our space program has been an example of achievement, which inspires the rest of us to strive for excellence ourselves.

Moreover, space exploration requires cutting-edge expertise across diverse disciplines. A successful space program thus generates applications across multiple domains.

Our efforts in particular, have historically focussed on the ultimate objective of nation-building. Of translating space technology into space applications.

मैं जब गुजरात का मुख्‍यमंत्री था, मेरा अनुभव है। आप वैज्ञानिकों ने जो काम किया है, उसको अगर हम रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी में application करें, उसको apply करें, तो हम जीवन बदल सकते हैं। पूरा गवर्नेंस बदल सकते हैं। पूरी व्‍यवस्‍था बदल सकते हैं। पूरी व्‍यवस्‍था बदल सकते हैं। हमारी गति बदल सकते हैं। इतना बड़ा contribution स्‍पेस टेक्‍नोलोजी के द्वारा हो रहा है। space science के द्वारा हो रहा है और इसलिए मैं मानता हूं कि हमारे प्रयास, हमारे देश की क्‍वालिटी आफ गवर्नेंस, क्‍वालिटी ऑफ लाइफ, स्‍पीड ऑफ अचीवमेंट्स इन सबमें एक बहुत बड़ा बदलाव लाने का सामर्थ्‍य रखते हैं।

Delivering the fruits of this farthest frontier to the remotest corners of the country. Deepening our governance, strengthening our economy, and improving our lives.

We also have a great legacy and responsibility to live up to. Our ancestors had helped the world understand the mysteries of the heavens.

Grasp the idea of Shunya or nothingness.

Map spatial knowledge; such as the rotation of the Earth, motion of planets and occurrence of eclipses.

सदियों पहले आर्यभट्ट जैसे अनेक महापुरूषों ने हमें शास्‍त्र का ज्ञान दिया। हमें शून्‍य दिया। सारे जगत को आज, यही तो शून्‍य है, जो गति देने का कारण बन गया है। विज्ञान की खोज का अवसर, आधार बन गया है। यानी कोई ऐसा विषय नहीं, जिसे हमारे पूर्वजों ने रास्ता बनाकर न रखा हो।

एक प्रकार से ये प्रयास हमारे उन महान ऋषियों को, जो एक वैज्ञानिक थे, उनको एक बहुत बड़ी, उनके सम्मान में दी गई ये भेंट-सौगात है। और ये काम हजारों साल के बाद इस पीढ़ी ने दी है। इसलिए इस परंपरा को निभाने के लिए हम स्वंय अपने आप को गौरवान्वित महसूस करते हैं। ये महान काम लैब में बैठे हुए दिन-रात अपने सुख छोड़कर के, कुछ कर दिखाने की तमन्ना वाले वैज्ञानिकों के द्वारा होता है।

Modern India must continue playing this leading role of ‘Jagad-guru Bharat’.

स्वामी विवेकानंद ने कहा था – मैं देख रहां हूं, मेरी भारत माता फिर एक बार विश्व-गुरू का स्थान प्राप्त करेगी। ये कैसे करेगी, आप ही के लोगों के पुरुषार्थ से तो यह होने वाला है। हमारे देश की युवा पीढ़ी के पुरुषार्थ से होने वाला है। चाहे खेत में काम करने वाला किसान हो, चाहे मजदूरी करने वाला गरीब व्यक्ति हो या वैज्ञानिक इतना लैब में बैठकर के तपस्या करने वाला ऋषितुल्य जीवन हो, यही तो है जो भारत माता को जगत गुरू के स्थान पर विराजमान करेगी।

My dear friends!

Let me conclude by saying that in contrast with the linear nature of Western philosophy; there is no absolute ‘beginning’ or ‘end’ in our Eastern understanding of the cosmos.

There is only a continuous, unending cycle of dispassionate, detached perseverance.

Atal ji’s vision had inspired us to reach for the moon.

The successful Chandrayan mission, in turn led to the Mars Orbiter Mission.

This too, must become but a base for challenging the next frontier - of an inter-planetary mission.

Let today’s success, only drive us with even greater vigour and conviction. Let’s set ourselves even more challenging goals. And strive even harder to achieve them.

Let us push our boundaries. And then, push some more!

यही मिजाज, इसी उमंग के साथ हम आगे बढ़ें। गुरूदेव रविंद्रनाथ टैगोर ने जो कहा था-

“Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action ... Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

मैं फिर एक बार रविंद्र टैगोर की इस वाणी को श्रद्धा करते हुए, भारत जगेगा, भारत जगाएगा और हम सब इस जागरुक भारत को अपनी आंखों से देख पाएंगे। इसी विश्वास के साथ आप सब वैज्ञानिकों को आपके पुरुषार्थ और परिश्रम के लिए, आपकी प्रतिबद्धता के लिए, बहुत-बहुत शुभकामनाएं देता हूं। मेरे प्यारे देशवासियों, हम सब गर्व करें, हमारे इन वैज्ञानिकों की सिद्धी के लिए, हमारी क्रिकेट टीम अगर एक टूर्नामेंट जीत कर आती है, पूरा देश नाच उठता है।

ये वैज्ञानिकों की सिद्धि उससे भी हजारों गुणा बहुत बड़ी है। सालों की तपस्या के बाद पाई हुई सिद्धि है। सवा सौ करोड़ देशवासियों के आशीर्वाद से जुड़ी हुई, ये सिद्धि है। आइए, मेरे देशवासी, कल से नवरात्री का प्रारंभ हो रहा है, शुभ शुरूआत हो रही है। मंगल, मंगल, मंगल होना तय है और जब मंगल, मंगल, मंगल होना तय है, तो इस मंगल की यात्रा हमें और मंगल करने की प्रेरणा देती रहेगी। आज पूरा हिंदुस्तान उन वैज्ञानिकों के सम्मान में आनंद उत्सव मनाएं। हर स्कूल, कॉलेज के अंदर पांच मिनट भी इकट्ठे होकर, तालियों के नाद के साथ, हमारे इन वैज्ञानिकों को याद करें, उनका गौरव करें। सवा सौ करोड़ देशवासी इस सिद्धि को अपनी बनाएं, आनंद उत्सव मनाएं। मंगलमय वातावरण बनाएं। यही एक अपेक्षा के साथ फिर एक बार आप सबको बहुत-बहुत शुभकामना। बहुत-बहुत बधाई। धन्यवाद

How are you all, doing well? Gujarat’s popular Chief Minister Bhupendra Bhai Patel, my colleague in the Union Cabinet Ashwini Vaishnaw, the energetic Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghvi, ministers of the Gujarat government, MPs and MLAs, CG Power Chairman Vellayan Subbaiah ji, Renesas Electronics President Malini ji, CG Semi Chairman Girish ji, other industry leaders present here, ladies and gentlemen!

Today’s program is proof that whatever India resolves to do, India achieves. Five years ago, India pledged to make the nation a semiconductor hub. We moved forward with the mantra of Design in India, Make in India. And today, commercial production of chip packaging has begun at the country’s third semiconductor plant.

Friends,

In 2024, I had the opportunity to lay the foundation stone of this plant. By August 2025, chip testing work had begun here, and today, this plant has been inaugurated. The journey from foundation to production is undoubtedly the result of the hard work of many colleagues, and the leadership of people like Subbaiah ji. Before coming on stage, I had the chance to interact with many associated with this project. It felt as though a mini India resides in this campus - people of every language, attire, and cuisine. During my exhibition visit, I also spoke with many young boys and girls. And one thing I must proudly mention is their confidence level. The conviction with which they spoke, their faith in technology - I was truly impressed.

Friends,

This CG Semi plant is also a symbol of the joint efforts of our industry partners from India, Japan, and Thailand. It is not just a business venture, but a model of technology, trust, and partnership that will accelerate India’s semiconductor journey. In just over two years, you have built this facility from scratch to scale. Today, we are beginning its commercial production. I am told that 200 million chips will be produced here annually. Not 20 lakh, but 20 crore. And I am told you will not stop here. You have set a target of 5 billion chips annually - more than 15 million chips every single day. I am confident you will achieve this soon. This is further proof that the Semicon India Program is gaining momentum - step by step, brick by brick, and now chip by chip. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire CG Semi team, the state government, and the nation.

Friends,

I feel a special joy today. You may wonder why. The reason is that twenty years ago - perhaps even earlier - I had prepared plans to set up a semiconductor plant in Gujarat. Near Gandhinagar and Prantij, we had earmarked 350–400 acres of land. We even held talks with some companies. At that time, the Government of India was making big statements, and some companies came forward for discussions. But somehow, the government then seemed shackled, and the matter did not move forward. Today, when I see this happening, I feel the deepest happiness within me. It is the fulfillment of a dream I had 20–22 years ago. Back then, no one even discussed these subjects in the country. When I spoke about them, the media mocked me. It did not happen then, but today, as it is happening, I feel immense satisfaction. Just a few weeks ago, there was news that surprised me - and I was surprised the media did not give it the attention it deserved. The C295 aircraft, made in Vadodara, was built in India and took flight. There was a time when even the arrival of a bicycle factory was celebrated with sweets. Today, India is building airplanes.

Friends,

All of you here are knowledgeable, and I see many young colleagues present. If we look at the industrial history of the world, one thing is clear: no global industrial power was built by a single factory. The foundation of industrial power lies in clusters. America’s Silicon Valley, Taiwan’s Hsinchu Science Park, Japan’s Silicon Island, Tsukuba Science City - all demonstrate the importance of clusters. Today, Sanand too is moving in that direction.

Friends,

Within just a few months, Micron, Kaynes, and CG Semi have started production here. A semiconductor cluster is being born in India. Today, chip packaging is happening here. Tomorrow, specialized companies will come, chemicals will be produced, new testing labs will be built, industries servicing machines will emerge, design centers will open, and startups will be born. This is the strength of clusters. One industry gives birth to hundreds. Hundreds of industries create millions of jobs. And millions of jobs transform the economy of an entire region. And this is not happening only in Sanand - semiconductor clusters are emerging in many states across India.

Friends,

Today, the rise of the semiconductor sector in India has everyone excited. It is being discussed across the country and the world. Many people see it in isolation, but that is not the case. The expansion of semiconductors in India is not sudden - it is the next step in the electronics revolution that has unfolded here over the past decade.

Friends,

We began with mobile phone manufacturing. There was a time when India imported most of its smartphones, even more than its own domestic needs. Today, mobile phone production in India has increased 33 times compared to earlier. Before 2014, India was importing phones. After you sent me from Gujarat to Delhi, India began exporting them. Today, India is the world’s second-largest mobile manufacturer and the second-largest mobile exporter.

Friends,

In recent years, we have strengthened the entire electronics manufacturing ecosystem. India’s total electronics production has increased nearly sevenfold compared to 2014. Electronics exports have grown nearly elevenfold.

Friends,

Our effort is not limited to self-reliance in final products. We are also moving towards self-reliance in components. That is why India’s next step is clear. We will not only make mobiles, not only electronics, but also the chips that power the entire electronics world. This is our strategy - first products, then components, and now semiconductors. The entire electronics value chain will be in India. This is the roadmap for a developed India. This is the next phase of Make in India.

Friends,

The next step in the semiconductor ecosystem is self-reliance in critical minerals and high-tech materials. Just now, Subbaiah ji spoke in Gujarati and shared a proverb: Missing the mark is forgivable, but aiming low is not. That is my nature too - I do not set small targets, I do not think small. If I build a statue, I make it the largest in the world. As Subbaiah ji said, work speaks louder than words. The progress we see today, the achievements we celebrate, must be matched by strengthening the supply chain. That too is our goal. Today, India is making broad efforts in this direction. Our aim is to develop the entire ecosystem in India - from chip design to fabrication to packaging. India will not only make chips, but India’s youth will drive the next technological revolution - in AI, robotics, and next-gen tech - powered by Made in India chips. I have unwavering faith in the youth of India, in their talent and their strength. My complete trust lies in the power of my nation’s young people.

Friends,

On this occasion, I want to say something directly to the youth of our nation. Whenever a new industrial revolution comes to the world, the greatest opportunities are created for young people. When the IT revolution came, millions of Indian youth got the chance to show their talent. Then came the era of smartphones and electronics manufacturing, which also created millions of new opportunities. Now this era of the semiconductor revolution and AI revolution is bringing countless opportunities. From research and design to startup innovation and supply chain management, opportunities are everywhere.

Friends,

What is needed are new skills and new ideas. What matters now is whether you have a new idea, whether you have the passion to learn and to do something new. Today I met daughters from Jharkhand, Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Chhattisgarh - and our conversation began with “Jai Johar.” Because I have lived in that region, I know it well. The speed with which these daughters have learned, and the way they were conducting things there, fills me with pride in the youth power of my country.

Friends,

In the coming times, AI will open up an entire world of new skills and new expertise before you. That is why India’s youth must not miss this opportunity. And I say to the young people - the idea is yours, the support is mine.

Friends,

This facility, this project, is also proof of how India’s youth are connecting with new possibilities. The sisters and daughters working here - as I said, from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, the entire tribal belt - showed me the factory. With great enthusiasm, they explained every detail. Ordinary families, ordinary schools, ITI education. In our country, when someone joins ITI, parents often don’t even tell others, they feel embarrassed. But times have changed - this is the era of ITI graduates. Their education may be from ITI, but their dreams are extraordinary. Many of these daughters’ families had never even made a passport, never seen one. Some had never even been to Delhi or Mumbai, let alone abroad. Yet these same daughters went to Malaysia for training, learned the world’s most advanced semiconductor technology, and today they are part of the Made in India chip manufacturing process. I remember when Subbaiah ji once showed me a video in Delhi - a three-minute film about these daughters’ lives. How they lived in forests, studied sitting on cots, and then stood at the airport for check-in, clearing immigration to fly to Malaysia. I immediately told him that whenever I came to Gujarat, I would invite these daughters to the Governor’s House and talk to them. I could not do it then, but today I got that opportunity. Thank you, Subbaiah ji. I congratulate all these daughters and their families.

Friends,

Today’s occasion is also proof of how impatient we are to make India developed. At the beginning of this year, I had said that by 2026, four semiconductor facilities would start. And today my minister has said - not four, but five. And I am happy that in just six months, production has already begun in three projects. This shows that today’s India not only sets big goals but also achieves them on time. This is the confidence India gives to the whole world, to every investor. Our policies are stable, our decisions are clear, and our execution is fast. I assure the management of CG Semi and other investors - the path of reforms that India has chosen, the Reform Express we have boarded, will only accelerate further. Today’s India is fully committed to ease of doing business. With this commitment, 1.4 billion Indians will make India developed by 2047. And today’s 18–20-year-olds - I work hard so that when you are 40–45, when your children are growing up, you will raise them in a developed India. That is why I dedicate my life - for the future of your children.

Friends,

We have set out on the path of development. We are reaching new heights of progress. And in this journey, the semiconductor sector is becoming a great strength, creating new confidence. I extend my best wishes to all of you. Move forward with high goals. If we miss the mark, we will see, but we must march ahead. My heartfelt congratulations and thanks to all of you.
