What is intriguing about all this is that India, which is still a developing country, has managed to push through all barriers and has created a history through its achievements. The Mars Orbiter Mission madeIndia the only nation in the world to reach Mars in its first attempt. Mangalyaan-1, the indigenously built space probe markedIndia'sfirst venture into the interplanetary space. It also madeIndiafirst in Asia, and fourth in the world to reach the surface of Mars.

Twice invaded by foreigners and drained off its wealth, India still has managed to prove their mettle in almost every field. India is one of four largest military powers in the world today, and has got one of most sophisticated missile programs in the world.India has also given the greatest CEO's to the world's biggest multinational companies.

India didn't lack behind in technology. It has given birth to greatest scientists and mathematicians too. India is the only Nation that gave its citizens the right to vote soon after independence. India's biggest achievement is APJ Abdul kalam who believed in the technology process of Nation. He is known as the 'Missile Man Of India'. Aryabhatta gave the world zero and decimal without which the present calculations would have been impossible.
