In this special ISRO Day episode of The Happy Moments – पल पल की खुशियाँ, we celebrate a true giant of Indian space science — Dr. S. Somanath, former Chairman of ISRO.

From leading Chandrayaan-3 to shaping the upcoming Gaganyaan mission, Dr. Somanath has etched his name in the stars. But beyond the rockets and research lies a deeper story — that of resilience, humility, and inner strength.

A cancer survivor, a grounded leader, and a son of a humble carpenter, his journey from the fields of Kerala to the frontier of space exploration will inspire every dreamer.

"सितारों तक राह बनाता चला गया,

ज़मीन से जुड़ा, पर आसमान छूता गया।"

"He kept paving paths to the stars,

Rooted to the ground, yet reaching for Mars."
