CNBC-TV18 is also set for widespread coverage of this historic event with a live telecast on its social media channels and official website at https://www.cnbctv18.com/tags/chandrayaan-3.html.

In its official notification, ISRO has extended an invitation to schools and educational institutions across the nation to actively participate in the unfolding of this historic event. Institutions are encouraged to engage students and faculty in publicising the event and organising live streaming of the soft landing within their premises.

In a statement, the space agency emphasised that the soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a remarkable achievement that ignites curiosity and fosters a passion for exploration among the youth. This achievement serves as a source of pride and unity, spotlighting India's scientific and technological prowess, and nurturing an environment of scientific inquiry and innovation.

Chandrayaan-3 was launched on July 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Progressing in phases, the lunar lander entered the Moon's orbit on August 5.

India's third lunar mission is aimed at landing at the unexplored south pole region of the lunar surface. Achieving this landmark will position India within a select group of nations. The mission also encompasses ambitious goals of studying the geology, mineralogy and potential water ice on the lunar surface, while also contributing to a deeper understanding of the lunar environment through an array of experiments.
