When did the celebration of National Technology Day start?
The celebration of National Technology Day was started in 1999 by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He did this day to honor Indian scientists, technologists and engineers.
He worked tirelessly for the scientific and technological advancement of the country, which resulted in the successful completion of the Pokhran tests in May 1998. Since then National Technology Day is celebrated every year with a new theme. This year the theme of National Technology Day is 'School to Startups - Igniting Young Minds to Innovate'.
