He then took the podium to officially announce the triumph of Chandrayaan-3 to the Prime Minister of India, requesting him to address the nation. "No country has previously reached this destination, the South Pole of the moon. With the relentless dedication of our scientists, we have accomplished this feat," he remarked. The Prime Minister added that while challenges were surmounted on Earth, the mission was triumphantly achieved on the moon.

The Prime Minister extended his congratulations to all the scientists of India.
"We have become the first country to approach the South Pole of the Moon," declared P Veeramuthuvel, Project Director of the Chandrayaan-3 Mission.
The success of Chandrayaan 3 serves as a notable testament to our ability to learn from mistakes and evolve.
The Director of U R Rao Satellite Centre, a distinguished scientist at ISRO, expressed his gratitude to his fellow scientists in his address to the ISRO staff. He acknowledged, "For the past 4 years, our scientists have been immersed in Chandrayaan—eating, sleeping, and breathing it every day." He went on to highlight that ISRO has set its standards remarkably high, and sustaining this level of achievement will require consistent hard work. He emphasized that this accomplishment will serve as inspiration for ISRO to embark on and achieve numerous more missions.
