He also remembered the contributions of India's first Deputy Prime Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, on his birth anniversary.

Describing Patel as a visionary leader who played a crucial role in the freedom movement and the country's integration, Revanth Reddy said his efforts to bring hundreds of princely states together laid the foundation for a united India. Recalling Patel's legacy on the occasion of National Unity Day, the Chief Minister urged people to renew their commitment to safeguarding the country's unity, integrity and sovereignty.

Revanth Reddy also congratulated the scientists, engineers and staff of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on the successful launch of the NVS-03 navigation satellite aboard the GSLV-F18 rocket.

He described the successful placement of the satellite into its designated geostationary orbit as a significant achievement that would strengthen India's navigation capabilities. The satellite is expected to support several critical sectors, including transportation, aviation, maritime navigation, surveillance and emergency services.

Terming the achievement a matter of national pride, the Chief Minister expressed confidence that ISRO would continue to make significant contributions to India's space programme and achieve greater milestones in the future.
