Students from various government schools participated in interactive sessions on Chandrayaan-2 and made colourful placards expressing solidarity with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists, across the city on Monday.

“Sampark toota hai, sankalp nahi [contact is lost, resolve is not]” was the message that school students had for scientists associated with the mission. Contact with Chandrayaan-2’s lander Vikram, which encases the rover, Pragyan, was lost in the early hours of September 7 when it was just 2.1 km above the lunar surface and seconds before touchdown.

“Our Delhi govt school students have a message for @isro scientists - India is proud of you. The story of ISRO’s valiant effort to reach the moon has inspired an entire generation of children [sic],” tweeted Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Many government schools held interactive sessions with the students in the morning assemblies to detail them about Chandrayaan-2.
