Chandrayaan-3's gentle landing on the south pole of the moon marked a historic achievement for India in the accomplishment of its space mission. India has made history by achieving a triumphant victory in space exploration by being the first nation to set foot on the moon's south pole. Without the scientific genius of ISRO, this would not be feasible. Sohan Yadav is one such outstanding scientist who has significantly contributed to the overall effort.

Who is Sohan Yadav?

Sohan Yadav, a native of Kunti in Jharkhand, is the son of a truck driver and a housewife. Sohan makes a big contribution to the overall Chandrayaan-3 mission, which is vital to ISRO. The third of four siblings, Sohan, grew up in hardship and poverty, yet he was driven by enthusiasm. Sohan attended the village's Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir until class fifth after seeing his father's laborious job.

He then graduated from Navodaya Vidyalaya with a class X diploma. Then, in DAV of Bariatu, passed the 12th grade. Being diligent, Sohan's aspirations were such that, in his determination to see them through, he never allowed his financial situation to stand in his way.

Following earning his BTech degree from Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, he was accepted into ISRO. Sohan earned his spot on the Chandrayaan-2 crew after joining ISRO at the age of 21 and saw the hard work and devotion. He was eventually re-included in Chandrayaan-3 following the failure of this mission.

Shivshankar, Sohan's father, was a truck driver who made Rs 3,000 a month and spent Rs 2,500 on his son's schooling. Sohan's wealth was altered by his diligence. Sohan worked hard, which helped his family's financial situation and gave the nation cause for celebration. 

India has made history by becoming the fourth nation to land safely on the moon. The Moon's South Pole has been successfully reached by Chandrayaan's lander.
