Nigar Shaji: Smiling woman who led Aditya-L1 mission
Saturday, 6 January 2024
The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) is leading a complex scientific mission to put India's first solar observatory, Aditya-L1, at the Langrang point. Isro's project director for this mission is Nigar Shaji, who has worked tirelessly with her team for eight years to ensure its success. Shaji, who joined Isro in 1987, has risen through the ranks and is now the programme director for all lower orbit and planetary missions. She has never faced gender discrimination in Isro and attributes her success to the support of her parents and seniors.
