One of the main takeaways that the Indian Space Research Organisation’s scientists provided after the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft’s lander module safely hit the moon’s surface was that the failure of the Chandrayaan 2 mission in 2019 was really the stepping stone to Wednesday’s success.
There were multiple accounts provided by ISRO scientists of the amount of effort that was put into the Chandrayaan-3 mission to ensure that the mistakes in the Chandrayaan-2 mission are not repeated and to reduce the probability of failure to the minimum. Scientists recounted that there were moments of criticism and ridicule that had to be overcome for success.
“Chandrayaan-2 was the work of many years and Chandrayaan-3 of the last four years. The learning from Chandrayaan-2 of the unsuccessful attempt to soft-land has really helped us perfect the methodology and also have a large number of experiments and tests in the process of landing and it has paid dividends,” ISRO Chairman S Somnath said after the success.
Three of the key scientists associated with the Chandrayaan-3 mission were also a part of Chandrayaan-2—project director P Veeramuthuvel, associate project director K Kalpana and mission director M Srikanth. Top scientists like V Narayanan also contributed to the Chandrayaan 2 mission.
In its findings, Bengaluru-based Cadabams Hospital said it is a proven fact that music can address mental health issues. The hospital found that music therapy can be helpful in modulating moods and emotions.
The hospital has been actively involved in researching the efficacy of music therapy as a healing modality for mental health disorders for several years.
According to Neha Cadabam, executive director at the hospital, the research commenced with a pilot programme in 2019, and from the end of 2020, regular music and cinema therapy sessions have been implemented as a part of the hospital’s therapeutic approach.
“Music therapy is a specialised therapeutic approach that utilises the inherent qualities of music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals. It involves a trained and certified music therapist who uses music interventions to achieve specific therapeutic goals. These interventions can include playing instruments, singing, listening to music and songwriting,” she said.
