Pokhran Tests, 25 Years Completed

May 11 marks 25 years of the series of nuclear tests that were conducted in Pokhran in 1998. The tests included both underground and aboveground detonations, marking a significant milestone in India’s nuclear program.
A team of scientists under PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee conducted five nuclear tests on May 11 and 13 in 1998. India’s second round of nuclear tests was codenamed “Operation Shakti”.
The tests were hailed as a triumph of Indian science and technology, but also sparked widespread controversy and condemnation from the global community, leading to a period of diplomatic isolation and economic sanctions for India.
