Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, the first Indian to reach the International Space Station (ISS) during the Axiom-4 mission, is now featured in NCERT’s Class 5 Environmental Studies book Our Wondrous World. His reflection—“The Earth looks completely one; no border is visible from outside. It seems that no border exists… We all are part of humanity…”—appears in the chapter “Earth, Our Shared Home” . The inclusion aims to inspire young minds with a sense of global unity. Shukla completed an 18‑day ISS mission on July 15, marking India’s second human spaceflight after Rakesh Sharma and aligning with NEP 2020’s integrated learning approach. (PC: Axiom Space)
