India's 'Mission Divyastra' marked a milestone as Agni-5 missile, equipped with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology, was successfully tested. Led by Sheena Rani, a veteran scientist at DRDO, the test underscores her 25-year contribution to India's defence. Rani, following the legacy of 'Agni Putri' Tessy Thomas, has been pivotal in Agni series development since 1999. Trained in electronics and communications, she transitioned to DRDO post-Pokhran Nuclear tests. The test affirms India's missile prowess and Rani's role in safeguarding the nation.
