Following the successful test-firing of the Agni V missile, the outgoing Director General of the Defence Research and Development Organisation Avinash Chander said, "This was a great event and I could not have asked for a better farewell gift from my team which has worked hard to make India a missile superpower."
"I am going, leaving behind a dynamic young team that can lead India to greater heights. India will now be autonomous in missile capability," said Dr Chander.
Dr Chander's contract ends on today - January 31, 2015. He had joined the organisation in 1972.
