We have achieved the near impossible: Modi

We have dared to reach out into the unknown and have achieved the near impossible, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday after India's Mars Orbiter Mission successfully entered the Mars orbit.

"History has been created today," said Modi here amidst applause.

Modi said: "We have dared to reach out into the unknown and have achieved the near impossible."

He congratulated Indians and ISRO scientists for the success, despite the constraint of resources.

We have gone beyond the boundaries of human enterprise, said the prime minister.
