Similar steps were taken in India also

What was the Manhattan Project?
The ‘Manhattan Project’, led by the US with the cooperation of Britain and Canada, was a program launched during World War II to create the first atomic bomb. Thousands of scientists, including Robert Oppenheimer, were part of the ‘Manhattan Project’. In addition to Oppenheimer, the project brought together some of the world’s best scientists, including Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, and Niels Bohr. It was the ‘Manhattan Project’ that created two atomic bombs, which were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, killing thousands of people.
Major General Leslie Groves of the US Army Corps of Engineers led the project from 1942 to 1946. Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Lab which designed the bomb. The project was designed in the Manhattan district of New York and hence was given this name. It is said that this project will provide employment to about 130,000 people at a time. At that time its value was approximately $2 billion.
