PMINDIA
Prime Minister – Very good, yes you were sleeping just now.
Participant – No, looking at you it feels like we have met the biggest hero.
Participant – It was my biggest dream to come here and see all the forces, specially I have come to see you.
Prime Minister – Yes, yes.
Participant – So I still can’t believe that I am talking to you face to face.
Prime Minister – This is the strength of Indian democracy.
Participant – thank you so much Sir.
Prime Minister – By introducing yourself to a friend from another state, you tried to get to know that state and even learnt to speak a couple of sentences in the language. Who all are such people over here ?
Participant – Sir, we are sitting here from West Bengal, I tried to know from them and as we were eating rice, there was a sentence related to rice, he said ekto ekto bhaat khave.
Prime Minister: One should eat rice. He said he should eat, he said he should eat?
Participant – Khabo.
Prime Minister – Eat.
Participant – Sir Jol Khabo, what else was there?. To Ami Kemo Nacho Ami Bhalo Achi (Second Language)
Participant – I am from Munger, I salute you Sir on behalf of all the people of Munger.
Prime Minister – My salutations to the land of Munger. The land of Munger is known throughout the world for yoga.
Participant – Yes sir, yes sir.
Prime Minister – So you have become everyone’s yoga guru here.
Participant – That means I couldn’t become everyone’s partner Sir, but those who were in our circle, I could become a part of some teams.
Prime Minister – Now the whole world is connecting with Yoga.
Participant- Sir Sir.
Prime Minister – Yes.
Participant – And we have also written two lines for you yesterday at the National Stadium Camp, that Jai Ho, Jai Ho to Mother India, Jai Ho to the people of India, Jai Ho to the fluttering new flag, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, let there be no fear of terror, let the enemies be put to death, let there be love and humility in everyone’s heart, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho.
Prime Minister – Jai Ho.
Participant- Jai Ho, thank you very much.
Participant – The journeys that you have started like Clean India Mission and Healthy India Mission have definitely helped in the progress of the country. Along with that, the youth are so attracted to you and like a magnet everyone wants to meet you. It is a matter of great pride for all of us that our Prime Minister is a personality like you.
Prime Minister – If we have to implement any one principle to build a clean India, which one is it?
Participant – We want to inspire others too, like I went to the temple during Navratri.
Prime Minister – See, you have said it right, to make India clean, if 140 crore people decide that they will not create dirt, then who will create dirt, then it will become clean.
Participant – Jai Hind Sir, Sir I am Sushmita Rohidash from Odisha.
Prime Minister- Jag Jagannath.
Participant – Jag Jagannatha Sir. You are my inspiration, so I wanted to ask you something about what I should do to be successful in life and what is the actual definition of success?
Prime Minister – Failure should never be accepted. Those who accept failure and take refuge in failure never achieve success, but those who learn from failure reach the top, and therefore one should never be afraid of failure, one should have the passion to learn from failure and the one who learns from failure also reaches the top.
Participant: Sir, my question to you is that I have heard that you get only three to four hours of rest , so where do you get motivation and strength at this age?
Prime Minister – Now this is a difficult question. When I meet youngsters like you, I get energy. When I see all of you, I get inspired. When I remember the farmers of the country, I think about how many hours they work. When I remember the soldiers of the country, I think about how many hours they stand at the border. That means everyone works and works very hard. If we look at them a little, try to live their life, try to know them, then we also feel that we do not have the right to sleep, we do not have the right to rest. He works so hard for his duties, so 140 crore countrymen have given me a duty too. Well, after going back home, how many of them have decided to wake up at 4 in the morning? Do you have to wake up at 4 in the morning or do you have to?
Participant: I have to get up sir.
Prime Minister – No no, right now someone must be whistling, then he must be thinking that he should go and spare 5 minutes. But see, the habit of waking up early is very useful in life and I can say that I was also an NCC cadet like you, so this thing has been very useful to me till now because when we used to go to camp, we had to wake up very early, so discipline also came, but my habit of waking up very early is still a great asset to me. I finish a lot of my work before the world wakes up. If you too maintain the habit of waking up early, it will be very useful to you friends.
Participant – I would like to say just one thing, if there is anyone who can create Swarajya like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then it is Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister – We have to learn from everyone. We have to learn from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as well, can you tell us what you have learnt here?
Participant – Sir, here making friendship with the different directorates, talking to them, mingling with them, it all means when the whole of India comes together.
Prime Minister – Like when you would have been at home, you would have never touched a vegetable, you would have quarreled with your mother, and here you must have learnt to eat vegetables, it must be like this, brother, such a new thing has come into your life.
Participant: I have learned to make every kind of adjustment.
Participant – Sir, I basically belong to a Kashmiri Pandit family. I am in the ninth grade and I have never done any household chores because whenever I am at home, I have to go to school. Then after coming back, I study, go for tuitions, etc. But the biggest thing I have learnt after coming here is to be self-independent. I have learnt all the work here and as soon as I go home, I will help my mother along with studies.
Prime Minister- Look, this video of yours is going to reach your mother, you will be caught.
Participant – The first thing I have learnt after coming here is that family is not always the people who live with us at home, the people who are our friends, the seniors here, they all also form a very big family and this is one thing that I will always remember and I have learnt after coming here.
Prime Minister- One India, Great India.
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister – Well, in these 30 days, some people would have got a chance to take part in the parade, some people would not have got it, right? So what do you think, you must feel something?
Participant – Sir, getting selected or not is a different thing but trying for that thing is a very big thing Sir.
Prime Minister- This is the biggest thing, whether we get selected or not but I have done my best. So is it NCC?
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister – So, do you people enjoy wearing uniforms or do you enjoy cultural programmes?
Participants- Both.
Prime Minister – So you have been here for a month, so you must be doing video conferencing at home?
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister – Must be doing video conferencing with friends?
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister – Do you know why they are able to do this? Technology, second is Digital India, third is Developed India. Then, look, there are very few countries in the world where data is so cheap and hence even the poorest of the poor can easily talk to their family members through video conference. How many of you use UPI for digital payment? Wow, the new generation does not even keep money in their pockets! NCC has served you a lot in your life, you have got a very good thing, what is it that you did not have earlier?
Participant- Jai Hind Sir, Punctuality and Time Management and third is Leadership.
Prime Minister- Okay, someone else.
Participant: Sir, the best thing that NCC has taught me is public service, like blood donation camps, keeping your surroundings clean.
Prime Minister- Look, My Bharat Mera Yuva Bharat, My Bharat is a platform run by the Government of India. So far, more than three crore young men and women of the country have registered on it and now the people of My Bharat have done a great job, debated on developed India across the country, conducted quiz competitions, essay writing, oratory competitions and about 30 lakh people from across the country joined. What will be the first thing you will do?
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister – My Bharat will get it registered.
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister – So whatever you have learnt in NCC, NCC will remain with you for a few years, but My Bharat can remain with you for life.
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister- So will you do something about it?
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister – India has set a target for the next 25 years. Do you know what that target is? Please raise your hand and say it loudly.
Participant – Developed India.
Prime Minister: And what year did you mention?
Participants – 2047!
Prime Minister – Well why has this year 2047 been decided?
Participants – 100 years will be completed.
Prime Minister- To whom?
Participant- To freedom.
Prime Minister- Modi ji’s, So India’s independence
Participants – 100 years will be completed.
PM: And till then what is our target?
Participant – Developed India.
Prime Minister – This country should develop, who will make it develop?
Participants- We will make it.
Prime Minister – It’s not that the government will have to do this.
Participant – No sir.
Prime Minister – When 140 crore citizens decide this and do something positive for it, then this task is not difficult. See, if we follow our duties, then we can become a great force in making India developed. Who are those who love their mother a lot? Good with all! There are so many who love Mother Earth a lot, this is also a lot. Well, I had told you about a program which is such a program in which respect is expressed towards one’s mother as well as towards Mother Earth – Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam. And my expectation is that you plant a tree with your mother and always remember that this is a tree in the name of my mother and I will never let it dry and the first one to benefit from this is Mother Earth.
Participant – My name is Batamipi District Diwangvalley Anini, I am Idu Mishmi, and I come from Arunachal Pradesh. Ever since Prime Minister Modi ji formed the government, it is progressing rapidly and everyone in every corner of the country knows and sees it.
Prime Minister – Arunachal has a specialty, we all know that the place where the first ray of sun falls in India is our Arunachal. But Arunachal has a specialty, like when we meet somewhere, we say Ram Ram or Namaste, Arunachal has a nature that it says Jai Hind, I request you from today, if you want to see diversity, art, natural beauty, love of the people there, take out some time and visit Arunachal, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Assam, this entire area of our Ashta Lakshmi, Meghalaya, it is so beautiful that you cannot see it all in two or three months, there are so many things to see.
Prime Minister – What kind of work would your unit have done in the NSS team in which you work in your area , about which everyone says that these children do very well, these youngsters are going to do something for the country, would you share any such experience?
Participant: Sir, I want to say that !
Prime Minister- Where are you from?
Participant – Sir my name is Ajay Modi, I am from Jharkhand and Sir I want to say that our unit
Prime Minister – Are you Modi, Moti?
Participant- Modi Sir.
PM- Okay.
Participant- I am Modi.
Prime Minister- That is why you recognized me.
Participant – Yes sir.
Prime Minister- Tell me.
Participant – Sir, the best work done by my unit, as you said, which was appreciated was that Sir, there is a Mahiri community in our Dumka, which makes bamboo items very well, but they are sold only seasonally. So Sir, we found some people who do this kind of work and connected them to factories that make incense sticks.
Prime Minister – Where did this word Agarbatti come from? It is very interesting, you people must look into it. What is the name of the capital of Tripura?
Participant – Agartala Sir.
Prime Minister – What is there in it, and what are we talking about?
Participants – Incense sticks.
Prime Minister – So there are forests of Agarbatti there and its oil smells so good and is very expensive, probably very few oils in the world are so expensive, its smell is so good and from that the tradition of making Agarbatti which smells good was formed. The government has a Gem portal, in your area also if someone registers his product on the Gem portal, its price etc. has to be written, it is possible that the government may need those things, then they will give you the order, so its work is done very fast, so sometimes you people, you educated youth, should introduce such people and get it done. My dream is to make three crore Lakhpati Didis in the country who run women self-help groups in villages. I have reached one crore and 30 lakh.
Participant – I have my mother who has learned sewing and is still doing it and she is so capable that now those Chaniyas, you must know Sir Chaniyas are so popular during Navratri, she has made those Chaniyas and they go abroad as well.
Prime Minister- Very good.
Participant – So like this Sir, you have set an example and in the future, the Lakhpati Didi program can play a very important role in developed India Sir.
Prime Minister – So, you are seen with a group of people from abroad, so how many people have made strong friendships with their friends from abroad? Well, what are their questions when they meet you, what do they want to know about India, what do they ask?
Participant- Sir they will ask about Indian culture then tradition and religion and about politics.
Prime Minister- Hmm politics also, oh.
Participant- नमस्ते सर I am Rojina Ban from Nepal. We were really very excited to visit India and also to see you. I would also like to take a moment to thank you and for your hospitality, unconditional hospitality, Thank you so much for that.
Participant- On the eve of our departure the High Commission of India to Mauritius met us. So he told us go to India, this is your second house. He’s right.
Prime Minister- Wow.
Participant- We feel at home and we are grateful for this. Long live the cooperation and the brotherly relationship between Mauritius and India.
Prime Minister – This is your second house as well as this is the first house of your all forefathers.
Participant – Yes, Indeed!.
