Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi was conferred with the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, France's highest award, on 13 July 2023, by H.E. Mr. Emmanuel Macron, President of the Republic of France.
Prime Minister thanked President Macron for this singular honour on behalf of the people of India.
The award ceremony took place at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today, highlighting the qualities of a truly wise person.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
"यस्य कृत्यं न जानन्ति मन्त्रं वा मन्त्रितं परे।
कृतमेवास्य जानन्ति स वै पण्डित उच्यते॥"
A truly wise person is one whose plans and actions remain hidden from others until they are completed. Such a disciplined, discerning and thoughtful person is rightly regarded as truly wise.
यस्य कृत्यं न जानन्ति मन्त्रं वा मन्त्रितं परे।
