February 13, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising the importance of remaining active for progression, like the ever-dynamic sun.

"चरन् वै मधु विन्दति चरन् स्वादुमुम्बरम्

सूर्यस्य पश्य श्रेमाणं यो न तन्द्रयते चरंश्चरैवेति॥"

The Subhashitam conveys, "It is the one who keeps progressing who gains the best rewards in the world, just like the ever-dynamic sun earns glory. Hence, one should always be active."

Shri Modi stated that, the PM Surya Ghar-Free Electricity Scheme, which began today, is also illuminated by Lord Sun who infuses energy and enthusiasm into the lives of all of us.

The Prime Minister posted on X:

"भगवान सूर्य हम सबके जीवन में ऊर्जा और उत्साह का संचार करते हैं। आज के दिन शुरू हुई पीएम सूर्य घर: मुफ्त बिजली योजना भी उन्हीं से रोशन है। यह देशवासियों को स्वच्छ ऊर्जा अपनाने के लिए निरंतर प्रेरित कर रही है।

चरन् वै मधु विन्दति चरन् स्वादुमुम्बरम्

सूर्यस्य पश्य श्रेमाणं यो न तन्द्रयते चरंश्चरैवेति॥"
