Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented President Donald J. Trump a folio containing an original commemorative postal stamp that had been issued by India 52 years ago in 1965 to mark the death centenary of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States of America. Apart from honouring the memory of a great American President, the issue of this stamp also symbolized the closeness of the ideals for which Lincoln stood and those which drove Mahatma Gandhi. Both leaders believed in the basic goodness of the common man, and in emancipation of the downtrodden. And both leaders led from the front, with indomitable courage against the forces of reaction and outmoded beliefs. As it happened, both of them laid down their lives for the cause dearest to their hearts.  

 

 The Prime Minister also presented to the President a wooden chest with intricate inlay pattern that is a specialty of Hoshiarpur in Punjab. For the First Lady, the Prime Minister presented a hamper containing a traditional, handcrafted Himachali silver bracelet, tea and honey from Kangra valley, and hand-woven shawls from Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh.

A bunch of moments from PM Modi’s Assam visit that stood out
April 01, 2026

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited a tea garden in Assam’s Dibrugarh and interacted with the women working there. Walking through the plantation, he briefly joined them in plucking tea leaves and observed their work up close.

The PM’s interaction with the plantation workers was a memorable one. Calling tea the soul of Assam, the Prime Minister acknowledged the contribution of tea garden workers in shaping the state’s identity and sustaining a sector that reaches markets across the world.

The women working in the tea plantation shared various aspects of their culture. The PM praised the tea garden communities for their hard work and perseverance, noting that it has strengthened Assam’s pride.

In a special gesture, the women also sang a traditional song paying homage to Jagat Janani Maa. It reflected how tradition remains closely linked with everyday life in the tea gardens, offering a glimpse into the lives and contributions of those who form the backbone of Assam’s tea industry.
