April 17, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that Nari Shakti is the identity of a strong India. He noted that the mothers, sisters and daughters of the country, through their unwavering determination, dedication and spirit of service, are enhancing the pride of India in every field.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit verse-

“देव्या यया ततमिदं जगदात्मशक्त्या निश्शेषदेवगणशक्तिसमूहमूर्त्या ।

तामम्बिकामखिलदेवमहर्षिपूज्यां भक्त्या नताः स्म विदधातु शुभानि सा नः ।।”

देव्या यया ततमिदं जगदात्मशक्त्या निश्शेषदेवगणशक्तिसमूहमूर्त्या ।

तामम्बिकामखिलदेवमहर्षिपूज्यां भक्त्या नताः स्म विदधातु शुभानि सा नः ।।”
