The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today launched "Swavalamban Abhiyan" - a set of 11 new pro-poor initiatives of the Gujarat Government, at Mahatma Mandir, Gandhinagar. Addressing a large gathering on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that 17th September is observed as Vishwakarma Day across the country, and Vishwakarma is revered by all shram-yogis (people who live through hard work). Congratulating the state government, he said it is significant that the state government has chosen this day to launch "Swavalamban" initiatives.

The Prime Minister said three things are important for the shram-yogi: self reliance (swavalamban), self independence (swashray) and self-dignity (swabhimaan). He said no "shram yogi" likes to be dependent. Gujarat Government has launched these pro-poor initiatives for the benefit of shram yogis, especially women and youth, so that they are empowered to fight poverty, he added. This is in keeping with the spirit of "Shrameva Jayate," he said.

Prime Minister shares a Sanskrit Subhashitam honoring Sage Patanjali and the virtues of Yoga
June 04, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam paying homage to Sage Patanjali and highlighting the profound benefits of Yoga. Shri Modi observed that the regular practice of Yoga keeps the body healthy and the mind calm, noting that making it a part of one's daily routine makes life balanced and energetic.

The Prime Minister posted on X:

"योग का नियमित अभ्यास तन को स्वस्थ और मन को शांत रखता है। इसे अपनी दिनचर्या का हिस्सा बनाने से जीवन संतुलित और ऊर्जावान बनता है।

योगेन चित्तस्य पदेन वाचां
मलं शरीरस्य च वैद्यकेन।

योऽपाकरोत् तं परवरं मुनीनां
पतञ्जलिं प्राञ्जलिरानतोऽस्मि॥"

I bow down with folded palms to Sage Patanjali, the most exalted among the contemplative sages, who has removed impurity of the mind-content through Yoga, of speech through grammar and of the body through Ayurveda.
