While addressing the National Youth Festival at Rohtak, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled the values of Swami Vivekananda. Shri Modi said that Vivekananda wanted to create an atmosphere of brotherhood amongst the youth. He said that youth can be agents of change in the fight against black money and corruption.

Shri Modi said that ours is a youthful nation and imbibing the ideals of Vivekananda, India’s youth has the potential to make the country ‘Vishwaguru’.

Shri Modi said that youth can play a leading role in moving towards a less-cash society and inculcating habits of transacting digitally among the elders. He said, “Today, youth plays a significant role when taking the country towards increased digital economy.”

“Corruption has had adverse impact on our country and it is now time to rid India from the grasps of such evils. Youth can give a major boost to our fight against corruption and black money. I urge the youth to inculcate the habit of doing cashless transactions in at least ten families and promote a less-cash society”, said the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam, highlights commitment to women empowerment
April 16, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that with the special session of Parliament commencing today, the country is set to take a historic step towards women empowerment. He noted that respect for mothers and sisters is respect for the nation, and with this spirit, the country is moving forward with firm resolve in this direction.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Shubhashitam-

“व्युच्छन्ती हि रश्मिभिर्विश्वमाभासि रोचनम्।
ता त्वामुषर्वसूयवो गीर्भिः कण्वा अहूषत॥”

The Sanskrit Shubhashitam conveys that a woman, with the light of her knowledge, dispels the darkness of ignorance and illuminates the entire world. Therefore, those who aspire for prosperity and noble virtues always honor and respect women.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“आज से शुरू हो रही संसद की विशेष बैठक में हमारा देश नारी सशक्तिकरण के लिए ऐतिहासिक कदम उठाने जा रहा है। हमारी माताओं-बहनों का सम्मान राष्ट्र का सम्मान है और यही भावना लेकर हम इस दिशा में दृढ़ता से आगे बढ़ रहे हैं।

व्युच्छन्ती हि रश्मिभिर्विश्वमाभासि रोचनम्।

ता त्वामुषर्वसूयवो गीर्भिः कण्वा अहूषत॥”
