Veteran NASA Astronaut, Captain Jon McBride met Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi at his residence in Gandhinagar. Captain McBride has had a distinguished career with NASA and was on a visit to Gujarat, where he visited Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Patan, Baroda and Anand.
Captain McBride also presented Shri Modi with a personal memento, wishing him the very best for development in the state.
Present during the interaction was Additional Chief Secretary (Science and Technology) Shri Ravi Saxena.
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-
“अल्पानामपि वस्तूनां संहतिः कार्यसाधिका।
तृणैर्गुणत्वमापन्नैर्बध्यन्ते मत्तदन्तिनः॥”
The Sanskrit Subhashitam conveys that even small things, when brought together in a well-planned manner, can accomplish great tasks, and that a rope made of hay sticks can even entangle powerful elephants.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
“अल्पानामपि वस्तूनां संहतिः कार्यसाधिका।
तृणैर्गुणत्वमापन्नैर्बध्यन्ते मत्तदन्तिनः॥”
अल्पानामपि वस्तूनां संहतिः कार्यसाधिका।
