Country is not formed by governments alone. What is also important is fulfilling our duties as citizens: PM
Our conduct as citizens will determine the future of India, it will decide the direction of new India: PM

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today, visited Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. He attended the closing ceremony of the Centenary Celebration of Jagadguru Vishwaradhya Gurukul at Jangamwadi Mutt in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

At the event, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi also released the translated version of ‘Shri Siddhant Shikhamani Granth’ in 19 languages.
