Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that the brave deeds done by these children are proof that God has kept in each one of us, an element that inspires us all to live for others. He said not everyone gets a chance to die for others, but everyone has a chance to live for others. However, there are very few who are actually able to accomplish this.

Commending the children for their brave and selfless acts, the Prime Minister said that they had shown courage in the face of adversity, without bothering about the consequences. He said the "biggest beauty” of the deeds performed by the brave children, was that, when faced with a certain situation, they could not stop themselves from acting with courage. He said that in the process, they had inspired others in society.

May 21, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam, noting that our motherland has been the sacred land of spiritual practice and worship, as well as courage, strength, and universal welfare. Shri Modi expressed his earnest wish that this holy land of great heritage and ancient culture may always keep everyone replete with happiness and prosperity.

The Prime Minister posted on X:

"हमारी मातृभूमि साधना और उपासना के साथ-साथ साहस, शक्ति और सर्व-कल्याण की पुण्यभूमि रही है। महान विरासत और प्राचीन संस्कृति की यह पावन धरती हर किसी को सदैव सुख-समृद्धि से परिपूर्ण रखे, यही कामना है।

यस्यां पूर्वे पूर्वजना विचक्रिरे यस्यां देवा असुरानभ्यवर्तयन् ।
गवामश्वानां वयसश्च विष्ठा भगं वर्चः पृथिवी नो दधातु ।।"

May the land where our ancestors performed great and benevolent deeds, and where the gods defeated the unjust forces, that motherland, full of livestock and power, grant us vast space and prosperity.
