PM shares a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the qualities of a wise individual
April 08, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today noted that the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, launched exactly 11 years ago, has proven to be very helpful in the self-employment of youth.

The Prime Minister stated that the success of this scheme demonstrates how, when given the right opportunities, an individual can not only become self-reliant but also contribute to the progress of the nation. In this context, Shri Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the qualities of a wise individual.

The Prime Minister wrote on X:

"आज से ठीक 11 वर्ष पहले शुरू की गई प्रधानमंत्री मुद्रा योजना युवाओं के स्वरोजगार में बहुत मददगार साबित हुई है। इस योजना की सफलता बताती है कि सही अवसर मिलने पर व्यक्ति न सिर्फ आत्मनिर्भर बन सकता है, बल्कि राष्ट्र की प्रगति में भी योगदान दे सकता है।

आत्मज्ञानं समारम्भस्तितिक्षा धर्मनित्यता।
यमर्था नापकर्षन्ति स वै पण्डित उच्यते॥

#11YearsOfMUDRA"

A person who is fully aware of their abilities, who is self-reliant and committed to performing benevolent actions, who patiently endures adverse circumstances and who consistently follows righteous conduct and whom greed cannot divert from their path-is truly called wise.
