Top quotes of PM Modi
- At this time, the entire world is in the news for the Paris Olympics. The Olympics give our players a chance to hoist the Indian flag on the world stage and to do something for their country. You too encourage your players, Cheer For Bharat.
- A few days ago, an Olympics also took place in the world of mathematics. International Mathematics Olympiad. Indian students have performed very well in this Olympiad. In this, our team has performed best and won four Gold Medals and one Silver Medal.
- Youths from more than 100 countries participate in the International Mathematics Olympiad and in the overall tally, our team has been successful in coming in the top five. The names of these students who brought glory to the country are – Aditya Venkat Ganesh from Pune, Siddharth Chopra from Pune, Arjun Gupta from Delhi, Kanav Talwar from Greater Noida, Rushil Mathur from Mumbai and Anando Bhaduri from Guwahati.
- The Ahom Empire began in the 13th century and lasted until the beginning of the 19th century. It is a great thing that an empire survived for such a long period. Perhaps the principles and beliefs of the Ahom kingdom were so strong that it sustained this dynasty for so long.
- Maidam is a mound-like structure, covered with soil on top and has one or more rooms below. This Maidam is a symbol of respect for the late kings and dignitaries of the Ahom kingdom. This way of paying respect to one’s ancestors is very unique. Community worship was also held at this place.
- Charaideu Maidam of Assam is being included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this list, it will be the 43rd site in India, but the first site in the Northeast. Charaideo was the first capital of the Ahom dynasty. The Ahom dynasty traditionally kept the bodies of their ancestors and their valuables in Maidam.
- On March 9 this year, I had the honour of unveiling the tallest statue of the great Ahom warrior Lasit Borphukan, a symbol of indomitable courage and bravery. During this program, I had a different experience while following the spiritual tradition of Ahom community. It is a great privilege for me to have the opportunity to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ahom community at Lasit Maidam.
- Project PARI is becoming a great medium to bring emerging artists on one platform to popularise public art. You must have seen beautiful paintings made on the roadsides, on walls and in underpasses. These paintings and art works are made by the artists who are associated with PARI. While this enhances the beauty of our public places, it also helps in making our culture more popular.
- Now in ‘Mann Ki Baat’ we will talk about ‘colours’… such colours which have filled the lives of more than 250 women of Rohtak district of Haryana with colours of prosperity. These women associated with the handloom industry earlier used to make their living by running small shops and doing small jobs. These women joined ‘UNNATI Self Help Group’ and got training in block printing and dyeing. These women who spread the magic of colours on clothes are earning lakhs of rupees today.
- We will celebrate ‘National Handloom Day’ on 7th August. Nowadays, the way handloom products have made their place in the hearts of people is really very successful, tremendous. Now many private companies are also promoting handloom products and sustainable fashion through AI.
- The turnover of Khadi Village Industries has crossed Rs 1.5 lakh crore for the first time and Khadi sales have increased by 400%. This increasing sale of Khadi and handloom is also creating a large number of new employment opportunities. Most of the women are associated with this industry, hence they are the ones who are getting the maximum benefit.
- If you have not bought Khadi clothes till now, then start from this year. The month of August has arrived, this is the month of independence, the month of revolution. What better occasion than this to buy Khadi.
- If anyone has any other information related to drugs, they can also share it with the ‘Narcotics Control Bureau’ by calling on this number. Every information shared with ‘MANAS’ is kept confidential. I urge all the people, all the families, all the organizations working to make India ‘drugs free’ to make full use of MANAS Helpline.
- The government has opened a special centre named ‘Manas’. This is a big step in the fight against drugs. A few days ago, the helpline and portal of ‘Manas’ were launched. The government has issued a toll free number ‘1933’. Anyone can call on this number and get necessary advice or information related to rehabilitation.
- In India, Tigers have been an integral part of our culture. We all have grown up listening to stories related to tigers. In the villages around the forest, everyone knows how to live in harmony with the tiger. There are many villages in our country where there is never a conflict between humans and tigers, but even where such a situation arises, unprecedented efforts are being made for the conservation of tigers.
