'Marksheets are not the only measure of your ability', PM Modi's message to students amid board exams

News Topical, Digital Desk : Amid the ongoing 10th and 12th grade board exams, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged students to maintain confidence and avoid unnecessary stress. He also said that a student's ability isn't determined solely by their marks; they should strive to give their best.

In the 131st episode of Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, the PM told students, “I'm sure you're all diligently preparing for your exams. Doubts and worries are natural during exams, but don't let stress overwhelm you. Believe in yourself. Write down everything you've studied from the heart.”

He also advised students to maintain communication with their parents and teachers. He said, "They judge you based on your effort, not your marks. They are happy with your hard work." He said, "I am confident that you will succeed in your exams and achieve new heights in your lives."

The PM said that farmers aren't just food providers. They're true caretakers of the earth. Our farmers should learn how to turn soil into gold. The example of Hirod Patel in Odisha is truly inspiring. He cultivates paddy in the field and, using a sturdy trellis structure above it, grows vine vegetables. He has also planted bananas, guavas, and coconuts around the field. He also practices fish farming on this farm, which has increased his income manifold.

Global leaders are amazed by India's achievements in AI

Modi said that at the recent AI Summit in New Delhi, global leaders were amazed by India's achievements in this field. They were astonished to see how we are preserving ancient texts and knowledge with the help of AI. Modi said that two Indian products at the AI ​​Summit deeply impressed global leaders. The first product was displayed at Amul's booth, where it was explained that AI is being used to improve animal treatment.

Farmers are maintaining complete records of their dairy and livestock every minute. This is greatly facilitating milk production, health monitoring, and management. The second product was related to the country's culture. It demonstrated how ancient texts, manuscripts, and traditional knowledge are being preserved through AI. They are also being digitized and made accessible to the new generation.

The PM also said

• To avoid digital fraud, do not share your OTP, Aadhaar, or bank details with anyone. Change your passwords regularly. People should follow the RBI's advice and keep their KYC updated.
• The statue of British architect Edwin Lutyens at Rashtrapati Bhavan will be replaced by that of C. Rajagopalachari, independent India's first Indian Governor-General. The country is shedding symbols of slavery.
• Those who play, flourish. Sports also unites us. Players of Indian origin play in teams around the world. Players of Indian origin have now become the hallmark of India.
• Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa did a great deal of public welfare work, especially for women. My humble tribute to her.
• Use indigenous products during festivals. Remember to be vocal for local.
• Following the untimely death of 10-month-old Aalin, Kerala, her parents, Arun and Sherin, made a decision that touched the hearts of the entire nation. They decided to donate Aalin's organs. This step is not only an example of courage but also an inspiration to society.
• The centuries-old Mamangam tradition has been revived after a gap of nearly 250 years. Whether it's the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj or the Mamangam tradition in Kerala, it's not just a bathing festival. It's an awakening of memory. It's a reclamation of culture. From north to south, the rivers may be different, the banks may be different, but the stream of faith is the same—this is India.
