‘Wisdom of the Gita inspires people’
Speaking about his recent visit to Kurukshetra, the PM said his experience at the newly built ‘Anubhav Kendra’ was memorable. He said it was very special for him to be a part of the International Gita Mahotsav, held at Kurukshetra’s Brahma Sarovar.
“I was highly impressed to see how people from all over the world are getting inspired by the divine scripture, The Gita. The festival attracted participants from many countries, including Europe and Central Asia. At the beginning of this month, for the first time, The Gita was presented on a public platform in Saudi Arabia. A memorable Gita Mahotsav was also organised in Europe’s Latvia…” he said.
“The divine wisdom of the Gita inspires people from every corner of the world,” the Prime Minister added.
PM hails ISRO’s drone competition
Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about ISRO‘s drone competition, saying he was glad to see Gen-Z flying drones in conditions those on Mars. “The drones would take off, stay stable for a while, then suddenly crash to the ground. This was because these drones had absolutely no GPS support. GPS is not possible on Mars, so the drone cannot receive any external signal or guidance,” he said.
“The drone had to fly using its camera and in-built software… This is why drones kept crashing one after another. A team from Pune won the competition. Their drone also fell many times, crashed, but they did not give up. After a lot of effort, their drone finally managed to fly for some time in Mars-like conditions… This video reminded me of the day Chandrayaan went out of network coverage. That day, the entire country, especially the scientists, was demoralised. But this setback did not deter them. On that very day, they started writing the success story of Chandrayaan-3… The determination of our youth is the greatest strength of Viksit Bharat…” he added.
