The Prime Minister also shared a Sanskrit verse highlighting the importance of dedication and determination in achieving ambitious goals. He said people should pursue every task, whether large or small, with complete commitment and renewed enthusiasm, describing this as a quality to learn from a lion.
Later in the day, Prime Minister Modi will flag off the hydrogen-powered train from Haryana’s Jind. The train will run on the Jind-Sonipat pilot route, showcasing Indian Railways’ commitment to clean energy and sustainable mobility.
Powered by hydrogen fuel cells that emit only water vapour, the train offers a clean alternative to diesel engines.
