The children also seized the opportunity to pose questions to Prime Minister Modi, creating an interactive and inspiring atmosphere, it said.

In response to a question, the prime minister shared his passion for music and how it aids him in meditation.

Asked about the recently launched Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana, he recalled his initiatives to harness solar energy during his tenure as the chief minister of Gujarat, elucidating the benefits that the scheme will bring to the people, the statement said.

The prime minister also took the opportunity to enlighten the young minds about ‘Parakram Diwas’ and how the government is honouring the legacy of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, it said.
