In this program, PM Modi said that, I congratulate all the countrymen for this important beginning and step. Today our friends from Taiwan have also participated in this program virtually. I am also very excited by these efforts of India. More than 60,000 colleges, universities and education institutes of the country are also associated with this amazing effort of ours. This is a record in itself."
The Prime Minister further said that, "I had made a special request to the Ministry that today's program is the dream program of the youth of the country and hence maximum number of youth should be included in this program.
