The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today met Shri Balwant Kumawat, a youth from Bhilwara, Rajasthan.

After his meeting with the Prime Minister, Shri Kumawat resumed wearing footwear. The Prime Minister advised Shri Kumawat to now devote his energies to a positive cause for nation-building. He also urged Shri Kumawat not to take a pledge which would cause physical discomfort.
