QuoteThe amazing talent of my young friends filled me with new energy: PM

Prime Minister: So, you are an artist as well?

Student: Sir, this is your poem.

Prime Minister: Ah, so you’ll recite my poem?

Student:

"अपने मन में एक लक्ष्य लिए, मंज़िल अपनी प्रत्यक्ष लिए

हम तोड़ रहे हैं जंजीरें, हम बदल रहे हैं तकदीरें

ये नवयुग है, ये नव भारत, हम खुद लिखेंगे अपनी तकदीर

हम बदल रहे हैं तस्वीर, खुद लिखेंगे अपनी तकदीर

हम निकल पड़े हैं प्रण करके, तन-मन अपना अर्पण करके

जिद है, जिद है एक सूर्य उगाना है, अम्बर से ऊँचा जाना है

एक भारत नया बनाना है, अम्बर से ऊँचा जाना है, एक भारत नया बनाना है।"

(With a goal in mind, with the destination in sight,
We are breaking chains, we are changing destinies.
This is a new era, this is a new India, we will write our own destiny.
We are changing the image, we will write our own destiny.
We have set out with a pledge, having dedicated our body and mind.
I am determined, I am determined to start a new beginning,
I must go higher than the sky.
We have to build a new India,
We must rise above the sky,
We have to build a new India).
