Last year, PM Modi's virtual interaction with the PMRBP awardees was held on January 25. While interacting, PM Modi praised the awardees; he said the works are incredible at such a young age. Someone is now glorifying the country in sports, or someone is conducting research and innovation. The practice of enhancing India's pride will be seen in the future when one amongst you would become a player, scientist, political leader, or CEO.
