Chouhan Recalls PM Modi's Early Tech Vision
During the launch, Chouhan recalled one of his memories of PM during the elections from far back, through which he highlighted that PM Modi was able to recognise the impact of technology in the development of the nation. "In a meeting that was organised to prepare for the elections. In that meeting, Narendra Bhai asked, 'Tell me, who has an email ID?' People started looking at each other's faces. There was a moment of silence, then the late Babulalji Gaur, who later became Chief Minister, said, 'Narendra Bhai, what's going to happen with this female email?'...He (PM Modi) knew that technology was essential to shape India's future, to build a developed India. He understood the use of technology at that time. He could see far ahead and work to make arrangements ahead of time," he told the attendees.
The event was attended by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami and Delhi CM Rekha Gupta, along with several Union Ministers, public representatives and distinguished guests.

Emphasising that he has woven the "invaluable experiences, memories, lessons, and emotional moments" with the PM in this book, Chouhan expressed confidence that it will give the next generation a look inside Prime Minister Modi's "personality, the vastness of his heart, his dedication to national service, and his intimate affection toward workers."
