Prime Minister underscored the importance of courage and intelligence to inspire youth and social classes on the national stage and cited an ancient Sanskrit proverb.
In a national forum held near the President’s House, the Prime Minister framed courage and wisdom as the two fundamental pillars of the country’s development in his address. He said that in today’s rapidly changing global landscape, it is essential to cultivate confidence and prudent decision‑making among citizens to keep the nation on the path of progress. In this context, the Prime Minister cited an ancient Sanskrit proverb, “धैर्यं धीरस्य बलम्” (Patience is the strength of the steadfast), to convey that courage is not merely physical strength but arises from patience and thoughtful deliberation.
Alongside the proverb, the Prime Minister highlighted several steps being taken to revive Sanskrit in education policy. He explained that the government has introduced Sanskrit as an optional subject in various educational institutions, made the study of the language accessible through digital platforms, and launched special initiatives to raise cultural awareness among the youth. The aim of this initiative is not only to preserve the language but also to transmit the values of Indian civilization to the new generation through it.
Experts believe that the Prime Minister’s message will encourage confidence and innovation at the national level while strengthening cultural heritage. Many social organizations praised the occasion as a source of inspiration for young people and noted that using such proverbs in public discourse can infuse new energy. Thus, by highlighting the convergence of courage and wisdom, the Prime Minister reaffirmed his commitment to establishing a balance between Indian tradition and modern development.
