On the eve of the 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a glimpse of his morning routine on social media. In the post, he revealed that he feeds his pet peacocks and cows before setting off for the day, a ritual he considers a heartfelt connection with nature. The caption to the post stated, "Feeding my friends every morning is a daily routine. Yesterday morning, they somehow realized I'm leaving early so they came to meet me as I was leaving for the Red Fort. Special, as always!"
In the accompanying video, Modi can be seen dressed in a deep red kurta-pyjama with a headgear adorned with intricate white and yellow patterns. He offered leaves to the cows and grains to the peacocks before addressing the nation from the steps of the iconic Red Fort. This year, his Independence Day speech was notably the shortest in four years, lasting only 75 minutes. The brevity contrasted with his previous record-breaking speech, which lasted an impressive 103 minutes.
During his address, Modi touched upon various subjects, including Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors, Naxalism, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the concert economy, higher education, and coaching classes. He made special efforts to connect with the younger generation, discussing topics relevant to them such as AI skills training and free online coaching for students. The prime minister also urged the youth to help their families with the Census process.
A key highlight of his speech was the announcement of a program offering free online coaching for various exams to alleviate the financial burden on the poor and middle-class families. Modi emphasized the government's commitment to providing accessible education, stating, "Coaching classes burden the poor and the middle class. We will provide free online coaching for various exams."
He further announced that more than 2.5 lakh registered startups would benefit from the Start Up India initiative, along with a ₹1 lakh crore innovation fund to support the dreams of entrepreneurs.
