He recalled former Union minister Arun Jaitley, an SRCC alumnus, who often shared stories of the college.
Modi highlighted the college's humble beginnings in Daryaganj and the significance of the name "SRCC" in Delhi University. To mark the occasion, he released a commemorative coin and two poetry anthologies. Modi credited SRCC with shaping generations of students, emphasizing the institution's role in refining students for professional and public life.
He revisited his 2013 speech, saying it still resonated after 13 years and used the metaphor of a glass of water to illustrate different perspectives.
