'Every Child Should Read And Imbibe The Lessons Of PM Modi’s Book ‘Exam Warriors’: CM Yogi Adityanath

Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged all children to read Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s book ‘Exam Warriors’. He stated that it is essential for every youth and citizen. The CM distributed the book to the children at the 5th Gomti Book Festival-2026 held at Lucknow University. The Chief Minister emphasized that the youth should not be confined to a narrow knowledge sphere.

He highlighted how the efforts of the last decade have transformed Uttar Pradesh from a 'BIMARU' state to a place where the youth's identity is no longer a crisis. The CM also pointed out that the digital era has bridged the gap between urban and rural areas. He posed for photographs with the young students who received the book, their faces showing joy.

The Chief Minister claimed that the festival encourages youth, students, writers, and publishers to explore various books and learn from them. He also mentioned that autobiographies can help readers understand the life struggles of great personalities, while research and journeys of scientists can guide creativity. The Chief Minister stressed that knowledge should not be restricted and advocated for an open approach, similar to the Indian tradition of sages passing knowledge from generation to generation.

He highlighted the transformation of rural areas through the establishment of libraries in 57,600 gram panchayats across the state, facilitated by the National Book Trust. The CM also mentioned the improvement in schools under the Basic and Secondary Education Council, thanks to Operation Kayakalp.
