He noted that over 10 million Indians living in Gulf countries are affected by these developments, urging citizens to remain united during this turbulent time.

“This is undoubtedly a challenging time. Through ‘Mann Ki Baat’, I once again urge citizens to remain united and overcome this challenge,” Modi stated, highlighting the importance of solidarity among the 140 crore citizens of India. He further expressed gratitude to the Gulf countries for their assistance to the Indian community abroad.

Modi’s address also touched on the Gyan Bharatam Survey, which aims to gather information about manuscripts across India. This initiative is set to continue until mid-June, showcasing the government’s commitment to preserving India’s rich cultural heritage.

In a notable achievement, over 12 lakh youth participated in the Budget quest organized by MY Bharat, reflecting a growing engagement among younger generations in national issues. Modi praised this involvement, indicating a positive trend towards civic participation.

Additionally, the Prime Minister celebrated the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team’s remarkable victory in the Ranji Trophy, marking their first win in nearly seven decades. This victory is seen as a significant milestone for the region, fostering a sense of pride and unity.

In a remarkable feat, Gulveer Singh became the first Indian athlete to complete a half-marathon in under an hour, showcasing the potential of Indian athletes on the global stage. Modi’s acknowledgment of such achievements serves to inspire the youth and promote sports in the country.

Moreover, environmental efforts were highlighted as over 2 lakh 51 thousand saplings were planted in Varanasi within a single hour, setting a new Guinness World Record. This initiative underscores the government’s focus on sustainability and environmental conservation.

As the month of March has been described as ‘very turbulent’ on the global stage due to ongoing conflicts, observers remain attentive to how these issues will evolve and impact India.
