New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday interacted with youngsters who were selected under the ‘Know Your Leader’ programme to participate in the ceremony to honour Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in the Central Hall of Parliament. This interaction took place at his residence in New Delhi.

Mr. Modi engaged in a candid and free-wheeling interaction with the youngsters and discussed various facets of the life of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The Prime Minister suggested the youngster to read biographies of historic personalities to learn the kind of challenges they faced in their lives and how they overcame these challenges.

During the interaction, the youngsters shared their



excitement about getting the unique opportunity to meet the Prime Minister and to sit in the Central Hall of Parliament. They added that the programme has also given them an understanding of what unity in diversity is, by coming across so many individuals from all corners of the country.

Earlier, only dignitaries were used to be invited to pay floral tributes to national icons in Parliament but this practice has been changed. These 80 youngsters were selected from across the country to participate in the floral tribute function in Parliament. Thirty-one of them also got an opportunity to speak on the contributions of Netaji at the floral tributes function.
