to build an educated society, because only an intelligent and educated society

can play an effective role in nation-building. He cited India's growing role on

the international stage, the global celebration of Yoga Day, and the G-20

summit events held in various states, saying that these have given the world an

opportunity to understand India's culture and potential.

world's 11th largest economy, while now it has become the fifth largest.

progress. He said that promoting startups has provided opportunities for youth

to launch new ventures. Referring to the country's infrastructure development,

from Jammu and Kashmir, the surgical strike against terrorism, and Operation

Sindoor, he said that India's security policy has undergone a transformation.

He described UPI as a significant achievement for India in the field of digital

payments.

Discussing teacher interests, Pankaj Chaudhary said that the
