A mother is never burdened by the enormous amount of work she does. If you observe your mother, you will learn how to manage your time effectively “PM Modi informed students.

A few students also asked him how he handles opposition and media criticism. PM Modi responded with a witty retort. “This is an off-topic question,” he explained.
