A student asked PM Modi how he accepts failure. Answering the question, PM Modi said, “accept that you tried your best and accept your failure. Live for yourself and not for the competition. The day we feel like the exam is our life, that’s when we face stress. The exam is not the end of the life.”
Talking to students, PM Modi said that students should practice digital fasting for one day a week to cut screen time. “This will help in reconnecting with family. We should keep one area as no technology zone and do not use any tech devices in that area,” he said
“How do we focus on our studies without getting distracted by social media?” a student asked
“We should decide for ourselves that we won’t be slaves to these gadgets. Say to yourself that you are an independent person, and make the best of technology. Consider yourself smarter than gadgets. Use technology, don’t let technology use you”: PM Modi replied.

A student asked PM Modi: “Where do I start studying? I feel like I am forgetting everything. Please guide me.”
PM Modi replied: “Not only for exams but in life, time management is very important. Work gets accumulated because we dont finish it on time. You should never feel tired to work, you need to feel happy, and if you don’t work, that is when you feel tired.
Take your mother as an example of time management, she never gets tired, observe your mother well, you will learn time management and micro-management best from your mother.”

In a first, India and Egypt have decided to flag cross-border terrorism, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting President of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi condemned the use of terrorism as a foreign policy tool.
This is significant given India’s criticism of Pakistan over the years over cross-border terrorism and for using terror as an instrument of state policy.
The Egyptian side signed off on this formulation that targeted Pakistan, a fellow member at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. New Delhi feels Cairo has a more nuanced and positive position towards India, especially at the OIC, which issues statements against India on Kashmir, and the situation of minorities in the country.
“How can they delete my name from the electoral roll… Am I dead? Today you are not allowing me to vote, tomorrow you may delete my name from the ration card, then from land records… where will this injustice end?” said Hemlata, whose name was allegedly deleted from the voter list ahead of the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
She moved court last year with a complaint that she faced discrimination based on caste, and received a ruling in her favour. Following the order of the SC/ST court, Gautam Buddha Nagar police Tuesday registered an FIR against three government officials.
A resident of Roshanpur village in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Hemlata takes care of work at home and the farm while her husband Mahendra Kumar is a labourer.
