This morning, Priti and I had the privilege of seeking the blessings of Maa Kali at the sacred Kalighat Temple.
As the skies opened and rain fell over Kolkata, the moment felt especially humbling. With gratitude in our hearts, we prayed for the peace, prosperity and well-being of the people of Bengal and sought Maa Kali’s blessings for our journey ahead.
May Maa Kali’s strength guide us and may her grace remain with Bengal always.
জয় মা কালী।
काशी की पवित्र भूमि पर स्थित श्री काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर में पूजन-अर्चन का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ। महादेव से हमारे यशस्वी प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi के उत्तम स्वास्थ्य एवं दीर्घायु होने की कामना की। उनके नेतृत्व में विकसित भारत के संकल्प को और अधिक मज़बूती मिले, यही ईश्वर से प्रार्थना है।
A second flight has just taken off, carrying 37.5 tonnes of HADR material, medicines & food packets for Nepal.
India remains in close and continuous touch with the Nepalese authorities. We will continue to strongly support the ongoing relief efforts.

नेपाल में आई बाढ़ की विभीषिका अत्यंत दु:खद है। जिन परिवारों ने इस आपदा में अपने प्रियजनों को खोया है, मेरी संवेदनाएँ उनके साथ हैं। संकट की इस घड़ी में भारत सरकार नेपाल के साथ खड़ी है।
नेपाल में आई इस आपदा के संबंध में बिहार व उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्रियों से बात की। इसका प्रभाव जिन सीमावर्ती क्षेत्रों पर पड़ सकता है, वहाँ के स्थानीय प्रशासन और राहत-बचाव की टीमों के साथ NDRF को भी हाई अलर्ट पर रखा गया है।
Massive congratulations to @PawanKChandana, @bharathdaka, the brilliant @SkyrootA team and the enablers at ISRO and IN-SPACe.
History has been made as India’s private space sector enters a new era with Vikram-1 acing all mission objectives on its maiden orbital flight. True proof of what Atmanirbhar Bharat means!
With the average age of the team just 28 years, this is proof for the world what young India can achieve.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳!
Pained by the passing of Dr. Subhash C. Kashyap, who previously served as Secretary General of the Lok Sabha. He was one of India’s foremost constitutional scholars whose contributions to parliamentary and constitutional discourse enriched our society. His writings and commitment to strengthening democratic institutions were noteworthy. Condolences to his family and friends. Om Shanti.
The Prime Minister has announced that an ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each deceased. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000.
Congratulations to every citizen as India wins the prestigious bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad.
This is a testament to PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s vision for turning our Bharat into a global sports hotspot. Through penance spanning over a decade, Modi Ji has developed world-class sports infrastructure and uplifted our nation’s potential through effective governance and seamless teamwork.

During my Independence Day Speech, I had spoken about our intention to bring the Next-Generation reforms in GST.
The Union Government had prepared a detailed proposal for broad-based GST rate rationalisation and process reforms, aimed at ease of living for the common man and strengthening the economy.
Glad to state that @GST_Council, comprising the Union and the States, has collectively agreed to the proposals submitted by the Union Government on GST rate cuts & reforms, which will benefit the common man, farmers, MSMEs, middle-class, women and youth.
The wide ranging reforms will improve lives of our citizens and ensure ease of doing business for all, especially small traders and businesses.

Deeply saddened by the loss of lives due to an accident in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones in the mishap. May the injured recover soon.
An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each deceased. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000: PM @narendramodi
In the wake of heavy rainfall in different parts of the nation, spoke with the chief ministers of Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Chhattisgarh. Adequate numbers of NDRF teams have been deployed in the states for the people in need, and more reinforcements can be sent as and when required. Assured them of all possible assistance from the central government.
Congratulations @rpraggnachess!
Proud of you! Winning #UzChess, becoming India’s No.1 and World No.4 and you are still just 19!
What an achievement!
India’s youth is indeed our greatest strength. 🇮🇳♟️

It is a moment of great pride for every citizen, as Bharat has been designated as the host country for the prestigious 2029 World Police and Fire Games. Bharat winning the prestigious bid to host the event is a global recognition of our sprawling sports infrastructure built under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi Ji. Ahmedabad being selected as the venue of the event that brings together police, fire, and disaster services to compete in more than 50 sports is a testament to the city's rising stature as a sporting destination.
भारत माता के सच्चे सपूत वीर सावरकर जी को उनकी जन्म-जयंती पर आदरपूर्ण श्रद्धांजलि। विदेशी हुकूमत की कठोर से कठोर यातनाएं भी मातृभूमि के प्रति उनके समर्पण भाव को डिगा नहीं पाईं। आजादी के आंदोलन में उनके अदम्य साहस और संघर्ष की गाथा को कृतज्ञ राष्ट्र कभी भुला नहीं सकता। देश के लिए उनका त्याग और समर्पण विकसित भारत के निर्माण में भी पथ-प्रदर्शक बना रहेगा।
Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. MR Srinivasan whose contribution to India’s nuclear energy development program has been extraordinary. His contribution to India's energy security and scientific development will always be remembered. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of engineers and scientists. My condolences to members of his family, friends and admirers.
