Quotes
Narendra Modi
Prime Minister of India
“Can you come up with slogans for the 'Nasha Mukt Bharat' campaign? Can our young musicians make songs that contain the message of a drug-free life? Can students and theatre groups write heart-touching short plays that address the dangers of drugs as well as show a way to break free from them? There is no dearth of excellent content creators in our country. I urge them to make content in different languages that can help society in this direction.”
