Modi urges IIT Delhi graduates to question, find solutions
The person who leads a big country called India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave a special talk to students who just finished school at a famous university called IIT Delhi.
He told them to always ask questions and not just believe everything they hear.
He also said that when they see a problem, they should be brave and try to fix it themselves.
He told them that learning new things every day is the best way to win in a world that changes very fast.
He said their degree is not just about getting good marks, but shows they can solve very hard problems.
He was proud of young people who help build rockets and make India strong.
He said India wants to make its own things instead of depending on other countries.
This talk happened right after many young people protested about problems with school exams, and the minister in charge of education had to leave his job.
Now the Prime Minister wants to listen to young people and encourage them.
PM Narendra Modi told IIT Delhi graduates to question things accepted without thought and have the courage to find their solutions.
He said life's most critical challenges after campus would be 'out of syllabus' and urged graduates to keep their curiosity and learning instinct alive.
Modi said an IIT degree is a global certification of problem-solving ability, not just a high CGPA or a lucrative placement.
He praised young Indians building rockets and said India is moving toward economic, technological and industrial self-reliance under 'Viksit Bharat'.
The speech came as Modi steps up Gen Z outreach after Cockroach Janata Party protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over alleged exam irregularities ended with Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
