When we speak of a Viksit Bharat, and when we see Prime Minister Modi on foreign visits, where thousands of Indians, along with foreign nationals, wait for hours just to catch a glimpse of him, we all feel immense pride in our country. When the Prime Minister does this, all 140 crore Indians feel proud. If each one of us contributes even a little in the same spirit, every Indian will develop deep affection for this motherland, and everyone will come together to help build the nation,” CM said.Gupta also highlighted the need to strengthen education opportunities in Delhi and said the government was working towards developing the national capital as an education hub.
