- "The Champions Trophy is going on these days... But today, I am not going to talk about cricket with you all; rather, I will talk about the wonderful century that India has made in Space. Last month, the country witnessed Isro's 100th rocket launch... With time, the list of our achievements in space flight continues to grow longer. Be it building a launch vehicle, the success of Chandrayaan, Mangalyaan, and Aditya L-1, or carrying out the unprecedented mission of launching 104 satellites into space."
- "I will hand over social media accounts for a day to inspiring women to mark National Women's Day."
- "Recently, I visited Paris to participate in a big AI conference. There, the world praised India's progress in this sector... Recently, Thodasam Kailash, a government schoolteacher in Telangana's Adilabad helped us preserve our tribal languages. Using AI tools, he composed a song in the Kolami language. Be it the space sector or AI, the increasing participation of our youth has brought in a new revolution."
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to observe National Science Day by spending "one day as a scientist" through visits to research labs and planetariums.
- "More than 11,000 athletes from all over the country performed brilliantly in the National Games held in Uttarakhand. This event presented a new version of Devbhoomi. Uttarakhand is now emerging as a strong sporting force in the country... This is the power of sports, which transforms individuals and communities as well as the entire State. It inspires future generations and also promotes a culture of excellence. My congratulations to the services team for winning maximum gold medals in these games."
