Team’s Interaction with the Prime Minister
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur recalled their previous meeting with the Prime Minister after the 2017 World Cup and expressed happiness at finally meeting him with the trophy this time. Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana said the Prime Minister’s encouragement served as a great motivation for the entire team. The players presented him with a jersey bearing the name “NAMO”.
Moments of Inspiration and Lighter Conversations
Player of the Tournament Deepti Sharma told the Prime Minister she had been eager to meet him since 2017, remembering how he had motivated them to keep working hard toward their dream. When Modi mentioned her “Jai Shri Ram” Instagram bio and her Hanuman tattoo, Deepti said they gave her strength. Harmanpreet asked how he managed to always stay present and focused, to which Modi replied that it had become a way of life for him.
The Prime Minister also recalled key moments from the team’s journey, such as Harleen Deol’s stunning catch against England in 2021 and Amanjot Kaur’s juggling catch in the World Cup final, which he humorously said must have made her think about the trophy immediately after catching the ball. He fondly mentioned how Harmanpreet pocketed the ball after the final match, calling it a memorable gesture
Encouragement for Future Generations
During the meeting, Modi urged the players to promote the Fit India initiative and inspire young girls to take up sports. He expressed concern about the growing issue of obesity and highlighted the need for an active lifestyle. He encouraged the team to visit their former schools and motivate students to pursue fitness and sports
A Defining Moment for Indian Women’s Cricket
The Harmanpreet-led team returned to New Delhi two days after their historic 52-run win against South Africa in the final at Navi Mumbai, securing India’s maiden 50-over World Cup title. This achievement marked a turning point in Indian women’s cricket as the team became only the fourth side in the world to lift the ODI trophy. The players will now return to their hometowns, while Shafali Verma will travel to Nagaland to lead the North Zone team in the upcoming Inter-Zonal T20 tournament.

]]>Speaking at his first campaign rally in the state, Modi took a sharp dig at the INDIA bloc, saying it was led by “leaders who are currently out on bail.”
During the event, Modi asked the crowd to light up their mobile flashlights, symbolizing a move toward modernity. Taking a jab at the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), he remarked, “When everyone has access to modern technology, there’s no need for the old lantern anymore,” referring to the RJD’s election symbol.
The Prime Minister praised Nitish Kumar’s leadership, highlighting that despite facing difficulties during the Congress-led UPA government’s tenure, Nitish remained focused on development. “When he took office in 2005, nearly a decade of his term was affected by a non-cooperative central government, pressured by the RJD not to support Bihar’s NDA administration,” Modi said.
He emphasized that under the NDA government, Bihar has witnessed significant growth. “In the past eleven years, the state has received three times more central assistance than it did before. Bihar has made remarkable progress — from being dependent on others for basic needs to now exporting fish and expanding its makhana trade across the country and abroad,” Modi stated.
Calling Bihar an emerging investment destination, Modi envisioned a future driven by youth innovation. “I see every district of Bihar becoming a hub of startups led by young entrepreneurs,” he added, expressing optimism about the state’s development trajectory.

]]>While inaugurating the Shikshak Parv conclave through video conference in New Delhi, PM Modi said “N-DEAR is likely to play a major role in eradicating inequality in education and its modernization. N-DEAR will act as a “super connect” between various academic activities in the same way as UPI interface revolutionized the banking sector. The country is making technology like Talking Books and Audiobooks a part of education.”
The Prime Minister said that “Vidyanjali 2.0” is like a platform for the country’s resolve of “Sabka Prayas” with “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas”.
In this society, our private sector has to come forward and contribute to increasing the quality of education in government schools, he said.
“Vidyanjali 2.0”, a portal launched for facilitating education volunteers, donors and CSR contributors for school development.
PM Modi also launched School Quality Assessment and Assurance Framework (SQAAF) which would address the deficiency of the absence of a common scientific framework for dimensions like curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, infrastructure, inclusive practices and governance process. SQAAF will help in bridging this inequality.
The theme of “Shikshak Parv-2021” is “Quality and Sustainable Schools: Learnings from Schools in India”. Its celebration will encourage innovative practices to ensure not only continuity of education at all levels but to improve quality, inclusive practices and sustainability in the schools across the country as well.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Union Minister of State for Education Jitin Prasada were also present at the event.

]]>The post Nitish Kumar to meet PM Modi on Monday to demand a caste-based Census appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>“The respected Prime Minister has granted time at 11 am the day after tomorrow. An entire list of the delegation has been sent to him and also members of the ten parties going to the meeting,” Mr Kumar told reporters in Patna today.
“Right now, we are going to request that the Census must be conducted based on caste. It is up to the Centre to decide,” he said.
If such an exercise is conducted for the whole nation, the Chief Minister said, it would be “very beneficial”. He told media persons that there was demand everywhere for such an exercise.
The idea of such a delegation was mooted by the Mahagatbandhan alliance led by Mr Yadav, which had formally urged the Chief Minister to seek an appointment with PM Modi.
The BJP, an ally in Mr Kumar’s NDA regime in Bihar, has named Mr Ram as its representative in the delegation and not the Deputy Chief Ministers it has in the government.
This is significant and shows that PM Modi’s party doesn’t want to miss the caste-based Census bus. Yet, it is also signalling to its upper castes constituency that the party was being coerced into joining the delegation even though it was not important enough for senior leaders to be part of.
On August 9, Mr Kumar had said that if the Central government does not hold such a Census, a discussion may be initiated in the state on carrying out an exercise to enumerate caste data in Bihar. His statement came days after failing to elicit any response to a letter he wrote to PM Modi on the matter.
A few days later, Mr Yadav said the Prime Minister had insulted Chief Minister Kumar by not granting him the time sought to meet and discuss the matter.
Fresh demands for a caste-based Census have been triggered by a statement by the Centre in Parliament recently that an exercise to ascertain the population of only Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes was under consideration.
