Sound and calm mind are important for youth now. He also laid focus on reducing the usage of chemical fertilizers. He said that chemical fertilizers have completely destroyed the soil of the country.

While Gurudev used the platform to give the Prime Minister the task of continuing to take India to greater heights and promoting it's traditions and cultures,which were earlier not well recieved and appreciated on various global platforms; Modi also have the teams and citizens the task of joining hands.
