Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged in an interactive session filled with joy and enthusiasm during the inauguration of the indigenous Vande Bharat Express trains.
The event took place inside the semi-high-speed train at Rani Kamlapati Station in Bhopal, where PM Modi interacted with school students. A delightful three-minute video capturing the session was shared on the Prime Minister's official Twitter account. In the video, PM Modi posed various questions to the students, covering topics such as the Vande Bharat Express trains and Yoga Day. The students had the opportunity to showcase their self-made poems and drawings, which added to the charm of the event. This interaction between the students and PM Modi was truly memorable, coinciding with the inauguration of five Vande Bharat Express trains.
Video starts with PM Modi asking the students about their favorite aspects of the train. The students responded enthusiastically, praising the world-class facilities, automated doors, and impressive interiors. The Prime Minister then encouraged the students to take pride in the fact that these semi-high-speed trains were manufactured in India. The video also captured PM Modi attentively listening to a Sanskrit shloka recited by one of the students, as well as a heartfelt poem dedicated to the train.
Towards the end of the video, PM Modi suggested an intriguing idea to the students: to travel for a week without using any cash and share their experiences with him in a letter. He also discussed International Yoga Day and encouraged the students to incorporate millets into their diets. PM Modi asked the students who had participated in Yoga Day on June 21 and who had added millets to their meals.
With the inauguration of five new Vande Bharat Express trains on June 27, the total number of operational trains reached 23. The newly introduced trains include the Bengaluru-Hubbali-Dharwad Vande Bharat Express, Bhopal-Indore Vande Bharat Express, Bhopal-Jabalpur Vande Bharat Express, Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat Express, and Patna-Ranchi Vande Bharat Express.
