Narendra Modi tells graduates: "every decision you make" should focus on how it benefits the country
“You are all aware that every generation faces the specific challenges of its time and also bears its own national responsibility. Whatever you do over the next 30 to 35 years of your lives will influence our journey towards a 'Viksit Bharat'. Hence, every decision you make should also be focussed on how it will benefit the country. Which of the nation's needs will this fulfil?”

At IIT Delhi’s 57th convocation on Aug. 8, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told more than 3,000 graduates that their future choices will help determine whether India becomes a developed nation. He said every generation inherits its own obligations, and he urged graduates over the next 30–35 years to think about how their paths could contribute to national progress. Modi also said rapid technological and geopolitical change will bring both risks and openings, and that people who keep learning will prosper. He highlighted government research grants and initiatives, including a national research foundation and a plan to widen access to global journals, and virtually launched an AI-focused supercomputer at IIT Delhi’s Sonipat campus.
