Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited his parliamentary constituency Varanasi today to celebrate his 68th birthday with schoolchildren. PM Modi interacted with students at a school in Narur village. He was welcomed by a team of Anganwadi and Asha workers who thanked him for the pay hike compensation. A group of students heartily welcomed the Prime Minister by singing 'Swagatam' and the birthday song to wish him.
Modi, who is on a 2-day visit to Varanasi, first interacted with students of a primary school at Narur on the outskirts of the temple town and later met students of the Kashi Vidyapeeth and the children assisted by them at the Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) campus. "As students, it is vital to ask questions. Never feel afraid to ask questions. It is a key aspect of learning," Modi said in his interaction at the Narur school on a variety of subjects, calling the children "future of India".
