Prime Minister Narendra Modi Celebrates Raksha Bandhan with Students
On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, which celebrates the special bond between brothers and sisters, school students tied ‘Rakhi’ to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and interacted with him. The event featured students tying ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ theme-based rakhis and discussing their contributions to PM Modi’s vision of Vikshit Bharat.
A student asked how they could contribute to Vikshit Bharat, to which PM Modi responded that they should stay healthy, hygienic, focus on their studies, and be generous. Students also sang Rakhi-based songs and joyfully hugged PM Modi.
PM Modi congratulated the students and extended his wishes to the public, praying for everyone’s happiness and prosperity. He posted on X, “Best wishes to all countrymen on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, a festival symbolizing the immense love between brother and sister. May this holy festival bring new sweetness in the relationships of all of you and happiness, prosperity and good fortune in life.”
Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Health Minister JP Nadda also extended their wishes, praying for happiness and prosperity for everyone.

On this day, sisters tie a rakhi around their brothers’ wrists, and in return, brothers offer gifts as a symbol of love and care. This festival is deeply rooted in Indian culture and has been celebrated for centuries.
