The Prime Minister also spoke about the contribution of the Indian navy not only in times of war but also of peace, and called for creating an atmosphere of respect and gratitude towards the armed forces of the country.
He touched upon various issues like climate change, organic farming, conservation of soil and the need to encourage children, who he said had impressed him by their level of understanding and wisdom. (AGENCIES)
