Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced artificial intelligence training for one crore youth, free online coaching for competitive exams, and a nationwide sports talent hunt in his 13th Independence Day address, linking them to the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. He warned against 'dimagi (intellectual) naxals' influencing policy and said Vande Mataram resonated at Red Fort for the first time on August 15, marking 150 years of the national song. Three semiconductor plants have started exporting output, with five to eight more expected in seven to eight years. Modi also called on young people to join the national census.
