The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Both the adulation and the dismissal of PM Modi's I-Day speech miss nuance. Critics who call it recycled ignore that consistent messaging on Viksit Bharat builds credibility. Admirers who see only vision overlook that the free coaching announcement does not fix the flawed examination system that sparked protests. The real test will be whether the AI training and coaching programmes actually improve outcomes, or become another centrally-run scheme with patchy implementation.
