Modi urged graduates to embrace lifelong learning, adding that those who keep learning will succeed. He highlighted government initiatives: the Prime Minister's Research Fellowship, a Rs 1 lakh crore research fund, the National Research Foundation, and the One Nation One Subscription scheme that gives remote students free access to global journals.
