COVID-19's biggest lesson is that we become self-reliant: PM Modi to Gram Panchayat Members
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday while interacting with gram panchayat members said that the biggest lesson the coronavirus pandemic has taught India is to become self-reliant. PM Modi complimented the gram panchayat members for describing the social distancing in simple words 'Do gaz ki doori' (maintaining distance of two yards) so that people can understand it easily.
"The biggest lesson coronavirus has taught us is to become self-reliant," PM Modi said, adding that it is now important that the villages also become self-reliant for their basic needs. PM Modi said that the coronavirus had thrown up new challenges which the country never faced before. But it also made people learn new things.
While applauding people for adhering to the lockdown rules, the Prime Minister said it is because of them, (citizens of India) the entire world is talking about how India has responded to coronavirus crisis.
