Your life will be enriched. Your thinking will expand. And trust me, there are places within India from where you will come back with renewed energy, enthusiasm, zeal and inspiration, and maybe you will feel like returning to certain places again and again; your family too would feel the same.”

”As I have said before, and I emphasize, that you must visit the north-east in your lifetime. What a glorious abundance of nature exists there. You will be left wonderstruck! Your horizon will expand. On August 15, I urged all of you from the ramparts of the Red Fort to visit at least 15 places within a span of the next three years, 15 places within India and for 100 per cent tourism, visit these 15 sites! Witness and observe. Do take the family and spend some time there,” the prime minister added. (UNI)
