Today, there is so much discussion about Drone Didi in every village, Namo Drone Didi, Namo Drone Didi is on everyone’s lips. Everyone is talking about them,” he said.
With Lok Sabha elections round the corner, Modi urged first time voters to exercise their franchise in large numbers.

Through this, first time voters have been especially requested to vote in maximum numbers. India is proud of its youth power full of enthusiasm and energy. The more our youth participate in the electoral process, the more beneficial its results will be for the country,” the PM said.
Modi also informed social media influencers about the “National creators award’ contest started on the mygov portal.
“Today anyone who has a mobile, has become a content creator. Social media has helped a lot in this way. Today, several youngsters are creating content in different segments — travel, food, etc. We have started a contest on mygov — ‘National creators award’,” he added.
