The true identity of New India is no longer based solely on degrees or money. Youth like Pratap are proving that with determination, hard work, and dedication, anyone can reach the global stage.

ЁЯЫбя╕П Modi GovernmentтАЩs Role in Recognizing True Talent
How Modi Government Supported Him:
- PratapтАЩs story reached PM Narendra Modi.
- Modi personally congratulated him and arranged a job in DRDOтАЩs drone division.
- Today, Pratap works as a scientist in DRDO, travels internationally, and brings drone technology orders to India.
Shift in National Policy Toward Meritocracy:
- Unlike previous regimes that favored party loyalists and political allies, the Modi government recognizes true talent from the grassroots.
- Awards like Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, and Gallantry Honors now go to:
- Rural innovators.
- Tribal artists and folk heroes.
- Scientists, athletes, farmers, and educators from modest backgrounds.
This stands in stark contrast to earlier governments where:
- Awards were given based on political proximity or elite influence.
- Talented individuals were neglected, ridiculed, or demoralized.
ЁЯзн Why This Matters for the Nation
The Bigger Picture:
PratapтАЩs story is more than personal triumph тАФ it symbolizes the rise of New India.
A country where:
- Merit is celebrated, not muffled.
- Youth are empowered, not exploited.
- Talent is rewarded, not sidelined.
Under ModiтАЩs Leadership:
- India has become a place where the son of a poor farmer can reach DRDO, fly to Tokyo, and beat the world.
- National pride and service have taken precedence over money and personal gain.
