  2. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi formed the government at the Centre for a third consecutive term on Sunday, June 9. PM Modi’s oath-taking ceremony Modi scheduled at 7:15 pm, marked a significant occasion as he becomes the first leader since former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to be elected for a third consecutive term after completing the full tenure of each previous term. As a reflection of India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy, several leaders and dignitaries from neighbouring countries and the Indian Ocean region were invited to attend PM Modi’s swearing-in ceremony as esteemed guests.
  3. On Sunday, Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, stated that the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), led by Ajit Pawar, was offered a Minister of State position, but the party insisted on a cabinet rank. Fadnavis explained that since the NCP only won one out of the four seats it contested in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, it was offered a Minister of State position. However, the NCP proposed Praful Patel for the role, who was already a minister, making him ineligible for the MoS independent charge. Consequently, the NCP will not be part of Narendra Modi’s new Cabinet.
  4. Following Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony, BJP chief JP Nadda hosted a dinner for MPs of the party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). This gathering comes after the NDA secured a third consecutive term in office through its victory in the recently held Lok Sabha elections. The menu for the dinner, held at Nadda’s residence, features items favoured during the summer season. This includes a variety of juices, shakes, stuffed litchi, matka kulfi, mango cream, raita, Jodhpuri sabzi, dal, dum biryani, Punjabi cuisine, bajra khichdi, eight types of desserts and four varieties of ghewar, along with white rasmalai.

School assembly speech

Determination

Good morning, respected teachers, dear students, and esteemed guests,

Today, I stand before you to talk about a quality that is fundamental to success in any endeavour – determination.

Determination is the fuel that propels us towards our goals, even when faced with obstacles and challenges along the way. It is the unwavering resolve to persevere, to keep pushing forward when the path ahead seems daunting or uncertain.

Think about some of the greatest achievements in history. From scientific breakthroughs to social movements, behind each success story lies a tale of relentless determination. Thomas Edison didn’t invent the light bulb on his first try; it took him thousands of attempts before he finally succeeded. But he never gave up. His determination kept him going until he achieved his goal.

Similarly, consider the story of Helen Keller, who overcame the dual challenges of deafness and blindness to become an influential author and activist. Despite facing immense adversity, her determination to learn and excel propelled her towards remarkable achievements.

But determination is not just about reaching lofty heights or achieving extraordinary feats. It is also about the everyday struggles we encounter – whether it’s mastering a difficult subject in school, excelling in sports, or pursuing our passions and dreams.

In the face of setbacks and failures, it is the determination that helps us pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and try again. It is the inner strength that keeps us going when the going gets tough.

So, how can we cultivate determination in our own lives? It starts with setting clear goals and having a strong sense of purpose. When we know what we want to achieve and why it matters to us, it becomes easier to stay focused and motivated, even when the journey is arduous.

But determination also requires resilience – the ability to bounce back from setbacks and learn from our mistakes. Instead of viewing failure as the end of the road, we should see it as an opportunity to grow and improve.

And finally, determination thrives in a supportive environment. Surround yourself with people who believe in you, and who encourage you to keep going even when the going gets tough.

In conclusion, determination is the key to unlocking our full potential and achieving our dreams. So let us embrace it wholeheartedly, let us face every challenge with courage and conviction, knowing that with determination, anything is possible.

Thank you.
