A person does not always get depressed all of a sudden. There are signs that show a person is heading into depression. Ignoring these signs is not a good idea. In a nation like ours, the subject of depression is very worrying. The more we talk openly about aspects relating to depression and mental health, it is better. We must always express, never suppress: PM Modi.

Our learning cannot be reduced to exams only. Our education must equip us to face various challenges of life as well: PM Modi
