PM Modi Prioritizes Students' Exams Over Schedule at Bhopal Summit

PM Modi explained that upon his arrival in Bhopal, he realized that his scheduled departure from Raj Bhavan coincided with students heading to their examination centers. Concerned that road closures for security reasons could disrupt their commute, he decided to delay his departure by 15-20 minutes to allow students to reach their centers without hindrance.

"First of all, I want to apologize for being late in coming here. The delay happened because when I reached here yesterday, one thing came to my mind—that today, there is an exam for the students of Class 10th and 12th, and the timing clashed with my leaving the Raj Bhavan. If roads were closed due to security reasons, students might have faced difficulties reaching their examination centers. To avoid this, I decided to leave only after all students had reached their centers. Because of this, I delayed my departure by 15-20 minutes. For your inconvenience, I once again apologize to you all," PM Modi stated in his address.

The Prime Minister’s considerate move resonated strongly with attendees at the summit, highlighting his sensitivity toward students’ academic commitments. The Bhopal Global Investors Summit 2025, aimed at attracting investments and fostering economic growth in Madhya Pradesh, witnessed the presence of top business leaders, policymakers, and investors.

PM Modi’s gesture further emphasized the government’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being of citizens, ensuring that development initiatives do not disrupt the everyday lives of people.
