Heartfelt thanks to @diljitdosanjh for graciously accepting our request not to perform in Delhi on November 1, coinciding with the anniversary of the tragic 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Concert is now reschudled to 30th oct . Daljit is a true son of Punjab, a proud turbaned global icon, and an inspiration to millions who look up to him . His sensitivity towards the sentiments of the victims and their families reflects the responsibility and compassion that come with your stature. May he continues to make Punjab and India proud. 🙏 @LiveNation @bookmyshow

Met the youth at @sunfoundationIn Drug Rehabilitation Centre in Amritsar who have completed their Commis Chef course as part of their journey from addiction to recovery. After battling drug addiction for 15–20 years, they are now beginning a new chapter. I assured them my support in setting up their own food carts so they can earn a livelihood with dignity. Recovery must lead to self-reliance.

Visited @sunfoundationIn Swami Vivekanand Drug Rehabilitation Centre run by Sun Foundation in Amritsar today and interacted with young people on their journey of recovery and skill development. I have assured the recovering youth that we will facilitate their job placements & Start ups. Rehabilitation must lead to a livelihood — skills, employment, dignity and economic independence are essential for a lasting return to mainstream life. I was also deeply concerned to learn of alleged drug sales in the vicinity of the rehabilitation centre. This allegation must be verified immediately, and if found true, strict action should follow. A rehabilitation centre must be a safe space for recovery, not a place where vulnerable youth remain exposed to drugs. #nashamuktpunjab

Listening to the 138th episode of #MannKiBaat with great admiration at Airport Lounge. From our brave soldiers and India’s firm resolve against terrorism, to the national responsibility of the Census, the legacy of Ashok Singhal Ji, and the inspiring women of Jharkhali in the Sundarbans, who are creating mangrove forests while building livelihoods — Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji once again brings the stories and spirit of ordinary Indians to the heart of the nation. The mention of Ganesh Utsav and our traditional, eco-friendly celebrations was equally inspiring — reminding us that our faith and our responsibility towards nature can beautifully go hand in hand. This is the strength of #MannKiBaat — a Prime Minister who listens to the people, celebrates their contributions and inspires 140 crore Indians to become partners in building a Viksit Bharat. @blsanthosh @manthriji @BJP4India @AmitShah

Hundreds of GenZ at the @sunfoundationIn Multi Skill Development Centre, Amritsar, came together today to celebrate the birthday of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji through the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ campaign under #SevaSankalpAbhiyan. In a heartfelt tribute, the youth expressed their admiration through soulful poetry, beautiful sketches and powerful artistic expressions—celebrating a remarkable journey of 25 years of public service, tireless dedication to nation-building and an enduring vision of a Viksit Bharat. The energy of Punjab’s youth reflected the deep resonance of the leadership journey of PM Modi that has placed India’s aspirations, its youth and its global stature at the centre of the national conversation. 🇮🇳 May the light of this ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ continue to symbolise the aspirations of millions for a stronger, more prosperous and more confident India. @BJP4India #HappyBirthdayModiJi #AashirwadKaDiya #ViksitBharat

At Sun Foundation, we believe the fight against drugs must go beyond slogans. We are empowering inmates through skills, rehabilitation and livelihoods, restoring dignity and hope. Punjab’s youth deserve opportunity, not addiction.
45% of inmates in Punjab’s jails are registered for drug-dependence treatment, with 15,678 of 35,449 prisoners enrolled in OOAT clinics. A majority are young people aged 18–45. These shocking figures raise a serious question: what is the Punjab Government’s ground-level impact in its much-publicised “Yudh Nashiyan Virudh” campaign? The drug crisis cannot be fought through slogans alone. We need sustained prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and, most importantly, dignified livelihood opportunities. Our NGO @sunfoundationIn is working on this very approach by providing skill education and livelihood-oriented training to inmates, helping them rebuild their lives and become economically independent. Punjab’s youth need a future—not addiction, incarceration and despair. The government must move beyond announcements and demonstrate measurable results on the ground. hindustantimes.com/cities/ch… @PbGovtIndia @DGPPunjabPolice @PunjabPoliceInd @CMOPbIndia @htTweets @HindustanTimes

The 80th Independence Day should be more than a commemoration—it should reaffirm what freedom truly means. At Bharat Mandapam, I had the privilege of addressing over 4,000 young Indians, building on Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s inspiring call for a Nasha Mukt Yuva Bharat. Our youth must be free from addiction, fear, self-doubt and every vice that holds them back. A healthy, confident and purposeful generation is the foundation of a Viksit Bharat. Only when our youth are truly free in mind and spirit, can Bharat rise to its fullest potential. @gssjodhpur @KirenRijiju @tarunchughbjp @satnamsandhuchd @DrAshokKMittal @tiruchisiva @MikaSingh @wpoindia @sunfoundationIn #NashaMuktBharat #ViksitBharat #NashaMuktYuvaBharat #IndependenceDay

On the 80th Independence Day, I proudly hoisted the National Flag at my residence. Hoisting the Tiranga at our homes is not just a celebration—it is a duty and an expression of our love for the nation. Did you? “A flag becomes a symbol when a nation gives it its soul.” Our Tiranga carries the soul of India—the courage of our soldiers, the sacrifices of our freedom fighters, the values of our Constitution and the dreams of 140 crore Indians. Let every home become a symbol of our national pride. Join the #HarGharTiranga Abhiyan, hoist the Tiranga with pride and show the world: India is one. India is resolute. India is great! 🇮🇳

Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @NarendraModi ji, India’s resolve for a Nasha Mukt Yuva Bharat continues to grow stronger. It was a privilege to host a patriotic musical and cultural evening at Bharat Mandapam, bringing together 4,000+ youth to pledge against drug abuse. The electrifying performance by @MikaSingh turned entertainment into a force for social change, inspiring young minds to choose purpose over addiction. The evening was honoured by Union Ministers @gssjodhpur and @kirenrijiju ji, esteemed Members of Parliament, distinguished guests and the families of our brave Indian Army martyrs, who were honoured for their supreme sacrifice. Together, we reaffirm our resolve for a stronger, healthier and Viksit Bharat 2047. @tarunchughbjp @satnamsandhuchd @tiruchisiva @drashokkmittal @govindldholakia @wpoindia @sunfoundationIn

At Sun Foundation, we believe every elder deserves dignity, companionship and purpose. At Krishna Kutir, their creativity is transforming lives, restoring confidence and proving that age is never a barrier to contribution and joy.
At Krishna Kutir, Vrindavan, @sunfoundationIn is helping elderly women rediscover the joy of being engaged, creative and productive. Through Krishna poshaks, crochet, sewing and paper-bag making, their hands create products that are purchased by local vendors and used by pilgrims visiting Vrindavan. But the real value lies beyond the products — in the confidence, companionship and sense of purpose these activities bring to their lives. As India ages, let us ensure our elders have not just care, but dignity, connection and purpose. #SunFoundation #KrishnaKutir #Vrindavan #AgeingWithDignity #SeniorCare #Seva #SocialImpact

Sun Foundation proudly joins in celebrating National Handloom Day and salutes the extraordinary weavers and artisans of Punjab. Together, let us preserve the timeless legacy of Phulkari, empower local craftsmanship, and strengthen sustainable livelihoods for generations.
Every thread woven by hand carries a story. Every stitch preserves a tradition. On National Handloom Day, I proudly celebrate Punjab's timeless Phulkari—an exquisite art of hand embroidery where vibrant floral motifs are painstakingly embroidered onto handwoven fabric, reflecting generations of craftsmanship, culture and creativity. Today, let us rejoice in the dedication of our weavers and artisans, whose skilled hands keep India's rich handloom heritage alive. By choosing handloom, we honour not just a craft, but the countless hands, dreams and livelihoods woven into every creation. Let us preserve, promote and proudly wear our heritage. Happy National Handloom Day! #NationalHandloomDay #Phulkari #Punjab #Handloom #Handcrafted #IndianTextiles #VocalForLocal #Craftsmanship

The abrogation of Article 370 has transformed the destiny of Jammu & Kashmir, ushering in a new era of peace, development and opportunity. Over ₹80,000 crore worth of investments have flowed into the Union Territory, while more than 1.5 crore tourists visited Jammu & Kashmir last year, reflecting growing confidence, improved security and world-class connectivity. The economy has expanded to nearly ₹2.65 lakh crore, registering around 7% growth in 2024–25. Per capita income has been rising at an impressive 8.81% annually, driven by rapid progress in infrastructure, education, skilling and entrepreneurship. The New Jammu & Kashmir stands as a testament to the power of decisive leadership and inclusive development led by Hon'ble Prime Minister @NarendraModi ji where peace is paving the way for prosperity and a brighter future for Kashmir and Kashmiriyat. @AmitShah
