During a candid discussion with Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates, PM Modi delved into topics ranging from AI to climate change, healthcare, and digital inclusion. He also shared insights on maintaining health and inner peace amidst busy schedules.
When Gates inquired about PM Modi remarkable energy levels despite his demanding workload, the Prime Minister attributed it to a sense of relaxation derived from spiritual practices taught by his teachers. Modi emphasized that his vigor stemmed from dedication and emotional commitment to his mission rather than physical strength alone.
Furthermore, PM Modi disclosed his adapted sleep patterns, attributing his resilience to a routine cultivated during his time in the Himalayas. He highlighted the conditioning effect of early morning bathing and minimal rest, which enabled him to feel refreshed despite minimal sleep.
Addressing Bill Gates’ curiosity about the global perception of vegetarian food with millet, Modi championed the promotion of millet for its health benefits. He cited the increasing production and availability of millet-based products, even in upscale establishments, as evidence of its growing popularity and economic benefits for small farmers.
Modi emphasized millet’s status as a superfood and highlighted its suitability for barren lands with minimal water requirements, a stance he championed during the UN’s 2023 Year of Millet celebration.
