PM Modi suggests that students should actively study and scientifically verify the astronomical formulas mentioned in ancient Indian scriptures, using modern scientific methods and laws.

What role does he suggest for students?

  • He urges the “new generation” to come forward and scientifically prove the astronomical formulas found in Indian scriptures.
  • Students are encouraged to re-study these ancient theories , test them with present-day scientific tools, and see which concepts still hold up by modern standards.
  • He frames this as a “double responsibility” : preserving and understanding India’s heritage, while also contributing to contemporary science and research.
  • Modi also calls on school, college, and university students to explore this “buried treasure” of knowledge , do research on it, and share validated findings with the world.

In short, he wants students not just to admire ancient texts, but to treat them as hypotheses to be tested, refined, or even challenged through rigorous scientific study.
