Modi Thanks Neeraj Chopra's Mother for Churma

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed heartfelt gratitude to Neeraj Chopra's mother, Saroj Devi, for sending him her homemade 'choorma'. In an emotional letter, he recounted how eating the delicacy reminded him of his own mother and provided him with strength ahead of the Navratri festival. Modi noted the significance of the timing, as he received the churma just before the nine-day fasting period of Navratri, during which he dedicates himself to service. He praised Saroj Devi's cooking, stating that it fuels Neeraj's success in athletics and would similarly empower him for the upcoming days of fasting. In conclusion, he assured her and the women of India of his commitment to realizing a developed and prosperous nation. This exchange highlights the cultural and emotional ties between food, family, and national pride.
