    He made comparisons to other notable individuals and said, "If Einstein had been disappointed, humanity would never have discovered the glories of science. Without Sachin Tendulkar, cricket's greatness would never have been experienced by the public. People would not have seen this new India if Narendra Modi had been disappointed."
     
    The CM proclaimed, "Despair is our enemy; hope is our friend." He encouraged citizens to embrace positivity, underlining its role in driving progress and development.

    Emphasizing his long-lasting relationship with the students, he stated, "Even if some of you are now parents, every student is still and always will be my child. The growth and successes of every student at Jalukbari make me proud personally, just as a child's achievement makes its parents proud."
