"Rapid industrialisation of my state is possible if only the special status is accorded. This was a commitment made on the floor of the Parliament and was a pre-condition to the bifurcation," said Reddy.

Addressing the convocation of Visva Bharati, the country's oldest central university, Modi said knowledge was not a "still and static but a dynamic concept".

He is also the founder President of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) which was at the forefront of the movement for Statehood to Telangana.

At least 37 people, including 16 women, died after a bus fell off a bridge into a canal near Patna village in Sidhi district on Tuesday morning, police said.

He also unveiled through video conferencing programmes for beautification of Shravasti, Chittora Lake and Bahraich on the occasion. 

Prime Minister Modi also shared a toll-free number for people to record their message in either Hindi or English.

He also laid the foundation stone for the Discovery Campus of IIT Madras, which will be built at nearby Thaiyur at an estimated cost of Rs 1,000 crore.

Modi said it would be difficult for anyone to fill the shoes of Azad as he cared not only about his political affiliation but also about the country and the House.

Biden and Modi committed that the US and India will work closely together to win the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the farm sector and the ongoing protest, Modi said, "MSP was there. MSP is there. MSP will remain in the future. Affordable ration for the poor will continue. Mandis will be modernised".
