During his address at the inaugural edition of the School of Ultimate Leadership (SOUL) Leadership Conclave 2025, he remarked that India's struggle for independence serves as a prime example of a collective objective, producing leaders not only in politics but across various fields.
Stressing the significance of a shared mission, PM Modi noted that it not only brings out the finest qualities in individuals but also amplifies their skills in alignment with broader goals.

Quoting a Sanskrit verse, he stressed that there is no word that cannot be transformed into a mantra, no herb that cannot serve as medicine, and no individual who is incapable, thereby underscoring the necessity for a planner to guide and utilize individuals.
Highlighting various levels of development—personal achievement through self-improvement, organizational progress through team development, and tremendous growth through leadership development—he asserted that these principles should continuously remind everyone of their responsibilities and contributions.
