After Vinayak, Prime Minister spoke to Usman Saifi from Amroha in Uttar Pradesh.
PM asked him if he was happy with his results to which he replied in affirmative. He then told PM that his favorite subject in school was Mathematics. Upon asking how he got interested in mathematics, Mr. Saifi told that his interest in mathematics is due to a teacher, Mr. Rajat, who taught mathematics very well.
Mr. Saifi said that mathematics is a subject which becomes more interesting with practice.
PM Modi then asked him about online Vedic Mathematics classes and said that perfecting Vedic Mathematics will help him calculate at the speed of computer. Mr. Saifi also told PM that he writes on current affairs topics in his spare time.
About his future plans, he told the PM that he has cleared JEE Main exam in first attempt and will appear for the second JEE Main in September. He wishes to get a Bachelor degree from IIT and then clear UPSC Civil Services to become an IAS.
Mathematics, his mischievous brother and writing make Usman happy.

All mathematics lovers like Usman should consider Vedic Maths classes…I am sure it would be a great learning experience. #MannKiBaat pic.twitter.com/JOY9bfPaXm
Prime Minister then spoke to Kaniga from Namakkal in Tamil Nadu. He asked Ms. Kaniga about how she prepared for the board exams. She said that she had been working hard since beginning. She expected 485 or 486 marks out of 500 and got 490 (98 per cent marks).
Ms. Kaniga too said that her favorite subject was Mathematics and plans to become a Doctor in AFMC. She informed the Prime Minister that her father is a driver and elder sister is studying in MBBS.
Youngsters like Kaniga and her sister personify the spirit of New India, where success is not merely determined by the family one is born in, the school/ college one studied, the big city one lives in.
