Meanwhile, PM Modi touched upon a range of issues, including corruption, women's safety, inflation, G20 summit, dynastic politics, Manipur issue and economy in his address to the nation.
While speaking on the education system, PM Modi said students in the new India are being taught modern technology.
"Children are getting education related to satellites in over 100 schools," he added.
He hailed girls students highlighting women's empowerment in India.
"Once a minister of a foreign country asked me whether girls in India study science, I proudly told her that in our country girls outsmarted boys in science and math. We have the most women pilots in the world," PM Modi recalled.
