During the inauguration of the Sardardham Hostel complex in Vadodara, Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged schools and colleges across India to consider a temporary shift to online classes. This suggestion aims to mitigate the economic impact of the escalating Iran-US conflict and rising crude oil prices, which have raised concerns about inflation and energy security in India. Modi emphasized that adopting a Covid-19-style online learning model could help reduce fuel consumption and support national economic stability. He also encouraged businesses to implement work-from-home arrangements and conduct virtual meetings. In light of the global crisis, the Prime Minister called on citizens to conserve fuel by using public transport, carpooling, and reducing unnecessary consumption. He highlighted the importance of collective efforts from individuals, businesses, and institutions to navigate the economic challenges posed by the current geopolitical situation.
