Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated the students on their success in various examinations, and said he was "happy to see girl students shine".

"Congratulations to all candidates for their scores in examinations. Happy to see girl students shine," Modi said in his radio address 'Mann Ki Baat'.

He spoke about a student, Gaurav from Madhya Pradesh, who had scored 89 percent but his family was not happy as they wanted him to get 90 percent.

Modi in his message to Gaurav said: "I have read your letter and I am sure there are many like you out there."

"Why to find negativity from everything. It would be better if everyone around you had celebrated your scores," he added.
