NEW DELHI, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday met Nobel peace prize winner Kailash Satyarthi and congratulated him on his winning the prize.
During the meeting, Satyarthi expressed his "keenness" to contribute to Modi's projects to help poor children getting proper education, said Press Trust of India.
The prime minister shared his views with Satyarthi on the use of the social media and the Internet to track missing children, said the report. Modi mentioned that he had established a "Children University" in Gandhinagar, state capital of his home province Gujarat, and wished Satyarthi well in his future endeavors, according to the report.
After Satyarthi won the prize with Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai on Friday, Modi congratulated both of them.
"Congratulations to Kailash Satyarthi on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The entire nation is proud of his momentous achievement," he tweeted.
