    The students from India milled around Modi who was happy to click a selfie for them. The eager students crowded around Modi when he clicked the picture.
     
    "We were all trying to take the best selfie out there," Modi tweeted later. 
     
    India's foreign ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin tweeted: "The young usually want selfies. PM @narendramodi obliges."
