Bharat Mata Ki Jai! The Governor of Tripura Shri Satyadev Arya ji, Tripura’s young and energetic Chief Minister Shri Biplab Deb ji, Tripura’s Deputy Chief Minister Shri Jishnu Dev Varma ji, my Cabinet colleagues Sister Pratima Bhoumik ji and Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia ji, Ministers in the State Government Shri NC Debbarma ji, Shri Ratanlal Nath ji, Shri Pranjit Singha Roy ji and Shri Manoj Kanti Deb ji, other public representatives and my dear brothers and sisters who have come in large numbers! Greetings to you all. My best wishes to you all on the new year 2022! In the beginning of the year itself, Tripura is receiving three gifts today with the blessings of Maa Tripura Sundari. The first gift is connectivity, the second gift is ‘Mission 100 Vidyajyoti Schools’ and the third gift is ‘Tripura Gram Samridhi Yojana’. Today, projects worth hundreds of crores of Rupees have been inaugurated and foundation stones have been laid here. Heartiest congratulations to all of you for these three gifts! Friends, The India of the 21st century will move forward by taking everyone along, with everyone’s development and everyone’s efforts. If some states lag behind; if the people of some states yearn for basic facilities; then this inequitable development is not good for the development of the nation; it is not right. This is what the people of Tripura have seen and experienced here for decades. Earlier, the wheel of corruption did not stop moving here while the brakes were put on the vehicle of development. The government which was here earlier had neither the vision nor the intention of developing Tripura. Tripura was made to live in poverty and backwardness. To change this situation, I had assured HIRA to the people of Tripura. H for highway, I for Internet way, R for railways and A for Airways. Today, based on the HIRA Model, Tripura is improving and expanding its connectivity. Before coming here, I went to see the newly constructed terminal building and other facilities of Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport. The culture of Tripura, its heritage, its architecture, will be the first thing that every traveller will see at the airport. Be it the natural beauty of Tripura, the tribal art of the Unakoti Hills or the stone sculptures, the airport holds the essence of the entire Tripura. With the new facilities, the capacity of Maharaja Bir-Bikram Airport has increased three-fold. Now about a dozen aircraft can be parked here. This will go a long way in increasing the air connectivity of not only Tripura but also the entire North East. When the work for the domestic cargo terminal and the cold storage gets completed here, then the business and growth of the entire North East will get a fresh boost. Our Maharaja Bir-Bikram ji had given new heights to Tripura in the field of education and architecture. Today he would have been extremely delighted to see the development of Tripura as well as the efforts of the people here. Friends, Today, besides expanding the connectivity of Tripura, work for developing it as a gateway to the North East is also going on at a rapid pace. Be it road, rail, air or waterway connectivity, the massive investment that our government is making on modern infrastructure has never been made before. Now Tripura is becoming a new hub of trade and business in this region; a trade corridor is being developed. Dozens of road and railway projects and international waterway connectivity with Bangladesh have begun to reform this place. Our government is also trying to complete the Agartala-Akhaura rail link expeditiously. Brothers and sisters, When both the central and the State governments keep development as paramount, then the work progresses at double the speed. So the government of double engine has no match. Double engine government means proper use of resources, double engine government means full sensitivity, double engine government means developing people’s skills, double engine government means service and dedication. Government of double engine means accomplishment of resolutions. And, a double engine government means a concerted effort towards prosperity. The Mukhya Mantri Tripura Gram Samridhi Yojana, which is being launched here today, is an example of the same. Under this scheme, every house will have piped water connection; every poor person will have a pucca roof. A short while ago, I met some of the beneficiaries. I was trying to understand their personal experiences of the schemes. I met a daughter who has been allotted a house. But so far only the floor work has been done, the walls are still to be constructed. Yet she was so happy that tears would not stop rolling down from her eyes. This government is dedicated towards the happiness of the common man. And, every eligible family should have an Ayushman Yojana card. I found a family where both the mother and her young son were diagnosed with cancer. Due to the Ayushman Bharat scheme, the life of the mother and the son could be saved by the support of suitable funds. When every poor has an insurance cover, when every child has an opportunity to study, every farmer has a KCC card, every village has good roads, the confidence of the poor will increase, the life of the poor will become easier, every citizen of my country will be empowered, my poor citizens will be empowered. This confidence is the basis for prosperity. That is why I had said from the ramparts of Red Fort that now we have to reach every beneficiary of the schemes ourselves, we have to move towards the saturation of the schemes. I am glad that today Tripura has taken a major step in this direction. This year, when Tripura is completing 50 years of attaining statehood, this resolution is a great achievement in itself. Tripura is already one of the leading states of the country in taking the ongoing schemes for the welfare of the village and the poor to the people. Gram Samridhi Yojana will further improve this record of Tripura. It will also be ensured that every village and every poor family gets more than 20 basic facilities. I also liked the idea that the villages that achieve 100% targets before the scheduled time, will also be given an incentive amount of lakhs of rupees. This will also develop a healthy competition for development. Friends, The government of Tripura today understands the plight of the poor and is sensitive towards the poor. Our media friends don’t talk about this enough, so I want to share an example today. When the work for PM Awas Yojana (Rural) started in Tripura, a problem regarding the official definition of a kutcha house had cropped up. The previous government had made a system under which the houses with roofs made of iron sheet, will not be considered as a kutcha house. That is, even if the facilities inside the house were dilapidated, or the walls were of mud, the house was not considered as a kutcha house because of the iron sheet on the roof. Because of this, thousands of rural families of Tripura were deprived of the benefits of PM Awas Yojana. I would appreciate my colleague Biplab Deb ji because he came to me with this issue. He placed everything before the central government with evidence. After this, the Government of India also changed its rules, changed the definition. And due to this, more than 1 lakh 80 thousand poor families of Tripura became entitled to pucca houses. So far, more than 50 thousand friends of Tripura have received pucca houses. Recently, the first instalment has also been released to more than one and a half lakh families to build their homes. You can guess how the earlier government used to work and how our double engine government is working. Brothers and sisters, For the development of any region, along with the resources, the skills & ability of the citizens are equally important. The need of the hour is to ensure that our present and future generations should become more capable than us. It is imperative. New National Education Policy is being implemented in the country so that visionary youngsters are produced who can build a modern India of the 21st century. There is an equal emphasis on learning in the local language. Now the students of Tripura will also get help from the ‘Mission-100, Vidya Jyoti’ campaign. Modern facilities in schools to be built with hundreds of crores of rupees will make education more easy and accessible. Particularly, the way schools are being equipped with Atal Tinkering Labs, ICT labs and Vocational Labs, it will prepare the youth of Tripura for a self-reliant India with innovations, start ups, and unicorns. Friends, Even in this difficult period of Corona, many efforts have been made to ensure that our youth do not suffer in terms of education. From tomorrow, a campaign for free immunisation of adolescents in the age group of 15 years to 18 years has also been started across the country. It is very important for students to be able to pursue their studies with ease, to be able to sit for their exams without any worries. Vaccination campaign is going on in Tripura at a rapid pace. More than 80 per cent of people have got the first dose and more than 65 percent have got the second dose. I am sure that Tripura will achieve the target of completing immunization of youth between 15 and 18 years of age. Friends, Today the government of double engine is making efforts for complete and sustainable development both in villages and cities. The work being done in all areas from agriculture to forest produce and self-help groups is also a testament to our commitment. Be it small farmers, women or our tribal companions dependent on forest produce, today they are being organized and turned into a huge force. Tripura has launched a packaged product called ‘Muli Bamboo Cookies’ for the first time and the credit goes to our mothers and sisters of Tripura who have played a major role in it. Tripura can also play an important role in giving the country an alternative to single-use plastic. A huge market is being created in the country for bamboo brooms, bamboo bottles that are made here. Due to this, thousands are getting employment, self-employment in the manufacturing sector of bamboo products. Tripura has got a lot of benefit from the reforms in the laws related to bamboo. Friends, A commendable work is also being carried out here in Tripura regarding organic farming. Be it pineapple, fragrant rice, ginger, turmeric, chilli, it has become a huge market for the farmers in the country and the world today. Today, the small farmers of Tripura are transporting this produce by Kisan rail from Agartala to various cities of the country including Delhi at a low transport cost in lesser time. The big cargo centre being built at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport will make it easier for organic agricultural products to reach foreign markets as well. Friends, We have to maintain the habit of Tripura being a leader in every field of development. We are committed to our resolve that the common man of the country, the person living in the remotest corner of the country, should become a partner in the economic development of the country and become empowered and self reliant. Seeking inspiration from these resolutions, we will engage in work with double confidence. Your love, your affection and your trust is our greatest asset. And today I could see everyone on the way and hear their enthusiastic voices while coming from the airport. I will return this love of yours by doubling the development with the power of the double engine and I am sure, the love and affection that the people of Tripura have showered on us will continue to be received in the future as well. Once again I congratulate you all for these development schemes. I pray to mother Tripura sundari for your family’s prosperity and your state’s all round development. Thanks to all! Jotauno Hambai.

The increase has been done on account of the severe disruptions caused by COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality and related enterprises. Implementation schedule: ECLGS is a continuing scheme. The additional amount of Rs. 50,000 crore would be made applicable to enterprises in hospitality and related sectors till validity of the scheme which is 31.3.2023. Impact: ECLGS is an already operational scheme and on account of the disruptions caused by the COVID 19 pandemic on hospitality and related sectors, Government has specifically earmarked an amount of Rs. 50,000 crore for enterprises in these sectors. The enhancement is expected to provide much needed relief to enterprises in these sectors by incentivizing lending institutions to provide additional credit of up to Rs. 50,000 crore at low cost, thereby enabling these business enterprises to meet their operational liabilities and continue their businesses. Loans of about Rs. 3.67 Lakh crore have been sanctioned under ECLGS till 5.8.2022. Background: The ongoing pandemic has adversely impacted contact-intensive sectors, especially the hospitality and related sectors more severely. While other sectors were back faster on the path of recovery, demand continued to be subdued for these sectors for longer period, suggesting the need for suitable interventions for their sustenance and recovery. Further, given their high employment intensity and their direct and indirect linkages with other sectors, their revival is also necessary for supporting overall economic recovery. Recognising this, in Union Budget 2022-23, it was announced to extend validity of ECLGS upto March, 2023 and increase in the limit of guaranteed cover of ECLGS by Rs. 50,000 crore to total cover of Rs. 5 Lakh core, with the additional amount being earmarked exclusively for the enterprises in hospitality and related sectors. With high immunization levels, progressive roll-back of restrictions and overall economic recovery, conditions are in place for sustained growth in demand for these sectors as well. This additional guarantee cover is expected to support the recovery of these sectors as well.

The Institute will have the governance structure as well as legal mandate to grant degrees in a manner similar to that enjoyed by IITs. A separate Act will also impart the required status to the Institute to become a “Centre of Excellence” in petroleum and energy studies. The Cabinet has also approved Rs 655.46 crore as capital expenditure to set up IIPE and contribution of Rs 200 crore towards its Endowment Fund (in addition to a contribution of Rs 200 crore from Oil Companies towards the Endowment Fund). As committed under the 13 Schedule of Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, 2014, it has been decided to set up this Institute. The objective is to meet the quantitative and qualitative gap in the supply of skilled manpower for the petroleum sector and to promote research activities needed for the growth of the sector. The academic and research activities of IIPE will derive strength from the Institute’s proximity to sector-related activities such as KG-Basin, Visakhapatnam refinery and the planned Petrochemical complex at Kakinada.

The Prime Minister began his address by recalling the time when he got the opportunity to visit Andhra Pradesh on the 125th birth anniversary of Viplav Veerudu Alluru Sitaramraju. The Prime Minister remarked that Visakhapatnam is a very special city with an extremely rich tradition of trade and business. He pointed out that Visakhapatnam being an important port in ancient India was part of the trade route to West Asia and Rome thousands of years ago, and it still remains the central point of India’s trade in today’s day and age. The Prime Minister said that the projects worth Rs 10,500 crores that are being dedicated and whose foundation stones are laid today will serve as a medium to achieve the hopes and aspirations of Visakhapatnam and Andhra Pradesh by opening up new dimensions in infrastructure, ease of living and Atmanirbhar Bharat. The Prime Minister also made a special mention of the Ex-Vice President of India, Shri M Venkaiaha Naidu and said that his love and dedication toward Andhra Pradesh remain unparalleled. Be it education or entrepreneurship, technology or medical profession, the Prime Minister said that the people of Andhra Pradesh have made a prominent name for themselves in every field. He further added that this recognition is not only a result of professional qualities but also the outgoing and jovial nature of the people of Andhra Pradesh. The Prime Minister expressed delight at the projects that are being dedicated and whose foundation stones are laid today and said that it will further the pace of development in the state. “In this Amrit Kaal”, the Prime Minister said, “the country is moving forward rapidly on the path of development with the objective of a developed India.” Remarking that the path to development is multidimensional, the Prime Minister said that it focuses on the needs and necessities of the common citizen and presents a roadmap for advanced infrastructure. He highlighted the government’s vision of inclusive growth. The Prime Minister lamented the isolated approach to infrastructure development by the previous governments which resulted in higher logistics expenses and created a dent in the supply chain. He informed that the government adopted a new approach to infrastructure development as supply chain and logistics depend on multi-modal connectivity while focussing on an integrated view of development. Giving an example of the integrated view of development from today’s projects, the Prime Minister listed out the 6-lane roads in the proposed economic corridor project, a separate road for port connectivity, the beautification of Visakhapatnam railway station and the construction of the state-of-the-art fishing harbour. The Prime Minister credited this integrated view of development to PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan and remarked that it has not only accelerated the pace of infrastructure construction but has also reduced the cost of projects. “Multi-modal transport system is the future of every city and Visakhapatnam has taken a step in this direction”, he added. He said that Andhra Pradesh and its coastal regions will move ahead in this race of development with new momentum and energy. The Prime Minister referred to the troubled global climate and touched upon the supply chain disruption for critical products and energy needs. However, the Prime Minister said, India wrote a new chapter of development in these difficult times. The world has acknowledged this as experts are praising India’s achievements and “India has become the centre of hope for the entire world”, he said. This is made possible only because of the fact that “India is working while keeping the aspiration and needs of its citizens. Every policy and decision is for making the life of the common citizen better.” The Prime Minister referred to the PLI scheme, GST, IBC, and National Infrastructure pipeline as the cause of increased investment in India. At the same time, he said, schemes for the welfare of the poor are being expanded. “Today in this journey of development, the areas that were earlier marginalised. Have also been included. Even in the most backward districts development schemes are being run through the Aspirational Districts Program”, he said. The Prime Minister also listed many steps like free ration to people for the last two and half years, 6 thousand rupees every year in the account of every farmer, and easing of drone, gaming and start-up related rules. Emphasising the importance of clear goals, the Prime Minister gave the example of the extraction of deep water energy through modern technology in Andhra Pradesh. He also underlined the government’s focus on the Blue Economy. “Blue economy has become such a big priority for the first time”, he added. He mentioned measures like Kisan Credit Cards for fishermen and the modernisation of Visakhapatnam fishing harbour that started today. The Prime Minister highlighted that for centuries, the sea has been a source of prosperity for India and our seashores have acted as a gateway to this prosperity. He emphasised that the projects worth thousands of crores which are going on for port lead development in the country will get a further expansion after today. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister said, “The India of the 21st century is bringing the holistic thought of development to the ground.” He expressed the belief that Andhra Pradesh will continue to play a pivotal role in this development drive of the country. Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri Y S R Jagan Reddy, Governor of Andhra Pradesh, Shri Biswa Bhushan Harichandan, Union Minister Ashvini Vaishnaw, Members of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Council of Andhra Pradesh were those present on occasion. Background The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Visakhapatnam Railway Station, to be done at a cost of around Rs 450 crores. The redeveloped station would cater to 75,000 passengers per day and will improve the passenger experience by providing modern amenities. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for the modernisation and upgradation of Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbour. The total cost of the project is around Rs. 150 crores. The fishing harbour, after its upgradation and modernisation, will double the handling capacity from 150 Tons per day to about 300 tons per day, provide safe landing and berthing and other modern infrastructure facilities reduce turnaround time in the jetty, reduce wastage and help improve price realisation. He also laid the foundation stone of Andhra Pradesh section of the six-lane Greenfield Raipur- Visakhapatnam Economic Corridor. It will be built at a cost of more than Rs 3750 crore. The Economic Corridor will provide faster connectivity between the Industrial Nodes of Chhattisgarh & Odisha to Visakhapatnam Port & Chennai – Kolkata National Highway. It will also improve connectivity to tribal and backward areas of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of a dedicated Port Road from Convent Junction to Sheela Nagar Junction in Visakhapatnam. It will ease traffic congestion in Visakhapatnam City by segregating local and port-bound goods traffic. He also dedicated to the nation, Narasannapeta to Pathapatnam section of NH-326A built at a cost of more than Rs 200 crore as a part of the Srikakulam-Gajapati Corridor. The project would provide better connectivity in the region. The Prime Minister dedicated to the nation, the U-field Onshore Deepwater block project of ONGC in Andhra Pradesh, developed at a cost of more than Rs. 2900 crores.

Self-reliant India is the basic form of complete freedom, where we will not depend on anyone” “If you are looking for challenges, you are the hunter and the challenge is the hunted.” “When it comes to sharing of joy and kindness, do not keep any password and enjoy the life with an open heart” Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi attended the 54th Convocation Ceremony of IIT Kanpur today and issued digital degrees through in-house blockchain-driven technology. Addressing the students and faculty of the Institute, the Prime Minister said today is a great day for Kanpur as the city is getting a Metro facility and also, in the form of the passing out students, Kanpur is giving the world a precious gift. Speaking on the journey of the students in the prestigious institution, the Prime Minister said, between the admission and passing out from IIT Kanpur “you must be feeling a huge change in yourself. Before coming here there must have been a fear of Unknown or query of Unknown. Now there is no fear of the unknown, now you have the courage to explore the whole world. Now query of unknown is no longer there, Now it quests for the best and dream to dominate the whole world”, he said Mentioning the historical and social legacy of Kanpur, the Prime Minister said, Kanpur is one of the few cities in India that is so diverse. “From Satti Chaura Ghat to Madari Pasi, From Nana Saheb to Batukeshwar Dutt, When we visit this city, it seems as if we are travelling to that glorious past and touching the glory of the sacrifices of the freedom struggle”, the Prime Minister reminisced. The Prime Minister pointed out the importance of the current stage of the life of the passing students. He elaborated by taking the time period of the 1930s. “Those who were young men of 20-25 years at that time must have had quite a journey till 1947, the achievement of independence. That was the golden phase of their lives. Today you are also stepping into the same kind of Golden Era. Just like this is the Amrit Kaal of the nation, in the same way, it is the Amrit Kaal of your life”, he said. Remarking on the achievements of Kanpur IIT, the Prime Minister elaborated on the possibilities that the current technology scenario gives to the professionals today. Indicating the scope of the areas like AI, energy,, climate solutions, technology in health solutions and disaster management, the Prime Minister said “these are not just your responsibilities but are the dreams of many generations which you have the good fortune to fulfill. This time period is for deciding on ambitious goals and pushing with all your might to achieve them.” The Prime Minister stressed that the 21st century is completely technology-driven. Even in this decade, technology is going to increase its dominance in different fields. Life without technology would now be incomplete in a way. He wished the students that they would definitely come out ahead in this age of competition of life and technology. The Prime Minister communicated his reading of the national mood to the students. He said “today, the thinking and attitude of the country is the same as yours. Earlier, if the thinking was that of perfunctory work, then today the thinking is action and result oriented. Earlier, if there was an attempt to get away from the problems, then today resolutions are taken to solve the problems.” The Prime Minister lamented the lost time that should have been utilised for nation-building since the 25th anniversary of Independence. “When the country’s independence completed 25 years, by then we should have done a lot to stand on our feet. Since then it is too late, the country has lost a lot of time. In between, 2 generations have passed. so we don’t have to lose even 2 moments”, he said. The Prime Minister said if he is sounding impatient, that is because he wants the passing out students “to become impatient for a self-reliant India in the same way. Self-reliant India is the basic form of complete freedom, where we will not depend on anyone.” Swami Vivekananda had said – Every nation has a message to deliver, a mission to fulfill, a destiny to reach. If we will not be self-reliant, then how will our country fulfill its goals, how will it reach its destination, The Prime Minister quoted. The Prime Minister said that with initiatives like Atal Innovation Mission, PM Research Fellowships and National Education Policy, a new temperament and new opportunities are being created. Results of improved ease of doing business and removal of policy blockages are visible clearly. The Prime Minister remarked that in this 75th year of independence India has more than 75 unicorns, more than 50,000 start-ups. Of these, 10,000 have come only in the last 6 months. Today India has emerged as the second-largest startup hub in the world. Many startups have been started by the youth from IITs. The Prime Minister conveyed his desire for the students to contribute to the global standing of the country. He said “which Indian would not want Indian companies and Indian products to become global. One who knows IITs, knows the talent here, knows the hard work of the professors here, believes this IIT’s youth will definitely do it.” The Prime Minister advised the students not to choose comfort over challenge. Because, the Prime Minister said, “whether you want it or not, there are bound to be challenges in life. Those who run away from them become their victims.But if you are looking for challenges, you are the hunter and the challenge is the hunted.” Striking a personal note, the Prime Minister advised the students to keep sensitivity, curiosity, imagination and creativity alive in them and asked them to be sensitive to the non tech aspects of life. He said “when it comes to sharing of joy and kindness, do not keep any password and enjoy the life with an open heart”",আইআইটি কানপুৰৰ ৫৪সংখ্যক সমাৱর্তন অনুষ্ঠানত অংশগ্ৰহণ কৰি প্রধানমন্ত্রীয়ে ব্লকচেন-ভিত্তিক ডিগ্রী প্রদান ব্যৱস্থাৰ শুভাৰম্ভ কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-the-first-global-innovation-summit-of-the-pharmaceuticals-sector/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%94%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%A7-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%87/,"“The global trust earned by the Indian healthcare sector has led to India being called the “pharmacy of the world” in recent times” “We believe in the well-being of the entire humankind.

Today the Government of Goa has taken a vital step towards providing employment to the youth. Several youngsters will be given appointment letters today in various departments of the Government of Goa. My heartiest congratulations to all the youth and their parents for receiving these appointment letters. I have been told that in the coming few months there will be recruitment in other departments including Goa Police. This will further strengthen the Goa Police force and this will ensure better security of citizens, especially the tourists. Friends, For the last few weeks, ‘Rozgar Melas’ are being organized one after another in different states of the country. The Central Government is also providing jobs to thousands of youngsters every month in the central government departments through the ‘Rozgar Melas’. I am glad that the states where the BJP-ruled governments, that is, the double engine governments are there, are organizing such ‘Rozgar Melas’. Friends, In the last 8 years, the Central Government has invested thousands of crores of rupees for the development of Goa. The new airport built at Mopa at a cost of about Rs 3000 crore is also going to be inaugurated soon. Thousands of people of Goa have got jobs in the fields related to the construction of this airport. Similarly, the connectivity projects and infrastructure projects that are going on in Goa today have also provided employment opportunities to the youth of Goa. The vision of ‘Swayampurna Goa’ is to improve the basic amenities in Goa as well as improve the infrastructure in the state. Through the Goa Tourism Master Plan and Policy, the state government has also formulated a new blueprint for the development of Goa. As a result, new possibilities have been created for investment in the tourism sector and for increasing employment opportunities substantially. Friends, Steps are also being taken to strengthen the rural economy of Goa and to increase employment opportunities in traditional farming. Farmers producing paddy, coconut, jute, spices and engaged in fruit processing, are being connected to the Self-Help Groups. All these efforts are creating many new opportunities for employment and self-employment in Goa. Friends, Today, I would like to say one more thing to the youth who have got appointment letters in Goa. The most crucial 25 years of your lives are going to begin now.

A while ago, I had a chance to have an indirect dialogue, with young friends from Karnataka. The Times Group Newspaper “Vijaya Karnataka” started a new initiative urging the children to write a letter to the Prime Minister of the country. And, then they published some selected letters. I read those letters and liked the initiative. Even these little children are conversant with problems confronting the nation; aware of the deliberations going on in the country. Kirti Hegde from North Kannada had appreciated Digital India and Smart City schemes and she put forth a suggestion that we need to transform our education system and said that the present-day children do not like classroom reading, they love to know more and more about nature. And if we impart knowledge about nature to our children then in future they may prove very useful in protecting the environment. A child Reeda Nadaf from Laxmeshwara has written that she is the daughter of an army man and feels proud of being so. Which Indian would not be proud of our soldiers? And, you being a soldier’ daughter should naturally take pride in that. Irfana Begum from Kalburgi has written that her school is 5 Kilometres away from her village and she has to start early in the morning and it gets quite late in the evening by the time she returns home. She says that as such she does not find time to spend with her friends and has suggested that there should be a school nearby. But, my countrymen, I liked this initiative taken by a newspaper that helped these letters reach me and I got an opportunity to go through these. This was a very good experience for me. My dear countrymen, today is 26/11. The 26th of November is our Constitution Day. The Constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on this day in the year nineteen forty-nine. Our constitution was implemented on the 26th of January, 1950 which we celebrate as our Republic Day. The Constitution of India is the spirit of our democracy. This is the day to remember the members of the Constituent Assembly. They all worked hard for about three years to draft the Constitution. And, whoever reads that debate will feel proud about what actually the vision of a life dedicated to the nation is. Can you imagine how hard their task would have been to frame the Constitution of our country which has such big diversities? They must have shown a great sense of understanding and farsightedness and that too at a juncture when the country was getting rid of the bondage of slavery. Now, this is the responsibility of all of us to make a New India in the light of the thinking of the makers of our Constitution. Our Constitution is all encompassing. There probably is no area, no aspect of nature which remained untouched. Equality for all and sensitivity towards all is the unique characteristic of our Constitution. It guarantees fundamental rights to each & every citizen, whether underprivileged or oppressed, backward or deprived, a tribal or a woman. It protects their fundamental rights and safeguards their interests. It is our duty that we abide by our Constitution in letter and spirit. Citizens and administrators alike must move ahead in accordance with the spirit of our Constitution. The message that our Constitution conveys is that no one should be harmed in any way. It is but natural to remember Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar on the Constitution Day today. Seventeen separate committees were constituted by the Constituent Assembly on various important issues. One of most significant of these was the drafting committee and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the Chairman of this drafting committee. He was playing a pivotal role in it. The Constitution of India, which we feel so very proud of, bears an indelible stamp of his able leadership. He ensured the welfare of every section of society. We remember him and bow before him on his Mahaparinirvan Diwas on 6th of December. Babasaheb’s contribution in making the country prosperous and strong can never be forgotten. 15th of December is the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel. Sardar Patel rose from being a farmer’s son to be known as the Iron Man of the country, undertaking the extraordinary task of uniting India into one nation. Sardar Saheb was also a member of the constituent Assembly. He was also the Chairman of the Advisory Committee on fundamental rights, minorities and tribals. 26/11 is our Constitution Day but how can the nation forget that on this very day nine years ago, terrorists had launched an attack on Mumbai. The country remembers and bows to those brave citizens, policemen, security men and each one who lost their lives then. This country can never forget their sacrifice. Terrorism has taken an ugly shape and has become a global threat almost as a daily routine. We, in India, are facing to lot for the last 40 years on account of terrorism. Thousands of our innocent people have lost their lives. But, a few years ago, when India used to talk about the severe threats of terrorism many people in the world were not ready to take it seriously, Now that, terrorism is knocking at their doors, every Government in the world, those who believe in humanity, Governments having faith in democracy are seeing this as one of the biggest challenges. Terrorism has threatened humanity across the globe. Terrorism has challenged humanity. It is bent upon destroying the humanitarian forces. So, not only India but all humanitarian forces will have to keep fighting unitedly to defeat the menace of terrorism. Lord Budha, Lord Mahavir, Guru Nanak, Mahatma Gandhi – this is the land which gave the message of love and non-violence to the world. Terrorism and extremism are trying to weaken and destroy our social fabric. That is why, the need of the hour is that humanitarian forces should become more alert and cautious. My dear countrymen, we shall observe Navy Day on the 4th of December. Indian Navy secures and protects our maritime boundaries. I congratulate all those who belong to the Navy. All of you must be knowing that our civilization developed along river banks. Be it the Indus, the Ganges, the Yamuna or the Saraswati – our rivers and seas are both economically and strategically important. These are our gateway to the whole world. This country, our land has an unbreakable bond with oceans. And as we peep into our history, we come to know that about 800 to 900 (eight to nine hundred) years ago, during the rule of the Cholas, the Chola Navy was considered one of the strongest navies. This navy had a big role in the expansion of the Chola-rule and in making it an economic super power. Numerous references of voyages and expeditions of the Chola-Navy are found even today in “Sangam – literature”. Very few people might be aware that most navies of the world allowed women on their warships pretty later. But in the Chola Navy, a large number of women played leading roles and that too about eight to nine hundred years ago; to the extent that women actively took part in battles. The Chola rulers possessed a very rich and sound knowledge of ship building. When we talk of navy, who can ignore Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the capabilities & might of his navy. Konkan coast, where the sea has a significant role, was under Shivaji Maharaj’s realm. Many forts associated with Shivaji Maharaj like Sindhu Durg, Murud Janjira, Swarn Durg, etc were either situated on the sea coast or were encircled by sea. The security of these forts was the responsibility of the Maratha Navy. There was a combination of large ships and small boats in the Maratha Navy. His naval forces were very efficient and skilled in attacking the enemy and in defending their attacks. And how can we refer to the Maratha Navy and not remember Kanhoji Aangre! He took the Maratha Navy to newer heights and established Maratha Naval Bases at a number of places. After Independence, our Indian Navy showed its valour on various occasions; be it the liberation struggle of Goa or the Indo-Pak war. When we talk of the Navy, we see only war but the Indian Navy has come forward in humanitarian ventures as well. In June this year when Cyclone Mora hit Bangladesh and Myanmar, our naval ship INS SUMITRA rendered a big help in rescue operations; many fishermen were rescued from the sea and handed over to Bangladesh. In May-June this year when there was a severe flood in Sri Lanka, three ships of our navy reached there immediately and helped the government and the people there. In September, during the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh, our naval ship INS GHADIYAL delivered humanitarian assistance there. The Government of Papua New Guinea sent an SOS-message to us in June and our navy rendered help in saving the fishermen of a fishing boat. On 21st November, during an incident of piracy in a merchant vessel in the Western Gulf, our naval ship INS TRIKAND reached there to help them. Carrying medical services to FIJI, sending urgent relief, or delivering humanitarian aid during crisis to a neighbouring country – our navy has always rendered glorious service. We Indians, always nurture a feeling of pride and respect towards our security forces- be it the army, the navy or the air force and every countryman salutes the courage, bravery, valour, chivalry and sacrifice of our soldiers. They sacrifice their youth for the country so that 125 crore countrymen may live in peace. We observe ARMED FORCES FLAG DAY every year on 7th December. This is a day to feel proud of and show respect to our country’s armed forces. I am happy that the Ministry of Defence has decided to run a campaign from December 1 to December 7 during which they will reach out to the people of the country to disseminate information about our ARMED FORCES and to make them aware. Throughout the week every one, old or young, should wear the flag. A movement to instill respect for our forces will come into being in the country. We can distribute ARMED FORCES FLAGS on this occasion. Experiences and acts of valour of those from the armed forces who are our neighbours or acquaintances and related videos and pictures can be posted on hash-tag armed forces flag day (#armedforcesflagday). People from the forces could be invited to schools and colleges to share information about the forces. Our new generation can get a good opportunity to get information about the forces. This is also an occasion to collect funds for the welfare of the jawans of our armed forces. This amount is spent through the Sainik Kalyan Board on the dependents of those who lost their lives and also for those who got injured during wars, for their rehabilitation. More information about sending in monetary contributions can be had on kbs.gov.in. You can also make cashless payment for this. Come, let us do something on this occasion which may raise the morale of our armed forces. We should also contribute towards their welfare. My dear countrymen, World Soil Day is on the 5th of December. I want to tell something to my farmer brothers and sisters. An important component of the Earth is “soil”. Whatever we eat is linked only to this soil. In a way, the complete food chain is connected to soil. Just imagine, what will happen if there is no fertile soil in the world? The very thought is dreadful. There will be no soil, no plants and trees will grow; how will human life be possible? How will animals and birds survive? This concern was touched upon a long time ago in our culture and that is why we are aware of the significance of soil since ancient times. In our culture, there has been efforts to foster a feeling of devotion and gratitude towards our farms, our soil among the people and at the same time scientific farming methods and techniques have been adopted which provide nutrients to the soil. In the life of the farmer of this country both aspects have been important- reverence to his soil and preserving & nurturing it scientifically. We all feel proud of the fact that the farmers of our country are rooted to traditions and also take interest in modern science, they keep trying and resolve. I had heard about the farmers, of Tohoo village in Bhoranj block of Hamirpur district in Himachal Pradesh. Farmers here were earlier using chemical fertilizers indiscriminately which deteriorated the soil-health. Produce reduced which resulted in lower income and gradually the productivity of the soil also was going down. Some enlightened and alert farmers in the village noticed and understood the gravity of the situation, and after that got their soil tested on time and followed the advice about the quantity of fertilizers, micro-nutrients and organic fertilizers to be used. And, you will be surprised to know about the results achieved after the farmers received the information and guidelines about soil health. In the Rabi season of 2016-17, wheat production per acre increased three to four times and their income also increased by four to six thousand rupees per acre. Besides, the soil quality also improved. Cut in fertilizer usage resulted in monetary saving. I am very glad to see that my farmer brothers have come forward to implement the suggestions made in the soil health card and as better results are showing, they are getting more and more inspired. And, now the farmer also realizes that proper soil care is needed if production is to be increased and that if we take care of our soil, it will also care for all of us. Our farmers across the country have got more than 10 crore soil health cards made so that they may understand their soil better and accordingly sow the crop. We worship mother Earth but have we ever thought as to how much damage is caused to the health of our mother- Earth because of the usage of fertilizers like Urea? This has been proved by all scientific methods that a serious damage is caused because of an excessive use of urea. The Farmer is the son of the soil, how can a farmer see the mother Earth falling sick? The need of the hour is to revive the mother-son relationship. Can our farmers, the sons of our soil make a resolve that by the year 2022, when we complete 75 year of our independence, they will cut down the urea usage to half of what is being used presently? If this son of the soil, my farmer brother once make this resolve then we will see the health of mother Earth improve and production will increase. A transformation shall start to usher into the life of the farmer. All of us are experiencing Global warming, climate change now. There was a time when winter would set in even before Diwali. And now, December is knocking on our doors, yet winter is advancing at a leisurely pace. But the moment winter sets in, we all have experienced that we don’t like coming out of our quilts one bit. Despite such inclement weather there are some extraordinarily aware people who deliver results that are exemplary and inspiring for all of us. You will be amazed to learn that Tushar, an eight year old differently – abled, divyang lad from Madhya Pradesh had taken a firm resolve to make his village Open defecation free. It was a young boy vis-à-vis an enormous task at hand. But his grit and determination were exponentially greater and mightier. The eight year old is speech impaired, but he used a whistle as an armament. He would wake up at 5 in the morning, visit households one by one, awaken them and used gesticulations to wean them away from Open defecation. Covering 30 to 40 homes everyday, spreading the message of cleanliness, this boy transformed the village into Open defecation free. Promoting the virtues of cleanliness, this little lad has done inspiring work. This proves that cleanliness suffers from no barriers of age; there are no boundaries. A child or an elderly person, a woman or a man, everyone needs cleanliness. And everyone should contribute towards the cause of cleanliness. Our Divyang brothers and sisters are firm in their resolve; they are competent, capable, courageous and determined. We get to learn something or the other every moment. They are performing well in every walk of life. Whether it be the field of sports, any kind of competition or a social initiative, our Divyang brethren are second to none. You must be aware that our Divyang sportspersons won 4 medals in the Rio Olympics through their stellar performances. They also emerged champions in the T-20 Cricket World Cup for the Visually Challenged. Myriad competitions take place all over the country. Recently, the 17th National Para-Swimming Competition was held in Udaipur. Divyang brothers & sisters from different parts of the country participated & displayed their stellar skills. One of them happens to be 19 year old Jigar Thakkar from Gujarat, whose body suffers from 80% muscle atrophy. Just look at his fortitude, resolve & perseverance. Despite his 80% muscle atrophy, the 19 year old Jigar Thakkar won 11 medals in the National Para Swimming Competition. It is on account of this feat that he has been chosen as one of the 32 Para Swimmers for the 20-20 Paralympics by the Sports Authority of India. They will be imparted training at the Centre for excellence at Gandhinagar in Gujarat. I salute the spirit of the young Jigar Thakkar & wish him the best. These days special emphasis is being laid on accessibilities & opportunities for persons with disabilities, our Divyang brethren. Our endeavour is to ensure that each & every person in the country is empowered. Let the essence of ‘Sama’ & ‘Mama’, that is a confluence of collective & the individual, foster a sense of syncretic harmony in our society; let us move forward with each other, together. A few days from now, the pious occasion of Id-e-milad-un-nabi will be observed. Paighambar Hazrat Mohammad Sahab was born on this day. I extend best wishes to all countrymen. And I hope that this holy occasion of Id gives us new inspiration, fresh energy and the strength to resolve anew, to foster peace & communal amity. (Phone call) ‘Hello Mr. Prime Minister, I am Neerja Singh calling from Kanpur. I request you that out of the entire gamut of your thoughts reflected during the programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’ throughout the year, if you could share ten of your best thoughts, so that we all remember these opinions and we get to learn something from them. Thank you (End of phone call) You are quite right that 2017 is near completion, and the year 2018 is knocking on the door. And you have given some sound advice. But continuing from your point of view I feel like adding something more to it and modifying it a bit. And as in our villages, our elders, the old people of the village are always reminding us – forget the sorrow but also do not forget the joy. You too forget your sorrow and also do not forget the joy. I think we should propagate this wisdom. We must usher in the auspicious in 2018, enter the New Year with the resolution of the auspicious We know that in our part of the world, and probably all around the world around the ending of the year we take a stock, contemplate, and draw plans for the next year. In our media many interesting events of the year gone by are broadcast again to reflect on the previous year. The previous year is both a mixture of both positive and negative memories. But don’t you think that we should enter into the year 2018, remembering the positive events, to do some good?

The Coaching terminal will also have a MEMU shed and will decongest the existing Mysuru Yard, facilitating the running of more MEMU train services and long-distance trains from Mysuru, improving both connectivity and tourism potential of the region. This will benefit the daily commuters as well as those travelling to long-distance destinations. During the programme, the Prime Minister also dedicated to the nation the ‘Centre of Excellence for persons with communication disorders’ at the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH). It is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities for the diagnosis, assessment and rehabilitation of persons with communication disorders. Governor of Karnataka, Shri Thawar Chand Gehlot, Chief Minister Shri Basavaraj Bommai, and Union Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said Karnataka is a state where both the economic and spiritual prosperity of the country are seen together. “Karnataka is a perfect example of how we can realize the resolutions of the 21st century by enriching our ancient culture”, he said. This land, said the Prime Minister, has given many great personalities like Nalwadi Krishna Wodeyar, Sir M Visvesvaraya, and Rashtrakavi Kuvempu to the country. Such personalities have contributed significantly to India’s heritage and development. The Prime Minister said that the ‘Double Engine’ Government is working with full energy to connect common people with a life of basic amenities and dignity and taking forward the vision of these great personalities. The Prime Minister recalled that earlier efforts for welfare were limited to a very selected segment. He noted that in the schemes made by his government in the last 8 years, priority was given to the spirit that they should touch and reach all the sections of the society and also all the sectors. On one hand, we have given incentives to the youth under the start-up policy, on the other hand, we are also giving money to the farmers from PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (56 lakh small farmers of Karnataka got more than 10000 crore rupees in their account), he said. By initiatives like the One Nation One Ration Card, these schemes are now covering all over India. More than 4.25 crore poor people of Karnataka have been getting free rations for the last more than two years. Under Ayushman, more than 29 lakh poor patients received free treatment from the state. The Prime Minister, who interacted with the beneficiaries before the event, expressed satisfaction that every paisa of the government is filling people with confidence. The Prime Minister said that in the last 8 years the government has empowered social justice through effective last-mile delivery. Through efforts for saturation of welfare schemes, the belief of getting benefits without discrimination and leakage has strengthened among the common citizens of India. He said that his government is constantly making efforts to minimize the dependence of our disabled companions on others. So in our currency, new features have been added for the convenience of the Divyangs in the coins. Courses related to the education of differently-abled are being enriched across the country. Sugamya Bharat is making transport and offices accessible to them. He invited the startup ecosystem to work for finding solutions to the problems of the Divyang people. To help the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) in making Divyang human resources a key partner in the nation’s progress, the ‘Centre of Excellence for persons with communication disorders’ has been dedicated to the nation today. The Prime Minister noted that in the last 8 years, the central government has sanctioned about 70 thousand crore rupees for 5000 kilometres of national highways in Karnataka. Today, the foundation stone of national highway projects worth more than Rs 7,000 crore has been laid in Bangalore. He said that the double engine government is working to quickly complete the projects for the ease of living of the people. The Prime Minister informed that compared to the average of 800 crore rupees that were allocated for railways in Karnataka before 2014, this year 7000 crore rupees have been allocated for this and work is going on railways projects worth rupees 34000 crore in the state. Compared to the electrification of just 16 km of railway line in 10 years prior to 2014, the Prime Minister pointed out, the 1600 km rail line has been electrified in the last 8 years. The Prime Minister concluded that the blessing of the people of Karnataka will keep inspiring the Double-engine government to work tirelessly for the development of the state.",মহীশূৰত এলানি উন্নয়ণমূলক প্ৰকল্পৰ শুভৰম্ভ কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-race-walking-champion-priyanka-goswami-for-winning-the-coveted-silver-medal/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9A-%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated race walking champion, Priyanka Goswami for winning the coveted Silver Medal at Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

But it has transformed now. When people see uniformed personnel now, they get the assurance of help” “Stress-free training activities is need of the hour for strengthening the country’s security apparatus” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today dedicated a building of Rashtriya Raksha University to the nation and delivered its first Convocation address at Ahmedabad. Union Minister for Home Affairs and Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah, Governor of Gujarat Acharya Devvrat and Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel were among those present on the occasion. At the outset, the Prime Minister paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and those who participated in the Dandi March. The great march was started on this day. “The movement under the leadership of Gandhiji against the injustice of the British had made the British government realize the collective power of us Indians”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said that earlier notion of internal security during the colonial time was based on instilling fear among the masses for keeping peace for the colonial masters. Similarly, earlier scenario was very different as the security forces had more time to prepare which is no longer so as technology and transportation and communication has improved so much. He also said today’s policing requires skills like negotiating and other soft skills that are needed to function in a democratic scenario. He stressed the need to change the image of police and security personnel. Depiction of police in the popular culture has not helped in this regard, either. He noted the humane work by the police personnel during the pandemic. “Post-independence, there was a need of reforms in the country’s security apparatus. A perception was developed that we have to be careful of the uniformed personnel. But it has transformed now. When people see uniformed personnel now, they get the assurance of help”, he said. The Prime Minister also noted shrinking of the support network of joint family for police personnel in dealing with the stress of the job. He emphasized need for experts to deal with stress and relaxation including yoga experts in the forces. “Stress-free training activities is need of the hour for strengthening the country’s security apparatus”, he added. He underlined the importance of technology in the security and policing work. He said if criminals are using technology, technology can be harnessed to nab them also. He said this emphasis on technology would also enable even the divyang people to contribute in the field. He said that Gandhinagar area has National Law University, Raksha University and forensic science university. He stressed the need for synergy between these institution through regular combined symposiums to create a holistic education in these related fields. He said “Never make the mistake of treating this as police university. This is a Raksha university that takes care of the security of the country in its entirety.” He reiterated importance of disciplines like mob and crowd psychology, negotiations, nutrition and technology. He urged the students that they should always keep the values humanity as integral to their uniform and there should never be dearth of service spirit in their efforts. He noted with satisfaction the growing number of girls and women in security field. “We are seeing greater participation women in defence sector. Be it Science, Shiksha or Suraksha, women are leading from the front”, he said. The Prime Minister highlighted the role of the first batch of any such institute in taking the vision of the institution forward. He noted the contribution of old pharmacy college in Gujarat to turn the state in to a leader in pharmaceutical field. Similarly IIM Ahmedabad led the creation of robust MBA education system in the country. Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) was set up to meet the need for high quality trained manpower in various wings of policing, criminal justice and correctional administration. Government set up a national police university named Rashtriya Raksha University by upgrading the Raksha Shakti University which was established by the Government of Gujarat in 2010. The University, which is an Institution of National Importance, commenced its operations from 1st October, 2020. The University will develop synergies with the private sector by leveraging knowledge and resources from the industry and would also set up Centres of Excellence in various fields relating to police and security. RRU offers academic programs from diploma to doctorate level in various areas of policing and internal security such as police science and management, criminal law and justice, cyber psychology, information technology, artificial intelligence and cyber security, crime investigation, strategic languages, internal defence and strategies, physical education and sports, coastal and maritime security.

The Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Bhai, the Union Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala ji, my other cabinet colleagues, the stalwarts from the business world, all other dignitaries present here, ladies and gentlemen! This day is very important. It is crucial for India’s growing economic potential, India’s growing technological capabilities and the world’s increasing trust in India. At a time when India is celebrating the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, such new institutions and new systems of a modern India are making India proud. Today in GIFT City, the foundation stone of the International Financial Services Centres Authority – IFSCA Headquarters Building has been laid. I believe this building is going to be grand in its architecture and it will also create unlimited opportunities to make India an economic superpower. IFSCA will not only become an enabler but will also support innovation and will also act as a catalyst for growth opportunities. This is being started today through the launch of NSE IFSC- SGX Connect in GIFT City. Friends, Today the India International Bullion Exchange has also been launched. With the Indian regional office of the New Development Bank, 3 Foreign Banks, and 4 International Trade Financing Services Platforms, we have crossed several important milestones today. These will further help in connecting the potential of 130 crore countrymen to the modern global economy. India is now standing shoulder to shoulder with major countries of the world like the USA, the UK and Singapore from where global finance is being shaped. On this occasion, I extend my heartiest congratulations to all of you, and to all the countrymen. I particularly want to congratulate my friends from Singapore, whose cooperation is opening up possibilities for both the countries. Friends, While living in Gujarat, when I envisioned GIFT City, the idea was not limited to business, trade or economic activities only. The aspirations of the common man of the country are linked to the vision of GIFT City. The vision of India’s future is associated with the GIFT City; the dreams of India’s golden past are also associated with it. I still remember, in January 2013 when I came here for the inauguration of ‘Gift One’, people used to call it the tallest building in Gujarat. For some, this was the only identity given to it. But, Gift City was an idea that was way ahead of its time. Try to recall; 2008 was a period of world economic crisis and recession. Unfortunately in India too, there was an atmosphere of policy paralysis at that time. Just imagine the state of the world then. But, at that time, Gujarat was taking new and major steps in the field of FinTech. I am glad that the same idea has progressed this far today. GIFT City is making a strong mark as a hub of commerce and technology. GIFT City celebrates both wealth and wisdom. I am glad to see that through GIFT City, India is striding ahead strongly in the service sector globally. Friends, Another special feature of GIFT City is that it is the main pillar of the tri-city approach. Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and GIFT City, all three are just 30 minutes away from one another. And all three have their own special identity. Ahmedabad boasts of a glorious history. Gandhinagar is the centre for administration and the main hub of policy and decisions. GIFT City is the main centre of the economy. That is, if you go to any of these three cities, then you are only thirty minutes away from the past, present and future. Friends, The initiatives associated with GIFT City are also a part of our efforts towards ‘ease of doing business’ and ‘ease of living’. We have to remember that a vibrant FinTech sector does not mean just an easier business climate, reforms and regulations. It is also a medium of providing a better life and new opportunities to the professionals working in different fields. Gift City is turning into a place from where new ideas are emerging, wealth creation is happening, and the best minds of the world are coming here to learn and grow. That is, in a way, GIFT City is also becoming a medium of achieving the old economic glory of India. The industry veterans here know that the people of India have been travelling all over the world for business and trade for hundreds of years. There is hardly any part of the world where Indians have not reached. Indian merchants would use innovative financing techniques too. Excavations are going on at the place I come from, my place of birth – Vadnagar. Ancient coins have also been found there in the excavations. This is proof of how extensive our trading system and relations were. But, after independence, we started shying away from recognising our heritage and this strength. It was probably due to colonialism and our low self-confidence that we limited our professional, cultural and other relationships that much. But now, New India is changing this old mindset too. Today integration is the most important agenda for us. With global markets, we are rapidly integrating with global supply chains. And GIFT City is an important gateway to connect India with global opportunities. When you integrate with GIFT City, you will integrate with the whole world. Friends, Today India is one of the largest economies of the world. Therefore, in the future when our economy will be much bigger than it is today, we have to prepare for it now as it is bound to grow. For this, we need institutions that can cater to our present and future roles in the global economy. India International Bullion Exchange – IIBX is a step in this direction. The love of the people of India for gold is not hidden from anyone. Gold has been a major source of economic power for women in India. Due to the special love of women for gold, the metal has been an equally important part of our society and cultural system. This is one of the major reasons why India is a very big market in the field of gold and silver today. But, should that be the only identity of India? The identity of India should also be that of a market maker. IIBX is an important step in this direction. This will help our players in the gold industry, especially jewellers to expand, paving the way for new opportunities for them. They will be able to buy bullion directly, in a transparent manner, and will also be able to participate in international price discovery. In addition, IIBX will also provide opportunities to trade in gold directly through the exchange. As the gold trading market becomes organized, the demand for gold in India will also impact and determine the gold prices. Friends, Whatever happens in India in the future, it will have an impact on the whole world. It will give direction to the whole world. We also value local aspirations, and understand the importance of global cooperation. On one hand, we are bringing in global capital for local welfare while on the other, we are also harnessing local productivity for global welfare. Record foreign direct investment is flowing into India today. This investment is creating new opportunities in the country, fulfilling the aspirations of the youth. It is giving a boost to our industries and increasing our productivity. And this productivity is not only becoming the strength of India but also benefiting the whole world. It is true that the investors who are investing in India today are earning good returns on their investment. But the impact and possibilities associated with it are much wider than this. Today our exports are touching record levels. Our products are reaching new countries and new markets. At a time when global supply chains are prone to uncertainty and the world is faced with this uncertainty, India is assuring the world of quality products and services. That is why, as I said, it is a wonderful combination of global capital for local welfare and local productivity for global welfare. All the institutions associated with GIFT City will work to further strengthen this bond. There are many institutions here which have global footprints, and also have local connections. Friends, I also have many expectations from the new institutions of the New India and the new systems; and I have complete faith in you. In the 21st century, finance and technology are intertwined with each other. And when it comes to technology, science and software, India also has an edge and experience. Today, 40 percent share in the whole world in real time digital payments belongs to India alone. Today we are the leaders in this. This power of India in the field of FinTech is attracting the whole world. Therefore, I expect all of you to aim for new innovations in FinTech. GIFT IFSC emerges as FinTech’s global laboratory. Friends, I would like to draw your attention to another crucial aspect. For India, success and service are synonymous with each other. Public welfare to global welfare is our motto. That is why, today India is leading the world in the field of sustainable development. We have set a target of Net zero carbon emissions for ourselves. At the national level, we are pursuing the Gatishakti Master Plan and setting new records for renewable energy and e-mobility. Internationally, India is leading the International Solar Alliance. This is one area in which our dedication will open up immense possibilities. I want GIFT IFSC to be a gateway to global debt and equity capital for sustainable and climate projects. Similarly, India needs many financial innovations from aircraft leasing, ship financing, carbon trading, digital currency, and IP rights to investment management. IFSCA should work in this direction. IFSCA should also make regulation and operation cost competitive in comparison to places like Dubai and Singapore. Your aim should be to turn IFSCA into a leader in terms of regulations, set high standards for rule of law, and emerge as the preferred arbitration centre for the world. Friends, The country has witnessed a new wave of financial inclusion in the last 8 years with the support of the banking sector. Even the poorest of the poor are joining formal financial institutions today. Today, when a large section of the population is connected with finance, the government organizations and private players together should step forward. For example, today, rising above basic banking, there is a huge scope for financial literacy and financial education. Today there is a major aspirational class in India that wants to invest for growth. If there are such financial courses for them that can teach them about different financial instruments and their features, then it will help them a lot. Let’s take the example of mutual funds. According to the Association of Mutual Funds, the assets under management of the mutual fund industry in India in 2014 were around 10 lakh crores. In these eight years, by June 2022, it has increased by 250 percent to 35 lakh crore. That is, people want to invest. They are ready for it. We need to provide education and information to them. I suggest that we tie-up our financial ecosystem with non-finance colleges and the youth should be educated. After all, it is the youth who will become the earners and investors in the times to come. To inculcate the confidence of the people in these courses, they should be run on not-for-profit mode. Gift City can also work on preparing a good roadmap and ground rules for this by looking at the performance of private players. This year’s budget announcement regarding foreign universities in GIFT City will also benefit it. Friends, I am sure that you will make full use of the country’s potential, and will live up to the country’s expectations in this ”Amritkaal’. Thank you so much! I would also like to thank the Government of Gujarat as the policies of the Gujarat Government are turning out to be complementary and fulfilling in terms of this huge mission of GIFT City. And I also appreciate all the initiatives of the Gujarat government and congratulate the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the same. I can see the people from the world of gems and jewelleries in large numbers. I am sure that they too understand the essence of this opportunity very well. They are well aware of the huge opportunity that has arisen for them and they will take full advantage of it. With this belief, I once again thank you very much and wish you all the very best. Thank you!",গান্ধীনগৰত গিফ্ট চিটীত আইএফএছচিএ মুখ্য কাৰ্যালয়ৰ শিলান্যাস সমাৰোহত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সম্বোধনৰ পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-amendments-in-fdi-policy/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE/,"FDI policy further liberalized in key sectors • 100% FDI under automatic route for Single Brand Retail Trading • 100% FDI under automatic route in Construction Development • Foreign airlines allowed to invest up to 49% under approval route in Air India • FIIs/FPIs allowed to invest in Power Exchanges through primary market • Definition of ‘medical devices’ amended in the FDI Policy The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has given its approval to a number of amendments in the FDI Policy. These are intended to liberalise and simplify the FDI policy so as to provide ease of doing business in the country. In turn, it will lead to larger FDI inflows contributing to growth of investment, income and employment. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a major driver of economic growth and a source of non-debt finance for the economic development of the country. Government has put in place an investor friendly policy on FDI, under which FDI up to 100%, is permitted on the automatic route in most sectors/ activities. In the recent past, the Government has brought FDI policy reforms in a number of sectors viz. Defence, Construction Development, Insurance, Pension, Other Financial Services, Asset reconstruction Companies, Broadcasting, Civil Aviation, Pharmaceuticals, Trading etc. Measures undertaken by the Government have resulted in increased FDI inflows in to the country. During the year 2014-15, total FDI inflows received were US $ 45.15 billion as against US $ 36.05 billion in 2013-14. During 2015-16, country received total FDI of US $ 55.46 billion. In the financial year 2016-17, total FDI of US $ 60.08 billion has been received, which is an all-time high. It has been felt that the country has potential to attract far more foreign investment which can be achieved by further liberalizing and simplifying the FDI regime. Accordingly, the Government has decided to introduce a number of amendments in the FDI Policy. Details: Government approval no longer required for FDI in Single Brand Retail Trading (SBRT) 1. Extant FDI policy on SBRT allows 49% FDI under automatic route, and FDI beyond 49% and up to 100% through Government approval route. It has now been decided to permit 100% FDI under automatic route for SBRT. 2. It has been decided to permit single brand retail trading entity to set off its incremental sourcing of goods from India for global operations during initial 5 years, beginning 1st April of the year of the opening of first store against the mandatory sourcing requirement of 30% of purchases from India. For this purpose, incremental sourcing will mean the increase in terms of value of such global sourcing from India for that single brand (in INR terms) in a particular financial year over the preceding financial year, by the non-resident entities undertaking single brand retail trading entity, either directly or through their group companies. After completion of this 5 year period, the SBRT entity shall be required to meet the 30% sourcing norms directly towards its India’s operation, on an annual basis. 3. A non-resident entity or entities, whether owner of the brand or otherwise, is permitted to undertake ‘single brand’ product retail trading in the country for the specific brand, either directly by the brand owner or through a legally tenable agreement executed between the Indian entity undertaking single brand retail trading and the brand owner. Civil Aviation As per the extant policy, foreign airlines are allowed to invest under Government approval route in the capital of Indian companies operating scheduled and non-scheduled air transport services, up to the limit of 49% of their paid-up capital. However, this provision was presently not applicable to Air India, thereby implying that foreign airlines could not invest in Air India. It has now been decided to do away with this restriction and allow foreign airlines to invest up to 49% under approval route in Air India subject to the conditions that: 1. Foreign investment(s) in Air India including that of foreign Airline(s) shall not exceed 49% either directly or indirectly 2. Substantial ownership and effective control of Air India shall continue to be vested in Indian National. Construction Development: Townships, Housing, Built-up Infrastructure and Real Estate Broking Services It has been decided to clarify that real-estate broking service does not amount to real estate business and is therefore, eligible for 100% FDI under automatic route. Power Exchanges Extant policy provides for 49% FDI under automatic route in Power Exchanges registered under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Power Market) Regulations, 2010. However, FII/FPI purchases were restricted to secondary market only. It has now been decided to do away with this provision, thereby allowing FIIs/FPIs to invest in Power Exchanges through primary market as well. Other Approval Requirements under FDI Policy: 1. As per the extant FDI policy, issue of equity shares against non-cash considerations like pre-incorporation expenses, import of machinery etc. is permitted under Government approval route. It has now been decided that issue of shares against non-cash considerations like pre-incorporation expenses, import of machinery etc. shall be permitted under automatic route in case of sectors under automatic route. 2. Foreign investment into an Indian company, engaged only in the activity of investing in the capital of other Indian company/ies/ LLP and in the Core Investing Companies is presently allowed upto 100% with prior Government approval. It has now been decided to align FDI policy on these sectors with FDI policy provisions on Other Financial Services. Thus, if the above activities are regulated by any financial sector regulator, then foreign investment upto 100% under automatic route shall be allowed; and, if they are not regulated by any Financial Sector Regulator or where only part is regulated or where there is doubt regarding the regulatory oversight, foreign investment up to 100% will be allowed under Government approval route, subject to conditions including minimum capitalization requirement, as may be decided by the Government. Competent Authority for examining FDI proposals from countries of concern As per the existing procedures, FDI applications involving investments from Countries of Concern, requiring security clearance as per the extant FEMA 20, FDI Policy and security guidelines, amended from time to time, are to be processed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for investments falling under automatic route sectors/activities, while cases pertaining to government approval route sectors/activities requiring security clearance are to be processed by the respective Administrative Ministries/Departments, as the case may be. It has now been decided that for investments in automatic route sectors, requiring approval only on the matter of investment being from country of concern, FDI applications would be processed by Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) for Government approval. Cases under the government approval route, also requiring security clearance with respect to countries of concern, will continue to be processed by concerned Administrative Department/Ministry. Pharmaceuticals: FDI policy on Pharmaceuticals sector inter-alia provides that definition of medical device as contained in the FDI Policy would be subject to amendment in the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. As the definition as contained in the policy is complete in itself, it has been decided to drop the reference to Drugs and Cosmetics Act from FDI policy. Further, it has also been decided to amend the definition of ‘medical devices’ as contained in the FDI Policy. Prohibition of restrictive conditions regarding audit firms: The extant FDI policy does not have any provisions in respect of specification of auditors that can be appointed by the Indian investee companies receiving foreign investments. It has been decided to provide in the FDI policy that wherever the foreign investor wishes to specify a particular auditor/audit firm having international network for the Indian investee company, then audit of such investee companies should be carried out as joint audit wherein one of the auditors should not be part of the same network.",মুখ্য খণ্ডসমূহত অধিক উদাৰ হ’ল এফডিআই নীতি https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-homage-to-noted-tamil-writer-thiru-azha-valliappa-on-his-birth-centenary/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has paid homage to noted Tamil writer Thiru Azha.

This day has become a witness to how a solution has been found to a decades-old problem. The event titled ‘Depositors First’ in keeping with the spirit of depositors first makes it more apt. Over one lakh depositors have got back their money stuck with stressed banks in the past few days. This amount is more than Rs 1,300 crores. About three lakh more such account holders will get back their deposits with the banks soon during and after this event. It’s not a small thing in itself. Today I want to make a request especially to our media friends. I requested my media friends when we launched the cleanliness campaign and they continue to help us. Once again, I am making a request to them today. When a bank busts, its news is all over TV and newspapers for several days. It makes headlines. It is natural also because of the nature of the incident. A huge reform has been undertaken today and a very strong system has started in the country. Depositors are getting back their money. I want the media to discuss this comprehensively. Not because, Modi has done it. It is necessary because it will instill confidence in depositors. Banks may go bust because of some wrong reasons or wrong policies, but depositors’ money will not be at risk. Depositors’ money will be safe. This message will instill confidence in the depositors of the country. There will be trust in the banking system, and this is very important. Brothers and sisters, Any country can prevent the problems from getting worse only through timely resolution. But you know very well we have had this tendency for several years of avoiding problems, brushing them under the carpet. Today’s new India emphasizes on solving problems rather than avoiding them. You recall there was a time when the depositors used to have a tough time in getting back their own money in the event of a bank becoming stressed. They had to face so many problems and there used to be commotion. And it was very natural too. A person deposits his money in the bank with complete confidence. Banks are the only hope for our middle class families, especially those with fixed salary income. When any bank used to go bust due to wrong policies of some people, it was not only the money but the entire life of these families used to be at stake. Life seemed like darkness. From where will they pay the college fees of their children? From where will the money come for the marriage of their children? From where will the money come for treatment of an elderly? One of the sisters was just describing the difficulties she faced when somebody in the family had to undergo a heart operation. There was no answer to these questions before. It used to take years for people to get back their own money from the bank. Our poor brothers and sisters and our middle and lower middle class people have experienced this situation for decades. The problems were especially exacerbated in the case of cooperative banks. Those who are associated with this program from different cities understand this pain very well. Our government took decisions, undertook reforms and amended the law very sensitively to change this situation. Today’s event is a result of those decisions. When I was Chief Minister, I remember vividly the people would catch hold of us whenever there used to be any problem in the bank. Though the decision was to be taken by the Indian Government or the concerned banks, the chief ministers were made scapegoats. They would implore us to do something for their money. It was also very natural of them. At that time, I would repeatedly request the Indian Government to increase the deposit insurance coverage from Rs. one lakh to Rs. five lakh so that we could satisfy maximum families. But, they did not accede to my request. They did not do anything, but the people sent me here at the Centre and I did it. Friends, In our country, the insurance procedure for bank depositors was developed in the 60s. In a way, it has been almost 60 years. Earlier, out of the amount deposited in the bank, only the amount up to 50,000 rupees was guaranteed. Later it was increased to one lakh rupees. That is, if the bank went bust, the depositors would get only up to one lakh rupees, but it was not guaranteed when they would get that money. It used to remain unresolved for 8-10 years. There was no time limit. Considering the concern of the poor and the middle class, we have increased this amount from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh. That is, if any bank is stressed today, the depositors will definitely get back up to 5 lakh rupees. With this arrangement, accounts of about 98 percent of the people have been completely covered. Only 2 percent is left now. In other words, the money of the 98 percent of the people is covered. The number of depositors is also huge. India is celebrating 75 years of independence, the Amrit Mahotsav. With this decision, Rs 76 lakh crore is fully insured. Such a comprehensive security cover is not there even in developed countries. Friends, We have tried to solve one more problem by amending the law. Earlier, where there was no time limit for refund, now our government has made it mandatory for 90 days i.e., three months. We have put more burdens on ourselves, because we are concerned about the common man, the middle class and the poor of this country. This means that if a bank turns weak and is poised to become bankrupt, the depositors will get their money back within 90 days. I am glad that the claims of thousands of depositors have also been settled within 90 days of the amendment of the law. Friends, Scholars, intelligent people and economists explain things in their own way. But I will explain it in my simple language. Every country aspires for progress. But we have to remember that banks play a huge role in the prosperity of the country. And for the prosperity of the banks, it is equally important for the depositors’ money to be safe. If we have to save banks, then depositors need to be protected. And by doing this we have saved the banks as well as the depositors. Our banks are a beacon of trust to our depositors as well as our economy. Therefore, we have been making continuous efforts to reinforce this belief. Over the years, the capacity, capability and transparency of many small public sector banks have been strengthened by merging them with large banks. When the RBI supervises the cooperative banks, it will also increase the confidence of the depositors. We have made a new co-operative system by forming a new ministry. The intention is to make cooperative institutions stronger. Co-operative banks will be more empowered with the creation of the co-operative ministry. Friends, For decades, there was a perception in the country that banks are meant only for those who have more money. It used to be the house of the rich. The one who has the most money deposits it. The one who has big business gets quick and more loans. It was also assumed that facilities like pension and insurance are also for those who have money. This was not good for the world’s largest democracy. Neither this system is right nor this thinking! And we are constantly trying to change this too. Today, farmers, small shopkeepers, farm workers, construction workers and laborers working in homes are also being linked with the pension facilities. Today crores of poor of the country have got the facilities of accident and life insurance cover of Rs 2 lakh each. About 37 crore countrymen have this protection cover under the PM Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and the PM Suraksha Bima Yojana. In a way, now the financial sector, the banking sector of the country, has been democratized in the true sense. Friends, The problem in our country was not only with the opening of the bank accounts, but also with the delivery of banking services to the remotest villages. Today, almost every village in the country has the facilities of a bank branch or a banking correspondent within a radius of 5 km. Today, there are about 8.5 lakh banking touch points across the country. We have given new heights to banking and financial inclusion in the country through Digital India. Today, the common citizen of India is able to do even the smallest transactions digitally anytime, anywhere, 24 hours a day. Far from thinking about it till a few years ago, people who doubted India’s potential used to make fun of it. Friends, Our government is working continuously to see to it that the leverage of our banks leads to an increase in the potential of the citizens of the country. Did anyone ever imagine that even street vendors or hawkers would get loans from banks? Neither did they think nor we. But today I have to say with great satisfaction that such people are today getting loans under the SVANidhi scheme and they are also expanding their business. Today Mudra Yojana is helping those families with self-employment who had never even thought of it. You also know that 85 percent of farmers, who are small farmers and have a very small piece of land, were forced to take loans at a high interest rate from markets despite the existence of so many banks. We also connected crores of such small farmers with the facilities of Kisan Credit Card and we have extended its scope to livestock farmers and fishermen. Today, easy and cheaper loans worth lakhs of crores of rupees from banks are making the life of these friends easier. Friends, Reforms like connecting more and more countrymen with banks, making bank loans easily accessible, expanding digital banking and payments rapidly, etc have helped India’s banking system run smoothly even in the biggest disaster of 100 years. I congratulate everybody in the banking sector for not leaving people helpless in the hour of crisis. When the developed countries were struggling to provide help to their citizens, India provided direct help to almost every section of the country at a fast pace. The government was able to make big ticket decisions to save the lives of the countrymen due to the strength that we have developed in the banking sector over the years. Today our economy has not only improved rapidly, but we can see very positive signs for the future. Brothers and sisters, The biggest benefit of financial inclusion and ease of access to credit has happened to our sisters, mothers and daughters. It was the misfortune of the country that most of our sisters and daughters were deprived of this benefit for so many decades after independence. The situation was such that our mothers and sisters used to keep their small savings in ration boxes in the kitchen. They had only this place to keep their money, inside the grains and some of them used to celebrate it also. It was a matter of concern that half the population could not utilize the services of banks meant for the safe deposits. The solution to this concern has also played a vital role behind the Jan Dhan Yojana. Today its success is in front of everyone. More than half of the crores of bank accounts opened under the Jan Dhan Yojana belong to our mothers and sisters. We have seen the impact of these bank accounts on the economic empowerment of women in the recent National Family Health Survey. When this survey was conducted, about 80 percent of the women in the country had their own bank account. The important thing is that almost as many bank accounts have been opened for rural women as for urban women. It shows that when positive plans are delivered, they go a long way in removing the inequalities that exist in society. Having their own bank account has not only increased economic awareness among women, but has also expanded their participation in making financial decisions in the family. Now when the family takes any decision, it involves the mother and sisters and takes their opinion. Friends, About 70 percent of the beneficiaries of the Mudra Yojana are also women. It has also been our experience that when women get loans, their track record in repaying the same is commendable. If Wednesday is the last date to repay the money, then they repay it on Monday itself. Similarly, the performance of self help groups is also very good. In a way, our mothers and sisters deposit every penny. I am sure that with everyone’s efforts and participation, this campaign of economic empowerment will progress very fast. And we are all going to step it up further. Friends, Today the need of the hour is that the banking sector should work more actively than before in achieving the goals of the country. During the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, every bank branch should aim to multiply whatever they have achieved in 75 years by at least two times. You will find how the situation changes. You should come out of your hesitation to give loans due to past experiences. A large number of people in remote areas of the country, in villages and towns, want to connect with banks to fulfill their dreams. If you go ahead and help people, then the economic power of more and more people will increase and so will your own strength. Your efforts will help our small entrepreneurs, middle class youth to move forward in making the country self-reliant. The confidence of the banks and the depositors will reach new heights and today’s event will instill a new confidence among the various depositors. The risk taking capacity of banks can also increase manifold. Now there is an opportunity for the banks as well for the depositors. On such an auspicious occasion, I wish you all the very best.

The Prime Minister visited the exhibition on products manufactured by Self Help Groups aided by Uttar Pradesh Rural Livelihood Mission. He distributed Electric Chaak, Solar Charkha and Honey Warp to women beneficiaries and appreciation letters to five women Self Help Groups. Various women Self Help Groups supported by Deendayal Anthodia Yojana, NRLM-Uttar Pradesh, handedover a cheque of Rs.21 lakh to the Prime Minister,astheir contribution towards ‘Bharat Ke Veer’ Fund. Paying his respect to all women on International Women’s Day, Prime Minister said that women have an important role in creating New India. He expressed happiness that over65 lakh women from around 75000 locations are participating in the event through video conference. He added that Varanasi is a shining example of women empowerment. The Prime Minister said thatgovernment is completely committed towards the empowerment of women. He mentioned about the various schemes initiated by the Union Government for the welfare of women and girl children, especially in the fields of health, nutrition, sanitation, education, skill development, self-employment, new gas connections andensuring safety and security of women. He said that maternity leave of six months introduced by the government is one of the best in the world. Women are given priority in all Union Government schemes, PM said.

Maharashtra Governor Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari ji, Chief Minister Shri Uddhav Thackeray ji, my colleagues in the Union Cabinet Ashwini Vaishnaw ji and Raosaheb Danve ji, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar ji, former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis ji, MPs and MLAs, brothers and sisters! Tomorrow is the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. First of all, I bow respectfully at the feet of the great hero, the protector of India’s pride, identity and culture. Many congratulations to every Mumbaikar on the inauguration of the newly constructed fifth and sixth railway line between Thane and Diva, a day before the birth anniversary of Shivaji Maharaj. This new rail line will bring an important change in the lives of the people of Mumbai, improving their ease of living. This new railway line will give further impetus to the never-ending life of Mumbai. With the start of these two lines, the people of Mumbai will get four direct benefits. First- Now there will be separate lines for local and express trains. Second- Trains going to and from Mumbai for other states will no longer have to wait for the passage of local trains. Third- Mail/Express trains will now be able to run without any interruption in the Kalyan to Kurla section. And fourth- Friends in Kalwa and Mumbra have been relieved of the block every Sunday. Friends, Thirty-six new local trains will run on the Central Railway line from today. Most of these are AC trains. This is part of the central government’s commitment to expand the facilities of the local trains and modernize them. Metro (rail) has also been expanded in Mumbai in the last seven years. The metro network is being expanded rapidly in the suburban centers adjacent to Mumbai. Brothers and sisters, The demand to expand and modernize the local trains that have been serving Mumbai for decades was very old. The foundation stone of this fifth and sixth line was laid in 2008. It was to be completed in 2015, but, unfortunately, the project kept hanging in balance due to different reasons till 2014. After that, we started working on it and sorted out the problems. I am told that there were 34 places where the new railway line was to be connected with the old one. Our workers and engineers completed this project despite many challenges. Dozens of bridges, flyovers and tunnels were built. I heartily acknowledge and congratulate such commitment towards nation-building. Brothers and sisters, Mumbai metropolis has contributed significantly to the progress of independent India. Now efforts are being made to increase the potential of Mumbai manifold in building a self-reliant India. Therefore, we have a special focus on building 21st-century infrastructure in Mumbai. If we talk about railway connectivity, then thousands of crores of rupees are being invested here. The Mumbai suburban rail system is being equipped with modern and best technology. It is our endeavor to expand the Mumbai suburban’s capacity by about 400 kms. Along with a modern signaling system like CBTC, there are also plans to modernize 19 stations. Brothers and sisters, Not only within Mumbai, but the rail connectivity of Mumbai with other states of the country also requires speed and modernity. Therefore, Ahmedabad-Mumbai High-Speed Rail is the need of Mumbai and the country today. This will strengthen Mumbai’s potential, Mumbai’s identity as the City of Dreams. It is the priority of all of us to complete this project rapidly. Similarly, the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor will also provide new impetus to Mumbai. Friends, We all know that the number of people travelling by Indian Railways in a day is much more than the population of many countries. Making Indian Railways safe, convenient and modern is one of the top priorities of our government. The Corona global pandemic also could not dent our commitment. In the last two years, the Railways created new records in freight transportation. Electrification of 8,000 km of railway lines has also been completed. About 4,500 kilometers of new lines or their doubling has also been completed. During the Corona period itself, we have connected the farmers with markets across the country through Kisan Rails. Friends, We are also aware that reforms in railways can bring revolutionary changes in the logistics sector of our country. Therefore, the central government has been encouraging all kinds of reforms in the railways for the last seven years. In the past, infrastructure projects continued for years because of a lack of coordination from planning to execution. It is not possible to build the infrastructure of 21st century India with this approach. Therefore, we have developed the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. It is an endeavor to bring every department of the central government, state governments, local bodies and the private sector on a single digital platform so that every information related to any infrastructure project should be with every stakeholder in advance. Only then will everyone be able to execute their respective part of the work and plan it properly. For Mumbai and other railway projects in the country, we are going to work with the spirit of GatiShakti. Friends, A thinking has prevailed here for years that we need not invest in the resources being used by the poor and the middle-class people. As a result, the image of India’s public transport has always suffered. But now India is moving ahead discarding that old approach. Today the modern railway stations of Gandhinagar and Bhopal are becoming the identity of the Railways. Today, more than 6000 railway stations have been connected with Wi-Fi facilities. Vande Bharat Express trains are giving speed and modern facilities to India’s railways. In coming years, 400 new Vande Bharat trains will start serving the countrymen. Brothers and sisters, Our government has changed another approach and that is the trust of the railways in its own potential. There was a lot of indifference about the rail coach factories in the country till 7-8 years ago. Given the condition of these factories, no one could imagine that these factories could also develop modern trains. But today Vande Bharat trains and indigenous Vistadome coaches are being made in the same factories. Today, we are also continuously working on modernizing our signaling system with indigenous solutions. We want indigenous solutions and we want freedom from foreign dependence. Friends, The endeavors to develop these new facilities will greatly benefit Mumbai and its surrounding cities. These new facilities will also provide convenience and new means of earning to the poor and middle-class families. With commitment to the relentless development of Mumbai, I once again heartily congratulate all Mumbaikars.

My heartiest congratulations to all the people associated with Telecom Regulatory Authority of India – TRAI on its Silver Jubilee. What a wonderful coincidence that today your organization has completed 25 years and at the same time the country is working on the roadmap for the next 25 years and setting new goals during the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal’. A short while back I have had the opportunity to dedicate our indigenous 5G test-bed to the nation. This is an important step towards self-reliance of critical and modern technology in the telecom sector. I congratulate the IITs and everyone associated with this project. Also, I invite young friends, researchers and companies of the country to use this testing facility to develop 5G technology. This is a great opportunity particularly for our startups to test their products. Moreover, the country’s own 5G standard has been developed in the form of 5Gi. It is a matter of great pride for the country. It will play a massive role in extending the 5G technology to the villages of the country. Friends, Connectivity in 21st century India will determine the pace of progress of the country. Therefore connectivity has to be modernized at every level. Developing modern infrastructure and making maximum use of modern technology will help in building the foundation of the same. 5G technology is also going to bring positive changes in the governance of the country, ease of living, ease of doing business and other such matters. This will boost growth in every sector like agriculture, health, education, infrastructure and logistics. This will not only facilitate convenience but also generate new employment opportunities. It is estimated that in the coming decade and a half, 5G is going to contribute $ 450 billion to India’s economy. That is, it is not only going to increase the speed of the internet, but also increase the pace of progress and employment generation. Therefore, for the rapid rollout of 5G, there is a need for concerted efforts both by the government and the industry. Our task force has already started working so that by the end of this decade we are able to launch 6G services as well. Friends, We are trying to ensure that our startups are ready in terms of the telecom sector and 5G technology as soon as possible and turn into global champions. We are one of the world’s largest design powerhouses across multiple sectors. We all are aware of the power of India’s design champions in the telecom equipment market too. We now have a special focus on easing the R&D infrastructure and processes required for the same. And you all have a major role to play in this endeavour. Friends, We can proudly say that our telecom sector has set a great example of how self-reliance and healthy competition can create a multiplier effect in the economy and the society. Let us look at the era of 2G. The era of 2G was all about despair, desperation, corruption and policy paralysis; whereas today, after coming out of that era, the country has moved rapidly from 3G to 4G and now 5G and 6G. This transition is happening very smoothly, with a lot of transparency and TRAI has played a very crucial role in this direction. Whenever challenges like retrospective taxation, or AGR have come before the industry, we have tried to respond with the same speed and have also made reforms wherever necessary. Such efforts built a new trust. As a result, more than 1.5 times the FDI has flowed in the telecom sector in just 8 years compared to what we used to receive for over a decade before 2014. We all have the responsibility of strengthening this sentiment of investors regarding India’s potential. Friends, You are all well aware of the way the government has been working with a new thinking and approach all these years. Now the country is moving ahead with the ‘whole of the government’ approach by coming out of the ‘ working in silos’ mindset. Today we are rapidly growing in terms of tele-density and internet users in the world. Several sectors including telecom have played a crucial role in the same. But the most important role is played by the Internet. When we came to power in 2014, we made ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ and the extensive use of technology as our priority. For this, it was essential that crores of people of the country joined together and connected with the government too. Besides, all the units of the government, whether central, state or the local self-government institutions were also supposed to move together as an organic unit. We ensured that they were able to join easily at the minimum possible cost and avail government services without corruption. That’s why we decided to come up with the trinity of Jan Dhan, Aadhar, Mobile as the medium of direct governance. To make the mobile accessible to the poorest of the poor families, we have emphasized on manufacturing mobile phones in the country itself. Consequently, the mobile manufacturing units increased from 2 to over 200. Today India is the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer. And there was a time when we used to import phones for our needs but today we are setting new records for mobile phone exports. Friends, To expand mobile connectivity, it was imperative that calls and data were not expensive. That’s why we encouraged healthy competition in the telecom market. As a result, today we are one of the cheapest data providers in the world. Today India is busy connecting every village of the country with optical fiber. You also know that before 2014, not even a hundred gram panchayats in India were connected to the optical fiber network. Today we have extended broadband connectivity to about 1.75 lakh gram panchayats. Some time back, the government approved a major scheme to provide 4G connectivity to several Naxal-affected tribal districts of the country. It is not only important for 5G and 6G technology but will also expand the scope of mobile and internet. Friends, With more and more Indians having access to phones and the internet, India has unlocked a huge potential. This has laid the foundation for a strong digital infrastructure in the country. This has created a huge demand for the service in the country. For example, the 4 lakh Common Service Centres have been set up in every nook and corner of the country. Today, hundreds of government services are reaching the people of the villages through these Common Service Centres. These Common Service Centres have also become a medium of employment for lakhs of youth. I went to an event in Gujarat recently. Dahod district is a tribal area. I met a ‘Divyang’ couple there. They were running a Common Service Centre. The man said, “I was handicapped, so I got this little help and started this”. Today he is earning 28-30 thousand rupees from the Common Service Centre in a far flung village of the tribal area. It means that the citizens of the tribal area also know what these services are, how these services can be accessed, how meaningful the services are, and a differently-abled couple also serves the people in a small village there and are earning a livelihood. This is how digital technology is bringing a transformation. Friends, Our government is continuously upgrading the technology as well as improving the delivery system of the country. This has given an impetus to the start-up ecosystem in the country, both in service and manufacturing sectors. This is the vital reason behind turning India into the third largest startup ecosystem in the world. Friends, This ‘whole of the government’ approach is also pivotal for all our regulators like TRAI to meet the present and future challenges. Today regulation is not limited to just one sector. Technology is inter-connecting different sectors. That’s why today everyone naturally feels the need for collaborative regulation. For this it is necessary that all the regulators come together, develop common platforms and work out solutions with better coordination. I am sure that an important solution will emerge out of this conference. You also need to protect the interests of the country’s telecom consumers and encourage the growth of the world’s most lucrative telecom market. I hope that TRAI’s Silver Jubilee Conference gives impetus to the growth of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal’, instils new confidence, and helps us to take a new leap for fulfilling our dreams and resolutions. With this expectation, big thanks to all of you! My best wishes to you all, thank you very much!",ট্ৰাইৰ ৰূপালী জয়ন্তী উদযাপনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-lays-foundation-stone-dedicates-to-the-nation-multiple-projects-worth-over-rs-9500-crores-at-ramagundam-telangana/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A7%AF/,"Dedicates Fertilizer plant at Ramagundam “Experts around the world are upbeat about the growth trajectory of Indian economy” “A new India presents itself to the world with self-confidence and aspirations of development ” “Fertilizer sector is proof of the honest efforts of the central government” “No proposal for privatization of SCCL is under consideration with the central government” “The Government of Telangana holds 51% stake in SCCL, while the Central Government holds 49%. The Central Government cannot take any decision related to the privatization of SCCL at its own level” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone and dedicated to the nation multiple projects worth over Rs 9500 crores in Ramagundam, Telangana today. Earlier today, the Prime Minister paid a visit to the Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited (RFCL) plant Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said projects launched and for which foundation stones were laid today will promote both agriculture and agricultural growth. The Prime Minister pointed out that on one hand, the entire world is dealing with the corona pandemic and is getting affected by strenuous situations of war and military actions. “But among all of this”, the Prime Minister said, “experts are predicting that India is moving in the direction of becoming the third largest economy.” Experts, the Prime Minister said, are also saying that growth equivalent to 30 years from the 90s will take place in the coming few years. “The chief reason for this perception is the change that has taken place in the country during the last 8 years. India has changed its approach to doing work in the last 8 years. In these 8 years thinking as well as the approach of governance has undergone a transformation”, he said. This can be seen in infrastructure, government processes, ease of doing business, and transformations which are being inspired by the aspirational society of India, he added. “A new India presents itself to the world with self-confidence and aspirations of development ”, he said. The Prime Minister said that development is a continuous mission that runs in the country 365 days a year. He further added that when a dedication of a project is carried out, work on new projects begins simultaneously. The Prime Minister also emphasized that efforts are made to pace up the development of projects whose foundation stones are laid and the Ramagundam project is a clear example of this. The foundation stone for Ramagundam Project was laid by the Prime Minister on 7th August 2016. The Prime Minister pointed out that the India of the 21st century can move forward by realizing ambitious targets. “When the aim is ambitious, we have to come up with new methodologies and create new facilities”, the Prime Minister remarked. Shri Modi said that the fertilizer sector is proof of the honest efforts of the central government. Recalling the time when India used to depend on foreign countries to meet the demands of fertilizers, the Prime Minister pointed out that many fertilizer plants that were set up earlier were forced to shut down due to obsolete technologies, including Ramagundam Plant. He further added that urea which was imported at exorbitant rates was black-marketed for other purposes instead of reaching the farmers. Measures for improving fertilizer availability · 100% Neem Coating of Urea. · Opening of 5 big plants which were lying closed, more than 60 lakh tonnes of urea will be produced · Nano Urea push · Single Pan-India brand ‘Bharat Brand’ · 9.5 lakh crore spent in 8 years to keep fertilizers affordable · More than 2.5 lakh spent this year · International price of Urea bag is Rs 2000, farmers pay Rs 270 · Every DAP fertilizer bag gets 2500 subsidy · Soil Health card for informed fertilizer decision · 2.25lakh crore rupees transferred under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi After 2014, one of the first steps taken by the central government was ensuring 100% Neem Coating of Urea and stopping black-marketing. He further added that the soil health card campaign ensured the knowledge among farmers about the optimum needs of their fields. Five big fertilizer plants that were lying closed for years are being restarted. The Gorakhpur plant in Uttar Pradesh has started production, and the Ramagundam plant has been dedicated to the nation. When these five plants are fully functional, the country will get 60 lakh tonnes of urea which will lead to huge savings on imports and ease of availability of urea. Ramagundam Fertilizer plant will serve farmers in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, he informed. The Plant will spur the economy of the surrounding areas and will give a push to logistics-related businesses in the area. “6000 crore rupees invested by the central government will give several thousand rupees benefit to the youth of Telangana”, he said. The Prime Minister also talked about the technological strides in the fertilizer field and said Nano Urea will bring a massive change in the field. The Prime Minister stressed the importance aatmnirbharta and mentioned how the global price rise of fertilizer due to the pandemic and war was not transferred to the farmers. A 2000 rs bag of Urea is made available for 270 rupees to the farmer. Similarly, a bag of DAP priced at Rs 4000 in the international market is subsidized to the tune of 2500 rs per bag. “In the last 8 years”, the Prime Minister informed, “the central government has already spent approximately Rs 10 lakh crores so that farmers are not burdened for fertilizers.” He further added that the central government has spent 2.5 lakh crores so far this year to make cheap fertilizers available for the farmers of India. The Prime Minister informed that the central government has transferred approximately 2.25 lakh crores in the bank accounts of farmers under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. The Prime Minister also threw light on the multitude of brands of fertilizers that were available in the market which had become a cause for concern for the farmers for decades. “Urea will now have only one brand in India and it is called Bharat brand. Its quality and price are already determined”, he remarked. This is a clear example of how the government is reforming the sector, especially for small farmers. The Prime Minister also touched upon the challenge of the connectivity infrastructure. The government is working to meet this challenge by providing every state with modern highways, airports, waterways, railways and internet highways. This is getting new energy from PM Gatishakti National Master plan. The coordination and informed working style is eliminating the possibility of projects hanging for a long time, he said. He said that the railway line connecting Bhadradri Kothagudem district and Khammam was prepared in 4 years and will greatly benefit the local population. Similarly, the three highways on which work started today, will benefit the industrial belt, sugarcane and turmeric growers. Throwing light on the rumour mill that arises when the development works in the country picks up pace, the Prime Minister said that some forces create obstacles for political gains. He pointed out that similar rumours are currently being spread in Telangana regarding ‘Singareni Collieries Company Limited-SCCL’ and various coal mines. “The Government of Telangana holds 51% stake in SCCL, while the Central Government holds 49%. The Central Government cannot take any decision related to the privatization of SCCL at its own level”, the Prime Minister clarified and reiterated that no proposal for privatization of SCCL is under consideration with the central government. The Prime Minister recalled the numerous scams of thousands of crores of rupees that have plagued the country regarding coal mines. He informed that the country as well as the workers, the poor and the areas where these mines were located suffered heavy losses. He further added that coal mines are being auctioned with complete transparency keeping in view the increasing need for coal in the country. “Our government has also created DMF i.e. District Mineral Fund to give benefits to the people living in the area where the minerals are extracted. Thousands of crores of rupees have been released to the states under this fund”, he added. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister said “We want to take Telangana forward by following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. Governor of Telangana, Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, Members of Parliament and Members of Legislative Assembly were those present on occasion. Farmers from 70 Constituency seats were connected with the event. Background The Prime Minister dedicated Fertilizer plant at Ramagundam to the nation whose foundation stone for Ramagundam Project was also laid by the Prime Minister on 7th August 2016. The driving force behind the revival of the Fertilizer Plant is the vision of the Prime Minister to achieve self-sufficiency in production of urea. The Ramagundam Plant will make available 12.7 LMT per annum of indigenous neem-coated Urea production. The project has been set up under the aegis of Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited (RFCL) which is a Joint Venture Company of National Fertilizers Limited (NFL), Engineers India Ltd (EIL) and Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited (FCIL). RFCL was entrusted with the responsibility of setting up the New Ammonia-Urea Plant with an investment of more than Rs 6300 crores. Gas to RFCL Plant will be supplied through Jagdishpur – Phulpur- Haldia Pipeline. The plant would ensure adequate and timely supply of urea fertilizer to the farmers in the state of Telangana as well as in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chattisgarh and Maharashtra. The plant would not only improve the availability of fertilizer but will also boost overall economic development in the region including the development of infrastructures like roads, railways, ancillary industry etc. Apart from this, the region will benefit from the development of MSME vendors for supply of various goods for the factory. RFCL’s ‘Bharat Urea’ will provide a tremendous boost to the economy by not only reducing imports but also by giving an impetus to the local farmers through a timely supply of fertilizers and extension services. The Prime Minister also dedicated the Bhadrachalam Road- Sattupalli rail line to the nation, which has been built at a cost of around Rs 1000 crores. He also laid the foundation stone of various road projects worth over Rs 2200 crores, namely the Medak-Siddipet-Elkathurthy section of NH-765DG; Bodhan-Basar-Bhainsa section of NH-161BB; Sironcha to Mahadevpur Section of NH-353C.",তেলেংগানাৰ ৰামাগুণ্ডমত ৯৫০০ কোটি টকাৰো অধিক মূল্যৰ একাধিক প্ৰকল্প দেশৰ নামত উচৰ্গা প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-lakshya-sen-for-winning-gold-medal-in-badminton-at-cwg-2022/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Lakshya Sen for winning the Gold medal in Badminton at CWG 2022, Birmingham.

Bharat Mata ki – Jai! The Governor of Himachal Pradesh, Shri Rajendra ji, the popular and hardworking Chief Minister and my friend Shri Jai Ram Thakur ji, the BJP’s state president and our old colleague Shri Suresh ji, my colleagues in the Union Council of Ministers, MPs, MLAs and all the public representatives of Himachal Pradesh. Today is a special day in my life and what can be a greater blessing than this that I am privileged to pay obeisance to this Devbhoomi on this special day. I thank you very much for coming in such a large number to bless us. Just now, crores of farmers of the country got the money from the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi in their accounts. I got the privilege to transfer money to the accounts of more than 10 crore farmers of the country from the soil of Shimla. Those farmers will also remember Shimla, Himachal and this Devbhoomi. I congratulate and extend my best wishes to all the farmer brothers and sisters from the bottom of my heart. Friends, Though this program is being held in Shimla, it is meant for the entire India. We were discussing what program should be held on the completion of eight years of the government. So suggestions came from our Nadda ji, who is from Himachal, and also from Jai Ram ji and I liked both the suggestions very much. Yesterday, I got the opportunity to take care of the children who lost both their mother and father during the Corona period. The government decided to take care of thousands of children in the country, and yesterday I also sent some money to them digitally. Such a program on the completion of eight years (of government) gives great peace and joy. Then there was this suggestion that we should hold a program in Himachal. I said yes to the suggestion without batting an eyelid. Himachal holds a very important place in my life and spending some happy moments here is nothing like that. Therefore, I said this important program on the occasion of eight years of government is happening in Shimla, which was once my ‘karmabhoomi’. Devbhoomi to me is a holy land. Getting an opportunity to talk to the countrymen from this Devbhoomi gives me immense pleasure. Friends, You gave me the opportunity, the privilege and the trust to work as a ‘sevak’ of 130 crore Indians, and if I am able to do something today then don’t think that Modi does it. All this is happening because of the grace, blessings and the strength of 130 crore countrymen. As a member of the family, I have never seen myself in that position, never ever imagined and not even today just because I am Prime Minister. When I sign a file, there is a responsibility and I have to act as the Prime Minister. Once the file is gone, I am no longer the Prime Minister, I become a member of the family of 130 crore countrymen only. As a member of your own family, I continue to work as a ‘pradhan sevak’. In future also, being a member of a family, I would continue to align myself with the hopes and aspirations of the family of 130 crore countrymen. This is my life all about. You are everything in my life and this life is also for you. And when our government is completing its eight years, I will again reiterate my resolution from this Devbhoomi, because the resolution should be remembered every time and should never be forgotten, and my resolve was, is and will continue to be in future also for which I will live, struggle and will continue to be with all of you. My resolve is for the dignity and security of every Indian, how to improve their prosperity and how to ensure a happy and peaceful life for them. I once again commit myself to this resolve from this Devbhoomi to continue as I much as I can do for the welfare of everybody, be it the poorest of the poor, dalit, oppressed, deprived, people living in far-flung forests and even a few families settled on hillocks. Friends, Together we will take India to that position whose dream was seen by the people who died for freedom. In this Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, I have come among you today with full faith in India’s youth power, women power and with the confidence of a very bright future of India. Friends, When we move forward towards achieving big goals in life, sometimes it is also necessary to see from where we start? And when we recall that (period) only then we know from where did we start and where we have reached, how has been our pace and progress and what have been our achievements. If we recall the days before 2014, do not forget those days, friends, then only we will understand the value of these occasions. If we look at the present circumstances, you will realize that the country has come a long way. Prior to 2014, loot, embezzlement, corruption, scams, nepotism, bureaucracy and delayed projects topped the headlines of newspapers and were debated in TV (news channels). But the time has changed. Today the benefits of government schemes are discussed. Somewhere from Sirmaur, Samadevi says that she has got this benefit. There is an attempt to reach the last mile (of society). Today the discussion revolves around the direct transfer of money to the bank accounts of the poor and about start-ups in India. The World Bank also discusses the ease of doing business in India. The innocent citizens of India discuss the power to reign in criminals and zero-tolerance towards corruption. Before 2014, the government had considered corruption as an inherent part of the system. Instead of fighting corruption, the government had succumbed to it. The country was watching how the money of the schemes was embezzled before it reached the needy. But today the benefits of Jan Dhan accounts and the trinity of the Jan Dhan-Aadhaar and Mobile are being discussed. Earlier there was a compulsion to bear smoke in the kitchens; today there is a facility to get cylinders under the Ujjwala scheme. Earlier open defecation was a compulsion; today there is freedom to live with dignity by having toilets in the house. Earlier there was helplessness to raise money for treatment; today every poor has the support of the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Earlier there was a fear of Triple Talaq; now there is the courage to fight for one’s rights. Friends, Before 2014, there was concern about the security of the country; today we are proud of surgical strikes and air strikes and our border is more secure than before. Earlier the North East of the country was hurt over discrimination and unbalanced development. Today our North East is also emotionally connected and is also connecting with modern infrastructure. Our schemes for service, good governance and welfare of the poor have changed the meaning of governance for the people. The government is not master today. That period is over. Now the government is ‘sevak’ (servant) of the masses. Now the government is working not to interfere in life but to make life easier. Over the years, we have brought the politics of development into the mainstream of the country. People are choosing a stable government, a double engine government, in this desire for development. Friends, We often hear that governments come and go, but the system remains the same. Our government made this system more sensitive for the poor by making continuous improvements in it. Be it the PM Awas Yojana, scholarships or pension schemes, we have minimized the scope of corruption with the help of technology. We are trying to provide a permanent solution to the problems which were earlier assumed to be permanent. When there is the goal of service, good governance and welfare for the poor, Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme is one such example how things move. More than 21,000 crore rupees have been transferred to the bank accounts of the families of more than 10 crore farmers through the Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme. This amount is for the dignity of our small farmers. In the last eight years, we have transferred more than Rs 22 lakh crore directly into the account of the countrymen through the DBT. And it is not that 85 paise of 100 paise sent to them would go missing as it used to happen earlier. All the money has been sent to the bank accounts of the real beneficiaries at their correct address. Friends, Today, Rs 2.25 lakh crore have been saved from the leakages due to this scheme. Earlier, the same 2.5 lakh crore rupees would go into the hands of middlemen and touts. Due to the DBT, we have successfully removed more than nine crore fake names from the list who were taking undue advantage of government schemes in the country. Just imagine, everything was being robbed in the country by forging names on papers for gas subsidy, fees for children’s education and money meant against malnutrition. Was it not injustice to the poor of the country? Was it not injustice to the children who hope for a bright future? Was it not a sin? Had these nine crore fake names existed on paper, could the poor get the benefit of the government’s efforts during the Corona crisis? Friends, When the day-to-day struggle of the poor is reduced, he becomes empowered and he commits himself with new energy to get rid of his poverty. With this approach, our government is engaged in empowering the poor from day one. We have tried to ease every concern in his life. Today, 3 crore poor people of the country have got their pucca and new houses, where they have started living. Today, more than 50 crore poor people of the country have the facility of free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh. Today, more than 25 crore poor people of the country have accident insurance and term insurance of Rs 2 lakh each. Today, about 45 crore poor people of the country have Jan Dhan bank accounts. Today I can say with great pride that there will be hardly any family in the country which is not associated with some or the other scheme of the government and getting benefit from that scheme. We have vaccinated people by reaching far and wide. The country is reaching a record level of about 200 crore vaccine doses and I would congratulate Jai Ram ji the way his government has worked during the Corona period. Being a tourist destination state, he carried out the vaccination drive so rapidly to ensure that tourism did not suffer. In fact, Jai Ram ji’s government was among the first states to complete the vaccination. Friends, we have connected six crore families living in the villages with clean water through taps. Friends, We have given self-employment opportunities to crores of youth in villages and small towns by distributing Mudra loans to 35 crore people. Somebody is driving a taxi by taking a Mudra loan, someone has opened a tailoring shop or a daughter has started her own business. About 35 lakh street vendors have also got loans from banks for the first time and found a way to expand their business. It is a matter of satisfaction for me that 70 percent of those who got money from the bank under the Prime Minister’s Mudra Yojana are our mothers and sisters who are giving employment to people by becoming entrepreneurs. Friends, There is hardly any family in Himachal Pradesh which has not produced a soldier. This is the land of heroes. This is the land of brave mothers who give birth to heroes who put their lives at risk round the clock to protect the motherland. Friends, This is the land of soldiers. The people here can never forget how the earlier governments treated them, how they cheated them in the name of One-Rank One-Pension. Right now, we were talking to a retired soldier from Ladakh. He had spent his life in the army, but he is getting a pucca house after the formation of our government. It has been 30-40 years since he retired. Friends, The soldiers’ families understand our sensitivity very well. It is our government which implemented One-Rank One-Pension after a long wait of four decades and gave arrears to our ex-servicemen. Every family of Himachal has benefited a lot from this. Friends, Vote bank politics has ruled our country for decades. The politics of creating one’s own vote bank has done a lot of damage to the country. We are not working to create vote banks, but to build a new India. When the goal is to rebuild the nation, to make India self-reliant, when the intention is to serve and promote welfare of 130 crore countrymen, then vote banks are not created, but the trust of all the countrymen is won. Therefore, we are moving ahead with the spirit of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. The government is working with the approach so that everyone should get the benefit of government schemes and no poor should be left out. We have taken the initiative to provide 100% benefit to 100% beneficiaries and have taken a pledge for the saturation of the beneficiaries. The hundred percent empowerment means end to discrimination, elimination of recommendations and end to appeasement. The hundred percent empowerment means that every poor gets full benefits of government schemes. I am happy to know that Himachal Pradesh is doing very good work in this direction under the leadership of Jai Ram ji. Himachal has already covered 90 percent of the households under the Har Ghar Jal Yojana and 100% coverage has been achieved in Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti, Chamba and Hamirpur districts. Friends, Prior to 2014, I remember during my visits here I used to say that India would not be subservient to the world but would deal with it on its own terms. Today, India does not extend the hand of friendship in compulsion, but extends its hand for help. We sent medicines and vaccines to more than 150 countries even during the Corona period. Baddi — the pharma hub of Himachal Pradesh — has also played a big role in this regard. India has proved that we have potential and we are also performers. International organizations are also accepting that poverty is declining in India and facilities for people are increasing. Now India not only has to fulfill the needs of its people, but we also have to fulfill the awakened aspirations of the people. We have to expand ourselves for the bright future of the future generations, for the bright India of the 21st century. An India whose identity is not paucity but modernity! An India in which the local manufacturers meet the local demands and also sell goods in the world markets! An India that is self-reliant, which is vocal for its local and which is proud of its local products! The handicrafts and architecture of Himachal are equally famous. Tourists go crazy when they see the metal work of Chamba, the pine art of Solan and the miniature paintings of Kangra. We are working to make such products reach every nook and corner of the country and international markets. By the way, brothers and sisters, the radiance of the local products of Himachal has now reached the temple of Baba Vishwanath in Kashi. The traditional dresses made by our mothers and sisters in Kullu are helping the priests and security personnel of Kashi Vishwanath temple during the winter season. As a Member of Parliament from Banaras, I express special gratitude to the people of Himachal Pradesh for this gift. Friends, I am full of self-confidence with the results of the efforts of the last eight years. No goal is impossible as far as the potential of Indians is concerned. Today India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Today record foreign investment is happening in India. India is also making record exports. Eight years ago, we were nowhere in terms of start-ups. Today we are the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world. Our youths are preparing a company worth thousands of crores of rupees almost every week. The country is also rapidly building new infrastructure for the new economy for realizing the grand resolutions of the next 25 years. We are focusing on multimodal connectivity supporting each other. The ‘Parvat Mala’ scheme that we announced in this year’s budget will further strengthen connectivity in hilly states like Himachal. Under the Vibrant Border Village scheme announced in the budget, border villages would be made vibrant and centres of tourist destinations. The Government of India has made a special plan for the development of the villages adjacent to the border. The benefit of this Vibrant Border Village scheme will naturally be available to the border villages of Himachal. Friends, Today our focus is on building the best digital infrastructure in the world. We are working on modernization of health services across the country. We are creating critical health care facilities at district and block level under the Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission. Work is underway to have a medical college in every district. Moreover, now the son and daughter of a poor mother can also realize the dream of becoming a doctor. In the past, their dreams of becoming doctors remained unfulfilled if they did not have schooling in English. Now we have decided to promote mother tongue in the medical and technical education so that the child of the poorest of the poor and even the child of the villages can become a doctor without being a slave of English. Friends, The scope of best institutes like AIIMS in the country is being extended to the far-flung states of the country. AIIMS being built in Bilaspur is a direct proof of this. Now the people of Himachal will not be compelled to go to Chandigarh or Delhi. Friends, All these efforts are also accelerating the development of Himachal Pradesh. When the economy is strong, road connectivity, internet connectivity and health services improve, it also boosts tourism. The way India is increasing the use of drones, the remote and hilly areas of Himachal and our country are going to benefit a lot. Brothers and sisters, A strong foundation has been prepared for the 100th year of independence i.e. 2047 in the last eight years. There is only one mantra for these accomplishments during this ‘Amrit Kaal’ and that is ‘Sabka Prayas’ (everyone’s efforts). All should join, unite and grow together. We have to work with this spirit. Our generation has got this good fortune after so many centuries and generations. So, let’s take a pledge that we will play our active part in this call of ‘Hum Sabka Prayas’ (our combined efforts) and discharge our every duty. Today, people are part of this program from every block of the country. Today crores of people across India are connected with Shimla. Today I am talking to those crores of countrymen from the land of Shimla. I extend many good wishes to those crores of countrymen. May your blessings continue so that we can keep working hard! With this spirit, I thank you once again from my heart. Speak with me: Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Thanks a lot!",ছিমলাত গৰিব কল্যান সন্মিলনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-inauguration-of-kollam-bypass-on-nh-66/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%98%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE/,"Sisters and brothers of Kerala, I feel blessed to be visiting God’s own country. In Kollam, on the banks of the Ashtamudilake, I sense recovery from the floods of last year. But we have to work harder to rebuild Kerala. I congratulate you for completion of this bypass, which will make life easier for the people. Ease of living for the people is the commitment of my government. We believe in sabkasaath, sabkavikas. With this commitment, my government gave the final sanction to this project in January 2015. I am happy that with contribution and co-operation of state government, we have completed the project in an effective manner. Since May 2014, when my Government took over, we have given top priority to develop infrastructure in Kerala. Under Bharatmala a detailed project report for Mumbai Kanyakumari Corridor is under preparation. Many such projects are in various such stages of development. In our country, we have often seen that infrastructure projects get stalled after announcement for various reasons. A lot of public money is wasted due to cost and time over-runs. We decided that this culture of wastage of public money cannot continue. Through PRAGATI, we are accelerating projects and overcoming this problem. On the last Wednesday of every month, I sit with all secretaries of government of India and chief secretaries of state governments and review such delayed projects. I was surprised to see that some projects are 20 to 30 years old and are hugely delayed. It is a crime to deprive the common man of the benefits of a project or a scheme for such a long time. Till now, I have reviewed more than 250 projects worth about 12 lakh crore rupees under PRAGATI. Friends, Atal ji believed in the power of connectivity and we are taking his vision forward. From national highways to rural roads, pace of construction has almost doubled as compared to the previous government. When we formed government, only 56% of rural habitations were connected by a road. Today more than 90% of rural habitations are connected by a road. I am sure that we will definitely achieve the target of 100% soon. As in road sector my government has given priority to railways, waterways and airways. National waterway from Varanasi to Haldia has already started. It will ensure a clean mode of transportation and will preserve the environment for future generations. Regional air connectivity has also improved immensely in last four years. The rate of doubling electrification and laying of new tracks has shown big improvement. All this is also leading to increase in job creation. When we construct roads and bridges, we do not only connect towns and villages. We also connect aspirations with achievements, optimism with opportunities and hope with happiness. My commitment is for the development of each of my countrymen. The last man in the queue is my priority. My government has sanctioned a new fund of 7,5 00 crore rupees for the fisheries sector. Under Ayushman Bharat, we are providing cashless health assurance to the tune of Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year, for the poor. More than 8 lakh patients have taken benefit of this scheme so far. The government has sanctioned more than 1,100 crores rupees till now. I request the Government of Kerala to expedite the implementation of this scheme, so that the people of Kerala can take advantage of it. Tourism is the hallmark of Kerala’s economic development and a principal contributor to the State’s economy. My government has worked hard in tourism sector and results are outstanding. India has been ranked at third place in the new Power Ranking in the 2018 report of the World Travel & Tourism Council. This is a major development that augurs well for the entire tourism sector in the country. India’s ranking in the Travel and Tourism Competitive Index of the World Economic Forum moved from 65th position to 40th position. Foreign tourist arrivals in India went up from around 70 lakh in 2013 to about 1 crore in 2017. That is a 42% increase!The foreign exchange earned by India due to tourism went up from 18 billion dollars in 2013 to 27 billion dollars in 2017! This is a jump of 50%!In fact, India was among one of the highest growing tourist destinations in the world in 2017. It had a growth of 14% over 2016, while the world grew at an average of 7% in the same year. Introduction of the e-Visa has been a game changer for Indian Tourism. This facility is now available to nationals of 166 countries worldwide. My government has initiated two flagship programmes to create basic infrastructure around tourist, heritage and religious destinations – Swadesh Darshan: Integrated Development of Theme-Based Tourist Circuits and PRASAD. Recognizing the tourism potential of Kerala we have sanctioned 7 projects in the State under the Swadesh Darshan and PRASAD schemes for an approximate amount of Rs. 550 crore. Later today, I will inaugurate one such project at Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram.I will also seek blessings from Lord Padmanabhaswamy for the welfare of people of Kerala and other parts of the country. I have heard of the phrase “Kollam kandalillamvenda” which means once in Kollam, one never misses home. I also share the same feeling. I thank people of Kollam and Kerala for their love and affection. I pray for a developed and strong Kerala.

Additionally, target technologies under the Scheme will include Discrete Semiconductor Fabs. Under modified programme, a uniform fiscal support of 50% of Project Cost shall be provided across all technology nodes for setting up of Semiconductor Fabs. Given the niche technology and nature of compound semiconductors and advanced packaging, the modified programme shall also provide fiscal support of 50% of Capital Expenditure in pari-passu mode for setting up of compound semiconductors / silicon photonics / sensors / Discrete semiconductors fabs and ATMP/OSAT. The programme has attracted many global semiconductor players for setting up fabs in India. The modified programme, will expedite investments in semiconductor and display manufacturing in India. On the basis of discussion with potential investors, it is expected that work on setting up of the first semiconductor facility will commence soon. An Advisory Committee comprising global experts from industry and academia was constituted to advise India Semiconductor Mission – the nodal agency for the Programme for development of semiconductors and display manufacturing ecosystem in India. Advisory Committee has unanimously recommended uniform support for all technology nodes of silicon semiconductor fabs / Silicon Photonics / Sensors / Discrete Semiconductor Fabs and ATMP/OSAT, which has been accepted by the Government. The technology nodes of 45nm and above have high demand which is inter-alia driven by Automotive, Power and Telecom applications.

Today all of us are privileged to give an impetus to the development of Jharkhand from Deoghar. With the blessings of Baba Baidyanath, today projects worth more than 16,000 crores have been either inaugurated or their foundation stones have been laid. These are going to give a lot of impetus to Jharkhand’s modern connectivity, energy, health, faith and tourism. We had dreamt of Deoghar Airport and Deoghar AIIMS for a long time. This dream is also being realized now. Friends, These projects will not only make life easier for lakhs of people of Jharkhand, many new opportunities will be created for business, trade, tourism, employment and self-employment. I congratulate and extend my best wishes to all the people of Jharkhand for all these development projects. These projects are being launched in Jharkhand, but many areas of Bihar and West Bengal, apart from Jharkhand, will also be directly benefited. In a way, these projects will also give impetus to the development of eastern India. Friends, The country has been working with this approach of development of the nation through the development of the states for the last eight years. The same spirit has been paramount in the last eight years in our endeavor to connect Jharkhand with highways, railways, airways and waterways. The 13 highway projects that have been either inaugurated or their foundation stones have been laid will strengthen Jharkhand’s connectivity with Bihar and West Bengal as well as with the rest of the country. The four-lane highway being built between Mirzachowki and Farakka will provide modern facilities to the entire Santhal Pargana. The Ranchi-Jamshedpur highway will now significantly reduce both the travel time and the cost of transport between the state’s capital and the industrial city. There will be better access to Chhattisgarh from the Palma Gumla section and transporting petroleum products to Jharkhand from Paradip Port and Haldia will also become easier and cheaper. The expansion in the rail network today has also opened avenues for new trains across the region and making rail transport faster. All these facilities will have a positive impact on the industrial development of Jharkhand. Friends, I was privileged to lay the foundation stone of Deoghar airport four years ago. Despite the difficulties in the wake of Corona, rapid progress was made on this project and today Jharkhand is getting a second airport. Deoghar airport will be able to handle about five lakh passengers every year. This will make it easier for many people to have ‘darshan’ of Baba. Friends, As Jyotiraditya ji was mentioning that our government launched the UDAN scheme with this thinking that even those wearing Hawai Chappals could enjoy air travel. Today the benefits of the efforts of the government are visible across the country. Under the UDAN scheme, more than 70 new places have been either connected with airports, heliports or water aerodromes in the last five-six years. Today, ordinary citizens are enjoying the air travel facility on more than 400 new routes. So far one crore passengers have used air travel at very low cost under the UDAN scheme. There are millions of them who saw the airport for the first time and boarded the plane for the first time. My poor and middle class brothers and sisters, who once depended on buses and railways for commuting, have now learned to wear a seat belt in airplanes. I am happy that today the flight from Deoghar to Kolkata has started. Efforts are also on to start flights for Ranchi, Patna and Delhi at the earliest. After Deoghar, work is underway on the construction of airports in Bokaro and Dumka. That is, connectivity in Jharkhand is going to be better in the near future. Friends, Along with connectivity, the central government is also emphasizing on better facilities at important places related to faith and spirituality of the country. In Baba Baidyanath Dham too, modern facilities have been expanded under the PRASAD scheme. When work is done with a holistic approach, then every section of the society and sector gets new means of income in the form of tourism. Such modern facilities in the tribal area are going to change the fate of this area. Friends, The country’s efforts towards a gas-based economy have also benefited Jharkhand greatly in the last eight years. The gas-based life and industry was considered impossible here given the kind of infrastructure that was in place in eastern India. But the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga Yojana is changing the old image. We are making a number of new landmark decisions to turn scarcity into opportunities. The inauguration of the Bokaro-Angul section today will expand the city gas distribution network in 11 districts of Jharkhand and Odisha. This will not only provide cheaper gas from pipes in the homes, CNG based transport, electricity, and many industries, including fertilizers, steel, food processing, cold storage etc. will also get impetus. Friends, We are following the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas. New avenues of development, employment and self-employment are being discovered by investing in infrastructure. We have laid emphasis on aspiration for development by focusing on aspirational districts. Today many districts of Jharkhand are getting the benefit as a result of this. Our government is paying special attention to the areas considered difficult, to the tribal areas surrounded by forests and mountains. Most of the 18,000 villages which received electricity after so many decades of independence were from inaccessible areas. The share of rural, tribal and inaccessible areas was the highest even in the areas which were deprived of good roads. Work on mission mode has begun to provide gas and water connections in the inaccessible areas in the last eight years. We all have seen how earlier better health facilities were limited to big cities only. Now the modern facilities of AIIMS are available to large tribal areas of Bihar and West Bengal along with Jharkhand. All these projects are proof that when we take steps for the convenience of the people, then the wealth of the nation is created and new opportunities for development are also created. This is true development. Together we have to accelerate the pace of such development. Once again, I congratulate Jharkhand very much. I wish you all the very best.

All my cabinet colleagues, experts from the fields of finance and economy, stakeholders, ladies and gentlemen! First of all, my best wishes to you all on International Women’s Day. As we are discussing the budget today, I feel extremely proud to mention that the Finance Minister of a huge country like India is also a woman, who has presented a very progressive budget to the country this time. Friends, Amidst the greatest pandemic in 100 years, India’s economy is picking up momentum once again. It is a reflection of our economic decisions and the robust foundation of our economy. In this budget, the government has taken several steps to continue this momentum of rapid growth. By encouraging foreign capital flows, reducing tax on infrastructure investment, creating institutions like NIIF, GIFT City and new DFIs, we have tried to accelerate financial and economic growth. The country’s commitment to the widespread use of digital technology in finance is now reaching the next level. The 75 Digital Banking Units as well as Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDCs) in 75 districts reflect our vision. Friends, To accelerate the development of India in 21st century, we have to give priority to Financial Viable Models in all our Priority Sectors. The participation of financial institutions is extremely important for the aspirations of the country today, the aspirations with which the country is keen to move forward, the direction in which it wants to move and the priorities of the country. Today the country is running Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan. If our country is dependent on other countries in certain areas, it is necessary to brainstorm about different models of financing in those projects so that our country’s dependence on other countries reduces. An example of this is the PM Gatishakti National Master Plan. We want you to have a central role in the success of the projects related to it. In the direction of creating a balanced development of the country, the Government of India has rolled out schemes like the Aspirational Districts Programme. More than 100 districts have been selected in the country that are below the average of the concerned state. So, we would urge these financial institutions to prioritise all the projects there. These are our aspirational districts which are still behind. Can we bring them forward? Similarly, if we look at Western India, we will see a lot of economic activity there. Eastern India is known for all kinds of natural resources, but from the point of view of economic development, the situation could be improved a lot there. Infrastructure could be improved a lot. Similarly, the entire North East and its development is a priority for us. It is also necessary to think in the direction of increasing your participation in these areas. Today, India’s aspirations are linked to strength our MSMEs. To strengthen MSMEs, we have brought several fundamental reforms and have rolled out new schemes. The success of these reforms is dependent on strengthening their financing. Friends, If we talk about Industry 4.0, then, the result we want may take some time, so what has to be done to avoid the delay? As the world talks about Industry 4.0, we need skill development 4.0 in accordance with its main pillars i.e. Fintech, AgriTech and Meditech. So, 4.0 Skill Development is needed. As these are the main pillars, how can the financial institutions give priority so as to develop these pillars in the light of 4.0? The help of financial institutions in many such areas will take India to new heights in Industry 4.0. Friends, You have seen that when a player wins a gold medal in the Olympics, he brings glory to the entire country. A great level of confidence is instilled in the country too. One person brings a medal but the entire atmosphere changes. Can’t we think of and apply the same spirit in other areas in the country? Can we identify 8 or 10 such sectors and work very hard towards those so that India can take the position in top 3 in those sectors? This is possible with the participation of the private sector. For example, can’t there be construction companies counted among the top-3 of the world? Similarly, we are moving ahead when it comes to the number of start-ups; but can we be among the top 3 in terms of the quality of their products, their uniqueness, and the technological base? Right now we have opened the Drone Sector, the Space Sector, the Geo-spatial Sector. These have been our major policy decisions, which are kind of a game changer. As a new generation of people from India are getting into the space sector, the drones sector, can’t we dream of making a place in the world’s top 3 in these fields as well? Can’t all our institutions provide assistance for the same? But for all this to happen, it is very important that the companies, the enterprises which are already ahead in these fields should be proactive and they should get all the support from our financial sector. We should also have the expertise on how the financial institutions can develop their capability to fulfil this type of requirement. Otherwise, there will be a lot of confusion. Our companies and start-ups will expand only when we increase the Entrepreneurship Initiatives, focus on innovation and new technology, find new markets as well as work on new business ideas. And in order to do so, those who finance them also need to have a deep understanding of these Ideas of the Future. Our Financing Sector will also have to consider innovative Financing and Sustainable Risk Management of new Futuristic Ideas and Initiatives. Friends, You all know very well that today the priority of the country is self-reliance in India’s requirements, and how we can grow more and more in export as well. Exporters have different financial needs. According to these requirements, can you develop your products and services so as to meet the needs of the exporters? If you give priority to them, they will become stronger and with that strength the country’s exports will also increase. Nowadays, there are reports of increasing demand towards India’s wheat around the world. In such a scenario, are our financial institutions paying attention to the exporters of wheat? Is our import-export department paying attention to that? Is the shipping industry concerned about its priority? That is, we need to make a comprehensive effort. So we have an opportunity to present our wheat to the world. If we provide it with the best quality and the best service right from the beginning, then gradually it will become a permanent feature. Friends, The rural economy forms a pivotal base of India’s economy. We cannot deny it, and the rural economy is such a broad base that when we compile it gradually, it becomes huge. It takes small efforts to strengthen the rural economy but the results are fabulous like promoting Self Help Groups. Can we provide comprehensive help to the Self Help Groups, the finance, technology and marketing by being proactive? For example, the Kisan Credit Cards. Can we work on a mission mode to ensure that every farmer, fisherman, livestock rearer can get the credit card? Thousands of Farmer Producer Organisations are being formed in the country today and major initiatives are also being taken by them. In some states even positive results are visible. How to work in that direction? Now let’s consider agriculture. When it comes to honey, earlier no one paid any attention to India. But now we are doing a commendable job on honey. However, now we need a global market. So, how can we work on things like procuring a global market, branding, marketing and financial help? Similarly, common service centres are being set up in lakhs of villages of the country today. If you prioritise these things in your policies, then the country’s rural economy will get a boost. In a way, the villages are getting the biggest benefits of a service centre. Today, no one from the village needs to go to the city for railway reservation. He visits the service centre and gets his reservation done. And you know that today we are providing broadband connectivity to every village by laying an optical fibre network. The government has made a digital highway; and in simple language I would call it a ‘digital road’ because I have to take ‘digital’ to the villages. So, we are building digital roads. We talk about big digital highways but since we need to reach the villages, to the common man, we should promote it as the ‘digital road campaign’. Can we take various products of Financial Inclusion to each and every village? Similarly, food processing is associated with the agriculture sector. Warehousing and agri-logistics are also significant. India’s aspirations are connected to organic farming, natural farming. It is very important to think about how our financial institutions can help someone entering these fields to do something new. Friends, Nowadays a lot of work is being done in the health sector as well. The government is investing so much on health infrastructure. To overcome the challenges related to Medical Education, it is very important to have more and more medical institutions here. Can our financial institutions, banks also prioritise these areas in their business planning? Friends, Global warming has become a vital topic in current times and India has set a target of net zero by 2070. Work for this has already started in the country. To speed up these works, it is necessary to accelerate Environment Friendly Projects. Green Financing and the study and implementation of such new aspects is the need of the hour. For example, India is doing a lot in the field of solar power. India is creating Disaster Resilient Infrastructure here. We are giving priority to Disaster Resilient Infrastructure even in the 6 Light House Projects of the housing sector in the country. Your support is essential for the work being done in these areas. It is currently in the form of a Light House Project model, but if the people working in this type of area get financial help, they will replicate this model and take them to smaller cities. So our technology will start spreading rapidly; the pace of work will increase and I believe that this kind of support is extremely important. Friends, I am sure that all of you will be seriously deliberating on these topics and from this webinar we have to decide actionable solutions. No, we are not supposed to come up with big visions or the 2023 budget today. Instead, how do I implement the budget from March 2022 to March 2023. How to implement it as soon as possible? How to get the outcome? And the government should get the benefit of your everyday experience so that the files are not stuck for months due to a full stop or a comma, delaying the decisions. If we discuss it beforehand, then it will be beneficial. We have taken a new initiative. And like I keep talking of ‘Sabka Prayas’ or everyone’s efforts, this is an example of everyone’s effort. Discussing with you before the budget, discussing after the presentation of the budget. That discussion for smooth implementation is democracy in itself. This type of democratic effort in the financial world; working together with all the stakeholders, the features of this budget, its strength, have been highly appreciated. But I don’t want to stop at the praises. I need your help. Your proactive role is needed. I will also request the state governments if they could frame the required policies before April 1 for the same. The sooner you enter the market, the more people will come to your state; the greater will be the benefits to your state. There should be a competition among the states as to which state can take the maximum benefit of this budget? Which state comes with such progressive policies so that all the financial institutions feel like helping the people there? Let us develop a big progressive ecosystem. Let us take the initiative to try something new. I am sure that experienced people like you who know about the everyday challenges, know the solutions to these problems.

India did not face the kind of vaccine hesitancy as seen in other countries.

The Prime Minister also declared the village of Modhera as India’s first 24×7 solar-powered village. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that today marks the origination of new energy in the field of development for Modhera, Mehsana and the entire North Gujarat. The Prime Minister said that multiple projects ranging from electricity and water to railways and roadways, from dairy to skill development and health have been inaugurated or the foundation stone has been laid. Laying down the benefits, the Prime Minister said that these projects will become a source of employment in the region, and help in increasing the income of farmers and people in the field of animal husbandry, while also giving a boost to heritage tourism in the state. The Prime Minister also extended Sharad Poornima and Valmiki Jayanti greetings to the nation and said that Maharishi Valmiki has introduced us to the ‘Samras’ life of Lord Ram and taught us the lessons of equality. The Prime Minister said earlier Modhera was known for Surya Mandir but now Surya Mandir has inspired Saur Gram and that has made a place on the environment and energy map of the world. Despite several attempts over the centuries to raze Modhera to the ground, now Modhera is becoming the example of a blend of ancient and the modern, he said. “Modhera will always figure in any discussion about solar power anywhere in the world”, he said. The Prime Minister credited the successes in the area of solar energy and electricity coverage to the confidence of the people of Gujarat in the governments at the centre and the state. He said with dedication and far-reaching thinking and clear intention nothing is impossible. The Prime Minister pointed out solar energy will power house lights, agricultural needs as well as vehicles in Modhera. “For a self-reliant India of the 21st century, we have to increase such efforts related to our energy needs”, Shri Modi added. The Prime Minister said that he is working in the direction where the producer and the consumer of electricity are the people themselves. “Use the power you need and sell the excess power to the government”, he added. This will also get rid of electricity bills and will also generate extra income”, he added. The Prime Minister remarked that the norm used to be that the government used to produce electricity and the public would buy it from them, but today the Central Government is working towards policies that allow people to produce electricity by setting up solar panels in their homes and farmers in their fields while also installing solar pumps for irrigation. Recalling the tough times, the Prime Minister said that it was the education of the girl child that got vastly affected by the absence of electricity. The Prime Minister also remarked that the people of Mehsana are naturally good at mathematics and science. “If you go to America, then the miracle of North Gujarat will be seen there in the fields of mathematics. If you go all over Kutch, you will see the teachers of Mehsana district”, he added, “It was the lack of electricity that obstructed their ability to achieve the deserved heights.” The Prime Minister further remarked that Gujarat has stamped its flag in India due to the faith that the people have shown in the government in the last two decades. Recalling the time when the Prime Minister led Gujarat as the Chief Minister, Shri Modi said that a large chunk of the state budget had to be allocated to water as Gujarat was troubled by famine for seven out of ten years. “And that’s why when we came out with the Panchamrut scheme that focused on the water crisis in Gujarat”, he added. The Prime Minister recalled the success of Jyotigram Scheme that began in Unjha to provide electricity to every village for twenty-four hours, and the government had allocated a thousand days to complete the work. Talking about the Sujalam Sufalam Scheme, the Prime Minister expressed immense gratitude towards the farmers of the land who gave away their land for the Sujalam Sufalam Canal that irrigates the fields of North Gujarat today. The Prime Minister further added that the inauguration of water-related schemes today will benefit the health of the families, mothers and sisters. The Prime Minister pointed out that in the last two decades, the government has emphasised connectivity, and with the double-engine government, Narendra and Bhupendra, have become one. Shri Modi pointed out that in 1930, the British had made a road map of the development of Mahesana-Ambaji-Taranga-Aburod railway line, but the subsequent governments paid no heed. “We took out everything, made all the plans, and you can imagine the financial prosperity that it is going to bring”, he added.

Union Home Minister spoke about the recent increase in Covid cases in some states, and about the need to follow test, track, treat, vaccination and ensure Covid appropriate behaviour.

In his concluding remarks, the Prime Minister started with offering condolences on the loss of lives in the road accident in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu.

The Prime Minister noted the collective efforts of centre and state in the fight against Corona. He put on record his appreciation for the Chief Ministers, officers and all Corona Warrior for their efforts. He said that this is clear that Corona challenge is not fully over. Omicron and its subvariants can create problem as evident by the case of many countries of Europe. The subvariants are causing many surges in many countries. He said India has been able to deal with the situation better than many countries. Still, in last two weeks, increasing cases in some of the states show that we need to stay alert, he said. The Prime Minister said that the Omicron wave was handled with determination and without panic and in the last two years, all aspects of Corona fight whether, health infrastructure, oxygen supply or vaccination, have been strengthened. In the third wave, none of the state saw situation going out of control. This, the Prime Minister said, should be seen in the context of the massive vaccination drive. He said vaccine reached each and every person and it is a matter of pride that 96 per cent adult population is vaccinated with at least one dose and about 84 per cent people above 15 years of age have received both the doses. Vaccine, as per experts is the biggest safeguard against corona, he added. The Prime Minister mentioned that schools have opened after long time and some parents are worried by the increased number of cases in some places. He expressed satisfaction that more and more children are getting the vaccine. He said that in March, campaign to vaccinate 12-14 years of age was started and only yesterday, permission has been granted for Covaxine vaccine for 6-12 year old children. “Our priority is to vaccinate all eligible children at the earliest. For this, as before, special campaigns will also be needed in schools. Teachers and parents should be aware about this”, said the Prime Minister. Precautionary dose is available for all adults in the country to strengthen the vaccine protective shield. Teachers, parents, and other eligible people can take precautionary dose, he added. The Prime Minister said that during the third wave, India witnessed up to 3 lakh cases per day and all states handled the situation and also allowed social and economic activity to continue. This balance should inform our strategy in future also, he said. The Prime Minister informed that the situation is being constantly monitored by the scientists and experts and we have to work pro-actively on their suggestions. “Preventing infections at the very beginning was our priority and should remain so even now. We have to implement our strategy of test, track and treat with same efficacy”, he said. The Prime Minister emphasized cent percent testing of serious influenza cases and genome sequencing of the positive cases, Covid appropriate behaviour in the public places and avoiding panic. He also emphasized continued upgradation of health infrastructure and medical manpower. The Prime Minister said that India fought a long fight against Corona with the spirit of Cooperative Federalism enshrined in the Constitution. The Prime Minister emphasized that, in the current global scenario, for the strength of India’s economy, coordination between the central and state governments in economic decisions is necessary. He said that in the conditions imposed by global events, this spirit of cooperative federalism becomes all the more important. He explained this in the context of petrol and diesel prices. The Prime Minister said that in order to reduce the load of petrol and diesel prices central government has reduced the excise duty and had requested the states also to reduce taxes. some states reduced taxes but some states did not pass on the benefits to the people, leading higher cost of petrol and diesel in these states. This is not only injustice towards the people of the state but harms the neighbouring states also. He said that states like Karnataka and Gujarat undertook the tax reduction for the welfare of the people despite revenue loss while their neighbouring states earned revenue by not reducing tax. Similarly, the Prime Minister said that last November a request was made to reduce VAT but many states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Jharkhand did not do so for some reason. The Prime Minister said 42 per cent of the revenue at centre goes to State governments. “I urge all the states to work as a team in this time of global crisis following the spirit of cooperative federalism”, The Prime Minister requested. The Prime Minister also pointed out that with increasing temperature, fire incidents in forests and buildings are increasing. He specially asked for the fire safety audits of the hospitals.

I heartily welcome and congratulate all the countrymen who are witnessing this historic moment. In this historic moment, my cabinet colleagues Shri Hardeep Puri ji, Shri G Kishan Reddy ji, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal ji, Smt Meenakshi Lekhi ji and Shri Kaushal Kishore ji are also present on the stage with me today. Many dignitaries of the country are also present here. Friends, The country has got a new inspiration and energy today in the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. Today we are filling new colors to the portrait of tomorrow leaving behind the past. This new aura which is visible everywhere is the aura of confidence of New India. Kingsway or Rajpath, the symbol of slavery, has become a matter of history from today, has been erased forever. Today a new history has been created in the form of Kartavya Path. I congratulate all the countrymen for the freedom from yet another identity of slavery in this ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. Friends, Today a huge statue of our national leader Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose has also been installed near India Gate. At the time of slavery, there was a statue of the representative of the British Raj. Today the country has also established the life of a modern and strong India by installing the statue of Netaji at the same place. Indeed, this opportunity is historic and unprecedented. It is the good fortune of all of us that we are witnessing this day today. Friends, Subhas Chandra Bose was such a great man who was beyond the trials of position and resources. His acceptance was such that the whole world considered him a leader. He had courage and self-respect. He had ideas and visions. He had leadership ability. Netaji Subhas used to say – ‘India is not a country that forgets its glorious history. The glorious history of India is in the blood of every Indian, in his traditions’. Netaji Subhas was proud of India’s heritage and also wanted to modernize India as soon as possible. If the country had followed the path shown by Subhas Babu after independence, then it would have reached new heights. But unfortunately, this great hero was forgotten after independence. Their ideas and even the symbols associated with them were ignored. I had the privilege of visiting Subhas Babu’s house in Kolkata on the occasion of his 125th birth anniversary. I felt the infinite energy at the place associated with Netaji. Today it is the endeavour of India that energy of Netaji should guide the country. Netaji’s statue on Kartavya Path will become its medium. This statue will become a source of inspiration for Subhas Babu’s imprint in the policies and decisions of the country. Brothers and sisters, In the last eight years, we have taken several decisions which have the imprint of the ideals and dreams of Netaji. Netaji Subhas was the first head of a united India who had liberated Andaman even before 1947 and unfurled the Tricolour. At that time, he had imagined what it would be like to hoist the Tricolor on the Red Fort. I personally experienced this feeling when I had the privilege of hoisting the Tricolour at the Red Fort on the occasion of 75 years of the Azad Hind government. With the efforts of our government, a museum related to Netaji and Azad Hind Fauj has also been built in the Red Fort. Friends, I cannot forget the day when the soldiers of Azad Hind Fauj participated in the Republic Day parade in 2019. They had been waiting for this honor for decades. I had the privilege to visit the place and hoist the Tricolour where Netaji had hoisted the Tricolour in Andaman. That moment was a proud moment for every countryman. Brothers and sisters, Those islands of Andaman, which Netaji had liberated for the first time, were also forced to carry the signs of slavery till some time ago! Those islands were named after the British rulers even in independent India. We erased those signs of slavery by giving Indian names and Indian identity by renaming these islands after Netaji Subhas. Friends, On the completion of 75 years of independence, the country has envisioned ‘Panch Prana’ (five pledges) for itself. There is resolution for the big goals of development and inspiration for duties in these five pledges. These include a call to give up the slave mentality and a sense of pride in our heritage. Today India has its own ideals and dimensions. Today India has its own resolutions and goals. Today we have our own paths and symbols. And friends, today if Rajpath has ceased to exist and has become Kartavya Path and if the statue of George V has been replaced by the statue of Netaji, then this is not the first example of rejection of the slave mentality. This is neither the beginning nor the end. It is a continuous journey of determination till the goal of freedom in mind and psyche is achieved. The name of the place where the Prime Ministers of the country have lived has been changed from Race Course Road to Lok Kalyan Marg. The echo of Indian musical instruments is now heard in our Republic Day celebrations. Every Indian is filled with joy by listening to patriotic songs at the Beating Retreat ceremony. More recently, the Indian Navy has also adopted the symbol of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj by removing the ensign of slavery. The country has also fulfilled the long-standing wish of all the countrymen by building the National War Memorial. Friends, These changes are not limited to symbols only; these changes have also become part of the policies of the country. Today the country has abolished hundreds of laws that existed since the British era. The time and date of the presentation of the Indian Budget, which was following the times of the British Parliament for so many decades, has also been changed. Now the youth of the country are being liberated from the compulsion of foreign language through the National Education Policy. In short, today both the idea and the behavior of the country are becoming free from the slave mentality. This liberation will take us to the goal of a developed India. Friends, Mahakavi Bharathiyar wrote a very beautiful poem in Tamil language about the greatness of India. The title of this poem is ‘Parukkulle Nalla Nadu -Yingal, Bharat nad-a’. This poem by Mahakavi Bharathiyar fills every Indian with pride. The meaning of his poem is that our country India is the greatest in knowledge, spirituality, dignity, food donation, music and eternal poems in the whole world. Our country India is the greatest in the whole world in valor, the bravery of armed forces, compassion, in service to others, in finding the truth of life and in scientific research. Experience every word, every emotion of this Tamil poet Bharathiyar in his poem. Friends, It was the war cry of India to the whole world during the period of slavery. This was the call for our freedom fighters. We have to build the India which Bharathiyar has described in his poem. And its path leads through this Kartavya Path. Friends, Kartavya Path is not just a path of bricks and stones. It is the living path of India’s democratic past and all-time ideals. The statue of Netaji and the National War Memorial will inspire people and instill a sense of duty in them. The government of the country is working from this place. You can imagine how Rajpath would make those whom the country has entrusted with the responsibility of serving the public feel that they are servants of the people? If the path is Rajpath, then how will the journey be for the welfare of people? Rajpath was for the British Raj, to whom the people of India were slaves. The spirit of and structure of Rajpath was also a symbol of slavery. Today its architecture as well as its spirit has also changed. Now when the MPs, ministers and officers of the country will pass through this path, they will have a sense of duty towards the country from Kartavya Path and they will get new energy and inspiration. From the National War Memorial to Kartavya Path, this entire stretch of Rashtrapati Bhavan will transmit the feeling of ‘Nation First’ in them every moment. Friends, On this occasion, I would like to express special gratitude to those colleagues who have not only built Kartavya Path, but have also shown the country the path of duty through the culmination of their labor. I just got an opportunity to meet those workers. While talking to him, I got the feeling that a grand dream of India resides within the poor, workers and common human beings of the country. While shedding their sweat, they make the same dream come alive. On this occasion, I also thank and congratulate all the poor workers on behalf of the country who are giving an impetus to the country’s unprecedented development. When I met these labor brothers and sisters today, I told them that they along with their families would be my special guests on 26th January next year. I am satisfied that today a culture of respect for labor and working people is being developed and a tradition is being revived in the new India. And friends, when it comes to sensitivity in policies, decisions become equally sensitive. Therefore, the country is now taking pride in its labor force. ‘Shramev Jayate’ is becoming the mantra of the country today. Therefore, when there is a supernatural occasion to inaugurate Vishwanath Dham in Kashi, there is a shower of flowers in the honor of the working people. When there is the holy festival of Kumbh in Prayagraj, gratitude is expressed to the sanitation workers. Just a few days ago, the country got the indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. I had the opportunity to meet the labor brothers and sisters and their families who worked day and night in the construction of INS Vikrant. I thanked them when I met them. This tradition of respect for labor is becoming an indelible part of the country’s rites. You would love to know that the workers engaged in the construction of the new Parliament would also be given a place in a special gallery. This gallery will also remind the future generations that on the one hand the Constitution is the foundation of democracy and on the other hand the contribution of workers is also there. This Kartavya Path will also give this inspiration to every countryman. This inspiration will pave the way for success through hard work. Friends, Modernization is the main goal in this ‘Amrit Kaal’ in our behavior, means, resources and infrastructure. And friends, when we talk about infrastructure, the first picture that comes to the mind of most people is roads or flyovers. But the expansion of infrastructure in a modernizing India is much bigger than that as it has many aspects. Today India is working equally fast on cultural infrastructure besides social, transport and digital infrastructure. Let me give you an example of social infrastructure. Today the number of AIIMS in the country has tripled as compared to earlier. The number of medical colleges has also increased by 50 percent. It shows how India is working today to improve the health of its citizens by providing them modern medical facilities. Today new IITs, triple IT and a modern network of scientific institutions are being continuously expanded and prepared in the country. Piped water supply has been ensured to more than 6.5 crore rural households in the last three years. Today, a great campaign is also underway to make 75 Amrit Sarovar (ponds) in every district of the country. This social infrastructure of India is further enriching social justice. Friends, The amount of work India is doing today on the development of transport infrastructure has never happened before. Today record numbers of rural roads are being built across the country along with modern expressways. While the electrification of railways is happening at a rapid pace in the country, the metro is also expanding at the same speed in different cities. Today, many new airports are being built in the country and there is an unprecedented increase in the number of waterways also. Today, India has made its place among the leading countries of the whole world in the construction of digital infrastructure. India’s digital progress is being discussed all over the world whether it is laying optical fiber in more than 1.5 lakh panchayats or new records of digital payment. Brothers and sisters, In the midst of these infrastructure projects, the work done on cultural infrastructure in India has not been discussed as much. Many pilgrimage centers in the country are being renovated under the PRASAD scheme. The work done for the Kashi-Kedarnath-Somnath to Kartarpur Sahib Corridor is unprecedented. And friends, when we talk about cultural infrastructure, it does not mean only infrastructure related to centers of faith. Infrastructure, which is related to our history, national heroes and heritage, is also being developed with equal diligence. Be it Sardar Patel’s Statue of Unity or a museum dedicated to tribal freedom fighters, PM Museum or Babasaheb Ambedkar Memorial, National War Memorial or National Police Memorial, these are examples of cultural infrastructure. They define what our culture is as a nation, what our values are and how we are protecting them. An aspirational India can make rapid progress only by giving impetus to social, transport, digital as well as cultural infrastructure. I am happy that today the country is getting another great example of cultural infrastructure in the form of Kartavya Path. From architecture to ideals, you will also get to see Indian culture here and learn a lot. I appeal to every citizen of the country and invite them to come and see this newly built Kartavya Path. You will see the India of the future in it. Its energy will give you a new vision and belief for our vast nation. There will be a drone show based on the life of Netaji Subhas Babu for three days every evening from tomorrow. Come here with your family and take pictures and selfies. You must also upload them on social media with the Hashtag Kartavya Path. I know this entire stretch is the heartbeat of the people of Delhi and a large number of people come with their families and spend time in the evening. The planning, designing and lighting of Kartavya Path has also been done keeping this in mind. I believe that this inspiration of Kartavya Path will create a flow of duty in the country which will take us to the fulfillment of the resolution of a new and developed India. With this belief, I, once again, thank you very much! Now you speak with me, I will say Netaji, you will say Amar Rahe, Amar Rahe! Netaji — Amar Rahe! Netaji — Amar Rahe! Netaji — Amar Rahe! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram!

He also inaugurated three National Ayush Institutes. The three institutes – All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), Goa, National Institute of Unani Medicine (NIUM), Ghaziabad and National Institute of Homoeopathy (NIH), Delhi – will further strengthen research and international collaborations and will also facilitate affordable Ayush services for people. Developed at a total cost of about Rs 970 crores, these institutes will increase the intake of students by around 400 along with the addition of about 500 hospital beds. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister welcomed all the delegates of the 9th World Ayurveda Congress from around the globe to the beautiful land of Goa and congratulated everyone for the successes of the World Ayurveda Congress. The Prime Minister highlighted that the World Ayurveda Congress is being organised when the journey of Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal is underway. The Prime Minister said that one of the key resolutions of the Amrit Kaal is to ensure global welfare through India’s scientific, knowledge and cultural experience and Ayurveda is a strong and effective medium for that. Referring to India’s G-20 Presidency, the Prime Minister informed about the theme of G-20 ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future. The Prime Minister expressed happiness that more than 30 countries of the world have given recognition to Ayurveda as a traditional system of medicine. He called for more sustained work to ensure wider recognition of Ayurveda. He said that the three National institutes inaugurated today will provide new momentum to the Ayush healthcare system. Dwelling upon the philosophical underpinnings of Ayurveda the Prime Minister said “Ayurveda goes beyond treatment and promotes wellness”, as he pointed out that the world is shifting towards this ancient way of life after going through various changes in trends. The Prime Minister expressed delight that a lot of work with regard to Ayurveda is already underway in India. Recalling the time when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the Prime Minister said that he had promoted institutions related to Ayurveda and worked towards the advancement of Gujarat Ayurvedic University. As a result, the Prime Minister said, “The World Health Organisation established the first and only Global Centre for Traditional Medicines in Jamnagar. Referring to the present government, the Prime Minister highlighted that the separate Ministry of Ayush was established which led to increased enthusiasm and trust towards Ayurveda. He further added that along the lines of AIIMS, All India Institute of Ayurveda are also being established. Recalling the Global Ayush Innovation and Investment Summit that took place earlier this year, the Prime Minister highlighted that WHO was full of praise for India’s efforts in the field of traditional medicine. He also informed that the world is celebrating International Yoga Day as the global festival of health and wellness. “There was a time when Yoga was looked down upon but today, it has become a source of hope and expectations for the whole of humanity”, Shri Modi remarked. Lamenting the delayed global accord, ease and acceptance of Ayurveda in the world of today, the Prime Minister pointed out that advanced science only considers proof as the holy grail. Stressing the need to continuously work toward the documentation of ‘Data Based Evidence’, the Prime Minister said that we had Ayurveda’s results as well as effects in our favour, but we were lagging behind in terms of evidence. He emphasised that our medical data, research, and journals have to be brought together to verify every claim on modern scientific parameters. Throwing light on the work done in this regard, the Prime Minister mentioned the creation of an Ayush Research Portal for Evidence-Based Research data. The Prime Minister informed that data from about 40 thousand research studies are available so far, and during the Corona period, we had about 150 specific research studies related to AYUSH. “We are now moving forward in the direction of forming a ‘National Ayush Research Consortium”, he added. The Prime Minister elaborated that Ayurveda is a way of life too. Drawing an analogy to a machine or a computer that malfunctions due to a lack of knowledge by the end user, the Prime Minister said that Ayurveda teaches us that body and mind should be healthy together and in harmony with each other. Highlighting the speciality of Ayurveda, the Prime Minister said that ‘proper sleep’ is a huge topic of discussion for medical science today, but Ayurveda experts of India had written on this in detail centuries ago. Throwing light on the importance of Ayurveda in the economy also, the Prime Minister talked about new opportunities in the field of Ayurveda such as farming of herbs, manufacturing and supply of Ayush medicines, and digital services. He said that there is huge scope for Ayush startups in these areas. Talking about the opportunities for all in the field of Ayurveda, the Prime Minister informed that about 40,000 MSMEs are active in the Ayush sector. Ayush Industry which was about 20 thousand crore rupees 8 years ago has reached about 1.5 lakh crore rupees today. “This means that there has been 7 times growth in 7-8 years”, he said. He also elaborated on the global growth of the sector and said the current global market for herbal medicine and spices is about 120 billion dollars or rupees l0 lakh crore. “This sector of traditional medicine is expanding continuously and we have to take full advantage of its every possibility. For the rural economy, a whole new sector of agriculture is opening up for our farmers, in which they will also get very good prices. Thousands and lakhs of new jobs will be created for the youth in this,” he added. Mentioning the opportunities in Ayurveda and Yoga tourism, especially for a state like Goa, the Prime Minister said that the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), Goa can prove to be an important beginning in that direction. The Prime Minister explained the futuristic vision of One Earth One Health that India has put forward to the world. “’One Earth, One Health’ means a universal vision of health. Whether it is marine animals, wild animals, human beings or plants, their health is interconnected. Instead of seeing them in isolation, we have to see them in totality. This holistic vision of Ayurveda has been a part of India’s tradition and lifestyle”, he said. He called upon the Ayurveda Congress to discuss how a roadmap of taking forward Ayush and Ayurveda in totality can be created. Chief Minister of Goa, Dr Pramod Sawant, Governor of Goa, Shri P S Sreedharan Pillai, Union Minister of Ayush, Shri Sarbanada Sonowal, Union Minister of State for Ayush, Dr Munjapara Mahendrabhai, Union Minister of State for Culture and Tourism, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik and President of Vijnana Bharat, Dr Shekhar Mande were those present on occasion.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister expressed happiness at being present in the holy land of Dehu. The Prime Minister, referring to our scriptures, said that Satsang of the saints is the rarest privilege in human birth. If the grace of saints is felt, then the realization of God automatically takes place. “Coming to this holy pilgrimage-land of Dehu today, I am feeling the same way,” he said. The Prime Minister continued “Dehu’s Shila Mandir is not only a centre of power of devotion but also paves the way for the cultural future of India.

The Prime Minister noted the pride in India being one of the oldest living civilizations in the world. “If the credit for this goes to anyone, it is to the saint tradition and sages of India”, he said. The Prime Minister remarked that India is eternal because India is the land of saints. In every era, some great soul has been descending to give direction to our country and society. Today the country is celebrating the birth anniversary of Sant Kabirdas. He also noted key anniversaries of saints like Shri Sant Dnyaneshawar Maharaj, Sant Nivruttinath, Sant Sopandev and Adi-Shakti Mukta Bai ji. The Prime Minister said that the kindness, compassion and service of Sant Tukaram Ji are still with us in the form of his ‘abhanga’. These ‘abhangas’ have inspired generations. That which does not dissolve remains eternal and relevant with time, that is the one that is ‘abhanga, he elaborated. Even today, the Prime Minister noted, when the country is moving ahead keeping in sync with its cultural values, Sant Tukaram’s Abhangas are giving us energy. The Prime Minister paid tribute to glorious traditions of ‘abhangas’ distinguished saints of the tradition. The Prime Minister highlighted the teachings that preached against discrimination between human beings. He said these preachings are equally for devotion to the country and society as they are for spiritual devotion. He said that this message underlines the annual Pandharpur yatra of the Warkari devotees. Spirit of Sabka Saath, Sabka Cikas. Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas is inspired by such great traditions. He specifically noted the spirit of gender equality and the Antyodaya spirit among Warkari tradition as an inspiration. “Welfare of Dalit, deprived, backwards, tribals, workers are the first priority of the country,” said the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister credited saints like Tukaram for playing a very important role in the life of national heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. When Veer Savarkar was punished in the freedom struggle, the Prime Minister recalled, he used to sing the abhangas of Tukaram Ji while playing handcuffs like chipli in the jail. He said Sant Tukaram has infused spirit and energy in the country at different times. He also pointed out that ’yatras’ like Pandharpur, Jagannath, Brij Parikrama in Mathura or Kashi Panchkosi Parikrama, Char Dham or Amarnath Yatra, united the diversity of our nation and created the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat.

Therefore, “today when modern technology and infrastructure are becoming synonymous with India’s development, we are making sure that both development and heritage move forward together”, he added.

He also informed that under the Prasad scheme, places of pilgrimage are being developed. Ramayana Circuit and Panch Teerth of Babasaheb are being developed, he said. The Prime Minister said if everyone’s effort is in the right direction, even the most intractable problems can be resolved. He mentioned that today, in the 75th year of independence, the country is moving towards 100 percent empowerment through the saturation of the welfare schemes. The poor are getting connected with the basic necessities through these schemes. He also called for everyone’s participation in the Swachh Bharat Campaign and pledged for keeping cleanliness in every sphere of life. He also asked them to make these national pledges part of their spiritual pledges. He also asked for the push from the gathering for natural farming and popularisation of Yoga and the celebration of Yoga Day. Sant Tukaram was a Warkari saint and poet, famously known for Abhanga devotional poetry and community-oriented worship through spiritual songs known as Kirtans. He lived in Dehu. A Shila Mandir was built after his demise. But it was not formally structured as a Temple. It has been rebuilt in stone masonry with 36 peaks and carries an idol of Sant Tukaram.","প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে দেহু, পুণেত জগদ্গুৰু শ্ৰীসন্ত তুকাৰাম মহাৰাজ শিলা মন্দিৰ উদ্ঘাটন কৰ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-greets-people-on-the-commencement-of-sacred-month-of-ramzan/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B9-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%87/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has conveyed his greetings on the commencement of the sacred month of Ramzan.

This day is a great example of the same concept. Till a few years back, a drone was considered to be a technology related to the Army, or something used to combat enemies. Our thoughts used to be limited to that particular use only. But today we are inaugurating Kisan drone facilities in Manesar. This is a new chapter in the direction of modern farming system of the 21st century. I am sure this launch will not only prove to be a milestone in the development of the drone sector but will also open endless doors of possibilities. I am also told that Garuda Aerospace has set a target of making one lakh ‘Made in India’ drones in the next two years. This will generate new jobs and new opportunities for several youngsters. I congratulate the team of Garuda Aerospace and all my young friends for this accomplishment. Friends, For the country, this is the period of ‘Azaadi ka Amritkaal’. This period belongs to the young India; it belongs to the youth of India. The reforms that have taken place in the country in the last few years have given a boost to the strength of the youth and the private sector. Also, India did not waste any time in apprehensions regarding the drones. We trusted the young talent and went ahead with the new thinking. From the announcements made in this budget to other policy decisions, the country has openly given priority to technology and innovation. Its results are in front of us today. In the present times, we are witnessing the diverse uses of the drones. During the Beating Retreat, the entire nation witnessed a spectacular display of 1000 drones. Today, under the Swamitva scheme, the accounts of the land and houses are being prepared through drones in the villages. Medicines are being supplied through drones. Vaccines are reaching the remote areas. Drones are also being used to sprinkle pesticides in the fields in several areas. Kisan Drone is now the beginning of a new age revolution in this direction. For example, in the coming times, with the help of high-capacity drones, farmers can send fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers from their fields to the markets. People associated with pisci-culture can send fresh fish catch directly to the market from ponds, rivers and sea. The produce of the fishermen and farmers will reach the market in the shortest possible time with minimum damage. Consequently, the income of my farmer and fishermen brothers and sisters will also increase. Many such possibilities are knocking at our doors. I am glad that many more companies in the country are moving rapidly in this direction. A new ecosystem of drone start-ups is being created in India. At present, there are more than 200 drone start-ups operating in the country. Very soon this number will reach thousands. This will also generate lakhs of new employment opportunities. I believe that in the near future, this growing capability of India will showcase India under a new leadership role before the whole world in the field of drones. With that, I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. My best wishes to you all. My best wishes to the prowess of the youth. I congratulate today’s youth for all the start-ups that have come up today, for being daring and taking risks. And the Government of India promises to be your constant support and to walk shoulder to shoulder with you through the policies. It will not let any obstacle come in your way. I wish you the very best! Thank you very much!",গৰুড় এৰোস্পেচৰ দ্বাৰা ১০০ খন কৃষক ড্ৰোনৰ উৰণ উপলক্ষে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-remarks-at-the-session-on-investing-in-a-better-future-climate-energy-health-at-g7-summit-in-germany/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A7%AD-2/,"Excellencies, Unfortunately, it is believed that there is a fundamental collision between the developmental goals of the world and environmental protection. There is also another misconception that poor countries and poor people cause more damage to the environment. But, India’s history of over thousands of years completely refutes this view. Ancient India has seen a time of immense prosperity; then we have also tolerated the centuries of slavery, and now independent India is the fastest-growing big economy in the whole world. But during this whole period, India did not let its commitment to the environment get diluted even a single bit. 17% of the world’s population resides in India. But, our contribution of global carbon emissions is only 5%. The main reason behind this is our lifestyle, which is based on the theory of co-existence with nature. All of you will also agree with this that energy access should not be the privilege of the rich only- a poor family also has the same rights on energy. And today when energy costs are sky-high due to geopolitical tensions, it is more important to remember this thing. By taking inspiration from this principle, we delivered LED bulbs and clean cooking gas door-to-door in India and showed that millions of tons of carbon emissions can be saved while ensuring energy for the poor. Our dedication to our climate commitments is evident from our performance. We have achieved the target of 40 percent energy-capacity from non-fossil sources 9 years before time. The target of 10 percent ethanol-blending in petrol has been achieved 5 months before time. India has the world’s first fully solar power operated airport. India’s huge railway system will become net zero in this decade. Excellencies, When a large country like India shows such ambition, other developing countries also get inspiration. We hope that the rich countries of G-7 will support India’s efforts. Today, a huge market for clean energy technologies is emerging in India. G-7 countries can invest in research, innovation, and manufacturing in this field. The scale that India can provide for every new technology can make that technology affordable for the whole world. The core theories of the circular economy have been an integral part of Indian culture and lifestyle. I called for a movement called LIFE – Lifestyle for Environment – in Glasgow last year. This year on World Environment Day, we launched the Global Initiative for LiFE campaign. The goal of this campaign is to encourage an eco-friendly lifestyle. We can call the followers of this movement Triple-P i.e. ‘pro planet people’, and we should all take the responsibility of increasing the number of Triple-P people in our own countries. This will be our greatest contribution to the coming generations. Excellencies, Human and planet health are interconnected. Therefore, we have adopted the approach of one world, one health. During the pandemic, India found many creative ways to use digital technology in the health sector. G7 countries can help India to take these innovations to other developing countries. Recently we all celebrated the International Day of Yoga. In times of the COVID crisis, yoga has become a great tool for preventive health for people all over the world, this helped many people to maintain their physical and mental health. Apart from yoga, there is a valuable asset of traditional medicine in many countries of the world including India, which can be used for holistic health. I am glad that recently WHO decided to set up its Global Centre for Traditional Medicine in India. This centre will not only become a repository of different traditional medicine systems all over the world but will also encourage more research in this area. It will benefit all the citizens of the world. Thank You.","জাৰ্মানীত অনুষ্ঠিত ‘জি-৭ শীৰ্ষ সন্মিলন’ত ‘এক উন্নত ভৱিষ্যতত বিনিয়োগ : জলবায়ু, শক্তি, স্বাস্থ্য’ সম্পৰ্কীয় অধিৱেশনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা অভিম" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/2nd-india-nordic-summit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi participated in the 2nd India-Nordic Summit along with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark, Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir of Iceland, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson of Sweden and Prime Minister Sanna Marin of Finland.

Kishan Reddy ji, Director General of ICRISAT, dignitaries from the country and abroad, especially from African countries, joining this program through online and ladies and gentlemen present here! Today is the holy festival of Basant Panchami. Today we worship Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge. Since you belong to a field where knowledge, science, innovation and invention are at its core, this event assumes a special significance on the occasion of Basant Panchami. Wishing you all a very Happy Golden Jubilee Celebration! Friends, Fifty years is a very long time. Everyone who has contributed to this 50-year journey deserves applause. I also congratulate all those who have made efforts to take this work forward. It is also a wonderful coincidence that when India is celebrating the 75th year of its independence, your organization is at this important milestone of 50 years. When India celebrates 100 years of its independence, you will be in its 75th year. Just as India has set new targets for the next 25 years and started working on them, the next 25 years are equally important for ICRISAT. Friends, You have experience of five decades. In these five decades, you have helped the agriculture sector in a large part of the world, including India. Your research and technology have made farming easy and sustainable in difficult situations. The display of technology here demonstrates the success of ICRISAT’s efforts. This holistic approach, be it water and soil management, improving crop diversity and production practices, increasing on-farm diversity, livestock integration and connecting farmers to the market, certainly helps in making agriculture sustainable. Your contribution has been instrumental in the growth of pulses, especially chick-pea in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. This collaborative approach of ICRISAT with farmers will further strengthen and enriching agriculture. Today the Climate Change Research Facility on Plant Protection and Rapid Generation Advancement Facility have been inaugurated. These research facilities will be of great help to the agriculture world in meeting the challenge of climate change. You are aware of the changes required in our agricultural practices in view of climate change. Similarly, India has taken an important initiative. While human losses are discussed a great deal in the event of natural calamities due to climate change, the damage to infrastructure cripples the entire system. Therefore, the Government of India has come up with a global level institute for climate-resistant infrastructure which will examine and formulate plans. Today, a similar initiative is being taken for the agriculture sector. You all deserve to be congratulated. Friends, Although climate change affects every inhabitant of the world, it affects most of the people who are at the last rung of society, who lack resources and who work hard to climb up the ladder of development. A large number of these people account for our small farmers. And 80-85% of the farmers in India are small farmers. The issue of climate change is a huge problem for our small farmers. Therefore, India has urged the world to pay special attention to dealing with the climate challenge. Not only has India set a target of Net-Zero (emissions) by 2070, we have also highlighted the need for the L.I.F.E. Mission, that is Lifestyle for Environment. Similarly, the Pro-Planet People is a movement that binds every community, every individual with climate responsibility to tackle the climate challenge. It is not limited to just words, but it is also reflected in the actions of the Government of India. Taking forward the efforts of the past few years, climate action has been given a lot of priority in this year’s budget. This budget encourages India’s commitments to a green future at every level and in every sector. Friends, All the experts, scientists and technicians are well aware of India’s efforts in tackling the challenges to agriculture due to climate and other factors. Most of you also know that there are 15 Agro-Climatic Zones in India. We have six seasons — spring, summer, monsoon, autumn, pre-winter and winter. We have a very diverse and ancient experience related to agriculture. Organizations like ICRISAT will also have to step up their efforts so that countries of the world should get benefit of this experience. Today we are providing drought-proof solutions to about 170 districts of the country. Our focus is on a fusion of both ‘Back to Basic’ and ‘March to the Future’ to protect our farmers from climate challenge. We are focusing on more than 80 percent of small farmers of the country who need us the most. You must have also noted that there has been an unprecedented emphasis on natural farming and digital agriculture in this year’s budget. On one hand, we are focusing on expanding the scope of coarse grains like millets, emphasizing chemical-free farming, while on the other hand, we are encouraging modern technology in farming from solar pumps to farmer drones. This is a very important part of our vision for agriculture growth for the next 25 years of the virtuous period of Independence. Friends, One important aspect of changing India is digital agriculture. This is our future and the talented youth of India can make a great contribution in this regard. There have been relentless efforts to empower the farmers of India with digital technology. There is being the increasing use of technology and artificial intelligence in crop assessment, digitization of land records, spraying of insecticides and nutrients through drones. The ecosystem associated with agriculture research and private agri-tech players is working together to provide affordable and hi-tech services to farmers. The partnership of ICAR and ICRISAT has been successful in providing better seeds, ensuring higher yields and water management to the farmers in the areas lacking irrigation. This success can also be extended to digital agriculture. Friends, We are giving priority to inclusive growth while focusing on higher agriculture growth in this virtuous period of independence. You are aware that the contribution of women in the field of agriculture is very important. Efforts are also being made through self-help groups to provide all kinds of help to them. Agriculture has the potential to bring a large population of the country out of poverty and towards a better lifestyle. This virtuous period will also provide new means to bring farmers out of the difficulties of farming in difficult geographical conditions. We have seen a large part of the country could not become a part of the Green Revolution due to lack of irrigation. Now we are working on a two-pronged strategy. On one hand, we are bringing a large area under irrigation through water conservation by connecting rivers, and on the other hand, we are emphasizing on micro-irrigation to increase water use efficiency in less irrigated areas. When I was looking at all the achievements here, scientists were describing in detail the success of water management and the ‘Per Drop More Crop’ Mission in Bundelkhand. Crops that require less water and which are not affected by water scarcity are also being encouraged through modern varieties of seeds. The national mission that we have started for self-sufficiency in edible oil also demonstrates our new approach. We aim to increase the palm oil area to 6.50 lakh hectares in the next five years. The Government of India is providing help to the farmers at every level in this regard. This mission will also be very beneficial for the farmers of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. I am told the farmers of Telangana have set huge targets for palm oil plantation. The central government will give all possible help to support them. Friends, Post-harvest infrastructure has also been strengthened in India over the years. A cold chain storage capacity of 35 million tonnes has been created in recent years. The government’s Agriculture Infrastructure Fund of Rs 1 lakh crore has also led to the rapid development of post-harvest infrastructure. Today we are also very focused on creating FPOs and the agriculture value chain. By organizing the small farmers of the country into thousands of FPOs, we want to make them an aware and big market force. Friends, ICRISAT has a rich experience of working in semi-arid areas of India. Therefore, we have to develop sustainable and diversified production systems by connecting farmers in semi-arid areas. Exchange programs can also be started to share your experiences with countries in East and South Africa. Our goal is not only to increase the production of food grains. Today India has surplus food grains, on the basis of which we are running such a massive food security program of the world. Now we are focusing on food security as well as nutrition security. With this vision, we have developed many bio-fortified varieties in the last seven years. Now we need to work more to diversify our agriculture, for higher production in our drought-affected areas and develop resilient varieties which give more protection from diseases and pests. Friends, ICRISAT can work on another initiative in collaboration with ICAR and agriculture universities in the field of bio-fuel. You have been working on Sweet Sorghum. You can develop seeds so that drought-affected farmers, or farmers with less land, can grow crops that produce more bio-fuel. There is a need for all of us to work together on how to effectively deliver seeds and build trust in them. Friends, I believe that we will be able to overcome all the challenges related to agriculture with the help of innovative minds like you, people’s participation and the commitment of society. May you be more able to improve the lives of the farmers of India and the world and keep giving better technological solutions! With this wish, I congratulate ICRISAT on this important occasion and its glorious past. I also wish it a bright future for its efforts which would be useful for the honor and pride of the farmers of the country. My best wishes and congratulations!

Namaskar Bengaluru! Namaskar Semi con India ! My colleagues from the Council of Ministers, Leaders of the Electronics and Semi-conductor industry; Investors; Academics, Members of Diplomatic Corps, and Friends, It gives me great pleasure today to welcome you all to the Inaugural Semi-con India Conference. I am glad that such a conference is being held in India. Afterall, semi-conductors are playing a critical role in the world in more ways than we can imagine. It is our collective aim to establish India as one of the key partners in global semi-conductor supply chains. We want to work in this direction based on the principle of Hi-tech, high quality and high reliability. Friends I see six reasons for India being an attractive investment destination for Semi-conductor technologies. First, we are building the digital infrastructure to connect over 1.3 billion Indians. You have all heard of India’s financial inclusion, banking and digital payment revolution. UPI is the world’s most efficient payment infrastructure today. We are using digital technology to transform lives in all sectors of governance from health and welfare to inclusion and empowerment. We are one of the largest consumers of data per capita. And we continue to grow. Second, we are paving the way for India to lead the next technology revolution. We are on our way to connect six hundred thousand villages with broadband. We are investing in developing capabilities in 5G, IoT and clean energy technologies. We are working to unleash the next wave of innovation in data, AI and other technologies. Third, India is headed for robust economic growth. We have the world’s fastest growing Startup Eco-system. New unicorns are coming up every few weeks. India’s own consumption of Semi-conductors is expected to cross 80 billion Dollars by 2026 and 110 Billion Dollars by 2030. Fourth, we have undertaken wide ranging reforms for improving ease of doing business in India. Last year, we abolished more than 25,000 compliances and gave a push towards auto-renewal of licenses. Similarly, digitization is also bringing speed and transparency to the regulatory framework. Today, we have one of the most favourable taxation structures in the world. Fifth, we are investing heavily in skilling and training young Indians for the needs of 21st century. We have an exceptional semi-conductor design talent pool which makes upto 20% of the world’s semiconductor design engineers. Almost all of the top 25 semi-conductor design companies have their design or R&D centers in our country. And Sixth, we have undertaken several measures towards transforming the Indian manufacturing sector. At a time when humanity was fighting a once in a century pandemic, India was not only improving the health of our people but also the health of our economy. Friends, Our ”Production Linked Incentives” schemes offer incentives of over 26 billion Dollars in 14 key sectors. Over the next 5 years, the electronics manufacturing sector is expected to see record growth. We recently announced Semi-con India Programme with a total outlay of over 10 billion dollars. This program aims to provide financial support to companies investing in semi-conductors, display manufacturing and design ecosystem. We are aware that in order for a semi-conductor ecosystem to flourish, it is necessary to ensure adequate support from the Government. Allow me to put our approach in the language of semi-conductors itself. In earlier times, industries were ready to do their work but the government was like a ”Not Gate”. When any input flows into the ”Not Gate”, it gets negated. So many needless compliances and no ‘ease of doing business.’ But, we understand that the government must be like the ”And Gate”. While the industry works hard, the government must work even harder. I would like to assure you that we will continue to support the industry in future as well. We have taken care to see that the Semi-con India programme addresses various parts of the eco-system such as semi-conductor fab, display fab, Design, Assembly, Test, Marking and Packaging of semi-conductors, Friends, A new world order is forming and we must seize this opportunity. We have worked hard over the last few years to create an environment that encourages growth. India has the appetite for tech and risk-taking. We have put the odds in your favour as far as possible through a supportive policy environment. We have shown that India means business! Now, it’s over to you. Friends, I look forward to practical suggestions from all of you about how we can move towards an India that is a hub for Semi-conductors for the world in the coming years. Through this Conference we aim to engage with domain experts. We will work with stake-holders to understand what more can be done to build a vibrant semi-conductor ecosystem. I am confident that this conference will have rich deliberations which will help steer India into a new future. Thank you. Thank you very much.

He cited Swachh Bharat Mission or the waste to wealth related programme, reduction of single use plastic, one sun one earth or ethanol blending programme as examples of multi-dimensional efforts by India for preservation of environment. The Prime Minister noted that India’s efforts to protect the environment have been multifaceted. India is making this effort when India’s role in climate change is negligible. Large modern countries of the world are not only exploiting more and more resources of the earth, but maximum carbon emission goes to their account. The Prime Minister said that the average carbon footprint of the world is about 4 ton per person per annum compared to just about 0.5 ton per person per annum in India. He said that India is working on a long term vision in collaboration with the International community on protecting the Environment and established organizations like Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, International Solar Alliance. The Prime MInister reiterated India’s goal of Net-Zero by 2070. The Prime Minister informed that to save the soil, we have focused on five main things. First- How to make the soil chemical free. Second- How to save the organisms that live in the soil, which are called Soil Organic Matter in technical language. Third- How to maintain soil moisture, how to increase the availability of water till it. Fourth- How to remove the damage that is happening to the soil due to less groundwater. And fifth, how to stop the continuous erosion of soil due to the reduction of forests. He said main efforts are being undertaken in the agriculture sector to alleviate the problem of soil issues. The Prime Minister said earlier, the farmers of our country lacked information about the type of soil, deficiency in soil, how much water is there. To overcome this problem, a huge campaign was launched to give soil health cards to the farmers in the country. The Prime Minister informed that the Government is connecting the people of the country with water conservation through campaigns like catch the rain. In March this year itself, a campaign to conserve 13 big rivers has also started in the country. In this, along with reducing pollution in water, work is also being done to plant forests on the banks of rivers. Estimates are that this will add a forest cover of 7400 sq km which will add to the increase of 20 thousand sqkm forest cover in India that has been added in the last 8 years, he said. The Prime Minister noted that the policies related to Biodiversity and Wildlife that India is following today have also led to a record increase in the number of wildlife. Today whether it is tiger, lion, leopard or elephant, the number of all is increasing in the country. The Prime MInister noted, for the first time initiatives relating to swachhta, self-reliance in fuel. Increasing the income of farmers and soil health related programmes were interconnected.He gave the example of Goberdhan Yojna. The Prime Minister said that in natural farming, there is a big solution to some of our biggest problems. He said, in this year’s budget, the Government has decided to encourage natural farming in the villages situated on the banks of Ganga which will make a huge corridor of natural farming. This will not only make our farms chemical free but the Namami Gange campaign will also gain new strength. The Prime MInister informed that India is working on the goal of restoring 26 million hectare land by 2030. He said adoption of BS VI norms, LED bulb campaign. The Prime Minister further informed that India has achieved the target of sourcing 40% of our installed power generation capacity from non-fossil-fuel 9 years ahead of schedule. Solar energy capacity has increased by 18 times and policies like Hydrogen Mission and Circular economy related policies, scrappage policy are examples of our commitment to environment protection, he said. The Prime Minister disclosed that today, India has achieved the target of 10 percent ethanol blending, 5 months ahead of schedule. Elaborating on the enormity of the achievement, the Prime Minister said that in 2014 ethanol blending was at 1.5 percent. There are three clear benefits of achieving this goal, he explained. First, it has led to a reduction of 27 lakh tonnes of carbon emission. Second, it has saved foreign exchange worth 41 thousand crore and thirdly, farmers of the country have earned 40 thousand 600 crores in the last 8 years due to increase in ethanol blending. The Prime Minister complimented the people, farmers and oil companies of the country on this achievement. The Prime MInister said that due to PM National GatiShakti Master plan logistics system and transport system will be strengthened and that will lead to reduction of pollution. Multi-modal connectivity work on more than 100 waterways will also help in reducing pollution. The Prime Minister attracted the attention of the audience on the aspect of green jobs. India’s momentum on environment conservation is creating opportunities for a large number of green jobs, he said. He asked for increasing awareness regarding environment and soil protection and concluded by calling for a people’s movement for creating 75 Amrit Sarovars in every district. ‘Save Soil Movement’ is a global movement to increase awareness about deteriorating soil health and to bring about a conscious response to improve it. The movement was started by Sadhguru in March 2022, who embarked on a 100-day motorcycle journey passing through 27 countries. 5th June marks the 75th day of the 100-day journey. Prime Minister’s participation in the programme will reflect the shared concerns and commitment to improving the soil health in India.",‘ইশা ফাউণ্ডেশ্যন’য়ে অনুষ্ঠিত কৰা ‘ছেভ ছইল’ কাৰ্যক্ৰমত ভাষণ দিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-bows-to-freedom-fighter-pasumpon-muthuramalinga-thevar-on-the-occasion-of-his-guru-pooja/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%9C/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has paid tributes to freedom fighter, Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar on the occasion of his Guru Pooja.

Under HELP, Blocks are to be awarded twice in a year. Therefore, this delegation of powers will expedite the decision making process on awarding blocks and give a boost to the initiative of ease of doing business. Impact: Under the NELP Policy, ECS considers the Bid Evaluation Criteria (BEC), conducts negotiations with the bidders wherever necessary and make recommendations to CCEA on award of blocks. The CCEA approves the award of blocks. The entire process, including Inter Ministerial Consultations (IMC) is quite lengthy and time consuming. In consonance with the Government initiative of ‘Ease of Doing Business’, it is desirable to shorten the duration of time taken for award of the Blocks / Contract Areas. Under the New Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy’ the competitive bidding will be continuous and blocks will be awarded twice a year. Background: Government of India launched a new policy regime for Exploration & Production (E&P) sector namely Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy (HELP) in 2016 which is paradigm shift from earlier policy regime. The main features of new Policy regime are Revenue Sharing Contract, single Licence for exploration and production of conventional as well as unconventional Hydrocarbon resources, marketing & pricing freedom, etc. Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) under HELP, is main innovative feature wherein investor can carve out Blocks of their own interest and submit an Expression of Interest (Eol) throughout the year. Based on the areas for which expression of interest has been expressed bidding will be conducted every 6 months. Government received an overwhelming response in first Eol cycle of OALP which started on 1st July, 2017 and closed on 15thNovember, 2017. In the first Bid round, 55 blocks, having an area of 59282 sq.km spreading across 11 States have been offered for bidding.

This project has been implemented as part of the vibrant development partnership between India and Mauritius. On this occasion, the two Prime Ministers also took part in a virtual foundation stone laying ceremony for two other projects – construction of a state-of-the-art Civil Service College and a 8 MW Solar PV Farm– also undertaken as part of India’s development support. The event was held via video-conference. The event in Mauritius was held in the Mauritian PMO premises in presence of dignitaries including Cabinet Ministers and senior officials of the Government of Mauritius. Speaking at the occasion, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the vision powering India’s development assistance – defined by the needs and priorities of our friends and respectful of sovereignty, and at the same time enhancing the well-being of the people and bolstering the capacities of the country. Prime Minister acknowledged the importance of Civil Service College project in nation building and offered to share learnings of Mission Karmayogi. Prime Minister recalled the One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) initiative that he put forth at the First Assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) in October 2018 and said that the 8 MW Solar PV Farm project will help mitigate the climate challenges that Mauritius faces through avoidance of 13,000 tons of CO2 emissions. In his remarks, Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth thanked India for wide ranging assistance including financial assistance to Mauritius. He noted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi the relations between India and Mauritius have attained newer heights. The Government of India in May 2016 had extended a grant of US$ 353 mn to the Government of Mauritius as Special Economic Package (SEP) to execute five priority projects identified by Government of Mauritius, among others. These were: the Metro Express Project, Supreme Court Building, New ENT Hospital, Supply of Digital Tablets to Primary School Children, and the Social Housing Project. With the inauguration of the Social Housing Project today, all the high profile projects under the SEP have been implemented. The Civil Service College project, located in Reduit, is being financed through a grant support of US$ 4.74 million, under an MoU signed in 2017 during the visit of Prime Minister of Mauritius Pravind Jugnauth to India. Once constructed, this will provide a fully equipped and functional facility for the civil servants of Mauritius to undertake various training and skill development programme. It will further strengthen institutional linkages with India. The 8 MW Solar PV Farm project involves the installation of 25,000 PV cells to generate approximately 14 GWh of green energy annually, to electrify approximately 10,000 Mauritian households with an estimated avoidance of 13,000 tons of CO2 emissions every year, helping Mauritius mitigate the effects of climate change. Today’s ceremony included exchange of two key bilateral agreements: Agreement for the extension of USD 190 million Line of Credit from the Government of India to the Government of Mauritius for the Metro Express and other infrastructure projects and MoU on the Implementation of Small Development Projects. Despite the challenges posed by Covid-19, India-Mauritius Development Partnership projects have progressed rapidly. In 2019, Prime Minister Modi and the Prime Minister Jugnauth had jointly inaugurated the Metro Express project and the New ENT Hospital in Mauritius in virtual mode. Likewise, in July 2020, the new Supreme Court Building of Mauritius was also inaugurated virtually by the two Prime Ministers. India and Mauritius share close ties anchored in our common history, ancestry, culture and language. This is reflected in the privileged development partnership between our two countries, with Mauritius being a key development partner for India in the Indian Ocean Region. Today’s event, in line with the spirit of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’, marks yet another milestone in this successful, time-tested partnership.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদী আৰু মৰিচাছৰ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী প্ৰবীন্দ যুগনাথে যুটীয়াভাৱে মৰিচাছত সামাজিক আৱাস গোট প্ৰকল্প উদ্বোধন কৰে আৰু ভাৰ্চুৱেল পদ্ধতিত অসামৰিক সেৱা মহাবিদ্যালয় আৰু ৮ মেগাৱাট সৌৰ পিভি ফাৰ্ম প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-requests-all-those-who-are-eligible-to-get-covid-precaution-dose/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has requested all those who are eligible to get Covid Precaution Dose as India began administering Precaution Doses.

The Prime Minister added, “When we are away from our roots, we tend to lose a lot.” He further recalled that in the last centuries, the exploitation of nature was considered to be a symbol of power and modernity. “In 1947, when only the last three cheetahs were left in the country, they too were hunted mercilessly and irresponsibly in the Sal forests”, he added. The Prime Minister remarked that even though cheetahs had become extinct from India in 1952, no meaningful effort was made to rehabilitate them for the past seven decades. The Prime Minister expressed elation that in the Azadi Ka Amit Mahotsav, the country has started to rehabilitate cheetahs with new energy. “Amrit has the power to revive even the dead”, Shri Modi remarked. The Prime Minister further added that this elixir of duty and faith in the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is not just reviving our heritage, but now cheetahs have also set foot on the soil of India. Drawing everyone’s attention to the years of hard work that went behind making this rehabilitation successful, the Prime Minister said that the utmost energy was deployed for an area that is not given too much political importance. He mentioned that a detailed Cheetah Action Plan was prepared while our talented scientists conducted extensive research, working closely with South African and Namibian experts. The Prime Minister further added that scientific surveys were conducted across the country to locate the most suitable area for cheetahs, and then Kuno National Park was chosen for this auspicious start. “Today, our hard work is in front of us as a result”, he added. The Prime Minister reiterated that when nature and the environment are protected, our future becomes secure and the avenues for growth and prosperity open up. Shri Modi further added that when the cheetahs sprint in Kuno National Park, the grassland eco-system will be restored and it will also lead to an increase in biodiversity. Shri Modi highlighted that employment opportunities will increase as a result of the growing eco-tourism in the area thereby opening up new possibilities for development. The Prime Minister made a request to all the countrymen to act with patience and wait for a few months to witness the cheetahs released in Kuno National Park. “Today these cheetahs have come as guests, and are unaware of this area” he remarked, “For these cheetahs to be able to make Kuno National Park their home, we have to give them a few months’ time.” The Prime Minister stressed that international guidelines are being followed and India is trying its best to settle these cheetahs. “We must not allow our efforts to fail”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister pointed out that today when the world looks at nature and the environment, it talks about sustainable development. “For India, nature and environment, its animals and birds, are not just about sustainability and security but the basis of India’s sensibility and spirituality”, he said. “We are taught to care about even the smallest creatures living around us. Our traditions are such that if the life of a living being goes away without any reason, then we are filled with guilt. Then how can we accept that the existence of an entire species is lost because of us?”, he added. The Prime Minister added that today cheetahs are found in some countries of Africa, and in Iran, however, India’s name was removed from that list long ago. “Children will not have to go through this irony in the years to come. I am sure, they will be able to see the cheetah running in their own country, in Kuno National Park. Today a big void in our forest and life is being filled through the cheetah”, Shri Modi said. The Prime Minister remarked that the India of the 21st century is giving a message to the whole world that economy and ecology are not conflicting fields. He said that India is a living and breathing example that economic progress of the country can take place along with protecting the environment. “Today, on one hand, we are included in the fastest growing economies of the world, at the same time the forest areas of the country are also expanding rapidly”, the Prime Minister pointed out. Throwing light on the work carried out by the government, the Prime Minister said that since the formation of our government in 2014, about 250 new protected areas have been added in the country. There has also been a big increase in the number of Asiatic lions here and Gujarat has emerged as a dominating sphere of Asiatic lions in the country. “Decades of hard work, research-based policies and public participation have a big role behind this”, Shri Modi added, “I remember, we took a pledge in Gujarat – we will increase respect for wild animals, and reduce conflict. Today the effect of that thinking is before us as a result.” The Prime Minister further pointed out that we have achieved the target of doubling the number of tigers ahead of time. He recalled when the existence of one-horned rhinoceros was in danger in Assam, but today their number has also gone up. The number of elephants has also increased to more than 30 thousand in the last few years. Shri Modi also pointed out the work done to preserve the flora and fauna of India in the expansion of wetlands. He said that the life and needs of crores of people all over the world are dependent on wetland ecology. “Today 75 wetlands in the country have been declared as Ramsar sites, of which 26 sites have been added in the last 4 years”, the Prime Minister remarked, “The effect of these efforts of the country will be visible for centuries to come, and will pave new paths for progress.” The Prime Minister also drew everyone’s attention to the global issues that India is addressing today. He reiterated the need to analyse global problems, their solutions and even our lives in a holistic way. Mentioning the mantra of LiFE i.e., Lifestyle for the Environment for the world, and the efforts of the International Solar Alliance, the Prime Minister said that India is giving a platform to the world. The success of these efforts will decide the direction and future of the world. The Prime Minister stressed that the time has arrived when we need to assess global challenges as our own individual challenges and a small change in our lives can become a basis for the future of the whole earth. “I am sure that India’s efforts and traditions will guide the entire humanity in this direction, and give strength to the dream of a better world”, the Prime Minister concluded. Background The release of wild Cheetahs by the Prime Minister in Kuno National Park is part of his efforts to revitalise and diversify India’s wildlife and its habitat. The cheetah was declared extinct from India in 1952. The Cheetahs that would be released are from Namibia and have been brought under an MoU signed earlier this year. The introduction of Cheetah in India is being done under Project Cheetah, the world’s first inter-continental large wild carnivore translocation project. Cheetahs will help restore open forest and grassland ecosystems in India. This will help conserve biodiversity and enhance the ecosystem services like water security, carbon sequestration and soil moisture conservation, benefiting society at large. This effort, in line with the Prime Minister’s commitment to environmental protection and wildlife conservation, will also lead to enhanced livelihood opportunities for the local community through eco-development and ecotourism activities.",মধ্যপ্ৰদেশৰ কুনো ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় উদ্যানত বনৰীয়া চিতা মুকলি কৰি দিয়াক লৈ দেশবাসীক উদ্দেশ্যি ভাষণ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-bajrang-punia-on-winning-gold-in-65-kg-freestyle-wrestling-at-asian-games-2018/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%AF/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Bajrang Punia on winning Gold in 65 kg freestyle wrestling at Asian Games 2018. “Congratulations Bajrang Punia for the memorable victory in the 65 kg freestyle wrestling.

First of all, a very Happy Lohri to all of you! Best wishes for Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Bhogali Bihu, Uttarayan and Paush festivals in advance. India’s battle with the biggest pandemic of 100 years has now entered its third year. Hard work is our only path and victory is our only option. We the people of 130 crore India will surely emerge victorious from Corona with our efforts. The same belief is visible from what I heard from all of you. We have been briefed in detail by the Health Secretary about the new challenge in the form of Omicron and the increasing number of cases. Amit Shah ji has also put forth some aspects in the beginning. Today, chief ministers from across India have also presented many important points. Friends, The apprehensions about Omicron earlier are slowly getting cleared now. The Omicron variant is infecting the masses many times faster than the earlier variants. In a country like America, 14 lakh new cases have been reported in a day. Our scientists and health experts are constantly studying every situation and data. One thing is clear that we have to be alert and careful, but at the same time, we have to ensure that there is no panic. During this festive season, we have to ensure that there is no decline in the alertness level among the people and the administration. The pre-emptive, pro-active and collective approach adopted by the central and state governments earlier is also the mantra of victory this time. The more we limit the corona infection, the less the problem will be. We have to continue scaling up our medical infrastructure and manpower with an emphasis on science-based knowledge on the awareness front. Friends, Most of the experts of the world say that whatever the variant, vaccination is the most effective weapon to fight against corona. Vaccines made in India are proving their superiority all over the world. It is a matter of pride for every Indian that today India has administered the first dose of vaccines to about 92 percent of the adult population. The coverage of the second dose has also reached around 70 percent in the country. And there are still three days left for our vaccination campaign to complete one year. Within 10 days, India has also vaccinated about three crore adolescents. It shows India’s potential and our readiness to deal with this challenge. Vaccines are available in sufficient quantities with the states today. The sooner the precautionary dose is given to the frontline workers and senior citizens, the stronger our healthcare system will become. We have to intensify the ‘Har Ghar Dastak’ campaign for 100% vaccination. Today, I also congratulate our healthcare workers and our ASHA sisters, who are busy speeding up the vaccination campaign in the midst of adverse weather conditions. Friends, We must also not allow any attempt regarding the spread of confusion about vaccination. Many times we get to hear that ‘infection is happening despite the vaccine, so what is the use’? There are also rumors about the mask that it does not benefit. There is a great need to counter such rumors. Friends, We have to take care of one more thing in this fight against Corona. We have two years of experience in fighting Corona and there is also nationwide preparation. While devising any strategy, we must keep in mind that there should be minimum damage to the livelihood of the common people and economic activities and the momentum of the economy should be maintained. This is very necessary. Therefore, it would be better to focus more on local containment. It is also necessary to ensure that there is maximum and rapid testing where more cases are being reported. Apart from this, we also have to ensure that maximum treatment is provided in the event of home isolation. Therefore, it is also very important to follow the guidelines and protocols related to home isolation and improvise according to the situations. The better the system of tracking and treatment during home isolation, the less will be the need to go to hospitals. People mostly contact control rooms in the event of detection of infection. Hence, proper response followed by continuous tracking goes a long way in boosting the confidence of the patient. I am happy that many state governments are also making very innovative efforts in this direction. The central government has also developed many facilities for telemedicine. Its maximum use will help a lot to corona-infected patients. As far as essential medicines and infrastructure are concerned, the central government is with every state as always. Many states have empowered health infrastructure by utilizing the special package of Rs 23,000 crore given 5-6 months ago. Under this, more than 800 special pediatric care units for children have been approved in medical colleges and district hospitals across the country and about 1.5 lakh new ICU and HDU beds are being prepared. More than 5,000 special ambulances along with 950 Liquid Medical Oxygen Storage Tanks have been added. Several such efforts have been made to augment the capacity of emergency infrastructure. But we have to keep expanding this infrastructure. We have to put our preparations ahead of every variant to defeat Corona. Along with tackling Omicron, we have to start preparations for any more possible variants. I believe mutual cooperation and coordination of one government with another will continue to provide strength to the country in the fight against Corona. There is one thing which we are aware of and this is a tradition in every household in our country. The use of Ayurvedic products and the tradition of drinking concoctions are beneficial in this season and no one terms it as medicine. But it has its utility. I would also request the countrymen that the traditional products in our homes also help a lot at such times. Let us also focus on that. Friends, You all took your time out and all of us shared our concerns. No matter how big the crisis may be; our preparedness, our confidence to fight and the determination to emerge victorious from our discussions give confidence to the common citizen. And with the cooperation of common citizens, we will successfully overcome this situation as well. I sincerely thank you all for taking your time out. Thanks a lot.",ক’ভিড-১৯ পৰিস্থিতি সন্দৰ্ভত মুখ্যমন্ত্ৰীসকলৰ সৈতে বৈঠকত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সামৰণি ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-visit-deoghar-and-patna-on-12th-july/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%93%E0%A6%98%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE/,"PM to inaugurate and lay foundation stone of various development projects worth more than Rs 16,800 crores in Deoghar Projects will significantly boost infrastructure development, enhance connectivity and give an impetus to ease of living in the region PM to inaugurate Deoghar Airport; to provide direct air connectivity to Baba Baidyanath Dham PM to dedicate In-Patient Department and Operation Theatre services at AIIMS, Deoghar PM to address the closing ceremony of Centenary celebrations of Bihar Legislative Assembly Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to visit Deoghar and Patna on 12th July, 2022.

The launch of Integrated Command and Control Centres in Gangtok, Namchi, Pasighat, Itanagar and Agartala is a welcome step. The urban centres of the North East, with their pool of skilled human resource, have the potential to emerge as growth hubs for the entire region. The Smart City Mission enables cities to identify their potential and challenges. It catalyses smart solutions for the challenges, through public consultation. Smart City Command and Control Centres use digital technology to integrate different service networks. They enable real-time collaboration among departments such as Police, Transport, Power, Water, Sanitation, and Public Safety utilities. I believe that with the system in place, administrators will be able to monitor city operations better and respond in real time. The implementation of Integrated Command and Control Centres is gathering pace across India. As on the First of March 2019, these Centres have already become functional in fifteen Smart Cities. Work is in progress at fifty other Centres. I am told that the North-East will have its first completed Smart Command and Control Centre as early as October 2019. One of the key components of the system is the CCTV Surveillance system for Citizen Safety. This system is designed to help tackle crime. The Intelligent Traffic Management System will help ease traffic flow. The Solid Waste Management component in the Command and Control Centre will boost cleanliness in these cities. Smart Street Lighting will make our streets safer and citizen friendly. It will also improve energy efficiency through the conversion to LED systems. Smart cities are also installing Public-Address Systems and Variable Message Signs to communicate important civic information. Digital access is an important component of Digital India Mission. Public Wi-Fi system will provide free internet access to Citizens. The North-East is an environmentally sensitive region. The Environmental Monitoring System and Disaster Management modules will give real time information to Citizens and Government. It will help improve the overall quality of life of Citizens. As cities start implementing and expanding the different elements of this system, they will be able to improve Ease of Living for their citizens. I am told that there are over 500 projects with a total worth of nearly 15,000 crore rupees in the ten Smart Cities in the North East. Work orders have already been issued for 59 of these projects. I am happy to see Namchi in Sikkim, begin work on its Integrated Water Supply projects, LED Street lights and footpaths. Water is becoming a huge challenge in our hill cities. Gangtok has started work on rain water harvesting. It has also undertaken projects to construct multi-level car parks with Smart Parking features to ease traffic congestion. Agartala has its own unique challenges due to its saucer-shaped geography that makes it vulnerable to floods. The city administration has taken up projects to manage the same under the Smart Cities Mission. Itanagar has plans to improve its city road network through its Smart Roads and Intelligent Traffic and Transport Management system. Pasighat is addressing the challenges of housing, energy management and business development through key Smart City projects. So, each city has identified its key problems and is moving towards finding solutions to these problems. I am happy to note that the other five North Eastern cities of Guwahati, Aizawl Kohima, Imphal and Shillong are also moving in this direction. Project implementation under the Smart Cities Mission is now gathering pace. I am confident that we are fast progressing towards urban transformation of our North Eastern cities. This will improve quality of life and boost economic development of the region.","ভিডিঅ’ কনফাৰেন্সৰ মাধ্যমেৰে ছিকিম, অৰুণাচল প্ৰদেশ আৰু ত্ৰিপুৰাতইন্টিগ্ৰেটেডকামাণ্ড এণ্ড কন্ট্ৰ’ল চেন্টাৰৰ আধাৰশিলা মুকলি অনুষ্ঠানতপ্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-visit-lucknow-on-28th-and-29th-july/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%AE-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%AF-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8C-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, will visit Lucknow on 28th and 29th July.

I heartily congratulate all of you on this important program of Sri Aurobindo’s 150th birth anniversary. I also extend my best wishes to all the countrymen on this auspicious occasion. Sri Aurobindo’s 150th birth anniversary is a historic occasion for the entire country. The country had resolved to celebrate this entire year especially in order to take his inspirations and ideas to our new generation. A special high level committee was constituted in this regard. Several programs are also being organized under the aegis of the Ministry of Culture. As part of this, today the nation is paying him a grateful tribute on the land of Puducherry, where Maharishi spent considerable time. Today a commemorative coin and postal stamp on Sri Aurobindo has also been released. I am sure that the efforts of the nation drawing inspiration from the life and teachings of Sri Aurobindo will give new energy and strength to our resolutions. Friends, Several amazing events happen simultaneously in the same period several times during history. But, these are generally considered to be just a coincidence. I believe there is some ‘Yoga Shakti’ behind such coincidences. ‘Yoga Shakti’ means a collective power, a power that unites all! You see, there have been many such great personalities in the history of India, who strengthened the spirit of freedom and revived the soul. Three of these great men are — Sri Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi — in whose lives the most important events happened at the same time. These incidents changed the lives of these great men and also brought major changes in the nation. Sri Aurobindo returned to India from England in 1893 after 14 years. It was only in 1893 that Swami Vivekananda went to America for his famous speech at the Parliament of World Religions. And, in the same year, Gandhiji went to South Africa from where his journey to become Mahatma Gandhi began, and later the country got the freedom fighter in him. Brothers and sisters, Today, once again our India is witnessing many such coincidences simultaneously. When the country completed 75 years of its independence, our journey to ‘Amrit Kaal’ (golden period) began and at the same time we are celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo. In this period, we have been witness to occasions like the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. When motivation and action are combined, even seemingly impossible goals are inevitably accomplished. The nation’s successes in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence and the resolve of ‘Sabka Prayas’ (everyone’s effort) are proof of this. Friends, The life of Sri Aurobindo is a reflection of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’. He was born in Bengal but he was proficient in many languages including Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi and Sanskrit. Although he was born in Bengal, he spent most of his life in Gujarat and Puducherry. Wherever he went, he left a deep impression of his personality. Today, wherever you go in any part of the country, you will find Maharishi Aurobindo’s ashrams, his followers and admirers. He showed us that when we become aware of our traditions and culture and begin to live through them, our diversity becomes a natural celebration of our lives. Friends, This is a great inspiration for the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. What can be a better encouragement for ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’? A few days back. I went to Kashi. I was privileged to be a part of the Kasi-Tamil Sangamam program there. This is a wonderful event. We got to see in that festival how India is imperishable and steadfast through its tradition and culture. It was seen in Kashi-Tamil Sangamam what today’s youth thinks. Today, the youth of the whole country is inspired by the national policy of ‘Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat’, leaving behind the politics that discriminate on the basis of language and dress. Today, when we are remembering Sri Aurobindo and celebrating the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ of independence, then we have to expand the spirit of Kashi-Tamil Sangamam. Friends, We find the soul of India and the fundamental philosophy of India’s development journey if we look closely at the life of Maharishi Aurobindo. Aurobindo was such a personality whose life had a modern scientific temper, political resistance and ‘Brahma Bodh’ (a sense of the divine) as well. He was educated in the best institutions of England. He got the most modern environment of that era. He himself embraced modernity with an equal open mind. But, when the same Aurobindo returns to the country, he becomes the hero of resistance to British rule. He actively participated in the freedom struggle for the independence of the country. He was one of the first freedom fighters who openly talked about complete Swaraj and openly criticized the pro-British policies of the Congress. He had said- “If we want to rebuild our nation, we have to stop pleading like a crying baby before the British Parliament”. Aurobindo recruited the youth and gave the slogan – ‘No compromise’ during the partition of Bengal. He printed pamphlets named ‘Bhavani Mandir’ and made people surrounded by despair see the cultural nation. Such ideological clarity, such cultural firmness and patriotism! This is the reason why the great freedom fighters of that era used to consider Sri Aurobindo as their source of inspiration. Revolutionaries like Netaji Subhas drew inspiration from him regarding their resolutions. On the other hand, when you look into the intellectual and spiritual depth of his life, you will find an equally serious and mindful sage. He would discourse on serious topics like soul and God and explain ‘Brahma Tatva’ and Upanishads. He added social service in the philosophy of soul and God. You can easily learn from the words of Sri Aurobindo how to connect with God. This is the whole character of India, in which there is material strength of ‘Artha’ (commerce) and ‘Kaam’ (service), in which there is wonderful devotion to ‘Dharma’ (duty), and there is salvation i.e., realization of spirituality. Therefore, when the country is once again moving towards its reorganization in the ‘Amrit Kaal’, this totality is reflected in our ‘Panch Prana’ (five pledges). Today we are accepting and adopting all modern ideas and best practices to make a developed India. We are working with the mantra of ‘India First’ without any compromise. And at the same time, we are presenting our heritage and identity with pride before the entire world. Brothers and sisters, The life of Maharishi Aurobindo introduces us to another strength of India that India possesses which is also one of the five pledges -“Freedom from the mentality of slavery”. Maharishi Aurobindo’s father, initially under English influence, wanted to keep him completely away from India and Indian culture. He remained completely cut off from the country as he was thousands of miles away from India in an English environment. But Aurobindo emerged as the loudest voice of Indian culture after he returned to India and studied the Gita in prison. He studied the scriptures. He translated texts from Ramayana, Mahabharata and Upanishads to Kalidas, Bhavabhuti and Bharatthari. People started seeing India in the thoughts of Aurobindo who himself was kept away from Indianness in his youth. This is the real strength of India and Indianness. No matter how much someone tries to erase it and remove it from within us, India is that immortal seed which may be suppressed a little under adverse circumstances; may wither a little, but it cannot die; it is immortal. Because, India is the most refined idea of human civilization, the most natural voice of humanity. India was immortal even in the time of Maharishi Aurobindo, and it is immortal even today in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of freedom. Today the youth of India is taking pride in its culture. There are dire challenges in the world today. India’s role in overcoming these challenges is important. Therefore, we have to prepare ourselves by taking inspiration from Maharishi Aurobindo and create a developed India by ‘Sabka Prayas’. Saluting Maharishi Aurobindo once again, many thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart!",শ্ৰী অৰবিন্দৰ ১৫০তম জন্ম জয়ন্তী উপলক্ষে আয়োজিত কাৰ্যক্ৰমত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-press-statement-during-the-state-visit-of-the-president-of-switzerland-mrs-doris-leuthard/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9B%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%9B-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AB%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0/,"Your Excellency, Madam President and distinguished guests, Members of the media, I’m delighted to welcome Madame President and her delegation in India. Excellency, India is not new to you; you have already visited the country several times in the past. However, your India visit as a President is taking place at a time when we are celebrating the festival of completion of 70 years of India’s independence. This is also the time of completion of seven decades of Indo-Swiss Treaty of Friendship & Establishment. We hope that during this visit you would feel the same warmth and hospitality that we have felt during our visit to Switzerland in 2016. I am delighted to see that both sides are keen to maintain deep relations at all levels. Friends, Today, we had a comprehensive and meaningful discussion on bilateral, regional and global issues. Our strong bilateral relations have progressed further through this visit. The issues like disarmament and geographical expansion are extremely important for both Switzerland and India. In this context, we are extremely grateful to Switzerland for supporting India’s entry into the MTCR. We also discussed Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement between Indian and European Free Trade Association. The discussion on the provisions of this agreement has already started. It’s a very welcome step. Both the sides have expressed their commitment to complete this agreement. Today, the issue of transparency in financial transactions is a cause of serious concern for the world. Be it black money or dirty money, or be it money laundering or be it the funds linked to arms and drugs. Our cooperation with Switzerland is ongoing to deal with this global curse. Last year, we had signed a joint statement for automatic exchange of tax related information. Under this agreement, the information will be automatically shared with us upon completion of the internal processes of Switzerland. Foreign Direct Investment is a crucial basis for our economic relations and India particularly welcomes the Swiss investors. In this context, we have agreed to continue to discuss about the requirement of a new bilateral investment treaty. There are several opportunities for the Swiss companies to become a partner in India’s growth and development. Today, during our discussion with the business leaders of both the countries, we felt that they have a strong desire to constantly increase the business to business collaboration for mutual benefit. India’s traditional medicines, particularly Ayurveda, can play an important role in sustaining the health and wellness. I’m happy that Switzerland has recognized Ayurveda and it is keen to have more cooperation in this important sector. In order to avail benefits from Switzerland in the fields of vocational education and skill, both countries took a joint initiative in the form of SkillSonics; more than five thousand Indians have taken advantage of this initiative. We are willing to extend our cooperation to expand this model. Friends, Climate Change is a big challenge faced by every country. We have agreed on the need to implement the Paris agreement on the basis of principal of common but differentiated responsibilities and also to work collectively for developing the ways to implement it. India will be helped in meeting its growing requirement of clean energy by becoming a member of the nuclear supplier group. In this context, we thank you for the constant support of Switzerland to us in getting the membership of NSG. Initiatives like International Solar Alliance and our efforts to achieve the target of generating 175 Giga Watt of renewable energy by 2022 reflect India’s commitment to clean energy and green future. Excellency, I’m confident that this visit of yours will be helpful in taking our relations to a new height. I thank Madame President for an extremely meaningful discussion and I’m keen to jointly work with you in the coming months. Once again I heartily welcome you and wish you to have a meaningful visit to India. Thank you very much!","ছুইছ কনফেডাৰেচনৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰপতিৰ ভাৰত ভ্ৰমণকালত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ প্ৰেছ বিবৃত্তিৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ (৩১ আগষ্ট, ২০১৭)" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-lauds-new-era-of-medical-education-in-jammu-kashmir/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%8E%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B6/,"Government grants 265 DNB Post-Graduate medical seats across 20 district Govt hospitals in Jammu & Kashmir The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has lauded the new era of medical education in Jammu & Kashmir.

He said that when we speak of a rise, in terms of a nation, it has a very broad context. He said that beyond the rise of the economy, he feels that Rising India implies the rise of self-respect among the people of India. He said that with the collective willpower of the people, even the impossible can be accomplished. He said, today, this collective willpower, is working to accomplish the resolve of New India. The Prime Minister said that contrary to the common perception in many nations, that Governments lead development and change, while citizens follow; in India the trend has been reversed in the last four years. Now citizens lead, and the government follows, he added. He said the Swachh Bharat Mission has become a mass movement in a short time. Citizens are using digital payments as a weapon against corruption and black money, he added. He said the citizens of the country have inspired the Government to take big decisions and implement them. He said the transformational shift in India, is due to the resolve of its people. He said that as a vision, the Government is working to reduce the sense of imbalance at the national level. Through the help of a video, he explained how the UjjwalaYojana is transforming not just kitchens, but entire families. This, he explained, addresses a big imbalance in our social structures. He said that he has returned after spending the day in Manipur, where he inaugurated the Science Congress, laid the Foundation Stone for the Sports University, and initiated several other important projects for the North-East. He said the emotional integration and demographic dividend of Eastern India must be kept in mind. He said, the Government is working with the Mantra of ‘Act East And Act Fast For India’s East.’He said, this includes not just the North-East, but also Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha etc. He gave examples of the gas cracker project in Assam;revival of fertilizer plants in Gorakhpur, Barauni and Sindri; the Jagdishpur Haldia gas pipeline; and the Dhola Sadia bridge, to show how emphasis is being given to kickstarting projects in the region. He said 12 new airports are being constructed in eastern India. The Prime Minister said that out of the 18,000 villages that had been left unelectrified, about 13,000 were in eastern India, and 5000 in the North-East. He said soon, the target of electrifying these villages will be accomplished. He said the Saubhagya Yojana would provide an electricity connection to each home. He said this march of Eastern India, from isolation, to integration, would give strength to “Rising India.” Turning to the health sector, the Prime Minister said the Government is focusing on four pillars in this sector: • Preventive Health • Affordable Healthcare • Supplyside interventions • Mission mode intervention On preventive healthcare, the Prime Minister said that there are toilets in 13 crore houses today, compared with 6.5 crore houses in 2014. He said sanitation coverage has risen from about 38 percent, to about 80 percent. He said Yoga has become a mass movement. He mentioned the Wellness Centres announced in the recent Union Budget. He also spoke about immunization. The Prime Minister said more than 3000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras have been established across the country, where more than 800 medicines are available at low rates. He said the prices of stents and knee implants have also been regulated. He said the Ayushman Bharat scheme would offer health assurance to nearly 10 crore families. The Prime Minister said that to address the shortage of doctors, the number of seats in medical colleges is being substantially enhanced. He mentioned the National Nutrition Mission, launched on International Women’s Day. The Prime Minister explained how the Union Government is working on a Unique Development Model for each sector. On the power sector, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of breaking silos, and finding solutions. He said the Power Ministry, Renewable EnergyMinistry andCoal Ministryare now working as one unit. He said that India is moving from Power Shortage toPower Surplus, and from Network Failure toNet Exporter. The Prime Minister said that today people believe that India can leave its weaknesses behind, and march forward. He said this belief is the foundation of Rising India. He said that today, the whole world is acknowledging India’s rise. He said India is giving a new direction, not just to its own development, but also to development of the whole world. He said India is leading the solar revolution today, as demonstrated by the recently held Conference of the International Solar Alliance. He said that at international platforms, such as G-20 and United Nations, India has raised issues which affect the entire world, such as terrorism, black money and corruption. The Prime Minister said that on the economic front, in the last three to four years, India has lent strength to global economic growth as well. He said the country is performing well on all macro-economic parameters. He said rating agencies are revising India’s ratings upwards. The Prime Minister said that the Government is working with a holistic approach keeping in mind the aspirations of the poor, lower-middle and middle classes.

Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Present with us at this grand event are the Governor of Gujarat Acharya Devvrat ji, our popular Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai, my fellow Parliamentarian C.R. Patil, Minister in the Government of India Shri Anurag ji, Minister of State Harsh Sanghvi ji, Mayor Kirit Bhai, representatives of sports organizations and young players from across the country. Heartiest welcome to all of you! This sight and atmosphere is beyond words. The world’s biggest stadium, the world’s youngest country and the country’s biggest sports festival! When the event is so wonderful and unique, its energy is bound to be extraordinary. The participation of more than 7,000 athletes, 15,000 participants, 35,000 colleges, universities and schools and involvement of more than 50 lakh students in the National Games from 36 states of the country is amazing and unprecedented. The anthem of the National Games is ‘Judega India, Jeetega India’. I will say ‘Judega India’ and you have to say ‘Jeetega India’. ‘Judega India — Jeetega India’ ‘Judega India — Jeetega India’ ‘Judega India — Jeetega India’ These words are echoing in the sky today. Your enthusiasm is reflected on your faces today. This enthusiasm is the beginning for the impending golden future of the sports world. This platform of National Games will act as a new launching pad for all of you. I extend my best wishes to all the players participating in these games. Friends, I also appreciate the people of Gujarat for making arrangements for this grand event in a very short time. This is the potential of Gujarat and the potential of the people here. But friends, if you feel any shortcoming or inconvenience, then as a Gujarati I apologize to all of you in advance. Everyone is amazed and proud to see the kind of spectacular and grand drone show that took place in Ahmedabad yesterday. Such a measured use of technology will take Gujarat and India to new heights like a drone. The success of the first National Sports Conclave which was organized here is also being discussed a lot. I also express my deep appreciation to the Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel and his entire team for all these efforts. The official mascot of the National Games ‘Savaj’ (Asiatic Lion) was also launched a few days ago. Showcasing the lions of Gir, ‘Savaj’ reflects the spirit of the youth of India, shows the passion to hit the ground without any fear. It is also a symbol of India’s ability to rise rapidly in the global arena. Friends, The spaciousness and modernity of the sports complex in the stadium where you have assembled is also a reason for a different inspiration. The Sardar Patel Sports Enclave and Complex is not only the largest stadium in the world, it is also the most unique in many ways. Usually, such sports complexes are limited to only one or two or three sports. But Sardar Patel Sports Complex has facilities for many sports like football, hockey, basketball, kabaddi, boxing and lawn tennis at the same time. In a way, it is a model for the entire country. When the infrastructure is of this standard, the morale of the players also touches a new height. I am sure all our players will definitely enjoy their experiences at this complex. My young friends, Fortunately, the auspicious festival of Navratri is also being celebrated during this time. Gujarat has its own identity as far as the worship of Maa Durga and Garba is concerned. I would urge the players who have come from other states to definitely enjoy the Navratri event here along with sports. The people of Gujarat will leave no stone unturned in your hospitality. Yesterday, I saw how our Neeraj Chopra was enjoying Garba. This joy of celebration binds the Indians and inspires us to support each other. On this occasion, I once again congratulate all of you, the people of Gujarat and the countrymen on the occasion of Navratri. My young friends, The progress and respect of any country in the world is directly linked to its success in sports. The leadership of the nation is provided by the youth of the country, and sports and games are the main source of energy for the youth in building their lives. Even today, you will find that most of the economically developed countries of the world are also on top of the medal list. Therefore, the victories of the players in the play grounds and their strong performance pave the way for the victory of the country in other areas as well. The soft power of sports makes the country’s identity and image manifold. Friends, I often tell sportsmen – ‘Success starts with action’! That is, the moment you start, success also starts the very moment. You may have to fight, struggle, stumble and fall, but if you don’t give up the spirit of continuing with your efforts, then, believe me, the victory itself is moving step by step towards you. The country has started building a new India with the same zeal in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of Independence. There was a time when the world used to go crazy for a global sporting event like the Olympics. But for years, those games were limited only as a subject of general knowledge in our country. But now the mood has changed, the temperament is new and so is the atmosphere. The process of ‘First and Best’, which began in the country in 2014, our youth has maintained that passion in sports as well. Until eight years ago, Indian players used to participate in less than 100 international events. Now Indian players participate in more than 300 international events. Eight years ago, Indian players used to take part in only 20-25 games, whereas they participate in about 40 different sports now. Today, the number of medals of India is also increasing and India is also leaving its mark. Even in the difficult times of Corona, the country did not let the morale of its players down. We provided all necessary resources to our youth and sent them abroad for training. We worked for sports with a sports spirit. We prepared in mission mode for years through schemes like TOPS. Today, TOPS is playing an important role in the success of the senior players to the future creation of the new players. Today, our youth are making new records in every sport and are also breaking their own records. India gave its best performance during the Tokyo Olympics this time. For the first time, Indian players won so many medals for the country in the Tokyo Olympics. It was followed by the victory of our badminton team in the Thomas Cup. The Para-Badminton team also brought glory to the country by winning 47 medals in Uganda. The most powerful aspect of this success is that our daughters are also equal partners in this. Today our daughters are in the forefront in raising the pride of the Tricolor. Friends, The country had the potential to demonstrate this capability in the world of sports even earlier. This conquest could have started earlier also. But the professionalism in sports was replaced by dynasty and corruption. We cleaned the system and instilled confidence in the youth for their dreams. The country no longer just makes plans, but moves forward step by step with its youth. Therefore, efforts like Fit India and Khelo India have become a mass movement today. Therefore, more and more resources and opportunities are being given to the players now. The sports budget of the country has increased by almost 70 percent in the last eight years. Today, sports universities are being built across the country and modern sports infrastructure is being created in every nook and corner. Moreover, efforts are also being made to ensure that the players do not face any problem even after their retirement. Efforts are underway so that the new generation can get the benefit of the experiences of the retiring players. Friends, Sports and games have been part of India’s civilization and culture for thousands of years. Sports have also been a part of our legacy and development journey. The country is reviving this tradition of heritage with pride in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. Now the efforts and enthusiasm of the country is not limited to just one sport, but Indian sports like ‘Kalaripayattu’ and ‘Yogasan’ are also gaining importance. I am happy that these games have been included in events like National Games. To the players who are representing these sports here, I want to say one thing in particular to them. On the one hand, you are carrying forward thousands of years old tradition, at the same time you are giving leadership to the future of the sports world. When these games will get global recognition in the times to come, then your name will be etched as legends in these fields. Friends, Lastly, I want to give one more mantra to all the players. If you want to win the competition, then you have to learn to live with commitment and continuity. We should never consider defeat and victory in sports as the end. This sports spirit should be a part of your life, only then you will lead the dreams and realize unlimited possibilities of a young country like India. You have to remember where there is speed, there is progress. Therefore, you have to maintain this momentum off the ground as well. This pace should be the mission of your life. I am sure your victory in the National Games will give the nation a chance to celebrate and will also instill a new confidence in the future. With this belief, I call for the opening of the 36th National Games.",গুজৰাটৰ আহমেদাবাদত আয়োজিত ৩৬সংখ্যক ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় ক্ৰীড়াৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে আগবঢ়োৱা ভাষণৰ লিখিত ৰূ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-signing-of-inter-bank-local-currency-credit-line-agreement-and-cooperation-memorandum-relating-to-credit-ratings-by-edim-bank-under-brics-interbank-cooperation-mechanism/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B8-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%83%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BF/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given its approval to the signing of the (i) Interbank Local Currency Credit Line Agreement and (ii) Cooperation Memorandum Relating to Credit Ratings by Exim Bank with participating member banks under BRICS Interbank Cooperation Mechanism. As both the Agreement and the MoU are umbrella pacts, and are non-binding in nature, the Board of Directors of Exim Bank has been authorized to negotiate and conclude any individual contracts and commitments within their framework. Impact The Agreements will promote multilateral interaction within the area of mutual interest which will deepen political and economic relations with BRICS nations. Signing of the Agreement will position Exim Bank in the international platform along with large development finance institutions, like CDS, VEB and BNDES. At an appropriate time, Exim Bank, leveraging this umbrella agreement, could enter into bilateral agreement with any of these member institutions to raise resources for its business. As and when an opportunity arises for co-financing in commercial terms, by any two member institutions (say India and South Africa), lending in single currency by both the institutions would also be possible. Background Exim Bank finances, facilitates and promotes India’s international trade. It provides competitive finance at various stages of the business cycle covering import of technology, export product development, export production and export credit at pre-shipment and post-shipment stages and investments overseas. Interbank Local Currency Credit Line Agreement The initial Master Agreement on Extending Credit Facility in Local Currency under the BRICS Interbank Cooperation Mechanism had a validity of five years, which has expired in March 2017. It is understood that some of the member banks (like CDB and VEB; CDB and BNDES) have entered into bilateral agreements for local currency financing under the Master Agreement signed in 2012. Although the current conditions are not conducive to usage, it was useful to keep the same alive as an enabling feature in case a suitable opportunity materializes in future. Exim Bank raises resources in the off-shore market in diverse currencies and swaps to mitigate the risk. The umbrella Agreement would serve as an enabler to enter into bilateral agreements with member banks subject to national laws, regulations and internal policies of the signatories. Cooperation Memorandum Relating to Credit Ratings It would enable sharing of credit ratings amongst the BRICS member banks, based on the request received from another bank. This would be an ideal mechanism to mitigate the credit risks associated with cross-border financing. In future, such a mechanism could also serve as pre-cursor to the proposal of having an alternate rating agency by BRICS nations. The Agreement and the MoU have also been highlighted in the BRICS Leaders Xiamen Declaration made in Xiamen, China on 4th September 2017.",ব্ৰিক্স আন্তঃবেংক সহযোগিতা ব্যৱস্থাৰ অধীনত এক্সিম বেংকৰদ্বাৰা ক) আন্তঃবেংক স্থানীয় মূদ্ৰা ঋণ সীমাৰ চূক্তি আৰু খ) ঋণ মূল্যায়ন সহযোগিতা চূক্তি স্বাক্ষৰৰ প্ৰস্তাৱত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-demise-of-mathematician-and-padma-shri-awardee-shri-rl-kashyap/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9E-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE/,"The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the demise of mathematician and Padma Shri Awardee, Shri RL Kashyap.

He added that the Museum will have detailed information about the history of Indian entertainment industry, along with tales of struggles of various film personalities. Stating that film and society are a reflection of each other, Prime Minister said that whatever happens in the society are reflected by the movies on screen while the images from the films are also mirrored in the society. Talking about trends he said there are many films now which depict both the problem and the solution which is a positive sign as compared to earlier years when only the helplessness was displayed. Mr. Modi said that India is now confident of finding its own solutions to the problems it faces and this he said is a sign of a New India which is confident and capable of taking issues head on and resolving them. The Prime Minister in his address highlighted the global reach of Indian Cinema. In this context he mentioned his interaction with various global leaders who can even sing Indian songs. He extended best wishes to the film fraternity for creating the characters that have captured the imaginations of young generations. He said that due to global appeal of such characters, India’s youngsters are now not just fans of Batman, but also of Bahubali. The Prime Minister said that the Indian Cinema has a big role in enhancing India’s soft power, its credibility and building the Brand India across the world. He said that through Cinema important social issues such as sanitation, women empowerment, sports etc are now reaching to people.

His highness crown prince of Abu Dhabhi visited India in 2016. In 2017, he was the Chief Guest of our extremely important Republic Day function. Perhaps. After several decades, India’s relations with gulf countries have become so deep, so comprehensive, and so vibrant. Today, our relation with the gulf countries is not just confined to a buyer-seller relationship but it has become a partnership. India takes pride in that more than 3 million Indians living in the gulf countries have become partners in the developmental journey of this region. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the gulf countries, I salute them. They have provided this kind of good environment to more than 30 lakh Indians as if it is their second home outside India. Indian community also sowed the seeds of their dreams along with the dreams of local people and also with the same commitment by considering this place as their own home. And, in a way, we have been able to experience a very good partnership among the human groups in the gulf countries. In UAE, people were surprised when his highness crown prince took the initiative of constructing a temple in Abu Dhabi when I came here last time. I would like to express my gratitude to his highness crown prince on behalf of all the 1.25 billion Indians. The construction of a temple! And that too in the form of a bridge of goodwill! We have been raised in a tradition in which a temple is a medium for the humanity. And where a holy place is a catholic agent of humanity, where a holy place is an agent of harmony. And I believe that this temple will be unique in terms of architecture, in terms of technology, and in terms messaging in any case. But an opportunity will also be there for making the world community feel the mantra which we have followed for living our lives that is: the whole world is one family. And because of this thing it will also become a medium for acquiring an unique Indian identity. I would like to tell all those who are related to the construction of the temple that the rulers of this place have shown so much respect for India, have given so much respect to India’s cultural traditions that now it is our responsibility not to leave any loose end, not to commit any mistake. It will be a compelling responsibility for all those related with the construction of the temple, for all the future devotees that there should not be anything that might hurt the high ideals and principles of humanity even a bit. I have this expectation from all of you. Today, the country is scaling new heights of development. It’s a matter of pride for India that today the country has been given a place of particular respect in a global level summit. I have been invited to address the summit. Here, it’s not difficult for you to gather information about India. You have such knowledge about India that if I talk about one thing then you will talk about ten things. And in a way a mini India resides here. There is not even a single corner in this country where India is not represented. And that is why you can experience very well how fast India has been changing and with what kind of confidence 1.25 billion Indians have been moving ahead to realise their dreams. We have also witnessed those days of despair when it was like: friends, let’s leave it, nothing is going to happen. Friends, let’s pack your belongings and go somewhere else. We have been through those periods of despair, apprehension and confusion. There was a time when the common man of this country used to ask, if it was possible ? Whether it will happen? Whether it can be done in our country? And by constantly moving forward from that position the country has reached such a position within four years that today the country has not been asking, today the country has not been thinking whether it will happen or not; whether it’s possible or not? Friends, why should we tax our mind! From that kind of feeling, the inner feeling today has reached this stage where people ask: Modi Ji please tell when this thing will happen. There is no complaint rather there is confidence that if it is to happen it will happen now. In 2014, we were at the 142nd position in the ease of doing business ranking at global level. It means it was bit easier to count if you start counting from the last number. But it would take a lot more time if you start counting from the beginning. No other country in the world has jumped forty-two spots to reach at the hundredth spot in the World Bank’s ease of doing business ranking in such a short span of time. However, no one should be under the impression that we have reached there to halt there. We want to improve further and we want to bring India at par with global benchmarks as early as possible by doing whatever is necessary be it bringing about the changes in the policy, or be it changing the strategy or be it bringing about the changes in the road map for implementation or be it bringing about the changes in the processes for the resources, we will do whatever is necessary. Globalisation is that thing in which all the people of this world fulfill their responsibilities by connecting with everyone and by learning from everyone and by taking everyone along, we have to attain those heights that will be useful for the welfare of the last man or the last country in the world and only then can we show that the whole world is one family in the real sense of the word by living the life as per that mantra “ Basudhaiba Kutumbakam”. The destiny has entrusted India with some responsibilities for the fulfillment of her global role. Today, the world says that the 21st century belongs to Asia. Then it’s not like that it will happen automatically; it’s not like that we will continue to keep our hands like this and it will happen automatically. We will have to work hard in order to make the 21st century a century of Asia even if there are no immediate gains. We will have to work hard keeping in view our long term interests. Mahatma Gandhi used to talk about Shreya (what must be done) and Priya (what is liked by us). It should be our effort that we should move ahead by taking steps in the direction of those objectives that must be fulfilled. We may or may not like them now but these things will be in our long term interests. There are some people who can immediately understand the step that we take. For others it is a problem and they take time to understand. If I replace currency then the poor section of the society immediately understands that it’s a solid step in the right direction. However, the one who spent sleepless nights continues to weep even after two years. For the last seven years it was being debated whether GST law should be implemented or not. It’s been done now. So it’s true that if we move to a new house after living in the earlier house for years we feel very happy during the night that we have constructed a good house, it’s a newly constructed house. However, when we wake up the next morning we go the left side habitually believing that the bathroom was there and we hit the wall. We later realise that it’s a new house and the bathroom is on the right side in this house. Whether everybody has experienced this thing or not? If there are going to be so many problems in one person’s life due to the changes then it’s natural to face hick ups when the system is changed after 70 years and in a country which has a population of 1.25 billion and which has internalised these habits and where two-three generations have spent their lifetime with those habits. Then there will be difficulties when things have to be changed. However, it’s worthwhile to do so. This is the way which was shown by Mahatma Gandhi. And today GST has been moving ahead by getting acceptance as a system by overcoming its shortcomings in such a short span of time. The country is changing. I was in Abu Dhabi yesterday and have signed several agreements. Lower Zakum Concession agreement: this is the first ever investment of an Indian company in the upstream sector of middle-east. The brighter aspect of the partnership has begun. I just wanted to say this. But, I have to be in the next programme so I will not take much of your time. You have turned up in such large numbers; you have showered so much love. My eyes do not even reach the other side. I’m extremely grateful to all of you. I am finishing this visit in Jet speed. I’m going to return after visiting five countries within 70-80 hours. Jordan, Palestine, Abu Dhabi and now I’m in Dubai and from here I will go to Oman. Today evening I am going to have the good luck of meeting the Indian community in very large numbers over there as well. I need to share some of my thoughts with them as well. Once again, I express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you. And I assure you that whatever dreams you have, whatever dreams your own people have in India, we are going to realise those dreams together and ahead of time. I assure you of this thing. Once again I thank you very much.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister started by stressing that the 75 Digital Banking Units (DBU) will further financial inclusion and enhance banking experience for citizens. “DBU is a big step in the direction of Ease of Living for the common citizens”, he said. The Prime Minister informed that in such a banking setup, the government aims to provide maximum services with minimum infrastructure, and all of this will happen digitally without involving any paperwork. It will also simplify the banking procedure while also providing a robust and secure banking system. “People living in small towns and villages will find benefits like transferring money to availing loans. Digital Banking Units are another big step in that direction which is going on in the country to make the life of common man of India easier”, he added. The Prime Minister said that the aim of the government is to empower the common citizen and make them powerful, and as a result, policies were made keeping in mind the last person and the entire government moving in the direction of their welfare. He pointed out the two areas on which the government worked simultaneously. First, reforming, strengthening, and making the banking system transparent, and secondly financial inclusion. Recalling the traditional ways of the past where people had to go to the bank, the Prime Minister said that this government transformed the approach by bringing the bank to the people. “We have given top priority to ensure that banking services reach the last mile”, he said. A huge change from the days when it was expected that poor will go to the bank to a scenario when the banks were going on the doorstep of the poor. This involved reduction of distance between the poor and the banks. “We not only removed the physical distance but, most importantly, we removed the psychological distance.” Highest priority was given to cover far flung areas with banking. The Prime Minister informed that today more than 99 percent of villages in India have a bank branch, banking outlet or a ‘banking mitra’ within 5 km radius. “Extensive Post Office network too was harnessed via India Post Banks for providing the banking needs to the common citizens”, he said. “Today the number of branches per one lakh adult citizens in India is more than countries like Germany, China and South Africa”, he added. Despite initial misgivings in certain sections, the Prime Minister said, “today the entire country is experiencing the power of Jan Dhan Bank accounts.” He informed that these accounts enabled the government to provide insurance to the vulnerable at a very low premium. “This opened the way for loans for the poor without collateral and provided Direct Benefit Transfer to the accounts of the target beneficiaries. These accounts were the key modality for providing homes, toilets, gas subsidy, and benefits of schemes for farmers could be ensured seamlessly”, he said. The Prime Minister acknowledged the global recognition for India’s digital banking infrastructure. “The IMF has praised India’s digital banking infrastructure. The credit for this goes to the poor, farmers and labourers of India, who have adopted new technologies, made it a part of their lives”, he emphasised. “UPI has opened up new possibilities for India,” the Prime Minister continued, “When financial partnerships are combined with digital partnerships, a whole new world of possibilities opens up. A huge example like UPI is before us. India is proud of this as it is the first technology of its kind in the world.” He informed that today 70 crore indigenous Rupay cards are in operation, a vast change from the days of foreign players and the elite nature of such products. “This combination of technology and economy is enhancing the dignity and affordability for the poor and empowering the middle class, while at the same time it is also eliminating the digital divide of the country”, he said. He also praised the role of DBT in eliminating corruption and said that more than 25 lakh crore rupees have been transferred in various schemes via DBT. He informed that he will transfer the next instalment to the farmers tomorrow. “Today the whole world is appreciating this DBT and the digital power of India. Today it is being seen as a global model. The World Bank has even gone so far as to say that India has become a leader in ensuring social security through digitization”, said the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister informed that fintech is at the heart of India’s policies and efforts, and it is playing a key role in shaping the future. Digital banking units will further expand this capability of fintech. “If Jan Dhan accounts had laid the foundation of financial inclusion in the country, then Fintech would form the basis of financial revolution”, he said. Referring to the government’s announcement of the launch of a digital currency based on blockchain technology, the Prime Minister pointed out that “Be it digital currency in the coming times, or digital transactions in today’s time, apart from the economy, many important aspects are associated with them”. He listed the savings, elimination of the hassle of physical currency and environmental benefits as key advantages. The Prime Minister pointed out that paper and ink for currency printing are imported, and by adopting a digital economy we are contributing to a self-reliant India while also benefiting the environment by reducing the consumption of paper. The Prime Minister pointed out that banking today has gone beyond financial transactions and has also become a medium of ‘Good Governance’ and ‘Better Service Delivery’. Today, this system has given rise to immense possibilities for growth for the private sector and small-scale industries as well. He further added that there is hardly any area in India in which product and service delivery through technology is not creating a new startup ecosystem. “Digital economy today is a great strength of our economy, of our startup world, of Make in India and of self-reliant India”, he said. “Today our small industries, our MSMEs are also participating in government tenders through a system like GEM. They are getting new business opportunities. So far, orders worth Rs 2.5 lakh crore have been placed on GEM. Many more new opportunities will now arise in this direction through digital banking units”, he added. “The economy of any country is as progressive as its banking system is strong”, the Prime Minister remarked. He informed that the country has shifted from the pre-2014 ‘phone banking’ system to digital banking in the last 8 years, and as a result, India’s economy is moving forward with a continuum. Recalling the old ways, the Prime Minister pointed out that before 2014, the banks used to get phone calls to decide their functioning. He further added that phone banking politics had made the banks unsafe and made the country’s economy insecure by sowing the seeds of thousands of crores of scams. Throwing light on how the present government had transformed the system, the Prime Minister informed that transparency has been the main focus. He continued, “After bringing transparency in the identification of NPAs, lakhs of crores of rupees were brought back into the banking system. We recapitalized banks, took action against willful defaulters, and reformed the Prevention of Corruption Act.” He further noted that the resolution of NPA-related issues was expedited with the help of IBC while promoting the use of technology and analytics for loans, for the creation of a transparent and scientific system. “Decisions such as the merger of banks were victims of policy paralysis and the country took them boldly. The results of these decisions are before us today”, he added. He informed that a new self-driven mechanism is now being created for the banking system through new initiatives like digital banking units and innovative use of Fintech. There is as much autonomy for the consumers, there is also the same convenience and transparency for the banks, he said while asking the stakeholders to take the movement further. In concluding his address, the Prime Minister urged the small business owners from villages to completely move towards digital transactions. He also urged banks to connect 100 merchants with them for going totally digital for the benefit of the country. “I am sure, this initiative will take our banking system and economy to a stage which will be future-ready, and will have the capability to lead the global economy”, Shri Modi concluded. Union Minister of Finance, Smt Nirmala Sitharaman and Governor of Reserve Bank of India, Shri Shaktikanta Das were among those present on occasion among others. Chief Ministers, Union Ministers, State Ministers, Members of Parliament, banking leaders, experts and beneficiaries were connected via video conferencing. Background In yet another measure to deepen financial inclusion, the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi dedicated 75 Digital Banking Units (DBUs) to the nation via video conferencing. As part of the Union budget speech for 2022-23, the Finance Minister announced setting up the 75 DBUs in 75 districts to commemorate our country’s 75 years of independence. The DBUs are being set up with the objective to ensure the benefits of digital banking reach every nook and corner of the country and will cover all the States and Union territories. 11 Public Sector Banks, 12 Private Sector Banks and one Small Finance Bank are participating in the endeavour. DBUs will be brick-and-mortar outlets which will provide a variety of digital banking facilities to people such as opening savings accounts, balance-check, print passbooks, transfer of funds, investment in fixed deposits, loan applications, stop-payment instructions for cheques issued, applying for credit/debit cards, view statement of account, pay taxes, pay bills, make nominations, etc. DBUs will enable customers to have cost-effective, convenient access and enhanced digital experience of banking products and services throughout the year. They will spread Digital Financial Literacy and special emphasis will be given to customer education on cyber security awareness and safeguards. Also, there shall be adequate digital mechanisms to offer real-time assistance and redress customer grievances arising from business and services provided by the DBUs directly or through Business Facilitators/ Correspondents.",৭৫ খন জিলাৰ ৭৫ টা ডিজিটেল বেংকিং ইউনিট ৰাষ্ট্ৰৰ নামত উচৰ্গা কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-hima-das-on-winning-gold-in-400m-of-world-u20-championships/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%82%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has congratulated athlete Hima Das on winning Gold in 400m of World U20 Championships. “India is delighted and proud of athlete Hima Das, who won a historic Gold in the 400m of World U20 Championships.

It is now the solemn duty of 125 crore Indians to collectively make Shreshta Bharat”. This is the idea that has guided Narendra Modi, even before he became the Prime Minister of India. Narendra Modi believes in honouring national heroes, those who have sacrificed a lot for the unity, security, sovereignty and development of our beloved nation. He wantsour history and heritage to be part of our national pride and consciousness. The National Salt Satyagraha Memorial at Dandi, is one example. It honours the spirit and the energy of the 1930 Dandi March led by Mahatma Gandhi and 80 of his fellow Satyagrahis. The 182 metre tall Statue of Unity, depicting Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, is the most vivid example of this. What is today, the tallest statue in the world, was first envisioned by Narendra Modi while he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. The statue is not only a dedication to the Iron Man of India, who unified India, but also a monument of immense pride for all Indians. For decades, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s family demanded that files relating to events in his life be declassified. Successive Governments refused to take a firm decision. Until October 2015, when Narendra Modi hosted Netaji’s extended family at his residence. “I see no reason to strangle history,” he said, adding that those who forget history, also lose the power to create it. The files were swiftly declassified, and put on a digital platform. In the mid 1940s, the INA trials at Red Fort, had stirred the nation. However, for decades, the building in which the trials happened, lay forgotten inside the Red Fort Complex. On Subhas Bose’s Jayanti this year, the Prime Minister inaugurated a museum in the same building, dedicated to Netaji, and the Indian National Army. The museum forms part of the complex of four Museums which are collectively known as “Kranti Mandir.” Museums dedicated to the 1857 War of Independence and the JallianwalaBagh massacre also form part of the complex. Narendra Modi has also announced an awardin the name of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, to honour police personnel involved in disaster response operations. In the last four years, several other memorials have been made to recall the contributions of many great leaders of our history. One of Narendra Modi’s key ideas is the Panchteerth – five memorials dedicated to Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar. These include his birthplace in Mhow, the place in London where he stayed while studying in the UK, Deeksha Bhoomi in Nagpur, Mahaparinirvan Sthal in Delhi, and Chaitya Bhoomi in Mumbai. While he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, he had inaugurated the memorial dedicated to Shyamji Krishna Varma in Kutch. In Haryana, he unveiled the Statue of Sir Chhotu Ram, a great social reformer. He has laid the Foundation Stone for the Shivaji memorial just off the coast of Mumbai, in the Arabian Sea. In Delhi, the Prime Minister has inaugurated the Sardar Patel Gallery at the National Science Centre. Recently, he dedicated the National Police Memorial to the nation, to salute the courage and sacrifice of over 33,000 police personnel who laid down their lives for the service of the nation. Within weeks, a National War Memorial, will also be unveiled, dedicated to the memory of the soldiers who laid down their lives in wars and operations since independence. Memorials are reminders of sacrifices, of those whose contributions now enable us to live a better life. They are a sourceof inspiration for the present and future generations. These memorials, built under the leadership of Narendra Modi, stand out as souvenirs of nationalism, instilling the feeling of oneness and pride, that needs to cherished and nourished.",স্মাৰকৰ জৰিয়তে ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় গৌৰৱৰ স্থাপন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-expresses-happiness-over-the-inputs-for-this-months-mann-ki-baat-scheduled-for-26th-june-2022/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed happiness over the inputs for this month’s Mann Ki Baat scheduled for 26th June 2022.

This is a historic occasion for India. Today, in this context, the website, theme and logo of this summit have been launched. I congratulate all the countrymen on this occasion. Friends, The G-20 is a group of countries whose economic potential represents 85 percent of the world’s GDP. The G-20 is a group of those 20 countries that represent 75 per cent of the world’s trade. The G-20 is a group of those 20 countries that comprise two-third of the world’s population. And India is now going to lead and chair this G-20 group. You can imagine what a big opportunity has come before the country in the ‘Amrit kal’ of independence. It is a matter of pride for every Indian; it is a matter of increasing ones pride. And I am happy that the G-20 summit, the curiosity and activism about the events related to it in India is constantly increasing. The countrymen have also played a big role in the creation of this logo that has been launched today. We had asked the countrymen for their valuable suggestions for the logo, And I am very happy to know that thousands of people sent their creative ideas to the government. Today, those ideas, those suggestions are becoming the face of such a big global event. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all for this effort. Friends, This logo of the G-20 is not just a symbol. It’s a message. It’s a feeling that is in our veins. This is a resolution that has been included in our thinking. The spirit of universal brotherhood that we have been living through the mantra of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ is being reflected in this logo and the theme. In this logo, the lotus flower is depicting India’s mythological heritage, our faith, our intellectualism, all these together. The contemplation of Advaita here has been the philosophy of the unity of the living being. Through this logo and theme, we have given the message that this philosophy should become a medium to solve today’s global conflicts and dilemmas. Through the G-20, India is giving new energy to the global reputation of Buddha’s message for freedom from war and Mahatma Gandhi’s solution in resistance to violence. Friends, India’s G20 presidency is coming at a time of crisis and chaos in the world. The world is going through the after-effects of a disruptive once-in-a-century pandemic, conflicts and lot of economic uncertainty. The symbol of the lotus in the G20 logo is a representation of hope in these times. No matter how adverse the circumstances, the lotus still blooms. Even if the world is in a deep crisis, we can still progress and make the world a better place. In Indian culture, both the Goddess of knowledge and prosperity are seated on a lotus. This is what the world needs most today. Shared knowledge that helps us overcome our circumstances, and shared prosperity that reaches the last person at the last mile. This is why, in the G20 logo, the earth is placed on a lotus too. The seven petals of the lotus in the logo are also significant. They represent the seven continents. Seven is also the number of notes in the universal language of music. In music, when the seven notes come together, they create perfect harmony. But each note has its own uniqueness. Similarly, G20 aims to bring the world together in harmony while respecting diversity. Friends, It is true that whenever there is a conference of big platforms like G-20 in the world, it has its own diplomatic and geo-political implications. It’s also natural. But for India, this summit is not just a diplomatic meeting. India sees this as a new responsibility for itself. India sees this as the world’s faith in itself. Today, there is an unprecedented curiosity in the world to know India, to understand India. Today, India is being studied in a new light. Our current successes are being assessed. Unprecedented hopes are being expressed about our future. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of us countrymen to do much better than these hopes and expectations. It is our responsibility to introduce the world to India’s thinking and strength, to India’s culture and social power. It is our responsibility to enhance the knowledge of the world with the intellectualism of our thousands of years old culture and the modernity contained in it. The way we have lived the idea of ‘Jai-Jagat’ for centuries and millennia, today we have to bring it alive and present it to the modern world. We have to connect everyone. Everyone has to be made aware of global duties. They have to wake up to their own participation in the future of the world. Friends, Today, as India is going to chair the G-20 Presidency, this event is a reflection of the strength of 130 crore Indians for us. Today India has reached this point. But, behind this is our very long journey of thousands of years, infinite experiences. We have seen thousands of years of opulence and splendour. We have also seen the darkest period in the world. We have seen days where we have been forced to live centuries of slavery and darkness. Faced with so many invaders and atrocities, India has reached here today with a vibrant history. Today, those experiences are India’s biggest strength in its development journey. After independence, we started a long journey starting from zero, targeting the peak. This includes the efforts of all the governments that have been in power for last 75 years after independence. All the governments and the citizens together tried to take India forward in their own way. We have to move forward with this spirit today with a new energy. Friends, India’s thousands of years old culture has taught us one more thing. When we strive for our progress, we also envision global progress. Today India is such a rich and living democracy of the world. We also have the values of democracy, and a proud tradition in the form of mother of democracy. India has as much diversity as it has uniqueness. This democracy, this diversity, this indigenous approach, this inclusive thinking, this local lifestyle, and these global thoughts, today the world is looking at solutions to all its challenges in these ideas. And, the G-20 can come in handy as a big opportunity for this. We can show the world that the scope of conflicts ends when democracy becomes a system as well a ritual and culture. We can assure every human in the world that both progress and nature can go hand in hand. We have to make sustainable development a part of individual LiFE instead of mere government systems and expand it further. Environment must become a global cause as well as a personal responsibility for us. Friends, Today, the world is looking for health instead of cure. With our Ayurveda, our Yoga, about which there is a new belief and enthusiasm in the world, we can create a global system for its expansion. Next year the World is going to celebrate the International Year of Millets, but we have given many coarse grains a place in the kitchen of our houses for centuries. Friends, India’s achievements in many areas are such that they can also be useful to other countries of the world. For example, the way India has used digital technologies for development, for inclusion, to eradicate corruption, to increase ease of doing business, ease of doing governance and ease of living, all these are models and templates for developing countries. Similarly, today India is progressing in women empowerment and women-led development. Our schemes like Jan Dhan accounts and Mudra have ensured financial inclusion of women. Our experience in various such fields can be of great help to the world. And India’s G-20 Presidency is coming as an important medium to take all these successful campaigns to the world. Friends, Today’s world is looking at collective leadership with great hope. Whether it is G-7, G-77 or UNGA. In this environment, India’s role as G-20 president is very important. India, on the one hand, maintains close relations with developed countries, and at the same time understands and articulates well, the point of view of developing countries. On this basis, we will outline our G-20 Presidency with all the friends of the ‘Global South’ who have been India’s co-passengers for decades on the path of development. Our effort will be that there should not be any first world or third world in the world, but only one world. India is working on a vision to bring the whole world together for a common objective, for a better future. India has called for renewable energy revolution in the world with the mantra of One Sun, One World, One Grid. India has launched a campaign to strengthen global health with the mantra of One Earth, One Health. And now our mantra in G-20 is – One Earth, One Family, One Future. These ideas of India, these values, pave the way for world welfare. Friends, Today I have a request to all the state governments of the country and all the political parties as well. This event is not only central government event. This event is organized by us Indians. G-20 is also a great opportunity for us to see our tradition of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’. Events related to G-20 will not be limited to Delhi or a few places only. Each of our states has its own characteristics, its own heritage. Every state has its own culture, its own beauty, its own aura and its own hospitality. Rajasthan’s hospitality invitation is – Padharo Mhare Des! Gujarat’s loving welcome – Tamaru Swagat Che! This love is seen in Malayalam in Kerala – Ellavarkum Swagatam! ‘Heart of Incredible India’ Madhya Pradesh says – Aap ka Swagat hai! Welcome in Meethi Bangla in West Bengal – Apnake Swagat Jaanai! Tamil Nadu, Kadegal Mudi-Vadilaye, says – Thangal Varava Nal-Var-Vahuhaa UP’s request is – if you have not seen UP, you have not seen India. Himachal Pradesh a Destination for All Seasons and All Reasons calls us i.e. ‘For every season, for every reason’.Uttarakhand is simply heaven. This hospitality, this diversity amazes the world. Through G-20, we have to convey this love to the entire world. Friends, I am visiting Indonesia next week. There will be a formal announcement to handover the G-20 Presidency to India. I urge all the states of the country, all the state governments, to expand the role of their state in this as much as possible, take advantage of this opportunity for their state. All the citizens, intellectuals of the country must also come forward to be a part of this event. On the just launched website, all of you can send your suggestions for this, reveal your views. Your suggestions and partnerships on how India enhances its role for the welfare of the world will give a new height to the success of an event like G-20. I am confident that this event will not only be memorable for India, but will also assess it as an important opportunity in the history of the future world. With this wish, once again heartiest congratulations to all of you. Thanks a lot!","ভাৰতৰ জি-২০ নেতৃত্বৰ বাবে লোগো, থীম আৰু ৱেবছাইট উন্মোচন অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ অনুবা" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-recalls-the-sacrifices-of-hazrat-imam-hussain-as-on-the-day-of-ashura/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9B/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has recalled the sacrifices of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) on the day of Ashura and said that he is remembered for his unwavering commitment to truth and his fight against injustice.

Revered saints and all brothers and sisters, Today I am witnessing the holy festival of ‘Bhav Vandana’. Pujya Madhavpriya Dasji Maharaj has beautifully written an inspiring book ‘Shri Dharmajivan Gatha’ embodying Gurudev Shastri ji’s accomplishments, austerity and dedication to society. It would have been a matter of pleasure for me to be amongst you to enjoy this program, but due to time constraints, sometimes one has to forego this desire. Revered Shastri ji has emphasized duty and I am bound by it. I congratulate and express my gratitude on behalf of the hallowed gathering to everybody, especially revered Madhavpriya Dasji, for this effort. There are so many beautiful things in our country that are not chronicled. These remain in memories and are conveyed through generations. But all that should be documented and it should be in the form of literature. It seems Shastriji Maharaj is amongst us. When we read (this book) we realize what Shastriji Maharaj said and we have to follow him. Similarly, we can’t do something which Shastriji Maharaj forbade us from doing. It has so many minute details, especially related to the ‘Satsang’ (sacred gathering) and about a vivacious life which should have the vitality of penance and should always be concerned about society and inspire it. In a way, this literature has been handed over to us in the form of a precious flower so that we can enjoy the ceaseless quest of knowledge. It should now be our endeavor so that our families and generations understand the life of Shastriji Maharaj. There are two things that are very important in the teachings of Shastriji Maharaj which we can call the life mantra. He always emphasized ‘Sarvjan Hitay’ (welfare of all) in whatever we do. The second thing he emphasized was ‘Sadvidya Pravartanaya’. My vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’ is about the welfare of all. Shastriji also said the same thing which is based on the philosophy of ‘Sarvjan Hitay’ (welfare of all) and ‘Sarvjan Sukhay’ (happiness of all). It is also a fact that knowledge, worship and learning have been the principal mantra of our nation for centuries. All our sages were associated with one or the other ‘Gurukul’ tradition and it was a kind of traditional university. In this ‘Gurukul’ tradition, people from all sections of society, children of the kings as well as common people, used to study together. The Gurukul tradition in the Swaminarayan institution is the link connecting our grand past and bright future. This tradition gives religious, cultural and social inspiration to the common people of the country. Gurukul has given so many gems that are now spread across the world. This is the divine vision of Shastriji Maharaj. Whosoever goes to any part of the world and meets the Indian community will come across one or two persons who would proudly claim that he belonged to a poor family and grew up in Gurukul and would credit Gurukul for his growth. What I want to say is that Shastriji did not merely preach or give sermons; his life was a continuous stream of discipline and austerity. As a result, Shastriji Maharaj continues to be with us in a spiritual form. This literature will remind us of Shastriji Maharaj’s teachings and inspire us for our duties. I have a very close relationship with you. I have been visiting SGVP regularly and also attended a practice session held by our former MLA. This is such a sacred place where one feels vibration. I also like modernity and I have seen that our Gurukuls have also been modernized. I feel happy when we see children playing cricket and volleyball under the lights on SG Road where there are religious gatherings, meetings, etc also taking place simultaneously. It was the inspiration and tradition of Shastriji Maharaj and every generation made changes accordingly. Instead of stagnation, they adopted the change. This is the specialty of Swaminarayan to look for a practical solution. We found a way out and such a beautiful outcome is there for everyone to see. There is such a huge “Satsang’ family now. As you know I don’t return empty-handed when I am amongst you, though not in person this time. I will ask something and I am sure Madhavpriya Dasji and Balaswami will definitely support me. Had I visited you personally, I would have said this loudly, but today I would say this quietly to all those who graduated from Gurukul and their families. Our saints had also contributed to creating an atmosphere during the freedom struggle. There was social service in the teachings of Swaminarayan himself which inspired the freedom struggle. Today, I want to make a request to Gurukul, the religious gathering, students and their families on the 75 years of our independence. The world is facing new challenges due to Corona or Ukraine-Russia events. There is so much uncertainty and it is difficult to imagine what will be its effect on us. And the world has become so small that nobody can remain unaffected. Self-reliance is the only way out. We need to strengthen ourselves to meet our requirements and only then the country will survive. The AatmaNirbhar Bharat campaign can be taken forward with inspiration from Shastriji Maharaj. I reiterate one thing and that is Vocal for Local. I want to tell all the students of Gurukul and their families to make a list of things of everyday use and find out the imported products which are there in our households. Many such products are available in our country, but we are not aware. We are not even aware that the firecrackers that we burn are foreign-made. You will be surprised when you prepare a list. Shouldn’t I expect that those associated with Gurukul should have such products in their households that have the fragrance of the soil of India and the sweat of an Indian and which have been made on the soil of India? Why should we not use such products? Vocal for local does not imply buying Diwali lamps only. We should buy all the products made locally. So many people will get employment, the pace of self-reliance will gather momentum and the country will also become strong. Secondly, your help is needed regarding single-use plastic. The cleanliness campaign does not mean only keeping our campuses in Gurukul and temples clean. We as a team should decide to visit a village once a week or a month and do the cleaning there for about two hours. You are not short of anything, you have vehicles and everything. Sometimes, you can decide to visit the Statue of Unity not for sightseeing, but for its cleanliness. It could be Ambaji next time. There are so many statues in our city. It should be our responsibility to keep the statues of Baba Ambedkar, Lal Bahadur Shastri and Bhagat Singh clean. There are many forms of cleanliness. Why should we give ‘prasad’ (god’s offering) in a plastic bag? Why should there be plastic bags in our houses? Those believing in ‘Satsang’ culture should not use plastic bags. Almost all the children in Gurukul and Madhavpriya Dasji or any other seer are from rural background. Our Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat is campaigning for natural farming. Earth is our mother. Should it not be our responsibility to serve that mother? Shastriji Maharaj has said for how long we will continue to torture Mother Earth by giving her poison. We should liberate Mother Earth from chemicals. You even have a cowshed for Gir’s cows. And the method of natural farming has been taught in Gurukul. People from Gurukul should visit villages in a week as part of a campaign and create awareness among farmers against the use of fertilizers, chemicals, or pesticides. I believe it will be of great service to Gujarat and the country and a true tribute to Shastriji Maharaj. Today, when I am in your midst, I want to make a request to you. I can say this with authority to Madhavpriya Dasji Maharaj. It will not be wrong to say that it has become my habit. Therefore, I rightfully ask our Gurukul, Satsangis and their family members to celebrate the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom in a novel way. We should try to fulfill Shastriji Maharaj’s resolution of ‘Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhay’. I apologize for not being able to come in person. Wishing everyone a very Happy Bhav Vandana Parv! Thank you all.

In line with this, today, hundreds of youths in Maharashtra are being given appointment letters. I heartily congratulate the young men and women who are getting appointment letters today! I also congratulate the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Eknath Shinde ji and Deputy Chief Minister Bhai Devendra Fadnavis ji. The ‘Rozgar Mela’ event has been organized at a very short notice.

I have been told that thousands of police constables will be recruited in the home department of Maharashtra and a recruitment drive will be conducted in the rural development department as well. Friends, The country is celebrating the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. The country is working on the goal of a developed India. Our youth plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. As the nature of jobs is changing rapidly in the changing times, the government is also constantly creating opportunities for different types of jobs, adapting to the changing scenarios. Under the Mudra scheme, which aims at providing loans without guarantee for self-employment, the government has provided assistance of more than Rs 20 lakh crore to the youth. The youth of Maharashtra have availed maximum benefits of this scheme. The government is providing all possible financial help to start-ups and Small-Scale Industries – MSMEs, so that the youngsters get the right opportunity to showcase their talent. Friends, The most important thing about the efforts of the government is that these opportunities for employment and self-employment are now available equally to all – Dalits-backward classes, tribal, general class and women. Self-Help Groups are also being promoted a lot by the government in rural areas. In the last 8 years, 8 crore women have joined Self-Help Groups. These Self-Help Groups have been given financial assistance of Rs.5 lakh crore. Now the women who are part of these groups are not only making their own products but also giving employment to other women. Friends, Today, the record investments that the government is making in infrastructure, information technology and other areas across the country are also continuously creating new employment opportunities. If we talk about Maharashtra alone, about 225 projects worth more than 2 lakh crores have been approved by the central government. The work on these projects is either underway or about to start very soon. Just imagine! In Maharashtra, projects worth Rs 75 thousand crore have been approved for railways and Rs 50 thousand crore have been approved for modern roads. When the government spends such a huge amount of budget on infrastructure, lakhs of new employment opportunities are created. Friends, I am sure that in future, innumerable employment opportunities will continue to be created for the youth in Maharashtra. Once again, I convey my best wishes to all the young men and women who got their appointment letters today. Thanks a lot!",মহাৰাষ্ট্ৰ ৰোজগাৰ মেলাত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী ভিডিঅ’ বাৰ্তাৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/opening-remarks-by-pm-at-xiv-brics-summit-2022/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%B6-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%9B-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6/,"Excellency President Xi, Excellency President Ramaphosa, Excellency President Bolsonaro, Excellency President Putin, First of all, on the occasion of International Day of Yoga, I congratulate all of you for the spectacular events that took place in all the BRICS countries. I would also like to express my gratitude for the support we have received from your teams. Excellencies, Today for the third year in a row, we are meeting virtually amid the challenges of the Covid pandemic. Even though the scale of the epidemic has reduced globally than before, however many of its ill effects are still visible in the global economy. We, the BRICS member countries, have had a very similar view of the governance of the global economy. And so our mutual cooperation can make a useful contribution to post-Covid global recovery. Over the years, we have made a number of institutional reforms in BRICS, which have increased the effectiveness of this organization. It is also a matter of happiness that the membership of our New Development Bank has also increased. There are many areas where the lives of our citizens are getting directly benefitted from our mutual cooperation. For example, establishment of vaccine R&D center, coordination among custom departments, establishment of shared satellite constellation, mutual recognition of pharma products, etc. Such practical steps make BRICS a unique international organization whose focus is not just limited to dialogue. BRICS Youth Summits, BRICS Sports, and increase in exchanges amongst our civil society organizations and think-tanks have strengthened our people-to-people contact. I am confident that today’s discussion will bring out many suggestions to further strengthen our BRICS ties. Thank you.",দ্বাদশ ব্ৰিকছ সন্মিলন ২০২২ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ উদ্বোধনী মন্তব্যৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-attends-sahkar-sammelan-on-the-occasion-of-birth-centenary-of-laxmanrao-inamdar/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%93-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today attended a Sahkar Sammelan in New Delhi, on the occasion of the birth centenary celebrations of Shri Laxmanrao Inamdar. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that our country is a “Bahuratna Vasundhara” where many people have made great contributions across regions and time periods. He said that while some of them become well known and are talked about by the media, there are many others who make valuable contributions, even though they remain largely unknown. The Prime Minister said that Vakil Saheb – Laxmanrao Inamdar – was one such person. The Prime Minister emphasized that the first principle of the cooperative movement is to unite everyone, even while remaining anonymous. He said that Shri Inamdar had imbibed this principle, and his life is a source of inspiration. The Prime Minister spoke of the goals such doubling farmers’ income by 2022, and balanced development in rural and urban areas. He said the cooperative movement can play a key role in the achievement of these objectives. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of preserving the “spirit” in the cooperative movement, which he said is still largely intact in the rural areas. He reiterated Shri Inamdar’s mantra of “Bina Sanskar, Nahin Sahkar.” The Prime Minister said that today, the farmer buys in retail, but sells in wholesale. He said the process needs to be reversed, to eliminate middlemen and help raise incomes. Giving the example of dairy cooperatives, he said that the cooperative movement has the capacity to solve people’s problems. He added that the cooperative movement is in sync with the nature of Indian society. The Prime Minister mentioned neem coating of urea, bee keeping, and sea-weed cultivation, as areas where the cooperative movement could contribute significantly. The Prime Minister released two books: one on Shri Laxmanrao Inamdar, and one titled “Nine Gems of Indian Cooperative Movement.” He also gave away awards for cooperative excellence, on the occasion.",লক্ষ্মণৰাও ইমানদাৰৰ জন্ম শতবাৰ্ষিকী উপলক্ষে আয়োজিত সহকাৰ সন্মিলনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ উপস্থিতি https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-homi-bhabha-cancer-hospital-research-centre-in-mohali-punjab/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%9E%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF/,"Punjab Governor Shri Banwari Lal Purohit ji, Chief Minister Shri Bhagwant Mann ji, my colleague in the Union Cabinet Dr. Jitendra Singh ji, my colleague in Parliament Manish Tewari ji, all doctors, researchers, paramedics, other employees and my dear sisters and brothers who have come from every nook and corner of Punjab! The country is moving towards achieving new resolutions in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. Today’s program is also a reflection of the improving health services of the country. Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Center is going to benefit the people of Punjab, Haryana as well as Himachal Pradesh. Today I want to express my gratitude to this land for another reason. Punjab has been a holy land of freedom fighters, revolutionaries and patriotism. Punjab has kept this tradition buoyant even during the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign. Today, I thank the people of Punjab, especially the youth of Punjab, for making the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign a success. Friends, A few days ago, all of us took a pledge from the Red Fort to make our country a developed India. To make India developed, it is equally important to develop its health services. When the people of India will get modern hospitals and facilities for treatment, then they will get well sooner, their energy will be channeled in the right direction and they will be more productive. Today the country has also got a modern hospital in the form of Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Center. The Central Government’s Tata Memorial Center has played an important role in the establishment of this modern facility. This center is saving the lives of cancer patients by providing its services in the country and abroad. The Government of India is playing a leading role in the creation of modern cancer facilities in the country. I am told that the Tata Memorial Center now has the facility to treat 1.5 lakh new patients every year. This has been a great relief for cancer patients. I remember people from far flung areas of Himachal used to come to PGI in Chandigarh for the treatment of many serious diseases, including cancer. Due to the huge crowd in the PGI, the patient as well as his family members had to face many problems. Now an AIIMS has been established in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh and such a huge facility has been created for the treatment of cancer. Those who find Bilaspur nearer will go there and those who are nearer to Mohali will come here. Friends, For a long time, the country has desired such a system of healthcare in our country which takes care of the poorest of the poor. A health system that cares about the health of the poor, protects the poor from diseases and provides him with the best treatment if he gets sick. A good healthcare system doesn’t just mean building four walls. Healthcare system of any country becomes strong only when it provides solutions in every way and supports it step by step. Therefore, holistic healthcare has been placed among the top priorities in the country in the last eight years. The amount of work which has been done in the health sector in India in the last 7-8 years has not been done in the last 70 years. Today, the health facilities of the country are being improved and strengthened by working together on not one, or two, but six fronts for the health of the poorest of the poor. The first front is the promotion of preventive healthcare. The second front is to open small and modern hospitals in villages. The third front is to open medical colleges and big institutions of medical research in cities. The fourth front is to increase the number of doctors and paramedical staff across the country. The fifth front is to provide affordable medicines and equipment to the patients. And the sixth front is to ameliorate the problems faced by patients by using technology. The Central Government is making record investment by spending thousands of crores today on these six fronts. Friends, We have always been told that prevention of disease is the best cure. With this thinking, so much emphasis is being laid on preventive healthcare in the country. Just a few days back, there was a report which stated that there has been a huge reduction in water-borne diseases due to the Jal Jeevan Mission. That is, when we work for prevention, there will be fewer diseases. Earlier governments did not work on this approach. But today our government is also making people aware by running many campaigns and creating public awareness and also protecting them from getting sick. There has been unprecedented awareness in the country regarding Yoga and Ayush. The attraction for yoga has increased in the world. The Fit India campaign is becoming popular among the youth of the country. The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has helped in the prevention of many diseases. The Poshan Abhiyan and Jal Jeevan Mission are helping in controlling malnutrition. By providing LPG connection to our mothers and sisters, we have also saved them from hazards like smoke-borne diseases and cancer. Friends, If there are better hospitals and more facilities for testing in our villages, the sooner diseases will be detected. Our government is working rapidly across the country on this other front as well. Our government is developing more than 1.5 lakh health and wellness centers to connect the villages with modern health facilities. I am happy that about 1.25 lakh health and wellness centers have already started functioning. There are about 3,000 health and wellness centers already operating in Punjab. So far, about 22 crore people have been screened for cancer in these health and wellness centers across the country, out of which about 60 lakh screenings have been done in Punjab only. It has been possible to save all the friends from serious problems in whom cancer has been detected in the early stages. Friends, Once the disease is detected, there is a need for such hospitals where serious diseases can be treated properly. With this thinking, the Central Government is working on the target of setting up at least one medical college in every district of the country. Under the Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, 64,000 crore rupees are being spent on creating modern health facilities at the district level. At one time, there were only 7 AIIMS in the country. Today this number has also increased to 21. AIIMS is providing excellent services in Bathinda in Punjab. If I talk about cancer hospitals only, then modern arrangements for cancer treatment are being made in every corner of the country. This is such a big center in Punjab. The National Cancer Institute has also been established in Jhajjar, Haryana. If we go towards eastern India, Varanasi is now becoming a hub of cancer treatment. The second campus of National Cancer Institute in Kolkata has also started work. Just a few days back, I had the opportunity to simultaneously inaugurate seven new cancer hospitals from Dibrugarh, Assam. Our government has approved about 40 specialized cancer institutes across the country, out of which many hospitals have already started providing services. Friends, As much as it is important to build a hospital, it is equally important to have a sufficient number of good doctors and other paramedics. Work is also being done in this regard on mission mode in the country. There were less than 400 medical colleges in the country before 2014. That is, less than 400 medical colleges in 70 years. At the same time, more than 200 new medical colleges have been built in the country in the last eight years. The expansion of medical colleges means that the number of medical seats has increased. Opportunities have increased for medical students. And the number of health professionals taking care of the health of the country has increased. That is, many employment opportunities are also being created in the health sector. Our government has also recognized more than five lakh AYUSH doctors as allopathic doctors. This has also improved the doctor-patient ratio in India. Friends, All of those sitting here are from very ordinary families. We all have experience that the poor were forced to sell their house or land in the event of a disease. Therefore, our government has put equal emphasis on providing affordable medicines and treatment to the patients. Ayushman Bharat has provided free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh to the poor. Under this, so far 3.5 crore patients have got their treatment done and they did not have to spend a single rupee. And this includes many cancer patients. Had there been no facility of Ayushman Bharat, the poor people would have had to spend 40,000 crore rupees from their pockets. There has been a saving of 40,000 crore rupees for families like you. Not only this, there is a network of Jan Aushadhi Kendras across the country, including Punjab, where cancer medicines are also available at very low cost. The prices of more than 500 cancer drugs, which used to be very expensive earlier, have been reduced by almost 90 percent. That is, the medicine which used to cost 100 rupees earlier is now provided at Jan Aushadhi Kendra for Rs.10. On an average, patients are saving about 1,000 crore rupees every year. Affordable medicines are also helping in alleviating the problems of the poor and middle class at about 9,000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras across the country. Brothers and sisters, Modern technology has added a new dimension to the holistic healthcare campaign of the government. Modern technology is also being incorporated on such a large scale for the first time in the health sector. Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission is ensuring that every patient gets quality healthcare facilities on time and with minimum hassle. Due to the telemedicine and teleconsultation facilities, today even a person living in a remote village is able to get initial consultation from the doctors of the cities. So far, crores of people have taken advantage of the Sanjeevani app. Now Made in India 5G services are being launched in the country. This will revolutionize the remote healthcare sector. With this, the compulsion of the patients of the poor families of the villages to visit major hospitals time and again will also be reduced. Friends, I would like to say one thing to every cancer survivor and their family in the country. I can fully understand your pain. But there is a need to fight cancer and not to be afraid of it. Its treatment is possible. I know many such people who are living life happily today after winning the battle against cancer. The Central Government is providing whatever help you need in this fight. I would also like to make a special request to all the colleagues associated with this hospital that we have to help the patients and their families in fighting the depression caused by cancer. As a progressive society, it is also our responsibility to bring change and openness in our thinking about mental health. Only then will there be the right solution to this problem. I would also request my colleagues associated with healthcare to definitely focus on this problem also when you organize camps in villages. With ‘Sabka Prayas’ (everyone’s efforts), we will strengthen the country’s fight against cancer. With this belief, I feel satisfied and proud to dedicate this huge gift which will benefit the people of Punjab and Himachal. Best wishes to all of you and thank you very much!",পঞ্জাৱৰ মোহলিস্থিত হোমি ভাবা কেন্সাৰ হাস্পতাল আৰু গৱেষণা কেন্দ্ৰত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ লিখিত ৰূ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/list-of-mousagreements-signed-during-state-visit-of-prime-minister-to-myanmar/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE/,"1.

(Dussehra Greetings in local language) Governor of Himachal Pradesh Shri Rajendra Arlekar Ji; the popular Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Shri Jai Ram Thakur Ji; National Party President of Bharatiya Janata Party, our guide as well as the son of this soil Shri JP Nadda Ji; my Cabinet colleague and our MP Shri Anurag Thakur Ji; Himachal Pradesh’s BJP President and my Parliamentary colleague Suresh Kashyap ji; my Parliamentary colleagues Kishan Kapoor ji, Sister Indu Goswami ji and Dr Sikander Kumar ji; other ministers, MPs and MLAs, and a large number of people who have come to bless us all. My dear brothers and sisters! Best wishes to all of you and all the countrymen on the occasion of Vijayadashami! This auspicious festival will give us a fresh energy to walk on the path of accomplishing the five ‘pranas’ or vows which the country has taken for the ‘Amritkaal’ by overcoming every evil. I am fortunate that on the Vijayadashami day, I have been given the opportunity to present to the people of Himachal Pradesh projects related to health, education, employment and infrastructure worth thousands of crores of rupees. And coincidentally, it is Vijayadashami and we have got the opportunity to sound the bugle of victory. Moreover, it marks the beginning of every future victory. Bilaspur is receiving two gifts; one related to education and the other healthcare. One is the Hydro College while the other is AIIMS. Brothers & Sisters, As Jairam ji mentioned, after handing over these development projects to you here, I am going to witness another cultural heritage. After several years I will have the privilege of being a part of Kullu Dussehra once again. I will also seek blessings for the country by participating in the Dussehra Rath Yatra of Lord Raghunath ji and hundreds of other deities. And today as I have come here to Bilaspur, my old memories have been refreshed. There was a time when we used to roam around in this area. Sometimes I, Dhumal ji and Nadda ji used to walk through the market. We had also passed through the streets of Bilaspur here with a huge Rath Yatra event. And then the Swarna Jayanti Rath Yatra too passed through the main market and a public meeting was held. And I have come here several times and have been amidst you all. While working in Himachal, I have got the opportunity to be a witness to Himachal’s development journey continuously. And I was just listening to the previous speeches. Anurag ji was speaking with a lot of enthusiasm that Modi ji did this and did that. Even Nadda ji and our Chief Minister Jairam ji were saying that Modi ji did this and that. But let me tell the truth. Who did these things? Should I tell? Today whatever is happening is because of you all. You have done it. It has happened because of you. Had you showered your blessings only on Modi ji in Delhi but not on Modi ji’s colleagues in Himachal Pradesh, then there would have been hurdles and obstacles in all the works or projects here. It is due to Jairam ji and his team that the projects that are conceived in Delhi are being implemented at a fast pace here. That is why this change is happening. And this AIIMS has been built due to the power of your ‘every single vote’. If a tunnel is built then it’s due to the power of your vote; if hydro engineering college is being set up, again that’s the power of your vote; if a medical device park is being set up, then it is again due to your power. ‘One single vote’ has power. So today, I am starting development projects one after the other keeping in mind the expectations of Himachal Pradesh. For a long time, we have seen a distorted thinking prevailing in the country regarding development. What was this thought? ‘Good roads should be only in a few states, certain big cities and around Delhi; All the top class educational institutions should be in big cities; And all the good hospitals should be in Delhi and not anywhere else; the big industries and businesses should be set up in large cities’. In fact, the basic facilities particularly in the hilly regions of the country used to reach only in the end, after waiting for several years. The result of that old thinking was that it created a huge imbalance of development in the country. Because of this, a large part of the country lived under inconvenience. In the last 8 years, the country is now moving ahead with a new thinking, modern thinking, leaving behind that old thinking. Whenever I used to come here, I used to constantly notice that people here depended only on one University. And when it came to treatment or medical education, people depended on IGMC Shimla or Tata Medical College. Speaking of serious diseases or education or employment, people of Himachal were compelled to go to Chandigarh and Delhi at that time. But in the last eight years, our double engine government has taken the development story of Himachal to a new dimension. Today Himachal also has a Central University, IIT, IIIT and Indian Institute of Management (IIM). Now AIIMS, the largest institute of medical education and health in the country, is also enhancing the pride of the people of Bilaspur and Himachal. Bilaspur AIIMS is also a symbol of another change. It will be known as Green AIIMS which is completely environment-friendly. A short while back, all our colleagues had mentioned that the previous governments used to lay the foundation stones and forget about it after the elections. Dhumal ji had organised a drive once to find all those projects whose foundation stones were laid but the work was not done. I still remember that I was once reviewing the railways. A railway line was to be laid near Una. The decision was taken 35 years ago. There was an announcement in Parliament, but then the file was closed. Who would have questioned Himachal? But he is the son of Himachal and cannot forget Himachal. And the speciality of our government is that if the foundation stone of a project is laid, it is also going to be inaugurated. The era of stalled and slow projects are gone, friends! Friends, Himachal has always had a great contribution in the defense of the nation. Himachal, which is known throughout the country for the heroes that protect the nation, the same Himachal is now going to play an important role in saving the lives of people with this AIIMS. Till the year 2014, there were only 3 medical colleges in Himachal, out of which 2 were government. In the last 8 years, 5 new government medical colleges have been set up in Himachal. Till 2014, only 500 students could study in under-graduate and post-graduate medical courses, today this number has increased to more than 1200, that is, more than double. Every year many new doctors will come out of AIIMS and the youth associated with nursing will get training here. And I have to particularly congratulate Jairam ji’s team, Jairam ji, the Minister of Health, Government of India and the Ministry of Health. We had taken this decision when Nadda ji was the Health Minister. So, he had a huge responsibility. I had also laid the foundation stone here. That was the period of the terrible corona pandemic. On top of that we know that it is difficult to do construction work in Himachal by bringing every single thing on the mountains. The work which is done in an hour on plains takes a day to be completed here in the mountains. Despite that and despite the Corona pandemic, the Ministry of Health of the Government of India and the team of the State Government under Jairam ji have successfully completed AIIMS. And today AIIMS has started functioning too. Not only the medical college, we have moved in another direction as well. Himachal’s role as a manufacturer of medicines and life saving vaccines is also being greatly expanded. Only three states of the country have been selected for the Bulk Drug Parks scheme and which state is one of them? Yes, it is Himachal. Are you proud of it or not? Is this the foundation stone for a brighter future of your children or not? Is this a guarantee of a bright future for your children or not? We work diligently not only for the present generation but also for the next generation. Similarly, 4 states have been selected for Medical Device Park, where technology is being used extensively in medicine. Four states have been selected in the country to make special types of tools. India is such a vast country with a huge population, while Himachal is a very small state. But this is the land of heroes and I have had my share of food in this place. So, I must give back. And so can you guess where the fourth medical device park is being built? Friends, the fourth medical device park is being built in Himachal. Various stalwarts from all over the world will come here. The foundation stone of this medical device park in Nalagarh is part of this project. Thousands of crores of rupees will be invested here for the construction of this device park. Many small and medium scale enterprises related to this will develop nearby. This will provide employment opportunities to thousands of youngsters here. Friends, There is another side of Himachal in which infinite possibilities of development are hidden and that is medical tourism. The climate here, the weather, the environment, the herbs here are suitable for good health. Today India is becoming a major centre of attraction for the world in terms of medical tourism. When the people of the country and the world want to come to India for medical treatment, the natural beauty of this place is such that they would want to tour the place. In a way, they will benefit in two ways, one is health and the other is tourism. So, Himachal is profiting in both the ways. Friends, The central government is trying to ensure that the cost of the treatment of the poor and middle class is minimized, the quality of treatment is better and the treatment is accessible in close proximity. So today we are working on a seamless connectivity by building AIIMS Medical College, critical care facilities in district hospitals as well as health and wellness centres in villages. These aspects are being emphasized now. Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, most of the families of Himachal are getting free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh. Under this scheme, so far 3 crore 60 lakh poor patients have been given free treatment across the country, and out of this 1.5 lakh beneficiaries are from Himachal. So far, the government has spent more than 45 thousand crore rupees on the treatment of all these people in the country. If there was no Ayushman Bharat scheme, then these poor families would have had to pay almost double of it i.e. about 90 thousand crore rupees from their pockets for treatment. That is, the poor and middle class families are getting the best treatment and saving so much money on healthcare. Friends, I am delighted for another reason too. Our mothers, sisters and daughters have benefitted the most with such government schemes. And we are aware that despite a lot of pain and trouble in the body, our mother and sisters have a nature of keeping mum about it. They do not tell anyone in the family. They tolerate the pain, keep working; and they take care of the whole family. It is because they feel that if the family members come to know about the disease or the children find it out, then they would get them treated after taking loans. The Mother thinks that she would bear the illness but wouldn’t let her children go in debt. So she would not spend money on hospitals. Who will think about these mothers? Should these mothers continue to suffer from such misery silently? What is the use of a son like me then? Therefore, in the same spirit the Ayushman Bharat scheme was born so that my mothers and sisters do not have to live with the burden of illnesses. Mothers and sisters form more than 50 percent of the beneficiaries under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Friends, Whether it is the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to build toilets, the Ujjwala scheme to provide free gas connections, the campaign to provide free sanitary napkins, the assistance worth thousands of rupees for nutritious food to every pregnant woman under the Matru Vandana Yojana, or be it our campaign to supply tapped water at homes, we are doing all these works one after the other to empower my mothers and sisters. The happiness, convenience, respect, safety and health of mothers-sisters-daughters is the biggest priority of the government of double engine. Jairam ji and his entire team have brought the schemes formulated by the central government on the ground at a very fast pace and with great spirit have also expanded their scope. It is right in front of all of us. The work of providing tapped water to every house has been completed at a very fast pace. In the last 3 years we have given more than double the number of tap connections provided to Himachal in the last 7 decades. In these three years, more than 8.5 lakh new families have got piped water facilities. Brothers & Sisters, The nation is appreciating Jairam ji and his team a lot for another aspect. That is for expanding the efforts of the central government regarding social security. Today, there is hardly any family in Himachal, where one or the other member does not get the facility of pension. The efforts to provide assistance related to pension and medical expenses to such families, especially to those who are destitute or have some serious illnesses, are commendable. Thousands of families of Himachal Pradesh have also benefitted immensely from the implementation of ‘One-Rank One-Pension’. Friends, Himachal is a land of opportunities. And I would like to congratulate Jairam ji once more. Vaccination work is going on all over the country but Himachal is the first state in the country which has completed 100% vaccination for your safety. Hence, there is no room for lackadaisical work. Once decided, it has to be done. Here electricity is generated from hydro power. There is fertile land for fruits and vegetables. And tourism provides endless employment opportunities here. Lack of better connectivity was the biggest hurdle in front of these opportunities. Since 2014, efforts were being made to bring the best infrastructure in every village of Himachal Pradesh. Today the work of widening the roads of Himachal is also going on everywhere. At present, about 50 thousand crore rupees are being spent on connectivity projects in Himachal. When the work of four lane highway from Pinjore to Nalagarh will be completed, then not only the industrial areas like Nalagarh and Baddi will be benefited, but the passengers travelling from Chandigarh and Ambala towards Bilaspur, Mandi and Manali will also be benefitted. Moreover, a network of tunnels is also being laid to free the people of Himachal from the curved roads. Friends, Unprecedented work has also been done in Himachal in terms of digital connectivity. In the last 8 years, not only the ‘Made in India’ mobile phones have become cheaper but the network has also reached every village. Himachal Pradesh is also moving very fast in terms of digital transactions due to better 4G connectivity. The maximum benefit of the ‘Digital India’ campaign is being reaped by my brothers and sisters of Himachal. Earlier the people had to go to the offices located in the plains for every little work like paying bills, or bank related work, admissions, or applications. It used to take a day or so. Sometimes one had to stay overnight. Now for the first time in the country, ‘Made in India’ 5G services have also started, the benefit of which is going to reach Himachal very soon. I congratulate Himachal for the laws framed and changed by India regarding drones. Himachal is the first state in the country, which has made the state’s drone policy. Now the use of drones for transportation is going to increase tremendously. For example, we can pick up the potatoes from Kinnaur with drones and bring them to some big market in a very short time. Our fruits used to perish but now can be picked up by drones. There are going to be several advantages in the coming days. We are striving for this type of development, which increases the convenience of every citizen and every citizen is linked to prosperity. This will fulfil the resolve of a ‘developed India’ and a developed Himachal Pradesh. I am glad that on the auspicious festival of Vijayadashami, I have got the opportunity to sound the bugle of victory amidst the blessings of all of you. I once again congratulate you all for all the development projects including AIIMS. Say aloud with me with both the fists closed – Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Say it loudly – Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Thanks a lot!",হিমাচল প্ৰদেশৰ বিলাসপুৰত বিভিন্ন উন্নয়ণমূলক প্ৰকল্পৰ উদ্বোধনী সমাৰোহত প্ৰদান কৰা প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-loss-of-lives-due-to-a-bus-accident-in-maharashtra-2/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%8B%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B9/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has condoled the loss of lives due to a bus accident in Palghar district of Maharashtra.

All you business professionals have a big role in this” Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi participated in the celebration of the completion of 20 years of ISB Hyderabad and addressed the graduation ceremony of the PGP Class of 2022. At the outset, the Prime Minister paid tributes to those who have contributed to take the institute to its current glory. He recalled that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee dedicated this institution to the country in 2001. Since then, more than 50 thousand executives have passed out from ISB. Today ISB is among the top business schools of Asia. Professionals passed out from ISB are helming top companies and giving momentum to the county’s business. Students from here have created hundreds of startups and played a role in creating unicorns. “This is an achievement of ISB and a cause of pride for the entire country”, he said. The Prime Minister noted that today India is the fastest growing Economy in the group of G20 countries. In the case of Smartphone Data Consumer, India is at number one. If we look at the number of Internet users, then India is second in the world. He said India is also second in the world in the Global Retail Index. The world’s third largest startup ecosystem is in India. The world’s third largest consumer market is in India. India is emerging as a major centre of growth today. Last year, the highest ever recorded FDI came into India. Today the world is realising that India means business. The Prime Minister pointed out that often Indian solutions are being implemented globally. Therefore, “today on this important day, I would like to ask you to link your personal goals with the goals of the country”, he said. The Prime Minister said that the need for reform was always felt in the country, but there was always a lack of political willpower. Due to the continuous political instability in the last three decades, the country has seen a lack of political willpower for a long time. Because of this the country stayed away from reforms and from taking big decisions. Since 2014, our country is seeing political will and also, reforms are being done continuously. Public support and popular support is assured when reforms are undertaken with determination and political will. He gave the example of adoption of digital payments among people. The Prime Minister said that resilience and strength of the health sector was proved during the pandemic. Regarding the Covid vaccines, concerns were being raised here whether foreign vaccines would be available or not. But India developed its own vaccines. Lot of vaccines have been made that in India more than 190 crore doses have been administered. India has also sent vaccines to more than 100 countries of the world. The Prime Minister also talked about the expansion of medical education. The Prime Minister also noted that bureaucracy has also made firm contributions in the reform process. He credited the people’s participation in the success of the government’s scheme. He said that when people cooperate, quick and better results are assured. In the system now, government reforms, bureaucracy performs and people’s participation leads to transformation. He asked the ISB students to study this mechanism of Reform, Perform and Transform. The Prime Minister cited the biggest reason that after 2014 we are seeing phenomenal performance in every sport is due to the confidence of our athletes. He added that confidence comes when the right talent is discovered, when there is handholding of talent, when there is a transparent selection and a better infrastructure is available for training, competition. We can see transformation in sports due to reforms like Khelo India and the TOPS scheme right in front of our eyes, he added. Similarly, he cited the Aspirational District Programme as a great example of performance, value addition, productivity and motivation in the public policy sphere. Commenting on the changing business landscape where formal, informal, small and large businesses are expanding their horizons and giving employment to lakhs and crores of people. He stressed the need to give more opportunities to grow to small businesses. And help them in connecting with the new local and global markets. Underlining their immense potential the Prime Minister stressed that to make India future-ready, we have to ensure that India becomes self-reliant. He saw a great role for students from institutions like ISB. “All you business professionals have a big role in this. And this will be a great example of service to the country for you”, he concluded.",হায়দৰাবাদৰ আইএছবিত ২০২২ চনৰ পিজিপি শ্ৰেণীৰ স্নাতক অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-apprised-of-the-moa-between-india-and-who-represented-by-its-regional-office-for-south-east-asia-acting-through-its-country-office-in-india/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF/,"The Union Cabinet Chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been apprised of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) between India and World Health Organisation represented by its Regional Office for South-East Asia acting through its Country Office in India.

The proper use of digital technologies can become a force multiplier in the decades-long global fight against poverty. Digital solutions can also be helpful in the fight against climate change – as we all saw in the examples of remote-working and paperless green offices during Covid. But these benefits will be realized only when the digital access is truly inclusive and when the use of digital technology is really widespread. Unfortunately, till now we have seen this powerful tool only from the criteria of simple business, keeping this power tied in the ledgers of profit and loss. It is the responsibility of us G-20 leaders that the benefits of digital transformation should not be confined to a small part of the human race. India’s experience of the past few years has shown us that if we make digital architecture inclusive, it can bring about socio-economic transformation. Digital use can bring scale and speed. Transparency can be brought in governance. India has developed digital public goods whose basic architecture has in-built democratic principles. These solutions are based on open source, open APIs, open standards, which are interoperable and public. This is our approach based on the digital revolution that is going on in India today. Take, for example, our Unified Payment Interface (UPI). Last year, over 40 percent of the world’s real-time payment transactions took place through UPI. Similarly, we opened 460 million new bank accounts on the basis of digital identity, making India a global leader in financial inclusion today. Our open source CoWIN platform made the biggest vaccination campaign in human history, a success even during the pandemic. Excellencies, In India, we are making digital access public, but at the international level, there is still a huge digital divide. Citizens of most developing countries of the world do not have any kind of digital identity. Only 50 countries have digital payment systems. Can we take a pledge together that in the next ten years we will bring digital transformation in the life of every human being, so that no person in the world will be deprived of the benefits of digital technology! During its G-20 Presidency next year, India will work jointly with G-20 partners towards this objective. The principle of “Data for development” will be an integral part of the overall theme of our Presidency “One Earth, One Family, One Future”.

He has warned the perpetrators and those aiding and abetting terrorists that they have made a big mistake and will have to pay a heavy price. Stating that free hand has been given to the security forces to act, PM dared Pakistan not to live in illusion that it can destabilize India. He was addressing a public gathering today before flagging off Vande Bharat Express between New Delhi and Varansi from New Delhi Railway Station. Following is the preliminary draft of English rendering of PM’s statement on terror attack in Pulwama based on the extracts from his speech on this occasion. “At the outset, my tributes to the soldiers martyred in the terror attack in Pulwama. They have laid down their lives for the country. My heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their near and dear ones in this hour of grief. I know there is deep anger, your blood boils looking at what has happened. At this moment, there are expectations and the feelings of a strong response which is quite natural. We have given full freedom to the security forces. We have full faith in the bravery and valour of our security forces. I am hopeful that the patriotic fervour will ensure that people will provide correct information to our agencies so that we can intensify our efforts to crush terror. I want to tell the terror outfits and those aiding and abetting them that they have made a big mistake.They will have to pay a very heavy price for their actions. Let me assure the nation that those behind this attack, the perpetrators of this attack will be punished. I also understand the sentiments of those who are criticising us. They have full rights. However, it is my request to all my friends that it is a very sensitive and emotional moment and the nation stands united in its fight against terror. We should speak in one voice and rise above politics.The message which should go across the world is that we are one nation, one voice in our fight against terror, the fight which we have to win. Our neighbour which is already isolated by the global community is in a state of illusion, if it thinks that it can demoralize India with its dastardly acts and nefarious designs. Let me state categorically that it should stop day dreaming to destabilize India. This neighbour of ours which is in a state of economic despair Must know that nay such attempt is destined to fail and will be foiled. Times and again it has been proved that those which follow such routes are destroyed themselves. The course which we have adopted is one of progress and development. 130 crore Indian will give a befitting reply to any such act or attack. Many big countries have strongly condemned this terror attack, have stood behind India and expressed support for India. I am thankful to all these nations and appeal to them to join hands in the global fight against terrorism. The menace of terror can be contained only when the nations are united in the fight against terrorism. Friends, after Pulwama terror attack, we are in a state of grief as well as deep anger. However, let me tell you, nation will counter such attacks strongly.India will not be intimidated. Our brave soldiers have laid down their lives. The martyrs live for two dreams- for Suraksha – safety of the nation and for sammridhi- prosperity of the nation. I salute our martyrs, seek their blessings and assure you that we will leave no stone unturned to fulfil their dreams for which they have laid down their lives for the nation. We will strive hard to gather momentum on the road to development as a mark of our respect to the martyrs.

Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister visited Kedarnath and performed darshan and pooja at Shri Kedarnath Temple. He also visited the Adi Guru Shankaracharya Samadhi Sthal and reviewed the work in progress along Mandakini Asthapath and Saraswati Asthapath. The Prime Minister also visited Badrinath and performed darshan and pooja at Shri Badrinath Temple. He then reviewed the work in progress along the Alaknanda riverfront. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister expressed his feeling of bliss after performing darshan and pooja at the shrines. “My life became blessed, the mind became happy and these moments became alive”, he said. Recalling the words that he spoke during his earlier visit that the decade will belong to Uttarakhand, the Prime Minister said that he has full faith that Baba Kedar and Badri Vishal will bless those words. “Today, I am here among you to reiterate the same resolve with these new projects”, he said. Noting that Mana village is known as the last village at India’s borders, the Prime Minister said, “For me, every village at the border is the first village of the country and the people residing near the border make for the country’s strong guard. The Prime Minister recalled his long association with the area and his continuous espousal of its importance. He also noted their support and confidence. He thanked the people of Mana for their continuous love and support. The Prime Minister talked about the two major pillars of the developed India of the 21st century. “First, pride in our heritage and second, all possible efforts for development. Today Uttarakhand is strengthening both these pillars”, he said. He informed that while he felt blessed by the Darshans at Kedarnath and Badri Vishal, he also reviewed the development projects as “130 crore people are also a form of God for me.” he said. Mentioning the two ropeways Kedarnath to Gaurikund and Hemkund ropeway, the Prime Minister credited the inspiration and progress to the blessings of Baba Kedarnath, Badri Vishal and Sikh Gurus. The Prime Minister said devotees all over the world will rejoice in this unprecedented initiative. The Prime Minister prayed for the safety of Shramjeevis and other personnel involved in these projects and acknowledged their devotion in these difficult working conditions. “They are doing the work of God, you care for them, never consider them just paid workers, they are contributing to a divine project”, the Prime Minister said. Referring to his interactions with the Shramjeevis at Kedarnath, the Prime Minister said that it was a great experience when workers and engineers compared their tasks to worshipping Baba Kedar. Recalling his appeal to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort to break free from the colonial mindset, the Prime Minister explained the need to make this appeal after 75 years of independence and underlined that mentality of slavery had shackled the nation so profoundly that some people in the country considered the work of development in the country as a crime. “The progress made in the development of the country is weighed upon a beam scale of slavery”, the Prime Minister said. He further added that for a long time, the places of worship in the country have been looked down upon. “People from across the world never stop praising these shrines”, he added. Recalling the past attempts, the Prime Minister pointed out that everyone remembers what happened during the construction of the Somnath temple and Ram temple. “The dilapidated condition of these shrines was a clear sign of the slavery mentality”, Shri Modi said. He further added that even the paths that led to these shrines were in an extremely poor state. “The spiritual centres of India remained neglected for decades”, he continued. “And it was due to the selfishness of the previous governments.” He pointed out these people had forgotten what these spiritual centres mean to crores of Indians. The Prime Minister interjected that neither the significance of our spiritual centres was determined by their efforts nor was there any decline in the faith held by the people towards these spiritual centres. “Today, Kashi, Ujjain, Ayodhya and many more spiritual centres are reclaiming their lost pride and legacy. Kedarnath, Badrinath and Hemkund Sahib are holding the faith while connecting the services with technology”, he underlined, “From Ram temple in Ayodhya to Maa Kalika temple in Pavagadh, Gujarat to Devi Vindhyachal Corridor, India is announcing its cultural and traditional upliftment.” He further added that pilgrims will find it easy to reach these centres of faith and the services that are being introduced will make the lives of the elderly easy-going. The Prime Minister underlined another aspect of rejuvenation of these places of faith i.e. aspect of Ease of Living of people in the hilly areas and employment opportunities for the youth of these areas. “Rail, roads, and ropeways bring employment with them and make life easy and empowered. These facilities enhance tourism and make transportation easy in the hilly area. Drones are also being planned to be deployed to improve logistics in these difficult areas”, Shri Modi added. Praising the local products and efforts of the local self-help groups, the Prime Minister made an appeal to the people of the country. He asked the people who go for tourism in any part of the country to take out 5 percent of their travel budget to buy local products. “This will give a big push to local products and will give immense satisfaction to you too”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister lamented the fact that the resilience of the people from hilly areas was used against them. Their hard-working nature and strength were used as an excuse to deprive them of any amenities. They were last in priority for amenities and benefits. We had to change this, the Prime Minister said. He elaborated “Earlier, the areas which were ignored as the frontiers of the country’s borders, we started working from there marking them as the beginning of prosperity. We tried to find solutions to these challenges of the mountains, which used to waste a lot of energy of the local people.” He listed initiatives like electrification of all the villages, Har Ghar Jal, connecting Panchayats with optical fiber, health and wellness centres in every village, priority to hilly areas during vaccination, free ration to poor during the pandemic as measures of furthering the Ease of Living and providing dignity to the people. The Prime Minister said that these facilities give youth new opportunities and boost tourism. “I am happy that the Double-Engine government is giving continuous financial help for the skill development of the youth to improve the facilities of homestays. The campaign to connect the youth of the border areas with the NCC is also preparing them for a bright future,” he said. The Prime Minister remarked, “Modern connectivity is a guarantee of national defence.” He underlined that the government is taking one step after the other in this direction for the last 8 years. Highlighting the two major connectivity schemes launched a few years back, the Prime Minister gave examples of Bharatmala and Sagarmala. He informed that under Bharatmala, the border areas of the country are being connected with the best and widest highways, and with Sagarmala, the connectivity of India’s seashores is being strengthened. The Prime Minister further informed that the government has executed unprecedented expansion of border connectivity from Jammu and Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh in the last 8 years. “Since 2014, the Border Roads Organization has constructed about 7,000 km of new roads and built hundreds of bridges. Many important tunnels have also been completed”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister threw light on the Parvatmala Yojana which is improving the connectivity of hilly states. He pointed out that the construction of a huge network of ropeways has begun under this scheme in Uttarakhand and Himachal. The Prime Minister emphasised the need to change the perception of the border areas just as the military establishment did. He said, “We are making efforts so that these areas have a vibrant life where development is celebrated.” The Prime Minister stated that The road that will be built from Mana to Mana Pass will benefit the region immensely. With the widening of Joshimath to Malari road, it will be very easy for common people as well as our soldiers to reach the border, he said. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister assured Uttarakhand that hard work and dedication will always work towards fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the state. “I have come here to seek blessings from Baba Kedar and Badri Vishal to fulfil this trust”, the Prime Minister concluded. Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, Governor of Uttarakhand, Retd. Gen Gurmit Singh, Member of Parliament, Shri Tirath Singh Rawat, Minister of Uttarakhand Government, Shri Dhan Singh Rawat and BJP State President, Shri Mahendra Bhatt were those present on the occasion. Background The ropeway in Kedarnath will be around 9.7 Km in length and will connect Gaurikund to Kedarnath, thereby reducing the travel time between the two places from 6-7 hours at present to merely 30 mins. The Hemkund ropeway will connect Govindghat to Hemkund Sahib. It will be around 12.4 Km in length and will reduce the travel time from more than a day to only about 45 mins. This ropeway will also connect Ghangaria, which is the gateway to Valley of Flowers National Park. Developed at a cumulative cost of around Rs 2430 crore, the ropeways will be an environment-friendly mode of transport making the journey safe, secure and stable. This major infrastructure development will give a boost to religious tourism, thereby providing a fillip to the economic development in the region and leading to the creation of multiple employment opportunities. The foundation stones of road widening projects worth around Rs 1000 crore will also be laid during the visit. The two road widening projects – from Mana to Mana Pass (NH07) and from Joshimath to Malari (NH107B) – shall be another step towards providing last-mile all-weather road connectivity to our border areas. Apart from boosting connectivity, these projects will also prove beneficial from a strategic point of view as well. Kedarnath and Badrinath are one of the most important Hindu shrines. The area is also known for one of the revered Sikh Pilgrim sites – Hemkund Sahib. The connectivity projects being undertaken show the Prime Minister’s commitment to ease access and improve basic infrastructure in places of religious significance.",উত্তৰাখণ্ডৰ মানাত ৩৪০০ কোটিৰো অধিক টকা মূল্যৰ পথ আৰু ৰজ্জুপথ প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-calls-dr-lotay-tshering-president-of-druk-nyamrup-tshogpa-bhutan/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A1%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%AA-%E0%A6%9B%E0%A7%8B/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had a telephone conversation today with Dr. Lotay Tshering, President of Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister began by recalling that he had met Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina several times in the recent past, including at the BIMSTEC meeting in Kathmandu, in Shanti Niketan, and during the Commonwealth Summit in London. He reiterated his view that leaders of neighbouring countries should have a relationship like neighbours, talking and visiting frequently, without getting bogged down by protocol. He said this closeness is evident in the frequent interactions between him and the Bangladesh Prime Minister. Prime Minister Modi recalled Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina’s vision of restoring connectivity to the way it was before 1965. He said that he is happy that in the last few years, there has been steady progress towards this goal. He said that today, we have increased our power connectivity, and started two projects to increase our railway connectivity.

He said that with the completion of this project, 1.16 Gigawatts of power is now being supplied from India to Bangladesh. He said this journey from Megawatts to Gigawatts is symbolic of a golden era in the relations between India and Bangladesh.

He thanked the Chief Minister of Tripura, Shri Biplab Kumar Deb, for his facilitation in completion of this work.

Prime Minister Abe and I have met several times on the sidelines of global conferences but welcoming him in India is a matter of great happiness for me. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the Sabarmati Ashram with him. Today both of us visited the Dandi Kutir. This morning, together we carried out the ground-breaking ceremony of Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed railway project, which is being built with Japanese cooperation. This is a very big step. This is not just the beginning of high speed rail. While looking forward at our future needs, I consider this new railway philosophy as the lifeline of a New India. India’s uninterrupted progress has now been attached to a much faster pace. Friends, Mutual trust and faith, understanding of each other’s interests and concerns, and continuous high level interactions, this is the uniqueness of Indo-Japan relations. The scope of our special strategic and global partnership is not confined to bilateral or regional levels only. We also have close cooperation on global issues. Last year, during my visit to Japan, we had a historic agreement for peaceful use of nuclear energy. I express my gratitude to the people of Japan, Parliament of Japan, and especially Prime Minister Abe for its ratification. This agreement has added a new chapter to our cooperation on the issue of clean energy and climate change. Friends, In 2016-17, India got Japanese investment worth $ 4.7 billion which is 80 percent more than the previous year. Now Japan is the third largest investor in India. It clearly shows how much confidence and optimism is prevalent in Japan towards India’s economic development and a golden tomorrow. And by looking at this investment, it can be assumed that in the coming days people-to-people ties between India and Japan will grow further along with a growing business. We already provide visa on arrival facilities to citizens of Japan and now after the collaboration between India Post and Japan Post we are going to introduce a Cool Box Service so that the Japanese people living in India can directly get their favorite food from Japan. At the same time, I would also request the Japanese business community to open more Japanese restaurants in India! Today, India is on the path of a radical change at many levels. Whether it is ease of doing business or Skill India, taxation reforms or Make in India, India is transforming completely. This is a huge opportunity for Japanese businesses. And I’m glad that many Japanese companies are deeply involved with our flagship programs. We will also get to see its direct benefit during our conversation in today’s evening program with the business leaders of both the countries. We are the largest partner in Japan’s official development assistance programme and I warmly welcome the agreements that have been signed today for the projects in several sectors. Friends, I am confident that our dialogue and the agreements signed by us today will further strengthen the partnership between India and Japan in all areas. With these words, I once again warmly welcome Prime Minister Abe and the high level delegation accompanying him.

A few days from now, the country is completing 75 years of its independence, and all of us are also preparing vigorously for this historic Independence Day. The Tricolor is conspicuous in every corner of India. There is no corner of Gujarat which is not filled with enthusiasm. And Surat has made it glorious. Today the attention of the entire country is on Surat. In a way, Surat Tiranga Yatra is manifesting mini India. There would hardly be any place in India whose people do not live in Surat and today the entire India in a way is participating in the Tiranga Yatra on the soil of Surat. It is also a matter of happiness that every section of the society is involved. The potential of the Tricolour to integrate can be seen in Surat. Surat has created its own identity in the world due to its trade, business and industries. The Tiranga Yatra being held in Surat today will also become a center of attraction across the world. Friends, You have included the tableau of Mother India as well as the tableaux related to the culture and identity of the country in the Tiranga Yatra. The brave performance by the daughters and the participation of the youth is especially amazing. The people of Surat have brought alive the spirit of our freedom struggle in the Tiranga Yatra. Someone is a cloth merchant, a shopkeeper, an artisan of looms, an artisan of tailoring or embroidery, or someone is associated with transport or with diamonds and jewels. The entire textile industry of Surat and the people have made this event very grand. I congratulate all of you very much for this public participation in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, and for this special Tiranga Yatra. I especially appreciate Sanwar Prasad Budhia ji and all the volunteers associated with the ‘Saket – Seva Hi Lakshya’ group who started this initiative. The support of my colleague in Parliament, CR Patil ji, is further strengthening this initiative. Friends, Our national flag itself has been a symbol of the country’s textile industry, khadi and our self-reliance. Surat has always laid the foundation for ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’ in this regard. Surat’s textile industry has represented the spirit of India’s industry, skill and prosperity. Therefore, this Tiranga Yatra also encompasses that pride and inspiration in itself. Friends, Gujarat has written its own golden chapter of glorious contribution in the history of India’s freedom struggle. Gujarat led the freedom struggle in the form of Bapu. Gujarat gave heroes like Iron Man Sardar Patel, who laid the foundation of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ after independence. The message emanating from the Bardoli movement and the Dandi Yatra united the entire country. An integral part of this glorious past of Gujarat is our Surat and its heritage. Friends, The Tricolor of India not only contains three colors in itself. Our Tricolor is a reflection of the glory of our past, the conscientiousness of our present and also the dreams of the future. Our Tricolor is a symbol of India’s unity, integrity and diversity. Our freedom fighters saw the future and dreams of the country in the Tricolour and never let it lower down. Today, as we begin the journey of a new India after 75 years of independence, the Tricolor is once again representing the unity and consciousness of India. I am happy that the power and devotion of the country is being reflected in the Tiranga Yatra and the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign across the country. The Tricolor will be hoisted in every house of India from August 13 to August 15. Every section of the society, people of every caste, creed and religion, are coming together with a spontaneous sense of unity and identity. The entire country is aligning with new dreams and resolutions. This is the identity of the conscientious citizen of India. This is the identity of the children of Mother Bharati. Men, women, youths and elders are lending their support in this campaign and doing their duty. I am pleased that many poor people, weavers and handloom workers are also getting additional income due to the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign. Such events will give a new energy to our resolutions in the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ of Independence. These campaigns of public participation will strengthen the foundation of New India. With this belief, I wish all the very best to all of you, Gujarat, the whole country and especially the people of my Surat. And once Surat is determined, it never backs down. This is the specialty of Surat. The way Surat is progressing and attaining new heights of progress is because the people of my Surat, these are my brothers and sisters of Surat. Today the wonderful sight of this Tiranga Yatra will become an inspiration for the country as well. I wish you all the very best.

It will serve the purpose of application of relevant provisions of the Constitution of India, as amended through the Constitution (Seventy Seventh Amendment) Act, 1995 and Constitution (One Hundred arid third Amendment) Act, 2019 for Jammu and Kashmir, by issuing the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Amendment Order, 2019 by the President under clause (1) of Article370. Impact: Once notified, this will pave the way for giving benefit of promotion in service tothe Scheduled Castes, the Schedule Tribes and also extend the reservation ofup to 10% for “economically weaker sections” in educational institutions and public employment in addition to the existing reservation in Jammu and Kashmir. Background : Equity & Inclusiveness 10% reservation for economically weaker sections made applicable in J&K also. This would pave the way for reserving State Government jobs to the youth of J&K who are from economically weaker sections belonging to any religion or caste. It may be recalled that 10% reservation to economically weaker sections was introduced in rest of the country through the 103rd Constitution Amendment in January 2019. This will be in addition to such reservation available in Govt. of India jobs also. Benefit of promotion to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, which include Gujjars and Bakarwals amongst others, has also been made applicable to the State of J&K. After a long wait of 24 years, the 77thConstitution Amendment of 1995 has now been applied to the State of J&K. People living near the International Border have been brought at par with those living near the Line of Control for reservation in State Government jobs by amending the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004 through an Ordinance. Earlier, the provision of 3% reservation was available only for youth living within 6 kms. Of LoC in J&K. Now, this provision will be applicable for people living near the international border also. This has been a long-pending demand of the population living near the international border, as they have been facing the brunt of cross border firing in J&K. Constitution (Seventy Seventh Amendment) Act, 1995 was enacted thereby inserting clause (4A) after clause 4 of Article 16 of Constitution of India. Clause (4A) provides for giving benefit of promotion in service to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. The Constitution (One Hundred and Third Amendment) Act, 2019 has been applied in the country except Jammu and Kashmir and with extension of Act to Jammu and Kashmir economically weaker sections of State would also avail the benefit of reservation.","সংবিধান (জম্মু-কাশ্মীৰৰ বাবে প্ৰযোজ্য) সংশোধনী নির্দেশ, ২০১৯ত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-deaths-in-road-accident-in-pilibhit-up/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA-2/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has condoled the deaths in a road accident in Pilibhit.

Namaskar! In Gujarat, Diwali lasts till Dev Diwali. And during this festival of Diwali, Vadodara, Gujarat and the entire country has received a priceless gift. It is a new year for Gujarat and I have come to Gujarat for the first time in the new year. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! Today, we are taking a significant step towards making India a major manufacturing hub of the world. India is developing its own fighter planes today. Today India is making its own tanks and submarines. Moreover, ‘Made in India’ Medicines and vaccines are also saving the lives of lakhs of people in the world today. Electronic gadgets, mobile phones and cars ‘Made in India’ are dominating many countries of the world today. India which is moving ahead with the mantra of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Make for the Globe’ continues to enhance its potential. Now India will also become a major manufacturer of transport planes. It is beginning in India today. And I can visualize the day when the world’s biggest passenger planes will also be manufactured in India and will also carry the tag of ‘Make in India’. Friends, The facility for which the foundation stone has been laid in Vadodara today, has the power to transform the defence and aerospace sectors of the country. For the first time ever such a huge investment is being made in India’s defence aerospace sector. The transport aircraft being manufactured here will not only give strength to our army, but will also develop a new ecosystem for aircraft manufacturing. Known as the centre of education and culture, Vadodara will now emerge as an important hub of the aviation sector before the world with this new identity . Although India has already been exporting small parts of aircraft to many countries, now military transport aircraft are going to be manufactured for the first time in the country. I extend my best wishes to Tata Group and Airbus Defence Company for this. I have been told that more than 100 MSMEs of India will also join this project. In future, orders can also be taken here for exporting to other countries of the world. That is, the resolve of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Make for the Globe’ are also going to be stronger from this land. Friends, Today in India, we have the world’s fastest growing aviation sector. We are about to reach the top three countries in the world in terms of air traffic. Crores of new passengers are going to be air passengers in the next 4-5 years. The UDAN scheme is also helping a lot in this direction. It is estimated that in the coming 10-15 years, India will need about 2000 more passenger and cargo aircrafts. India alone needs 2000 aircrafts; this shows how fast the development is going to take place! India is already preparing to meet this huge demand. Today’s event is also a vital step in that direction. Friends, Today’s event also has a message for the world. Today India has brought a golden opportunity to the world. India’s manufacturing sector continues to have a growth momentum, despite disruptions in the supply-chain, and the circumstances created by Corona and the war. This is not a fluke. Today the operating conditions in India are continuously improving. Today India is emphasizing upon cost competitiveness as well as quality. Today India is providing opportunities for Low Cost Manufacturing and High Output. Today India has a huge pool of Talented and Skilled Manpower. The reforms undertaken by our government in the last eight years have created an unprecedented manufacturing environment in India. India has never had as much emphasis on Ease of Doing Business as today. A new saga of economic reforms is being written in India today like simplifying the corporate tax structure, making it globally competitive, allowing 100% FDI through automatic route in many sectors, opening up sectors like defence, mining, space to private companies, bringing labour reforms, turning 29 central Labour laws to just 4 codes, abolishing more than 33 thousand compliances and eliminating the web of dozens of taxes and creating one single Goods and Services Tax. Our manufacturing sector is reaping the benefits of these reforms. And friends, There is another major reason behind this success. Rather I would say that the biggest reason is the change in mindset. For a long time, governments have governed with the mindset that only the government knows everything and everything should be done by the government. This mindset suppressed the talent of the country and did not allow India’s private sector to grow. Moving forward with the spirit of ‘Sabka Prayas’, the country has now started giving equal importance to both public and private sectors. Friends, The previous governments had the mindset of avoiding the problems and they would keep the manufacturing sector running by giving some subsidies. This mindset has done a lot of damage to the manufacturing sector of India. As a result, no concrete policy was formulated before and the needs of logistics, electricity supply and water supply were ignored. The young generation of my country can very well understand the result of this mindset. Now India of today is working with a new mindset and a new work-culture. We have abandoned methods laden with adhocism and have come up with various incentives for investors for growth. We launched the Production Linked Incentive scheme, which made the change visible. Today our policy is stable, predictable and futuristic. We are improving the country’s logistics system through the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan and National Logistics Policies. Friends, Earlier there was another mindset, that is, ‘India cannot excel in manufacturing, so it should focus only on the service sector’. Today we are not only focusing on the service sector but also enriching the manufacturing sector. We know that today no country in the world can progress by developing only the service sector or only the manufacturing sector. We have to adopt a holistic approach to development. And today’s New India has walked on the same path with confidence. There was another limiting belief that we have a shortage of skilled manpower. So, there was a lack of confidence in the skills of the country; there was a lack of trust in the talent of the country. Therefore, there existed a kind of apathy towards the manufacturing sector and less attention was paid to it. But today India is getting ready to be at the forefront in terms of manufacturing too. From Semiconductors to Aircrafts, we are growing with the intention of being at the forefront in every sector. This was possible because in the last 8 years we focused on skill development and created an environment for it. By integrating all these changes, today India’s development journey in the manufacturing sector has reached this stage. Friends, The fruits of our government’s investment-friendly policies are also visible in FDI. In the last eight years, companies from more than 160 countries have invested in India. And it is not that this foreign investment has come only in some industries. This investment covers more than 60 sectors of the economy and has reached 31 states and UTs. More than $3 billion has been invested in the aerospace sector alone. The investment in this sector was five times more in these eight years as compared to the 14 years from 2000 to 2014. In the coming years, the defence and aerospace sectors are going to be the major pillars of the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’. We aim to scale-up our defence manufacturing beyond $25 billion by 2025. Our defence exports will also exceed $5 billion. Defence corridors being developed in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu will also help in scaling-up this sector. Today I appreciate the Defence Ministry of the country and the Government of Gujarat. You must have seen that a few days ago they organized a spectacular Def-Expo in Gandhinagar. There was a major event related to various defence equipment. And I am really delighted to say that this was the biggest Def-expo ever. So, I congratulate Rajnath ji. One of the most important features in this event was the fact that all the equipment and technologies displayed in the Def-expo were ‘Made in India’. That is, the reflection of Project C-295 will also be visible to us in the future Def-expos. I extend my best wishes to the Tata Group and Airbus for the same. Friends, Today, on this historic occasion, I would like to reiterate my request to the friends associated with the industry. And I am glad that all the industry leaders and stalwarts from various sectors have joined us today to witness this momentous event. Make the most out of the unprecedented investment confidence that has been built up in the country at the moment. Don’t miss this opportunity to move forward as aggressively as you can. I would urge the players who are established in the industry to find ways to help the start-ups of the country to move forward. I want all the major industries to create one ‘start-up cell’ to study the start-ups of our youngsters across the country. How can your research match their work? Provide hand-holding to them and you will see that not only you are growing very fast but even those youngsters are bringing glory to India in the world of start-ups. Even their power will increase manifold. The participation of the private sector in research is still limited. If we increase this together, we will be able to develop a stronger ecosystem of innovation and manufacturing. The mantra of ‘Sabka Prayas’ will be useful to all of us and will guide us all. And we should walk on the same path. Once again, I congratulate all the countrymen for this modern aircraft manufacturing facility. Many new opportunities are waiting for the youth of the country. I also extend my special greetings to the young generation of the country.

The Prime Minister said “This is a very important time to think, where to take the nation and how to take the nation ahead, when it celebrates 100 years of Independence.” He also believed that in order to complete the resolution for this we will need collective partnership and collective ownership. The Prime Minister said that the world is still battling COVID-19. Humanity has not seen any challenge like this in the last hundred years. The people of India have taken the vaccine and they have done this not merely to protect themselves but also protect others. Such conduct, in the midst of so many global anti-vaccine movements is admirable. The Prime Minister said that people kept raising questions about India’s progress in this time of the pandemic but India ensured 80 crore citizens get access to free ration. It was also ensured that record houses for the poor are built, these houses are equipped with water connections. During this pandemic we have provided water through taps to 5 crore people and created a new record. Because of our rational approach our farmers produced bumper harvests during the pandemic. We completed many infrastructure related projects during the pandemic because we believe that they ensure jobs during such challenging times. During this pandemic, our youth have made huge strides in Sports and brought glory to the nation. Indian youth with their start-ups have made India become one of the top three start-ups destination in the world. The Prime Minister underlined that during this pandemic whether it is a COP 26 or G20 related matter or whether it is related to export of medicine in more than 150 countries, India has played a leadership role and the whole world is discussing this. The Prime Minister emphasized that we focussed more on the MSME sector and agriculture sector during the pandemic. While giving data on employment, the Prime Minister said that in the year of 2021 EPFO payroll data shows that around 1 crore 20 lakh new people have enrolled themselves on the EPFO portal. These all are formal jobs and out of these around 60 to 65 lakh are aged between 18 and 25, it means it is their first job. While speaking on the inflation, the Prime Minister said that we have tried our best to check the inflation and when we compare this with other economies then we can say that today India is the only big economy which is experiencing high growth with medium inflation. The Prime Minister said that we have to work for people irrespective of which side of the aisle we are on. The mindset that being in the Opposition means stop working towards solving people’s issues is wrong. The Prime Minister said that he felt astonished when some honourable Members said that India’s vaccination drive is no big deal. He said that from the beginning of the pandemic the government has made every effort to mobilize every resource available in the country and the world. He also assured everyone that till the pandemic exists, we will protect the poor of the nation. The Prime Minister said that fighting COVID-19 is also linked to a strong and cordial federal structure. There have been 23 meetings with respected Chief Ministers on the issue. He expressed grief over the boycott of the opposition parties to attend the all-party meeting on the COVID-19 issue. The Prime Minister said that today more than 80 thousand health and wellness centers are functioning in the country under Ayushman Bharat. These centers are providing better primary healthcare facilities including free tests near the village and home. While speaking on democracy, the Prime Minister said that we will never learn lessons in democracy from those who trampled over democracy in 1975. The biggest threat to our democracy is dynastic parties. When one family gets too prevalent in a political party, political talent suffers. The Prime Minister said “some Members asked- if there was no Congress, what would happen?” “I would like to say, if there was no Congress there would be no Emergency, there would be no caste politics, Sikhs would never have been massacred, the problems of Kashmiri Pandits would not have happened,” he said. The Prime Minister reiterates that we do not see any conflicts between national progress and regional aspirations. India’s progress will be stronger when it addresses regional aspirations keeping in mind the development of the country. When our states progress, the country progresses, he added. The Prime Minister concluded his speech by saying that we should end the tradition of differentiation and to walk together with the same mindset is the need of time.

Singh Baghel ji, Law Ministers and Secretaries of all the states, other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! This important meeting of law ministers and secretaries of all the states of the country is taking place amidst the grandeur of the Statue of Unity. At a time when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom, Sardar Patel’s inspiration for public interest will not only take us in the right direction but will also help meet our goals. Friends, In every society, the judicial system, various procedures and traditions have been developing as per the needs of the time. Reliable and speedy justice system is very necessary for a healthy society, for a confident society, and for the development of the country. The faith of the countrymen in the constitutional institutions is strengthened when justice is seen being served. The confidence of the common man of the country grows equally when he gets justice. Therefore, such events are very important to continuously improve the law and order of the country. Friends, The development journey of Indian society spans thousands of years. In spite of all the challenges, Indian society has made steady progress and has maintained continuity. The insistence on morality and cultural traditions is very rich in our society. The biggest feature of our society is that it also keeps on improving itself internally while moving on the path of progress. Our society removes the laws and customs that become irrelevant. Otherwise, we have also seen that any tradition, when it becomes customary, becomes a burden and society gets buried under this burden. Therefore, continuous improvement is an indispensable requirement in every system. You must have often heard me saying that the people of the country should not feel the absence of government and they should not feel the pressure of the government as well. Unnecessary laws result in undue pressure of the government. We laid special emphasis to ease this government pressure on the citizens of India in the last eight years. As you are aware, the country has repealed more than 1,500 old and irrelevant laws. Many of these laws existed since the period of slavery. More than 32,000 compliances have also been done away with to remove legal hurdles in the way of innovation and ease of living. These changes are not only for the convenience of the public, but are also very necessary according to the times. We are aware that many archaic laws since the period of slavery are still in force in the states. It is necessary to abolish the laws which are continuing since the time of slavery and make new laws according to the present time in this ‘Amrit Kaal’ of Independence. I urge you to deliberate the ways for the abolition of such laws in this conference. Apart from this, reviewing the existing laws of the states will also be very helpful. Ease of Living and Ease of Justice should also be the focus of this review. Friends, Delay in justice is one of the biggest challenges faced by the citizens of India. Our judiciary is working very seriously in this direction. Now we have to solve this problem together in this ‘Amrit Kaal’. Among many options is alternative dispute resolution which can be promoted at the state government level. Such a mechanism has been prevalent in the villages of India for a long time. They may be having their own ways and arrangements, but the approach is the same. We have to understand this system at the local level in the states and ensure how we can make it a part of the legal system. I remember we started Evening Courts when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. The first Evening Court in the country was started in Gujarat. Most of the cases in the Evening Courts were less serious in nature. People also used to complete the judicial process by coming to these courts after completing their work. This not only saved their time, but the cases were heard speedily. More than nine lakh cases have been settled in Gujarat in the last few years due to Evening Courts. We have seen that Lok Adalats have emerged as another means of speedy justice in the country. Many states have done remarkably well in this regard. Lakhs of cases have been settled in the country over the last few years through Lok Adalats. These have also reduced the burden of the courts and ensured easy justice to the poor, especially the people living in the villages. Friends, Most of you also have the responsibility of the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry. That is, all of you also go through the process of law making very closely. No matter how good the motive may be, but if there is confusion in the law itself and there is a lack of clarity, then the common citizens have to bear the brunt of it in the future. Such is the complex language of the law that ordinary citizens have to spend a lot of money and run here and there to get justice. Therefore, when the law is comprehensible to the common man, it has its desired effect. Therefore, when a law is made in the Parliament or Legislative Assembly in some countries, they do two things simultaneously. One is to explain in detail the technical words used in the definition of law and the other is to interpret the law in a simple language which can easily be understood by the common man while retaining the spirit of the original law. Therefore, while making laws, it should be our focus that even the poorest of the poor can understand the new legislation properly. There is also such a provision in some countries that it is decided during the making of the law that how long it will remain in effect. That is, the expiry of the law is fixed well before it is formulated. It is decided whether the concerned law is for five or ten years. That law is reviewed again in the wake of the new circumstances when it nears the deadline. We have to move forward with the same spirit in India too. Local language has an important role in the legal system for ease of justice. I have often raised this issue with our judiciary also. The country is also making several important efforts in this direction. Every state should also work in this direction so that language of law does not become a barrier for any citizen. In this regard, we also need to create an academic ecosystem in the mother tongue for the youth along with the logistics and infrastructure support. We will have to ensure that law courses are in mother tongue, laws are written in simple language and there is a digital library of important cases of High Courts and Supreme Court in local language. This will also increase the awareness of law in the common man and will also relieve him of the fear of heavy legal words. Friends, When the judicial system expands along with the society and there is a natural tendency to adopt modernity, then the changes that take place in the society are also visible in the justice system. We have seen during the Corona period how technology has become an integral part of the judicial system today. Today the e-Courts Mission is progressing rapidly in the country. Systems like ‘Virtual Hearing’ and ‘Virtual ‘Appearance’ are now becoming a part of our legal system. Apart from this, e-filing of cases is also being promoted. With the introduction of 5G services in the country, these systems will gain momentum and huge changes which are inherent in it are bound to happen. Therefore, every state will have to update and upgrade its systems keeping this in mind. It should also be our important goal to prepare our legal education in sync with technology. Friends, Sensitive justice system is an essential condition for a sound nation and a harmonious society. Therefore, I raised the issue of undertrials in the joint meeting of the Chief Justices of the High Courts. I urge all of you to do whatever can be done by the state governments for speedy trial of cases. State governments should also work with a humane approach regarding undertrial prisoners, so that our judicial system moves forward with a human ideal. Friends, The Constitution is supreme for the judicial system of our country. The judiciary, the legislature and the executive have been born out of this Constitution. Be it government, parliament and our courts, these three are in a way the children of the same mother in the form of the Constitution. If we look at the spirit of the Constitution, there is no room for debate and competition with each other even though the functions of all the three organs differ. Like the children of a mother, all the three organs have to serve Maa Bharati and have to take India to new heights in the 21st century. I hope that the churning in this conference will definitely bring out the elixir of legal reforms for the country. I request all of you that you must take out time to see the Statue of Unity and the expansion and development that have taken place in its entire campus. The country is now ready to move forward rapidly. You should perfectly fulfill whatever responsibility you have. This is my best wish for you.

He said that for a very long time the thinking was that facilities like education, roads, industries, hospitals are meant for big cities only. As far as hilly areas were concerned, even the basic facilities reached there last. This, the Prime Minister said, created a huge imbalance in the development of the country.

Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh ji Chouhan, my colleagues in the Union Cabinet, Ministers in the Madhya Pradesh government, my colleagues in Parliament, MLAs of Madhya Pradesh, other dignitaries and my dear brothers and sisters of Madhya Pradesh! Today, about 5.25 lakh poor families of Madhya Pradesh are getting the pucca house of their dreams. In a few days, the New Year, Vikram Samvat 2079, is going to start. The ‘Grih Pravesham’ (entry into a new house) ahead of New Year is a priceless moment of life in itself. I wish you all the very best. Friends, Some political parties in our country raised many slogans to eradicate poverty, but not much was done to empower the poor. It is my belief that once the poor are empowered, they get the courage to fight poverty. When efforts of an honest government and the empowered poor come together, poverty is also defeated. Therefore, whether it is the BJP government at the Center or the BJP governments in the states, they are engaged in empowering the poor following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath-Sabka Vikas’. Today’s program is part of this campaign. These 5.25 lakh houses built in villages under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana are not just a figure. These 5.25 lakh houses have become the hallmark of the empowered poor in the country. These 5.25 lakh houses are an example of the sense of service of the BJP government. These 5.25 lakh houses are a reflection of the campaign to make the poor women of the village ‘lakhpati’. These houses are being given to the poor in remote villages and tribal areas of Madhya Pradesh. I congratulate the people of Madhya Pradesh for these 5.25 lakh houses. Brothers and sisters, This campaign to give pucca houses to the poor is not just a government scheme. This is a commitment to entrust the villages and the poor. This is the first step to lifting the poor out of poverty and encouraging them to fight poverty. When the poor have a solid roof over their head, they are able to devote their full attention to the education of their children and other work. When the poor get home, there comes stability in their life. With this thinking, our government is giving top priority to the PM Awas Yojana. Those in the previous government had built only a few lakh houses during their tenure before I took over, whereas our government has given about 2.5 crore houses to the poor and two crore of those houses have been built in villages. Despite the Corona challenges in the last two years, this work was not slowed down. In Madhya Pradesh too, out of about 30.5 lakh sanctioned houses, more than 24 lakh houses have been completed. It is also greatly benefiting those sections of the society like Baiga, Sahariya and Bharia, who could never even dream of a pucca house. Brothers and sisters, The specialty of the BJP governments, wherever they are, is that they are grounded and work relentlessly to fulfill the needs and interests of the poor. In the PM Awas Yojana also, we took care that the houses provided to the poor should also be able to meet their other needs as well. Every house has a toilet, electricity connection under the Saubhagya scheme, LED bulbs under the Ujala scheme, gas connection under the Ujjwala scheme and water connection under the Har Ghar Jal Yojana. That is, the poor beneficiaries no longer need to visit government offices for these facilities. This thought of serving the poor is making the life of every countryman easier today. Friends, India is a country that worships Shakti. Navratri is going to start in a few days. Our goddesses annihilate the enemies and have been the worshippers of weapons. Our goddesses are the inspiration of knowledge, art and culture. Drawing inspiration from them, India of the 21st century is busy empowering itself and its women power. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is an important part of this campaign. Women also have ownership rights on about two crore houses built under the PM Awas Yojana. This ownership right has also strengthened the participation of women in other economic decisions of the household. This in itself is a study matter for the major universities of the world and the universities of Madhya Pradesh should also study it. Brothers and sisters, We have also taken the initiative to provide water to every household to relieve the women of problems. In the last two-and-a-half years, more than six crore families across the country have got pure drinking water connections under this scheme. When the scheme was launched, only 13 lakh rural households in Madhya Pradesh had piped water supply to their homes. Today we are very close to the milestone of providing piped water to 50 lakh families. We are committed to providing piped water to every rural household of Madhya Pradesh. Friends, Today I want to assure all those poor people of the country, including Madhya Pradesh, that the campaign to build houses is going on rapidly. Still, some people have not got pucca houses. I am fully aware of this. I want to tell you that a provision has been made to allocate money to build more than 80 lakh houses across the country in this year’s budget. And lakhs of families of Madhya Pradesh are also set to benefit. So far, more than 2.25 lakh crore rupees have been spent on this scheme. This money has been spent in the villages and it has given strength to the rural economy. When a house is built, those involved in the business of bricks, sand, bars, cement and the labourers are local. Therefore, the PM Awas Yojana is also creating new employment opportunities in the villages. Friends, Our country has seen many governments for decades after independence. But for the first time, the people of the country are seeing such a government that is with them shoulder to shoulder by becoming their companion in their happiness and woes. During the Corona crisis, the BJP government proved how sensitively it works for the poor, be it free vaccinations for the poor or free ration to the poor. Just now Shivraj ji described it in great detail. It was only two days ago that we decided that the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana would be continued for the next six months, so that the stove of the poor’s house keeps burning. Earlier the world faced problems due to Corona, and today the entire world is on the battlefield. As a result, there is a new crisis in different economic systems. Efforts are on to minimize the burden and provide help to the citizens of India as much as possible. Brothers and sisters, Our government has spent 2.60 lakh crore rupees for free ration to the poor during this biggest pandemic in 100 years. In the next six months, 80,000 crore rupees will be spent on this. Those who used to rob the people’s earnings earlier and fill their chests with that money continue to make fun of this scheme, spreading lies and confusion. Today I want to share something with the country. You too listen to it carefully. Friends, The people in the previous governments created fake names of four crore beneficiaries who were never born to loot the ration of the poor. Four crore is a huge figure. These four crore fake names were created on paper and the free ration was picked in the name of these four crore fake people and sold in the market through the backdoor. This money through illegal means would go into black accounts. Since we formed the government in 2014, we started searching for these fake names and removed them from the ration cards so that the poor could get their dues. Just imagine, they were looting crores of rupees every month by snatching morsels from the mouths of the poor. We installed modern machines in the ration shops to ensure that the ration for the poor does not get stolen. As you know, they also made fun of the campaign that we launched to install these machines at ration shops. They knew that the truth would come out if people would put their thumb impression on these machines. In order to prevent this, they spread lies that people would contact Corona if they used their thumb impressions. Our government put an end to all these fake games, and therefore, these people are now angry. Can you imagine what would have happened to the poor during the Corona crisis if transparency was not introduced in ration shops and these four crore fake names were not removed? The BJP government dedicated to the poor works day and night for the poor. Brothers and sisters, It is our endeavor to make available the basic facilities to every beneficiary faster during this ‘Amrit Kaal’ of freedom. On the strength of such efforts, we are working on the resolve to make the saturation of schemes i.e. 100% of each scheme should reach the beneficiaries. We are committed to ensuring that every beneficiary of any scheme should get the benefits at his doorsteps. The biggest advantage of this goal of saturation is that no poor will be left out of the benefits of the schemes and the government will reach everyone. This will not leave the possibility of any discrimination or corruption. ‘Sabka Saath and Sabka Vikas’ will be possible when there is a policy and intent to provide benefits to the poor sitting in the last row in society. Friends, We are also expanding the role of villages continuously. The economy of the village was only confined to agriculture for a long time. We are encouraging agriculture, farmers, herdsmen towards modern technology like drones and ancient systems like natural farming besides improving other capabilities of the villages. For a long time, economic activity in village households and on village land has been very limited, because the record of village property was not organized. Therefore, it was very difficult to secure loans from banks for business and set up industries and enterprises in the villages. Now legal documents of houses in villages are being prepared under the Swamitva Yojana. The survey is being done in more than 50,000 villages in all the districts of Madhya Pradesh. About three lakh property cards have been handed over to villagers. Such provisions will minimize disputes related to land and houses and it will be easier to take help from banks when needed. Friends, Today I want to congratulate Shivraj ji’s government on another milestone. MP has done a wonderful job, has set a new record and has left many states of the country behind in the government procurement of food grains. Today more money is being transferred to the bank account of farmers in MP than before and the number of government procurement centers has also increased. The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is also helping small farmers a lot. More than 13,000 crore rupees have been given to about 90 lakh small farmers of MP for their small expenses. Friends, The country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of its independence. Millions of brave sons and daughters of Mother India sacrificed their lives and comforts to ensure freedom for us. Their sacrifice has given us an independent life. We should also resolve during this Amrit Mahotsav to give something to our coming generations. It is very important that our efforts during this period become an inspiration for future generations and remind them of their duties. For example, together we can do one thing. I will definitely ask for a resolution when I am talking to lakhs of families in Madhya Pradesh. Let us resolve to develop 75 Amrit Sarovar (ponds) in every district on the occasion of the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence for our future generations from the New Year which is starting in the next two-four days till the next New Year. We have 12 months, 365 days. And if possible, I would like the Amrit Sarovar to be new and bigger in every district and the MNREGA money that comes from the government can be utilized for their construction. The construction of 75 Amrit Sarovar in every district during the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence will be very useful for the coming generations. It will benefit our mother earth a lot. Our mother earth is thirsty. We have drawn so much water that it becomes our duty as children of this mother earth to quench her thirst. As a result, new energy will be infused into the life of nature. This will benefit small farmers and women and besides, it will be an act of kindness to animals and birds. That is, the construction of 75 Amrit Sarovar in every district is a great act of humanity, which we must do. I urge all the state governments, local bodies and panchayats to work in this direction. Friends, This is the time to build a bright future for India. The bright future of India is possible only when the poor family has a better future. May this new house give a new direction to your family, give you the strength to move towards a new goal, infuse knowledge, skill and confidence in your children! With this wish, I congratulate all the beneficiaries for the ‘Grih Pravesham’.

India’s freedom struggle was strengthened by several movements by tribal communities such as Santhals, Tamars, Kols, Bhils, Khasis and Mizos to name a few. The revolutionary movements and struggles organized by the tribal communities were marked by their immense courage and supreme sacrifice. Tribal movements in different regions of the country against the British colonial rule got linked with the national freedom struggle and inspired Indians all over the country. However, the public at large is not much aware about these tribal heroes. Pursuant to the speech of Hon’ble Prime Minister on Independence Day of 2016, Government of India has sanctioned 10 tribal freedom fighter museums across the country. The date is the birth anniversary of Sri Birsa Munda who is revered as Bhagwan by tribal communities across the country. Birsa Munda fought bravely against the country against the exploitative system of the British colonial system and spearheaded movement against British oppression giving a call for ‘Ulgulan’ (Revolution). The declaration acknowledges the glorious history and cultural heritage of tribal communities. The day will be celebrated every year and would recognize the efforts of the tribals for preservation of cultural heritage and promotion of Indian values of valour, hospitality and national pride. Tribal Freedom Fighter Museum at Ranchi where Birsa Munda breathed his last will be inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister. Government of India has planned week long celebrations starting from 15th November to 22nd November 2021 to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of glorious history of tribal people, culture and achievements. As part of the celebration, several activities have been planned jointly with State Governments and the theme behind each activity is to show case the achievements of tribals in Indian Freedom struggle, various welfare measures taken by Government of India in education, health, livelihood, Infrastructure and skill development. The events will also display the unique tribal cultural heritage, their contributions in freedom struggle, practices, rights, traditions, cuisines, health, education and livelihood.",ভগৱান বীৰছা মুণ্ডাৰ জন্মদিন ১৫ নৱেম্বৰক জনজাতীয় গৌৰৱ দিৱস হিচাপে ঘোষণাৰ সিদ্ধান্তক কেন্দ্ৰীয় মন্ত্ৰীসভাৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-demise-of-noted-singer-krishnakumar-kunnath-popularly-known-as-kk/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the demise of noted singer, Krishnakumar Kunnath popularly known as KK.

The Prime Minister inspected the Guard of Honour, reviewed March Past by NCC contingents and also witnessed the NCC cadets displaying their skills in army action, slithering, microlight flying, parasailing as well as cultural programmes. The best cadets also received medal and baton from the Prime Minister. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister noted a different level of enthusiasm in the celebrations as the country is marking the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. The Prime Minister remembered with pride his NCC connection and credited his training as an NCC cadet for giving him the strength to carry out his responsibilities towards the nation. The Prime Minister paid tributes to Lala Lajpat Rai and Field Marshal Cariappa for their contribution in nation building. Both the brave sons of India have their jayanti today. The Prime Minister talked about the steps being taken to strengthen the NCC in the country in a period when the country is moving forward with new resolutions. For this, a high-level review committee has been set up in the country. In the last two years, 1 lakh new cadets have been created in the border areas of the country, he said. The Prime Minister elaborated on the steps being taken to open the doors of the defence establishments for girls and women. He noted the presence of the large number of the girl cadets and termed it to be a symbol of changing attitude of the nation. “Country needs your contribution and there are ample opportunities for that”, he told the girl cadets. He said now the daughters of the country are taking admission in Sainik Schools and women are getting major responsibilities in the army. The daughters of the country are flying fighter planes in the Air Force. “In such a situation, it should be our endeavour that more and more daughters should be included in NCC”, he added. Noting the young profile of the cadets, who are mostly born in this century, the Prime Minister underlined their role in taking the country towards 2047. “Your efforts and resolve and the fulfillment of those resolutions will be the achievement and success of India”, he said. The Prime Minister said no power of the world can stop the country whose youth starts moving ahead with the thinking of nation first. India’s success in the playfield and the startup ecosphere exemplify this very clearly, the Prime Minister said. In the Amrit Kaal i.e. from today to the next 25 years, the Prime Minister urged the cadets to combine their aspirations and actions with the development and expectations of the country. The Prime Minister also underlined the major role that today’s youngsters can play in the ‘vocal for local’ campaign. “If today’s youth resolves to use only those goods that have been created with the labour and sweat of an Indian, India’s destiny can be transformed”, he emphasized. The Prime Minister remarked that today on the one hand there are good possibilities related to digital technology and information, on the other hand, there are dangers of misinformation. He stressed that it is also necessary that the common man of our country should not fall prey to any rumour. He proposed that NCC cadets run an awareness campaign for this. The Prime Minister stressed that drugs should not reach the school/college where there is NCC or NSS. He advised the cadets to be free from drugs themselves and at the same time keep their campus free from drugs. Help the friends who are not in NCC-NSS to give up this bad habit too, he stressed. The Prime Minister asked the cadets to get associated with Self4Society portal which is working to give new energy to collective efforts of the country. More than 7 thousand organizations and 2.25 lakh people are associated with the portal.",কাৰিয়াপ্পা গ্ৰাউণ্ডত এনচিচি পিএম ৰেলী সম্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-addresses-closing-ceremony-of-year-long-celebrations-of-400th-birth-anniversary-of-lachit-borphukan-in-new-delhi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AB%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95/,"Releases book ‘Lachit Borphukan – Assam’s Hero who Halted the Mughals’ “Lachit Borphukan’s life inspires us to live the mantra of ‘Nation First’” “Lachit Borphukan’s life teaches us that instead of nepotism and dynasty, the country should be supreme” “Saints and seers have guided our nation since time immemorial” “Bravehearts like Lachit Borphukan showed that forces of fanaticism and terror perish but the immortal light of Indian life remains eternal” “The history of India is about emerging victorious, it is about the valour of countless greats” “Unfortunately, we were taught, even after independence, the same history which was written as a conspiracy during the period of slavery” “When a nation knows its real past, only then it can learn from its experiences and treads the correct direction for its future.

The Prime Minister also released the book – ‘Lachit Borphukan – Assam’s Hero who Halted the Mughals’ on the occasion. In line with the Prime Minister’s vision to honour the unsung heroes in a befitting manner, today’s occasion is celebrated to honour the 400th birth anniversary of Lachit Borphukan, the famous General of the Royal Army of the Ahom Kingdom of Assam who defeated the Mughals and successfully halted the ever-expanding ambitions of the Mughals under Aurangzeb. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister started with expressing his regard for the land of Assam which gave brave sons like Veer Lachit. “We bow to the valorous Lachit Borphukan on his 400th birth anniversary. He played pivotal role in preserving the culture of Assam”, he said The Prime Minister said, “India is celebrating the 400th birth anniversary of Lachit Borphukan at a time when the country is marking ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’.” Terming Veer Lachit’s exploits a glorious chapter of the history of Assam, the Prime Minister said “I salute this great tradition on the occasion of the festival of India’s eternal culture, eternal valour and eternal existence.” The Prime Minister reiterated India’s mood to get rid of the mentality of slavery and take pride in its heritage. India is not only celebrating its cultural diversity but also acknowledging the unsung heroes and heroines of its history. “Immortal sons of Maa Bharati like Lachit Borphukan are the inspiration of fulfilling the resolutions of the Amrit Kaal. They make us familiar with the identity and glory of our history and also spur us to dedicate ourselves to the nation ”, the Prime Minister added. “In the thousand-year-old history of human existence”, the Prime Minister remarked that there were numerous civilisations that walked the earth, many that seemed imperishable, but it was the wheel of time that brought them down to their knees. Pointing out the differences between other civilisations and India, the Prime Minister said that the world today assesses history based on the remains of such civilisations, but India which faced unexpected adversities in history and withstanding the unimaginable terror of foreign invaders still stands immortal with the same energy and consciousness. This happened because of the fact that whenever there was a crisis, some personality emerged to tackle that. In epoch, saints and scholars came to protect the spiritual and cultural identity of India. Bravehearts like Lachit Borphukan showed that forces of fanaticism and terror perish but the immortal light of Indian life remains eternal, the Prime Minister emphasised. Shedding light on the history of Assam, the Prime Minister said that it belongs to the precious heritage of India’s cultural journey. It is an amalgamation of thought and ideology, society and culture, and beliefs and traditions. Remarking on the unmatched bravery of the land of Assam and the Northeast, the Prime Minister said that the people of the land have witnessed Turks, Afghans and Mughals being driven away on numerous occasions. Even though the Mughals had captured Guwahati, it was bravehearts like Lachit Borphukan who won independence from the clutches of tyrannical rulers of the Mughal empire. The act of valour shown by Veer Lachit Borphukan at Saraighat was not just an example of unparalleled love for the motherland but he also had the power of uniting the entire Assam region where every citizen was ready to defend the motherland if required. “Lachit Borphukan’s bravery and fearlessness is the identity of Assam”, the Prime Minister remarked. “The history of India is not just about slavery”, the Prime Minister interjected, “The history of India is about emerging victorious, it is about the valour of countless greats.” He further added that India’s history is about standing against tyranny with unprecedented valour and courage. “Unfortunately, we were taught, even after independence, the same history which was written as a conspiracy during the period of slavery. After Independence, it was needed to change the agenda of foreigners who made us slaves, however, that was not done”, he said. The stories of fierce resistance to tyranny in every part of the country were wilfully suppressed. “There are countless stories of victory over tyranny during the long period of repression. The mistake of not giving those events in the mainstream is being rectified now, the Prime Minister said. He said that the fact that this event is taking place in Delhi is a reflection of this change. The Prime Minister complimented the Assam Government for taking steps to celebrate the legacy of its heroes. He mentioned the projects like a museum and a memorial in Assam to honour its heroes. He said that such steps will help the younger generation to know the history of sacrifice and bravery. The Prime Minister said “Lachit Borphukan’s life inspires us to live the mantra of ‘Nation First.’ His life inspires us to rise above self and to give the highest priority to the national interest. His life teaches us that instead of nepotism and dynasty, the country should be supreme.” Taking instances from the life of Veer Lachit Borphukan, the Prime Minister said, “no person or relation is above nation”. The Prime Minister emphasised that when a nation knows its real past, only then it can learn from its experiences and treads the correct direction for its future. “It is our responsibility that our sense of history is not confined to a few decades and centuries”, he said. Referring to the lines from Bharat Ratna Bhupen Hazarika, the Prime Minister said only by repeatedly remembering we can give the coming generation a correct picture of history. The Prime Minister suggested creating a grand theatre play on Lachit Borphukan on the lines of the one on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and taking that to every corner of the country. This will give a great boost to the resolution of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’. “We have to make India developed and make Northeast, the hub of India’s growth. I am sure that the spirit of 400th Jayanti of Veer Lachit Borphukan will give strength to our resolve and the nation will achieve its goals”, the Prime Minister concluded. Upon arriving, the Prime Minister took a view of the rural Assam set-up being portrayed in the West Courtyard of Vigyan Bhawan and also took a tour of the exhibition on historical perspectives. This was followed by the Prime Minister lighting the lamp and paying floral tribute before the portrait of Lachit Borphukan. Governor of Assam, Prof Jagadish Mukhi, Chief Minister of Assam, Dr Himanta Biswa Sharma, Union Minister Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Members of Parliament, Justice (Retd.) Ranjan Gogoi, Shri Topon Kumar Gogoi and Members of the Assam Government were present, among others. Background It has been the constant endeavour of the Prime Minister to honour the unsung heroes in a befitting manner. In line with this, the country is celebrating 2022 as the 400th birth anniversary of Lachit Borphukan. The celebrations were inaugurated in February this year by the then Hon’ble President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind in Guwahati. Lachit Borphukan (24th November 1622 — 25th April 1672) was the famous General of the Royal Army of the Ahom Kingdom of Assam who defeated the Mughals and successfully halted the ever-expanding ambitions of the Mughals under Aurangzeb. Lachit Borphukan inspired the Assamese soldiers in the Battle of Saraighat fought in 1671, and delivered a crushing and humiliating defeat on the Mughals. The heroic fight of Lachit Borphukan and his army remains one of the most inspiring military feats of resistance in the history of our country.",নতুন দিল্লীত লাচিত বৰফুকনৰ ৪০০তম জন্ম জয়ন্তীৰ বছৰজোৰা উদযাপনৰ সামৰণি অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ প্ৰদা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-new-scheme-prime-ministers-development-initiative-for-north-east-region-pm-devine-for-the-remaining-four-years-of-the-15th-finance-commission-from-2022-23-to-2025/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A9%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%AB-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%AC-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%88-%E0%A6%AA/,"The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved a new Scheme, Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North East Region (PM-DevINE) for the remaining four years of the 15th Finance Commission from 2022-23 to 2025-26. The new Scheme, PM-DevINE, is a Central Sector Scheme with 100% Central funding and will be implemented by Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER). The PM-DevINE Scheme will have an outlay of Rs.6,600 crore for the four year period from 2022-23 to 2025-26 (remaining years of 15th Finance Commission period). Efforts will be made to complete the PM-DevINE projects by 2025-26 so that there are no committed liabilities beyond this year. This implies front-loading of the sanctions under the Scheme in 2022-23 and 2023-24 primarily. While expenditure would continue to be incurred during 2024-25 and 2025-26, focused attention will be given to complete the sanctioned PM-DevINE projects. PM-DevINE will lead to creation of infrastructure, support industries, social development projects and create livelihood activities for youth and women, thus leading to employment generation. PM-DevINE will be implemented by Ministry of DoNER through North Eastern Council or Central Ministries/ agencies. Measures would be taken to ensure adequate operation and maintenance of the projects sanctioned under PM-DevINE so that they are sustainable. To limit construction risks of time and cost overrun, falling on the Government projects would be implemented on Engineering-procurement-Construction (EPC) basis, to the extent possible. The objectives of PM-DevINE are to: (a) Fund infrastructure convergently, in the spirit of PM Gati Shakti; (b) Support social development projects based on felt needs of the NER; (c) Enable livelihood activities for youth and women; (d) Fill the development gaps in various sectors. There are other MDoNER Schemes for the development of North Eastern Region. The average size of projects under other MDoNER Schemes is about Rs.12 crore only. PM-DevINE will provide support to infrastructure and social development projects which may be larger in size and will also provide an end-to-end development solution instead of isolated projects. It will be ensured that there is no duplication of project support under PM-DevINE with any of the other schemes of MDoNER or those of any other Ministry/Department. PM-DevINE, was announced in the Union Budget 2022-23 to address development gaps in the North Eastern Region (NER). Announcement of PM-DevINE is yet another instance of the importance being attached to the development of NE Region by the Government. PM-DevINE is an additionality to the quantum of resources available for the development of the NER. It will not be a substitute for existing Central and State Schemes. While some of the projects to be approved for 2022-23 under PM-DevINE are part of the Budget announcement, projects with substantial socio-economic impact or sustainable livelihood opportunities for the general public (e.g., basic infrastructure in all Primary Health Care Centres, comprehensive facilities in Government Primary and Secondary Schools, etc) may be considered in the future. The justification for announcement of PM-DevINE is that the parameters of NE States in respect of Basic Minimum Services (BMS) are well below the national average and there are critical development gaps as per the BER District Sustainable Development Goad (SDG) Index 2021-22 prepared by NITI Aayog, UNDP and MDoNER. The new Scheme, PM-DevINE was announced to address these BMS shortfalls and development gaps.",২০২২-২৩ৰ পৰা ২০২৫-২৬ চনলৈ পঞ্চদশ বিত্ত আয়োগৰ বাকী থকা চাৰি বছৰৰ বাবে নতুন আঁচনি “উত্তৰ-পূব অঞ্চলৰ বাবে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ উন্নয়নমূলক পদক্ষেপ (পিএম-ডেভাইন)ত অনুমোদন কেবিনেট https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-demise-of-padma-shri-awardee-dr-sushovan-bandyopadhyay/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%81/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the demise of Padma Shri awardee Dr. Sushovan Bandyopadhyay.

Present in the program are Women and Child Development Minister Smt. Smriti Irani ji, all the cabinet members across the country, the senior citizens present with them, and especially dear children for whom this event is organized today, all respected Chief Ministers, other dignitaries and dear countrymen! Today I am talking to you not as the Prime Minister, but as a member of your family. I am very relieved to be among the children today. Friends, Life sometimes puts us in unexpected situations. All of a sudden darkness descends and everything changes in our happy existence. Corona has done something similar in the lives of many people and families. I know how difficult this change is in the lives of those who have lost their loved ones due to Corona. Every day’s struggles, moment-to-moment struggles, new challenges and every day’s hardships! It is difficult to put into words the pain of the children who are with us today, for whom this program has been organized. We are left with only a few memories of those who are gone. But those who survive are faced with a multitude of challenges. In such challenging times, the PM Cares for Children is a small effort to mitigate the difficulties of such Corona-affected children, whose parents are no more. Friends, The PM Cares for Children is also a reflection of the fact that every countryman is with you with utmost sensitivity. I am satisfied that their admission has been done in government or private schools near their homes for their proper and uninterrupted education. The expenses of copies, books and uniforms of such children will also be borne through the PM Cares. If someone needs an education loan for professional courses or for higher education, then PM Cares will help in that too. Monthly arrangement of Rs. 4,000 has also been made for their other daily needs through other schemes. Friends, When such children complete their schooling, then more money will be needed for future dreams. For this, youth from 18 to 23 years will get stipend every month. And when you turn 23 years, you will also get 10 lakh rupees. Friends, Another major concern is related to health. Money is needed for the treatment in the event of any disease. But, no child or his guardians need to worry about that either. Ayushman Health Card is also being given to you through the PM Cares for Children. With this card, you will also get free facility of treatment up to Rs. 5 lakhs. Friends, Amidst all these efforts, we realize that at times children may also need emotional support and mental guidance. Though there are elders in the family, the government has tried to make an effort. A special ‘Samvad’ service has also been started in this regard. Children can consult and discuss with experts on psychological matters on the ‘Samvad Helpline’. Friends, The entire humanity has suffered the severity of the Corona global pandemic. There is hardly any corner of the world where this greatest tragedy of the century has not inflicted unforgettable wounds! I salute all of you for the courage with which you have faced this crisis. The sympathy of the nation is with you and at the same time the entire nation is with you to fulfill your dreams. One more thing I would like to add is that no effort or help can replace the affection of your parents. But, in the absence of your father and your mother, Maa Bharati is with all of you in this hour of crisis. The country is trying to discharge this responsibility through the PM Cares for Children. And, these efforts are not merely the efforts of any one individual, institution or government. Crores of our countrymen have put in their hard earned money in the PM Cares. You can recall the examples of service and sacrifice! Someone donated his entire life’s earnings, while somebody else put his entire savings meant for his dreams in this fund. This fund helped a lot in developing hospitals, buying ventilators and setting up oxygen plants during the Corona period helping save many lives and the future of many families. Today this fund is being used for the children of all those who left us untimely, for the future of all of you. Friends, There is a long journey ahead in your life. All of you are facing this situation in life with great courage. All the great people in our country or in the world have also faced difficulties at some point in their life. But they did not give up and reached the pinnacle of success. They never allowed defeat to turn into desperation. This mantra of victory will guide and help you a lot in your life and you never have to forget it. You always have to keep one more thing in mind that now you have only your family and teachers to tell the difference between good and bad, right and wrong. Therefore, it is your responsibility to listen to them and follow them. Good books can also be your trusted friend during such crises. Good books not only entertain but also guide you. I will give you one more piece of advice. Friends, Treatment is needed when illness strikes. But life should be about health and not treatment. Today Fit India and Khelo India campaigns are going on in the country for children. You should join and lead all these campaigns. Yoga Day will also follow after a few days. It is very important that yoga should also be a part of your life along with your studies. Friends, A ray of light is definitely visible if we believe in ourselves even in the midst of the biggest atmosphere of despair. Our country itself is the biggest example of this. We are currently celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of our freedom. What was our greatest strength during hundreds of years of servitude, in our long struggle for freedom? Our strength was our habit of never giving up! Our strength was our values of thinking and living for the country and humanity by rising above our vested interests! We are moving ahead with this spirit in the ongoing Amrit Mahotsav of freedom. This spirit has helped the country in such a huge fight against Corona and has set an example in front of the world. You see, no one in the world knew about the Corona virus properly two-and-a-half years ago. Everyone was looking forward to the major countries of the world. No one was ready to talk positively about India. Rather, people were looking at India with great apprehension given the history of devastation during such situations. But India relied on its strength even in the midst of an atmosphere of negativity. We trusted our scientists, doctors and youth. And, we emerged as a ray of hope and not a concern for the world. We did not become the problem, rather we provided solutions. We sent medicines and vaccines to countries around the world. We provided vaccines to every citizen even in such a big country. Today, about 200 crore vaccine doses have been administered in the country. In the midst of this disaster, we also started a resolution of ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’ and today this resolution is rapidly moving towards accomplishment. Today we have become one of the fastest growing global economies after coming out of the ill effects of Corona. The world is looking at us today with a new hope and confidence. Friends, At a time when our government is completing its eight years, the confidence of the country and the countrymen in themselves is also unprecedented. The country, which was trapped in the vicious circle of corruption, scams worth thousands of crores, nepotism, terrorist organizations spreading across the country and regional discrimination before 2014, is now emerging. This is also an example for all the children that even the toughest days pass. India is now developing at a fast pace following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’. Be it the Swachh Bharat Mission, Jan Dhan Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana or Har Ghar Jal Abhiyan, the last eight years has been dedicated to the service and welfare of the poor. As a member of a family, we have tried to mitigate the problems of the poor and make their life easier. Nothing was spared to ensure what could proactively be done for the countrymen. When the earlier governments used to be nervous in using technology and the people were also not used to it, our government has ensured the rights of the poor by increasingly using the same technology. Now the poorest of the poor are confident that they will continue to get the benefit of the government’s schemes. Our government is now running a campaign of 100 percent empowerment to build up this trust. One of the top priorities of our government is that no poor should be left out of the benefits of government schemes and every poor should get their due. Nobody could imagine earlier the stature that India has attained in the last eight years. Today, India’s honour has improved in the world and its power has increased in the global forums. And I am glad that youth power is leading this journey of India. I am sure that all of you, our children and youth, will show the way to the country and the world with this courage and human sensitivity. Keep moving forward like this with a resolution, prepare to dedicate life to the resolution and your dreams will be realized for sure. Wherever you want to reach, no power in the world can stop you. If you have the passion, the determination within you and the potential to fulfill the resolution, then you never need to stop. As I said in the beginning, I am speaking to you as a family member. Today, I want to bless you as a family member. I do not know whether I have any right to give blessings or not, but I can see the potential in you. And, therefore, I’m giving blessings. May you go a long way, I wish you the very best.

Mai Dhore ji, all other dignitaries present here, ladies and gentlemen! Presently the country is celebrating ‘Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ marking 75 years of independence. Pune has a historical contribution in the independence of India. Lokmanya Tilak, Chapekar brothers, Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, Senapati Bapat, Gopal Krishna Deshmukh, RG Bhandarkar, Mahadev Govind Ranade ji – I pay my respectful homage to all the freedom fighters of this soil. Today is also the death anniversary of Rambhau Mhalgi, who was dedicated to the development of Maharashtra. Today, I am also commemorating Babasaheb Purandare ji with respect. Sometime back I got the privilege of inaugurating the grand statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ji, who is eternal in our hearts, will instil the spirit of patriotism in the younger generation, the future generations. Today several other projects related to the development of Pune have either been inaugurated or their foundation stones are being laid. I feel fortunate to have been invited by you to lay the foundation stone of Pune Metro earlier. And now you have also given me the opportunity to inaugurate it as well. Earlier, when the foundation stones used to be laid, nobody knew when the inauguration would take place. Friends, This event is important because it also carries a message that plans can be completed on time. Today, work is also being started on a project worth Rs 1100 crore to make the Mula-Mutha river free from pollution. Today Pune has also got e-buses. The depot of e-bus has been inaugurated at Baner. I would like to congratulate Usha ji for everything. Today, Pune has also received another wonderful gift in the form of an art gallery museum dedicated to RK Laxman ji. I congratulate Usha ji and her entire family as I have been in constant touch with her. I congratulate her enthusiasm, dedication and hard work. She had been working day and night to complete the work. My best wishes to Usha ji & the entire family. Today, I congratulate the people of Pune for all these facilities and also congratulate both our Mayors and the entire team for moving ahead with several development projects at a fast pace. Brothers and sisters, Pune has been famous for its cultural, spiritual and patriotic consciousness. And at the same time, Pune has continuously strengthened its identity in the field of Education, Research and Development, IT and Automobile. In such a situation, modern facilities are the needs of the people of Pune. And our government is working on myriad fronts keeping this need of the people of Pune in mind. I travelled by the Pune Metro from Garware to Anand Nagar just a short while back. This metro will ease mobility in Pune, give relief from pollution and jams and at the same time increase the ease of living of the people of Pune. 5-6 years ago, when Devendra ji was the Chief Minister here, he used to come to Delhi every now and then for this project. With great ardour and enthusiasm he would follow this project. I wish to applaud his efforts. Friends, This section is ready for service today even in the midst of the Corona pandemic. Solar power is also being extensively used for the operation of Pune Metro. This will stop the emission of about 25 thousand tons of carbon dioxide every year. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all the people associated with this project, especially all the workers. Your contribution will be of great help to the professionals of Pune, the students here as well as the ordinary citizens here. Friends, You are all well aware of how fast urbanisation is taking place in our country. It is believed that by 2030 our urban population will cross 60 crore. The growing population of cities brings with them not just several opportunities but also challenges. Flyovers can be built in cities only to a certain extent. As the population increases, how many flyovers could possibly be built? Where would you make it? How many roads could you widen? Where would you do it? In such a situation, we have only one option – Mass Transportation. We need more construction of systems of mass transportation. That is why today our government is paying special attention to the means of mass transportation, especially metro connectivity. Till 2014, there was a massive expansion of Metro in only Delhi-NCR region of the country. It had started reaching only 1 or 2 other cities around that time. But today, in more than 2 dozen cities of the country, the metro has either become operational or is going to start soon. Maharashtra also has a stake in this. Be it Mumbai, Pune-Pimpri Chinchwad, Thane or Nagpur, today the metro network in Maharashtra is expanding very rapidly. Today, on this occasion, I want to request the people of Pune and of every city where metro is currently running. I want to make a special request to the upper strata of the society that no matter how big, rich or influential we are, every section of the society should inculcate the habit of travelling by the Metro rail. The more you travel by the metro, the more you will help your city. Brothers and sisters, In 21st century India, we also have to modernise our cities and add new facilities to them. Keeping in mind the futuristic city of India, our government is working simultaneously on several projects. Our government is trying to ensure that every city has more and more green transport, electric buses, electric cars, electric two wheelers and smart mobility; people are using only one card for transport facilities; every city has Integrated Command and Control Centre to make the facility smart; every city has modern waste management system to strengthen the circular economy; every city has adequate modern sewage treatment plants to make every city water plus with better conservation of water sources. The government is also ensuring that there are Gobardhan plants in every city to create ‘Waste to Wealth’ systems; there are biogas plants; every city emphasizes on energy efficiency and the streets of every city are illuminated with smart LED bulbs. We are moving ahead with this vision. In order to improve the drinking water and drainage conditions in the cities, we are taking various initiatives under the AMRUT Mission. We also made a law like RERA to help the middle class families who were once troubled due to the absence of this law; who had to wait for years to get the house despite making the payment. The promises made on papers were never delivered. They used to get only promises except the house. So, there were several challenges. In a way, our middle-class families, who wanted to build a house with the entire life’s savings, used to feel cheated even before the house was built. This RERA law is doing a great job to protect the middle class people, who want to build a house. We are also developing a healthy competition for development in the cities so that cleanliness becomes the main focus of the local bodies. These topics related to urban planning have also been given a lot of attention in this year’s budget. Brothers and sisters, Pune’s identity is also being developed as a centre for green fuel. We are focusing on biofuel, on ethanol, to get rid of pollution, to reduce foreign dependence on crude oil, and to increase farmers’ income. Ethanol blending facilities have been set up on a large scale in Pune. With this, the sugarcane farmers in and around this area will also benefit a lot. Today, the Municipal Corporation has started several projects to make Pune clean and beautiful. These projects worth hundreds of crores of rupees are going to be very useful in freeing Pune from recurring floods and pollution. The central government is providing complete support to the Pune Municipal Corporation for the cleanliness and beautification of the Mula-Mutha river. If the rivers are rejuvenated, the people of the city will also get a huge relief, a new energy. And I would urge the people living in the cities to celebrate the river festival once a year after fixing a date. We should inculcate a sense of reverence for the river, realize the importance of the river, and take training from an environmental point of view. Only then we will understand the importance of our rivers. Only then we will understand the importance of every single drop of water. Friends, The most important thing for the development of modern infrastructure in any country is speed and scale. But for decades, we had such systems due to which the completion of vital projects used to take a long time. This sluggish attitude has been affecting the development of the country as well. In today’s fast growing India, we have to focus on speed as well as scale. That is why our government has formulated the PM-Gatishakti National Master Plan. We have seen that often the reason for delay in projects is lack of coordination between different departments, different ministries and governments. As a result, even when a project was completed after years, it became outdated and lost its relevance. PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan will work to remove all these contradictions. When work is done with an integrated focus and every stakeholder has enough information, then our projects will also be more likely to be completed on time. Consequently, people’s problems will be reduced, the money of the country will be saved and people will also get the provisions sooner. Brothers and sisters, I am glad that along with modernity, the history and traditions of Pune as well as the pride of Maharashtra are being given equal place in urban planning. This land has been of inspiring saints like Sant Dnyaneshwar and Sant Tukaram. I got the privilege of laying the foundation stone of Sreesanth Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Palkhi Marg and Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi Marg just a few months back. Taking pride in its history let this development journey of modernity continue like this. With this wish, once again my heartiest congratulations to all the people of Pune! Thanks a lot!",মহাৰাষ্ট্ৰৰ পুনেত একাধিক উন্নয়নমূলক প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন আৰু উদ্বোধন কৰি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সম্বোধনৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-remembers-guru-gobind-singh-ji-on-his-350th-prakash-parv/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A9%E0%A7%AB%E0%A7%A6%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B6-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AA/,"The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi paid homage to 10th Sikh Guru Guru Gobind Singh ji on his 350th Prakash Parv.

Jai Hind! Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Bharat Mata Ki Jai! The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh Shri BD Mishra ji, the young and popular Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh Shri Pema Khandu ji, my cabinet colleague Shri Kiren Rijiju ji, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Chowna Mein ji, respected MPs, MLAs, mayor, all other dignitaries and my dear brothers and sisters of Arunachal Pradesh! I have visited Arunachal several times. Whenever I come, I leave with a fresh energy and a new zeal. I have lost count of the number of times I visited Arunachal. But this is the first time that I am witnessing such a grand event at 9.30 in the morning. The people gathering here from the mountains of Arunachal shows the importance of development work in your lives. That is why you all have come here in such large numbers to shower your blessings. Brothers and Sisters, I must stress upon the warmth and affection of the people of Arunachal. The people of Arunachal always have big smiles on their faces. They never show any pessimism or despair. And they are known for their discipline. They set the perfect example of what discipline means on the borders. It is visible in every house, in every family and in every person’s life in Arunachal. This double engine government’s hard work and commitment for development under the leadership of our Chief Minister Pema ji is taking Arunachal to this new height today. I congratulate Pema ji and his entire team. You might remember; even Pema ji has mentioned that the foundation stone of this airport was laid in February 2019 and I was fortunate to have laid the foundation stone. And as you are aware that in our work culture, we inaugurate every project whose foundation stone is laid by us. The period of keeping the projects in limbo is gone. But let me mention one more thing. I laid its foundation stone in February 2019. The elections were scheduled for May 2019. All these political spokespersons and commentators, with an old mindset had started shouting and writing that the airport would never come up. Elections are round the corner and that’s why Modi has come here to lay the foundation stone. They see elections as the reason behind everything. It has become fashionable to paint every good work in the colours of elections. The inauguration of this airport today is a befitting reply to all these people, a slap on their faces. And I request these political commentators to change their old way of thinking. This country is moving forward with a new zeal and enthusiasm. So, stop weighing it with the scales of politics. The people who used to call it an election gimmick are seeing our airport taking shape in this grand and modern form within three years. And I am fortunate that in the presence of lakhs of people we are inaugurating it. Today the entire Arunachal is connected with us online. This is also a matter of great pride. There is no election round the corner. Yet the inauguration is happening because this government’s priority is the development of the country and the development of the people of the country. 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, we work only for the development of the country. And you see, right now I am in Arunachal where the sun rises first while in the evening I will be in Daman where the sun sets. I will also visit Kashi in between. We are working wholeheartedly with only one dream – my country should move forward. We never work keeping the elections in mind. Our dream is only and only Maa Bharti, India and 130 crore citizens. Today, along with this airport, the 600 MW Kameng Hydro Project has also been inaugurated. This is also a great achievement in itself. This combination of the ‘flight’ of development and the ‘energy’ for development will take Arunachal to new heights at a new pace. For this achievement, I congratulate my dear brothers and sisters of Arunachal Pradesh and all the Northeastern states. I extend my best wishes to all. After independence, the Northeast has witnessed a completely different era. For decades, this area has been a victim of neglect and apathy. At that time, the people who formulated policies in Delhi only aimed at winning the elections here. You are well aware that this situation continued for several decades. When Atal ji’s government was formed, for the first time an attempt was made to change the situation. It was the first government to create a separate ministry for the development of the Northeast. But the government after him did not take that momentum forward. A new phase of change had begun after 2014, when you gave me the opportunity to serve. The previous governments used to believe that Arunachal Pradesh was a remote place. The places on the far-flung border areas were earlier considered to be the last villages. But our government has marked these places as not the last villages, rather the first villages of the country. As a result, the development of the Northeast became the priority of the country. Now be it culture or agriculture, commerce or connectivity – Northeast gets top priority, not the last. Be it trade or tourism, telecom or textiles – the Northeast gets the top priority. From drone technology to Krishi Udan, from airports to ports connectivity – the Northeast is now the priority of the country. Be it India’s longest bridge or the longest railroad bridge, laying a rail line or building a highway at a record speed – the Northeast comes first for the country. As a result, today a new era of hope and opportunities has begun in the Northeast. Today’s event is a great example of this approach of New India. Donyi-Polo Airport is the fourth operational airport in Arunachal Pradesh. Throughout the seven decades since independence, there were only 9 airports in the entire Northeast. But our government has built seven new airports in just eight years. There are many such areas here, which are now connected with air connectivity after 75 years of independence. Consequently, now the number of flights to and from the Northeast has more than doubled. Friends, This Donyi-Polo airport of Itanagar is also a symbol of Arunachal Pradesh’s history and culture. And Pema ji was telling me that Donyi means the Sun and Polo means the Moon. And I see the ‘Donyi-Polo culture of Arunachal’ as a lesson for our development journey as well. Light is the same, but the rays of the sun and the coolness of the moon both have their own importance and power. Similarly, when we talk about development, whether it is a major development project or a public welfare scheme for the poor, both are important aspects of development. Today, equal importance is given to the major infrastructure projects like the airport as well as to the facilities for the poor. If an airport is built today, work is also done on the ‘UDAN’ scheme to ensure that the common man gets its benefit. After the flight services begin, we also work on subjects like: how the number of tourists can be increased or how small traders, shopkeepers and taxi drivers can get the benefits from it. Friends, Today in Arunachal Pradesh, roads and highways are being built in not only the border areas but also at the most difficult terrains. The central government is going to spend about Rs 50 thousand crore more for the construction of roads. With such well-developed infrastructure, a large number of tourists will also throng this place. Nature has beautified every corner of Arunachal. There are immense possibilities of tourism expansion in every village. The income of every family can increase through homestays and local products. For that, there should be arrangements to reach every village. That is why, today roads have been built in more than 85 percent villages of Arunachal Pradesh under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak scheme. Friends, After the construction of the airport and better infrastructure facilities, a huge potential for cargo facilities will be developed in Arunachal. With this, the farmers here will be able to easily sell their produce in big markets outside Arunachal. They will make several times more money than at present. The farmers of Arunachal are also getting a lot of benefits under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Friends, Bamboo cultivation is also an example of how our government is working for the Northeast. Bamboo is an important part of the lifestyle here. Today bamboo products are becoming popular all over the country and the world. But since the time of British rule, there were such legal restrictions on cutting bamboo that it had become a hindrance in the lives of our tribal brothers and sisters, and the people of our Northeastern region. So, we changed that law. Now you can grow bamboo, cut bamboo, sell bamboo, add value to bamboo, and conduct business in the open market. Just as we grow crops, we can also grow bamboo. Brothers & Sisters, As soon as the poor are freed from the basic concerns of life, they start creating new dimensions of development for themselves as well as for the country. Today the priority of the country is to ensure that the poorest of the poor people come out of neglect and misery and get a dignified life. Earlier it was said that education and healthcare are always a problem in the mountains. But now, besides good healthcare facilities, arrangements have also been made for free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh each under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Every poor is being given a pucca house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. In tribal areas, the central government is opening Eklavya Model Schools by spending Rs 500 crore, so that no tribal child is left behind in education. Efforts are being made to bring those youngsters who have deviated to the path of violence due to some reason, back into the mainstream through a separate policy. A separate fund has been created for them. To connect with the power of Startup India, Arunachal Pradesh is also walking hand-in-hand through Arunachal Startup Policy. That is, our eternal stream of development is reaching the villages, the poor, the youth as well as the women and becoming their strength today. Friends, After 2014, the country started a campaign to provide electricity to every village. The villages of Arunachal Pradesh have also benefited a lot from this campaign. There were many such villages here, where electricity had reached for the first time after independence. Thereafter, the central government started a campaign to connect every household with electricity under the Saubhagya scheme. Here in Arunachal too, thousands of households were given free electricity connections. And when electricity reached the houses here, it illuminated not only the houses but also the lives of the people here. Brothers & Sisters, We are working on the mission of taking the journey of development to every village and every household of Arunachal Pradesh. It is our endeavour to empower the border villages by giving them the status of ‘Vibrant Border Village’. When new doors of possibilities open up in every village adjacent to the border, prosperity will automatically begin. Under the Vibrant Border Village Programme, work is going on at a rapid pace to stop migration from border villages and promote tourism there. A special campaign has been started by the government to connect the youth of border areas with NCC. We are trying to ensure that there is maximum participation of the youth from the villages situated along the border in the NCC. The children of these villages joining NCC will get training from army officers. This will not only pave the way for a bright future for the youth, but will also inculcate in them a spirit of service towards the country. Friends, Following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, the double engine government is committed to the development of Arunachal Pradesh and ‘Ease of Living’ for the people. I hope that this ‘Arun’ or ‘sun’ of development continues to spread its light here like this. I once again congratulate Pema ji and his entire government for their active cooperation in taking forward all these central Government schemes.

The Prime Minister also inaugurated the sixth edition of the India Mobile Congress and also witnessed the IMC Exhibition that was put on the occasion. Industry leaders expressed their views on this historic occasion. Shri Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, Reliance, thanked the Prime Minister for inspiring the vision of a developed nation by 2047. “Every action and policy of the government is skillfully crafted to propel India, towards that goal. Steps taken to fast-track India’s march into the 5G era provide compelling proof of our Prime Minister’s determination”, he said. He narrated the possibilities of 5G in key areas like education, education and climate etc. “Your leadership has raised India’s prestige, profile and power globally like never before. In today’s fast-changing world there will be no stopping a resurgent India from soaring to the top”, Shri Ambani concluded. Shri Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman, Bharti Enterprise remarked that the launch of 5G is the beginning of a new era and since it is happening during Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, it makes it even more special. “With the efforts of the Prime Minister, this will usher new energy in the country. We are fortunate to have a leader in the Prime Minister who understands technology very minutely and deployed that to the development of the country in an unmatched manner”, he added. Shri Mittal further said that it will open up a sea of opportunities for people, especially in our rural areas. He recalled the Prime Minister’s initiatives in the field of infrastructure and technology from his Gujarat CM days. He said that during the pandemic, traffic shifted to villages and homes and the country’s heartbeat did not stop even for a second. Credit for that goes to the digital vision. He also praised the audacity and achievement of the vision of Make in India.“Along with Digital India, the Prime Minister also took forward the Start-up India campaign and soon enough, India started producing unicorns”, Shri Mittal added, “With the advent of 5G, I’m sure that the country will add many more unicorns in the world.” Shri Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group called the advent of 5G a transformational event that proves India’s prowess on the global stage and reiterates the role of telecom technology as the bedrock of India’s growth. He thanked the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for his vision and leadership for a generational leap in technology that has resulted in India making a mark on the global stage. He also thanked the Prime Minister for his inspirational role in supporting the telecom industry during the ongoing pandemic and for the path-breaking telecom reforms in the industry. Shri Birla said that the launch of 5G marks the beginning of an exciting journey for India. “We will see limitless potential for 5G development and use cases in the years to come”, he added. The three major telecom operators of the country demonstrated one use case each in front of the Prime Minister to show the potential of 5G technology in India. Reliance Jio connected a teacher from a school in Mumbai, with students in three different locations in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Odisha. This demonstrated how 5G will facilitate education by bringing teachers closer to students, obliviating the physical distance between them. It also demonstrated the power of Augmented Reality (AR) on screen and how that is being used to teach children across the country, remotely, without the need for an AR device. The Prime Minister interacted with students from Dnyanjyoti Savitribai Phule School, Raigad, Maharashtra in presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister, Shri Eknath Shinde. Students from Ropda Primary School, Gandhinagar, Gujarat connected in presence of Gujarat Chief Minister, Shri Bhupendra Patel. The Prime Minister also interacted with students from SLS Memorial School, Myurbhanj, Odisha in presence of Odisha Chief Minister, Shri Navin Patnaik. Shri Abhimanyu Basu, Dhirubhai Ambani Int. School, BKC, Mumbai also demonstrated the use of 5G technology. The Prime Minister noted the enthusiasm of the students for technology in education. Author Amish Tripathi introduced the segment. The Vodafone Idea test case demonstrated the safety of workers in an under-construction tunnel of Delhi Metro through the creation of a Digital Twin of the tunnel on the dias. Digital Twin will help give safety alerts to workers in real time from a remote location. PM took a live demo from the dias to monitor the work in real-time through utilising VR and Artificial Intelligence. The Prime Minister interacted with Shri Rinku Kumar, a worker in Delhi Metro Tunnel Dwarka, New Delhi in presence of Delhi Lieutenant Governor, Shri Vinai Saxena. The Prime Minister inquired about the user experience and learning curve needed to adopt the technology. He said that workers’ confidence in safety is the biggest contribution of new tech. He complimented the workers of India for their contribution to the nation’s growth. In the Airtel demo, students from Dankaur, Uttar Pradesh witnessed a lively and immersive education experience to learn about the solar system with the help of Virtual reality and Augmented reality. A student Khushi, shared her experience of learning with the PM by appearing on the dias through a hologram. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Shri Yogi Adiyanath connected from Rudraksh Convention Centre, Varanasi. The Prime Minister inquired if the VR education experience helped them understand the concepts in a comprehensive way. The student said that after this experience she is much more inclined toward learning new things. Addressing the gathering the Prime Minister said that the Summit today might be global but its repercussions and directions are local. He said today is a special day for the fast-developing India of the 21st century. “Today, 130 crore Indians are getting a wonderful gift in the form of 5G from the country and from the telecom industry of the country. 5G is a knock on the doors of a new era in the country. “5G is the beginning of an infinite sky of opportunities. I congratulate every Indian for this.”, he added. He noted with satisfaction that in this launch of 5G and the march of technology, rural areas and workers are equal partners. Stressing one more message of the 5G launch, the Prime Minister said” New India will not remain a mere consumer of technology, but India will play an active role in the development and implementation of that technology. India will play a big role in designing the future wireless technology, and manufacturing related to it.”The Prime Minister pointed out that India was dependent on other countries for 2G, 3G and 4G technologies. But with 5G, India has created a new history. “With 5G, India is setting a global standard in telecom technology for the first time”, he remarked. Talking about Digital India, the Prime Minister said that some people think that this is just a government scheme. “But Digital India is not just a name, it is a big vision for the development of the country. The goal of this vision is to bring that technology to the common people, which works for the people, works by connecting with the people.” Focussing on the need for a holistic approach to Digital India, the Prime Minister elaborated that “we focused on 4 Pillars, in four directions at once. First, the price of the device, Second, digital connectivity, Third, the cost of data, Fourth, and most importantly, the idea of ‘digital first’ . Regarding the first pillar, the Prime Minister said that the low cost of devices can only be achieved through Aatmnirbharta. The Prime Minister recalled that there were only two mobile manufacturing units in India till eight years ago. “These numbers have now gone up to 200”, Shri Modi said. The Prime Minister underlined that from exporting zero mobile phones in 2014, today we have become a mobile phone exporting country worth thousands of crores. “Naturally, all these efforts have had an impact on the cost of the device. Now we have started getting more features at a lower cost”, he added. On the second pillar of digital connectivity, the Prime Minister informed that internet users have increased to 80 crores from 6 crores in 2014. From less than 100 panchayats in 2014 now 1.7 lakh panchayats are connected by optical fiber. “Just as the government started a door-to-door campaign to provide electricity, worked on the mission of providing clean water to everyone through the Har Ghar Jal Abhiyan, and delivered gas cylinders to the poorest of the poorest people through the Ujjwala scheme, our Government is working in a similar manner on the goal of Internet for all”, he said. Regarding the third pillar, the cost of data, the Prime Minister said that the industry was given a slew of incentives and technologies like 4G received policy support. This brought down the price of data and a data revolution was ushered in the country. These three pillars started showing their multiplier effect everywhere, he said. On the topic of the fourth pillar i.e. Idea of ‘Digital First’, the Prime Minister recalled the time when a handful of the elite class questioned if the poor would even understand the meaning of digital and doubted their potential, the Prime Minister said that he always had faith in the understanding, wisdom and inquisitive mind of the common man of the country. He said that he always found the poor of the country ready to adopt new technologies. Highlighting the government’s efforts in the field of digital payments, the Prime Minister remarked that it was the government that went ahead and made the way for digital payments easier. “The government itself promoted citizen-centric delivery service through the app. Whether it is about farmers or small shopkeepers, we have given them a way to meet their daily needs through the app”, Shri Modi added. He recounted the seamless continuation of DBT, education, vaccination and health services, and work-from-home during the pandemic when many countries were finding it difficult to keep these services going. Remarking that Digital India has given a platform, the Prime Minister said that small traders, small entrepreneurs, local artists and artisans can now market to everyone. Shri Modi added, “Today you go to a local market or vegetable market and see, even a small street vendor will tell you, not to transact in cash, but via ‘UPI’.” “This shows”, the Prime Minister added, “When a facility is available, thinking also gets emboldened”. The Prime Minister said when the government works with clean intentions, the intentions of citizens also undergo change. “This is the key difference in the intention (niyat) of 2G and 5G”, he remarked. The Prime Minister said that the cost of data is among the lowest in the world. It has come down from 300 rupees per GB to about 10 rupees per GB. Remarking on the consumer-centric focussed efforts of the government, the Prime Minister said that the cost of data in India has remained very low due. The Prime Minister interjected, “It is a different matter that we did not make a fuss about, and did not launch big advertisements. We focused on how the convenience and Ease of Living of the people of the country increased.” “India may not have benefitted from the first three industrial revolutions, but I am confident that India will take full benefit of the 4th industrial revolution and, in fact, will lead it”, he added. The Prime Minister informed that the use of 5G technology will not be limited to speedy internet access, but it has the capability to change lives. He said that we will see the promises of the technology realized in our lifetimes. Shri Modi urged the leaders of the telecom industry association to visit the schools and colleges of the country and unleash every aspect of this new technology. He also asked them to create an enabling ecosystem for MSMEs to prepare spare parts for electronic manufacturing. “5G technology should be used to bring about a revolution in the country”, he remarked. The Prime Minister highlighted the use of drone technology that has been made possible after the newly launched Drone Policy. He pointed out that many farmers have learnt how to fly drones and started making use of them to spray insecticides and pesticides in the fields. The Prime Minister assured one and all that India of the future will guide the world in the upcoming technology sector, in turn making India a global leader. Union Minister of Communications, Shri Ashvini Vaishnaw, Union Minister of State for Communications, Shri Devusinh Chauhan, Chairman of Reliance Industries, Shri Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, Shri Sunil Mittal, Chairman of Aditya Birla Group, Shri Kumar Mangalam Birla and Secretary, Department of Telecommunications, Shri K Rajaraman were those present on the occasion. Background 5G technology will offer a wide range of benefits to the common people. It will help in providing seamless coverage, high data rate, low latency, and highly reliable communications. Also, It will increase energy efficiency, spectrum efficiency and network efficiency. 5G technology will help in connecting billions of Internet of Things devices, will allow higher quality video services with mobility at high speed, and delivery of critical services such as telesurgery and autonomous cars among others. 5G will help in real-time monitoring of disasters, precision agriculture, and minimising the role of humans in dangerous industrial operations such as in deep mines, offshore activities etc. Unlike existing mobile communication networks, 5G networks will allow tailoring of requirements for each of these different use cases within the same network The IMC 2022 is scheduled to be held from 1st to 4th October with the theme of “New digital Universe”. It will bring together leading thinkers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and government officials to discuss and showcase unique opportunities emerging from the rapid adoption and spread of digital technology.",৫জি সেৱা শুভাৰম্ভ কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-falguni-shah-on-winning-award-for-best-childrens-music-album-at-grammys/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%89/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Falguni Shah on winning the award for the Best Children’s Music Album at the Grammys.

I am happy that I got the opportunity to connect with you virtually at the seventh Eastern Economic Forum being held in Vladivostok. This month marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Consulate of India in Vladivostok. India was the first country to open a Consulate in this city. And since then, the city has been a witness to many milestones of our relationship. Friends, The forum, established in 2015, has today become a major global forum for international cooperation in the development of the Russian Far East. For this, I appreciate President Putin’s vision, and also congratulate him. In 2019, I had the opportunity to participate in this forum. At that time, we announced India’s “Act Far-East” policy. And as a result, India’s cooperation with the Russian Far East has increased in various fields. Today, this policy has become a key pillar of the “Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership” of India and Russia. Friends, Whether we talk about the International North-South Corridor, the Chennai- Vladivostok Maritime Corridor or the Northern Sea Route, connectivity will play an important role in the development of our relations in the future. India is keen to strengthen its partnership with Russia on Arctic issues. There is also immense potential for cooperation in the field of energy. Along with energy, India has also made significant investments in the Russian Far East in the areas of pharma and diamonds. Russia can become an important partner for the Indian steel industry through the supply of coking coal. We can also have good cooperation in the mobility of talent. Indian talent has contributed to the development of many developed regions of the world. I believe that the talent and professionalism of Indians can bring about rapid development in the Russian Far East. Friends, India’s ancient doctrine “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” has taught us to see the world as a family. In today’s globalized world, events in one part of the world create an impact on the whole world. The Ukraine conflict and the Covid pandemic have had a major impact on global supply chains. Shortages of foodgrains, fertilizers, and fuels are a major concern for developing countries. Since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict, we have stressed the need to take the path of diplomacy and dialogue. We support all peaceful efforts to end this conflict. In this regard, we also welcome the recent agreement concerning the safe export of cereals and fertilizers. I once again thank President Putin for giving me the opportunity to address this forum. And extend my warmest greetings to all the participants present in this forum. Thank you very much.",ইষ্টাৰ্ণ ইকনমিক ফ’ৰাম ২০২২ৰ পূৰ্ণাংগ অধিৱেশনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-visits-matushri-k-d-p-multispeciality-hospital-in-atkot-rajkot/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B6/,"“This hospital is an example of the synergy between Government & Private on attempting to improve the lives of the people” “In the last 8 years, ‘Sewa’ to the poor, ‘Sushasan’ and ‘Gareeb Kalyan’ were accorded the highest priority” “No wrongdoing has taken place in the last 8 years which could cause embarrassment for the people of the country” “Government has started campaigns to attain saturation in the schemes” Today, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited the newly built Matushri K.D.P. Multispeciality Hospital in Atkot, Rajkot. Shree Patel Seva Samaj manages the hospital. It will make available high-end medical equipment and provide world-class healthcare facilities to the region’s people. Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel , Union Ministers Shri Parshottam Rupala, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Dr. Mahendra Munjapara, Members of Parliament, Gujarat Government Ministers and members of sant samaj were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister expressed his happiness about the inauguration of the hospital. He said this hospital is for improving the health services in Saurashtra. This hospital is an example of the synergy between Government & Private for attempting to improve the lives of the people. On the successful completion of 8 years of the NDA Government, the Prime Minister thanked the people for giving him the opportunity to serve the nation. He said that it was apt that he is on Gujarat soil on the eve of 8 years of service to the motherland. He bowed to the people of Gujarat for giving him opportunity and ‘sanskars’ to serve the country. He said that this service is in our culture, in our soil’s culture, and in Bapu and Patel’s culture. He said that no wrongdoing has happened in the last 8 years which would have caused embarrassment for the people of the country. In these years, service to the poor, ‘Sushasan’ and ‘Gareeb Kalyan’ were accorded the highest priority. He said that the mantra of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas Sabka Prayas gave a push for the nation’s development. The Prime Minister said Pujya Bapu and Sardar Patel dreamt for the empowerment of the poor, dalit, deprived, tribals, women etc.. An India where Swachata and Swasth have become a part of the nation’s consciousness. Bapu, said the Prime Minister, wanted an India where the economy is strengthened by Swadeshi solutions. He informed that now more than 3 crore families have got a pucca house, more than 10 Crore families have been freed from open defecation, more than 9 crore sisters have been freed from smoke in the kitchen, and more than 2.5 crore families have got electricity connection, more than 6 crore families have got drinking water connection and more than 50 crore beneficiaries have got health coverage for up to Rs. 5 lakh free of cost. He said these are not mere numbers but proof of our dedication to ensure the dignity of the poor and of the nation’s service. The Prime Minister said that even during one in 100 years pandemic they have made sure the poor don’t feel any difficulty in their lives. Money was deposited in Jan Dhan bank accounts, free cylinders were given to the poor, and testing and vaccines were given free of cost for everyone. The Prime Minister said even when war is going on now, we have attempted to ease the life of the people. He said that his government has started campaigns to attain saturation in the schemes. When everyone gets their due, there is no scope of discrimination and corruption, he emphasized. He said this attempt will ease the lives of the poor and middle class. Speaking in Gujarati, the Prime Minister complimented the Patel community for their great work of public service. Recalling his days as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the Prime MInister said that in 2001 when the people of Gujarat gave him the opportunity to serve them, there were only 9 medical colleges, now there are 30 medical colleges in Gujarat. “I wish to see a medical college in every district of Gujarat and the country. We have changed the rules and now medical and engineering students can study in their mother tongue”, he said. Talking about industry, Shri Modi said earlier industry was visible only from Vadodara to Vapi, now industry is flourishing everywhere in Gujarat. Highways have broadened and MSME has emerged as a great strength of Gujarat. Pharmaceutical industry is also booming. Identity of Saurashtra is the courageous character of its people, he said. Striking a personal note, the Prime Minister said that he understands poverty and how women of the family keep on working despite being unwell and avoid taking treatment so that the family is not inconvenienced. “Today you have a son in Delhi who has ensured that no mother goes without treatment. That is why PMJAY scheme has been launched”, he said. Similarly, there are Jan Aushadhi Kendras for affordable medicine and International Yoga Day is being celebrated for the good health of everyone, The Prime Minister concluded.",ৰাজকোটৰ আটকোটস্থিত মাতুশ্ৰী কে.ডি.পি. মাল্টিস্পেচিয়েলিটি হাস্পতাল পৰিদৰ্শন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-in-the-85th-episode-of-mann-ki-baat-on-30-01-2022/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A9%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A7-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4/,"My dear countrymen, Namaskar. Today we are coming together through yet another episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. This is the first ‘Mann Ki Baat’ of 2022. Today we will once again take forward discussions which are related to the positive inspirations and collective efforts of our country and countrymen. Today is also the death anniversary of our revered Bapu Mahatma Gandhi ji. The 30th of January reminds us of the teachings of Bapu. Just a few days ago, we celebrated Republic Day as well. The display of the nation’s valour and strength, which we witnessed on Rajpath in Delhi filled everyone with pride and enthusiasm. One change you must have noticed is that now the Republic Day functions will start from the 23rd of January, i.e. the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and will continue till the 30th of January i.e. Gandhiji’s death anniversary. A digital sculpture of Netaji has also been installed at India Gate. We can never forget the way the country welcomed this, the wave of joy that arose from every corner of the country; the kind of feelings expressed by every countryman. Friends, in the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the country is re-establishing its national symbols through these efforts. We saw that the ‘Amar Jawan Jyoti’ near India Gate and the Jyoti lit at the ‘National War Memorial’ in the vicinity, were merged. There were tears in the eyes of many countrymen and martyr families on this emotional occasion. At the ‘National War Memorial’, the names of all the bravehearts of the country who have been martyred since Independence have been inscribed. Some former soldiers of the army have written to me saying that – “The ‘Amar Jawan Jyoti’ lit at the memorial is a symbol of the immortality of the martyrs”. Truly, like ‘Amar Jawan Jyoti’ our martyrs, their inspiration and their contribution are also immortal. I would urge all of you to certainly visit the ‘National War Memorial’ whenever you get an opportunity. Do take along your family and children too. Here you will feel a different energy and inspiration. Friends, in the midst of these events of Amrit Mahotsav, many important national awards were also given away in the country. One of them is the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Baal Puraskaar. These awards are given to the children who have rendered courageous and inspirational work at a young age. We all must highlight about these children in our homes. Our children will also get inspiration from this and the enthusiasm to bring glory to the country will be awakened in them. Padma awards have also just been announced in the country. There are many names among the recipients of Padma awards, about whom very few people know. These are the unsung heroes of our country, who have done extraordinary deeds in ordinary circumstances. For example, Basanti Devi of Uttarakhand, who has been honored with Padma Shri, lived her whole life in the midst of struggles. Her husband died at an early age and she had started living in an ashram. Staying there, she fought to save the river and made an extraordinary contribution to the environment. She has also done a lot of work for the empowerment of women. Similarly, 77-year-old Lorembam Beino Devi of Manipur has been conserving the Liba textile art of Manipur for decades. She has also been awarded the Padma Shri. Arjun Singh of Madhya Pradesh has received Padma award for imparting recognition to the art of Baiga tribal dance. Another person to receive the Padma award is Shriman Amai Mahalinga Naik. He is a farmer and hails from Karnataka. Some people also call him Tunnel Man. He has made such innovations in agriculture, seeing which anyone could be surprised. Small farmers are getting huge benefit from his efforts. There are many more such unsung heroes who have been honoured by the country for their contribution. You must try to know about them. We will get to learn a lot from them in life. My dear countrymen, all of you send a lot of letters and messages, including many suggestions in connection with The Amrit Mahotsav. Under this series something has happened which is unforgettable for me. More than one crore children have written to me through their ‘Mann Ki Baat’ post cards. These one crore post cards have come from different parts of the country; they have also come from abroad. I have tried to take time out to read many of these post cards. These postcards show how broad and wide is the vision of our new generation for the future of the country. I have shortlisted some postcards for the listeners of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ which I want to share with you. Like this one is the post card of Riddhima Swargiyari from Guwahati, Assam. Riddhima is a student of class 7th and she has written that she wants to see an India in the 100th year of independence which is the cleanest country in the world, completely free of terrorism, included in the 100 percent literate countries, Zero accident country, and be capable of food security with sustainable technology. Riddhima, what our daughters think, the dreams they see for the country, do come true. When everyone’s efforts come together, when your young generation will work towards this goal, you will definitely make India the way you want her to be. I have also got a post card of Navya Verma of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Navya has written that her dream for 2047 is of an India where everyone has a dignified life, where farmers are prosperous and there is no corruption. Navya, your dream for the country is very commendable. The country is also moving rapidly in this direction. You talked about a corruption free India. Corruption hollows the country like a termite. Why wait for 2047 to get rid of it? All of us countrymen, today’s youth have to do this work together, as soon as possible and for this it is very important that we give priority to our duties. Where duty is felt, Duty is paramount, corruption cannot even think of entering there. Friends, in front of me is another postcard of Mohammed Ibrahim from Chennai. Ibrahim wants to see India as a major power in the field of defence in 2047. He wants that India should have its own research base on the Moon, and that India should start the work of settling the human population on Mars. Ibrahim also sees a big role for India in making the earth free from pollution. Ibrahim, nothing is impossible for a country that has youth like you. Friends, I have another letter in front of me sent by Bhavna, a class 10th student of Saraswati Vidya Mandir in Raisen, Madhya Pradesh. First of all, I will say to Bhavna that I really liked the way you have decorated your postcard with the Tricolor. Bhavna has written about revolutionary Shirish Kumar. Friends, I have also received Laurencio Pereira’s postcard from Goa. She is a student of class 12th. The subject of her letter is also – Unsung Heroes of Freedom. I am sharing with you its essence in Hindi. She has written that Bhikaji Cama was one of the bravest women involved in the Indian freedom struggle. She carried out many campaigns in the country and abroad to empower daughters; organized many exhibitions. Certainly Bhikaji Cama was one of the most courageous women of the freedom movement. In 1907, she hoisted the Tricolor in Germany. The person who supported her in designing this Tricolor was Shri Shyamji Krishna Varma. Shri Shyamji Krishna Varma ji died in 1930 in Geneva. His last wish was that after India’s independence, his ashes should be brought to India. Although his ashes should have been brought back to India on the very next day of independence in 1947, this did not happen. Maybe it was the wish of the Almighty to assign me this work… and I was fortune to fulfil this duty. In the year 2003, when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, his ashes were brought to India. A memorial has also been constructed in the memory of Shyamji Krishna Varma ji at his birth place, Mandvi in Kutch. Friends, the enthusiasm of India’s Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav is not limited to our country. I have also received 75 postcards from Croatia, a friendly country of India. Students of the School of Applied Arts and Design in Zagreb, Croatia have sent these 75 cards to the people of India and congratulated them on the Amrit Mahotsav. On behalf of all countrymen, I thank Croatia and her people. My dear countrymen, India has been the sacred land of education and knowledge. We have not confined education to bookish knowledge, but have seen it as a holistic experience of life. The great personalities of our country have also had a deep relationship with education. While Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya ji founded the Banaras Hindu University, Mahatma Gandhi played an important role in the establishment of Gujarat Vidyapeeth. There is a very lovely place in Anand, Gujarat – Vallabh Vidyanagar. On the insistence of Sardar Patel, two of his associates, Bhai Kaka and Bhikha Bhai, established education centres for the youth there. Similarly, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore established Shantiniketan in West Bengal. Maharaja Gaikwad was also one of the ardent supporters of education. He got many educational institutions built and inspired many personalities including Dr.Ambedkar and Shri Aurobindo for higher education. In the list of such great personalities, there is also the name of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji. Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji had handed over his house for the establishment of a technical school. He gave a lot of financial help for the construction of education centers in Aligarh and Mathura. Sometime back I also had the privilege of laying the foundation stone of a university in his name in Aligarh. I am happy that the same vibrant spirit of taking the light of education to the people continues in India even today. Do you know what is the most beautiful thing about this feeling? That is, this awareness about education is visible at every level in the society. The example of Taimmal ji living in Udumalpet block of Trippur district of Tamil Nadu is very inspiring. Taimmal ji does not have any land of her own. For years, her family is making a living by selling coconut water. The financial condition may not be good, but Taimmal ji had left no stone unturned to educate her son and daughter. Her children studied in Chinnaveerampatti Panchayat Union Middle School. One day in the meeting with the parents in the school, it was raised that the condition of the classrooms and school should be improved; the school infrastructure should be fixed. Taimmal ji was also in that meeting. She heard everything. In the same meeting, the discussion again came to a halt on the paucity of money for these works. After this, no one could have imagined what Taimmal did. Taimmal ji, who had accumulated some capital by selling coconut water, doanted one lakh rupees to the school. Indeed, it takes a big heart, a sense of service, to do this. Taimmal ji says that in the school that is there has classes till 8th standard. Now when the infrastructure of the school improves, classes till higher secondary education will be held. This is the same sentiment I was talking about regarding education in our country. I have also come to know about a similar donation by an alumnus of IIT BHU. Jai Chaudhary, alumnus of BHU, donated one million dollars i.e. about seven and a half crores to IIT BHU Foundation. Friends, in our country there are many people belonging to different fields, who are fulfilling their responsibility towards the society by helping others. I am very happy that such efforts are being seen continuously in the field of higher education especially in our different IITs. There is no dearth of such inspiring examples in Central Universities as well. To further enhance such efforts, from September last year, Vidyanjali Abhiyan has also been started in the country. Its objective is to improve the quality of education in schools across the country with the participation of various organizations, CSR and private sector. Vidyanjali is furthering the spirit of community participation and ownership. To be constantly connected with your school, college, to contribute something according to your ability, it is something whose fulfilment and joy can be felt only through experience. My dear countrymen, love for nature and compassion for every living being, this is our culture as well as innate nature. A glimpse of these Sanskaras of ours was seen recently when a tigress left the world in Pench Tiger Reserve of Madhya Pradesh. People used to call this tigress collared tigress. The Forest Department named it T-15. The death of this tigress made people so emotional as if someone of their own had left the world. People performed her last rites, bid her farewell with full respect and affection. You must have also seen these pictures on social media. This love of Indians for nature and living beings was greatly appreciated the world over. The collared tigress gave birth to 29 cubs in her lifetime and raised 25 of them to maturity. We also celebrated this life of T-15 and when she left the world, we also gave her a heartfelt farewell. This is the specialty of the people of India. We make a relationship of love with every conscious being. We also got to see a similar sight this time in the Republic Day parade as well. In this parade, the charger mount of the President’s Bodyguard, Virat took part in his last parade. Horse Virat came to Rashtrapati Bhavan in 2003 and used to lead the parade every time on Republic Day as Commandant Charger. Even when a foreign head of state was welcomed in Rashtrapati Bhavan, Virat used to play this role. This year, on Army Day, horse Virat was also given COAS Commendation Card by the Army Chief. In view of Virat’s immense services, after his retirement he was given farewell in an equally grand manner. My dear countrymen, when there is a sincere effort, work is done with a noble intention, results also follow. A great example of this has emerged from Assam. As soon as the name of Assam is taken, the thought of tea plantation and many national parks come to mind. Along with this, the picture of one horned rhinoceros i.e. one horn rhino also emerges in our mind. You all know that the one horned rhinoceros has always been a part of Assamese culture. This song of Bharat Ratna Bhupen Hazarika ji will resonate in every ear. Friends, the meaning of this song is very relevant. This song says, the lush green surroundings of Kaziranga, the abode of elephants and tigers, the Earth watches one horned rhinoceros and listens to the melodious chirping of birds. The images of the rhinoceros are also seen in the Moonga and Eri dresses woven on the world famous handlooms of Assam. The rhinoceros, which has such great glory in the culture of Assam, also had to face difficulties. In 2013, 37 and in 2014, 32 rhinos were killed by poachers. To tackle this challenge, a huge campaign against the poaching of rhinoceros was launched in the last seven years with the special efforts of the Assam government. On the 22nd of September last year, on the occasion of World Rhino Day, more than 2400 horns seized from smugglers were burnt. This was a stern message to the poachers. The result of such efforts is that now there is a steady decrease in the hunting of rhinos in Assam. Where 37 rhinos were killed in 2013, 2 killings in 2020 and only 1 in 2021 have come to the fore. I appreciate the resolve of the people of Assam to save the rhinoceros. Friends, the diverse colours and spiritual strength of Indian culture have always attracted people from all over the world. If I tell you that Indian culture is very popular in America, Canada, Dubai, Singapore, Western Europe and Japan, you will find this very common; you will not be surprised. But, if I say that Indian culture has a big attraction in Latin America and South America too, you will definitely think once. Whether it is a matter of promoting Khadi in Mexico or an attempt to popularize Indian traditions in Brazil, we have discussed these topics earlier in ‘Mann Ki Baat’. Today I will tell you about the Indian culture making its mark in Argentina. Our culture is very much liked in Argentina. In 2018, during my visit to Argentina, I participated in a yoga program – ‘Yoga for Peace’. There is an organization in Argentina – Hastinapur Foundation. You will be surprised to hear… whither Argentina… and Hastinapur Foundation there too! This foundation is involved in the propagation of Indian Vedic traditions in Argentina. It was founded 40 years ago by a lady, Professor Aida Albrecht. Professor Aida Albrecht is going to turn 90 today. How her association with India happened is also very interesting. When she was 18 years old, she was first introduced to the power of Indian culture. She also spent a lot of time in India. She studied about Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads in depth. Today the Hastinapur Foundation has more than 40,000 members and about 30 branches in Argentina and other Latin American countries. Hastinapur Foundation has also published more than 100 Vedic and philosophical texts in Spanish language. Her ashram is also very enchanting. Twelve temples have been built in the ashram, in which there are idols of many Gods and Goddesses. There is also a temple at the center of all this which has been built for Advaitwadi Dhyan. Friends, hundreds of such examples prove that our culture is a priceless heritage not only for us, but for the whole world. People all over the world want to know it, want to understand it, and want to live it. We should also try to make our cultural heritage a part of our life with full responsibility and try to take it to all the people. My dear countrymen, I now want to ask a question to you and especially to our youth. Now imagine how many push-ups you can do at once. What I am about to tell you will surely fill you with wonder? Thounaojam Niranjoy Singh, a 24-year-old youth in Manipur, has made a record of 109 push-ups in a minute. Breaking the record is nothing new for Niranjoy Singh, earlier also, he had held the record for most Knuckle push-ups with one hand in a minute. I am sure you will be inspired by Niranjoy Singh and make physical fitness a part of your life. Friends, today I want to share with you one such information about Ladakh which you will definitely be proud to know about. Ladakh will soon be blessed with an impressive Open Synthetic Track and Astro Turf Football Stadium. This stadium is being built at a height of more than 10,000 feet and its construction is going to be completed soon. This will be the largest open stadium in Ladakh where 30,000 spectators can sit together. This modern football stadium in Ladakh will also have a synthetic track with 8 lanes. Apart from this, there will also be a hostel facility with one thousand beds. You will also like to know that this stadium has also been certified by FIFA, the biggest organization of football. Whenever such a big sports infrastructure comes up, it brings great opportunities to the youth of the country. Alongwith such an arrangement, movement of people from all over the country takes place, tourism gets promoted and many employment opportunities are created. The stadium will also benefit many of our youth in Ladakh. My dear countrymen, this time also in ‘Mann Ki Baat’ we touched upon many topics. There is one more topic, which is on everyone’s mind at this time and that is of Corona. India is fighting with great success with the new wave of corona, it is also a matter of pride that till now about four and a half crore children have been administered the dose of Corona Vaccine. This means that about 60% of youth in the age group of 15 to 18 years have got their vaccines within three to four weeks. This will not only protect our youth but will also help them to continue with their studies. Another good thing is that within 20 days, one crore people have taken the precaution dose as well. This trust of our countrymen on the indigenous vaccine is our great strength. Now the cases of corona infection have also started decreasing – this is a very positive sign. People should be safe, the pace of economic activities of the country should be maintained – this is the wish of every countryman. And you already know, in ‘Mann Ki Baat’, there are certain things, I cannot stay without mentioning… like, we should not forget the’Swachhta Abhiyan’ ; we should accelerate the campaign against single use plastic; Vocal for Local mantra is our responsibility, we have to work wholeheartedly for the Atma Nirbhar Bharat campaign. With the efforts of all of us, the country will reach new heights of development. With this wish, I bid you farewell. Thank you very much",৩০.০১.২০২২ তাৰিখে ‘মন কী বাত’ৰ ৮৫ তম খণ্ডত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-remarks-at-opening-session-of-governors-conference/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today spoke at the opening session of the Conference of Governors at Rashtrapati Bhawan. He observed that all Governors can become catalytic agents for change in society, while upholding the sanctity of the Constitution. Mentioning the target of New India by 2022, the Prime Minister emphasized that this can be achieved only by making it a people’s movement. He encouraged Governors to interact at length with students and teachers in this regard. Giving the example of the recent Hackathon conducted by the Union Government, where students had proposed technology solutions to several problems, he said Universities should be centres of innovation. In the same vein, he said youth in every State must focus on one sport. He encouraged Governors to lead by example on the cause of Swachhata, or cleanliness. He said Mahatma Gandhi, whose 150th birth anniversary will be celebrated in 2019, is a source of inspiration, as we work towards an Open Defecation Free India. The Prime Minister said that festivals and anniversaries can be great motivators and energizers in the quest for change. He said that Governors can also motivate banks to give loans under Mudra to tribals, Dalits and women, especially in the period between Constitution Day on November 26th, and Ambedkar Mahaparinirvana Diwas on December 6th. The Prime Minister encouraged Lt. Governors of Union Territories to share the best practices being adopted by them in areas such as solar energy, DBT, and making Union Territories kerosene free. He said these achievements must be extended across all Union Territories speedily.",ৰাজ্যপালসকলৰ সন্মিলনৰ আৰম্ভণি অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ বক্তব্য https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-3rd-no-money-for-terror-ministerial-conference-in-new-delhi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A8/,"My colleague in the Union Cabinet, Shri Amit Shah, Distinguished Dignitaries, Delegates from different countries, Members of investigative agencies and security forces from across the world and my dear friends! I welcome you all to the 3rd Ministerial Conference on Counter-Terrorism Financing. Friends, It is significant that this conference is happening in India. Our country face the horrors of terror long before the world took serious note of it. Over the decades, terrorism in different names and forms tried to hurt India. We lost thousands of precious lives, but we have fought terrorism bravely. The delegates have a chance to interact with a country and people who have been firm in tackling terror. We consider that even a single attack is one too many. Even a single life lost is one too many. So, we will not rest till terrorism is uprooted. Friends, This is a very important gathering. It should not be seen as a gathering of ministers only. Because it deals with a subject that impacts entire humanity. The long-term impact of terrorism is particularly hard on the poor and on the local economy. Be it tourism or trade, nobody likes an area that is constantly under threat. And due to this, the livelihoods of people are taken away. It is all the more important that we strike at the root of terror financing. Friends, In today’s world, ideally there should be no need for anyone to remind the world of the dangers of terrorism. However, there are still certain mistaken notions about terrorism in some circles. The intensity of the reaction to different attacks cannot vary based on where it happens. All terrorist attacks deserve equal outrage and action. Further, sometimes, there are indirect arguments made in support of terrorism to block action against terrorists. There is no place for an ambiguous approach while dealing with a global threat. It is an attack on humanity, freedom and civilisation. It knows no boundaries. Only a uniform, unified and zero-tolerance approach can defeat terrorism. Friends, Fighting a terrorist and fighting terrorism are two different things. A terrorist may be neutralised with weapons. Immediate tactical responses to terrorists may be an operational matter. But tactical gains will soon be lost without a larger strategy aimed at hurting their finances. A terrorist is an individual. But terrorism is about a network of individuals and organisations. Uprooting terrorism needs a larger proactive response. If we want our citizens to be safe, then we cannot wait until terror comes to our homes. We must pursue terrorists, break their support networks and hit their finances. Friends, It is well known that terrorist organizations get money through several sources. One source is state support. Certain countries support terrorism as part of their foreign policy. They offer political, ideological and financial support to them. International organisations must not think that the absence of war means peace. Proxy wars are also dangerous and violent. There must be a cost imposed upon countries that support terrorism. Organisations and individuals that try to create sympathy for terrorists must also be isolated. There can be no ifs and buts entertained in such matters. The world needs to unite against all kinds of overt and covert backing of terror. Friends, One of the sources of terror funding is organised crime. Organised crime should not be seen in isolation. These gangs often have deep links with terrorist outfits. The money made in gun-running, drugs and smuggling is pumped into terrorism. These groups help with logistics and communication too. Action against organised crime is extremely important in the fight against terror. At times, even activities like money laundering and financial crimes have been known to help terror funding. Fighting it needs global collaboration. Friends, In such a complex environment, the United Nations Security Council, Financial Action Task Force, Financial Intelligence Units, and the Egmont Group, are boosting cooperation in prevention, detection and prosecution of illegal fund flows. This is helping the war against terror in many ways over the past two decades. This also helps in understanding terror funding risks. Friends, Now, the dynamics of terrorism are changing. Rapidly advancing technology is both a challenge and a solution. New kinds of technology are being used for terror financing and recruitment. Challenges from the dark net, private currencies and more are emerging. There is a need for a uniform understanding of new finance technologies. It is also important to involve the private sector in these efforts. From a uniform understanding, a unified system of checks, balances and regulations can emerge. But we must be careful about one thing. The answer is not to demonise technology. Instead, it is to use technology to track, trace and tackle terrorism. Friends, Today, cooperation is needed not only in the physical world but also in the virtual world too. The infrastructure used for cyber terrorism and online radicalisation is distributed. Some also offer weapons training from a remote location and online resources. Communications, travel, logistics there are many links of the chain in different countries. Each country can and must act against the part of the chain within the reach. Friends, Many different nations have their own legal principles, procedures and processes. Sovereign nations have a right to their own systems. However, we must also be careful not to allow extremists to misuse differences between systems. This can be prevented through deeper coordination and understanding between governments. Joint operations, intelligence coordination and extradition help the fight against terror. It is also important that we jointly address the problem of radicalisation and extremism. Anyone who supports radicalisation should have no place in any country. Friends, Over the last few months, many conferences have been held in India relating to different dimensions of security. India hosted the General Assembly of the Interpol in New Delhi. A special session of the United Nations Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee happened in Mumbai. At this ‘No Money For Terror’ Conference, India is helping build global momentum against terror funding. Our intention is to bring the world together in taking the war against terrorism to the next level. Friends, I wish all the participants success in the deliberations over the next few days. I am positive that you will help in attacking terror funding in all its dimensions. Thank you. Thank you very much.",নতুন দিল্লীত অনুষ্ঠিত ‘ন’ মানী ফৰ টেৰ’ৰ’ শীৰ্ষক সন্ত্ৰাসবাদৰ বিত্তীয় পৃষ্ঠপোষকতা প্ৰতিৰোধ সম্পৰ্কীয় তৃতীয় মন্ত্ৰী পৰ্যায়ৰ সন্মিলনত প্ৰদান কৰা প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-visits-jk-to-participate-in-celebrations-of-national-panchayati-raj-day/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D/,"Addresses all the Gram Sabhas across the country from Palli Panchayat in Samba district Inaugurates and lays the foundation stone of multiple development initiatives worth over Rs 20,000 crore Inaugurates Banihal Qazigund Road Tunnel which will help bring the regions of Jammu and Kashmir closer lays foundation stone of three road packages of Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway and Ratle&Kwar Hydroelectric projects Launches Amrit Sarovar – an initiative aimed at developing and rejuvenating 75 water bodies in each district of the country “Celebration of National Panchayati Raj Day in Jammu and Kashmir marks a big change” “Be it democracy or resolve for development, today Jammu and Kashmir is presenting a new example.

He visited Palli Panchayat in Samba district. The Prime Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of multiple development initiatives worth around Rs 20,000 crore. He also launched the Amrit Sarovar initiative. Lt Governor Jammu and Kashmir Shri Manoj Sinha, Union Ministers Shri Giriraj Singh, Dr Jitendra Singh and Shri Kapil Moreshwar Patil were among those present on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that today is a landmark day in the development journey of Jammu and Kashmir. He thanked the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their enthusiasm. The Prime Minister said, due to his long association with the state, he understands the issues involved and expressed happiness about the focus on connectivity in the projects inaugurated and for which foundation stone was laid today. “Projects worth 20 thousand crore rupees related to connectivity and electricity have been inaugurated and the foundation stone has been laid here.To give a new impetus to the development of Jammu and Kashmir, work is going on at a fast pace.These efforts will provide employment to a large number of youths of Jammu and Kashmir”, he said.Today many families have also got property cards of their houses in villages.These ownership cards will inspire new possibilities in the villages.100 Jan AushadhiKendras will become a medium to provide affordable medicines and surgical items to the poor and middle class families of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. The Prime Minister pointed out that all schemes of the centre government are being implemented in Jammu and Kashmir and people are being benefitted from them. People in the villages are the biggest beneficiaries of schemes for LPG, toilets, electricity, land rights and water connections. Before arriving at the dais, the Prime Minister met the delegations from UAE. The Prime Minister said that a new story of development is being written and many private investors are interested in Jammu and Kashmir. For 7 decades of independence, private investment of only Rs 17 thousand crore could be made in Jammu and Kashmir. But now it is reaching around Rs 38,000 crore. Tourism also is thriving once again, the Prime Minister noted. The Prime Minister underlined the changed system of working in the Jammu and Kashmir, by giving example of the 500 KW solar plant that is being established in three weeks whereas earlier even the movement of file from Delhi used to take 2-3 weeks. He said all houses of Palli Panchayat getting solar power is a perfect example of Gram Urja Swaraj and the changed way of working will take Jammu and Kashmir to new heights. The Prime gave assurance to the youth of Jammu. He said “friends, believe my words, youth of the valley mark my words, the difficulties faced by your parents and grandparents, you will not face those problems. This I will accomplish and I have come to assure you of that.” Shri Modi referred to India’s leadership on international environmental and climate change platforms and expressed pride in the strides that Palli Panchayat is making towards becoming first carbon neutral panchayat. “Palli Panchayat is moving towards becoming the first Carbon Neutral Panchayat in the country. Today, I have also got an opportunity to interact with the people’s representatives of the villages of the country, in the village of Palli. Many congratulations to Jammu and Kashmir for this big achievement and development works”, he said. The Prime Minister said that “celebration of National Panchayati Raj Dayin Jammu and Kashmir marks a big change.” Shri Modi expressed deep satisfaction and pride that democracy has made way to grass roots in Jammu and Kashmir. “Be it democracy or resolve for development, today Jammu and Kashmir is presenting a new example.In the last 2-3 years, new dimensions of development have been created in Jammu and Kashmir”, the Prime Minister stressed.For the first time, elections to the three-tier Panchayati Raj system- Gram Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti and DDC have been held in Jammu and Kashmir. Referring to the process of inclusion of Jammu and Kashmir in the development journey of the nation, the Prime Minister informed that more than 175 central laws have become applicable in Jammu and Kashmir. The biggest beneficiaries of this have been the women, poor and deprived section of the area. He also talked about removal of anomalies in the reservation clauses. “Valmiki Samajhas been freed from the fetters that were put in their feet for decades.Today sons and daughters of every community are able to fulfil their dreams.Those who did not get the benefit of reservation in Jammu and Kashmir for years, are also getting the benefit of reservation now”, he said. Referring to his vision of ‘Ek Bharat Shresht Bharat’, the Prime Minister explained that the vision focuses on connectivity and elimination of distances. “Distances, whether of hearts, languages, customs or of resources, their elimination is our very big priority today”, he added. The Prime Minister dwelled on the role of Panchayats in the development of the country and said “This ‘Amrit Kaal’ of Independence is going to be the golden period of India.This resolve is going to be realized by SabkaPrayas.In this, the role of the Gram Panchayat, the most grassroots unit of democracy and all of you colleagues is very important”, he said.It is the effort of the government, he stressed, that the role of Panchayat should deepen in planning and implementation of every project related to the development of the village. “With this, Panchayat will emerge as an important link in the achievement of national resolutions”, he added. The Prime Minister said that 75 sarovars will come up in every district by 15 August in 2023. He urged that these sarovars should be lined with trees named after the martyrs and freedom fighters. Shri Modi also elaborated upon the push for transparency and empowerment of Gram Panchayats. Measures like e-Gram Swaraj are linking processes from planning to payment. Panchayats will be audited online and a system of citizen charter for all the Gram Sabha is encouraging the Sabhas for taking up many roles. He also highlighted the role of women in these institutions and village governance especially water governance. Reiterating his push for natural farming the Prime Minister said that it is critical to free mother earth of chemicals as it is harming the land and groundwater. He said if our villages move towards natural farming that will benefit entire humanity. He asked to explore how natural farming can be promoted at the level of Gram Panchayats, for this collective efforts are needed. Similarly, Gram Panchayats will play a major role in combating malnutrition with the help of ‘SabkaPrayas’. “People on the ground have to be made aware about the initiative taken by the central government to save the country from malnutrition andanemia. Now the rice being given under the government schemes is being fortified”, he informed. Since the introduction of constitutional reforms with regards to J&K in August 2019, the government has been focussed on bringing about wide ranging reforms to substantially improve governance and enhance ease of living for the people of the region at an unprecedented pace. The projects inaugurated and whose foundation stone was laid will go a long way in facilitating provision of basic amenities, ensuring ease of mobility and development of infrastructure in the region. Prime Minister inaugurated the Banihal Qazigund Road Tunnel, built at a cost of over Rs 3100 crore. The 8.45 Km long tunnel would reduce the road distance between Banihal and Qazigund by 16 km, and reduce journey time by around one and a half hour. It is a twin tube tunnel – one for each direction of travel – with the twin tubes being interconnected by a cross passage every 500m, for maintenance and emergency evacuation. The tunnel would help establish an all-weather connection between Jammu and Kashmir, and bring the two regions closer. Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of three road packages of Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway, being built at a cost of over Rs. 7500 crore. They are for the construction of 4/6 lane access controlled Delhi-Katra-Amritsar Expressway from: Balsua on NH-44 to GurhaBaildaran, Hiranagar; GurhaBaildaran, Hiranagar to Jakh, Vijaypur; and Jakh, Vijaypur to Kunjwani, Jammu with spur connectivity to Jammu Airport. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of Ratle and Kwar Hydroelectric projects. The 850 MW Ratle Hydroelectric Project will be constructed on Chenab river in Kishtwar District at a cost of around Rs 5300 crore. The 540 MW Kwar Hydroelectric Project will also be built on Chenab river in Kishtwar District at a cost of over Rs. 4500 crore. Both the projects will help meet the power requirements of the region. In order to further expand the network of Jan AushadiKendras in J&K and to make good quality generic medicines at affordable prices available, 100 Kendras have been made functional and dedicated to the nation by the Prime Minister. These Kendras are located in the remote corners of the UT. He will also inaugurate a 500 KW solar power plant at Palli, which will make it the country’s first panchayat to become carbon neutral. The Prime Minister handed over SVAMITVA cards to beneficiaries. He also transferred award money to Panchayats which are winners of awards given across different categories on National Panchayati Raj Day for their achievements. The Prime Minister also visited the INTACH photo gallery which depicts the rural heritage of the region, and Nokia Smartpur, a rural entrepreneurship-based model designed to create ideal smart villages in India. With a view to ensure rejuvenation of water bodies, the Prime Minister also launched a new initiative named Amrit Sarovar. It is aimed at developing and rejuvenating 75 water bodies in each district of the country as a part of celebration of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় পঞ্চায়তী ৰাজ দিৱস উদযাপনত অংশগ্ৰহণ কৰিবলৈ জম্মু-কাশ্মীৰ ভ্ৰমণ কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-sitiveni-rabuka-on-his-election-as-the-prime-minister-of-fiji/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AB%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Sitiveni Rabuka on his election as the Prime Minister of Fiji.

Today the entire country is celebrating the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda with reverence and respect. I bow to the great son of the country, the great revolutionary Bhagwan Birsa Munda. November 15 is the day of glorification of India’s tribal tradition. I consider it a privilege of my government that it got the opportunity to declare 15th November as ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’. Friends, Bhagwan Birsa Munda was not just the hero of our political freedom, but he was also the carrier of our spiritual and cultural energy. Today, the country is moving towards fulfilling the dreams of crores of tribal heroes, including Bhagwan Birsa Munda, with the energy of the ‘Panch Pranas’ (five pledges) of freedom. Through ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’, pride in the country’s tribal heritage and the resolution for the development of tribal society is a part of this energy. Friends, The tribal society of India had demonstrated its prowess to the British and foreign rulers. We are proud of the ‘Damin Sangram’ fought under the leadership of Tilka Manjhi in Santhal. We are proud of the ‘Larka Movement’ led by Budhu Bhagat. We are proud of ‘Sidhu-Kanhu Kranti’. We are proud of ‘Tana Bhagat Movement’. We are proud of the Begada Bhil movement, the Naikda movement, Sant Joria Parmeshwar and Roop Singh Nayak. We are proud of the tribal heroes who forced the British to bite the dust in Limbdi, Dahod. We are proud of Govind Guru ji for upholding the prestige of Mangarh. We are proud of the Rampa movement led by Alluri Sitarama Raju. Many such movements made this land of India sanctified and sacrifices of tribal heroes saved Mother India. It is my good fortune that I got the opportunity to dedicate the Birsa Munda Museum in Ranchi to the nation on this day last year. Today India is building many such museums dedicated to tribal freedom fighters in different regions of the country. Friends, Our tribal brothers and sisters have been at the forefront of every effort and plan of the country in the last eight years. The schemes of the Central Government have made life easier for crores of tribal families of the country from Jan Dhan to Gobar Dhan, from Van Dhan Vikas Kendra to Van Dhan Self Help Group, from Swachh Bharat Mission to Jal Jeevan Mission, from the PM Awas Yojana to Ujjwala gas connection, from Matru Vandana Yojana to National Campaign for Nutrition, from rural road scheme to mobile connectivity, from Eklavya schools to tribal universities, from changing the decades-old laws related to bamboo to MSP on nearly 90 forest produce, from the prevention of sickle cell anemia to the Tribal Research Institute, from the free vaccines of Corona to Mission Indradhanush which protects against many deadly diseases, etc. They have got the benefit of the development happening across the country. Friends, There is valour in tribal society and there is cohabitation and inclusion with nature also. India has to shape its future by learning from this grand heritage. I am sure the ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’ will become a momentous medium for us in this direction. With this resolution, I once again bow down at the feet of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and crores of tribal heroes.

Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, State Ministers, People’s representatives were among those present on the occasion Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister recalled the glorious traditon of hard-work, valor and cultural richness of Bundelkhand region. He said “the land that produced countless warriors, where the devotion for India flows in blood, the prowess and hard work of local sons and daughters have always brightened the name of the country.” Talking about the difference that will be brought about by the new expressway, the Prime Minister said “the distance from Chitrakoot to Delhi has been reduced by 3-4 hours by the Bundelkhand Expressway, but its benefit is much more than that. This expressway will not only give speed to vehicles here, but it will accelerate the industrial progress of entire Bundelkhand.” The Prime Minister emphasized that gone are the days when such great infrastructure and facilities were limited to large cities and selected areas of the countries. now , under the spirit of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, even the remote and neglected areas are witnessing unprecedented connectivity. He continued that because of the expressway, the region will see many opportunities of development, employment and self employment. He said that connectivity projects in Uttar Pradesh are connecting many areas which have been ignored in the past. For example, Bundelkhand Expressway passes through seven districts, viz. Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Auraiya and Etawah. Similarly, other Expressways are connecting every nook and corner of the state, leading to a situation where, “every corner of Uttar Pradesh is ready to move forward with new dreams and new resolutions”. The Double-Engine Government is working in that direction with renewed viogour, he said. Regarding improving air connectivity in the state, the Prime Minister said that new airports terminals came up in Prayagraj. Kushinagar got new airport and work is going on in Jewar, NOIDA for a new airport and many more cities are being connected with air travel facilities. This will give a push to tourism and other development opportunities, he said. The Prime Minister asked the Chief Minister to develop a tourism circuit around the many forts in the region. He also asked the Chief Minister to organise fort related events and competitions. The Prime Minister remarked that in the UP in which the Saryu canal project took 40 years to complete, in the UP where the Gorakhpur Fertilizer Plant was closed for 30 years, in the UP where the Arjun Dam project took 12 years to complete, in the UP where Amethi rifle factory was lying with only one name board, in the UP where Rae Bareli Rail Coach Factory was running only by painting the coaches, in that UP, now the infrastructure work is being done so seriously that it has even outperformed good states. UP’s identity is changing across the country. Shri Modi remarked about the change of pace and said that doubling of railway line increased to 200 Km from 50 km per year. Similarly number of Common Service Centers in Uttar Pradesh increased from 11,000 in 2014 to 1 lakh 30 thousand Common Service Centers, today. From 12 Medical Colleges, UP, today has 35 medical colleges and work on 14 more is underway, he added. The Prime Minister noted that the stream of development on which the country is moving today has two aspects at its core. One is intention and the other is decorum (Irada and Maryada). We are not only creating new facilities for the present of the country but are also building the future of the country. Projects completed in Uttar Pradesh fully honour the ‘maryada’, limit of deadlines, he said. Projects like upgradion of facilities and renovation at Baba Vishwanath Dham, Gorakhpur AIIMS, Delhi-Meerut Expressway and Bundelkhand Expressway are the examples of this as it was the present government which both laid the foundation and dedicated these projects to the nation. By delivering the projects before time, we are respecting people’s mandate and their confidence, he said. He exhorted the people to organize many events in the run up to upcoming Independence Day. We should remember our freedom fighters and create an atmosphere of new resolution in next one month, he said. The Prime Minister said the larger thinking behind taking a decision and making a policy should be for further accelerating the development of the country. Everything that harms the country, affects the development of the country, have to be kept away. He said that ‘Amrit Kaal’ is a rare opportunity and we should not miss this opportunity to ensure the development of the country. The Prime Minister brought attention to the issue of culture of seeking votes by distributing freebies in our country. He warned that this freebies culture is very dangerous for the development of the country. People of the country have to be very careful with this freebies culture (‘Rewri’ Culture). Those with freebies culture will never build new expressways, new airports or defense corridors for you. The people of freebies culture feel that they can buy the votes by distributing freebies to the common man. He gave a call to defeat this thinking collectively and remove freebies culture from the politics of the country. He said that now the government is working on solid projects of providing amenities like pucca houses, railway lines, roads and infrastructure, irrigation, electricity projects away from this ‘rewri’ culture. “Double-engine governments are not adopting the short-cut of freebies and delivering through hard work”, he said. Speaking about the balanced development, the Prime Minister said that as development reaches ignored and small cities, it leads to realization of social justice. As modern infrastructure reaches much ignored Easter India and Bundelkhand, this amounts to social justice. Backward districts that were left to fend for themselves are now witnessing development, this too is social justice. Toilets for the poor, connecting villages with roads and tap water too is social justice, he said. The Prime Minister informed that the government is working continuously to ameliorate another challenge of Bundelkhand. He elaborated that the Government is working on Jal Jeevan Mission to provide piped water to every household. The Prime Minister listed Ratauli Dam, Bhavani Dam, Majhgaon-Chilli sprinkler irrigation project as effort to take water of Bundelkhand rivers to maximum numboer of the local people. Ken-Betwa link project will change the lives of people of the region, he said. The Prime Minister reiterated his request for contribution by the people of Bundelkhand in the campaign for 75 Amrit Sarovers in every district. Referring to the role of Make In India Campaign in strengthening the small and cottage industry the Prime Minister underlined the success of the toy industry. He said due to the efforts of the government, artisans, industry and the citizens there has been a drastic cut in the import of toys. This will benefit poor, deprived, backward, tribals, dalits and women, he pointed out. The Prime MInister also highlighted the contribution of Bundelkhand in the field of sports. He said that the highest sporting honour is named after the local son Major Dhyanchand. He also mentioned Shaili Singh, International athlet from the region who brought laurels in under-20 world athletics championship. Bundelkhand Expressway The government has been committed to enhancing connectivity across the country, a key feature of which has been the work towards improvement in road infrastructure. A significant endeavour towards this was the laying of foundation stone for the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway by the Prime Minister on 29 February, 2020. The work on the Expressway has been completed within 28 months, an indication of the work culture of New India where projects are delivered on time. The 296 Km, four-lane expressway has been constructed at a cost of around Rs 14,850 crores, under the aegis of Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), and can later be expanded up to six lanes as well. It extends from NH-35 at Gonda village near Bharatkoop in Chitrakoot district to near Kudrail village in Etawah district, where it merges with the Agra-Lucknow expressway. It passes through seven districts, viz. Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Auraiya and Etawah. Along with improving connectivity in the region, the Bundelkhand Expressway will also give a major boost to economic development, resulting in the creation of thousands of jobs for the local people. Work on the creation of industrial corridor in Banda and Jalaun districts, next to the Expressway, has already been started.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে উত্তৰ প্ৰদেশ পৰিদৰ্শন কৰে আৰু বুণ্ডেলখণ্ড এক্সপ্ৰেছৱে উদ্বোধন কৰে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-relaxation-in-educational-qualification-for-the-post-of-constable-to-recruit-native-tribal-youth-as-constables-in-crpf-through-recruitment-rally-from-the-interior-areas-of-bijapur-da/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%9C%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4/,"The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved a proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs to relax requisite minimum educational qualification from 10th class pass to 8th Class for the recruitment of 400 candidates as Constable (General Duty) in CRPF from 03 districts of South Chattisgarh namely Bijapur, Dantewada and Sukma. Apart from issuing advertisement in local newspapers and adopting all means for wider publicity of this rally in these interior areas of these three districts, CRPF would subsequently impart formal education during the probation period to these newly recruited trainees. 400 tribal youths from interior areas of three districts namely Bijapur, Dantewada and Sukma of Chhattisgarh State will get employment opportunities. Appropriate relaxation in physical standards for recruitment will also be given by Ministry of Home Affairs. CRPF is one of Central Armed Police Forces, basically meant for duties like maintenance of law and order, tackling Counter Insurgency and maintaining Internal Security. In the instant case, CRPF proposes to recruit 400 native tribal youths as Constables (General Duty), from the relatively backward areas of Chhattisgarh. They will be confirmed in service only after acquiring the prescribed minimum educational qualification of standard 10th pass, thus formal education will be given to these recruits and CRPF would extend all possible support like providing study material, books and coaching assistance during their probation period The probation period may be extended suitably, if required, to facilitate new recruits to acquire the prescribed education qualification. In order to facilitate them to take the 10th standard exam, these recruits will be registered with National Institute of Open Schools recognized by Central/State Govts. CRPF during 2016-2017 had raised one Bastariya Battalion by recruiting Scheduled Tribe candidates from four districts namely, Bijapur, Dantewada, Narayanpur and Sukma of Chhattisgarh. However, it could not yield optimum results as native youths from interior areas could not compete in the recruitment process due to non- fulfilling of requisite educational qualification i.e. 10th pass.","ছত্তিশগড়ত বিজাপুৰ, দান্তেৱাড়া আৰু সুকমা জিলাৰ প্রত্যন্ত ঠাইৰ পৰা কেন্দ্রীয় সংৰক্ষিত পুলিচ বাহিনীত (চিআৰপিএফ) কনষ্টেবল পদত স্থানীয় আদিবাসী যুৱকৰ নিয়োগৰ ক্ষেত্রত শিক্ষাগত যোগ্যতাত ৰেহাই দিয়াৰ প্রস্তাৱলৈ মন্ত্রীসভাৰ সঁহাৰ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-demise-of-sanskrit-grammarian-prof-bhagirath-prasad-tripathi-known-as-vagish-shastri/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%83/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the demise of Sanskrit Grammarian, Prof Bhagirath Prasad Tripathi known as Vagish Shastri.

Today is a day of irreparable loss and unbearable pain for me. Mr. Shinzo Abe, my close friend and former Prime Minister of Japan, is no longer with us. Mr. Abe was not only my friend, but he was an equally reliable friend of India. The India-Japan political relations not only reached a new height during his tenure, we also took forward the relations of the shared heritage of both the countries. Mr. Shinzo Abe will remain in the hearts of India for years to come because of the pace of India’s development today and the development work being carried out here with the help of Japan. I once again pay my deepest condolences to my friend. Friends, Today’s event is dedicated to my close friend Arun Jaitley ji. When I recollect the days gone by, I recall many of his conversations and incidents related to him and I can also see many of his old friends here. We were deeply impressed with his oratory and his one-liners would reverberate in the air for a long time. His personality was full of diversity and his nature was very friendly. All the people who are in front of us come from different walks of life but all of them were friends of Arun. This was the characteristic of Arun’s friendly nature that everyone remembers this quality of his personality even today and misses him. I pay my humble tributes to Arun Jaitley ji. Friends, The topic of this lecture in the memory of Arun ji is ‘Growth through Inclusivity, Inclusivity through Growth’ which is the basic mantra of the development policy of the government. I am especially grateful to Tharman (Shanmugaratnam) ji for accepting our invitation. I have listened to him many times and I also keep following his works. Not only in India, but when he goes to other countries of the world, he does a lot of research and there is a local touch in his academic thinking. We have experienced his philosophy today also the way he described the global situation and connected with the children of our country. I am very grateful to him that he took time off from his schedule for this event. Friends, If I have to describe the topic on which we have started the Arun Jaitley lecture today in a simple language, then it is ‘Sabka Saath-Sabka Vikas’. But at the same time, the theme of this lecture also captures the challenges and dilemmas faced by today’s policy makers. I want to ask a question to all of you. Is growth really possible without inclusion? You ask this to yourself. Can we even think of inclusion without growth? I have had the opportunity to work for more than 20 years as the head of the government and the gist of my experiences is that – without inclusion, real growth is not possible. And the goal of inclusion cannot be achieved without growth. Therefore, we have adopted the path of growth through inclusivity by trying to include everybody. The speed and scale with which India has worked for inclusion in the last eight years, you will never find such an example in the whole world. India has given free gas connections to more than nine crore women in the last eight years. This number is more than the combined population of South Africa, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. Look at the scale! India has made more than 10 crore toilets for the poor in the last eight years. Tharman ji has described this achievement very passionately. This number is more than twice the total population of South Korea. India has opened more than 45 crore Jan Dhan bank accounts in the last eight years. This number is also almost equal to the combined population of Japan, Germany, Britain, Italy and Mexico. India has given 3 crore pucca houses to the poor in the last eight years. I remember once I mentioned these figures to Singapore’s minister S. Iswaran and he told me that it is akin to building a new Singapore every month. I would like to give you another example of ‘Growth through Inclusivity, Inclusivity through Growth’. We started the Ayushman Bharat scheme in India a few years back which was mentioned by Tharman ji. He also cited the health sector as one of the major sectors in the near future. Under this scheme, more than 50 crore poor have been ensured of free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh in the best hospitals anywhere in India. Free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh to 50 crore people! More than 3.5 crore people of the country have got their free treatment under Ayushman Bharat in the last four years. We focused on inclusion in this scheme. The poorest of the poor in the last row of society should also get the best health facilities. With the passage of time, we have seen that the aspect of inclusion also led to growth. Those who were previously excluded joined the mainstream of development. As a result, the demand increased and opportunities for growth also expanded simultaneously. When one third of India’s population, which was excluded from better healthcare facilities, got access to treatment, its direct effect was that the healthcare capacity had to be strengthened accordingly. Let me tell you how the Ayushman Bharat Yojana has transformed the entire healthcare sector. On an average, about 50 medical colleges used to be built in 10 years in the country before 2014. In the last seven-eight years, about 209 new medical colleges have been built in India, which is more than four times. Now you can imagine the difference between 50 and 209! And if I account for the next 10 years, this figure is going to touch 400. There has been an increase of 75 percent in undergraduate medical seats in India in the last seven-eight years. Now the number of annual total medical seats has almost doubled in India. In other words, the country is now getting more doctors and modern medical infrastructure is being built rapidly. We can absolutely see the impact of a scheme brought in for inclusiveness in terms of growth. We can certify this figure. And I can count dozens of such schemes. India’s Digital India campaign, as mentioned by Tharman ji, has brought the Internet within the reach of the poorest of the poor in the villages with the setting up of about five lakh Common Service Centers. India’s BHIM-UPI has connected crores of poor with the facility of digital payment. India’s SVANidhi scheme has given an opportunity to the street vendors in our metropolitan municipalities with whom we have a daily relationship to join the banking system. Earlier, a street vendor who would be selling his goods to a bank manager had no access to the banking system, but we have made it possible. Similarly, India has done a great job in another field. The economists of the world are writing a lot on it these days and major agencies are also rating it. The Aspirational District Program is another initiative of India which is uplifting crores of people living in more than 100 districts of the country. The vision of this aspirational district is to address the aspirations of those who have been left behind in comparison to other districts of India. The endeavor is to bring them to the top position of that state and then gradually bring them to the top at the national level. Friends, It has had such a huge positive impact, and these 100 districts are being included in the world of development. India’s National Education Policy is a huge paradigm shift and Tharman ji also emphasized a lot on it. The one who does not know English and is excluded will now also get a chance to progress further by studying in his mother tongue. India’s UDAN scheme has revived many airstrips in the country and built new airports even in distant Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The UDAN scheme has conceived air travel in a fixed amount. India’s UDAN scheme has connected different corners of the country by air and has also given the poor the courage to fly in airplanes. I used to say that even the one who wears Hawai chappals will be able to fly in an airplane. In a way, both inclusion and growth are happening simultaneously. Today the aviation sector is growing so much in India that more than 1,000 new aircraft have been ordered. The purchase of more than 1,000 new aircraft in this country is the result of our approach towards passenger inclusion. Jal Jeevan Mission is connecting every house in the country with piped water supply, which Tharman ji talked about, and I worked very prominently regarding this in Gujarat. Water is not only available from taps, but it also saves time and resolves people’s problems. Water plays an important role in the health of people. Keeping these things in mind, this mission is playing an important role in social life. Pure drinking water is also an important issue of nutrition for children and our ‘Nal Se Jal’ (water from tap) Abhiyan is a part of a bigger campaign to address that issue as well. In just three years, this mission has connected more than six crore households with water connections. Roughly, there are 25 to 27 crore households in India, out of which water has been supplied to six crore households. This inclusiveness today is making the life of the common man of the country easier and encouraging him to move forward. And how important it is in the development of any country, the people of the world of economics who are sitting here know very well. I will give you another example. You also know and I have seen that it is discussed frequently in the UN also. Right to property is an important SDG issue as part of its development goals. Property rights in many countries have remained a major issue in the world for decades. And when it comes to property rights, the ignorant are the most vulnerable. They do not have any documents. They have to face many problems. But you will be happy to know that the speed with which India has worked in this direction is unprecedented. And I believe that the academicians and economists of the world would study the Svamitva Yojana and share with the world how the mapping of houses and buildings in rural areas of the country is going on a large scale under this scheme. Until now, we have completed this work with the help of drones in 1.5 lakh villages of India. Survey is done by drones and the entire village is present during the entire process. And this survey has been completed with drones in more than 1.5 lakh villages. The mapping of 37,000 square kilometer land has been done and property cards have been made for more than 80 lakh people with the consent of the owners. It is a long process involving discussions with the property owner and the people of his neighborhood. It means that it has become easier for the people of the villages to get bank loans and their land is now free from legal disputes. Friends, Today’s India is preparing a roadmap for the next 25 years through reforms by conviction instead of reforms by compulsion. With the goal of where the country will be when it celebrates 100 years of its independence, today we are moving ahead by preparing a roadmap. Decades ago, the country saw that when a reform is carried out under compulsion, there is little hope of it being institutionalized. As soon as the compulsion ends, the reform is also forgotten. The more important the reforms are, equally important is the environment and the motivation. Earlier, major reforms took place in India only when the earlier governments were left with no other option. We do not consider reforms as a necessary evil but as a win-win choice, in which there is national as well as public interest. Therefore, whatever reforms we have carried out in the last eight years has paved the way for new reforms. Wherever Arun ji is today, he will be satisfied that the country is getting the benefits of the mission in which he was a participant. Discussions on GST or IBC continued for years and today their success is in front of us. Reforms such as decriminalizing the Companies Act, making corporate taxes competitive, opening up space, coal mining and atomic sectors are the reality of 21st century India today. Friends, Our policies are based on the pulse of the people. We listen to more and more people and understand their needs and aspirations. That’s why we did not let our policies come under the pressure of populist impulses. India has witnessed during the Covid period and has also demonstrated to the world the difference between taking decisions according to the people’s pulses and succumbing to populism. What the important economists of the world were saying during the pandemic? During the pandemic, there was populist compulsion on the world for bail-out packages for demand-driven economy. We were also under pressure and were criticized for not doing anything. What all was not said about us? It was also said that people want this, experts want this and great scholars want this. But India did not succumb to the pressure and took a different approach calmly with prudence. We provided security to the poor with a people-first approach, focused on women, farmers and MSMEs. We were able to do something different from the world because we were aware of the people’s pulse i.e. what the people want and what is their concern? Therefore, we can clearly see the difference between the recovery of India and the rest of the world. Friends, I often talk about Minimum Government and Maximum Governance. Our government has abolished 1,500 such laws, which were unnecessarily interfering in the lives of the people. I remember when the Bharatiya Janata Party made me the Prime Ministerial candidate in 2013 and elections were to be held in 2014 that people from a business association called me for a program in Delhi. The mood was very hostile and they were asking me many questions, whether I will make particular laws or not. I was also under pressure as I was the (Prime Ministerial) candidate in the run up to the polls. I told them that you want laws, I can’t guarantee new laws, but I promise you that I will abolish one law every day. Friends, I abolished 1,500 laws in the first five years which had become a burden on the general public. Friends, You will be happy to know that our government has abolished more than 30,000 compliances, which were hindering the ease of doing business and ease of living. Eliminating 30,000 compliances means emergence of an era of unprecedented trust among the people. I also said during my address from the Red Fort that I want the government to go out of people’s lives as much as possible. The influence of the government in the lives of the people should be minimal, but those who need government should not feel its absence. We have tried to follow these two principles. Today it gives me satisfaction to inform you that the approach of Minimum Government is also leading to maximum outputs and outcomes. We are expanding our capacity very fast and the results are in front of you. Take the example of Covid vaccines. Private players of our country have done a very remarkable job, but the government was behind them in full force as a partner in progress. From virus isolation to speedy trial, from funding to rapid roll out of vaccines, the companies that were manufacturing vaccines got full support from the government. Our space ecosystem is another example. Today India is one of the most reliable and state-of-the-art space service providers in the whole world. Our private sector ecosystem is doing a great job in this area too. But behind them also is the full strength of the government in the form of a partner in progress, which is helping them by providing every facility and information. When we cite the example of the digital payments ecosystem of India, we have FinTech as well as many big players associated with digital payments. Here too, the JAM Trinity, RuPay, UPI and supportive policies of the government have a strong base behind them. I have only shared a few examples with you. But I consider these subjects of research for the world and emphasize the academic world to go deeper into it. I invite economists from all over the world to look at its nuances. How are we progressing in spite of being a huge country with many diverse needs? In a way, now the issue of extreme models dominated only by the private sector or government is out of date. Now is the time that the government should encourage the private sector as a partner in progress and we are moving forward in this direction. Friends, It is this spirit of taking everyone along, trusting both the public and private sectors of the country, due to which India is showing amazing enthusiasm for growth today. Today our exports are making new records. The service sector is also moving towards rapid growth. The impact of PLI schemes is beginning to be visible on the manufacturing sector. The entire electronic manufacturing sector, including mobile phones, has grown manifold. You will be surprised to know that when I held a summit on toys during the Corona period, many people were wondering that the PM sometimes talks about brooms, cleanliness and toilets and now he is talking about toys. My words did not go down well with many as they were confined to the grandiose issues. I concentrated on toys and toy manufacturers, technology, innovation and the financial sector. Two years have not been completed since then and my countrymen will be proud that the import of toys has decreased very much. Otherwise, we used to have foreign-make toys at our homes. Indian toys are being exported more than what they used to be imported earlier. That is, there is a huge untapped potential. You talked of tourism. I completely agree with you. The potential of India’s tourism is so immense but we were stuck somewhere. We lost the mentality to present India in its complete form before the world. I always urge my foreign guests to visit some places in India. This year we held programs on Yoga at 75 iconic places so that people get to know about our tourist destinations. You rightly said that the potential of tourism is so much in India that it can become a major attraction for the world. Friends, Our digital economy is also growing rapidly. Record investments are being made in physical and digital infrastructure. That is, every sector related to our growth engine is running at full capacity today. Friends, The ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence is bringing countless new opportunities for India. Our determination is firm and our intention is unwavering. I am sure we will fulfill our resolutions and we will achieve the height that India deserves in the 21st century. And as Tharman ji was referring to some challenges, I agree that there are challenges but if there are challenges then there are 130 crore solutions too. This is my belief and with it we have taken the resolve to move forward by challenging the challenges. Therefore, we have chosen the path of inclusion and we intend to drive growth through the same path. Remembering Arun ji once again, I end my speech. Special thanks to Tharman ji! I express my heartfelt thanks to all of you too. Thanks!",প্ৰথম ‘অৰুণ জেটলী স্মাৰক বক্তৃতা’ অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/in-a-transformative-reform-cabinet-clears-agnipath-scheme-for-recruitment-of-youth-in-the-armed-forces/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4/,"Agniveers to be enrolled under respective Service Acts for four years Attractive monthly package with Risk & Hardship allowances as applicable in the three Services One time ‘Seva Nidhi’ package to be paid to Agniveers upon completion of engagement period of four years 46,000 Agniveers to be recruited this year Recruitment rallies will commence in 90 days Armed Forces to have a younger, fitter, diverse profile for facing future challenges The Union Cabinet today approved an attractive recruitment scheme for Indian youth to serve in the Armed Forces. The scheme is called AGNIPATH and the youth selected under this scheme will be known as Agniveers. AGNIPATH allows patriotic and motivated youth to serve in the Armed Forces for a period of four years. The AGNIPATH Scheme has been designed to enable a youthful profile of the Armed Forces. It will provide an opportunity to the youth who may be keen to don the uniform by attracting young talent from the society who are more in tune with contemporary technological trends and plough back skilled, disciplined and motivated manpower into the society. As for the Armed Forces, it will enhance the youthful profile of the Armed Forces and provide a fresh lease of ‘Josh’ and ‘Jazba’ whilst at the same time bring about a transformational shift towards a more tech savvy Armed Forces – which is indeed the need of the hour. It is envisaged that average age profile of Indian Armed forces would come down by about 4-5 years by implementation of this scheme. The national stands to immensely benefit by infusion of highly inspired youth with deeper understanding of self-discipline, diligence and focus who would be adequately skilled and will be able to contribute in other sectors. The dividends of a short military service to the nation, society and the youth of the nation are immense. This includes inculcation of patriotism, team work, enhancement of physical fitness, ingrained loyalty for the country and availability of trained personnel to boost national security in times of external threats, internal threats and natural disasters. This is a major defence policy reform introduced by the Government to usher in a new era in the Human Resource policy of the three Services. The policy, which comes into immediate effect, will hereafter govern the enrolment for the three services. Benefits to the Agniveers Agniveers will be given an attractive customised monthly package along with Risk and Hardship allowances as applicable in the three services. On completion of the engagement period of four years, Agniveers will be paid one time ‘Seva Nidhi’ package which shall comprise their contribution including accrued interest thereon and matching contribution from the Government equal to the accumulated amount of their contribution including interest as indicated below: Year Customised Package (Monthly) In Hand (70%) Contribution to Agniveer Corpus Fund (30%) Contribution to corpus fund by GoI All figures in Rs (Monthly Contribution) 1st Year 30000 21000 9000 9000 2nd Year 33000 23100 9900 9900 3rd Year 36500 25580 10950 10950 4th Year 40000 28000 12000 12000 Total contribution in Agniveer Corpus Fund after four years Rs 5.02 Lakh Rs 5.02 Lakh Exit After 4 Year Rs 11.71 Lakh as Seva Nidhi Package (Including, interest accumulated on the above amount as per the applicable interest rates would also be paid) The ‘Seva Nidhi’ will be exempt from Income Tax. There shall be no entitlement to gratuity and pensionary benefits. Agniveers will be provided non-contributory Life Insurance Cover of Rs 48 lakhs for the duration of their engagement period in the Indian Armed Forces. During this period of service to the nation, the Agniveers will be imparted with various military skills and experience, discipline, physical fitness, leadership qualities, courage and patriotism. Post this stint of four years, the Agniveers will be infused into the civil society where they can contribute immensely towards the nation building process. The skills gained by each Agniveer will be recognised in a certificate to form part of his unique resume. Agniveers, on completion of the four year tenure in the prime of their youth, will be mature and self-disciplined with the realization to become better version of himself/herself both professionally as also personally. The avenues and opportunities that will open up for their progress in the civil world after Agniveer tenure would certainly be a big plus towards nation building. Moreover, the Seva Nidhi of approximately Rs 11.71 lakhs would aid the Agniveer to pursue his/her future dreams without the financial pressure, which is normally the case for young people from the financially deprived strata of society. The individuals, selected for enrolment in the Armed Forces as regular cadre, would be required to serve for a further engagement period of minimum 15 years and would be governed by the existing terms and conditions of service of Junior Commissioned Officers/Other Ranks in Indian Army and their equivalent in Indian Navy and Indian Air Force and that of Non Combatant enrolled in the Indian Air Force, as amended from time to time. The scheme will lead to much more youthful and technically adept war fighting force by ensuring a fine balance between youthful and experienced personnel in the Armed Forces. Advantages • A transformative reform of recruitment policy of the Armed Forces. • A unique opportunity to the youth to serve the country and contribute to Nation Building. • Armed Forces profile to be youthful and dynamic. • Attractive financial package for the Agniveers. • Opportunity for Agniveers to train in the best institutions and enhance their skills & qualifications. • Availability of well disciplined and skilled youth with military ethos in civil society. • Adequate re-employment opportunities for those returning to society and who could emerge as role models for the youth. Terms & Conditions Under the AGNIPATH scheme, the Agniveers will be enrolled in the Forces under respective Service Acts for a period of four years. They would form a distinct rank in the Armed Forces, different from any other existing ranks. Upon the completion of four years of service, based on organisational requirement and policies promulgated by the Armed Forces from time-to-time, Agniveers will be offered an opportunity to apply for permanent enrolment in the Armed Forces. These applications will be considered in a centralised manner based on objective criteria including performance during their four-year engagement period and up to 25% of each specific batch of Agniveers will be enrolled in regular cadre of the Armed Forces. Detailed guidelines will be issued separately. Enrolment will be undertaken through an online centralised system for all three services with specialised rallies and campus interviews from recognised technical institutes such as Industrial Training Institutes and National Skills Qualifications Framework, among others. Enrolment will be based on ‘All India All Class’ basis and the eligible age will be in range from 17.5 to 21 years. Agniveers will meet the medical eligibility conditions laid down for enrolment in the armed forces as applicable to respective categories/trades. The educational qualification for Agniveers will remain as in vogue for enrollment in various categories. {For example: For entry into General Duty (GD) soldier, the educational qualification is Class 10}.","এক পৰিৱৰ্তনশীল সংস্কাৰত, কেবিনেটে সশস্ত্ৰ বাহিনীত যুৱ নিযুক্তিৰ বাবে ‘অগ্নিপথ’ আঁচনি মুকলি কৰে" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-loss-of-lives-of-youngsters-by-drowning-in-tamil-nadu/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A1%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%98%E0%A6%9F/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the loss of lives of youngsters by drowning in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.

Due to the heavy dependence on imports for edible oils, it is important to make efforts for increasing the domestic production of edible oils in which increasing area and productivity of oil palm plays an important part. A financial outlay of Rs.11,040 crore has been made for the scheme, out of which Rs.8,844 crore is the Government of India share and Rs.2,196 crore is State share and this includes the viability gap funding also. Under this scheme, it is proposed to cover an additional area of 6.5 lakh hectare (ha.) for oil palm till the year 2025-26 and thereby reaching the target of 10 lakh hectares ultimately. The production of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is expected to go upto 11.20 lakh tonnes by 2025-26 and upto 28 lakh tonnes by 2029-30. The scheme will immensely benefit the oil palm farmers, increase capital investment, create employment generation, shall reduce the import dependence and also increase the income of the farmers. Since 1991-92, many efforts have been made by the Government of India to increase the production of oilseeds and oil palm. The oilseeds production has increased from 275 lakh tons in 2014-15 to 365.65 lakh tons in 2020-21. For harnessing the potential of palm oil production, in the year 2020, an assessment has been made by the Indian institute of Oil Palm Research (IIOPR) for cultivation of oil palm which has given an assessment of around 28 lakh ha. Thus, there is huge potential in oil palm plantation and subsequently production of Crude Palm Oil (CPO). At present only 3.70 lakh hectares is under Oil Palm cultivation. Oil palm produces 10 to 46 times more oil per hectare compared to other oilseed crops and has yield of around 4 tons oil per ha. Thus, it has enormous potential for cultivation. Keeping the above in view, and also the fact that even today around 98% of CPO is being imported, it is proposed to launch the Scheme to further increase the area and production of CPO in the country. The proposed scheme will subsume the current National Food Security Mission-Oil Palm programme. There are two major focus areas of the Scheme. The oil palm farmers produce Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFBs) from which oil is extracted by the industry. Presently the prices of these FFBs are linked to the international CPO prices fluctuations. For the first time, the Government of India will give a price assurance to the oil palm farmers for the FFBs. This will be known as the Viability Price (VP). This will protect the farmers from the fluctuations of the international CPO prices and protect him from the volatility. This VP shall be the annual average CPO price of the last 5 years adjusted with the wholesale price index to be multiplied by 14.3 %. This will be fixed yearly for the oil palm year from 1st November to 31st October. This assurance will inculcate confidence in the Indian oil palm farmers to go for increased area and thereby more production of palm oil. A Formula price (FP) will also be fixed which will be 14.3% of CPO and will be fixed on a monthly basis. The viability gap funding will be the VP-FP and if the need arises, it would be paid directly to the farmers accounts in the form of DBT. The assurance to the farmers will be in the form of the viability gap funding and the industry will be mandated to pay 14.3% of the CPO price which will eventually go up to 15.3%. There is a sunset clause for the scheme which is 1st November 2037. To give impetus to the North-East and Andaman, the Government will additional bear a cost of 2% of the CPO price to ensure that the farmers are paid at par with the rest of India. The states who adopt the mechanism proposed by the Government of India would benefit from the viability gap payment proposed in the scheme and for this they will enter into MoUs with the Central Government. The second major focus of the scheme is to substantially increase the assistance of inputs/interventions. A substantial increase has been made for planting material for oil palm and this has increased from Rs 12,000 per ha to Rs.29000 per ha. Further substantial increase has been made for maintenance and inter-cropping interventions. A special assistance @ Rs 250 per plant is being given to replant old gardens for rejuvenation of old gardens. To address the issue of shortage of planting material in the country, seed gardens will be provided assistance up to Rs.80 lakhs for 15 ha. in Rest of India and Rs.100 lakhs for 15 ha in North-East and Andaman regions. Further, assistance for seed gardens @ Rs.40 lakhs and Rs.50 lakhs for Rest of India and North-East & Andaman regions respectively. Further Special assistance will be provided for the North-East and the Andaman regions in which special provisions is being made for half moon terrace cultivation, bio fencing and land clearance along with integrated farming. For capital assistance to the industry, for the North East states and Andamans, a provision of Rs 5 core of 5 mt/hr unit with pro rata increase for higher capacity. This will attract the industry to these regions.",কেন্দ্ৰীয় মন্ত্ৰীসভাই ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় খাদ্য তেল মিছন-পাম অইলৰ ৰূপায়ণক মঞ্জুৰী দিয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-greets-people-on-ram-navami-2/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%80-2/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has greeted the people on the occasion of Ram Navami and wished happiness, peace and prosperity for all.

Environment and sustainable development have been key focus areas for me all through my 20 years in office, first in Gujarat and now at the national level. Friends, we have heard people call our planet fragile. But it is not the planet that is fragile. It is us. We are fragile. Our commitments to the planet, to nature, have also been fragile. A lot has been said over the last 50 years, since the 1972 Stockholm Conference. Very little has been done. But in India, we have walked the talk. Equitable energy access to the poor has been a cornerstone of our environmental policy. Through Ujjwala Yojana, more than 90 million households have been provided access to clean cooking fuel. Under the PM-KUSUM scheme, we have taken renewable energy to the farmers. We are encouraging farmers to set up solar panels, use it and sell surplus power to the grid. Standalone solar pumps as well as efforts for solarising existing pumps are being scaled up. The focus on ”Chemical-free Natural Farming” will also help promote sustainability, and equity. Friends, our LED bulbs distribution scheme has been running for over seven years. It has helped save more than 220 billion units of electricity and 180 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. We have announced the setting up of the National Hydrogen Mission. It aims to tap into Green Hydrogen, an exciting technology to power our future. I encourage academic and research institutes like TERI to come up with scalable solutions to realize the potential of green hydrogen. Friends, India is a mega-diverse country. With 2.4% of the world’s land area, India accounts for nearly 8% of the world’s species. It is our duty to protect this ecology. We are strengthening our Protected Area network. The I.U.C.N. has recognized our efforts. The Aravalli Biodiversity Park in Haryana has been declared as an O.E.C.M. site for its effective conservation of biodiversity. I am also glad that two more wetlands from India have got recognition as Ramsar sites recently. India now has 49 Ramsar sites spread over more than 1 million hectares. Restoring degraded land has been one of our main focus areas. Since 2015, we have restored more than 11.5 million hectares. We are on track to achieve the national commitment of Land Degradation Neutrality under the Bonn Challenge. We firmly believe in fulfilling all our commitments made under the U.N.F. C.C.C. We have also raised our ambitions during CoP-26 at Glasgow. Friends, I firmly believe, and I am sure you would agree that environmental sustainability can only be achieved through climate justice. Energy requirements of the people of India are expected to nearly double in the next twenty years. Denying this energy would be denying life itself to millions. Successful climate actions also need adequate financing. For this, developed countries need to fulfill their commitments on finance and technology transfer. Friends, sustainability requires co-ordinated action for the global commons. Our efforts have recognised this inter-dependence. Through the International Solar Alliance, our aim is ”One Sun, One World, One Grid”. We must work towards ensuring availability of clean energy from a world-wide grid everywhere at all times. This is the ”whole of the world” approach that India’s values stand for. Friends, The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (C.D.R.I.), aims to build strong infrastructure in areas prone to frequent natural disasters. On the side-lines of CoP-26, we also launched an initiative called ”Infrastructure for Resilient Island States”. The Island Developing States are the most vulnerable and hence need urgent protection. Friends, to these two initiatives, we now add LIFE – LIfestyle For Environment. LIFE is about making lifestyle choices to improve our planet. LIFE will be a coalition of like-minded people across the world who will promote sustainable lifestyles. I call them 3Ps – Pro Planet People. This global movement of Pro Planet People (3-Ps) is the Coalition for LIFE. These three global coalitions will form the trinity of our environment efforts for improving the global commons. Friends, our traditions and culture are the sources of my inspiration. In 2021, I spoke about how the health of people and the planet are inter-linked. Indians have always lived in harmony with nature. Our culture, rituals, daily practices and numerous harvest festivals demonstrate our strong bonds with nature. Reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, re-design and re-manufacture have been part of India’s cultural ethos. India will continue to act for climate resilient policies and practices as we have always done. With these words, and with that solemn promise, I extend my best wishes to TERI and to all the participants from around the world at this Summit. Thank you!

We hope for a legally binding international treaty this year. India is committed to eliminating single-use plastic. India recently undertook a nation-wide awareness campaign to clean plastic and other waste from coastal areas. Three hundred thousand young people collected almost 13 tons of plastic waste. I have also directed our Navy to contribute 100 ship-days this year to cleaning plastic waste from the seas.

Earlier, he also inaugurated Smriti Van Memorial in Bhuj district. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that Smriti Van Memorial in Bhuj and Veer Bal Smarak at Anjar are the symbols of shared pain of Kutch, Gujarat and the entire country. He recalled when the concept of Anjar Memorial came up and a resolution was taken for completing the memorial via voluntary work, ‘Kar Seva’. He said that these memorials are being dedicated with a heavy heart in the remembrance of the lives lost in the devastating earthquake. He also thanked the people for their warm welcome today. He recalled many emotions that went through his heart today and said with all humility that in commemorating the departed souls, Smriti Van Memorial is at par with 9/11 memorial and Hiroshima Memorial. He asked people and school children to keep visiting the memorial so that the balance and behaviour of nature remains clear to everyone. The Prime Minister recalled the eve of the devastating earthquake. He said “I remember when the earthquake happened, I reached here on the second day itself. I was not the Chief Minister then, I was a simple party worker. I didn’t know how, and how many people I would be able to help. But I decided that I will be here among you all in that hour of grief. And, when I became Chief Minister, the experience of service helped me a lot.” He recalled his deep and long association with the region, and remembered and paid tribute to people with whom he worked during the crisis. The Prime Minister continued “Kutch has always had one specialty, which I often discuss. Even if a person sows a dream while walking on the way here, then the whole of Kutch gets involved in making it a banyan tree. These sacraments of Kutch proved every apprehension, every assessment wrong. There were many who said that now Kutch will never be able to stand on its feet. But today the people of Kutch have completely changed the scenario here.” He recalled that the first Diwali after the earthquake, he and his state cabinet colleagues spent in the area in solidarity with the people. He said that in that hour of challenge, we proclaimed that we will turn disaster into opportunity (‘aapda se awasar’). “When I say from the ramparts of the Red Fort that India will be a developed country by 2047, you can see that amidst death and disaster, we made some resolutions and we realized them today. Similarly, what we resolve today, we will surely realize in 2047”, he said Highlighting the incredible work done since its complete devastation in 2001, the Prime Minister said that Krantiguru Shyamji Krishnavarma University was formed in 2003 in Kutch, while more than 35 new colleges have also been established. He also talked about earthquake proof district hospitals and more than 200 functional clinics in the area and every household gets clean water of holy Narmada, a far cry from the days of water scarcity in those days. He elaborated on the steps of ensuring water security in the region. He said that due to the blessings of the people of the Kutch, all the key areas have been connected with Narmada water. “Kutch Bhuj Canal will benefit the people and farmers of the region”, he said. He also congratulated Kutch for becoming number one fruit producing district of entire Gujarat. He lauded the people for making unprecedented strides in cattle rearing and milk production. “Kutch has not only picked itself up but has taken the entire Gujarat to new heights”, he added. The Prime Minister recalled the time when Gujarat was hit with one crisis after another. He said, “While Gujarat was dealing with the natural calamity, the period of conspiracies started. In order to defame Gujarat in the country and in the world, one after another conspiracy was hatched to stop the investment here.” The Prime Minister highlighted how even with such a situation at hand, Gujarat became the first state in the country to enact a Disaster Management Act. “With the inspiration of this act, a similar law was made for the whole country. This act helped every government in the country during the pandemic”, he added. He continued that ignoring all the efforts for defaming Gujarat and defying the conspiracies, Gujarat charted a new industrial path. Kutch was one of the big beneficiaries of that. He said that Kutch has the largest cement plants in the world today. Kutch is second in the world regarding welding pipe manufacturing. World’s second largest textile plant is in Kutch. Asia’s first SEZ came up in Kutch. Kandla and Mundra ports handle 30 per cent of India’s cargo and it produces 30 per cent salt for the country. Kutch produces 2500 MW power generated by solar and wind energy and the largest solar hybrid park is coming up in Kutch. The Prime Minister further added that Gujarat has a big role to play in the Green House campaign that is going on in the country today. Similarly, when Gujarat makes its mark as the Green House Capital of the world, Kutch will contribute a lot to it. Recalling one of the Panch Pran – pride in our heritage, that he proclaimed from the ramparts of the Red Fort, the Prime Minister highlighted the prosperity and richness of Kutch. The Prime Minister remarked upon the expertise in city building of the Dholavira. He said, “Dholavira has been given the status of World Heritage Site only last year. Each brick of Dholavira shows the skills, knowledge and science of our ancestors.” Similarly, honouring the freedom fighters who were ignored for long is also part of taking pride in one’s heritage. He recalled the privilege of bringing back the remains of Shyamji Krishna Varma. Memorial at Mandvi and Statue of Unity are also major steps in this regard, he said. The Prime Minister emphasised that the development of Kutch is a perfect example of a meaningful change with ‘Sabka Prayas’. “Kutch is not just a place, but it is a spirit, a living feeling. It is this spirit which shows us the way to the fulfillment of the colossal resolutions of the Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal”, the Prime Minister said. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Member of Parliament, Shri C R Patil and Shri Vinod L Chavda, Speaker of Gujarat Legislative Assembly, Dr Nimaben Acharya, State Ministers Kiritsinh Vaghela and Jitubhai Chaudhary were among those present on the occasion. Details of the projects The Prime Minister inaugurated the Smriti Van Memorial in Bhuj district. Envisioned by the Prime Minister, Smriti Van is a one of its kind initiative. It has been built in an area of around 470 acre to celebrate the spirit of resilience shown by the people after the death of around 13,000 people who had lost their lives during the 2001 earthquake which had its epicentre in Bhuj. The Memorial carries names of the people who had lost their lives during the earthquake. The state of the art Smriti Van Earthquake Museum is segregated in seven blocks based on seven themes: Rebirth, Rediscover, Restore, Rebuild, Rethink, Relive and Renew. The first block is based on the theme Rebirth depicting Earth’s evolution and ability of the earth to overcome every time. The second block showcases Gujarat’s topography and various natural disasters that the state is vulnerable to. The third block takes one back to the immediate aftermath after the 2001 earthquake. Galleries in this block address the massive relief effort undertaken by individuals as well as organisations. The fourth block showcases Gujarat’s rebuilding initiatives and success stories post 2001 earthquake. The fifth block prompts the visitor to think and learn about different types of disasters and future readiness for any type of disaster at any time. The sixth block helps us to relive the experience of an earthquake with the help of a simulator. The experience is designed in a 5D simulator and is meant to give the visitor the ground reality of an event at this scale. The seventh block provides people with a space for remembrance where they can pay homage to the lost souls.

Namaste. At the outset, I apologise for the delay due to logistical reasons. I am delighted to welcome you all to PETROTECH-2019, the thirteenth edition of India’s flagship hydrocarbon Conference. I would also like to congratulate His Excellency Dr. Sultan Al Jaber for his contribution to the energy sector and vision for the future. Over the last quarter century, PETROTECH has served as a platform to discuss solutions to challenges that we face in the energy sector. In each of our respective countries, we seek to deliver affordable, efficient, clean and assured energy supplies to our citizens. The presence of over sixty countries and seven thousand delegates here, is a reflection of that common quest. Several decades of public life have convinced me that energy is a key driver of socio-economic growth. Suitably priced, stable and sustainable energy supply, is essential for rapid growth of the economy. It also helps the poor and deprived sections of society, to partake of economic benefits. At the macro level, the energy sector is a pivot and key enabler of growth. Friends. As we gather here to discuss the present and future of global energy, winds of change are evident in the global energy arena. Energy supply, energy sources and energy consumption patterns are changing. Perhaps, this could be a historic transition. There is a shift in energy consumption from West to East. The United States has become the world’s largest oil and gas producer after the shale revolution. Solar energy and other renewable sources of energy have become more competitive. They are emerging as sustainable substitutes for traditional energy forms. Natural Gas is fast becoming one of the largest fuels in the global energy mix. There are signs of convergence, between cheaper renewable energy, technologies, and digital applications. This may expedite the achievement of many sustainable development goals. Nations are coming together to tackle climate change. This is visible in global partnerships, such as the International Solar Alliance, promoted by India and France. We are entering an era of greater energy availability. But more than a billion people across the globe still do not have access to electricity. Many more do not have access to clean cooking fuel. India has taken a lead in addressing these issues of energy access. In our success, I see hope for the world that problems of energy availability can be suitably addressed. People must have universal access to clean, affordable, sustainable and equitable supply of energy. India’s contribution in the onset of an era based on energy justice is significant. Currently, India is the fastest growing large economy in the world. Leading agencies such as IMF and World Bank, project the same trend to continue in the coming years. In an uncertain global economic environment, India has shown tremendous resilience as an anchor of the world economy. India recently became the sixth largest economy in the world. According to a recent report, by 2030, India could be the second largest world economy. We are also the third largest energy consumer in the world, with demand growing at more than five percent annually. India remains an attractive market for energy companies with energy demand expected to more than double by 2040. We have adopted an integrated approach towards energy planning. During the last PETROTECH Conference in December 2016, I mentioned four pillars for India’s energy future. These are energy access, energy efficiency, energy sustainability and energy security. Friends. Energy justice is also a key objective for me, and a top priority for India. Towards this end, we have developed and implemented many policies. The results of these efforts are now evident. Electricity has reached all our rural areas. This year we aim to achieve hundred per cent electrification of households in India, through a targeted programme called SAUBHAGYA. As we raise production, we also aim to reduce losses in transmission and distribution. Under our UDAY scheme, we are working towards this objective. India’s World Bank Ease of Getting Electricity Ranking, improved from one hundred and eleven in 2014 to twenty-nine in 2018. LED bulbs distributed across the country under the UJALA scheme, have resulted in an annual saving of seventeen thousand crore rupees, or nearly 2.5 billion dollars. Access to clean cooking fuel provides major benefits, especially to women and children at risk of exposure to smoke pollution. LPG connections have been given to over sixty four million or 6.4 crore households in just under three years under the Ujjwala Scheme. A ‘Blue Flame Revolution’ is underway. LPG coverage has reached more than ninety percent, from fifty-five percent five years ago. Clean Transportation is getting a boost. We are jumping directly from BS four to BS six fuel by April 2020. This is the equivalent of EURO six standards. Achievements such as hundred percent electrification, and increased LPG coverage, are possible only through people’s involvement. Energy justice can be done only when people believe in their collective power. Government is only an enabler in converting that belief into a reality. The last five years have seen major reforms in India’s oil and gas sector. We have revamped our upstream policies and regulations. We have launched the Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy to bring transparency and competitiveness in the sector. The bidding criterion has been changed to revenue sharing. This has helped reduce government intervention. An Open Acreage Licensing Policy and a National Data Repository is helping to increase exploration interest in Indian fields. Gas pricing reforms have also been introduced. The Enhanced Oil Recovery Policy aims to promote the use of latest technology in improving productivity of upstream fields. Our downstream sector has been completely liberalized. Market driven petrol and diesel prices reflect changes in the international price of crude oil. India has the fourth largest refining capacity in the world. This will further grow by about 200 million metric tons by 2030. A National Biofuel Policy was enacted last year. Research on second and third generation biofuels is being promoted. Twelve second generation bio-refineries are being set up in eleven states. The ethanol blending and biodiesel programme is reducing carbon emissions, and raising farmers’ incomes. Bio Aviation Turbine Fuel has already been tried out in our civil aviation sector. Our government has encouraged private participation across the entire oil and gas value chain. India is becoming an attractive FDI destination. Companies like Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, TOTAL, Exxon-Mobil, BP and Shell are looking to increase their investments across the value chain. India is making rapid strides towards a gas based economy. Over sixteen thousand kilometres of gas pipeline has been constructed and an additional eleven thousand kilometers is under construction. Execution of three thousand, two hundred kilometers of gas pipeline in Eastern India has begun. This will connect North East India with the National Gas Grid. The tenth bid round for City Gas Distribution will be complete in a month’s time. This will cover over four hundred districts. It will extend coverage of City Gas Distribution to seventy percent of our population. We are gearing up for Industry 4.0. This will change the way industry operates, with new technology and processes. Our companies are adopting latest technologies to improve efficiency, increase safety and reduce costs. This is being done in downstream retail, as well as in upstream oil and gas production, asset maintenance and remote monitoring. In recent years, we have deepened our international engagement with organizations such as the International Energy Agency, and OPEC. We chaired the International Energy Forum from 2016 to 2018. We have been able to convert our traditional buyer-seller engagements into strategic partnerships through bilateral investments. We have also promoted our ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy by strengthening energy engagement with Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Myanmar. I have regularly engaged with global CEOs from the oil and gas sector. In my interactions with world leaders and CEOs, I have always maintained that Oil and Gas are not only a commodity of trade but also of necessity. Whether it is for the kitchen of a common man or for an aircraft, energy is essential. For too long, the world has seen crude prices on a roller-coaster. We need to move to responsible pricing, which balances the interests of both the producer and consumer. We also need to move towards transparent and flexible markets for both oil and gas. Only then can we serve the energy needs of humanity in an optimal manner. Another key issue that needs the world to come together is climate change. Together, we can achieve the targets we set for ourselves at COP-21 in Paris. India has made rapid strides in meeting its commitment. We are on our way to reaching the target. PETROTECH provides the perfect setting to ponder over the future of the energy sector. It is a good platform to reflect on how global shifts, transitions, policies and new technologies will influence market stability and future investments in the sector. I wish you all a successful and fruitful Conference. Thank you.",‘শক্তি হৈছে আর্থ-সামাজিক বিকাশৰ প্রধান চালিকাশক্তি’ : পেট্ৰ’টেক ২০১৯ সন্মিলনত প্রধানমন্ত্রী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-laying-of-foundation-stone-of-multiple-projects-in-visakhapatnam/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%93-%E0%A6%AA/,"(Greetings in local language) Governor of Andhra Pradesh Shri Biswabhusan ji, Chief Minister Shri Jagan Mohan Reddy ji, my cabinet colleague Ashwini Vaishnaw ji, other dignitaries present here and my brothers and sisters of Andhra Pradesh! Just a few months back I had the privilege of attending the 125th Birth Anniversary programme of Viplava Veerudu Alluri Sitaramaraju ji with you all. Today once again I have come to the land of Andhra on such an occasion which is a very momentous day for Andhra Pradesh and Visakhapatnam. Visakhapatnam is a very special city of India. There has always been a rich tradition of trade here. Visakhapatnam was an important port in ancient India. Through this port, trade was carried out even thousands of years ago and with regions till West Asia and Rome. And even today Visakhapatnam remains the focal point of India’s trade. The launch and foundation stone laying of projects worth more than Rs 10 thousand crore will become a means to fulfil the aspirations of Andhra Pradesh and Visakhapatnam. These schemes will not only open many new dimensions like infrastructure, Ease of Living and self-reliant India, but will also take the development journey to new heights. I extend my heartiest congratulations to all the people of Andhra Pradesh for the same. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the former Vice President of our country, Shri Venkaiah Naidu Garu and also Shri Hari Babu. Whenever we meet, we talk a lot about the development of Andhra. Their love and dedication for Andhra is unparalleled. Friends, The people of Andhra Pradesh have a very special quality. They are very affectionate and hardworking by nature. Today, in almost every corner of the world, people of Andhra Pradesh are showcasing their talent in every field. Be it education or business, technology or medical profession, the people of Andhra Pradesh have made a distinct identity in every field. This identity has been created not only because of their professional quality but also due to their friendly nature. The cheerful and lively personality of the people of Andhra Pradesh makes everyone their fan. Telugu speaking people are always in search for excellence. They always strive to do better. I am glad that the development projects which have either been inaugurated or the foundation stones laid today will also further improve the pace of progress in Andhra Pradesh. Friends, In the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’, the country is moving fast on the path of development with the goal of a developed India. This journey of development is multifaceted. It includes our concern for the needs related to the lives of ordinary citizens. It also includes the development of the best modern infrastructure. Our vision on infrastructure is also clearly visible in today’s programme. Our vision is to ensure inclusive development and inclusive growth. Regarding infrastructure, we have never wasted our time on questions like : whether to develop railways or road transport? Whether to concentrate on the ports or the highways? The country has suffered a lot due to this isolated view of infrastructure. This had affected the supply chain and increased logistics costs. Friends, Supply chain and logistics depend on multi-modal connectivity. That’s why we adopted a new approach regarding the development of infrastructure. We focused our attention on the integrated view of development. The Economic Corridor, the foundation stone of which has been laid today, has a provision for a 6-lane road. A separate road will also be built to reach the port. On the one hand we are beautifying the Visakhapatnam railway station while on the other hand we are developing a state-of-the-art fishing harbour. Friends, This integrated view of infrastructure was possible because of the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan. The Gati Shakti plan has not only accelerated the pace of infrastructure development, but has also reduced the cost of projects. Multi Modal Transport System is the future of every city and Visakhapatnam has taken a step forward in this direction. I know that the people of Andhra have been waiting for these projects for a long time. And today as the wait is coming to an end, Andhra Pradesh and its coastal regions will move ahead in this race for development with a new momentum. Friends, Today the whole world is passing through a new era of challenges. There is a shortage of essential goods in some countries, while some countries are facing energy crisis. Almost every country is concerned about its declining economic growth. But amidst everything, India is scaling great heights in myriad fields. India is writing a new saga of development. While you are experiencing it, the entire world is keenly taking note of it. You must be observing how experts and intellectuals are praising India. Today India has become the focal point of the expectations of the whole world. This was possible because today India is working by keeping the expectations and needs of its citizens paramount. Every policy and every decision taken by us has the sole objective of improving the life of the common man. Today, investment in India is increasing due to policies like PLI scheme, GST, IBC, National Infrastructure Pipeline and Gati Shakti. At the same time, the schemes being run for the welfare of the poor are also continuously expanding. In this journey of development, today those areas of the country are also included, which were marginalized before. Even in the most backward districts, schemes related to development are being implemented through the Aspirational Districts programme. Crores of poor people of the country are being given free food grains for the last two and a half years. For the last three and a half years, Rs 6,000 each are directly reaching the farmers’ accounts every year through the PM Kisan Yojana. Similarly, due to our policies related to the sunrise sectors, new opportunities are being created for the youth. From drones to gaming, from space to start-ups, every sector is getting a chance to move forward because of our policies. Friends, When the goals are clear, be it the heights of the sky, or the depths of the ocean, we seek opportunities and carve them out. For example, deep water energy will be extracted through modern technology in Andhra. Today, the country is also making extensive efforts to fulfil the infinite possibilities associated with the Blue Economy. Blue economy has become such a major priority of the country for the first time. Now facilities like Kisan Credit Cards are also available for fishermen. Today, the work of modernizing Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbour has started. This will make life easier for our fishermen. As the power of the poor increases, and they have access to the opportunities associated with modern infrastructure, our dream of a developed India will also be fulfilled. Friends, The sea has been a source of wealth and prosperity for India for centuries, and our coasts have served as gateways to this prosperity. Today, projects worth thousands of crores of rupees are underway in the country for port-led development. They will expand further in future. Today, India of the 21st century is implementing the idea of holistic development. I am sure, Andhra Pradesh will continue to play a crucial role in this campaign of development for the country. With this determination, heartiest thanks to all of you once again! Raise both your hands and say aloud with me – Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Thanks a lot !",বিশাখাপট্টনমত কেইবাটাও প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ লিখিত ৰূপ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-visits-radha-soami-satsang-beas/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8E%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%97-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8-%E0%A6%B8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi visited Radha Soami Satsang Beas today.

I am delighted to join you at the fourth edition of the International Conference on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure. At the outset, we must remind ourselves that the solemn promise of the Sustainable Development Goals is to leave no one behind. That is why, we remain committed to meeting the needs of the poorest and the most vulnerable, by building the next generation infrastructure to realize their aspirations. And, infrastructure is not just about creating capital assets and generating long-term return on investment. It is not about the numbers. It is not about the money. It is about people. It is about providing them high quality, dependable, and sustainable services in an equitable manner. People must be at the heart of any infrastructure growth story. And, that is exactly what we in India are doing. As we scale-up the provision of fundamental services in India… From education to health, From drinking water to sanitation, From electricity to transport, And much more, We are also tackling climate change in a very direct way. That is why, at COP-26, we have committed to attain ‘Net Zero’ by 2070, in parallel with our developmental efforts. Friends, The development of infrastructure can unleash human potential in remarkable ways. But, we must not take our infrastructure for granted. These systems have known and unknown challenges, including climate change. When we launched the CDRI in 2019, it was based on our own experience and felt needs. When a bridge gets washed away in floods, When a power line is broken by cyclonic winds, When a communication tower is damaged by forest fires, It disrupts the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people directly. The consequences of such infrastructure damage can last for years, and affect millions of people. So, the challenge before us is quite clear. With modern technology and knowledge at our disposal, can we create resilient infrastructure that is built to last? Recognition of this challenge under-pins the creation of the CDRI. The fact that this Coalition has expanded and received wide support from across the world indicates that this is our shared concern. Friends, In the short time of two and a half years, the CDRI has taken important initiatives and made valuable contributions. The initiative on ‘Infrastructure for Resilient Island States’ that was launched at COP-26 last year, is a clear expression of our commitment to work with Small Island countries. CDRI’s work on strengthening the resilience of power systems has already benefited communities in coastal India, by reducing the duration of power disruption during cyclones. As this work progresses to the next phase, it can be scaled-up to benefit over 130 million people who are exposed to tropical cyclones every year. CDRI’s work on Resilient Airports is studying 150 airports around the world. It has the potential to contribute to the resilience of global connectivity. The ‘Global Assessment of Disaster Resilience of Infrastructure Systems’ that is being led by CDRI, will help create global knowledge that would be immensely valuable. CDRI Fellows from across the member states are already producing solutions that can be scaled-up. They are also creating a global network of committed professionals that will help shape a resilient future for our infrastructure systems. Friends, To make our future resilient, we have to work towards a ‘Resilient Infrastructure Transition’, which is the primary focus of this conference. Resilient infrastructure can also be the centerpiece of our wider adaptation efforts. If we make infrastructure resilient, we prevent disasters not only for ourselves but for many future generations. It is a shared dream, a shared vision, that we can, and we must, translate into reality. Before I conclude, I would like to congratulate the CDRI and the United States Government for co-hosting this Conference. I also wish to extend my best wishes to all the partners who have co-created this event. I wish you all fruitful deliberations and productive discussions. Thank you. Thank you very much.",দুৰ্যোগ স্থিতিস্থাপক আন্তঃগাঁথনিক লৈ আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় সন্মিলনৰ উদ্বোধনী অধিৱেশনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ লিখিত পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-and-lays-foundation-stone-of-various-development-projects-worth-more-than-rs-16800-crores-in-deoghar/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%93%E0%A6%98%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AC%E0%A7%AE%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%88-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BF/,"Projects will significantly boost infrastructure development, enhance connectivity and give an impetus to ease of living in the region PM inaugurates Deoghar Airport; to provide direct air connectivity to Baba Baidyanath Dham PM dedicates in-patient Department and Operation Theatre services at AIIMS, Deoghar “We are working on the principle of development of the nation by the development of the states” “When a holistic approach guides projects, new avenues of income come for various segments of the society” “We are taking many historic decisions for converting deprivation into opportunities” “When steps are taken to improve the ease of life for common citizens, national assets are created and new opportunities of national development emerge” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of various developmental projects worth more than Rs 16,800 crores in Deoghar today. Governor Jharkhand, Shri Ramesh Bais, Chief Minister Shri Hemant Soren, Union Minister Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, State ministers and people’s representatives were among those present on the occasion. . Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that with the blessings of Baba Baidyanath, projects worth more than Rs 16,000 crore have been inaugurated and the foundation stone has been laid today. These are going to give a huge impetus to Jharkhand’s modern connectivity, energy, health, faith and tourism. The Prime Minister remarked that the country has been working with the thinking of development of the nation by the development of the states since last 8 year. In the last 8 years, in the efforts to connect Jharkhand by highways, railways, airways, waterways, in every way, the same thinking and spirit have been paramount. All these facilities will positively impact the economic development of the state. The Prime Minister said that today, Jharkhand is getting its second airport. This will lead to tremendous ease for devotees of Baba Baidyanath. In the context of making air travel affordable for the common man through the UDAN scheme, the Prime Minister noted that today the benefits of the efforts of the government are visible across the country. About 70 new locations have been added through airports, heliports and water aerodromes in the last 5-6 years under the UDAN scheme. Today, ordinary citizens are getting the facility of air travel on more than 400 new routes. More than 1 crore people have experienced very affordable air travel, many for the first time. The Prime Minister expressed happiness that the flight from Deoghar to Kolkata started today and flights for Ranchi, Delhi and Patna will start soon. Work is on for airports in Bokaro and Dumka, he said. The Prime Minister said along with connectivity, the central government is also focussing on the creation of facilities at important places related to faith and spirituality in the country. Modern facilities have also been expanded in Baba Baidyanath Dham under the PRASAD scheme. When a holistic approach guides the projects, new avenues of income come for various segments of the society and new facilities create new opportunities. The Prime Minister also highlighted the benefits of the country’s effort to enhance the gas-based economy for the state of Jharkhand. He said that PM Urja Ganga Yojana is changing the old picture. “We are taking many historic decisions for converting deprivation into opportunities’, he said. The Bokaro- Angul section of Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra pipeline of GAIL will expand the city gas distribution network in 11 districts of Jharkhand and Odisha. The Prime Minister said we are following the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas. New avenues of development, employment-self-employment are being discovered by investing in infrastructure. We have laid emphasis on aspiration for development, focused on aspirational districts, he said, underlining the benefits of these initiatives for Jharkhand. He said most of the 18,000 villages which were electrified so long after independence are in inaccessible and remote areas. Government has worked in mission mode in the last 8 years to bring tap water, roads and gas connection, he said. Referring to the spread of modern facilities beyond big cities, the Prime Minister said that these projects are proof that when steps are taken for improving ease of life for common citizens, then national assets are created and new opportunities of national development emerge. “This is the right development and we have to collectively accelerate this development”, he said. Development projects in Deoghar As a key step to provide direct connectivity to Baba Baidyanath Dham, which is an important religious destination for devotees from all over the country, the Prime Minister inaugurated the Deoghar Airport. It has been constructed at an estimated cost of around Rs. 400 crore. The Terminal Building of the airport is equipped to handle over five lakhs passengers annually. AIIMS in Deoghar is a boon for the healthcare sector of the entire region. The services at AIIMS Deoghar will get a further boost as the Prime Minister will dedicate to the nation the In-Patient Department (IPD) and Operation Theatre services at AIIMS, Deoghar. This is in accordance with the Prime Minister’s vision to develop excellent healthcare facilities in all parts of the country. The Prime Minister had laid the foundation of AIIMS Deoghar on 25th March 2018. Prime Minister’s commitment to develop world class infrastructure at places of religious importance across the country and improve facilities to the tourists in all such places, will get a further boost as the components of project “Development of Baidyanath Dham, Deoghar” sanctioned under the PRASAD Scheme of the Ministry of Tourism will get inaugurated. The projects being inaugurated by the Prime Minister include development of two large pilgrimage congregation halls with a capacity of 2000 pilgrims each; Jalsar lake front development; Shivganga Pond development among others.

Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Jai Bundelkhand! It is my privilege to visit the birthplace of Ved Vyas and the land of Maharani Lakshmibai again. I am very happy. Namaskar! Popular Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath ji, Deputy Chief Ministers of UP Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya ji and Shri Brajesh Pathak ji, my colleague in the Union Cabinet Shri Bhanupratap Singh ji who represents this region, ministers of UP Government, MPs, MLAs , other public representatives and my dear sisters and brothers of Bundelkhand, Many congratulations and best wishes to the people of UP, to all the sisters and brothers of Bundelkhand, for the modern Bundelkhand Expressway! This expressway is dedicated to the glorious tradition of Bundelkhand. Being an MP of Uttar Pradesh, being a representative of Uttar Pradesh, I am extremely pleased in gifting this expressway to Bundelkhand which produced innumerable warriors, where the devotion towards India flows in the blood, where the valor and hard work of sons and daughters have always glorified the country. Brothers and sisters, I have been visiting Uttar Pradesh for decades. With the blessings of UP, all of you have given me the responsibility of working as the country’s Pradhan Sevak for the last eight years. I always believed that if two important things are added to Uttar Pradesh, if its drawbacks are taken care of, then Uttar Pradesh will revive with greater strength to face the challenges. The first issue was the poor law and order situation here and I’m talking about the past. You all know what was the situation? And the second issue was poor connectivity in all respects. Today, the people of Uttar Pradesh have changed the entire picture of Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath ji. Law and order has also improved under the Yogi ji-led government and connectivity is also improving rapidly. Whatever work was done for modern means of transport in UP in the seven decades after independence, more work is being done today. I am asking you if it is happening or not? Is it happening or not? Is it visible or not? The Bundelkhand Express has not only reduced the distance between Chitrakoot and Delhi by about 3-4 hours, but its benefit is more than that. This expressway will not only give speed to the vehicles here, but it is also going to accelerate the industrial progress of the entire Bundelkhand. Many industries, including storage and cold storage facilities, are going to be established on both sides of this expressway. It will be very easy to set up agro-based industries in this region due to the Bundelkhand Expressway and it will be easy to transport the farm produce to new markets. This will also help a lot the Defense Corridor being built in Bundelkhand. In a way, this expressway is going to connect every corner of Bundelkhand with development, self-employment and new opportunities. Friends, There was a time when it was believed that only big cities had the first right on modern means of transport. Everything should be available to Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Delhi. But now with the change in the government, the temperament has also changed. Modi and Yogi together are moving ahead in a new way leaving the old approach behind. Equal priority has been given to small cities along with big cities in the connectivity projects which have been launched in Uttar Pradesh since 2017. This Bundelkhand Expressway is passing through Chitrakoot, Banda, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Jalaun, Auraiya and Etawah. Purvanchal Expressway is passing through Lucknow as well as Barabanki, Amethi, Sultanpur, Ayodhya, Ambedkar Nagar, Azamgarh, Mau and Ghazipur. The Gorakhpur Link Expressway connects Ambedkarnagar, Sant Kabirnagar and Azamgarh. Ganga Expressway will connect Meerut, Hapur, Bulandshahr, Amroha, Sambhal, Badaun, Shahjahanpur, Hardoi, Unnao, Rae Bareli, Pratapgarh and Prayagraj. You can see a huge force is being created. Every corner of Uttar Pradesh is ready to move at a fast pace with new dreams and resolutions, and this is ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. Let no one be left behind and let all move forward together. The double-engine government is continuously working in this direction. Rapid work is underway for connecting small districts of UP with air service. In the recent past, new airport terminals have been built at Prayagraj and Ghaziabad. A new airport at Kushinagar has been made operational and work is going on for another international airport at Jewar, Noida. Efforts are being made to connect many more cities of UP by air route in the near future too. The tourism industry also gets a lot of strength from such facilities. I was going through the presentation of Bundelkhand Expressway before coming to dais here. I saw a module. There are so many forts beside this expressway. It is not only the fort of Jhansi, but there are several forts. Those who have visited foreign countries must be aware that there are several countries in Europe where a huge tourism industry thrives in the form of forts. People from across the world visit those places to see old forts. After the inauguration of the Bundelkhand Expressway, today I would urge Yogi ji’s government to create a tourism circuit for these forts so that tourists from all over the world come here and see the potential of Bundelkhand. I would make another request to Yogi ji to organize a competition for the youth of Uttar Pradesh to climb the fort when the winter season starts. The route should not be the traditional one, but the toughest one. Organize a meet of the youth to see who climbs the fort first. You will see thousands of youth of Uttar Pradesh will join this competition and because of that people from different parts will come to Bundelkhand. They will stay in the night; will spend some money and a huge opportunity for livelihood will be created. Friends, an expressway gives rise to so many opportunities. Friends, The way UP is getting modernized under the double-engine government is really unprecedented. Remember friends, what I am saying. Will you remember? Raise your hand and tell me that you will remember. Will you remember for sure and tell people over and over again? In UP, it took 40 years to complete the Saryu canal project, Gorakhpur fertilizer plant was closed for 30 years, it took 12 years to complete the Arjun Dam project, there was only a board outside the Amethi rifle factory and the Rae Bareli Rail Coach Factory was not manufacturing coaches but was only decorating and refurbishing the coaches. Today, the infrastructure work is being done so seriously in UP that it has left even developed states behind, friends. Now the identity of UP is changing all over the country. Are you proud or not? Today UP is being glorified. Are you proud or not? Now the whole of India is looking towards UP respectfully. Are you enjoying it or not? And friends, It’s not just about highways or airways. UP is progressing in every field, be it education, manufacturing, or agriculture. Remember what I am sharing with you now. Raise your hand and tell me that you will remember it. Earlier, an average of 50 km of rail lines was being doubled in UP every year. How many kilometers? Before the formation of our government, only 50 kilometres of railway doubling was being done in a year. The youth of my Uttar Pradesh should know how the future is shaped. Today an average of 200 km of rail line is being constructed every year. There were only 11,000 Common Service Centers in UP before 2014. Keep in mind the figure. How many? Eleven thousand! Today more than 1.30 lakh Common Service Centers are functioning in UP. Will you remember this figure? At one time there were only 12 medical colleges in UP. Remember the figure. How many medical colleges? Tell me aloud how many? Twelve medical colleges! Today there are more than 35 medical colleges in UP and work is going on for 14 new medical colleges. Look at the difference between 14 and 50. Brothers and sisters, The stream of development on which the country is moving today has two major aspects at its core. One is intention and the other is dignity. We are not only creating new facilities for the present of the country but are also building the future of the country. We are engaged in building 21st century infrastructure through the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. And friends, Our commitment for development is such that we do not let the time limit overshoot. There are countless examples in Uttar Pradesh of how we complete the projects within the deadline. Our government started the work of beautification of Vishwanath Dham in Kashi and our own government completed it. Our government also laid the foundation stone of Gorakhpur AIIMS and it was also inaugurated by this government. Our government also laid the foundation stone of Delhi-Meerut Expressway and its inauguration was also done by our government. Bundelkhand Expressway is also an example of this. It was to be completed in February next year but it is ready for service 7-8 months in advance, my friends. Every family knows countless difficulties in the wake of Corona. In the midst of these difficulties, we have completed this project ahead of time. It is due to such works that every countryman realizes that the spirit with which he cast his vote is being respected in the true sense and is being utilized. I congratulate Yogi ji and his team in this regard. Friends, When I inaugurate any road, hospital or a factory, I have only one feeling that I respect the voters who formed this government, and therefore, I provide facilities to all the voters of the country. Friends, Today the entire world is looking at India with great hope. We are celebrating 75 years of our independence and making a roadmap for India for the next 25 years. And today when I have come to the land of Bundelkhand, to the land of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, I make a request to the people of more than six lakh villages of India from this heroic land. The festival of independence that we are celebrating today is due to the sacrifices of our ancestors who suffered for hundreds of years. Therefore, it is our responsibility to make plans from now on. There should be several programs in villages till 15th August. The villages should draw plans to celebrate the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. Let us remember the heroes and freedom fighters and create an atmosphere in every village to take a new resolution. I make this request to all the countrymen today from this land of heroes. Friends, Today nothing should be done in India which is not related to the aspiration of the present and the better future of India. Every decision and policy should lay the grounds for accelerating the development of the country. We always have to keep away from anything that harms the country and affects the development of the country. India has got the best opportunity for development after 75 years of independence. We don’t want to miss this opportunity. We have to do maximum development of the country in this period and take it to new heights and make a new India. Friends, There is also a huge challenge before the new India. If attention is not paid now, it can cause a lot of damage to the youth of India and today’s generation. Your present will go astray and your future will be confined to darkness, friends. That’s why it’s important to wake up now. Nowadays, every effort is being made in our country to introduce the culture of collecting votes by distributing freebies. This culture of freebies is very dangerous for the development of the country. The people of the country and especially my youth need to be very careful of this freebies culture. The people following this culture will never build new expressways, airports or defense corridors for you. They feel that they will buy the people by distributing freebies to them. Together we have to defeat this approach and remove the freebies culture from the politics of the country. Friends, Instead of the freebies culture, we are working to fulfill the aspirations of the people by building roads and new rail routes in the country. We are building crores of pucca houses for the poor, completing unfinished irrigation projects for decades, constructing many small and big dams, setting up new electricity plants so that the life of the poor and the farmer becomes easier and the future of the youth of my country is not shrouded in darkness. Friends, It involves hard work and one has to dedicate himself to the service of the public. I am happy that wherever our double-engine governments are there in the country, they are working very hard for development. The double-engine governments are not adopting the shortcut of distributing freebies, but they are working hard to improve the future of the states. And friends, Today I will also tell you one more thing. Balanced development of the country and access to modern facilities even in small towns and villages also amounts to social justice in true sense. The people of eastern India and the people of Bundelkhand were denied facilities for decades. Today when modern infrastructure is being developed there, social justice is also being ensured. When development is taking place in the districts of UP, which were left on their own as backward, it is also a kind of social justice. Steps such as connecting villages with roads, providing cooking gas connection to every household, constructing pucca houses for the poor and building toilets will also strengthen social justice. The people of Bundelkhand are also benefiting a lot from the social justice initiatives of our government. Brothers and sisters, Our government is working continuously to mitigate another hardship of Bundelkhand. We are working on the Jal Jeevan Mission to provide piped water to every household. Under this mission, water connections have been given to lakhs of families of Bundelkhand. Our mothers and sisters have benefited a great deal because of this and their hardships have reduced. We are constantly making efforts to take the water of rivers in Bundelkhand to as many people as possible. Ratoli Dam Project, Bhavni Dam Project and Majhgaon-Chilli Sprinkler Irrigation Project are the result of such efforts. Thousands of crores of rupees have been approved for the Ken-Betwa Link Project. This is going to change the life of a large part of Bundelkhand. Friends, I would like to make another request to the friends of Bundelkhand. On the occasion of 75 years of independence, the country has taken a pledge to build Amrit Sarovars. Seventy-five Amrit Sarovar will also be built in every district of Bundelkhand. This is great work being done for water security and for the future generations. Today I urge all of you to come forward in maximum numbers to help in this noble cause. A village-to-village wire service campaign should be launched for Amrit Sarovar. Brothers and sisters, The cottage industries also have great potential for the development of Bundelkhand. This cottage industry tradition is also being emphasized by our government for AatmaNirbhar Bharat. Make in India is going to be empowered by this cottage industry tradition of India. Today I want to share an example with you and the countrymen as to how small efforts are making a huge impact. Friends, India has been importing toys worth crores of rupees every year from other countries of the world. Now you tell me that even small toys for little children were brought from outside. While toy making has been a family and traditional industry in India, it has been a family business. In view of that, I had urged the toy industry in India to work afresh. I also made an appeal to people to buy Indian toys. We did whatever was required to be done at the government level in such a short time. Today every Indian will be proud and this is an example of how the people of my country embrace the truth wholeheartedly. The result of all this was that today the number of toys coming from abroad has come down to a great extent. I express my gratitude to the countrymen. Now a large quantity of toys is being exported from India. Who has benefited from this? Most of our toy makers are poor, Dalit, backward and tribal families. Our women are also involved in making toys. All these people have benefited from this industry. Jhansi, Chitrakoot and Bundelkhand have a very rich tradition of toys. These too are being promoted by the double-engine government. Friends, The heroes of Bundelkhand, which is the land of warriors, have also hoisted the flag of victory on the playground. The country’s biggest sports honor is now named after Major Dhyan Chand, the son of Bundelkhand. A sports university is also being built in his memory in Meerut, where Dhyan Chand ji spent a lot of time. Sometime back our daughter from Jhansi, Shaili Singh, also did a wonderful job. Shaili Singh, our daughter from Bundelkhand, has been creating new records in long jump and she also won a silver medal in the Under Twenty World Athletics Championship last year. Bundelkhand is full of such young talents. Our government is working in this direction so that the youth here should get a lot of opportunities to move forward, migration from here should stop and modern infrastructure should be built here. May UP continue to strengthen the new identity of good governance! With this wish, I congratulate all of you again for Bundelkhand Expressway.

It was a pleasure interacting with you. I also got to know about your experiences. You have received awards for your extraordinary achievements in various fields ranging from art and culture to gallantry, education to innovation, social service and sports. And you have got these awards after a tough competition. Children from every corner of the country have come forward and you have been selected. The number of awardees may not be so much, but the number of promising children is unparalleled in our country. Once again, many congratulations to all of you for these awards. Today is also National Girl Child Day. I also congratulate and extend my best wishes to all the daughters of the country. Friends, Along with you, I want to especially congratulate your parents and teachers. They have a major contribution to your growth today. Therefore, every success of yours is also the success of your loved ones. It includes the efforts and emotions of your loved ones. My young friends, The award you have received today is very special for another reason. It is the occasion for these awards! The country is currently celebrating 75 years of its independence. You have received this award in this important period. Throughout your life, you would proudly claim that ‘I received this award when my country was celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence’. This award also entails a huge responsibility for you. Now the expectations of your friends, family and society have also increased from you. You do not have to take stress from these expectations, but you have to take inspiration from them. Young friends, small children, sons and daughters of our country have written history in every era. Heroes like Birbala Kanaklata Barua, Khudiram Bose and Rani Gaidinliu have a history in our freedom struggle that fills us with pride. These fighters had made the country’s independence the mission of their lives at a very young age and had dedicated themselves for it. You must have seen it on TV when I went to Nowshera sector of Jammu-Kashmir on Diwali last year. There I met heroes Shri Baldev Singh and Shri Basant Singh, who had fought the war in Kashmir immediately after independence as child soldiers. Now they are very old, but they were very young then. They were recognized as child soldiers for the first time in our army. They had helped the army at such a young age without caring about their lives. Similarly, the bravery and sacrifice of the sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji is another example! Sahibzadas were very young when they had sacrificed with immense valor, patience, courage and complete dedication. Their sacrifice for India’s civilization, culture, faith and religion is incomparable. The country has also started ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ on 26th December in memory of the sacrifices of Sahibzadas. I would like all of you and all the youth of the country to read about the brave Sahibzadas of the country. You must have also seen that a digital statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was installed near India Gate in Delhi yesterday. We get the biggest inspiration of duty, of the nation first from Netaji. Taking inspiration from Netaji, all of us and the young generation, in particular, have to move forward on our path of duty for the country. Friends, Our 75 years of independence are important because today we can be proud of our past and draw energy from it. Now is the time to fulfill the present resolutions. This is the time for new dreams for the future and set new goals and move forward. These goals are for the next 25 years, when the country will complete its hundred years of independence. Think over it. Most of you today are between the ages of 10 and 20. When there will be hundred years of independence, you would be at that stage of your life when the country would be very grand, divine, progressive and at its peak and your life would be full of happiness and peace. In effect, these goals are for our youth, for your generation and for you. Our young generation has an immense role when the country would be at its pinnacle in the next 25 years and there would be a huge potential of the country. Friends, We have got the fruits of what our ancestors sowed; it is because of their austerity and sacrifice. But you belong to a period and where the country is today that you would get to savor the fruits that you would sow! Such a swift change is going to happen. Therefore, you must have seen that our young generation and you are at the center of the policies and efforts that are being made in the country today. You take up any sector. Today there are missions like Startup India, programs like Standup India; there is a massive Digital India campaign, the impetus is being given to the Make in India, the mass movement of self-reliant India is leading to the rapid expansion of modern infrastructure in every nook and corner of the country, highways and high-speed expressways are being built. With whose pace does this progress and speed match? You are the people who see themselves connected with all these changes and remain so excited for all of them. Your generation is leading this new era not only in India but outside India as well. Today we feel proud when we see the CEOs of all the major companies of the world and everyone is discussing them. Who are these CEOs? They are the children of our own country. This is the young generation of this country which is dominant in the world today. Today, we feel proud when we see that the youth of India are making their mark in the world of start-ups. Today, we feel proud when we see that the youth of India are making new innovations and taking the country forward. Sometime from now, India, on its own strength, is all set to send Indians into space for the first time. The responsibility of the Gaganyaan mission is also on our youth. The youth who have been selected for this mission are working hard. Friends, The awards that you received today also celebrate the courage and valor of our younger generation. This courage and valor is the identity of new India today. We have seen the country’s fight against Corona. Our scientists and vaccine manufacturers took the lead in the world and provided vaccines to the country. Our healthcare workers served the countrymen non-stop even in the toughest of times. Our nurses are vaccinating people visiting the most difficult places in villages. This reflects the country’s great example of courage. Similarly, look at the valor of our soldiers posted on the borders. Their courage to protect the country has become our identity. Today our players are also achieving accolades, considered impossible for India. Similarly, our daughters are doing wonders in the fields where they were not allowed earlier. This is the new India, which does not hold back from innovating. Courage and determination are the identities of India today. Friends, Today, India is taking continuous steps to strengthen the future of its present and coming generations. Emphasis is being laid on learning in the local languages in the new National Education Policy. This will make it easier for you to read and learn. Special provisions have been made in the education policy to enable you to study the subjects of your choice. Atal Tinkering Labs, being built in thousands of schools across the country, are instilling the potential of innovation in children from the very early days of their studies. Friends, The children of India, the younger generation have always proved their mettle in taking India to new heights in the 21st century. I remember I had called children from across the country during Chandrayaan. I can never forget their enthusiasm and zeal. The children of India have displayed their modern and scientific thinking in the vaccination program as well. Since January 3, more than 40 million children have got the corona vaccine in just 20 days. It shows the awareness of the children of our country about their responsibilities. Friends, I also give a lot of credit for the success of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to the children of India. As child soldiers, you inspired your family and neighborhood households for the cleanliness campaign. The children themselves had taken up the task of ensuring cleanliness in houses by family members and no filth inside and outside of the houses. Today I seek cooperation from the children of the country for one more thing. And if the children support me, then the change will come in every family. And I am confident that my little friends and this army of children will help me a lot in this work. As you came forward for the cleanliness campaign, you should also come forward for the ‘Vocal for Local’ campaign. All the brothers and sisters at home should make a list of products that you use from morning till late at night and write down them on a paper which are not made in India, but foreign-made. You then insist your family to buy the products made in India. It should have the fragrance of the soil of India and the sweat of the youth of India. What happens when you buy made-in-India products? Immediately, our production will pick up. Production will increase in everything. And when production increases, new employment opportunities will also be created. When employment increases, your life will also become self-sufficient. Therefore, the campaign of AatmaNirbhar Bharat is linked to our young generation, to all of you. Friends, Two days from today, the country will celebrate its Republic Day. We have to make some new resolutions for our country on Republic Day. Our resolutions can be for society, for the country and for the future of the entire world. The example of the environment is before us. India is doing so much for the environment today, and the entire world will benefit from it. I would like you to think about those resolutions which are related to the identity of India and which will help in making India modern and developed. I am sure that your dreams will connect with the country’s resolutions and you will set innumerable records for the country in the times to come. With this belief, many congratulations to all of you once again! Lots of love, congratulations and thanks to all my young friends!",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বাল পুৰস্কাৰ বঁটা বিজয়ীসকলৰ সৈতে বাৰ্তালাপত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পাঠৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/list-of-mousagreements-signed-during-the-state-visit-of-prime-minister-of-nepal-to-india/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE/,"1.

This addresses an issue pending for nearly 24 years. This will ensure that the children of those serving in lower categories in PSUs and other institutions can get the benefit of OBC reservations, on par with children of people serving in lower categories in Government. This will also prevent children of those in senior positions in such institutions, who, owing to absence of equivalence of posts, may have been treated as non Creamy Layer by virtue of wrong interpretation of income standards from cornering government posts reserved for OBCs and denying the genuine non creamy layer candidates a level playing field. The Union Cabinet also approved the increase in the present income criterion of Rs. 6 lakh per annum for applying the Creamy Layer restriction throughout the country, for excluding Socially Advanced Persons/Sections (Creamy Layer) from the purview of reservation of Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The new income criterion will be Rs. 8 lakh per annum. The increase in the income limit to exclude the Creamy Layer is in keeping with the increase in the Consumer Price Index and will enable more persons to take advantage of reservation benefits extended to OBCs in government services and admission to central educational institutions. These measures are a part of the Government’s efforts to ensure greater social justice and inclusion for members of the Other Backward Classes. The Government has already introduced in Parliament, a bill to provide Constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes. It has also decided to set up a Commission, under section 340 of the Constitution, to sub categorize the OBCs, so that the more backward among the OBC communities can also access the benefits of reservation for educational institutions and government jobs. All these decisions, taken together, are expected to ensure greater representation of OBCs in educational institutions and jobs, while also ensuring that the more under-privileged within the category are not denied their chance of social mobility. Background: In its judgment dated 16.11.1992 in WP(C) 930/1990 (IndraSawhney case) the Supreme Court had directed the Government to specify the basis, for exclusion of socially and economically advanced persons from Other Backward Classes by applying the relevant and requisite socio-economic criteria. An Expert Committee was constituted in February 1993 which submitted its report on 10.03.1993 specifying the criteria for identification of socially advanced persons among OBCs i.e. the Creamy Layer. The report was accepted by the then Ministry of Welfare and forwarded to DoPT which issued an OM dated 08.09.1993 on exclusion from the Creamy Layer. The OM of 08.09.1993 specifies six categories for identifying Creamy Layer (a) Constitutional/Statutory post (b) Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’ Officers of Central and State Governments, employees of PSUs and Statutory bodies, universities, (c) Colonel and above in armed forces and equivalent in paramilitary forces (d) professionals like Doctors, Lawyers, Management Consultants, Engineers etc. (e) Property owners with agricultural holdings or vacant land and/or buildings and (f) income/wealth tax asessee. The OM further stipulates that the said parameters would apply mutatis mutandis to officers holding equivalent or comparable posts in PSUs, Banks, Insurance Organizations, Universities, etc. and Government was required to determine equivalence of positions in these organizations with those in Government. Pending the equivalence to the established in these institutions Income criteria would apply for the officers in these Institutions. However, this exercise of determining the equivalence of posts in Government and posts in PSUs, PSBs etc. had not been initiated. The determination of equivalence of posts has been thus pending for almost 24 years. The matter of formulating equivalence has since been examined in detail. In PSUs, all Executive level posts i.e. Board level executives and managerial level posts would be treated as equivalent to group ‘A’ posts in Government and will be considered Creamy Layer. Junior Management Grade Scale–1 and above of Public Sector Banks, Financial Institutions and Public Sector Insurance Corporations will be treated as equivalent to Group ‘A’ in the Government of India and considered as Creamy Layer. For Clerks and Peons in PSBs, FIs and PSICs, the Income Test as revised from time to time will be applicable. These are the broad guidelines and each individual Bank, PSU, Insurance Company would place the matter before their respective board to identify individual posts.","চাকৰিৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত অন্যান্য পিছপৰা শ্রেণীৰ প্রার্থীসকলৰ সংৰক্ষণৰ স্বার্থত কেন্দ্ৰীয় ৰাজহুৱা খণ্ডৰ প্ৰতিষ্ঠান, বেংক আৰু বীমা প্ৰতিষ্ঠানৰ দৰে ৰাজহুৱা খণ্ডৰ প্ৰতিষ্ঠান আৰু অন্যান্য সংস্থাত চৰকাৰী পদৰ সম মৰ্যাদাৰ পদ সৃষ্টিত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-indian-hockey-team-for-winning-the-asia-cup-2017/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AD-%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Indian Hockey Team for winning the Asia Cup 2017. “Great game, great win!

Presently, you must be amid preparations for bidding farewell to 2021 and welcoming 2022. On New Year, every person, every organization, takes a resolution to do something better, to become better in the coming year. For the last seven years, our ‘Mann Ki Baat’ has also been inspiring us to do better and improve further, by highlighting the goodness of the individual, of the society, of the country. In these seven years, while doing ‘Mann Ki Baat’, I could also have discussed the achievements of the government…You too would have liked it; you would have appreciated it as well! But it is my experience of decades, that away from the glare of the media, away from the headlines of newspapers, there are millions of people who are doing great things. They are expending their today for the ensuing tomorrow of the country. For the coming generations of the country, they are busy today relentlessly with their efforts. Talking about such people is very comforting; gives deep inspiration. For me ‘Mann Ki Baat’ has always been a beautiful garden filled with the efforts of such people and in ‘Mann Ki Baat’, every month my effort is…from this garden, which petal should I pluck for you? I am happy that from the treasure trove of our land the unceasing flow of virtuous deeds keeps on flowing ceaselessly. And today when the country is celebrating Amrit Mahotsav, the mention of this Janashakti; the strength of each and every individual, their efforts, their hard work, in a way, guarantees a bright future for India and humanity. Friends, this is the strength of the people; it is because of everyone’s effort that India could fight the biggest pandemic in a 100 years. We stood by each other like a family in every difficult moment. To help someone in one’s locality or city… everyone tried to do more than what one could have done. If we compare the vaccination figures of the world today with those of India, it feels that the country has handled such an unprecedented task… how big a goal has been achieved. Crossing the 140 million vaccine dose mark is an achievement of each and every Indian. This shows the trust of every Indian in the system; shows trust in science and in scientists; and is also a testament to the willpower of we Indians who are fulfilling our responsibilities towards the society. But friends, we also have to keep in mind that a new variant of Corona has already knocked at the door. Our experience of the last two years is that our own effort as a citizen is very important to defeat this global pandemic. Our scientists are continuously studying this new Omicron variant. They are getting new data everyday , their suggestions are being worked upon. In such a situation, self-awareness, self-discipline is in itself the country’s strength in fighting against this variant of Corona. It is this very collective strength of ours that will defeat Corona; with this very sense of responsibility we have to enter into 2022. My dear countrymen, during the battle of Mahabharata, Bhagwan Shri Krishna expressed to Arjuna – ‘ Nabhah Sprisham Deeptam ‘ i.e. touch the sky with pride. This is also the motto of the Indian Air Force. Many lives engaged in the service of Maa Bharati soar over these heights of the sky with pride every day; they teach us a lot. Such was the life of Group Captain Varun Singh. Varun Singh was flying the helicopter that fell prey to a mishap this month in Tamil Nadu. In that accident, we lost the country’s first CDS, General Bipin Rawat and his wife along with many brave hearts. Varun Singh also fought death bravely for many days, but then he also left us. When Varun was in the hospital, I saw something on social media that touched my heart. He was given Shaurya Chakra in August just this year. After this honor, he had written a letter to the principal of his school. After reading this letter, the first thought that came to my mind was that even after reaching the pinnacle of success, he did not forget to nurture his roots. Second – that when he had time to celebrate, he showed concern for the generations to come. He wanted that the lives of the students of the school that he studied in should also be a celebration. In his letter, Varun Singh ji did not boast of his valour; instead he referred to his failures. He talked about how he converted his shortcomings into abilities. At one place in this letter he has written – “ It is ok to be mediocre. Not everyone will excel at school and not everyone will be able to score in the 90s. If you do, it is an amazing achievement and must be applauded. However, if you don’t, do not think that you are meant to be mediocre. You may be mediocre in school but it is by no means a measure of things to come in life. Find your calling – it could be art, music, graphic design, literature, etc. Whatever you work towards, be dedicated, do your best. Never go to bed, thinking, I could have put-in more efforts. Friends, the mantra he has given to rise from average to extraordinary is equally important. In this letter Varun Singh has written – “Never lose hope. Never think that you cannot be good at what you want to be. It will not come easy, it will take sacrifice of time and comfort. I was mediocre, and today, I have reached difficult milestones in my career. Do not think that 12th board marks decide what you are capable of achieving in life. Believe in yourself and work towards it.” Varun had written that if he could inspire even a single student , it would be a lot. But today I would like to say – he has inspired the whole country. Even though his letter talks only to the students , he has given a message to our entire society. every year I discuss such similar topics with students on exams. This year also I am planning to discuss with the students before the exams. The registration for this program is also going to start two days later, 28th December onwards on Mygov.in . This registration will be on from 28th December to 20th January. For this, online competition will also be organized for students, teachers, and parents of class 9 to 12. I would like you all to take part in this… will get an opportunity to meet you. Together we will brainstorm on many aspects related to examinations, career, success and student life. My dear countrymen, in Mann ki Baat now, I am going to make you listen to something which has come from far away, across borders. It will delight you and amaze you as well : (Instrumental + Vocal (VandeMatram)) VandeMataram . vandemataram SujalanSuphalanMalayajsheetlam ShasyashamalanMataram. vandemataram shubrajyotsnapulkitayamini fullakusumitdrumdalshobinin suhasini sweet talker Sukhdanboordaanmataram. VandeMataram. VandeMataram . I am sure you must have enjoyed listening to that; with a feeling of pride. The spirit that is embodied in Vande Mataram fills us with pride and enthusiasm. Friends, you certainly must be thinking… where is this beautiful video from; what country has it come from? The answer will add to your surprise. These students who presented Vande Mataram are from Greece. There they attend a High School at Illia. The beauty and emotion with which they have sung ‘ VandeMataram ‘ is amazing and commendable. Such efforts bring people of two countries closer. My greetings to these students of Greece and their teachers. I appreciate their effort during the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. Friends, I would also like to discuss a post of Nilesh ji, a resident of Lucknow. Nilesh ji has showered praises on a unique Drone Show in Lucknow. This drone show was organized in the Residency area of Lucknow. The testimony of the first freedom struggle of 1857 is still visible on the walls of the Residency . In the Drone Show held at the Residency , different aspects of the Indian freedom struggle were brought to life. Be it ‘ Chauri Chaura Andolan ‘ , the ‘ Kakori Train ‘ incident or Netaji Subhash’s indomitable courage and valor, this Drone Show won everyone’s hearts. Similarly, you can also bring to the people the unique aspects related to the freedom movement connected to your cities, villages. In that you can take a lot of help of technology. Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav gives us an opportunity to live the memories of the freedom struggle; gives us an opportunity to experience them. This is an inspiring festival, a motivating occasion , to display the will to do something, to take new resolves for the country. Let us continue to be inspired by the great personalities of the freedom struggle, continue to further strengthen our efforts for the country. My dear countrymen, our India is endowed with many extraordinary talents, whose work inspires others to do something. One such person is Dr. Kurela Vithalacharya ji from Telangana. He is 84 years old. Vithalacharya ji exemplifies the fact that when it comes to fulfilling your dreams, age does not matter at all. Friends, right from childhood Vitthlacharya ji had a wish to open a big library. The country was a slave then, some circumstances were such that the childhood dream remained just a dream. Over time Vittlachary ji, became a lecturer, deeply studied the Telugu language and also created many works in the same. 6-7 years ago he once again started fulfilling his dream. He started a library with his own books. He put his life’s earnings into this. Gradually, people started joining and contributing to it. In this library at Ramannapet Division in Yadadri-Bhuvnagiri District, there are nearly 2 lakh books. Vitthalacharya ji says that when it comes to studies, none else should have to face the difficulties he had to. Today he feels very happy to see that a large number of students are getting its benefits. Inspired by his efforts, people of many other villages have started setting up libraries. Friends, books not only impart knowledge; they also shape personality and life. The hobby of reading books leads to a wonderful satisfaction. These days I notice people proudly saying that they have read these many books this year! And that I want to read many more of such books. This is a good trend, which should be enhanced further. I would also ask the listeners of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ to mention about five books of theirs this year, which have been their favourites. In this way, you will also be able to help other readers to choose good books in 2022. At a time when the screen time is on the upswing, Book Reading should get more and more popular; for that too, we will have to strive together . My dear countrymen, recently my attention has been drawn to an interesting endeavor. This effort is to make our ancient texts and cultural values popular not only in India but all over the world. In Pune there is a centre named Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. This institute has started an online course to acquaint the people of other countries with the importance of Mahabharata. You would be amazed to know that although this this course has been started now, the content being taught started taking shape over a 100 years ago. When the Institute started a course with regard to this, it received tremendous response. I am discussing this grand initiative so that people become aware of how the various aspects of our traditions are being presented in a modern manner. Innovative methods are also being adopted to ensure its benefits reach people based across seven seas. Friends, today there is a growing interest in the world to know about Indian culture. People from different countries are not only curious to know about our culture but are also helping to spread it. One such person is Serbian Scholar Dr.Momir Nikich. He has compiled a Bilingual Sanskrit-Serbian Dictionary. More than 70 thousand Sanskrit words included in this dictionary have been translated into Serbian language. You would be delighted to know that Dr.Nikich has learned Sanskrit language at the age of 70. He tells that he got his inspiration from reading the articles of Mahatma Gandhi. A similar example is that of 93 (Ninety-three) year old Professor J. Gendedharam of Mongolia. In the last 4 decades, he has translated about 40 ancient texts, epics and compositions of India into Mongolian language. Many people are working with this kind of passion in our country too. I also got to know about the efforts of Sagar Mule ji of Goa, who is involved in saving centuries old ‘Kaavi’ painting from extinction. ‘Kaavi’ form of painting covers the ancient history of India in itself. Actually, ‘Kaava’ means red soil. In ancient times red clay was used in this art. During the Portuguese rule in Goa, the people who migrated from there introduced the people of other states to this wonderful painting form. With the passage of time this painting was on the verge of extinction. But Sagar Mule ji has infused a new lease of life to this art. His efforts are also getting a lot of appreciation. Friends, a small effort, even a small step, can make a huge contribution in the preservation of our rich arts. If the people of our country are determined, the passion to adorn, beautify and save our ancient arts across the country can take the form of a mass movement. I’ve talked about a few attempts here. Many such efforts are taking place across the country. Do convey information on them to me through Namo App . My dear countrymen, the people of Arunachal Pradesh have been running a unique campaign for a year and have named it “Arunachal Pradesh Airgun Surrender Campaign”. In this campaign, people are voluntarily surrendering their airguns – Do you know why? So that indiscriminate hunting of birds can be stopped in Arunachal Pradesh. Friends, Arunachal Pradesh is home to more than 500 species of birds. These include some indigenous species, which are not found anywhere else in the world. But gradually, now the number of birds in the forests has started declining. This airgun surrender campaign is going on now to rectify this very situation. During the past few months, from the hills to the plains, from one community to the other, people everywhere in the state welcomed it with open arms. The people of Arunachal have voluntarily surrendered more than 1600 airguns. I commend and congratulate the people of Arunachal for this. My dear countrymen, there have been many messages and suggestions related to 2022 from all of you. One theme is always there in most people’s messages. That is of cleanliness and Swachh Bharat. This resolve of cleanliness will be fulfilled only with discipline, awareness and dedication. We can get a glimpse of that in the Puneet Sagar campaign undertaken by cadets. More than 30 thousand NCC cadets participated in this campaign. These cadets cleaned the beaches, removed plastic waste from there and collected it for recycling. Our beaches, our mountains are worth visiting only when there is cleanliness at the place. Many people dream of going to a particular place all their lives… but when they go there, knowingly or unknowingly, they leave behind waste there. It is the responsibility of every countryman that the places which give us so much joy, should not be dirtied by us. Friends, I have come to know about a start-up named saafwater which has been started by some youth. With the help of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of things , it will give information related to the purity and quality of water in their area to people. This is just the next step of cleanliness. In view of the importance of this start-up for the clean and healthy future of the people , it has also received a Global Award . Friends, in this effort ‘Ek qadam swachhata ki ore’ , be it the institutions or the government, everyone has an important role. You all know that earlier there used to be a lot of old files and papers in government offices. Ever since the government has started changing the old practices, these files and piles of paper are getting digitized and stored in computer folders . Special campaigns are also being run in ministries and departments to remove the old and pending material. Some very interesting things have happened through this campaign. When this cleanliness drive was started in the Department of Post , the junkyard there became completely empty. Now this junkyard has been turned into a courtyard and cafeteria. Another junkyard has been converted into a parking space for two wheelers. Similarly, the Ministry of Environment converted its vacant junkyard into a wellness centre. The Ministry of Urban Affairs has even installed a Swachh ATM too. Its purpose is that people deposit garbage and take cash in return. Departments under the Civil Aviation Ministry have started making organic compost from dry leaves falling from trees and organic waste. This department is also working to make stationery from waste paper. Our government departments can also be so innovative on a subject like cleanliness. Till a few years ago, no one even believed in it , but today it is becoming a part of the system. This is the new thinking of the country, which is being led by all the countrymen together. My dear countrymen, this time also in ‘Mann Ki Baat’ we touched upon many topics. Like every time, after a month, we will meet again, but, in 2022. Every new beginning also brings an opportunity to recognize your potential. Goals we didn’t even imagine before. Today the country is making efforts for them. It is said here – Kshanashah kanashashchaiva, vidyam artham cha saadhayet. Kshane Nashte Kuto Vidya, Kane Nashte Kuto Dhanam || That is, when we want to earn knowledge, learn something new or do it, we should make use of every single moment. And when we have to earn money, that is, progress and growth, every particle, every resource, should be used optimally. Since, with the destruction of the moment, learning and knowledge are gone, and with the destruction of the particle, the resource, paths to wealth and progress are closed. This thing is an inspiration for all of us countrymen. We have to learn so much, innovate anew, achieve new goals, therefore , we will have to persevere without wasting even a moment. We have to take the country to new heights of development, so we have to make full use of every resource of ours. In a way, this is also the mantra of Atma Nirbhar Bharat that is self-reliant India, because, when we use our resources properly, we will not let them go waste, only then will we recognize the power of local, only then will the country be self-reliant. So, let us reiterate our resolve to think big, dream big, and work hard to make them come true. And, our dreams will not be limited to us alone. Our dreams will be such that the development of our society and the country is connected, our progress will open the way for the progress of the country and for this, we have to start working from today, without wasting a single moment, without losing a single particle or resource. I am fully confident that with this very resolve the country will move forward in the coming year, and 2022 will be the golden page of building a new India. With this very faith, wishing you all a very Happy 2022. Thank you very much.",২৬.১২.২০২১ তাৰিখে ‘মন কী বাত’ৰ ৮৪ তম খণ্ডত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-applauds-of-indian-railway-coach-production-under-make-in-india-initiative/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%9A/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has praised Indian Railway Coach production under ‘Make In India’ initiative.

At the India Pavilion, the Prime Minister unveiled HTT-40 – the indigenous trainer aircraft designed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. During the programme, the Prime Minister also launched Mission DefSpace and laid the foundation stone of Deesa airfield in Gujarat. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister welcomed the delegates to an event of the capable and Aatmnirbhar Bharat both as a Prime Minister and as a son of Gujarat. Remarking on the organisation of the DefExpo2 2022, the Prime Minister said that it paints a picture of New India and its capabilities whose resolve is being forged at the time of Amrit Kaal. He further added that it is an amalgamation of the country’s development as well as states’ cooperation. “It has the power and dreams of the youth, it has the resolve and capabilities of the youth. It has hopes for the world and opportunities for friendly nations.” the Prime Minister said. Underlining the uniqueness of this edition of Defexpo, the Prime Minister said “this is the first defence expo where only Indian companies are participating and it features only Made in India equipment.” He announced “From the land of Iron Man, Sardar Patel we are setting an example of the capabilities of India before the world. The Expo has more than 1300 exhibitors which include the India Defence Industry, some joint ventures associated with Indian Defence Industry, MSMEs and more than 100 startups. The Prime Minister remarked that it provides a glimpse of the capability and possibility of India in one single frame. He further informed that more than 400 MoUs are being signed for the first time ever. Noting the positive response from various countries, the Prime Minister expressed happiness that when India is giving shape to its dreams, 53 friendly countries from Africa are walking with us. The second India-Africa Defence Dialogue will also take place on this occasion, the Prime Minister informed. “This relationship between India and Africa is based on time-tested trust that is further deepening and touching new dimensions with the passing of time”, the Prime Minister added. Dwelling upon the old ties between Africa and Gujarat, the Prime Minister recalled that the first railway lines in Africa had the participation of people from Kutch. Many words used in daily life in Africa have their origin in the Gujarati community in Africa. “Even for a global leader like Mahatma Gandhi, if Gujarat was his birthplace, then Africa was his first ‘Karmbhoomi’. This affinity for Africa is still central to India’s foreign policy. During the Corona period, when the whole world was worried about the vaccine, India delivered the vaccine giving priority to our friendly countries in Africa”, he said. The 2nd Indian Ocean Region+ (IOR+) Conclave will also be held during the Expo, which will provide a stage for a comprehensive dialogue to promote defence cooperation amongst IOR+ nations to foster peace, growth, stability and prosperity, in line with the Prime Minister’s vision for Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR). The Prime Minister said, “Today, from international security to global trade, maritime security has emerged as a global priority. The role of the merchant navy has also expanded in the era of globalisation.” He continued, “The world’s expectations from India have increased, and I assure the world community that India will fulfil them. Therefore, this Defense Expo is also a symbol of global trust towards India” The Prime Minister acknowledged Gujarat’s identity with regard to development and industrial capabilities. “This Defence Expo is giving a new height to this identity”, he said. He further added that Gujarat will emerge as a major centre of the defence industry in the coming days. The Prime Minister who also laid the foundation stone of the Deesa airfield in Gujarat said that the forward airforce base will add to the security architecture of the country. Noting Deesa’s proximity with the border, the Prime Minister said that now India is better prepared to respond to any misadventure on the western borders. “After coming to the government, we decided to set up an operational base in Deesa, and this expectation of our forces is being fulfilled today. This region will now become an effective centre of security of the country”, Shri Modi added. “Space technology is an example of what security will mean for any strong nation in the future. Various challenges in this area have been reviewed and identified by the three services. We have to work fast to solve them.” “Mission Defence Space”, he continued, “will not only encourage innovation and strengthen our forces but also provide new and innovative solutions.” The Prime Minister highlighted that space technology is shaping new definitions of India’s generous space diplomacy, giving rise to new possibilities. “Many African countries and many other small countries are benefiting from this”, he added. The Prime Minister informed that there are more than 60 developing countries with whom India is sharing its space science. “The South Asia satellite is an effective example of this. By next year, ten ASEAN countries will also get real-time access to India’s satellite data. Even developed countries like Europe and America are using our satellite data”, he added. In the defence sector, the Prime Minister said, new India is moving ahead with the mantra of Intent, Innovation and Implementation. Till 8 years ago, India was recognized as the world’s largest defence importer. But New India showed intent, showed willpower and ‘Make in India’ is becoming a success story in the defence sector today. “Our defence exports have grown 8 times in the last 5 years. We are exporting defence materials and equipment to more than 75 countries of the world. In 2021-22 Defence exports from India reached $1.59 billion i.e. about 13 thousand crore rupees. And in the coming time, we have set a target to reach 5 billion dollars i.e. 40 thousand crore rupees’” he added. The world is relying on India’s technology today because India’s armies have proved their capabilities. The Indian Navy has inducted state-of-the-art aircraft carriers like the INS-Vikrant into its fleet. This engineering giant and colossal masterpiece has been made by Cochin Shipyard Limited with indigenous technology. ‘The induction of the Prachand Light Combat Helicopters developed under the ‘Make in India’ initiative by Indian Air Force is a clear example of India’s defence capability, he said. Throwing light on making India’s defence sector self-reliant, the Prime Minister highlighted that the armies have also finalised two lists of equipment which would be procured only within the country. This list of 101 such items is being released today. These decisions also show the potential of a self-reliant India. After the list, there will be 411 such equipment and equipment of the defence sector, which will only be bought under the “Make in India’. The Prime Minister informed that such a huge budget will strengthen the foundation of Indian companies and take them to new heights. He further added that it will be the youth of the nation that will benefit the most from it. The Prime Minister highlighted that reliable options are now mushrooming to replace the monopoly that few companies have created in the field of defence supply. “The youth of India has shown the power to break this monopoly in the defence industry and this effort of our youth is for the global good.”, Shri Modi said. He underlined that the small countries of the world who are left behind in their security due to lack of resources will now reap great benefits from this. The Prime Minister underlined, “India sees the defence sector as an infinite sky of opportunities, as positive possibilities.” Speaking on investment opportunities in the defence sector, the Prime Minister informed that India is building two defence corridors in UP and Tamil Nadu and many big companies of the world are coming to invest in India. He also highlighted the might of the MSMEs in the sector and informed that these big companies will be supported by our MSMEs while creating a large network of supply chains behind this investment. “Investments of such scale in this sector will generate huge employment opportunities for the youth in those areas which were not even thought of earlier”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister called upon all the companies present at the Defense Expo and urged them to give shape to these opportunities keeping the India of the future at the centre. “You innovate, take a pledge to be the best in the world, and give shape to the dream of a strong developed India. You will always find me there supporting you”, he concluded. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Governor of Gujarat, Shri Acharya Devvrat, Union Minister of Defence, Shri Rajnath Singh, Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Army Staff, General Manoj Pande, Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari, Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral R Hari Kumar, and Defence Secretary to Government of India, Dr Ajay Kumar were those present on occasion among others.

(My good friend, Welcome to India!) Your visit, Prime Minister, is a long-anticipated moment in the journey of friendship between India and Israel. Your visit is also a fitting climax to the comemoration of 25 years of diplomatic relations between India and Israel. As our first honoured guest in 2018, your visit marks a special beginning to our New Year calendar. It comes at an especially auspicious time as people all over India are rejoicing the arrival of spring, renewal, hope and harvest. The festivals of Lohri, Bihu, MakarSankranti, and Pongal celebrate the splendour of India’s diversity and unity. Friends, Last year in July, I carried the greetings and friendship of 1.25 billion Indians during my momentous journey to Israel. In return, I was overwhelmed by the generous affection and warmth of the Israeli people, led by my friend, Bibi. In that visit, Prime Minister Netanyahu and I promised each other and our people to build a strategic partnership: of hope and trust and progress of diverse and cutting-edge cooperation, and of joint endeavours and shared successes Such a promise flows as much from the natural affinity and friendship that have linked us for centuries as it does from the compelling win-win case for engagement in almost all spheres . And it is a measure of our shared ambition and commitment that six short months after that visit; your extraordinary visit is taking place to India. Today and yesterday, Prime Minister Netanyahu and I reviewed the progress in our relations and renewed our conversation on the possibilities and the opportunities that beckon us and need to be seized. Our discussions were wide-ranging and intensive. They were marked by the desire to do more. Prime Minister, I have a reputation of being impatient in getting results. If I may let out an open secret, I know that so are you. Last year in Tel Aviv, you had expressed the intent to cut down bureaucratic red tape with a machete and forge ahead with speed. Prime Minister, I am happy to tell you that in India, we are well on our way to doing just that. We have imparted our shared impatience to the implemntation of our earlier decisions. The results are already visible on the ground. Our discussions today were marked by convergence to accelerate our engagement and to scale up our partnership. We will pursue this in three ways: · First, we will strengthen the existing pillars of cooperation in areas that touch the lives of our peoples. These are agriculture, science and technology, and security. We exchanged views on scaling up the Centers of Excellence that have been a main-stay of agricultural cooperation by bringing in advanced Israeli practices and technology. In defence, I have invited Israeli companies to take advantage of the liberalized FDI regime to make more in India with our companies. · Second, we are venturing into less explored areas of cooperation, such as oil& gas, cyber security, films, and start-ups. You will find this reflected in the agreements that were just exchanged. Several of these areas are indicative of our desire to diversify and broad-base engagement. · And third, we are committed to facilitating the flow of people and ideas between our geographies. It requires policy facilitation, infrastructure and connectivity links and fostering constituencies of support beyond Government. We are working with Israel to make it easier for our people to work and visit each other’s countries, including for longer work durations To bring people closer on both sides, an Indian Cultural Center will soon open in Israel. We have also decided to start an annual exchange of bilateral visits by 100 young people from science-related educational streams. Friends, Thriving two-way trade and investment is an integral part of our vision for a strong partnership. Prime Minister Netanyahu and I agreed on the need to do more in this direction. After the meeting in Tel Aviv last year, we will interact for the second time with our CEOs under the bilateral Forum. I welcome the large business component that Prime Minister Netanyahu has brought along with him. Prime Minister Netanyahu and I also exchanged perspectives on the regional and global situation. We reviewed our cooperation as a factor for stability and peace in our regions and the world. Friends, Yesterday, as his first stop after touching Indian soil, Prime Minister Netanyahu joined me at the re-named Teen Murti Haifa Chowk to pay homage to the memory of the brave Indian soldiers who laid down their lives a century ago in the Battle of Haifa in Israel. We are both countries that have never forgotten our history and our heroes. And we deeply appreciate this gesture by Prime Minister Netanyahu. As we look to the future of this exciting partnership with Israel, I am filled with hope and optimism. In Prime Minister Netanyahu, I have a counter-part who is equally committed to taking the India-Israel relationship to soaring new heights. Finally, I am delighted to have the chance to be with you, Prime Minister , in my home state, Gujarat, day after.

Today appointment letters are being handed over to 3,000 youth at 20 different places in Jammu and Kashmir for government jobs. These youth are going to get opportunities to serve in various departments like PWD, Health, Food and Civil Supplies, Animal Husbandry, Jal Shakti, Education, Culture, etc. I congratulate all the youth who got appointment letters today. And I also congratulate Shri Manoj Sinha ji and his entire team for organizing this ‘Rozgar Mela’ (job fair). I have been told that preparations are in full swing to give more than 700 appointment letters to the youth in other departments as well in the next few days. I extend my best wishes in advance to the people who are going to get this benefit in a few days. Friends, This decade of the 21st century is the most important decade in the history of Jammu and Kashmir. Now is the time to leave old challenges behind and take full advantage of the new possibilities. I am happy that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir are coming forward in large numbers for the development of their region and for the development of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It is our youth who will write a new saga of development in Jammu and Kashmir. Therefore, today’s job fair has become very special. Friends, We have to work with a new approach and thinking for rapid development. Jammu and Kashmir is now pursuing development through transparent and sensitive governance. I have been told that about 30,000 people have been recruited in government posts here since 2019. Out of these, about 20,000 jobs have been given in the last one and a half years only. This is a welcome step. I extend my heartfelt thanks especially to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha ji and his entire team. The mantra of ‘Employment through competence’, which he has followed, is instilling new confidence in the youth of the region. Friends, The Central Government has taken several steps to promote employment and self-employment in the last eight years. The job fairs being organized in different parts of the country from October 22 onwards is a part of this initiative. Under this campaign, more than 10 lakh appointment letters will be issued by the central government in the first phase in the next few months. This number is going to increase further as more states become part of this campaign. We have also expanded the business environment in Jammu and Kashmir to increase employment. The government’s new industrial policy and Business Reforms Action Plan have also paved the way for Ease of Doing Business. As a result, investment here has got a tremendous boost. Increase in investment in Jammu and Kashmir is also helping create new employment opportunities for the youth. The pace at which development related projects are progressing will change the entire economy here. For example, we are working expeditiously towards train connectivity to Kashmir. International flights from Srinagar to Sharjah have already started. Aircraft have started taking off from Jammu and Kashmir even at night. Farmers here have also benefited a great deal from increasing connectivity. It is now easier for the apple growers of Jammu and Kashmir to sell their produce outside. The way the government is promoting transport through drones, the fruit producing farmers here are also going to benefit a lot. Friends, The tourism sector in Jammu and Kashmir has also got a boost due to the development of infrastructure and increasing connectivity. There has been a record increase in the number of tourists visiting Jammu and Kashmir this time. The way new employment and self-employment opportunities have opened up in the state today, no one could have imagined that a few years ago. It is our endeavor that the benefits of government schemes reach every section of the society without any discrimination. We are committed to provide equal benefits of development to all sections of the people. With this model of holistic development, other employment options are also getting ready along with government jobs. Efforts are underway to strengthen the health and education infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir. With the opening of two new AIIMS, seven new medical colleges, two state cancer institutes and 15 nursing colleges, more opportunities will be created for the talent here. Friends, The people of Jammu and Kashmir have always emphasized transparency and appreciated it. Our youth, sons and daughters, who are joining government services, have to make transparency their priority. I always felt the pain of the people of Jammu and Kashmir whenever I would meet them earlier. Their angst was against corruption in the systems. People of Jammu and Kashmir hate corruption and are fed up with it. I would also like to praise Manoj Sinha ji and his team for working hard to end the malaise of corruption. It is now the responsibility of the youth who are becoming a part of the government to give new energy to the efforts of transparency and honest governance by becoming true companions of Manoj Sinha ji. I am sure that the youth who have got the appointment letters today will discharge the new responsibility with complete devotion and dedication. Jammu and Kashmir is the pride of every Indian. Together we have to take Jammu and Kashmir to new heights. We also have a huge goal to make India developed by 2047. Therefore, we need to engage in nation building with strong determination to realize this goal. Once again, I convey my best wishes to the sons and daughters of Jammu and Kashmir for this new beginning and for their bright future.

During the programme, he launched the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme. He also dedicated and laid the foundation stone of various green energy projects of NTPC. He launched the National Solar rooftop portal. The Prime Minister interacted with the beneficiaries of various schemes. Shri Hansraj from Mandi informed the Prime Minister about his experience with the KUSUM scheme. The Prime Minister enquired how other farmers are getting interested in the scheme. Shri Hansraj also thanked the Prime Minister for the scheme and elaborated on how this scheme helped him and his family. Shri Kalaha Reang from Khowai, Tripura informed the Prime Minister about the changes brought about by the arrival of electricity in his village. He informed that after Solar Power, dependence on kerosene has reduced. The Prime Minister further asked about other changes brought in by the arrival of electricity. Shri Reang said that now they are able to charge the mobile phones for which they used to travel long distances. Solar power has improved the education of children, and local industries and evening life has undergone a change. The Prime Minister asked him to utilize educational tv channels run by the government on TV. The Prime Minister also asked him to save electricity. Shri Kagu Kranti Kumar of Visakhapatnam, a beneficiary of Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojna, also detailed the positive impact of electricity in his life. The Prime Minister said that the country will progress only when every citizen progresses and expressed satisfaction that facilities of electricity are reaching all the villages of the country. Smt Pramila Devi of Varanasi, a beneficiary of the Integrated Power Development Scheme was greeted by Har Har Mahadev by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister, a Member of Parliament from Varanasi, asked her to pay respect to Baba Vishwanath on his behalf. The Prime Minister also expressed happiness that overhead wires are gradually being phased out leading to better safety and aesthetic outcomes. Shri Dhiren Sureshbahi Patel from Ahmedabad talked about his experience installing solar panels. The Prime Minister said that by installing rooftop panels Dhirenbhai became an electricity seller. The Prime Minister said that in the last year many steps have been taken to ensure a confident position of the country in the energy sector by 2047. He said people’s participation has been the greatest strength in this regard. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said Energy and power sectors have a huge role to play in accelerating India’s progress in the next 25 years. The strength of the energy sector is also important for Ease of Doing Business and is equally important for Ease of Living. He said that the projects launched today are significant steps in the direction of green energy and energy security for the county. These projects will strengthen India’s renewable energy goals, commitment and aspirations of its green mobility, he said. The Prime Minister announced that work on two big green hydrogen projects in Ladakh and Gujarat is starting today. The plant being set up in Ladakh will produce green hydrogen for vehicles in the country. This will be the first project in the country which will make commercial use of green hydrogen-based transport possible. Ladakh very soon will be the first place in the country where fuel cell electric vehicles will start to ply. This will help in making Ladakh a carbon-neutral region, he said. The Prime Minister also informed that after blending ethanol in petrol and aviation fuel, now the country is moving towards blending green hydrogen in piped natural gas pipelines. Which will reduce import dependence on natural gas. Remembering the poor state of power scenario before 2014, The Prime Minister reminded that eight years ago, the Government took the initiative to transform every part of the country’s power sector. Four different directions were worked together to improve the power system – Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Connection. The Prime Minister informed that in the last 8 years, about 1,70,000 MW of electricity generation capacity has been added in the country. One Nation One Power Grid has become the strength of the country today. About 1,70,000 circuit kilometre transmission lines have been laid to connect the entire country. Furthermore, by giving 3 crore connections under the Saubhagya Scheme, we are also nearing the saturation goal, he added. The Prime Minister said ‘we had resolved to create 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by the completion of 75 years of independence. Today we have come close to this goal. So far, about 170 GW capacity has been installed from non-fossil sources. He added that today, India is in the top 4-5 countries of the world in terms of installed solar capacity. Many of the world’s largest solar power plants are in India today. The country has got two more big solar plants today. These plants built in Telangana and Kerala are the first and second largest floating solar plants in the country. The Prime Minister said that solar panels are being encouraged in households. The Prime Minister said that along with increasing the production of electricity, the emphasis of the government is also on saving electricity. “Saving electricity means enriching the future. PM Kusum Yojana is a great example of this. We are providing solar pump facility to farmers, helping to install solar panels on the side of the fields”, he said. The Prime Minister said that the UJALA scheme has also played a big role in reducing electricity consumption and bills in the country. Every year 50 thousand crore rupees are saved from the electricity bills of poor and middle-class households. The Prime Minister noted that with the passage of time, a serious disorder has come into our politics. In politics, people should have the courage, to tell the truth, but we see that some states try to avoid it. This strategy may sound like good politics in the short term. But it is like postponing today’s truth, today’s challenges, for tomorrow, for our children, and for our future generations. This thinking of avoiding solutions to today’s problems and leaving them for the future is not good for the country, he said. This thought process has pushed the power sector in many states into huge problems. The Prime Minister said losses in our distribution sector are in double digits. Whereas in the developed countries of the world it is in single digit. This means that we have a lot of wastage of electricity and therefore we have to generate more electricity than we need to meet the demand for electricity. He said there is a lack of investment in reducing distribution and transmission losses in many states. The Prime Minister remarked that people will be surprised to know that different states have outstanding dues of more than Rs 1 lakh crore. They have to give this money to power generation companies. Power distribution companies are owed more than 60 thousand crore rupees from many government departments, and local bodies. He said that these companies are not able to get even the money that has been committed for subsidy on electricity in different states on time and in full. This arrear is also more than Rs 75,000 crore. Those responsible for activities ranging from the generation of electricity to the door-to-door delivery, their about two and a half lakh crore rupees are trapped. The Prime Minister requested the states whose dues are pending, to clear them as soon as possible. Also, honestly consider the reasons that even when the countrymen pay their electricity bills honestly, why do some states have arrears again and again? He said this is not a matter of ‘Rajniti’ (politics) but pertains to ‘Rashtra Niti’ and nation building, he said He ended by reminding the stakeholders that the health of the electricity sector is everyone’s responsibility . Background Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the government has taken multiple path-breaking initiatives in the power sector. These reforms have transformed the sector, with the focus being on making affordable power available for all. Electrification of about 18,000 villages which did not have access to power earlier signified the commitment of the government towards ensuring last mile outreach. The Ministry of Power’s flagship Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme is aimed at improving the operational efficiencies and financial sustainability of the DISCOMs and Power Departments. With an outlay of over Rs. 3 lakh crore over a period of five years from FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26, the scheme aims to provide financial assistance to DISCOMs for modernization and strengthening of distribution infrastructure, focussing on the improvement of the reliability and quality of supply to end consumers. It also aims to reduce the AT&C (Aggregate Technical and Commercial) losses to pan-India levels of 12-15% and the ACS-ARR (Average Cost of Supply-Average Revenue Realized) gap to zero by 2024-25 by improving the operational efficiencies and financial sustainability of all state-sector DISCOMs and Power Departments. During the programme, the Prime Minister also dedicated and laid the foundation stone of various green energy projects of NTPC worth over Rs 5200 crore. He inaugurated the 100 MW Ramagundam Floating Solar Project in Telangana and the 92 MW Kayamkulam Floating Solar Project in Kerala. He laid the foundation stone of the 735 MW Nokh Solar Project in Rajasthan, Green Hydrogen Mobility Project in Leh and Kawas Green Hydrogen Blending with Natural Gas project in Gujarat. The Ramagundam project is India’s largest floating solar PV project with 4.5 lakh ‘Made in India’ solar PV modules. Kayamkulam project is the second largest floating solar PV project consisting of 3 lakh ‘Made in India’ solar PV panels floating on water. The 735 MW Solar PV Project at Nokh, in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan is India’s largest Domestic Content Requirement based Solar project with 1000 MWp at a single location, deploying high-wattage bifacial PV Modules with a tracker system. The Green Hydrogen Mobility Project at Leh, Ladakh is a pilot project and aims for five Fuel Cell Buses to be run in and around Leh. This pilot project would be the first deployment of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles for public use in India. The Green Hydrogen Blending Pilot Project at NTPC Kawas Township will be India’s first Green Hydrogen Blending Project helping in reducing the usage of natural gas. The Prime Minister also launched a national solar rooftop portal, which will enable online tracking of the process of installation of rooftop solar plants, starting from registering the applications to release of subsidies in residential consumers’ bank accounts after installation and inspection of the plant. ‘Ujjwal Bharat Ujjwal Bhavishya – Power @2047’ is taking place from 25th to 30th July, as part of the ongoing ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. Organised across the country, it showcases the transformation in the power sector achieved in the last eight years. It aims to empower citizens by improving their awareness and participation in various power-related initiatives, schemes and programmes of government.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে শক্তি খণ্ডৰ পুনৰ্নিৰ্মাণ বিতৰণ খণ্ড আঁচনি আৰম্ভ কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-the-mou-between-the-indian-council-of-medical-research-icmr-india-and-the-foundation-for-innovative-new-diagnostics-find-switzerland/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%8E%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0/,"The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, was apprised of a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), Switzerland to strengthen the relation within the framework of the international scientific and technological collaboration and to promote cooperation in fields of mutual interest.

Reflecting on the theme of the event this year – ‘Future India: Science and Technology’ – the Prime Minister said that India’s true strength will be in connecting its science, technology and innovation, with its people. He recalled the great Indian scientists of the past, including Acharyas J.C. Bose, C.V. Raman, Meghnad Saha, and S.N. Bose, and said that they served the people through “minimum resources” and “maximum struggle.” “The life and works of hundreds of Indian Scientists are a compelling testament of integration of deep fundamental insights with technology development and nation-building. It is through our modern temples of science that India is transforming its present and working to secure its future,” the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister recalled our former Prime Ministers Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri ji and Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji. He said that Shastri ji gave us the slogan: “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan,” while Atal ji added “Jai Vigyan” to it. He said that now the time has come to take a step further, by adding “Jai Anusandhan.” The Prime Minister emphasized that the pursuit of science is fulfilled through the achievement of two objectives: generation of profound or disruptive knowledge; and use of that knowledge for socio-economic good. As we boost our discovery science ecosystem, we must also focus on innovation and start-ups, the Prime Minister said. He said that the Government has launched the Atal Innovation Mission to promote innovation among our scientists. More Technology Business Incubators have been established in the last four years than in the forty years before that, he added. “Our Scientists must commit themselves to addressing problems of affordable healthcare, housing, clean air, water and energy, agricultural productivity and food processing. While Science is universal, technology must be local for providing solutions relevant to local needs and conditions,” the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said that big data analysis, artificial intelligence, block-chain etc should be utilised in the agricultural sector, especially to help the farmers with relatively small farm-holdings. He urged the scientists to work towards ease of living for the people. In this context, he mentioned issues such as drought management in low rainfall areas; early disaster warning systems; tackling malnutrition; tackling diseases among children such as encephalitis; clean energy; clean drinking water; and cyber security. He called for time-bound solutions through research, in these areas. The Prime Minister mentioned major achievements of Indian science in 2018, including: • production of aviation grade biofuel; • Divya Nayan – a machine for visually impaired; • inexpensive devices for diagnosis of cervical cancer, TB and dengue • a real-time landslide warning system in the Sikkim-Darjeeling region. He said that strong pathways to commercialization, are needed to leverage our Research & Development achievements, through industrial products. The Prime Minister called for research, which is a fusion of Arts and Humanities, Social Science, Science and Technology. Noting that our strengths in research and development are built on the backbone of our national laboratories, central universities, IITs, IISC, TIFR and IISERs, the Prime Minister said that a strong research ecosystem must be developed in the State Universities and Colleges, as well. He announced that the Union Government has approved a National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber Physical Systems with an investment of over Rs. 3600 crore. The Mission will cover in a seamless way, R&D, Technology Development, Human resources and Skills, Innovation, Start-up Ecosystem and strong Industry and International Collaborations, he added.

Prime Minister Kishida of Japan conveyed his greetings for the occasion and said that the growth of Maruti Suzuki over the course of 4 decades embodies robust economic ties between India and Japan. He lauded the management of Suzuki for recognizing the potential of the Indian market. “I consider that we owe this success to the understanding and support of the people and government of India. Recently, Indian economic growth has been further accelerating due to various assistance measures for the manufacturing sector guided by the strong leadership of Prime Minister Modi”, he said. He informed that many other Japanese companies have expressed their interest to invest in India. He also underlined the importance of this year as India and Japan mark 70 years of their relationship. “Together with Prime Minister Modi I am determined to undertake the efforts to further develop the ‘Japan-India Strategic and Global Partnership” and to realize a “Free and Open Indo Pacific”, he added.

The Prime Minister recalled the arrival of Suzuki in Gujarat 13 years ago and remembered Gujarat’s confidence to present itself as a good model of governance. “I am happy that Gujarat kept its promise with Suzuki and Suzuki too kept Gujarat’s wishes with the same dignity. Gujarat has emerged as a top automotive manufacturing hub in the world”, he said. Emphasising on the relationship that has existed between Gujarat and Japan, the Prime Minister said that it has been higher than diplomatic dimensions. “I remember when the Vibrant Gujarat Summit was started in 2009, since then Japan was associated with it as a partner country”, the Prime Minister said. He remembered his resolve to create a mini Japan in Gujarat to make Japanese investors at home in Gujarat. Many small measures were taken to realize this. The creation of many world-class golf courses and restaurants with Japanese cuisines and the promotion of Japanese language are some such examples. “Our efforts always carried seriousness and respect for Japan, that is why about 125 Japanese companies along with Suzuki are operational in Gujarat”, he added. JETRO run support centre in Ahmedabad is providing plug-and-play facilities to many companies. Japan India Institutes for Manufacturing are training many people. The Prime Minister noted the contribution of ‘Kaizen’ in the development journey of Gujarat. The Prime Minister said that facets of Kaizen were applied by him in PMO and other departments also.

A lot of policy decisions have also been taken to prepare a robust electric vehicle charging infrastructure. “A battery swapping policy has also been introduced in the 2022 Financial Budget”, the Prime Minister said. “It is a certainty that with the strengthening of supply, demand and ecosystem, the EV sector is going to progress”, he added. The Prime Minister remarked that India has announced in COP-26 that it will achieve 50% of its installed electrical capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030. “We have set a ‘Net Zero’ target for 2070”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister expressed happiness that Maruti Suzuki is also working on things like biofuel, ethanol blending and hybrid EVs. The Prime Minister also suggested that Suzuki start work on projects related to compressed biomethane gas. The Prime Minister also wished that a better environment be created for healthy competition and mutual learning. “It will benefit both the nation and the business”, he said. “It is our goal that India becomes Aatmnirbhar for its energy needs in the next 25 years of Amrit Kaal. As a major part of energy consumption is in the transport sector, innovation and efforts in this sector should be our priority. I am confident we will be able to achieve this”, he concluded.

He also informed about the novel programme ‘Guardian Yoga Ring’ which is a collaborative exercise between 79 countries and United Nations organisations along with Indian Missions abroad to illustrate Yoga’s unifying power that surpasses national boundaries. As the sun apparently moves from the east to the west across the world, the Mass Yoga Demonstrations in the participating countries, if seen from any one point on Earth, will seem to be happening one after the other, almost in tandem, thus underlining the concept of ‘One Sun, One earth’. “These practices of yoga are giving wonderful inspiration for health, balance and cooperation”, he added. Shri Modi pointed out that Yoga is not just part of life for us, today, it has become a way of life. He said Yoga need not be limited to a particular time and location. He said “no matter how stressful we are, a few minutes of meditation relaxes us and increases our productivity. Therefore, we do not have to take yoga as an extra work. We also have to know yoga and we also have to live yoga. We also have to achieve yoga, we also have to adopt yoga. When we start living yoga, Yoga Day will become a medium for us not to do yoga, but to celebrate our health, happiness and peace.” The Prime Minister said that today is the time to realize the infinite possibilities associated with yoga. Today our youth are coming in large numbers with new ideas in the field of yoga. He also informed about the Startup Yoga Challenge by the Ayush Ministry. The Prime Minister congratulated the winners of 2021 winners of ‘Prime Minister’s Awards for outstanding contribution for Promotion and Development of Yoga’. Integrating the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav with celebrations of 8th IDY, Mass Yoga demonstrations are being organised at 75 iconic locations across the country under the leadership of 75 Union Ministers, along with the Yoga Demonstration by the Prime Minister at Mysore. The Yoga demonstrations are also being held by various educational, social, political, cultural, religious, corporate and other civil society organisations and will be attended by crores of people across the country. The Prime Minister’s Yoga programme at Mysuru is also part of the novel programme ‘Guardian Yoga Ring’ which is a collaborative exercise between 79 countries and United Nations organisations along with Indian Missions abroad to illustrate Yoga’s unifying power that surpasses National boundaries. Since 2015, the International Day of Yoga (IDY) has been celebrated worldwide on 21st June every year. The theme for this year’s Yoga day is “Yoga for Humanity”. The theme portrays how Yoga served humanity in alleviating suffering during Covid Pandemic.",৮ম আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় যোগ দিৱস উপলক্ষে মহীশূৰ পেলেচ গ্ৰাউণ্ডত গণ যোগ প্ৰদৰ্শনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ অংশগ্ৰহ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-meeting-with-mr-masayoshi-son-board-director-and-founder-softbank-corporation/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%AB%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%B0/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi met Mr. Masayoshi Son, Board Director and Founder, Softbank Corporation on 23 May 2022 in Tokyo.

The Ministry of Finance, RBI and other financial institutions have done a very commendable job during this challenging period of Corona. This period of Amrit Mahotsav and this important decade of the 21st century is of great importance for the development of the country. Therefore, the RBI has a very big and important role to play. I am confident that Team RBI will live up to the expectations of the country. Friends, For the past 6-7 years, the Central Government has been prioritizing the interests of the common man. RBI, as a regulator, maintains constant communication with other financial institutions. I am glad that RBI has also taken several steps to improve the convenience of the common man. Today another step has been added to that. The two schemes that have been launched today will expand the scope of investment in the country and make access to capital markets easier and more secure for investors. Small investors of the country have got a simple and safe medium of investment in government securities through the retail direct scheme. Similarly, One Nation, One Ombudsman System has taken shape in the banking sector with the Integrated Ombudsman Scheme today. It will help in resolution of every complaint and problem of the bank customers on time and without any hassle. My opinion is that the biggest strength of democracy is how strong, sensitive and proactive the grievance redressal system is. This is the biggest test of democracy. Friends, The Retail Direct Scheme is going to give new heights to the spirit of promoting everyone’s participation in the economy. People are generally aware of the important role of the Government Securities Market in the development of the country. At a time when the country is busy modernizing its physical and digital infrastructure through unprecedented investments, the efforts, cooperation and participation of even the smallest of investors will be of great help. Till now, our middle class, employees, small traders, senior citizens i.e. those who have small savings had to take indirect avenues like banks, insurance or mutual funds to invest in the government securities. Now they are getting another great option of safe investment. Now a very large section of the country will be able to invest in government securities and directly in the creation of the wealth of the country easily. You also know that all government securities in India have a provision for guaranteed settlement. In this case, small investors get an assurance of safety. Small investors will get the assurance of good returns on safe investment and the government will get necessary resources for the development of infrastructure and other arrangements for a new India according to the aspirations of common human beings of the country. This is the collective power and effort of the citizens and the government to build a self-reliant India. Friends, Generally, the issues of finance become a bit technical and the common man leaves after reading the headline. I think that this is the need of the hour to explain these things to the common man in a better way. When we talk about financial inclusion, we want to make the last person of this country also to be a part of this process. You experts are well aware of all these things, but it will help the common people of the country a lot if they are also informed. Like, they should know that there will be no need for fund managers under this scheme and “Retail Direct Gilt (RDG) Account” can be opened by themselves. This account can be opened online and people can also trade securities online. This is a great option for safe investment for the salaried people or pensioners while sitting at home. There is no need to go anywhere. You will be able to do the trading through your mobile phones with internet connectivity. This RDG account will also be linked to the savings accounts of the investor, so that the sale and purchase will be possible automatically. You can imagine the convenience it will result in for people. Friends, Financial Inclusion and Ease of Access are as important as the trust and convenience of the general public in the ease of investment and the banking system. A strong banking system is very important for a strong economy. Everyone is aware of the damages caused to the country’s banking system in the years before 2014. What was the situation then? In the last seven years, NPAs were recognized with transparency, focus was on resolution and recovery, public sector banks were re-capitalized and multiple reforms were undertaken in the financial system and public sector banks. The willful defaulters, who used to take advantage of the system earlier, will no longer be able to raise funds from the market now. A new faith and energy is returning to the banking sector with the steps that have been taken, whether it is improvement in the governance of public sector banks, decision making, freedom related to transfers and postings, creation of big banks by merging smaller banks or setting up of the National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited. Friends, Cooperative banks were also brought under the purview of RBI to further strengthen the banking sector. It has not only led to improvement in the governance of these banks but the trust of the millions of depositors is also getting stronger in the system. In the recent past, many decisions have been taken keeping in view the interests of the depositors. The One Nation, One Ombudsman System has strengthened the commitment of the depositors and investors. The scheme, which has been launched today, will provide direct relief to the holders of 44 crore loan accounts and 220 crore deposit accounts in banks, NBFCs and pre-paid instruments. Now there will be a single platform for all the entities regulated by the RBI to register, track and monitor the grievances of the account holders. In other words, the account holder has now got another easy option for grievance redressal. For example, earlier if someone had a bank account in Lucknow and he was working in Delhi, he could complain only to the Ombudsman of Lucknow. But now he has got the facility to register his complaint from anywhere in India. I am also told that the RBI has made provision for extensive use of Artificial Intelligence in this scheme to address cases related to online and cyber frauds. This will ensure better coordination between the banks and the investigating agencies in the shortest possible time. The sooner the action is taken, the higher the chances of recovery of the fraudulent amount. With such steps, the scope of digital penetration and customer inclusiveness will also increase and so will the trust of the customer. Friends, In the past few years, we have seen strength in the banking and financial sectors of the country, from inclusion to technological integration and other reforms, even in the difficult time of Covid. It also ensures satisfaction of serving the common man. The decisions of the RBI have also helped a lot in expanding the impact of the big ticket decisions of the government. I congratulate the RBI Governor and his entire team publicly for the courageous decisions they have taken during this crisis. Under the credit guarantee scheme announced by the government, loans worth more than Rs 2.90 lakh crore have been sanctioned. It has helped more than 1.25 crore beneficiaries, largely MSMEs and our middle class small entrepreneurs, to further strengthen their enterprises. Friends, A special campaign was launched by the government to give Kisan Credit Cards to small farmers during the Covid period itself. Under it, more than 2.5 crore farmers also got KCC cards and they also got agriculture loans of about 2.75 lakh crores. About 26 lakh street vendors, who sell wares in handcarts and vegetables, have got loans under the PM SVANidhi scheme. You can imagine the substantial support it has been for the 26 lakh street vendors to get financial help during the crisis period of Covid. This scheme has also linked them to the banking system. Many such interventions have played a very important role in restarting economic activities in villages and cities. Friends, Till six-seven years ago, banking, pension, insurance, etc used to be like an exclusive club in India. All these facilities were far away for the common citizens, poor families, farmers, small traders and businessmen, women, Dalits-deprived-backwards. The people who had the responsibility of providing these facilities to the poor also never paid any attention to it. Rather, there was an established tradition that there should not be any change and various arguments and pretexts were put forward while shutting the doors for the poor. They had no shame in saying that there was no bank branch, no staff, no internet and no awareness among people. What kinds of arguments were being given? Due to unproductive savings and informal lending, the situation of the common citizen was also getting worse and his participation in the development of the country was also negligible. Pension and insurance were believed to be only for the prosperous families. But now the situation is changing. Today, not only the financial inclusion, the ease of access is becoming the identity of India in the banking and financial sector. Today, every person of the society can join the pension scheme after 60 years of age. About 38 crore countrymen have the insurance cover of Rs 2 lakh each under the PM Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and the PM Suraksha Bima Yojana. Almost every village in the country has the facility of a bank branch or a banking correspondent within a radius of 5 km. Today there are about 8.5 lakh banking touch points across the country, which are increasing the accessibility of every citizen to the banking system. Under the Jan Dhan Yojana, more than 42 crore zero balance bank accounts were opened, in which thousands of crores of rupees are deposited today. A new generation of traders and businessmen from among the women, Dalit-backward-tribals has emerged due to the Mudra scheme and the street vendors have also been able to join institutional lending through the SVANidhi scheme. Friends, The extension of digital empowerment with last-mile financial inclusion has given a new strength to the people of the country. More than 31 crore RuPay cards and about 50 lakh PoS / m-PoS machines have made digital transactions possible in every nook and corner of the country. UPI has made India the world’s leading country in terms of digital transactions in a very short span of time. In just 7 years, India has jumped 19 times in terms of digital transactions. Today, our banking system is operational 24 hours, 7 days and 12 months anytime, anywhere in the country. We have also seen its benefits during the Corona period. Friends, It is a great strength of the country when the RBI is a sensitive regulator and keeps itself prepared for the changing circumstances. Nowadays you are witnessing how our Indian start-ups are becoming global champions in Fintech. Technology is changing rapidly in this field. The youth of our country have made India a global power house of innovations. In such a situation, it is necessary that our regulating systems remain alert to these changes and create a suitable and empowering ecosystem to keep our financial systems world class. Friends, We have to keep the needs of the citizens of the country at the center and continuously strengthen the trust of the investors. I am confident that RBI will continue to strengthen India’s new identity as a sensitive and investor friendly destination. Once again, I wish all the very best to all the stakeholders for the initiatives and technological innovations for these massive reforms.

As far as I know Venkaiah ji, I don’t think farewell is possible. Even after the 11th, you might get a call for some work, or for some information, or just to enquire about any important development in your life. That is, in a way, he is always active in every moment. He is present amidst everyone in every moment and this has been his greatest virtue. Looking back at his life, I want to talk about the period when I used to work for the party organization and Atalji’s government was formed. The council of ministers was being formed. As I was handling organizational matters, naturally the interaction between me and Venkaiah ji was a bit more. It was also assumed that a senior leader like Venkaiah ji from the South would definitely become a minister. He told me that although it was the prerogative of the Prime Minister as to who would become a minister and the kind of work and department that each minister would get, he didn’t want any glamorous department. He said that if the Prime Minister did not mind, then he would like to work for rural development. Rural development was on his mind. That is, this passion is a huge thing in itself. Atalji had other tasks in mind for Venkaiah ji, but since Venkaiah ji had this on his mind, Atalji had taken the needful decision and Venkaiah ji had performed the task very well. Now there is one more thing to his credit. Venkaiah ji is perhaps someone who has not only looked after the Ministry of Rural Development, but also the Ministry of Urban Development. That is, in a way, he showed his mastery in both the major aspects of development. He was perhaps the first Vice-President, the first Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, who was a member of the Rajya Sabha. Very few people have this fortune. Perhaps Venkaiah ji is the only person to have got this. Now someone who has been in the Rajya Sabha for a long time and has looked after the work of parliamentary affairs, means he knows everything that happens in the House, the ‘behind the scenes’, things that different parties do and the possible actions from the Treasury Benches. He had a very good idea of all these things and that is why as a Chairman he knew both the sides very well. On one hand, this experience was useful to the Treasury Bench while on the other hand would also cause trouble for the friends from the opposition. But he thought of the ways to make the House more efficient and to get the best out of the House for the nation. He ensured that Parliamentary committees were more productive and outcome-oriented for value addition. Venkaiah ji is probably the first Chairman to have cared so much about the functioning of Parliamentary Committees. He had made constant efforts to improve it by expressing his pleasure and displeasure regarding them. I hope that today as we applaud the work of Venkaiah ji, we should also resolve to fulfill the expectations that he had as a Chairman from us as Members of Parliament. If we follow his advice in our lives, I believe it will be a great service. Venkaiah ji used most of his time travelling a lot. He would personally visit different places. That was his life during the last five decades. But during the corona period, one day we were just sitting casually and chatting. I asked, due to this corona pandemic and lockdown, who is going to face trouble the most? Everyone was baffled with my question. I asked again, who will suffer the most? No one answered. So I said, “in this situation, the person to suffer the most is Venkaiah Naidu ji”. It is because he has always been into some activity or work. Sitting in one place was a great punishment for him. But he is an innovative person. He made creative use of this corona period. He used to ” Tele-Travel”. I do not know whether this terminology is right or not. He used to sit with his telephone diary in the morning and would call 30, 40 or 50 people daily; the people he came across in the last 50 years while travelling around the country, the people in his public life or political life. He would enquire about their well-being, seek information, ask them about their problems related to corona and would help them if possible. He had utilized the time so well. When he called the ordinary workers in those remote areas, it filled them with a lot of enthusiasm. Moreover, there might not be a single MP who wouldn’t have received a call from Venkaiah ji during the Corona period. He enquired about their well-being and was concerned about their vaccination status. That is, like the head of the family, he took care of everyone. That was his effort. Venkaiah ji has another virtue. I keep saying that he can never be away from us. So, I am giving an example of the same. Once he had to visit Bihar for an election campaign. Suddenly his helicopter had to make an emergency landing in the fields. Now that area has some security issues too. But a farmer nearby had come and helped him and took him on his motorcycle to the nearest police station. Now looking at his public life in India, Venkaiah ji is a very big personality but even today he has a close relationship with that farmer family. That is, he received help from someone during a crisis in a remote village of Bihar. But even today, Venkaiah ji would talk about that farmer with great pride. This is Venkaiah ji’s one of the greatest virtues. And that’s why I am saying that he will always be with us as an active colleague, as a guide. His experience will be useful to us. With such a pool of experience, now Venkaiah ji will be moving towards a new responsibility in the society. Yes, this morning he told me that when he had assumed this post, the reason for his pain was that he would have to resign from his party; the party for which he had spent his entire life. It had some constitutional obligation. But I think Venkaiah ji will definitely make up for the shortfall of those five years. Surely his work of motivating, encouraging, nurturing all those old friends will continue. Venkaiah ji’s life is a great asset and a huge legacy for us. Let us pass on whatever we have learnt from him. There will be more efforts to take forward his attempts to establish the mother tongue and his love for language. If you are interested, then I would like to talk about “Bhashini”. It is a website launched by the Government of India. “Bhashini” has all the facilities to interpret and translate our Indian languages as well as to develop it further. It is a great tool which can be of immense use to us. But I have something in my mind. I would like Speaker sir and Harivansh ji to see if we can work in this direction. Harivansh ji has knowledge of this field. So, definitely work can be done in this direction. The world has a tradition of adding new words to the dictionary. And such words are also officially announced. It has a great significance whenever a particular word from a particular language of a country gets a place in the English dictionary. It is a matter of immense pride. For example, the word ‘Guru’ has become a part of the English dictionary. There are many such words. During the speeches delivered in the mother tongue, in both the Houses, various wonderful words come out of the people. And for the people who know that language, that particular word seems very apt and interesting. Can both our Houses undertake the task of compiling such new words every year?

Young friends from all over the country are coming here for studies” Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission. He also inaugurated various development projects worth around Rs 5200 crore for Varanasi. Governor and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Union Ministers, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Dr Mahendra Nath Pandey, State Ministers and people’s representatives were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said the country has achieved a major milestone of 100 crore vaccine doses in its fight against the corona epidemic. “With the blessings of Baba Vishwanath, with the unwavering glory of Maa Ganga, with the unshakable faith of the people of Kashi, the campaign of free vaccine for all is progressing successfully”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister lamented that in post-independent India, health infrastructure did not get the required attention for a very long time and citizens had to run from pillar to post for proper treatment, leading to worsening of the condition and financial strain. This led to a persistent worry about medical treatment in the hearts of the middle class and poor people. Those whose governments remained in the country for a long time, instead of the all-around development of the country’s healthcare system, kept it deprived of facilities. The Prime Minister said that PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission aims to tackle this deficiency. The aim is to strengthen the critical healthcare network from village to block to the district to the regional and national level in the next 4-5 years. Describing the initiative taken by the government under the new Mission, the Prime Minister said that there are 3 major aspects of the Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission to address the different gaps in the health sector of the country. The first is related to the creation of elaborate facilities for diagnostics and treatment. Under this, Health and Wellness Centers are being opened in villages and cities, where there will be facilities for early detection of diseases. Facilities like free medical consultation, free tests, free medicine will be available in these centres. For serious illness, 35 thousand new critical care-related beds are being added in 600 districts and referral facilities will be given in 125 districts. The second aspect of the scheme, the Prime Minister said, is related to the testing network for the diagnosis of diseases. Under this mission, the necessary infrastructure will be developed for the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. 730 districts of the country will get Integrated Public Health labs and 3 thousand blocks will get Block Public Health Units. Apart from that, 5 Regional National Centers for Disease Control, 20 Metropolitan units, and 15 BSL labs will further strengthen this network, said the Prime Minister. The Third aspect, according to the Prime Minister, is the expansion of existing research institutions that study pandemics. Existing 80 Viral Diagnostic and research labs will be strengthened, 15 Biosafety level 15 labs will be operationalized, 4 new National institutes of Virology and a National Institute for One Health are being established. WHO regional research platform for South Asia will also strengthen this network. “This means, through PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission an entire ecosystem for services from treatment to critical research will be created in every corner of the country”, said the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister highlighted the employment potential of these measures and said that PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, along with health, is also a medium of aatmnirbharta. “It is a part of the effort to achieve holistic health care. Which means healthcare that is affordable and accessible to all.” Shri Modi said that holistic healthcare focuses on wellness along with health. Schemes like Swachh Bharat Mission, Jal Jeevan Mission, Ujjwala, Poshan Abhiyan, Mission Indradhanush have saved crores of people from disease. More than 2 crore poor people got free treatment under Ayushman Bharat Yojna and Many health related issues are being solved through Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister remarked that today there is a government at the Center and in the state which understands the pain of the poor, downtrodden, oppressed, backward and middle class. “We are working day and night to improve health facilities in the country”, said the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said the speed with which new medical colleges are being opened in Uttar Pradesh will have a great impact on the number of medical seats and doctors in the state. Due to more seats, now the children of poor parents will also be able to dream of becoming a doctor and fulfil it, he added. Speaking about the past plight of the holy city of Kashi, the Prime Minister said that people were almost resigned to the pathetic state of affairs of the city’s infrastructure. Things changed and today the heart of Kashi is the same, the mind is the same, but sincere efforts are being made to improve the body. “The work done in Varanasi in the last 7 years was not done in the last several decades”, he said. The Prime Minister singled out the progress of BHU towards global excellence as one of the key achievements of Kashi over the past years. “Today, from technology to health, unprecedented facilities are being created in BHU. Young friends from all over the country are coming here for studies”, he pointed out. Praising the 60 per cent growth in production and 90 per cent growth in sales of Khadi and other cottage industry products in the last 5 years in Varanasi, the Prime Minister once again exhorted the countrymen to promote local products and get ‘vocal for local’. He said that local doesn’t mean just a few products like diyas but any product that is the result of the hard work of countrymen needs the promotion and patronage of all the countrymen during the festival period.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী আয়ুষ্মান ভাৰত স্বাস্থ্য আন্তঃগাঁথনি অভিযান আৰম্ভ কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-unveils-state-of-art-sardar-vallabh-bhai-patel-institute-of-medical-sciences-in-ahmedabad/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%B0/,"Government stands for the poor; focus is on expansion of health care facilities Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the state of art, super-speciality public hospital – Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in Ahmedabad today. Built by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, the 78 meter high, 1500 bed hospital is equipped with all modern amenities, including an air ambulance. PM inspected the facilities at the hospital. He lauded the efforts of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation for setting up a world class hospital and said, “Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in Ahmedabad hospital will prove to be a model for other government hospitals in the country.” Built at a cost of Rs. 750 crore, the 17 floor hospital would provide world class services at an affordable price and is linked with Ayushman Bharat. Addressing a gathering on this occasion, Mr. Modi emphasized the importance of Ayushman Bharat saying, “It is because of Ayushaman Bharat there is an increasing need for new hospitals in even smaller towns. New hospitals are opening faster, the demand for doctors and paramedic staff is increasing, thereby creating many employment opportunities are coming up for the youth in the healthcare sector”. Prime Minister said the country has seen a major expansion in healthcare facilities and medical education over the past four years which will be of great help in meeting the health care needs of the citizens. The concern for the poor and the need to address them came to the fore as PM said,” The Government stands with the poor and its priority for them is reflected in expansion of health care services and provision of generic drugs at low prices under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Yojana. Around 5000 Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Kendras have been set up across the country.” The Prime Minister said that his Government is committed towards the equality of opportunity for all and 10% reservation for general category poor is a step in this direction. For this purpose, number of seats in educational institutions is being increased by 10%. He lauded Gujarat Government for being the first state to implement the decision to provide 10% reservation for the general category poor in government jobs and educational institutions. In a lighter vein, the Prime Minister said, it is his first visit to Gujarat in the New Year, at a time when festival season is around and what better time would it have been to dedicate a big health care facility for the people of Ahmedabad. He added that very few municipal corporations in the country have come forward with such a world class healthcare facility. PM lauded Sardar Patel’s role as a Mayor of Ahmedabad who led by example with his drive for health, hygiene and cleanliness in the city. The Prime Minister summed up his address at the event with his remarks that in keeping up with its commitment towards equal opportunity for all and for the development – Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas is the way forward for New India.",আহমেদাবাদত অত্যাধূনিক চৰ্দাৰ বল্লভভাই পেটেল চিকিৎসা বিজ্ঞান প্ৰতিষ্ঠান উদ্বোধন কৰি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে ক’লে চৰকাৰে দুখীয়াসকলৰ কাষত থকাৰ লগতে চিকিৎসা সেৱাৰ সুবিধা বৃদ্ধিত গুৰুত্ব আৰোপ কৰিছে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-passing-away-of-shri-manohar-parrikar/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has condoled the passing away of the Chief Minister of Goa, Shri Manohar Parrikar.

Bharat Mata ki—Jai! Bharat Mata ki—Jai! How are you, the people of Una? How are you doing? Hope you are doing fine. I greet the land of Maa Chintpurni and the descendants of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Friends, Remembering Guru Nanak and the other Gurus and bowing at the feet of Maa Chintpurni, I am very happy today to present gifts worth thousands of crores of rupees to Himachal before Dhanteras and Deepawali. Diwali has come ahead of its time in Una, Himachal. Such a large number of our mothers and sisters in the form of goddesses have come to bless us. Your blessing is a huge responsibility and strength for all of us. Brothers and sisters, I have spent so much time here that whenever I come to Una, the past memories flash before my eyes. I have had the privilege of bowing my head before Maa Chintpurni Devi and getting her blessings several times. Who can forget the taste of sugarcane and ‘Gandyali’ here? Friends, While living in Himachal, I always thought that nature has blessed this Devbhoomi so much. There is so much here — rivers, waterfalls, fertile land, fields, mountains and tourism — but who would often regret some of the challenges here. I always thought that Himachal would be transformed the day when there would be better connectivity, industries would be set up and the children of Himachal would not have to leave their parents, friends and villages to go out of the state for their studies. And see, today I have come with gifts for connectivity, educational institutions and industrialization. Today, the country’s second bulk drug park has opened at Una. Friends, can there be any bigger gift? If Himachal, beset with so many problems and full of natural diversity, gets one of the three bulk drug parks being built in India. Could there be a bigger decision than this? This is the result of my love and dedication for Himachal, brothers. Sometime back, I have had the privilege of flagging off India’s fourth Vande Bharat train from Amb-Andaura to Delhi. Imagine my brothers! Himachal got the fourth Vande Bharat train ahead of several big cities in India. I know friends, there are many families across India who wish to go to the airport to see airplanes, forget about travelling in them. But if you ask about the people living in the hills of Himachal, there are people for several generations who have not seen a train or travelled in the train. Such conditions have existed here even after 75 years of independence. Forget about any ordinary train, today the most modern train of India came to Himachal and chugged off from here, friends. The permanent building of Himachal’s own IIIT has also been inaugurated today. These projects are a glimpse of the height at which the double engine government wants to see Himachal. These projects are especially going to give new wings to the dreams of the new generations of Himachal. Many congratulations to Una and to Himachal Pradesh for these projects. Friends, We all know that there is a difference between needs and hopes and aspirations. The earlier governments in Himachal and Delhi were indifferent in fulfilling your needs and they never cared about your hopes and aspirations. Himachal, its young generations and mothers and sisters here have suffered a lot. But now the time has changed. Our government is not only fulfilling the needs of the people, but is working with full force to realize their hopes and aspirations. I remember the condition of Himachal as there was hardly any development work when I used to live here. There was disbelief all around, mountains of despair and doubts for the way forward. There was a huge gap in the way of the expectations of development. They never cared to fill these holes of development needs and abandoned them. Not only did we fill those holes, we are now firmly constructing new buildings in Himachal. Friends, There are so many countries of the world, including many states like Gujarat in India, which have provided facilities like rural roads, clean drinking water, toilets, modern hospitals, etc to their citizens in the last century itself. But there were some governments in India which made it difficult for common man to access these facilities. Our hilly areas have suffered a lot because of this. During my stay here, I have seen closely how our pregnant mothers and sisters faced so much difficulty in going to the hospital in the absence of roads and many elders dying even before they could reach the hospital. Brothers and sisters, The people living in the hills know that they are cut off from the rest of the world due to lack of rail connectivity. The outsiders can never imagine the challenges of availability of drinking water and tap water in a region which has abundant springs and flowing rivers. The people who governed the state here for years were hardly bothered about the problems of the people of Himachal. Now today’s new India is working rapidly on all these old challenges. The facilities which should have reached the people in the last century itself are now reaching the people. But should we put a stop now? Tell me, friends. Should we be pleased just because so much has been done? Do we need to move forward or not? Do we need to grow fast or not? Who will do these things, brothers? You and I will do it together, brothers. We will provide the facilities of the 20th century and will also connect Himachal with the novelty of the 21st century. Therefore, unprecedented development works are underway in Himachal today. Today, while rural roads are being constructed at double the speed in Himachal, on the other hand, broadband connectivity is also being provided to the Gram Panchayats at a faster rate. Today, while thousands of toilets are being built in Himachal, on the other hand, the electricity situation is being improved in every village. Today, on the one hand, drones are being used in Himachal to transport essential goods to the inaccessible areas, on the other hand, high speed trains like Vande Bharat from here to Delhi are also being run. Today, on the one hand, a campaign is going on in Himachal to supply tap water, and on the other hand, all the services of the government are being delivered in villages through the Common Service Centers. We are not only fulfilling the needs of the people of the 20th century, but we are also delivering the modern facilities of the 21st century to the doorsteps of Himachal. Friends, Today, the foundation stone of a huge bulk drug park has been laid here in Haroli. As Jai Ram ji was telling a few days ago, work has also started on the Medical Device Park in Nalagarh-Baddi. Both these projects are going to illuminate the name of Himachal in the country as well as across the world. At present, the double engine government is investing about Rs 2,000 crore on this bulk drug park. In a small state like Himachal, 2,000 crore rupees for a project! More than 10,000 crore rupees are going to be invested in this field only in the near future. The investments worth thousands of crores of rupees will transform Una and Himachal. This will create thousands of employment and self-employment opportunities. Friends, The whole world has seen the power of medicines made in Himachal during the Corona period. The role of Himachal is going to increase further in making India the top in pharmaceutical production in the world. So far, we had to depend on foreign countries for most of the raw materials needed for medicines. When raw materials will be made in Himachal itself, medicines will be made in Himachal itself, then the pharmaceutical industry will also flourish and medicines will also become more affordable. Today, our government is working to relieve the concerns of the poor by providing free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh under the Ayushman Bharat scheme and through Jan Aushadhi Kendras. This bulk drug park will further strengthen the campaign to provide affordable and better treatment to the poor and middle class families. Friends, The people of Himachal are aware that unless there is good connectivity, the pace of development cannot accelerate whether it is in the field of agriculture or industry. An example of how the earlier governments used to work is our Nangal Dam Talwara railway line. Forty years ago, the government in Delhi put a stamp of approval on a small railway line, made a file, got it signed and garnered votes in its name by fooling people. It has been more than 40 years and not a single bit of work has been done on the project. It remained incomplete for so many years. Now the work of this railway line is progressing at a faster rate after the formation of our government at the Center. Imagine, had this work been completed earlier, the people of Una would also have benefited. Friends, The double engine government is working relentlessly to expand and modernize the railway services in Himachal. Today work is progressing on three new rail projects in Himachal. Today, when the country is being connected with Made in India Vande Bharat trains, Himachal is also one of the leading states in the country in getting it. It will be easier to visit holy places like Naina Devi, Chintpurni, Jwala Devi, Kangra Devi, Shakti Peethas as well as Anandpur Sahib because of this Vande Bharat Express train. This is a double gift for a holy city like Una where descendants of Guru Nanak Dev Ji live. This Vande Bharat train will further enhance the service that our government has done by opening the Kartarpur Corridor. Vande Bharat Express was already there for the ‘darshan’ of Maa Vaishno Devi, now the Shakti Peethas here are also being connected with this modern service. People working in other cities will also benefit from Vande Bharat Express. Friends, It has always been the dream of the youth of Himachal to get higher education institutions in their state for their studies. Even this aspiration of yours has been ignored in the past. We are changing the practices of the past. Floundering, suspending, straying and forgetting is not our way of working. We decide, resolve, fulfill and also show results. After all, what was the reason that the youth of Himachal were kept deprived of prestigious institutions of higher education for a long time? Why did the youth here have to go to neighboring states to study medicine, engineering, business management and even pharmacy? Friends, The earlier governments did not pay attention to all these things because they used to judge Himachal not by its potential but on the number of seats it represented in parliament. Therefore, Himachal had to wait for the double engine government for IIT, IIIT, IIM and AIIMS. Students will find it more convenient with the construction of the permanent building of IIIT in Una. The sons and daughters of Himachal graduating from these institutions will also strengthen the digital revolution in the state. I remember you gave me the opportunity to lay the foundation stone of this IIIT building. I laid the foundation stone and today you have given me an opportunity for its inauguration as well. This is what transformation is all about. We lay the foundation stones (of projects) and also inaugurate the same, brothers. And this is how the double engine government works. Whatever resolution our government takes, it fulfills it also. I would also like to congratulate all the colleagues for completing the construction of the IIIT at a fast pace despite the constraints of Covid. Friends, It is our biggest priority today to hone the skills and potential of the youth. Therefore, institutions related to innovation and skills are being expanded all over the country. This is just the beginning for Himachal. The youth of Himachal have created new dimensions in the security of the country while being in the army. Now different types of skills will help them reach higher positions in the army as well. The double engine government is always with you for a developed Himachal. Friends, When the dreams are big and the resolutions are huge, it requires efforts of the same magnitude. Today this effort is visible everywhere in the double engine government. Therefore, I know that the people of Himachal have also decided to change the old custom. Have you decided or not? Now the double engine government will create a new history and the people of Himachal will create a new custom. I believe that the golden period of Himachal’s development is about to begin in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. This golden period will take Himachal to that height of development for which you have waited for decades. I once again congratulate you very much for all these projects. I wish you all the best. And I wish you all the very best for all the forthcoming important festivals. Bharat Mata ki—Jai! Bharat Mata ki—Jai! Bharat Mata ki—Jai!

The Prime Minister acknowledged the commendable work carried out in the state regarding cleanliness campaigns for the past 5 years and remarked that it is the people of Tripura who have turned it into a public movement. As a result, Tripura has come out as the cleanest state in India when it comes to small states area-wise. “With the blessing of Maa Tripura Sundari, the development journey of Tripura is witnessing new heights”, he said. The Prime Minister congratulated the people of Tripura for today’s projects which are related to connectivity, skill development and schemes related to the household of the poor. “Tripura is getting its first dental college today”, the Prime Minister remarked as he said that the youth of Tripura will now have the opportunity to become doctors without having to leave the state. He further informed that today, more than 2 lakh poor people from the state are performing Grih Pravesh in their new pucca homes where the owners of the houses are our mothers and sisters. The Prime Minister took the opportunity to congratulate the women from these households who will become homeowners for the first ever. “Tripura is one of the leading states when it comes to building houses for the poor”, the Prime Minister informed as he praised the work done by Shri Manik Saha ji and his team. He also remarked on the warm reception that he received from thousands of supporters while he was on the way to the venue. Recalling the meeting of the North Eastern Council that the Prime Minister attended earlier in the day, he gave insights on the discussions of the road map of development of the future for all Northeastern states including Tripura. He informed about the ‘Asht Aadhar’ or eight key points for the development of ‘Asht Lakshmi’ or the eight Northeastern states. Highlighting the double-engine government of Tripura, the Prime Minister said that constant efforts are being made to pace up development initiatives in the state. The Prime Minister pointed out that before the double-engine government, the Northeastern states were talked about only during the times of election and acts of violence. “Today, Tripura is being discussed for cleanliness, infrastructural development and providing houses to the poor”, he remarked. He further added that the Central Government is spending thousands of crores of rupees for infrastructure development and the state government is making it possible by showing the results on the ground. “In the last 5 years, many villages of Tripura got road connectivity and fast-paced work is already underway to connect all villages of Tripura by roads”, he said. The Prime Minister added that the projects whose foundation stones are laid today will further strengthen the road network of the state, ease the traffic in the capital and make life easier. “The Northeast region via Tripura is becoming a gateway for international trade”, the Prime Minister remarked as he informed about the new avenues that will open up with the Agartala-Akhaura railway line and the India-Thailand-Myanmar highway infrastructure. He further added that connectivity has got a boost with the construction of the international terminal at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala. As a result, Tripura is developing as an important logistics hub of the Northeast. The Prime Minister credited the efforts of the government to make internet connectivity available in Tripura which is extremely useful for the youth of today. “It is due to the efforts of the double-engine government of Tripura that many panchayats are now connected with optical fiber”, he added. Throwing light on the efforts of the double-engine government to strengthen social infrastructure, the Prime Minister gave the example of Ayushman Bharat Scheme under which seven thousand plus health and wellness centres have been approved in the villages of the Northeast. “Around a thousand such centres are being set up right here in Tripura. Similarly, under the Ayushman Bharat-PM Jay scheme, thousands of poor people of Tripura have got the facility of free treatment up to Rs.5 lakh”, he continued. “Be it toilets, electricity or gas connections, such extensive work has been carried out for the first time”, Shri Modi said. He further added that the double-engine government is working at a fast pace to bring piped gas at cheaper prices and deliver piped water to every household. The Prime Minister informed that 4 lakh new families of Tripura have been connected with piped water facilities in just 3 years. The Prime Minister touched upon the Pradhan Mantri Matri Vandana Yojana which has benefitted more than 1 lakh pregnant mothers of Tripura, under which thousands of rupees have been directly deposited in the bank account of every mother for nutritious food. He further added that as a result, more and more deliveries are taking place in hospitals today and saving the lives of both mother and child. Throwing light on Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) for our mothers and sisters, the Prime Minister informed that the government has released a special package of hundreds of crores for the employment of women. He also praised the efforts of the state government and said, “The number of women self-help groups in Tripura has increased 9 times after the double engine government.” “For decades, Tripura has been ruled by parties whose ideology has lost importance and who practice politics of opportunism”, the Prime Minister remarked as he lamented how Tripura had been deprived of development. He further added that it was the poor, the youth, the farmers and the women who were most affected by this. “This type of ideology, this type of mentality cannot benefit the public. They only know how to spread negativity and do not have any positive agenda”, he said. He further added that it is the double-engine government which has the resolve as well as a positive path for achievement. Reflecting on the great harm caused to our tribal societies due to the politics of power, the Prime Minister lamented the lack of development in the tribal society and tribal areas. “BJP has changed these politics and that is why it has become the first choice of tribal society”, the Prime Minister said as he recalled the recent Gujarat elections and credited the contributions of the tribal society towards BJP’s massive victory even after 27 years. “The BJP has won 24 of the 27 seats reserved for tribals”, he added. The Prime Minister highlighted the development works carried out for the betterment of tribal communities and recalled that it was Atal ji’s government that first arranged for a separate ministry and separate budget for the tribals. “The budget for the tribal community which was 21 thousand crore rupees, is 88 thousand crore rupees today”, he remarked. The Prime Minister informed that the scholarship of tribal students has also been more than doubled. “Before 2014 there were less than 100 Eklavya Model Schools in tribal areas whereas today this number is reaching more than 500. More than 20 such schools have been approved for Tripura as well”, the Prime Minister informed. He also drew everyone’s attention to the fact that earlier governments used to give MSP only on 8-10 forest products whereas the BJP government is giving MSP on 90 forest produce. “Today, there are more than 50,000 Van Dhan Kendras in tribal areas which are providing employment to about 9 lakh tribals, most of whom are women”, he added. The Prime Minister also pointed out that it is the BJP government which understood what pride means for the tribals, and hence, started celebrating the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda on November 15 as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas across the country. The Prime Minister informed that 10 Tribal Freedom Fighter Museums are being set up across the country and in Tripura, President Draupadi Murmu ji recently laid the foundation stone of Maharaja Birendra Kishore Manikya Museum and Cultural Centre. He further added that the Tripura government is also making constant efforts to promote tribal contribution and culture and highlighted the privilege of awarding Padma Samman to the personalities who have taken forward the tribal art and culture of Tripura. The Prime Minister reiterated the endeavour of the double-engine government to create better opportunities for small farmers and entrepreneurs of Tripura. “Efforts are being made to make the local here global”, Shri Modi highlighted as he gave the example of the pineapple from Tripura reaching abroad. “Not only this, hundreds of metric tonnes of other fruits and vegetables have also been exported from here to Bangladesh, Germany and Dubai and as a result, the farmers are getting higher prices for their produce. He further added that lakhs of farmers from Tripura have received more than Rs 500 crore so far from PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. He also highlighted the Agar-wood industry in Tripura and said that it will become a source of new opportunities and income for the youth of Tripura. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister stated that Tripura is now on the path of peace and development with the advent of the double engine of development in the state. “I have full faith in the capability of the people of Tripura. We will speed up the pace of development, with this belief, many congratulations to all of you”, Shri Modi concluded. Chief Minister of Tripura, Prof (Dr) Manik Saha, Governor of Tripura, Shri Satyadeo Narain Arya, Deputy Chief Minister of Tripura, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma and Union Minister of State Kum. Pratima Bhoumik were those present on occasion among others. Background A significant focus of the Prime Minister has been towards ensuring that everyone has a house of their own. In a key step towards ensuring the same in the region, the Prime Minister launched the Grih Pravesh programme for beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Rural. These houses, developed at a cost of over Rs 3400 crores, will cover over 2 lakh beneficiaries. With a focus on improving road connectivity, the Prime Minister inaugurated the project for widening the Agartala bypass (Khayerpur – Amtali) NH-08, which will help ease traffic congestion in Agartala city. He laid the foundation stones for 32 roads of more than 230 Km in length under PMGSY III (Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana) and for the improvement of 112 roads covering a distance of over 540 Km. The Prime Minister also inaugurated the State Institute of Hotel Management at Anandnagar and Agartala Government Dental College.","প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে ত্ৰিপুৰাৰ আগৰতলাত ৪৩৫০ কোটি টকাৰ বিভিন্ন গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰে, উদ্বোধন কৰে আৰু দেশবাসীলৈ উৎসৰ্গা কৰ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-tributes-to-freedom-fighters-lokmanya-tilak-and-chandra-shekhar-azad-on-their-birth-anniversary/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has paid tributes to freedom fighters, Lokmanya Tilak and Chandra Shekhar Azad on their birth anniversary.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Greetings on the occasion of International Yoga Day! This morning, I was delighted to join thousands of people from different walks of life, to celebrate this occasion, in the beautiful city of Dehradun, in the foot-hills of the Himalayas. For the last few days, I have been seeing pictures of people participating in the celebrations, across the world. Indeed, in just three years, this event has grown into a world-wide public movement. It has become an integral part of public life in many countries. Its impact has expanded far beyond its day of observance. In India, I perceive three different themes in the observation of International Day of Yoga. I am sure, this is the case in many other countries as well. First, it has become an occasion of initiation for millions. Inspired by the spirit of Yoga, they commit themselves to its pursuit. Second, it is an occasion when those, who are already introduced to Yoga, re-dedicate themselves to its pursuit. The third theme is to spread the good word. Thousands of individuals and institutions, who have already gained from Yoga, reach out to those that still have not. In the process, International Day of Yoga, has even come to be celebrated as a festival, by many across the world. The word Yoga, means ‘to unite’. Therefore, this surge of interest in Yoga, fills me with hope. I hope that Yoga can become a binding force for the world. I am happy that you have chosen the International Day of Yoga, for the inauguration of this Nature Cure Centre. I hope that this Centre shall strive to strongly integrate elements of Yoga, in all its programmes and initiatives. Friends, Traditional Indian knowledge systems, such as Yoga and Ayurveda, help us stay healthy. They guide us to overcome inherent weaknesses of both body and mind. These are systems, which treat individuals with care and respect. Their approach is neither intrusive nor abrupt. It often comes as a refreshing change to those used to conventional treatment therapies. Modern lifestyle takes a toll on the body as well as the mind. The focus of conventional systems of healthcare, unfortunately, is more on cure, rather than on prevention. There is no denying that we need conventional medicine to address the huge health challenges of today. But it is also a fact that there are gap areas that remain un-addressed. Healthcare specialists all over the world now appreciate the fact that systems like Yoga and Ayurveda can complement the conventional medicine system extremely well. These holistic systems focus on wellness and disease prevention. Adoption of these holistic practices leads to increased health and wellness in individuals and in communities. Contrary to the perception of some people, Yoga is not limited to exercises and postures . It involves a deep search into mind, body and spirit. It leads to a greater understanding of one-self. This leads further to social discipline, and in turn to ethics and enduring values of life. Yoga is a deep philosophy that can help us to walk on the path of salvation or freedom from worries. Friends, I have always believed that Yoga has no religion. It contains practical steps which can benefit everyone, even those who do not consider themselves religious. Modern Yoga practices often include various elements of ancient wisdom. These include moral and ethical principles, postures designed to keep the body fit, spiritual philosophy, instruction by a guru, chanting of mantras, quieting the breath and stilling the mind through meditation. Yoga focuses on changing the lifestyle of the individual, so that lifestyle related disorders are easily prevented and managed. Experts of Yoga see its daily practice as beneficial in itself, leading to improved health, emotional well-being, mental clarity and joy in living. The belief that certain yogic postures and Pranayama help to control many diseases has been widely held in India for centuries. Now, modern science has stepped in to generate supporting evidence for this. Science has also demonstrated that through Yoga, it is possible to exercise control over the functions of many organs in the body including heart, brain, and endocrine glands. Today, interest in Yoga is growing rapidly in Western countries. It would be no exaggeration to say that Yoga has been appreciated a lot by the Western world. I am told that in USA alone, more than 20 million people are practicing Yoga and that this number is increasing at an average of five percent every year. Several modern medical institutes of USA and Europe have adopted Yoga as an alternative or adjunct treatment for many disorders. Of late, a lot of research has been undertaken in Yoga. The Government of India is committed to implement evidence based traditional systems of healthcare in public health. Our National Health Policy, announced last year, strongly focuses on the prevention of diseases. We have also launched nation-wide programmes for the prevention and control of non communicable diseases. India is a big country with the world’s second largest population. The initiatives taken today may take some years to show results, but I am confident that tangible results will soon become visible. In conclusion, I would like to say again that your Nature Cure Facility will work to bring the benefit of Yoga, to all those who come there to seek comfort and relief.I am happy to note that the path-ways to wellness projected by your Centre aim to address the personal concerns of the individuals. It is also significant that their objective is life-long wellness. I assume that respect for authenticity and faith in scientific approach are inherent to these objectives. With such an approach, the Centre can contribute significantly to the wellness movement, and take the benefits of Yoga to a large number of people in the USA. It also gives me happiness to learn that your Centre will create five hundred direct and fifteen hundred indirect jobs in the area. It will thus be a responsible member of the community. I wish you all the very best for this venture. Thank you. Thank you very much.",মার্কিন যুক্তৰাষ্ট্রৰ নিউইয়র্কত ভিডিঅ’ কনফাৰেন্সিংযোগে প্রাকৃতিক আৰোগ্য কেন্দ্রৰ উদ্বোধন উপলক্ষে প্রধানমন্ত্রীৰ ভাষণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/remarks-by-pm-at-the-joint-press-meet-with-the-pm-of-nepal/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8-2/,"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba Ji, Distinguished Delegates, Media colleagues, Namaskar! It gives me great pleasure to welcome Prime Minister Deuba ji to India. Today, on the auspicious occasion of Indian New Year and Navratri, Deuba ji has arrived. I wish him and all the citizens of India and Nepal, a very Happy Navratri. Deuba ji is an old friend of India. This is his fifth visit to India as Prime Minister. Deuba ji has played an important role in the development of India-Nepal relations. Friends, The friendship of India and Nepal, the relationships of our people, such an example is not seen anywhere else in the world. Our civilization, our culture, the threads of our exchanges; are connected since ancient times. We have been companions of each other’s happiness and sorrows since time immemorial. The basis of our partnership is the mutual relations between our people and the exchanges between them. These give energy to our relations, maintain them. In the context of Nepal, the policies of India and its efforts are inspired by this spirit only. India has been a firm partner in the journey of peace, progress and development of Nepal and will always remain so. Friends, Today, Deuba ji and I had a fruitful conversation on all these topics and many other important issues. We discussed different aspects of our cooperation, reviewed progress of various projects and also discussed the roadmap for future. We both agreed that we must take full advantage of opportunities for cooperation in the power sector. Our Joint Vision Statement on Power Corporation will prove to be a blueprint for future collaboration. We emphasized the importance of progressing at a fast pace in Pancheshwar Project. This project will prove to be a game changer for the development of the region. We also agreed on the subject of more participation by Indian companies in Nepal’s hydro power development plans. It is a matter of happiness that Nepal is exporting its surplus power to India. It will contribute well to the economic progress of Nepal. I am glad to inform that many more proposals to import power from Nepal are also being approved. I am happy that Nepal has become a member of the International Solar Alliance. This will promote sustainable, affordable and clean energy in our region. Friends, Prime Minister Deuba ji and I have also agreed to give priority to the initiatives on trade and cross border connectivity in all respects. The introduction of Jayanagar-Kurtha rail line is a part of this. Such schemes will make great contribution to smooth, hassle-free exchange between the people of the two countries. Introduction of Rupay Card in Nepal will add a new chapter to our financial connectivity. Other projects like Nepal Police Academy, Integrated Check Post at Nepalganj and Ramayana Circuit etc. will also bring the two countries closer. Friends, We also discussed today the issue of Open borders of India and Nepal being misused by unwanted elements. We also stressed on maintaining close cooperation between our defense and security institutions. I am sure that our talks today will prove to be effective in setting ambitious goals for the future of India-Nepal relations. Deubaji , You will be in Kashi tomorrow. Nepal and Banaras have centuries-old relationship. I am sure that you will definitely be impressed to see the new look of Kashi. Once again, I welcome you and your delegation to India. Many Many Thanks!",নেপালৰ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সৈতে যুটীয়া সংবাদ মেলত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ বক্তব্ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-speech-at-disbursement-of-instalment-of-financial-benefit-under-pm-kisan-samman-nidhi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A3-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%85-2/,"Namaskar ji, For the past several days, I have been discussing different schemes of the government with the beneficiaries, because this is a better way to know how the benefits of the government schemes are reaching the people. This is the advantage of the direct connection with the people. All my colleagues from the Union Cabinet present in this program, respected Chief Ministers, Lieutenant Governors and Deputy Chief Ministers from many states, Ministers of State Governments, other dignitaries, farmers and brothers and sisters from across the country, Today, an amount of more than 19,500 crore rupees has been transferred to the bank accounts of about 10 crore farmers of the country. I can see that many of you are checking in your mobile phones whether the amount has reached and giving high five to each other. In this rainy season when sowing is in full swing, this amount will be very useful to small farmers. Today the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund worth one lakh crore rupees has also completed one year. Thousands of farmer organizations are benefiting from this fund. Brothers and sisters, The Government is fully committed to encourage new crops and provide additional income to the farmers. Mission Honey Bee is one such campaign. Due to Mission Honey Bee, we exported honey worth about Rs 700 crore last year, which has ensured additional income to the farmers. The saffron of Jammu-Kashmir is world famous anyway. Now the Government has decided that saffron of Jammu- Kashmir will be available at NAFED shops across the country. This will give a lot of impetus to the cultivation of saffron in Jammu-Kashmir. Brothers and sisters, This exchange with you is happening at a time when we are celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom. August 15 is approaching a few days from now. This time the country is going to celebrate its 75th Independence Day. This is not only a matter of pride for us; it is also a great opportunity for new resolutions and goals. On this occasion, we have to decide where we want to see India in the next 25 years. Our agriculture, our villages and our farmers have an important role in determining what will be the state of affairs of India when it completes 100 years of independence in 2047. There is a need to give direction to India’s agriculture, which can face new challenges and take full advantage of new opportunities. Brothers and sisters, All of us are witness to the rapid changes taking place in this era, whether it is changes related to weather and nature, changes related to eating habits, or changes happening all over the world due to pandemics. We have also experienced this during the corona pandemic in the last one-and-a-half years. During this period, there has been a lot of awareness about the food habits in the country itself. The demand for coarse cereals, vegetables, fruits, spices and organic products is increasing rapidly. Therefore, Indian agriculture also has to transform according to these changing needs and demands. And I have always believed that the farmers of our country will definitely assimilate these changes. Friends, We have seen the potential of the farmers of India even during this pandemic. In the midst of record production, the government has also tried to mitigate the problems of the farmers. The government has made every effort and taken measures for agriculture and every sector related to it, from seeds and fertilizers, to taking the produce of the farmers to the markets and ensuring uninterrupted supply of urea. Our government did not let the burden of DAP, whose prices in the international market increased manifold due to corona, to fall on the farmers. The government immediately arranged Rs 12,000 crore in this regard. Friends, The government has made the biggest ever purchase from farmers at MSP, whether it was the Kharif or Rabi season. It resulted in the direct transfer of about 1.70 lakh crore rupees to the accounts of paddy farmers and about 85,000 crore rupees to the accounts of wheat farmers. Today India’s granaries are brimming because of this partnership between the farmers and the government. But friends, we have seen that self-sufficiency is not enough only in wheat, rice and sugar, we need to be self-sufficient in pulses and edible oil also. And the farmers of India have the capability to do it. I remember I had urged the farmers of the country to increase the production of pulses when there was a shortage of pulses a few years back. The farmers of the country accepted my request. As a result, the production of pulses in the country has increased by almost 50 percent in the last six years. What we did in pulses, or in the past with wheat and paddy, now we have to take the same resolution for the production of edible oil also. We have to work quickly to make our country self-sufficient in edible oil. Brothers and sisters, With the National Edible Oil Mission-Oil Palm, the country has taken a pledge for self-reliance in edible oil. When India is commemorating the Quit India Movement today, this resolve inspires us with new energy on this historic day. More than 11,000 crore rupees will be invested in the cooking oil ecosystem through this mission. The government will ensure that the farmers get all the facilities, from quality seeds to technology. Under this mission, the cultivation of our other traditional oilseed crops will also be expanded along with promoting the cultivation of palm oil. Friends, For the first time, India has reached among the top-10 countries of the world in terms of agricultural exports. The country has set new records of agricultural exports during the corona period itself. When India is being recognized as a major agricultural exporting country, it is not befitting of us to depend on imports for our edible oil needs. In this too, the share of imported palm oil is more than 55 percent. We need to change this situation. The farmers of the country should get thousands of crores that we spend to buy edible oil from abroad. There is huge potential for the cultivation of palm-oil in India. It can be promoted in the North East and Andaman-Nicobar Islands. These are the regions where palm cultivation can be done easily and palm oil can be produced. Friends, This mission of self-sufficiency in edible oil has many advantages. This will not only benefit the farmers, poor and middle class families will also get cheaper and good quality oil. Moreover, this mission will create employment on a large scale and give a boost to the food processing industry, especially fresh fruit bunch processing industries. The youth will get jobs from transport to food processing units in the states where palm-oil will be cultivated. Brothers and sisters, Small farmers of the country will get huge benefits from palm-oil cultivation. The production per hectare of palm-oil is much higher than other oilseed crops. Small farmers can earn big profits as it requires a very small piece of land. Friends, You know very well that more than 80 percent of the farmers of the country have land up to 2 hectares only. These small farmers have a big role to play in enriching the country’s agriculture in the next 25 years. Therefore, these small farmers are now being given top priority in the agricultural policies of the country. With this spirit, a serious effort has been made in the last few years to provide facilities and security to small farmers. Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, Rs 1.60 lakh crores have been given to the farmers. Out of this, about one lakh crore rupees have reached the small farmers only in the challenging period of Corona. Moreover, more than two crore Kisan Credit Cards have been issued during the Corona period, mostly to small farmers. Farmers have also taken loans worth thousands of crores rupees with these cards. Imagine the plight of small farmers had they not got this help during the biggest disaster of 100 years. They would be forced to wander for small needs. Brothers and sisters, Today the small farmers are reaping the major benefits from the agricultural or connectivity infrastructure that is being built, or the big food parks that are being set up. Today special Kisan Rails are running in the country. As a result, thousands of farmers have sold their produce at a higher cost in the big mandis of the country due to savings in transportation cost. Similarly, modern storage facilities are being created for small farmers under the Special Infrastructure Fund. More than 6,500 projects have been approved in the last year. Among those who have got these projects are farmers, farmers’ societies and farmer producer associations, self-help groups and start-ups. Recently, the government has decided that the states in which we have government mandis can also get help from this fund. Our government mandis will be better, more robust and modern by utilizing this fund. Brothers and sisters, The endeavor is to empower small farmers, either through the infrastructure fund or through formation of 10,000 farmer producer unions, so that they have greater access to the markets and better bargain options. When hundreds of small farmers will integrate through FPOs, through the cooperative system, their strength will multiply hundred times. This will reduce the dependence of farmers on others, whether it is food processing or exports. They themselves will be free to sell their products directly in the foreign market.

Joining us today in this important programme related to national defense is the Defense Minister of the country Shri Rajnath Singh ji, the Defense Minister of the state Shri Ajay Bhatt ji, all the officers of the Ministry of Defense, and all the friends from across the country! Just two days ago, in the midst of this holy festival of Navratri, on the day of Ashtami, I had got the opportunity to launch the programme called ‘Gati Shakti’ with an extremely comprehensive planning and on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami today we are celebrating those who are spending day and night to make the nation invincible and to empower the nation with this opportunity to walk in a new direction to modernize further. Following the great tradition of India, this programme has been started with weapon worship. We believe in power as a means of creation. With this spirit, today the country is increasing its potential and all of you are the charioteer of the country’s resolves. I once again extend my warm greetings to all of you and to the entire nation on the occasion of Vijaya Dashami. Friends, This day also marks the birth anniversary of former President, Bharat Ratna, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam ji. The way Kalam sahib had dedicated his life to building a powerful India, is an inspiration for all of us. The 7 new companies that are going to enter the defense sector today will further strengthen his resolve of an able nation. Friends, This year India has entered its 75th year of independence. In this period of ‘Amritkal’ of independence, the country is taking up new resolutions to build a new future. And the work which was stuck for decades, is also being completed. The decision to revamp 41 Ordnance Factories and the launch of 7 new companies are a part of this journey of the country’s accomplishment of resolutions. This decision was pending for the last 15-20 years. I am confident that all these seven companies will become a strong foundation for India’s military strength in the times to come. Friends, Our ordnance factories were once among the most powerful institutions in the world. These factories have more than 100-150 years of experience. The world has seen the strength of India’s Ordnance Factories at the time of World War I. We used to have better resources and world class skills. After independence, we needed to upgrade these factories and adopt new age technology! But it was not given much attention. Over time, India became dependent on foreign countries for its strategic needs. These new 7 defense companies will play a major role in changing this situation. Friends, Under the Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign, the country aims to make India the world’s biggest military power on its own as well as to develop the modern military industry in India. In the last seven years, the country has worked to take this resolve forward with the mantra of ‘Make in India’. Today, there is more transparency, trust, and a technology driven approach in the defense sector of the country than ever before. For the first time since independence, several major reforms have been brought in our defense sector; and instead of the policies that were notorious for creating bottle-necks, a single window system has been created. This has boosted the confidence of our industry. The Indian companies have also started exploring possibilities for themselves in the defense industry, and now the private sector and the government together, are moving ahead with the mission of defense of the nation. We have the examples of Defense Corridors of UP and Tamil Nadu before us. In such a short span of time, major companies have shown their interest in ‘Make in India’. This is also creating new opportunities for the youth in the country and opening up new possibilities for several MSMEs in the form of supply chains. As a result of the policy changes made in the country, our defense exports have increased by more than 325 percent in the last 5 years. Friends, Some time back, the Ministry of Defense had released a list of more than 100 such tactical equipment which will no longer be imported from outside. For these new companies too, the country has already placed orders worth Rs 65 thousand crores. This shows the country’s faith in our defense industry. There seems to be a growing confidence. One company will meet the requirements of ammunition and explosives, while the other company will manufacture army vehicles. Similarly, be it advanced weapons and equipment, troops comfort items, optical electronics, or parachutes – our aim is to make every Indian company not only an expert in these areas, but also to turn them into a global brand. Competitive cost is our strength. So, quality and reliability should be our identity. Friends, I am sure that with this new arrangement, the talented people that we have in our ordnance factories, who want to innovate, will get complete freedom to showcase their talent. When such experts get an opportunity to innovate, when they get an opportunity to showcase their talent, they do wonders. The products that you will create with your expertise will not only increase the strength and capabilities of India’s defense sector, but will also remove the gap that had been created after independence. Friends, In the 21st century, be it a country or a company, its growth and brand value is determined by its research and innovation capabilities. For example, India’s growth and new identity created by sectors ranging from software to the space sector. Therefore, I also make a special request to all the seven companies to ensure that research and innovation are a part of your work culture. These should get priority. You not only have to be at par with the world’s biggest companies, but must also take the lead in future technology. Therefore, it is crucial that you have a fresh approach, think of new ideas, give maximum opportunities to research oriented youth and give them full freedom to think & innovate. I would also like to tell the startups of the country to be a part of this new beginning that has been brought about through these 7 companies. Try to think of ways in which your research and products can mutually benefit each other and increase one another’s capabilities in conjunction with these companies. Friends, Besides giving a better production environment to all the companies, the government has also given full functional autonomy. Moreover, it has also been ensured that the interests of the workers of these factories are fully protected. I am sure that your expertise will greatly benefit the country, and together we will fulfill our resolve of a self-reliant India. With the same spirit, once again I wish you all a very Happy Vijayadashami.

The Prime Minister was felicitated upon his arrival. This was followed by Stuti Gaan of Shri Mahakaal by renowned singer Shri Kailash Kher and a light, sound and fragrance show. The Prime Minister began his address by hailing Lord Mahakal and said, “ Jai Mahakaal! This energy of Ujjain, this enthusiasm! This aura of Avantika, this wonderfulness, this bliss! This glory of Mahakal, this greatness! There is nothing worldly in ‘Mahakaal Lok’. There is nothing ordinary in the company of Shankar. Everything is supernatural and extraordinary. It is unforgettable and unbelievable.” The Prime Minister said that if one receives the blessings of Mahakaal, then the existence of Kaal (time) ceases, the boundaries of time dissolve, and the journey from nothingness to infinity begins. The Prime Minister said that Ujjain has not only been the centre of India according to astrological calculation but it has been the centre of India’s soul too. Ujjain is a city that is counted among the seven sacred puris and a place where Lord Krishna himself came for education. Ujjain has seen the splendour of King Vikramaditya and the beginning of India’s golden age. The Prime Minister remarked that Ujjain has gathered history in itself. “Every particle of Ujjain is engulfed in spirituality, and it transmits ethereal energy in every nook and corner.” The Prime Minister continued, “Ujjain has led India’s wealth and prosperity, knowledge and dignity, civilization and literature for thousands of years.” The Prime Minister explained, “In order to reach the pinnacle of success, it is necessary that the nation touches its cultural heights and stands proudly with its identity.” Continuing with the importance of cultural confidence, the Prime Minister said ”the cultural splendour of a nation is so vast only when the flag of its success is fluttering on the world stage. And, to reach the pinnacle of success, it is also necessary that the nation touches its cultural excellence, and stands proudly with its identity.” “That is why in the Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal, India has called for Panch Prans like “freedom from the mentality of slavery” and “pride in our heritage”, he added. For the same purpose, development work on the grand Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is going at a rapid pace. “Vishwanath Dham in Kashi is adding pride to the cultural capital of India. Development works are setting new records in Somnath. With the blessings of Baba Kedar in Uttarakhand, new chapters of development are being written in the Kedarnath-Badrinath pilgrimage area. For the first time after independence, our four Dhams are going to connect with All Weather Roads through the Chardham Project”, the Prime Minister said. “The pride of many such centres of our spiritual consciousness is being restored across the country with the help of Swadesh Darshan and Prasad Yojana. And now in this series, this grand ‘Mahakaal Lok’ is also ready to welcome the future with the glory of the past”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister explained his concept of the importance of Jyotirlingas. He said “I believe, this development of our Jyotirlingas is the development of India’s spiritual light, the development of India’s knowledge and philosophy. This cultural philosophy of India is once again reaching the summit and getting ready to guide the world.” The Prime Minister explained that Lord Mahakal is the only Jyotirlinga which is facing south and these are such forms of Shiva, whose Bhasma Aarti is famous all over the world. “Every devotee definitely wants to see Bhasma Aarti in his life. I also see the vitality and vibrancy of our India in this tradition”, Shri Modi added. Talking about Lord Shiva, the Prime Minister said “Soyam Bhootim Vibhushanah”, that is, the one who wears the ashes is also ‘sarvadhimpah always’. He is also eternal and indestructible. Therefore, where there is a Mahakal, there are no boundaries of periods. “In the refuge of Mahakal, there is vibration even in poison. In the presence of Mahakal, there is a revival even from the end”, he added. Further elaborating on the role of the spiritual in the nation’s life, Shri Modi said “It is the spiritual confidence of our civilization, due to which India has remained immortal for thousands of years. As long as these centres of our faith are awakened, the consciousness of India is awakened, and the soul of India is awakened. Recalling history, the Prime Minister talked about invaders like Iltutmish who made efforts to destroy the energy of Ujjain. Shri Modi also recalled the efforts that have been made to exploit India in the past. Shri Modi said quoting our sages and rishis,” What will death do to us in the shelter of Mahakal Shiva? He continued, “India was revived, then rose again from the energy of these authentic centres of faith. Today once again, in the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, Amar Avantika is proclaiming the cultural immortality of India.”. Throwing light on what religion means to India, the Prime Minister underlined that it is a collective determination of our duties. “The goal of our resolutions is the welfare of the world, and service to mankind.” Shri Modi reiterated that we worship Lord Shiva, and bow to the Vishwapati who is engaged in the welfare of the whole world in many ways. “This has always been the spirit of the pilgrimages, temples, monasteries and faith centres of India”, he added. “How many inspirations can come out here for the good of the world, for the benefit of the world?”, Shri Modi exclaimed. Talking about spirituality and education, the Prime Minister pointed out that spiritual centres like Kashi have been the capital of knowledge, philosophy and art along with religion, and places like Ujjain have been the centres of research related to astronomy. The Prime Minister further explained that the New India of today is moving forward with its ancient values while also reviving the tradition of science and research along with faith. “Today we are standing equal to the big powers of the world in the field of astronomy.” Throwing light on India’s space missions like Chandrayaan and Gaganyaan the Prime Minister remarked that today India is also launching satellites of other countries into space. “India is ready to take that leap in the sky”, Shri Modi added, “In the field of defence, India is moving towards self-reliance with full force. From sports to startups the youth of India are showcasing their talent on the world stage.” The Prime Minister said, “Where there is innovation, there will be renovation.” Remarking on the losses incurred during the years of slavery, the Prime Minister said that” India is reclaiming its glory by renovating the places of its pride, honour and legacy.” He further added that the entire country as well as humanity will reap its benefits. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister said, “With the blessings of Mahakal, the grandeur of India will create new possibilities of development in the world and the divinity of India will pave the way for a peaceful world.” Earlier today, the Prime Minister dedicated Phase I of the Mahakal Lok Project to the nation at Shri Mahakal Lok in Ujjain.Governor of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Mangubhai Patel, Governor of Chhattisgarh, Shri Anusuiya Uikey, Governor of Jharkhand, Shri Ramesh Bains, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Union Ministers Narendra Singh Tomar, Dr.Virendra Kumar, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia and Shri G Kishan Reddy, Union Ministers of State, Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste and Shri Prahlad Patel were those present on the occasion among others.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে মহাকাল লোক প্ৰকল্পৰ প্ৰথম পৰ্যায় দেশবাসীলৈ উৎসৰ্গা কৰাৰ পিছত মধ্যপ্ৰদেশৰ উজ্জয়িনীত ৰাজহুৱা অনুষ্ঠানত ভাষণ প্ৰদান কৰে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-apprised-of-an-mou-between-india-and-guyana-on-cooperation-in-renewable-energy/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%80/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been apprised of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation in Renewable Energy between India and Guyana.

The policy provides for utilisation of such land for the purpose of development and setting up of infrastructure relating to coal and energy. The CBA Act provides for acquisition of coal bearing lands and their vesting in Government company, free from any encumbrance. The approved policy provides clear policy framework for utilisation of following types of lands acquired under the CBA Act: a. Lands no longer suitable or economically viable for coal mining activities; or b. Lands from which coal has been mined out / de-coaled and such land has been reclaimed. The Government coal companies, such as Coal India Ltd. (CIL) and its subsidiaries shall remain owner of these lands acquired under the CBA Act and the policy allows only leasing of the land for the specified purposes given in the policy. Government coal companies can deploy private capital in joint projects for coal and energy related infrastructure development activities. The Government company which owns the land would lease such land for specific period given under the policy and the entities for leasing shall be selected through a transparent, fair and competitive bid process and mechanism in order to achieve optimal value. The lands will be considered for the following activities: i. to set up Coal Washeries; ii. to set up Conveyor Systems; iii. to establish Coal Handling Plants; iv. to construct Railway Sidings; v. Rehabilitation and Resettlement of Project Affected Families due to acquisition of land under the CBA Act or other land acquisition law; vi. to set up thermal and renewal power projects; vii. to set up or provide for coal development related infrastructure including compensatory afforestation; viii. to provide Right of Way; ix. Coal gasification and coal to chemical plants; and x. to set up or provide for energy related infrastructure. The lands which are mined out or are practically unsuitable for coal mining are prone to unauthorised encroachment and entail avoidable expenditure on security and maintenance. Under the approved policy, establishment of various coal and energy related infrastructure, without transfer of ownership from Government companies, would lead to generation of a large number of direct and indirect employment. This unlocking of non-minable land for other purposes will also help CIL in reducing its cost of operations as it will be able to set up coal related infrastructure and other projects such as solar plant on its own land by adopting different business models in partnership with private sector. It will make coal gasification projects viable as coal need not be transported to distant places. The proposal to utilise land for rehabilitation purpose would ensure proper utilization of land and would eliminate wastage of all-important land resource, avoid acquisition of fresh chunk of land for rehabilitation of Project Affected Families, eliminate loading of additional financial burden on the projects and increase profit. It will also address the demand of the displaced families as they always prefer to stay as close as possible to their original residential places. It will help in obtaining local support for coal projects and also providing land to the State Government for afforestation in lieu of forest land diverted to coal mining. The Policy will help in realizing the goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat by encouraging domestic manufacturing, reducing import dependence, job creation, etc. The policy will unlock land for various coal and energy infrastructure development activities that would encourage investment in backward areas of the country. Utilisation of already acquired land would also prevent fresh acquisition of land and related displacement and would promote local manufacturing and industries.","কয়লা খনি এলেকা (অধিগ্রহণ আৰু উন্নয়ন) আইন, ১৯৫৭ৰ অধীনত অধিগ্রহণ কৰা ভূমি ব্যৱহাৰৰ নীতিত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/members-of-oman-india-joint-business-council-meet-pm/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%8E-%E0%A6%85/,"A group of about 30 young business leaders from Oman, who are part of the Oman India Joint Business Council, called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi today.

The new subjects that you touch upon, your innovation and the confidence with which you do your work become an inspiration for many people like me to do something new. In a way, you become the source of inspiration. So, I want to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart! Smart India Hackathon has become a great example of public participation. And friends, this year’s Smart India Hackathon is very important in many ways. A few days back, we completed 75 years of independence. The country is working on major resolutions about how our country will be after 100 years of independence. For the accomplishment of these resolutions, you innovators are the flag bearers of the slogan ‘Jai Anusandhan’. This 25 year time period of ‘Amritkaal’ has brought unprecedented possibilities for you. These possibilities and resolutions are also directly related to your career growth. The success of youngsters like you in the next 25 years will decide the success of India. That’s why I am very confident about all of you. India is proud of you. Your innovative mindset will take India to the top in the coming 25 years. There are solid reasons for my trust in all of you. Friends, This time on 15th August, I have said from the ramparts of the Red Fort that a massive aspirational society is developing and expanding in India today. This Aspirational Society will work like a driving force in this ‘Amritkaal’. Its expectations and the associated challenges will bring you many new opportunities. Friends, All of you must have read in the early stages of your education that the Green Revolution happened in the 60-70s. The farmers of India showed their potential and made us self-reliant in terms of food. But you can see that in the last 7-8 years, the country is progressing rapidly by bringing revolutions one after the other. There has been an Infrastructure Revolution in India today; Health Sector Revolution is happening in India today; Digital revolution is taking place in India today; Technology revolution is going on in India today. Similarly, the Talent revolution too is happening in India today. Be it the agriculture sector, the education sector or the defence sector, today the emphasis of the country is on modernizing every sector and to make every sector self-reliant. And that is why new opportunities are being created every day in India for the youth like you. Drone technology, tele-consultation, digital institutions and virtual solutions have a great potential for you from service to manufacturing. Youngsters like you can work on innovative solutions to promote the use of drone technology in the agriculture and health sector. There is also a lot of potential in the way we make our irrigation equipment and the irrigation network smart. Friends, Today, the work of laying optical fibre in every village of the country is going on at a rapid pace. You have also seen that now 5G is being launched in India. By the end of this decade, we are preparing to launch 6G. The government is also encouraging Indian solutions in gaming and entertainment. The way the government is investing in all these new sectors and encouraging them, the youth must take advantage of it. And friends, you must remember one more thing. There is a huge population in the world whose problems are similar to that of India. But there are limited opportunities for innovation and start-ups to deal with those problems. India’s innovations provide the most competitive, affordable, sustainable, secure and large-scale implementation solutions in the world. That’s why the world’s hopes are pinned on India and on the youth like you. Friends, In today’s programme, we have with us the stalwarts and policy makers of the education sector. To expand the culture of innovation in India, we have to pay constant attention to two things – Social support and institutional support. Today change is visible in society in terms of innovation and enterprise. Apart from the traditional options of building a career, we have also started trying our hands in new areas. That is, the acceptance of innovation as a profession in society is rising. In such a situation, we must give acceptance and respect to new ideas and original thinking. Research and innovation have to be done from ‘way of working’ to ‘way of living’. Friends, The government is relentlessly working to increase institutional support in the direction of research and innovation. The new National Education Policy has a roadmap to build a strong foundation for innovation. Atal Tinkering Labs, being set up under the Atal Incubation Mission, is grooming a new generation of innovators in schools. Organizations like i-Create are also working successfully in the country, which have supported more than 500 startups so far. Friends, The India of the 21st century is moving ahead with full confidence in its youth. As a result, today India’s ranking in the ‘innovation index’ has improved. The number of patents has increased 7 times in the last 8 years. The unicorn count has also crossed 100. We do not believe that only the government has the solution to the problems. You see, I have brought the government to you. The youngsters like you must provide solutions to these problems of the government. I completely understand your potential. Today’s young generation is coming forward with faster and smarter solutions. One of the motives behind organizing this Hackathon is that my young friends who have come here from all over the country must try to understand the problem, the causes of the problem and also find a way to get rid of the problem that the government wants to solve. This spirit of collaboration between students, government and private organizations and this spirit of everyone’s efforts is essential for building a developed India. Friends, I am sure all of you will keep these things in mind and will continue to ignite this lamp of innovation like this. I assure you that your hard work and efforts will receive the continual support of the government. The government stands with you at every step. Well you all have so much to say. You have spent hours on brainstorming ideas. Listening to you helps me to learn a lot. Many of you have various ideas but I couldn’t hear everyone. I could hear only a few youngsters who spoke as representatives. Those who have not spoken, even their work is no less and their efforts are no less. And I assure you, I will take the briefing of that through the department. And I will try to understand what you all have done. It would have been better if we had a little more time then I would have talked to you too. But the work of those who have not spoken is equally important. I once again congratulate all of you youngsters from the bottom of my heart. I hope we will continue to move forward in this campaign of ensuring the welfare of the people by standing with the government in this work of the government. I wish you all the best.

The Phase-V of PM-GKAY scheme was to end in March 2022. It may be recalled that the PM-GKAY has been under implementation since April 2020, as the largest food security program in the world. The Government has spent approximately Rs. 2.60 Lakh Crore so far and another Rs. 80,000 Crore will be spent over the next 6 months till September 2022 taking the total expenditure under PM-GKAY to nearly Rs. 3.40 Lakh Crore. This will cover nearly 80 crore beneficiaries across India and like before would be fully funded by the Government of India. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly abated and economic activities are gathering momentum, this PM-GKAY extension would ensure that no poor household goes to bed without food during this time of recovery. Under the extended PM-GKAY each beneficiary will get additional 5 kg free ration per person per month in addition to his normal quota of foodgrains under the NFSA. This means that every poor household would get nearly double the normal quantity of ration. It is worth highlighting that the Government had allocated about 759 LMT of free foodgrains under the PM-GKAY till Phase V. With another 244 LMT of free foodgrains under this extension (Phase VI), the aggregate allocation of free foodgrains under the PM-GKAY now stand at 1,003 LMT of foodgrains. The benefit of free ration can be availed through portability by any migrant labour or beneficiary under One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) plan from nearly 5 lakh ration shops across the country. So far, over 61 Crore portability transactions have benefitted the beneficiaries away from their homes. This has been made possible due to highest ever procurement despite the century’s worst pandemic with highest ever payment to farmers by the Government. For this record production in the agricultural fields Indian Farmers –‘Annadata’ deserves to be complimented.","কেবিনেটে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী গৰিব কল্যাণ অন্ন যোজনা (পিএম-জিকেএ) 6 মাহ (এপ্ৰিল-ছেপ্টেম্বৰ, 2022) বৃদ্ধিত অনুমোদন জনাইছে" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-speaks-on-telephone-with-his-excellency-mr-vladimir-putin-president-of-the-russian-federation/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9B%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%AB%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had a telephone conversation today with His Excellency Mr Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation.

The work on the project started in 1978 but due to lack of continuity of budgetary support, interdepartmental coordination and adequate monitoring, it got delayed and was not completed even after nearly four decades. Prime Minister’s vision for farmer welfare and empowerment, and his commitment to prioritise long pending projects of national importance, brought much needed focus on the project. Consequently in 2016, the project was brought under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana with the target to complete it in a time bound manner. In this endeavour, innovative solutions were found for new land acquisition to construct new canals and fill the critical gaps in the project, and also for resolving the pending litigation related to the previous land acquisitions. The renewed focus on the project has resulted in the project being completed in only about four years. The Saryu Nahar National Project has been built with a total cost of more than Rs. 9800 crore, out of which more than Rs 4600 crore was provisioned in the last four years. The project also involves interlinking of five rivers – Ghaghara, Saryu, Rapti, Banganga and Rohini to ensure optimum usage of water resources of the region. The project will provide assured water for irrigation of over 14 lakh hectares of land and benefit about 29 lakh farmers of over 6200 villages. It will benefit nine districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh namely – Bahraich, Shravasti, Balrampur, Gonda, Siddharthnagar, Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar, Gorakhpur and Maharajganj. The farmers of the region, who were the worst sufferers of the inordinate delay in the project, will now immensely benefit from the upgraded irrigation potential. They will now be able to grow crops on a larger scale and maximise the agri-potential of the region.",১১ ডিচেম্বৰত উত্তৰপ্রদেশৰ বলৰামপুৰ ভ্ৰমণ আৰু সৰযূ নাহাৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় প্রকল্প উদ্বোধন কৰিব প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/remarks-by-pm-at-the-opening-session-of-second-global-covid-virtual-summit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A1-%E0%A6%AD/,"President Biden Vice President Haris Excellencies, Namaskar! The Covid pandemic continues to disrupt lives, supply chains, and tests the resilience of open societies. In India, we adopted a people-centric strategy against the pandemic. We have made the highest ever allocation to our annual healthcare budget. Our vaccination programme is the largest in the world. We have fully vaccinated almost 90 percent of the adult population, and more than 50 million children. India manufactures four WHO approved vaccines and has the capacity to produce five billion doses this year. We supplied over 200 million doses to 98 countries, bilaterally and through COVAX. India has developed low-cost COVID mitigation technologies for testing, treating and data management. We have offered these capabilities to other countries. India’s Genomics Consortium has contributed significantly to the global database on the virus. I am happy to share that we will extend this network to countries in our neighborhood. In India, we extensively used our traditional medicines to supplement our fight against COVID and to boost immunity, saving countless lives. Last month, we laid the foundation of ”WHO Centre for Traditional Medicine” in India, with an aim to make this age-old knowledge available to the World. Excellencies, It is clear that a coordinated global response is required to combat future health emergencies. We must build a resilient global supply chain and enable equitable access to vaccines and medicines. WTO rules, particularly TRIPS need to be more flexible. WHO must be reformed and strengthened to build a more resilient global health security architecture. We also call for stream-lining WHO’s approval process for vaccines and therapeutics to keep supply chains stable and predictable. As a responsible member of the global community, India is ready to play a key role in these efforts. Thank you.

The farmers were from Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Maharashtra and Karnataka. The Prime Minister announced that the Union Cabinet would approve the implementation of Minimum Support Price of 150% of the input cost, in its forthcoming meeting, for the notified crops of Kharif season 2018-19.

He said that this will also be higher than the 2017-18 price. It will also provide incentive for those farmers whose recovery from sugarcane will be higher than 9.5%. The Prime Minister apprised the farmers about the various decisions taken to liquidate the arrears of sugarcane farmers. In the last seven to ten days itself, more than Rs. 4000 crore of arrears have been given to the farmers as a result of new policy measures enforced, the Prime Minister said. He further assured the farmers that State Governments have been requested to take effective measures for liquidation of cane arrears. The Prime Minister exhorted farmers to use sprinkler and drip irrigation, latest farming techniques, and solar pumps. He urged farmers to install solar panels in their farms as a source of power, as well as additional income. He called for emphasis on value addition of crops. He also urged them to use farm waste judiciously, as a source of nutrients and for additional income. He exhorted farmers to aim for upto 10% reduction in chemical fertilizers by 2022. The Prime Minister apprised farmers of his recent interactions with corporates, where he has called for greater private sector investment for value addition, warehousing, storage facilities, better quality seeds, and market linkages for improving farmers income. In the course of the interaction, the Prime Minister also recalled the earlier interventions made by the Union Government in 2014-15 and 2015-16, to ease the burden of sugarcane farmers, who were struggling under a huge amount of arrears worth more than Rs. 21,000 crore. This payment was ensured through sugar mills to farmers. The farmers thanked the Prime Minister, and appreciated the various steps taken by the Union Government in the recent past, including increase in import duty on sugar from 50% to 100%, and provision of Rs. 5.50 per quintal as performance based grant to sugar mills for payments to farmers, amounting to Rs. 1540 crore.

Only the double engine government can do this work” Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated 13 Projects worth around Rs. 1850 crores and laid the foundation stone of 9 projects worth around Rs 2950 crore in Imphal, Manipur today. These projects relate to diverse sectors such as Road Infrastructure, Drinking Water Supply, Health, Urban Development, Housing, Information Technology, Skill Development, Art and Culture, among others. The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of construction of five National Highway Projects to be built at a cost of more than Rs 1700 crore.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said a few days from now, on January 21, would be the 50th anniversary of Manipur getting statehood. This fact, along with the occasion of Amrit Mahotsav on 75 years of its independence is a major inspiration in itself. Paying homage to the bravery of the people of Manipur, the Prime Minister said the belief in freedom among the people of the country, started here from the land of Moirang, where Netaji Subhash’s army hoisted the national flag for the first time. The North East, which Netaji called the gateway to India’s independence, is becoming the gateway to fulfilling the dreams of a new India. He reiterated his belief that the eastern and north eastern parts of India will be the source of India’s progress and this is visible in the growth of the region today. The Prime Minister congratulated the people of Manipur for the schemes for which the foundation stone has been laid and were inaugurated today. He thanked the people of Manipur for the formation of a stable government that is governing with full majority and with full impact. He stressed that due this stability and choice of the people of Manipur achievements like 6 lakh farmer families getting hundreds of crore rupees under Kisan Samman Nidhi; 6 lakh poor families getting benefits under PM Garib Kalyan Scheme; 80 thousand houses under PMAY; free medical treatment to 4.25 lakh patients under Ayushman Yojna; 1.5 lakh free gas connections; 1.3 lakh free electricity connections; 30 thousands toilets; more than 30 lakh free vaccine doses and oxygen plants in every district of the state could become reality. The Prime Minister recalled that even before he became the Prime Minister, he visited Manipur many times. He said he understands their pain, “that’s why after 2014, I have brought Delhi – Government of India to your doorstep.” Every officer and Minister was asked to visit the region and serve the people as per their local needs. “You can see that there are five important faces from the region in key portfolios in the Council of Ministers ”, the Prime Minister pointed out. The Prime Minister noted that the hard work of the government for seven years is visible in the entire North East and especially in Manipur. Today Manipur is becoming a symbol of a new work culture of change. These changes are for Manipur’s Culture and for their care. Connectivity is also a priority in this change and creativity is equally important, he said. The Prime Minister elaborated that the Projects of road and infrastructure along with better mobile networks will strengthen connectivity. CIIT will contribute to the creativity and innovation spirit of the local youth. Modern Cancer hospital will add to the dimension of care and the Manipur institute of Performing Art and renovation of Govind Ji Mandir will preserve the cultural heritage. The Prime Minister said that his Government has resolved to ‘Act East’ for the Northeast. He said God has given so many natural resources, so much potential to this region. There are so many possibilities for development and tourism here. He added that work is now being done to realise these possibilities in the North East. Northeast is now becoming the gateway to India’s development, he added. The Prime Minister said Manipur has been a state giving one of the rarest gems for the country. The youth here and especially the daughters of Manipur have made the country proud all over the world. Especially today the youth of the country are taking inspiration from the players of Manipur. The Prime Minister said today, due to the continuous efforts of the double engine government, there is no fire of extremism and insecurity in this region, but there is light of peace and development. Hundreds of youths across the North East have left arms and joined the mainstream of development. The Prime Minister said the agreements which were pending for decades, the current government has taken these historical accords to conclusion.

Digital connectivity has been an important part of policy initiatives of Government through its flagship programs such as Digital India, Start-up India, Make in India etc. Broadband, especially the mobile broadband, has become integral part of the daily lives of the citizens. This received a big boost through the rapid expansion of 4G services across the country since 2015. Eighty crore subscribers have access to broadband today compared to ten crore subscribers in 2014. Through such pathbreaking policy initiatives, the Government has been able to promote access to mobile banking, online education, telemedicine, e-Ration etc. to Antyoday families. The 4G ecosystem created in the country is now leading to 5G indigenous development. The 5G test bed setup in 8 top technology institutes of India is speeding up the launch of domestic 5G technology in India. The PLI (Production-Linked Incentives) schemes for mobile handsets, telecom equipments and the launch of the India Semiconductor Mission is expected to help build a strong ecosystem for the launch of 5G services in India. The time is not far away when India is going to emerge as a leading country in field of 5G technology and the upcoming 6G technology. Spectrum is an integral and necessary part of the entire 5G eco-system. The upcoming 5G services have the potential to create new age businesses, generate additional revenue for enterprises and provide employment arising from the deployment of innovative use-cases and technologies. A total of 72097.85 MHz of spectrum with a validity period of 20 years will be put to auction to be held by the end of July, 2022. The auction will be held for spectrum in various Low (600 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz), Mid (3300 MHz) and High (26 GHz) frequency bands. It is expected that the Mid and High band spectrum will be utilised by Telecom Service Providers to roll-out of 5G technology-based services capable of providing speed and capacities which would be about 10 times higher than what is possible through the current 4G services. The spectrum auction will be benefitted by the Telecom Sector Reforms announced in September, 2021. The reforms include zero Spectrum Usage Charges (SUC) on the spectrum acquired in the upcoming auction, providing a significant relief to the service providers in terms of the operating cost of telecom networks. Further, the requirement of submitting a financial bank guarantee equivalent to one annual instalment has also been done away with. Continuing the pace of Telecom Sector reforms, the Cabinet announced various progressive options with regard to the spectrum to be acquired by bidders through the forthcoming spectrum auction for facilitating ease of doing business. For the first time ever, there is no mandatory requirement to make upfront payment by the successful bidders. Payments for spectrum can be made in 20 equal annual instalments to be paid in advance at the beginning of each year. This is expected to significantly ease cash flow requirements and lower the cost of doing business in this sector. The bidders would be given an option to surrender the spectrum after 10 years with no future liabilities with respect to balance instalments. The availability of sufficient backhaul spectrum is also necessary to enable the roll-out of 5G services. To meet the backhaul demand, the Cabinet has decided to provisionally allot 2 carriers of 250 MHz each in E-band to the Telecom Service Providers. The Cabinet also decided to double the number of traditional Microwave backhaul carriers in the existing frequency bands of 13, 15, 18 and 21 GHz bands. The Cabinet also decided to enable the development and setting up of Private Captive Networks to spur a new wave of innovations in Industry 4.0 applications such as machine to machine communications, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) across automotive, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and other sectors.",আইএমটি/৫জি স্পেকট্ৰামৰ নিলামত অনুমোদন কেবিনেট https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-applauds-those-who-are-displaying-their-products-on-gem-platform/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%AA/,"GeM platform crosses Rs. 1 Lakh crore Gross Merchandise value The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has applauded the vendors for displaying their products on GeM platform.

Present with us in this sacred ceremony is Maharashtra Governor Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari ji, Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Shri Devendra Fadnavis ji, Minister in Maharashtra Government Shri Subhash Desai ji, respected Usha ji, Asha ji, Adinath Mangeshkar ji, all the members of the Master Deenanath Smruti Pratishthan, all the distinguished colleagues from the world of music and art, other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! Respected Hridaynath Mangeshkar ji was also to attend this important event. But as told by Adinath ji, he could not come here due to ill health. I wish him a speedy recovery. Friends, I am not finding myself very worthy here, because I am not well-versed with such a profound subject as music, but from the point of view of cultural appreciation, I feel that music is both ‘sadhana’ (devotion) and ‘bhavana’ (emotion) and that which expresses the inexpressible is the word. One that fills the expression with energy and consciousness is ‘nada’ (sound) and the one that fills consciousness with emotions and feelings and takes it to the extreme of creation and sensitivity is ‘sangeet’ (music). You may be sitting motionless, but music can make tears flow from your eyes. Such is the power of music. Music can also give you a sense of detachment. Music can fill you with valour and motherly affection. It can take one to the pinnacle of patriotism and a sense of duty. We are fortunate to have seen this potential and power of music in the form of Lata Didi. We have had the privilege of seeing her with our own eyes and the Mangeshkar family has been making sacrifices in this ‘yagna’ for many generations. For me, this experience has been much more. Harish ji made some descriptions about her, but I was wondering how old my relationship with Didi is. It must have been four-and-a-half decades ago when Sudhir Phadke ji introduced me to her. And since then, the immense affection and countless incidents with this family became a part of my life. For me, Lata Didi was the melody queen as well as my elder sister. What can be a greater privilege than to have received the love of a sister from Lata Didi, who has given the gift of love and emotion to many generations? Didi will not be there during this year’s Rakhi festival after so many decades. Generally, I choose to stay away from events in my honor as I am not very comfortable. But when the award is in the name of an elder sister like Lata Didi, it becomes a kind of obligation for me to come here because of her affinity with me and the rights that the Mangeshkar family has on me. And this is the symbol of that love when I received a message from Adinath ji asking me about my programs and how busy I was. I did not ask anything and said yes to him immediately, because it was not possible for me to refuse. I dedicate this award to all the countrymen. Just as Lata Didi belonged to the people, similarly this award given to me in her name also belongs to the people. I used to have frequent conversations with Lata Didi. She used to send her messages and blessings to me. Perhaps one thing that she used to say, which I cannot forget, can be useful to all of us. I used to respect her a lot. She always used to say – “A person does not become great by his age, but by his work. The more one does for the country, the greater he becomes”. We realize the greatness of a person who is at the peak of success and has such thoughts. Lata Didi was mature with age as well as through her deeds. We know from the time we have spent with Lata Didi that she was the epitome of simplicity. Lata Didi achieved that position in music that people considered her to be the symbol of Maa Saraswati. Her voice left its mark on the music world for nearly 80 years. What a great journey the world of music has traveled along with Lata ji starting with gramophones, then from gramophones to cassettes, CDs, DVDs, pen drives, to online music and apps. She lent her voice to 4-5 generations of cinema. She was conferred with the highest honour ‘Bharat Ratna’ and the country became proud. The entire world considered her to be melody queen. But she did not consider herself to be a queen of notes, but a ‘sadhika’. And we have heard this from many people whenever she used to go for the recording of any song she used to take off her slippers. The practice of music and the worship of God was same for her. Friends, If we try to understand Adi Shankara’s theory of Advaita, then sometimes we get confused. But when I try to think about the principle of Advaita of Adi Shankara, and if I have to say it in simple words, then the utterance of God to that principle of Advaita is incomplete without music. Music is integrated with God. Where there is music, there is perfection. Music affects our heart and our conscience. If its origin is as pure as that of Lata ji, then that purity and emotion also dissolve in that music. This element of her personality is an inspiration to all of us, and especially to the younger generation. Friends, Lata ji’s physical journey was completed at a time when our country is celebrating Amrit Mahotsav of its freedom. She gave voice to India before independence, and the country’s journey over these 75 years was also associated with her voice. The name of Lata ji’s father Deenanath Mangeshkar ji is also associated with this award. All the countrymen are indebted to the Mangeshkar family for their contribution to the country. Along with music, the consciousness of patriotism that was within Lata Didi, her father was the source of it. Deenanath ji sang a song written by Veer Savarkar during a program held in the honor of the British Viceroy in Shimla during the freedom struggle. Only Deenanath ji could do this in front of the British Viceroy through music. He also performed on its theme and the song was written by Veer Savarkar ji challenging the British rule. This courage, this sense of patriotism was given by Deenanath ji to his family. Lata ji had probably once said that she wanted to go into the field of social service. Lata ji made music her worship, but patriotism and national service also got inspiration through her songs. Lata ji immortalized Veer Savarkar ji’s song ‘Hindu Narasimha’ on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, or the poems of Samarth Guru Ramdas ji by recording the album of Shiv Kalyan Raja. The emotional tracks of “Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon” and “Jai Hind Ki Sena” have become immortal and are on the lips of the people of the country. There are so many aspects related to her life! It is our duty to take the contribution of Lata Didi and her family to the people during Amrit Mahotsav. Friends, Today the country is moving ahead with the belief of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’. Lata ji was like a melodious manifestation of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’. She sang thousands of songs in more than 30 languages of the country. Lataji’s voice is equally at home in every language, be it Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit or any other Indian language. She is ingrained in the minds of people in every state, in every region. She has demonstrated how music can become immortal with Indian-ness. She recited the Bhagavad Gita as well as the songs of Tulsi, Meera, Sant Dnyaneshwar and Narsi Mehta. Lata ji’s voice revived everything from the ‘chaupais’ (quatrains) of Ramcharitmanas to Bapu’s favorite hymn ‘Vaishnav Jan to Tene Kahiye’. She had recorded a set of songs and chants for Tirupati Devasthanam, which is still played there every morning. That is, from culture to faith, from east to west, from north to south, Lata ji’s notes have worked to unite the whole country. Globally too, she was India’s cultural ambassador. Her personal life was also like that. She built Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune with her earnings and with the help of her friends, which is still serving the poor. Not many people are aware that Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune was one of the select hospitals which worked most for the poor during the Corona period. Friends, Today, the country is reflecting on its past and is making new resolutions for the future during the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. We are one of the largest startup ecosystems in the world. Today India is moving towards becoming self-reliant in every field; this journey of development is part of our resolutions. But India’s fundamental vision of development has always been different. For us, development means- ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. The ethos of ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’ (welfare of all) is also included in this spirit of development for all. The development of the entire world and the welfare of the entire humanity cannot be achieved by mere material capabilities. For this, human values are very important! For this, spiritual consciousness is critically important. That is why India is providing leadership in areas like yoga, Ayurveda and the environment. I believe our Indian music is also an important part of this contribution. This responsibility is in your hands. It is the responsibility of all of us to keep this heritage alive with the same values, carry it forward and make a medium of world peace. I am sure that all the people associated with the music world will discharge this responsibility and give direction to a new India. With this belief, I thank all of you from my heart. I also thank the Mangeshkar family for choosing me for the inaugural award in the name of Didi. But when Harish ji was reading the acknowledgment letter, I was thinking that I will have to read it several times to make a note of how much I have yet to achieve, how many drawbacks are there in me and how to overcome that. With the blessings of Didi and the love of the Mangeshkar family, my drawbacks have been presented to me through the acknowledgment letter and I will try to overcome them. Many thanks!

The platform for the Grand Challenge is the Startup India Portal. Addressing the gathering on this occasion, the Prime Minister complimented industry representatives and all others present, for their efforts in improving India’s ranking in “Ease of Doing Business (EoDB).” He recalled that when he had first articulated his vision for India to break into the Top 50 in EoDB rankings in the years to come, it was greeted with skepticism. He added, however, that a great improvement is now visible in just four years. He said the EoDB rank has improved by 65 spots in this period. He said India now ranks first in South Asia, and is just some steps away from the Top 50 target. He said that the Union and State Governments have both worked together towards improving EoDB, in the spirit of cooperative, competitive federalism. The Prime Minister said that the Union Government has laid stress on Policy Driven Governance and Predictable Transparent Policies. He said that the reforms being undertaken by the Union Government are also aimed at improving ease of living for the common people. He said, today small entrepreneurs can do business more easily, and simple things like getting an electricity connection have got easier. He said that in the last four years, more than 1400 archaic laws have been repealed. He said dramatic reductions have been achieved in areas such as time taken for resolution of commercial disputes, and time taken for clearing imported goods. He listed a number of other areas, where great improvements have been made. He mentioned the efforts made for the MSME sector, such as approval for loans upto Rs 1 crore in 59 minutes. The Prime Minister said that organizations such as IMF and Moody’s, today appear confident and optimistic about India’s future. The Prime Minister said that the aim is to make India a 5 trillion dollar economy in the shortest possible time. He said that for this, improvement is necessary in every sector of the economy. He said that the Union Government is also working towards an industrial policy which will be more reflective of current realities, and will be in accordance with the new vision of the entrepreneurs of New India. He exhorted the gathering to work towards achieving the target of a Top 50 position in EoDB rankings. The Prime Minister said that it is necessary to reduce human intervention in processes, and increase the use of modern and digital technologies. He said that a work culture based on this, will further promote policy driven governance.","সহজে ব্যৱসায় কৰাৰ প্ৰধান প্ৰত্যাহ্বান শীৰ্ষক কাৰ্যসূচীৰ শুভাৰম্ভ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ, উদ্যোগ জগতৰ বিভিন্ন প্ৰতিনিধিক উদ্দেশ্যি ভাষণ প্ৰদান" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/buddha-jayanti-celebration-at-lumbini-nepal/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7-%E0%A6%9C/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi attended the 2566th Buddha Jayanti Celebration at International Convention Center and Meditation Hall at Lumbini, Nepal.

Thematic presentations were made to the Prime Minister on subjects such as corporate governance, human resource management, financial re-engineering, innovations and technology, and Vision 2022 for New India. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister described this conclave as a new beginning in the public sector sphere. Appreciating the presentations, the Prime Minister said that the Union Government has given operational freedom to the public sector undertakings, so that they can improve their performance. He said PSUs have contributed significantly in nation-building, and in the nation’s economy, since independence. He said that for Public Sector Enterprises, both profit and generating social benefit are important. Complimenting the PSE employees for their contribution, the Prime Minister said that major objectives of the Government, such as electrifying all unelectrified villages, and providing LPG connections to the poor, could not have been fulfilled without the hard work of the PSE workers. The Prime Minister said that it is not enough to rest on past laurels, but is also important to adapt to emerging challenges. He said enterprise and innovation should be the guiding principles in the 21st century. He said Incentives, Imagination and Institution Building would be the three keys to success. The Prime Minister exhorted PSEs to help in making the New India, through changes in technology and processes. For this he said, PSEs would need a 5-P formula – Performance, Process, Persona, Procurement and Prepare. Elaborating the same, he mentionedimproving operational and financial performance; transparency and accountability in processes; procurement through the GeM platform and from MSMEs; and preparation for technological disruptions such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing and Robotics. He set five challenges before the PSEs, for New India: By 2022, how will Indian PSUs maximize their geo-strategic reach? By 2022, how will Indian PSUs minimize the country’s import bill? By 2022, how will Indian PSUs integrate innovation and research? By 2022, what will be the roadmap for Indian PSUs to optimally utilize their CSR Fund? By 2022, what new development model will Indian PSUs give the country? The Prime Minister said that out of the 500 biggest companies in the world, one-fourth belong to the public sector in some country. He suggested that Indian PSUs can link with PSUs with other countries, and develop a comprehensive strategy for overseas investment. He said PSUs can also play a key role in reducing India’s import bill. Noting that CPSEs have modern R&D infrastructure, in addition to the facilities that exist in CSIR and ICAR etc, the Prime Minister said that innovation and research now need to be integrated. In this context, he called for greater information sharing among CPSEs and Government Departments. The Prime Minister suggested that the CSR spend of CPSEs should be focused largely on one specific theme each year. In this context, he noted the success that was achieved when this CSR spend was utilized for toilet construction in schools. He said one good theme could be the development of aspirational districts. He said CPSEs can also take up skill development programmes, as part of CSR. The Prime Minister said CPSEs can work as role models in many areas such as paperless work culture, cashless transactions, and waste management. The Prime Minister expressed hope that CPSEs would participate in a big way in realizing the resolve of New India.",চিপিএছইৰ সন্মিলনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ প্ৰদান https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-demise-of-lok-sabha-mp-mahant-chand-nath/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A6-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has condoled the demise of Lok Sabha MP Mahant Chand Nath.

When I landed at the airport, people had lined up the 8-10 km journey of the road with energy and colors. It was kind of a human wall. No one can forget your hospitality, affection and blessings. Happy 2022 to all of you! Friends, A few days from now, on January 21, it will be the 50th anniversary of Manipur getting statehood. The country is also celebrating Amrit Mahotsav on the 75th anniversary of its independence. This period is a great inspiration in itself. It is Manipur where heroes like Raja Bhagya Chandra and Khotinthang Sitlhou were born. The belief in freedom among the people of the country started from the land of Moirang is an example in itself, where the army of Netaji Subhas hoisted the national flag for the first time. The North East, which Netaji called the gateway to India’s independence, is becoming the gateway to fulfilling the dreams of a new India. I have said earlier also that the eastern part of the country, the North East, will be the major source of India’s development. Today we can see how Manipur and the North East are adding new colors to the future of India. Friends, Today, the foundation stone and inauguration of so many projects have taken place here simultaneously. These are different gems of development, whose garland will make the life of the people of Manipur easier and will enhance the splendor of Sana Leibak Manipur. The Integrated Command and Control Center in Imphal will enhance the security of the city and also expand facilities. The lifeline of Manipur is getting a new all-weather connectivity through the Barak River Bridge. The Thoubal Multipurpose Project as well as the water supply scheme in Tamenglong is ensuring clean and pure water to all the people of this remote district. Friends, You recall, there was hardly any piped water facility in Manipur until a few years ago. Only 6 percent of people had access to piped water. But today, the government of Biren Singh ji worked round the clock to provide piped water to the people of Manipur under the ‘Jal-Jeevan Mission’. Today 60 percent of the households in Manipur have access to piped water. Very soon, Manipur is about to achieve the goal of ‘Har Ghar Jal’ with 100% saturation. That is the advantage and strength of the double engine government. Friends, I would also like to thank the people of Manipur again for the projects that have been laid and unveiled today. You formed such a stable government in Manipur which is functioning with a full majority. How did it happen? It happened because of your one vote. The power of your one vote did what no one could have imagined before in Manipur. This is the strength of your one vote that six lakh farmers of Manipur got hundreds of crores of rupees through the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. I just got a chance to talk to some of these beneficiary farmers; their self-confidence and enthusiasm were worth seeing. This is the strength of your one vote that six lakh families of Manipur are getting the benefit of free ration under the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana. This is the miracle of the strength of your one vote that about 80,000 houses have been sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The free treatment of more than 4.25 lakh people in hospitals under the Ayushman Yojana has been made possible only because of your one vote. One vote of yours has ensured free gas connection to 1.5 lakh families and free electricity connection to 1.30 lakh households. Your one vote has led to toilets being built in more than 30,000 households under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. It is the power of your one vote that more than 30 lakh doses of vaccines have been given free of cost here to fight Corona. Today oxygen plants are also being set up in every district of Manipur. All this has been made possible by your one vote. I heartily congratulate all the people of Manipur for their many achievements. I also congratulate Chief Minister Biren Singh ji and his government for working so hard for the development of Manipur. Friends, There was a time when Manipur was left to fend for itself by previous governments. Those who were in Delhi wondered who would take so much pain to go so far. When there is such apathy towards one’s own, detachment is bound to grow. I visited Manipur many times before I became Prime Minister. I understood the pain in your heart. Therefore, I brought the entire Delhi, the Government of India, to your doorsteps after 2014. Be it a leader, minister, or officer, I told everyone to go there, spend a long time there and make plans according to the needs there. It was not the idea that I have to give you something. The idea was to work as much as I could with complete dedication and the spirit of service for you, Manipur and the North East. Today five prominent faces of the North East are handling important ministries in the Union Cabinet. Friends, Today, the seven years of our government’s hard work is visible all over the North East and in Manipur. Today, Manipur is becoming a symbol of change, a symbol of new work culture. These are the changes for the culture and care of Manipur. There is a priority for connectivity as well as the importance of creativity. Road and infrastructure-related projects and better mobile networks will improve the connectivity of Manipur. The CIIIT will further strengthen the spirit of creativity and innovation in the youth here. The modern cancer hospital will help in the care of the people of Manipur for the prevention and treatment of serious diseases. The establishment of the Manipur Institute of Performing Arts and renovation of Govindajee Temple will preserve the culture of Manipur. Friends, It was on this land of the North East that Rani Gaidinliu had shown the dominance of woman power to the foreigners and had fought against the British. The Rani Gaidinliu Museum will connect our youth with the past and also inspire them. There is an island in Andaman Nicobar which was known as Mount Harriet. Even after 75 years of independence, people used to call it Mount Harriet, but we have also decided to change the name of Mount Harriet to Mount Manipur. Now any foreign tourist visiting Andaman and Nicobar will try to find out the history of Mount Manipur. There was a persistent policy of the previous governments regarding the North East which was ‘Don’t Look East’. The North East was paid attention by Delhi only when elections were held here. But we have embarked on the ‘Act East’ policy for the North East. God has given this region so many natural resources, so much potential and there are so many possibilities for development and tourism. These possibilities of the North East are now being taken care of. The North East is now becoming the gateway to India’s development. Airports are now being built in the North East, and train services are also reaching here. Manipur is also going to be connected with the rail network of the country through the Jiribam-Tupul-Imphal railway line. The Imphal-Morey Highway i.e. Asian Highway One is progressing rapidly. This highway will strengthen India’s connectivity to Southeast Asia. Earlier, only the names of a few cities of the country came to the fore when it came to exports. But now, Manipur will also become a major center of trade and export once the Integrated Cargo Terminal is ready, giving impetus to a self-reliant India. And yesterday, the countrymen heard the news that the country set a new record by exporting goods worth 300 billion dollars for the first time since independence. Even smaller states are coming forward in this regard. Friends, Earlier people wanted to visit the North East, but were held up thinking how to get here. This caused a lot of damage to the tourism sector here. But now it is becoming easier to reach not only the cities, but also the villages of the North East. Today, work on many National Highways is being carried out here, and hundreds of kilometers of new roads are also being constructed in the villages under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. Natural gas, which was considered a privilege of the few, is now reaching the North East. These new facilities and an increase in connectivity will boost tourism and will create new employment opportunities for the youth here. Friends, Manipur has been one of the rare gem states in the country. The youth, especially the daughters of Manipur, have made the country proud everywhere in the world. Today, the youth of the country are taking inspiration from the players of Manipur. From the Commonwealth Games to the Olympics, Manipur has given champions like M.C. Mary Kom, Mirabai Chanu, Bombayla Devi, Laishram Sarita Devi, in wrestling, archery, boxing and weightlifting. You have so many promising people who can do amazing things if they get the right guidance and the necessary resources. Our youth and daughters here are full of such talent. Therefore, we have set up a modern sports university in Manipur. This university will not only connect these youth with their dreams, but will also give a new identity to India in the world of sports. This is the new spirit, new passion of the country, which will now be led by our youth and daughters. Friends, The North East will also benefit from the national mission on oil palm launched by the central government. Today, India imports a large quantity of palm oil from abroad to meet its needs. Thousands of crores of rupees are being spent on this. We are continuing efforts in this direction so that this money goes to the farmers of India and India becomes self-sufficient in edible oil. This Rs 11,000 crore Oil Palm Mission will go a long way in boosting the income of farmers. And this is going to happen mostly in the North-East. Here in Manipur also, work is happening very fast. The government is also giving financial assistance for setting up new mills for oil palms. Friends, While being proud of the achievements of Manipur, we also have to remember that we have a long way to go. We also need to remember how we started this journey. We have to remember how our Manipur was made a ‘blockade state’ by the previous governments and they created a gap between the Hill and Valley for political gains. We have to remember how conspiracies were hatched to create differences between people. Friends, Today, there is no fire of extremism and insecurity, but the light of peace and development in the region due to the constant efforts of the double engine government. Hundreds of young people across the North East have given up arms and joined the mainstream of development. Our government has also entered into historic agreements which were awaited for decades. From ‘blockade state’, Manipur is paving the way for international trade. Our government has launched “Go to Hills” and “Go to Villages” campaigns to bridge the gaps between the Hill and the Valley. In the midst of these efforts, you have to remember that some people want to destabilize Manipur again in order to gain power. These people are hoping to play a game of unrest when they get a chance. I am happy that the people of Manipur have recognized them. Now the people of Manipur will not allow the development here to stop. Manipur must not be allowed to slip into the dark again. Friends, Today, the country is moving ahead with the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’. Today, the country is working with the spirit of ‘Sabka Prayas’ (efforts of all) and is working for all and far and wide. This decade of the 21st century is very important for Manipur. Earlier governments wasted a lot of time. Now we don’t have to waste a single moment. We have to maintain stability in Manipur and also take Manipur to a new height of development. And this can only be done by the double engine government. I am confident that Manipur will continue to maintain its blessings on the double engine government. Once again, best wishes to the people of Manipur, my dear brothers and sisters of Manipur, for today’s many projects. Thagatchari!!! Bharat Mata Ki – Jai! Bharat Mata Ki – Jai! Bharat Mata Ki – Jai! Many thanks!",মণিপুৰত বিভিন্ন উন্নয়ণী প্ৰকল্পৰ উদ্বোধন আৰু আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-lays-foundation-stone-of-multiple-development-initiatives-worth-over-rs-1970-crore-in-vyara-tapi-gujarat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE-10/,"“Welfare of tribal communities is our foremost priority and wherever we have formed the government, we have given top priority to tribal welfare” “Tribal children have got new opportunities to grow ahead” “Tribal welfare budget has grown more than three-fold in last 7-8 years” “With Sabka Prayas, we will build a developed Gujarat and a developed India.” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of multiple development initiatives worth over Rs. 1970 crore in Vyara, Tapi. The projects include the improvement of the road from Saputara to the Statue of Unity along with the construction of missing links, and water supply projects worth over Rs 300 crore in Tapi and Narmada districts. Acknowledging the enthusiasm and affection of the people present on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that he felt blessed to be a recipient of their affection for two decades. He said, “You all have come here from far and wide. Seeing your energy, your enthusiasm, the mind becomes happy and my energy levels get a boost”. “I am trying”, he continued “to repay this debt by working for your development wholeheartedly. Even today, the foundation stone of projects worth hundreds of crores of rupees related to the development of this entire tribal area, including Tapi and Narmada, has been laid.” The Prime Minister said that the country has seen two types of politics regarding tribal interests and the welfare of tribal communities. On the one hand, there are parties which do not care for tribal interests and have a history of making false promises to the tribals while on the other hand there is a party like BJP, which always gave top priority to tribal welfare. “While earlier governments made fun of tribal traditions, we on the other hand respect the tribal traditions, ” he continued, “Welfare of tribal communities is our foremost priority and wherever we have formed the government, we have given top priority to tribal welfare.” Speaking on the welfare of tribal communities, the Prime Minister further said “My tribal brothers and sisters should have their own pucca house with electricity, gas connection, toilet, a road leading to the house, a medical centre nearby, means of income in the vicinity, and a school for children.” He further added that Gujarat has seen unprecedented development. The Prime Minister informed that every village in Gujarat has 24 hours electricity today, but the first place where every village was connected with an electricity facility was the tribal district of Dang. “About a decade and a half ago, under Jyotirgram Yojana, the target of 100 percent electrification was achieved in more than 300 villages of Dang district. This inspiration from Dang district led us to undertake electrification of all villages in the country when you sent me to Delhi as Prime Minister”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister threw light on the Wadi Yojana that was undertaken to give new life to agriculture in tribal areas. Shri Modi recalled the earlier situation when it was difficult to grow and buy millet-maize in the tribal areas. “Today, cashew is cultivated in tribal areas along with fruits like mango, guava and lemon”, the Prime Minister pointed out. He credited the Wadi Yojana for this positive change and informed that through this scheme, tribal farmers were assisted in cultivating fruits, teak and bamboo on barren land. “Today this program is going on in many districts of Gujarat”, he said. The Prime Minister remembered that President Dr Abdul Kalam had come to see it in Valsad district and he also praised the project very much. Shri Modi also talked about the changed water situation in Gujarat. In Gujarat, water grids were laid on the lines of electricity grids. a canal and lift irrigation network was constructed in the entire Gujarat including Tapi. Water was lifted from Daba Kantha canal and then the water facility in Tapi district increased. He informed that the Ukai scheme is being built with an investment of hundreds of crores of rupees and the projects for which the foundation stone has been laid today will further improve the water facility. “There was a time when only a quarter of the households in Gujarat had a water connection. Today 100% of households in Gujarat have piped drinking water”, the Prime Minister said. Throwing light on Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana, the Prime Minister informed that it was conceived and implemented to fulfil every basic need and aspiration of the tribal society in Gujarat. “Today we are seeing that many daughters from Tapi and other adjoining tribal districts are going to school and college here. Now many sons and daughters of tribal society are studying science, becoming doctors and engineers” he said. The Prime Minister recalled that when these youngsters were born 20-25 years ago, there were very few schools in the entire tribal belt from Umargam to Ambaji and barely enough facilities to study science. The Prime Minister informed that under the Mission School of Excellence which was inaugurated yesterday in Gujarat, about 4,000 schools in tribal talukas will be modernised. In the last two decades, the Prime Minister informed that more than 10 thousand schools have been built in tribal areas, Eklavya Model School and special residential schools for daughters have been set up. Birsa Munda Tribal University of Narmada and Shri Govind Guru Vishwavidyalaya of Godhra are providing opportunities for higher education to tribal youth. The budget for scholarships for tribal children has now been more than doubled. The Prime Minister underlined, “The number of Eklavya schools has also increased manifold.” For our tribal children, we made special arrangements for education and also gave financial help to study abroad”, he said. The Prime Minister also reiterated the benefits of bringing transparency in sports through campaigns like Khelo India and providing new opportunities for the tribal children to grow and develop their potential. The Prime Minister said that the Gujarat government has spent more than one lakh crore rupees on Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana. Now in the second phase of this scheme, the Gujarat government is again going to spend more than one lakh crore rupees, he informed. With this, many new schools for tribal children, many hostels, new medical colleges, and nursing colleges will also be built. “Under this scheme, the government is also preparing to build more than 2.5 lakh houses for the tribals. In the last few years, more than 6 lakh houses and land leases have been given to about one lakh tribal families in tribal areas”, he said. “Our resolve”, the Prime Minister said, “is to make the tribal society completely free from problems of malnutrition. That’s why the central government has started a huge ‘Poshan Abhiyan’ through which thousands of rupees are being given to help mothers eat nutritious food during pregnancy.” A huge campaign is going on under Mission Indradhanush to ensure that mothers and children get vaccinated on time. Now it has been more than two and a half years since free ration is being given to the poor all over the country. The central government is spending more than Rs 3 lakh crore on this. So far, about 10 crore free gas connections have been given in the country for our mothers and sisters to stay away from diseases caused by smoke. Lakhs of tribal families have got the facility of free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh per year under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Highlighting the efforts of the government in restoring the forgotten legacy of the tribal community in the history of India’s freedom movement, the Prime Minister remarked that the tribal community has a very rich legacy. He said, “Now for the first time, the country is celebrating the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda on 15th November as Tribal Pride Day.” He further added that the contributions of tribal freedom fighters are being preserved and showcased through museums across the country. Recalling the time when a Tribal Ministry did not exist, the Prime Minister pointed out that it was Atal Ji’s government which formed the tribal ministry for the first time. “The Gram Sadak Yojana was started during Atal Ji’s government, which resulted in many benefits for the tribal areas. “Our government has done the work of ending the injustice being done to the tribals”, he added. The Prime Minister further informed that the budget related to tribal welfare has also been increased by more than three times in the last 8 years thereby creating new opportunities for employment and self-employment for our tribal youth. “This partnership of development should be strengthened continuously”, the Prime Minister said as he urged everyone to join the efforts of the Double Engine government to enhance the potential of the tribal youth. “With Sabka Prayas, we will build a developed Gujarat, and a developed India.”, the Prime Minister concluded.

He had laid the foundation stone of this Institute in April 2015. Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister expressed confidence that the Centre would play a key role in the dissemination of Dr. Ambedkar’s teachings and vision. Noting that the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre for Socio Economic Transformation is also part of this project, the Prime Minister said that this will be an important centre for research on social and economic issues. He said the centre would function as a think-tank for inclusive growth, and related socio-economic matters. The Prime Minister said that thought-leaders and visionaries have shaped the direction of our country, at different points in time. He said the country is indebted to Baba Saheb, for his contributions to nation-building. He said the Union Government wants more and more people, and especially the youth, to learn about his vision and ideas. That is why, he added, that important places related to Dr. Ambedkar’s life have been developed as centres of pilgrimage. In this context, he mentioned the sites at Alipur in Delhi; Mhow in Madhya Pradesh; Indu Mill in Mumbai; Deeksha Bhumi in Nagpur; and the house in London. He said that this ‘Panchteerth’ is the today’s generation’s way of paying homage to Dr. Ambedkar. He said that the BHIM App for digital transactions, is the Union Government’s homage to the economic vision of Dr. Ambedkar. Quoting from Dr. Ambedkar’s address to the Constituent Assembly in December 1946, the Prime Minister said despite his struggles, Dr. Ambedkar had an inspirational vision for the nation to overcome its problems. He said that we have still not been able to fulfil the vision of Dr. Ambedkar. He said today’s generation has the capability and the potential to eradicate social evils. The Prime Minister recalled Dr. Ambedkar’s words, that we should make our political democracy, a social democracy as well. He said that over the last three to three and a half years, the Union Government has worked towards fulfilling this vision of social democracy. In this context, he mentioned initiatives taken by the Government such as Jan Dhan Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Swachh Bharat Mission, insurance schemes, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, and the recently launched Saubhagya Yojana. He said the Union Government is making every effort to complete schemes and projects within their intended duration, and the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre represents one illustration of this. He spoke at length about other schemes including distribution of soil health cards, Mission Indradhanush and progress towards rural electrification targets, to show the speed and commitment of the Union Government in implementing public welfare initiatives. The Prime Minister also mentioned the Stand-Up India scheme for generating self employment. The Prime Minister asserted that his call of “New India”, is the India which Dr. Ambedkar envisioned, where everyone has equal opportunity and rights, free from caste oppression, and progressing through the strength of technology. He exhorted everyone to work towards fulfilling the vision of Babasaheb Ambedkar; and hoped that we would be able to accomplish it by 2022.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে দেশবাসীৰ নামত অৰ্পণ কৰিলে ড০ আম্বেদকাৰ আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় কেন্দ্ৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-concession-agreements-land-lease-agreements/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%AB%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%BF/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the proposal – to provide land on lease to Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL); to provide the Concession Agreements & Land Lease Agreements for the revival of Gorakhpur & Sindri units of Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited (FCIL) and Barauni unit of Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation Limited (HFCL) by HURL; and to authorize Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) to approve Substitution Agreements and approve other agreements, if any to be signed between FCIL/HFCL and HURL for the three projects at Gorakhpur, Sindri and Barauni. Impact The revival of Gorakhpur, Sindri and Barauni units of FCIL/HFCL will ensure substantial investment in the fertilizer sector. These units will act as anchor customer to Jagdishpur-Haldia Pipeline (JHPL) gas pipeline being laid for development of critical infrastructure in Eastern India. This will create job opportunities in the region and also boost the economy of the eastern region/state. The revival of fertilizer unit will also augment indigenous production of urea thereby enhancing self-reliance in urea. Details HURL, a Joint Venture company of NTPC, IOCL, CIL and FCIL/ HFCL was incorporated in June 2016 to implement the fertilizer revival projects at Gorakhpur, Sindri, and Barauni. In order to facilitate HURL to set up the fertilizer projects at the three locations, Lease Deeds are to be signed with HURL by FCIL/HFCL. The lease of land is for a period of 55 years. The Lessee (HURL) would pay a nominal Lease Rent of Rs.1 lakh per annum to the Lessor (FCIL/HFCL). Concession Agreements for the three projects at Sindri & Gorakhpur Units of FCIL and Barauni Unit of HFCL are to be entered between FCIL/HFCL and HURL (Concessionaire) for the purpose of giving a right to HURL to carry out complete design, engineering, construction, procurement, testing, commissioning, operate and maintaining fertilizer plants and market its products. Substitution Agreement which is a tri-patriate Agreement amongst HURL, Lenders’ representative for the specific project and FCIL/HFCL for the purpose of assignment of the land to enable HURL to obtain finances may be required to be signed after Lenders’ syndication is completed for each of the projects.",এফচিআইএলৰ গোৰখপুৰ আৰু ছিন্দ্ৰি আৰু এইচএফচিএলৰ বাৰাউনি সাৰ কাৰখানাৰ পুনৰুজ্জীৱিতকৰণৰ লক্ষ্যৰে ৰেহাই সংক্রান্তীয় চুক্তি আৰু ভূমি লিজত দিয়া চুক্তিত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-commemoration-of-40-years-of-suzuki-in-india-at-gandhinagar-gujarat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%A4/,"Popular Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, Chief Minister of Haryana Shri Manohar Lal ji, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Krishna Chautala ji, my colleague in Parliament Shri C.R. Patil, senior functionaries of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Ambassador of Japan to India, senior officers of Maruti-Suzuki, all other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! At the outset, I would like to congratulate Suzuki and everyone associated with the Suzuki family. Suzuki’s family relationship with India and the people of India is now 40 years old. Today, while the foundation stone of an ambitious plant for the production of electric vehicle batteries is being laid in Gujarat, a new car manufacturing facility is also being started in Haryana. I believe this expansion will form the basis of great future potential for Suzuki. I also extend my heartiest congratulations to Suzuki Motors and to all the members of this vast family. In particular, I would also like to congratulate Mr. Osamu Suzuki and Mr. Toshihiro Suzuki. Whenever you meet me, you present a new vision of Suzuki in India. I met Mr. Osamu Suzuki in May this year and he requested me to attend the 40 years function of Suzuki in India. It is a pleasure for me to witness such futuristic initiatives. Friends, The success of Maruti-Suzuki also signifies the strong India-Japan partnership. In the last eight years, the relations between our two countries have reached new heights. Today, so many development projects are examples of Indo-Japan friendship from the bullet train in Gujarat-Maharashtra to the Rudraksh Center in Banaras in Uttar Pradesh. And when it comes to this friendship, every Indian remembers our friend, the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The people of Gujarat fondly remember Shinzo Abe when he came to Gujarat. Today Prime Minister (Fumio) Kishida is taking forward the efforts of Shinzo Abe to bring our countries closer. We also heard the video message of Prime Minister Kishida just now. I also greet Prime Minister Kishida and all the citizens of Japan on behalf of India. Friends, I also take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to the people of Gujarat and Haryana, who are continuously giving impetus to the country’s industrial development and ‘Make in India’. The developmental and industrial-oriented policies of the governments of both these states and efforts towards ‘ease of doing business’ are benefiting crores of people of the states and especially the youth. Friends, In this special event, I am reminded of something very old and which is natural. I remember when Suzuki company came to Gujarat to build its manufacturing unit about 13 years ago. At that time, I said – ‘As our Maruti friends drink the water of Gujarat, they will get to know where the perfect model of development’ is. Today, I am happy that Gujarat fulfilled its promise to Suzuki and Suzuki also honored the commitment of Gujarat. Today Gujarat has emerged as the top automotive manufacturing hub not only in the country but all over the world. Friends, Today’s occasion is such that the more I discuss the intimate relationship between Gujarat and Japan, the less it will be. The relationship between Gujarat and Japan has been beyond diplomatic circles. I remember when the Vibrant Gujarat Summit began in 2009, Japan has always been associated with it as a partner country. And it means a lot when there is a state on one side and a developed country on the other and both are supporting each other. Even today, Japan has the highest participation in the Vibrant Gujarat Summit. During my tenure as Chief Minister, I used to often say one thing – ‘I want to create a Mini-Japan in Gujarat’. The idea behind this was that our guests of Japan should have a feeling of Japan in Gujarat. We made efforts so that the people and the companies of Japan should not face any kind of problem here. You can imagine how much attention we used to pay to the little things. Many would probably be surprised to know that the people of Japan can’t live without playing golf. You can’t imagine the Japanese without golf. Now we had nothing to do with the world of golf in Gujarat. So if I want to bring Japan here then I should also start developing golf courses here. I am happy that today there are many golf fields in Gujarat, where our Japanese people who are working here get an opportunity to spend their weekend. There are also many restaurants which specialise Japanese cuisine. We also took care of Japanese food. Many Gujaratis also learned Japanese language so that their friends from Japan do not face any problem and these days there are many Japanese language classes going on in Gujarat. Friends, There has always been seriousness in our efforts and affection for Japan. As a result, more than 125 Japanese companies, including Suzuki, are working in Gujarat. Japanese companies are expanding here from automobiles to bio-fuel. The Ahmedabad Business Support Center established by JETRO has the facility to provide plug and play work-space facilities to many companies simultaneously. Today, there are two Japan-India Institutes for Manufacturing in Gujarat which are training hundreds of youth every year. Many Japanese companies also have tie-ups with technical universities and ITIs of Gujarat. Gujarat can never forget the valuable contribution of Hyogo International Association in the establishment of Zen Garden and Kaizen Academy in Ahmedabad. Now an effort is being made to develop such an eco-friendly garden near the Statue of Unity. Gujarat benefited a lot after it made serious efforts in setting up Kaizen 18-19 years ago. Kaizen certainly has an important role to play behind the development successes of Gujarat. When I moved to Delhi as Prime Minister, I implemented Kaizen’s experiences in the PMO and other departments of the Central Government as well. Now the country is getting more benefits due to Kaizen. We have also made a special arrangement of Japan-Plus in the government. Many old friends from Japan who made this shared journey of Gujarat and Japan memorable are present today in this program. Once again, I congratulate all of you. Friends, Nobody could imagine till a few years ago the way the electric vehicle market in India is growing today. One of the great features of electric vehicles is that they are silent. Be it two or four-wheelers, they don’t make any noise. This silence is not only about its engineering, but it is also the beginning of a silent revolution in the country. Today people are not considering EV as an extra vehicle, but as a major means. The country was also preparing the ground for this change for the last eight years. Today, we are increasingly working on both supply and demand in the electric vehicle ecosystem. The government is giving various incentives to the buyers of electric vehicles, so that the demand increases. From income tax exemption to easy loans, several steps have been taken to increase the demand for electric vehicles. Similarly, rapid efforts are underway to increase the supply through the PLI scheme in automobiles and auto components. The government has taken several steps to accelerate the entire ecosystem of electric vehicles. Battery manufacturing units are also getting a lot of boost through the PLI scheme. The country has also taken several policy decisions to prepare the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Battery swapping policy has been introduced in the 2022 budget. There has been a new beginning on policies like technology sharing. The EV sector is set to move forward with the strength of supply, demand and ecosystem. That is, this silent revolution is ready to make a big change in the near future. Friends, Today, when we talk about issues like EV, it is very important for us to keep our country’s climate commitment and its targets in mind. India has announced in COP-26 that it will achieve 50 percent of its installed electrical capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030. We have set a target of ‘Net Zero’ for 2070. For this, we are preparing to include EV Charging Infrastructure and Grid Scale Battery Systems such as Energy Storage Systems in the harmonized list of infrastructure. At the same time, we also have to move towards alternatives like bio-gas and flex fuel. I am glad that Maruti-Suzuki is also working on various options like Bio-fuel, ethanol blending and Hybrid EV. I suggest that Suzuki can also start projects related to possibilities like Compressed Bio-methane Gas i.e., CBG. Other companies in India are also doing a lot of work in this direction. I would like to have a healthy competition as well as a better environment for mutual learning. This will benefit both the country and the business. Friends, We aim to make India self-reliant for its energy needs in the next 25 years. We know that a large proportion of energy imports today is related to transport. Therefore, innovation and efforts in this direction should be our priority. I am sure the country will definitely fulfill this goal with your cooperation and all the colleagues of the auto sector. We will reach the goal of growth and prosperity at the same pace which is evident in our expressways today. With this spirit, I thank all of you very much and convey my heartfelt wishes to the Suzuki family. I also assure you that the state or the central government will not lag behind anywhere in giving impetus to your dreams of expansion. Thanks a lot!",গুজৰাটৰ গান্ধীনগৰত ভাৰতত চুজুকিৰ ৪০ বছৰ উপলক্ষে আয়োজিত এক অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/we-pay-homage-to-those-greats-who-gave-us-our-constitution-pm/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has paid homage to those greats who gave us the Constitution and reiterated the commitment to fulfil their vision for the nation.

At around 1 PM on 13 December, Prime Minister will visit Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple and offer prayers, after which he will inaugurate phase 1 of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham, constructed at a cost of around Rs 339 crores. It was the vision of the Prime Minister for a long time, to facilitate the pilgrims and devotees of Baba Vishwanath, who had to encounter congested streets and surroundings with poor upkeep, when they practiced the age-old custom of taking dip in the holy river, collecting Gangajal and offering it at the temple. To realise this vision, Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham was conceptualised as a project to create an easily accessible pathway to connect Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple to the banks of the River Ganga. To kickstart the work for this pious endeavour, the foundation stone of the project was laid by the Prime Minister on 8th March 2019. Prime Minister took a keen and active interest at all stages of the project. Regular briefings, reviews and monitoring was done by the Prime Minister himself, and he constantly gave inputs and insights to improve the project and make it more accessible for pilgrims, including for the disabled. The project was designed to provide easy access for the disabled and old age people with provision of ramps, escalators, and other modern facilities. A total of 23 buildings will be inaugurated in the phase 1 of the project. They will provide a variety of facilities to the pilgrims visiting Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, including Yatri Suvidha Kendras, Tourist Facilitation Centre, Vedic Kendra, Mumukshu Bhavan, Bhogshala, City Museum, Viewing Gallery, Food Court, among others. The project involved purchase and acquisitions of more than 300 properties around Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Prime Minister’s vision to take everyone along was the principle based on which mutual negotiations were done for these acquisitions. In this endeavour, the rehabilitation of around 1400 shopkeepers, tenants and homeowners were done amicably. The testimony of the success is the fact that there is no litigation pending in any court of the country regarding acquisitions or rehabilitation related to the development of the project. Prime Minister’s vision was also to ensure that all heritage structures be preserved during the course of development of the project. This foresight came handy when, during the process of destruction of the old properties, more than 40 ancient temples were rediscovered. These temples have been restored and beautified, while ensuring that there is no change in the original structure. The scale of the project was such that the project is now spread over a massive area of about 5 lakh square feet, whereas earlier premises was limited to just around 3000 square feet. Despite the Covid pandemic, the work on the project has been completed as per the planned schedule. During the visit to Varanasi, the Prime Minister will also visit Kaal Bhairav Temple at around 12 noon and witness Ganga Aarti while on board a Ro-Ro Vessel at around 6 PM on 13 December. On 14 December, at around 3:30 PM, Prime Minister will attend the 98th anniversary celebrations of Sadguru Sadafaldeo Vihangam Yog Sansthan at Swarved Mahamandir in Varanasi. During the two-day visit, Prime Minister will also participate in a conclave of Chief Ministers of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, along with Deputy CMs from Bihar and Nagaland. The conclave will provide an opportunity to share governance related best practices and is in line with the Prime Minister’s vision of furthering team India spirit.",প্রধানমন্ত্রীয়ে কাইলৈ বাৰাণসী ভ্ৰমণ কৰি শ্রী কাশী বিশ্বনাথ ধাম উদ্বোধন কৰিব https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-visit-gujarat-and-tamil-nadu-on-28-29-july/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%AE-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%AF-%E0%A6%9C/,"PM to inaugurate and lay foundation stone of multiple projects at Sabar Dairy in Sabarkantha worth more than Rs. 1,000 crores Projects to boost rural economy in the region and help in increasing income of local farmers and milk producers PM to declare 44th Chess Olympiad open Chess Olympiad is being hosted in India for the first time; India is fielding its biggest ever contingent in the Competition PM to attend the 42nd Convocation of Anna University PM to lay foundation stone of IFSCA headquarters at GIFT City in Gandhinagar PM to also launch India’s first International Bullion Exchange – IIBX at GIFT City Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat and Tamil Nadu on 28-29 July, 2022.

The amendments proposed are the same as those contained in the Bill passed by the Lok Sabha on 4th January 2019. Impact:- The amendments would enable UIDAI to have a more robust mechanism to serve the public interest and restrain the misuse of Aadhaar. Subsequent to this amendment, no individual shall be compelled to provide proof of possession of Aadhaar number of undergo authentication for the purpose of establishing his identity unless it is so provided by a law made by Parliament. Salient Features The salient features of the amendments are as follows— Provides for voluntary use of Aadhaar number in physical or electronic form by authentication or offline verification with the consent of Aadhaar number holder; Provides for use of twelve-digit Aadhaar number and its alternative virtual identity to conceal the actual Aadhaar number of an individual; Gives an option to children who are Aadhaar number holders to cancel their Aadhaar number on attaining the age of eighteen years; Permits the entities to perform authentication only when they are compliant with the standards of privacy and security specified by the Authority; and the authentication is permitted under any law made by Parliament or is prescribed to be in the interest of State by the Central Government; Allows the use of Aadhaar number for authentication on voluntary basis as acceptable KYC document under the Telegraph Act, 1885 and the Prevention of Money-laundering Act, 2002. Proposes deletion of section 57 of the Aadhaar Act relating to use of Aadhaar by private entities; Prevents denial of services for refusing to, or being unable to, undergo authentication; Provides for establishment of Unique Identification Authority of India Fund; Provides for civil penalties, its adjudication, appeal thereof in regard to violations of Aadhaar Act and provisions by entities in the Aadhaar ecosystem. Background: The Supreme Court in its judgement dated 26.9.2018 in W.P (civil) No.494 of 2012 and other tagged petitions held Aadhaar to be constitutionally valid. However, it read down/struck down few sections of the Aadhaar Act and Regulations and gave several other directions in the interest of protecting the fundamental rights to privacy. Consequently it was proposed to amend the Aadhaar Act, Indian Telegraph Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in line with the Supreme Court directives and the report of Justice B.N.Srikrishna (Retd.) committee on data protection, in order to ensure that personal data of Aadhaar holder remains protected against any misuse and Aadhaar scheme remains in conformity with the Constitution. Towards this, the Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018 was passed by the Lok Sabha in its sitting held on 4th January, 2019. However, before the same could be considered and passed in the Rajya Sabha, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned sine die.","আধাৰ আৰু অন্যান্য আইন (সংশোধনী) সংক্রান্তীয় অধ্যাদেশ, ২০১৯ লৈ কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-interact-with-indias-contingent-at-the-deaflympics-at-930-am/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A7%AF/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi will interact with India’s contingent at the Deaflympics at 9:30 AM.

The Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Bill, 2018 was introduced in Parliament on 18th July, 2018 and was referred to the SCF, which submitted its Seventieth Report on the said Bill to Parliament on 3rd January, 2019. The official amendments will further strengthen the Bill in its objective to effectively tackle the menace of illicit deposit taking activities in the country, and prevent such schemes from duping poor and gullible people of their hard earned savings. Salient features: • The Bill contains a substantive banning clause which bans Deposit Takers from promoting, operating, issuing advertisements or accepting deposits in any Unregulated Deposit Scheme. The principle is that the Bill would ban unregulated deposit taking activities altogether, by making them an offence ex-ante rather than the existing legislative-cum-regulatory framework which only comes into effect ex-post with considerable time lags; • The Bill creates three different types of offences, namely, running of Unregulated Deposit Schemes, fraudulent default in Regulated Deposit Schemes, and wrongful inducement in relation to Unregulated Deposit Schemes. • The Bill provides for severe punishment and heavy pecuniary fines to act as deterrent. • The Bill has adequate provisions for disgorgement or repayment of deposits in cases where such schemes nonetheless manage to raise deposits illegally. • The Bill provides for attachment of properties / assets by the Competent Authority, and subsequent realization of assets for repayment to depositors; • Clear-cut time lines have been provided for attachment of property and restitution to depositors; • The Bill enables creation of an online central database, for collection and sharing of information on deposit-taking activities in the country; • The Bill defines “Deposit Taker” and “Deposit” comprehensively; • “Deposit Takers” include all possible entities (including individuals) receiving or soliciting deposits, except specific entities such as those incorporated by legislation; • “Deposit” is defined in such a manner that deposit-takers are restricted from camouflaging public deposits as receipts, and at the same time, not to curb or hinder acceptance of money by an establishment in the ordinary course of its business; and • Being a comprehensive Union Law, the Bill adopts best practices from State laws, while entrusting the primary responsibility of implementing the provisions of the legislation to the State Governments. Background: The Finance Minister in the Budget Speech 2016-17 had announced that a comprehensive Central legislation would be brought in to deal with the menace of illicit deposit taking schemes, as in the recent past, there have been rising instances of people in various parts of the country being defrauded by illicit deposit taking schemes. The worst victims of these schemes are the poor and the financially illiterate, and the operations of such schemes are often spread over many States. As per information provided by RBI, during the period between July, 2014 and May, 2018, 978 cases of unauthorized schemes were discussed in State Level Coordination Committee (SLCC) meetings in various States/UTs and were given to the respective regulators/law enforcement agencies in the states. A large number of such instances have been reported from the eastern part of the country. Subsequently, the Finance Minister in the Budget Speech 2017-18 had announced that the draft bill to curtail the menace of illicit deposit schemes had been placed in the public domain and would be introduced shortly after its finalisation. The Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Bill, 2018, which was introduced in Parliament on 18th July, 2018 provides a comprehensive legislation to deal with the menace of illicit deposit schemes in the country through, (a) complete prohibition of unregulated deposit taking activity; (b) deterrent punishment for promoting or operating an unregulated deposit taking scheme; (c) stringent punishment for fraudulent default in repayment to depositors; (d) designation of a Competent Authority by the State Government to ensure repayment of deposits in the event of default by a deposit taking establishment; (e) powers and functions of the competent authority including the power to attach assets of a defaulting establishment; (f) Designation of Courts to oversee repayment of depositors and to try offences under the Act; and (g) listing of Regulated Deposit Schemes in the Bill, with a clause enabling the Central Government to expand or prune the list.","অনিয়ন্ত্রিত সঞ্চয় আঁচনি নিষিদ্ধকৰণ বিধেয়ক, ২০১৮ৰ সংশোধনী প্ৰস্তাৱ কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-loss-of-lives-due-to-mishap-at-a-factory-in-bharuch-gujarat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BE/,"Announces ex-gratia from PMNRF The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the loss of lives due to mishap at a factory in Bharuch, Gujarat.

At the outset, I welcome the investors being the MP from Kashi in Uttar Pradesh. I thank the investors because they have put their trust in the youth power of Uttar Pradesh. The youth power of Uttar Pradesh has the potential to give new flight to your dreams and resolutions. I assure you that the hard work, efforts, ability, understanding and dedication of the youth of Uttar Pradesh will fulfill all your dreams and resolutions. I know that you are very busy, but being the MP of Kashi, I would like you to take some time to visit my Kashi, which has changed a lot. It is a living example of the potential of Uttar Pradesh that such a city in the world can be beautified in a new look while retaining its ancient influence. Friends, Agreements related to investment worth more than 80,000 crore rupees in UP have been signed today. This record investment will create thousands of new employment opportunities in UP. This shows the growing faith in the growth story of India as well as Uttar Pradesh. My special congratulations to the youth of UP for this event, because the youth, the young women, and the new generation of UP are going to get its maximum benefit. Friends, We are currently celebrating the 75th year of our independence, the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom. This period is the ‘Amrit Kaal’ for the next 25 years, for achieving new resolutions and goals with the mantra of ‘Sabka Prayas’ (everyone’s efforts). The present global conditions today have also brought great opportunities for us. The world is looking for a trustworthy partner today and only our democratic India has the potential to live up to it. Today the world is also watching India’s potential and appreciating India’s performance. India did not pause even during the Corona period, but increased the pace of its reforms. All of us can see its result today. We are the fastest growing of the G-20 economies. Today India is at number two in the Global Retail Index. India is the third largest energy consumer country in the world. A record $84 billion FDI came from more than 100 countries in the last year. India has set a new record in the last financial year by exporting merchandise worth more than $ 417 billion i.e. 30 lakh crore rupees. Friends, As a nation, now is the time to multiply our shared efforts manifold. This is a time when we cannot limit our decisions to just one or five years. Everyone’s contribution is necessary to develop a strong manufacturing ecosystem, a strong and diversified value and supply chain in India. The government is making continuous policies and improving old policies on its part. Recently, the NDA government at the Center has completed its eight years. Over the years, we have gone ahead with the mantra of Reform-Perform-Transform as Yogi ji was describing now. We have put emphasis on policy stability, coordination and ease of doing business. In the past, we have abolished thousands of compliances and old laws. We have worked to strengthen India as a nation with our reforms. Be it One Nation-One Tax GST, One Nation-One Grid, One Nation-One Mobility Card, One Nation-One Ration Card, all these efforts are a reflection of our solid and clear policies. Ever since the double engine government was formed, work is being done at a rapid pace in this direction in UP as well. The way the law and order situation has improved, especially in UP, the confidence of the traders has returned and the right environment has been created for business. The administrative capacity and governance have also improved in the last few years. That’s why today people have faith in Yogi ji’s government as the industry colleagues were appreciating Uttar Pradesh on the basis of their experience. I narrate my experience as an MP. We never had seen the administration of Uttar Pradesh closely. The agenda of those attending the Chief Ministers’ meeting used to be different. Since becoming an MP, my belief in the bureaucracy and the administration of Uttar Pradesh has increased manifold because they have the potential which the country expects from them. What the people of the industry were saying, I myself have experienced this potential as an MP. Therefore, I congratulate all the bureaucrats and every official of the government for the change in their outlook. Friends, the people of UP have entrusted a responsibility to their ‘sevak’ by bringing a government back to power after 37 years. Friends, Uttar Pradesh has one fifth or one sixth of India’s population. That is, the betterment of one person from UP will be the betterment of every sixth person in India. I believe that it is UP which will give impetus to the growth story of India in the 21st century. You will see in the next 10 years that Uttar Pradesh is going to become a major driving force of India. Who can stop UP from rapid development where there are hardworking people, where there is a consumer base of more than 16 percent of the total population of the country, where there are more than a dozen cities with a population of more than five lakh, where each district has its own special product, where there are such a large number of MSMEs and small scale industries, where there is abundance of different agricultural products, cereals, fruits, vegetables in different seasons and the state which is blessed with many rivers, including Ganga, Yamuna and Saryu? Friends, We have announced the creation of a chemical-free natural farming corridor within a radius of 5 km on both sides of the Ganges in this year’s budget. Though the defence corridor is discussed quite often, no one talks about this corridor. The length of the Ganges in UP is more than 1100 kilometers long and passes through 25 to 30 districts. You can imagine the huge potential of natural farming in UP. The UP government has also announced its food processing policy a few years back. I would like to urge the corporate world and the people of industry that this is the golden opportunity for investment in agriculture. Friends, Our double engine government is working simultaneously on infrastructure, investment and manufacturing for faster growth. The allocation of unprecedented capital expenditure of Rs 7.50 lakh crore in this year’s budget is a step in this direction. We have announced PLI schemes to promote manufacturing and you will also get their benefits in UP as well. The Defence Corridor being built in UP is also coming up with great possibilities for you. Never before, greater emphasis has been laid on defence manufacturing in India. Under the AatmaNirbhar Bharat campaign, we have made a bold decision and identified 300 items which will not be imported. In other words, there is an assured market available for these 300 products related to military equipment for those who want to come into the field of defence manufacturing. You will also get a lot of benefit from this. Friends, We are modernizing the physical infrastructure to meet the demands of traditional businesses like manufacturing and transportation. Whether it is a modern power grid, a network of gas pipelines or multimodal connectivity, work on all the fronts is happening according to the requirements of the 21st century. It is a record in itself as far the construction of expressways in UP is concerned. A strong network of modern expressways is going to connect all the economic zones of Uttar Pradesh. Soon UP is also going to be recognized as a confluence of modern railway infrastructure. The eastern and western dedicated freight corridors are going to be interconnected in UP. UP’s five international airports, including Jewar, are going to further strengthen the international connectivity here. Two multi- modal logistics transport hubs are also being constructed in Greater Noida and Varanasi. UP is joining the states with the most modern industrial infrastructure in the country as far as logistics is concerned. The increasing connectivity and investment will create many new opportunities for the youth of UP. Friends, Our government has prepared the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan for speedy development of modern infrastructure. The PM GatiShakti Plan is bringing the central government, state governments, different departments and agencies, local institutions, the private sector and business related institutions on a single platform. Every stakeholder associated with any project will get real time information through this platform. Everybody will be able to make a timely plan to complete his part of the work. It will give new dimensions to the culture of timely completion of projects, which has been developed in the country in the last eight years. Friends, Digital revolution is an example of the speed with which India has acted over the years. There were only 6.5 crore broadband subscribers in our country in 2014. Today their number has exceeded 78 crores. In 2014, one GB of data used to cost around Rs 200. Today its price has come down to Rs 11-12. India is one of the countries in the world that has such cheap data. In 2014, the country had 11 lakh km of optical fiber. Now the length of optical fiber laid in the country has crossed 28 lakh km. Optical fiber had reached less than 100 Gram Panchayats in the country till 2014. Today the number of Gram Panchayats connected with optical fiber has also crossed the 1.75 lakh figure. There were only around 90,000 Common Service Centers in the country in 2014. Today, the number of Common Service Centers in the country has also exceeded 4 lakhs. Today, about 40 percent of the world’s digital transactions are done in India. Any Indian would be proud of it. The India which people call illiterate is doing wonders. The foundation that we have strengthened for the digital revolution in the last eight years has resulted in the creation of so many possibilities for different sectors today. Our youth have hugely benefited from this. We had only a few hundred start-ups before 2014. But today the number of registered start-ups in the country is also reaching around 70,000. More recently, India has also made a record of 100 unicorns. You will benefit greatly from the digital infrastructure needed to meet the demands of our new economy. Friends, I assure you that we will continue to carry out reforms needed in whatever sector for the development of UP and self-reliant India. We are with development in matters of policy, decisions, intention and nature. We will support your every endeavor and step. Become part of the development journey of Uttar Pradesh with full enthusiasm and your future will also become bright along with the future of Uttar Pradesh. This is a win-win situation. May these investments be auspicious and beneficial for all! With this wish, all the very best to all of you!

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister highlighted that the organisation of this conclave is a clear example of Sabka Prayas. The Prime Minister remarked “Science is like that energy in the development of 21st century India, which has the power to accelerate the development of every region and the development of every state. Today, when India is moving towards leading the fourth industrial revolution, the role of India’s science and people related to this field is very important.

And, it is with this inspiration, that today’s new India is moving forward with Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan as well as Jai Anusandhan. Commenting on the lessons that we can learn from history that will help both the centre and the states, the Prime Minister said if we remember the early decades of the last century, we find how the world was going through a period of devastation and tragedy. But even in that era, whether it was about the East or the West, scientists everywhere were engaged in their great discovery. In the West, scientists like Einstein, Fermi, Max Planck, Niels Bohr, and Tesla were dazzling the world with their experiments. In the same period, many scientists including CV Raman, Jagdish Chandra Bose, Satyendranath Bose, Meghnad Saha, and S Chandrashekhar were bringing their new discoveries to the fore. The Prime Minister underlined the difference between the East and West as we were not giving due recognition to the work of our scientists. The Prime Minister pointed out that when we celebrate the achievements of our scientists, science becomes part of our society, it becomes part of the culture. Shri Modi also requested everybody to celebrate the achievements of the scientists of our country. “Scientists”, the Prime Minister said, “are giving ample reasons to the country to celebrate them.” He lauded the role of Indian scientists in developing the Corona vaccine and contributing to the world’s biggest vaccine drive. The Prime Minister reiterated that the government is working with the thinking of Science-Based Development. “Since 2014, there has been a substantial increase in investment in the field of science and technology. Due to the efforts of the government, today India is ranked 46th in the Global Innovation Index, whereas in 2015, India was at number 81”, the Prime Minister added. He acknowledged the record number of patents being registered in the country. He also noted the climate of innovation and a vibrant startup ecosystem. The Prime Minister pointed out that “inclination for science, technology and innovation is in the DNA of our young generation. We need to support this young generation with full strength.” The Prime Minister listed new sectors and missions in the field of research and innovation to support the innovative spirit of the youth. He gave examples of Space Mission, National Supercomputing Mission, semiconductor mission, Mission Hydrogen and drone technology. Similarly, NEP is promoting this by providing Science and technology education in the mother tongue. The Prime Minister highlighted that in order to make India a global centre of research and innovation in this Amrit Kaal, we have to work on many fronts simultaneously. He stressed the need to take science and technology-related research to the local level. He asked states to promote research and innovation as per their local needs. The Prime Minister remarked that innovation can be encouraged by laying emphasis on the creation of more and more scientific institutions and simplification of processes by the state governments. He further added that the number of innovation labs should also be increased in the institutions of higher education in the states. He also asked every state to lay down modern policy regarding Science, innovation and technology. “As governments, we have to more and more cooperate and collaborate with our scientists, this will create an atmosphere of a scientific modernity” The Prime Minister stressed that the states should take full advantage of the ability and expertise of many national-level scientific institutes, and national laboratories that are present. “We also have to take our science-related institutions out of the state of silos for optimum utilisation of scientific institutions and expertise”, the Prime Minister added. He asked for science promotion events at the grassroots level. He also advised the state Science Ministers to share good practices and aspects of their science curriculum. In concluding the address, the Prime Minister expressed the belief that the ‘State-Centre Science Conclave’ will add a new dimension and resolve toward the progress of Science in the country. The Prime Minister also urged everyone to not let any opportunity slip in the field of science and technology. “The coming 25 years are the most important years for India as it will determine the new identity and strength of India to come”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister also urged the participants to take the learnings from this conclave to their states and contribute toward nation-building. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel and Union Minister of State of Science and Technology, Dr Jitendra Singh were those present on the occasion. Background In line with the Prime Minister’s relentless efforts to facilitate innovation and entrepreneurship in the country, the first-of-its-kind Conclave will strengthen Centre-State coordination and collaboration mechanisms – in the spirit of cooperative federalism – to build a robust science, technology & innovation (STI) ecosystem across the country.

Defence Ministers, Mr. John Chipman, Dignitaries and Excellencies, Namaskar and a very good evening to all of you! I am pleased to return to a region, known to India since ancient times as Swarnabhoomi, (the land of gold). I am also happy to be here in a special year. In a land-mark year of India’s relationship with ASEAN. In January, we had the unique honour of hosting ten ASEAN leaders on our Republic Day. The ASEAN-India Summit was a testimony of our commitment to ASEAN, and to our Act East policy. For thousands of years, Indians have turned to the East. Not just to see the Sun rise, but also to pray for its light to spread over the entire world. The human-kind now looks to the Rising East, with the hope to see the promise that this 21st century beholds for the whole world, because the destiny of the world will be deeply influenced by the course of developments in the Indo-Pacific region. Because, this new age of promise is also caught in shifting plates of global politics and the fault lines of history. I am here to say that the future we seek does not have to be as elusive as Shangri La; that we can shape this region in our collective hopes and aspirations. No where is it more apt to pursue this than in Singapore.This great nation shows us that when the oceans are open, the seas are secure, countries are connected, the rule of law prevails and the region is stable, nations, small and large, prosper as sovereign countries. Free and fearless in their choices. Singapore also shows that when nations stand on the side of principles, not behind one power or the other, they earn the respect of the world and a voice in international affairs. And, when they embrace diversity at home, they seek an inclusive world outside. For India, though, Singapore means more. It’s the spirit that unites a lion nation and a lion city.Singapore is our springboard to ASEAN. It has been, for centuries, a gateway for India to the East.For over two thousand years, the winds of monsoons, the currents of seas and the force of human aspirations have built timeless links between India and this region. It was cast in peace and friendship, religion and culture, art and commerce, language and literature. These human links have lasted, even as the tides of politics and trade saw their ebb and flow. Over the past three decades, we have re-claimed that heritage to restore our role and relationships in the region. For India, no region now receives as much attention as this. And, for good reasons. Oceans had an important place in Indian thinking since pre-Vedic times. Thousands of years ago, the Indus Valley Civilisation as well as Indian peninsula had maritime trade. Oceans and Varuna – the Lord of all Waters – find a prominent place in the world’s oldest books- the Vedas. In ancient Puranas, written thousands of years ago, the geographical definition of India is with reference to the seas: Uttaron Yat Samudrasya meaning, the land which lies to the north of the seas. Lothal, in my home state Gujarat, was among the world’s oldest ports. Even today there are remains of a dock. No wonder Gujaratis are enterprising and travel widely even today! The Indian Ocean has shaped much of India’s history. It now holds the key to our future. The ocean carries 90% of India’s trade and our energy sources. It is also the life line of global commerce. The Indian Ocean connects regions of diverse cultures and different levels of peace and prosperity. It also now bears ships of major powers. Both raise concerns of stability and contest. To the East, the Malacca Strait and South China Sea connect India to the Pacific and to most of our major partners – ASEAN, Japan, Republic of Korea, China and the Americas. Our trade in the region is growing rapidly. And, a significant part of our overseas investments flow in this direction. ASEAN alone accounts for over 20%. Our interests in the region are vast, and our engagement is deep. In the Indian Ocean region, our relationships are becoming stronger. We are also helping build economic capabilities and improve maritime security for our friends and partners. We promote collective security through forums like Indian Ocean Naval Symposium. We are advancing a comprehensive agenda of regional co-operation through Indian Ocean Rim Association. And, we also work with partners beyond the Indian Ocean Region to ensure that the global transit routes remain peaceful and free for all. Three years ago, in Mauritius, I described our vision in one word – Sagar, which means ocean in Hindi. And, Sagar stands for Security and Growth for All in the Region and, that is the creed we follow to our East now even more vigorously through our Act East Policy by seeking to join India, especially her East and North-East, with our land and maritime partners to the east. South-east Asia is our neighbour by land and sea. With each Southeast Asian country, we have growing political, economic and defence ties. With ASEAN, from dialogue partners, we have become strategic partners over the course of 25 years. We pursue our relations through annual summits and 30 dialogue mechanisms. But even more through a shared vision for the region, and the comfort and familiarity of our old links. We are active participants in ASEAN-led institutions like East Asia Summit, A.D.M.M. Plus and A.R.F. We are part of BIMSTEC and Mekong-Ganga Economic Corridor – a bridge between South and Southeast Asia. Our ties with Japan – from economic to strategic – have been completely transformed. It is a partnership of great substance and purpose that is a corner-stone of India’s Act East Policy. There is a strong momentum in our cooperation with Republic of Korea. And, there is a fresh energy in our partnerships with Australia, as also New Zealand. With several of our partners, we meet in formats of three or more. More than three years ago, I landed at dawn in Fiji to start a successful new phase of engagement with Pacific Island Nations. The meetings of the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation, or FIPIC, have bridged the distance of geography through shared interests and action. Beyond East and Southeast Asia, our partnerships are strong and growing. It is a measure of our strategic autonomy that India’s Strategic Partnership, with Russia, has matured to be special and privileged. Ten days ago in an informal summit at Sochi, President Putin and I shared our views on the need for a strong multi-polar world order for dealing with the challenges of our times. At the same time, India’s global strategic partnership with the United States has overcome the hesitations of history and continues to deepen across the extraordinary breadth of our relationship. It has assumed new significance in the changing world. And, an important pillar of this partnership is our shared vision of an open, stable, secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific Region. No other relationship of India has as many layers as our relations with China. We are the world’s two most populous countries and among the fastest growing major economies. Our cooperation is expanding. Trade is growing. And, we have displayed maturity and wisdom in managing issues and ensuring a peaceful border. In April, a two-day informal Summit with President Xi helped us cement our understanding that strong and stable relations between our two nations are an important factor for global peace and progress. I firmly believe that, Asia and the world will have a better future when India and China work together in trust and confidence, sensitive to each other’s interests. India has a growing partnership with Africa, propelled through mechanisms such as India-Africa Forum Summits. At its core are cooperation based on Africa’s requirements, and a history of warmth and mutual respect. Friends, Coming back to our region, India’s growing engagement is accompanied by deeper economic and defence cooperation. We have more trade agreements in this part of the world than in any other. We have Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements with Singapore, Japan and South Korea. We have Free Trade Agreements with ASEAN and Thailand. And, we are now actively participating in concluding the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. I have just paid my first visit to Indonesia, India’s neighbour 90 nautical miles close, and not 90 nautical miles apart. My friend President Widodo and I upgraded India-Indonesia relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Among other shared interests, we have a common vision for maritime cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. On way from Indonesia, I stopped over briefly in Malaysia to meet one of ASEAN’s most senior leaders, Prime Minister Mahathir. Friends, India Armed Forces, especially our Navy, are building partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region for peace and security, as well as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. They train, exercise and conduct goodwill missions across the region. For example, with Singapore, we have the longest un-interrupted naval exercise, which is in its twenty fifth year now. We will start a new tri-lateral exercise with Singapore soon and we hope to extend it to other ASEAN countries. We work with partners like Vietnam to build mutual capabilities. India conducts Malabar Exercise with the United States and Japan. A number of regional partners join in India’s Exercise Milan in the Indian Ocean, and participate in RIMPAC in the Pacific. We are active in the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia – in this very city. Distinguished members of the audience, Back home, our principal mission is transforming India to a New India by 2022, when Independent India will be 75 years young. We will sustain growth of 7.5 to 8% per year. As our economy grows, our global and regional integration will increase. A nation of over 800 million youth knows that their future will be secured not just by the scale of India’s economy, but also by the depth of global engagement. More than any where else, our ties will deepen and our presence will grow in the region. But, the future we seek to build needs a stable bedrock of peace. And, this is far from certain. There are shifts in global power, change in the character of global economy and daily disruption in technology. The foundations of the global order appear shaken. And, the future looks less certain. For all our progress, we live on the edge of uncertainty, of unsettled questions and unresolved disputes; contests and claims; and clashing visions and competing models. We see growing mutual insecurity and rising military expenditure; internal dislocations turning into external tensions; and new fault lines in trade and competition in the global commons. Above all, we see assertion of power over re-course to international norms. In the midst of all this, there are challenges that touch us all, including the un-ending threat of terrorism and extremism. This is a world of inter-dependent fortunes and failures. And, no nation can shape and secure it on its own. It is a world that summons us to rise above divisions and competition to work together. Is that possible? Yes. It is possible. I see ASEAN as an example and inspiration. ASEAN represents the greatest level of diversity of culture, religion, language, governance and prosperity of any grouping in the world. It was born when Southeast Asia was a frontline of global competition, a theatre of a brutal war and a region of uncertain nations. Yet, today, ASEAN has united ten countries behind a common purpose. ASEAN unity is essential for a stable future for this region. And, each of us must support it, not weaken it. I have attended four East Asia Summits. I am convinced that ASEAN can integrate the broader region. In many ways, ASEAN is already leading the process. In doing so, it has laid the foundation of the Indo-Pacific Region. The East Asia Summit and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership – two important initiatives of ASEAN – embrace this geography. Friends, The Indo-Pacific is a natural region. It is also home to a vast array of global opportunities and challenges. I am increasingly convinced with each passing day that the destinies of those of us who live in the region are linked. Today, we are being called to rise above divisions and competition to work together. The ten countries of South East Asia connect the two great oceans in both the geographical and civilizational sense. Inclusiveness, openness and ASEAN centrality and unity, therefore, lie at the heart of the new Indo-Pacific. India does not see the Indo-Pacific Region as a strategy or as a club of limited members. Nor as a grouping that seeks to dominate. And by no means do we consider it as directed against any country. A geographical definition, as such, cannot be. India’s vision for the Indo-Pacific Region is, therefore, a positive one. And, it has many elements. One, It stands for a free, open, inclusive region, which embraces us all in a common pursuit of progress and prosperity. It includes all nations in this geography as also others beyond who have a stake in it. Two, Southeast Asia is at its centre. And, ASEAN has been and will be central to its future. That is the vision that will always guide India, as we seek to cooperate for an architecture for peace and security in this region. Three, We believe that our common prosperity and security require us to evolve, through dialogue, a common rules-based order for the region. And, it must equally apply to all individually as well as to the global commons. Such an order must believe in sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as equality of all nations, irrespective of size and strength. These rules and norms should be based on the consent of all, not on the power of the few. This must be based on faith in dialogue, and not dependence on force. It also means that when nations make international commitments, they must uphold them. This is the foundation of India’s faith in multilateralism and regionalism; and, of our principled commitment to rule of law. Four, We should all have equal access as a right under international law to the use of common spaces on sea and in the air that would require freedom of navigation, unimpeded commerce and peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with international law. When we all agree to live by that code, our sea lanes will be pathways to prosperity and corridors of peace. We will also be able to come together to prevent maritime crimes, preserve marine ecology, protect against disasters and prosper from blue economy. Five, This region, and all of us, have benefitted from globalisation. Indian food is among the best examples of these benefits! But, there is growing protectionism – in goods and in services. Solutions cannot be found behind walls of protection, but in embracing change. What we seek is a level playing field for all. India stands for open and stable international trade regime. We will also support rule-based, open, balanced and stable trade environment in the Indo-Pacific Region, which lifts up all nations on the tide of trade and investment. That is what we expect from Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. RCEP must be comprehensive, as the name suggests, and the principles declared. It must have a balance among trade, investment and services. Six, Connectivity is vital. It does more than enhance trade and prosperity. It unites a region. India has been at the crossroads for centuries. We understand the benefits of connectivity. There are many connectivity initiatives in the region. If these have to succeed, we must not only build infrastructure, we must also build bridges of trust. And for that, these initiatives must be based on respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, consultation, good governance, transparency, viability and sustainability. They must empower nations, not place them under impossible debt burden. They must promote trade, not strategic competition. On these principles, we are prepared to work with everyone. India is doing its part, by itself and in partnership with others like Japan – in South Asia and Southeast Asia, in the Indian Ocean, Africa, West Asia and beyond. And, we are important stake-holders in New Development Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Finally, All of this is possible, if we do not return to the age of great power rivalries I have said this before: Asia of rivalry will hold us all back. Asia of cooperation will shape this century. So, each nation must ask itself: Are its choices building a more united world, or forcing new divisions? It is a responsibility that both existing and rising powers have. Competition is normal. But, contests must not turn into conflict; differences must not be allowed to become disputes. Distinguished members of the audience, It is normal to have partnerships on the basis of shared values and interests. India, too, has many in the region and beyond. We will work with them, individually or in formats of three or more, for a stable and peaceful region. But, our friendships are not alliances of containment. We choose the side of principles and values, of peace and progress, not one side of a divide or the other. Our relationships across the world speak for our position. And, when we can work together, we will be able to meet the real challenges of our times. We will be able to protect our planet. We will be able to ensure non-proliferation We will be able to secure our people from terrorism and cyber threats. In conclusion, let me say this again: India’s own engagement in the Indo-Pacific Region – from the shores of Africa to that of the Americas – will be inclusive. We are in-heritors of Vedanta philosophy that believes in essential oneness of all, and celebrates unity in diversity Ekam Satyam, Viprah Bahudavadanti (Truth is one, the learned speak of it in many ways). That is the foundation of our civilizational ethos – of pluralism, co-existence, open-ness and dialogue. The ideals of democracy that define us as a nation also shape the way we engage the world. So, it translates into five S in Hindi: Samman (respect); Samvad (dialogue); Sahayog (cooperation), Shanti (peace), and Samriddhi (prosperity). It’s easy to learn these words! So, we will engage with the world in peace, with respect, through dialogue and absolute commitment to international law. We will promote a democratic and rules-based international order, in which all nations, small and large, thrive as equal and sovereign We will work with others to keep our seas, space and airways free and open; our nations secure from terrorism; and our cyber space free from disruption and conflict. We will keep our economy open and our engagement transparent. We will share our resources, markets and prosperity with our friends and partners. We will seek a sustainable future for our planet, as through the new International Solar Alliance together with France and other partners. This is how we wish ourselves and our partners to proceed in this vast region and beyond. The ancient wisdom of the region is our common heritage. Lord Buddha’s message of peace and compassion has connected us all. Together, we have contributed much to human civilisation. And, we have been through the devastation of war and the hope of peace. We have seen the limits of power. And, we have seen the fruits of cooperation. This world is at a crossroad there are temptations of the worst lessons of history. But, there is also a path of wisdom. It summons us to a higher purpose: to rise above a narrow view of our interests and recognise that each of us can serve our interests better when we work together as equals in the larger good of all nations. I am here to urge all to take that path. Thank you. Thank you very much.",ছাংগ্ৰী-লা ডায়েলগত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী মোদীৰ ভাষণৰ লিখিত ৰূপ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-the-mou-signed-on-mutual-recognition-of-academic-qualifications-between-india-and-the-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-and-northern-ireland/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A4/,"The Union Cabinet in its meeting held on 07.09.2022 chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi granted ex post facto approval for the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Republic of India and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on mutual recognition of academic qualifications signed on 25.04.2022.

It also showcases various artefacts related to Subhas Chandra Bose and INA. The artefacts include wooden chair and sword used by Netaji, medals, badges, uniforms and other artefacts related to INA. The tradition of inaugurating landmark structures for which foundation stone is laid by the PM Modi holds good here as well. PM laid the Foundation stone of the museum on October 21, 2018. It marked the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of Azad Hind Government, formed by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Holding aloft the values of freedom, Prime Minister hoisted the National Flag at Red Fort, to commemorate the occasion. An award in the name of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, was announced by the PM Narendra Modi to honour those involved in disaster response operations.The occasion was the dedication of National Police Memorial to the nation, on 21 October 2018. The values and ideals of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and INA were once again brought to the fore by PM in Andaman & Nicobar Islands, on 30 December 2018. He released a commemorative postal stamp, coin, and First Day Cover, to mark the 75th anniversary of the hoisting of Tricolour on Indian soil by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. He recalled how on Netaji’s call, many youths from the Andaman had dedicated themselves to the freedom of India. The flag on the 150 feet high mast, is an attempt to preserve the memory of the day in 1943, when Netaji unfurled the tricolour. As a mark of respect to Netaji, Ross Island had been named as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep. Earlier in October 2015, family members of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had met PM and requested for declassification of the files relating to Netaji, available with the Government of India. Digital copies of 100 Netaji Files were released by the PM in January 2018 in public domain at National Archives of India.

I congratulate all of you very much for these projects that will increase Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business. We Indians have taken a colossal resolution to build a developed India in the next 25 years of the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. Modern infrastructure has an important role in this roadmap of developed India. Today another big step has been taken for a developed India from this great land of Kerala. Friends, I remember I had the opportunity to inaugurate the Aluva-Palarivattom section of Kochi Metro in June 2017. Kochi Metro Phase-One Extension has been inaugurated today. Also, the foundation stone for the second phase of Kochi Metro has also been laid. The second phase of Kochi Metro will run from J.L.N. Stadium to Infopark. This will also connect SEZ Kochi Smart City with Kakkanad. That is, the second phase of Kochi Metro will prove to be a huge boon for our youth and professionals. This project in Kochi will give a new direction to the urban and transport development of the entire country. The Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority in Kochi has also been implemented. This authority will work to integrate all modes of transport like metro, bus, waterways, etc. With this model of multi-modal connectivity, the city of Kochi will have three direct benefits. This will reduce the travel time of the people of the city, reduce the traffic on the roads and also reduce the pollution in the city. It will also help in meeting the colossal pledge of net zero that India has taken to protect the environment as it will reduce the carbon footprint. In the last eight years, the Central Government has continuously worked to make Metro the most prominent mode of urban transport. The Central Government has expanded the metro network from the capital to other major cities of the state. The first metro train ran in our country about 40 years ago. In the subsequent 30 years, less than 250 km of metro network was ready in the country. In the last eight years, new routes of more than 500 km of metro have been prepared in the country and work is underway for more than 1000 kms of metro route. We are completely transforming Indian Railways. Today, railway stations in the country are also being developed like airports. Among the projects gifted to Kerala today, there is also a plan to redevelop three major railway stations of Kerala of international standard. Now modern facilities will also be developed at Ernakulam Town Station, Ernakulam Junction and Kollam Station. Kerala’s rail connectivity is reaching a new milestone today. The entire rail route from Thiruvananthapuram to Mangaluru has been doubled. This is a great convenience for the general travelers as well as the devotees of Kerala. The doubling of the Ettumanoor-Chingavanam-Kottayam track will greatly facilitate the ‘darshan’ of Lord Ayyappa. This was a long-standing demand of lakhs of devotees, which has now been fulfilled. It is a joyous occasion for devotees from across the country and the world who wish to visit Sabarimala. The electrification of the Kollam-Punalur section will enable pollution-free and faster rail travel across the region. Besides the convenience of the local people, this will also increase the attraction of this popular tourist destination. Several infrastructure projects worth about Rs 1 lakh crore are currently underway in Kerala. These modern infrastructure projects will create new employment opportunities in Kerala and will energize agriculture and industries. The Central Government is laying a lot of emphasis on the connectivity of Kerala. Our government is also converting National Highway-66, which is called the lifeline of Kerala, into six lanes. More than Rs 55,000 crore is being spent on this. Tourism and trade get huge benefits from modern and better connectivity. Tourism is such an industry which helps everybody, including the poor, middle class, villages and cities. The development of tourism in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence will greatly help in the development of the country. The Central Government is also encouraging entrepreneurship in the tourism sector. Loans without guarantee up to Rs 10 lakh are available under the Mudra Yojana. Under this scheme, financial help of more than 70,000 crore rupees has been given to lakhs of small entrepreneurs in Kerala and many of them are in the tourism sector. The specialty of the people of Kerala is that care and concern are part of the society’s life. A few days ago, I got the opportunity to inaugurate Maa Amritanandamayi ji’s Amrita Hospital in Haryana. I was also blessed by Amritanandamayi Amma who is full of compassion. I express my gratitude to her once again from the soil of Kerala. Friends, our government is developing the country by working on the basic mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. With this wish that together we will strengthen the path of a developed India in this ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. Once again many congratulations to all of you on the development projects. Once again, Happy Onam to all of you.

Details are as follows: ‘In principle’ approval has been accorded for sale of enemy shares under the Custody of Ministry of Home Affairs/ Custodian of Enemy Property of India (CEPI), as per sub-section 1 of section 8A of the Enemy Property Act, 1968. Department of Investment and Public Asset Management has been authorized under the provisions of sub-section 7 of section 8A of the Enemy Property Act, 1968, to sell the same. Sale proceeds are to be deposited as disinvestment proceeds in the Government Account maintained by Ministry of Finance. Details: A total number of 6,50,75,877 shares in 996 companies of 20,323 shareholders are under the custody of CEPI. Of these 996 companies, 588 are functional/ active companies, 139 of these are listed with remaining being unlisted. The process for selling these shares is to be approved by the Alternative Mechanism (AM) under the Chairmanship of Finance Minister and comprising Minister of Road Transport and Highway and Home Minister. The AM will be supported by a High Level Committee (HLC) of officers co-chaired by the Secretary, DIPAM and Secretary, MHA (with representatives from DEA, DLA, M/o Corporate Affairs and CEPI) that would give its recommendations with regard to quantum, price/price-band, principles/ mechanisms for sale of shares, etc. Before initiation of sale of any Enemy Shares, the CEPI shall certify that the sale of the Enemy Shares is not in contravention of any judgment, decree or order of any court, tribunal or other authority or any law for the time being in force and can be disposed off by the Government. The advisors/ intermediaries like Merchant Bankers, Legal Adviser, Selling Brokers etc. as may be required for the disposal of movable enemy property, will be appointed by DIPAM through an open tender/limited tender process. An Inter-Ministerial Group (IMG) will guide the process of sale. In the Act of 1968, the definition of “enemy” was as follows: “enemy” or “enemy subject” or “enemy firm” means a person or country who or which was an enemy, an enemy subject or an enemy firm, as the case may be, under the Defence of India Act and Rules, but does not include a citizen of India. In the amendment of 2017, this was substituted by “…. including his legal heir or successor, whether or not citizen of India or the citizen of a country which is not an enemy or the enemy….. who has changed his nationality”. Impact: The decision will lead to monetization of enemy shares that had been lying dormant for decades since coming into force and the Enemy Property Act in 1968. With the amendment of 2017, an enabling legislative provision was created for the disposal of enemy property. With the approval, now, of the procedure and mechanism for sale of enemy shares an enabling framework has been institutionalized for their sale. Major Impact: The decision will lead to monetization of movable enemy property lying dormant for decades. Sale proceeds from this may be used for development and social welfare programmes. Background: The Enemy Property Act, 1968 provides for continued vesting of enemy property vested in the CEPI under the Defence of India Rules, 1962 and the Defence of India Rules, 1971, (w.e.f. 27.09.1997). In 2017, through an amendment to this Act, vide Section 8A, the CEPI has been empowered for sale of enemy property. Further, “ Notwithstanding anything contained in any judgment, decree or order of any court, tribunal or other authority or any law for the time being in force, the Custodian may, within such time as may be specified by the Central Government in this behalf, dispose of whether by sale or otherwise, as the case may be, with prior approval of the Central Government, by general or special order, enemy properties vested in him immediately before the date of commencement of the Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2017 in accordance with the provisions of this Act, as amended by the Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2017”. According to amendment, as in sub-section 7 of section 8A of the Enemy Property Act, 1968, Central Government may direct that disposal of enemy property shall be made by any other authority or Ministry or Department instead of Custodian.",শত্রু সম্পত্তিৰ অংশ বিক্রীৰ বাবে নীতি-নিয়ম আৰু ব্যৱস্থাৰ ৰূপৰেখা গঠনত অনুমোদন কেবিনেটৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-empowers-the-board-of-directors-of-the-holding-parent-public-sector-enterprises-to-recommend-and-undertake-the-process-for-disinvestment-closure-of-their-subsidiaries-units-stake-in-jv/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE/,"The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved the proposal for empowering the Board of Directors of the Holding / Parent Public Sector Enterprises to recommend and undertake the process for Disinvestment (both strategic disinvestment and minority stake sale) or closure of any of their subsidiaries / units / stake in JVs. The Cabinet has also empowered Alternative Mechanism to accord ‘in principle’ approval for disinvestment (both strategic disinvestment and minority take sale) / closure of subsidiaries / units /sale of stakes in JVs of Holding / Parent PSEs [except the disinvestment (minority stake sale) of Maharatna PSEs which was delegated to them and review the process of disinvestment / closure by Parent / Holding PSEs. The process for undertaking the strategic disinvestment transactions / closures to be followed by the PSEs should be open, based on the principles of competitive bidding and consistent with the guiding principles to be laid down. For strategic disinvestment, such guiding principles will be laid down by DIPAM. For closure, DPE shall issue guiding principles. Presently, the Board of Directors of Holding / Parent PSEs have been delegated certain powers under the Maharatna, Navratna and Miniratna categories to make equity investment to establish financial joint ventures and wholly-owned subsidiaries and undertake mergers / acquisitions subject to certain ceilings of net-worth. However, the Boards do not have powers for disinvestment / closure of their subsidiaries / units/ stake in JVs, except some limited powers given to Maharatna PSEs for minority stake disinvestment of shareholding in their subsidiaries. Therefore, approval of the Cabinet / CCEA was needed by Holding / Parent CPSEs, for disinvestment (both strategic disinvestment and minority stake sale) / closure of their subsidiaries / units or sale of their stakes in a JV, irrespective of the size of operations / capital deployed of such subsidiaries, etc. In line with the spirit of the new PSE policy, 2021 to minimize presence of Government PSEs and for functional requirement, further delegation in this matter have been provided through this decision. The proposal intends to reform the functioning of PSEs, by allowing greater autonomy to the Board of Directors of the Holding PSEs for taking decisions and recommend for timely existing from their investment in Subsidiaries / Units or JVs, which will enable them to monetize their investment in such subsidiaries/units/JVs at an opportune time or close their loss-making and inefficient subsidiary/unit/JV at right time.

He appreciated the India Today Group for the awareness spread by them about the Swachh Bharat Mission. Reflecting on his tenure so far, as Prime Minister, he said that his relative lack of experience at the national level turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Taking the example of apprehensions that were expressed with regard to conduct of foreign policy, he said that the events of the last few days would have set at rest doubts in this regard. He asserted that today’s India is a New India and a different India. He said the life of every soldier is precious, and today no one can mess with India. He said the Government is committed to taking every decision in national interest. He said certain elements both inside and outside the country, who are against the country, are fearful of this unity seen in India. He added that this fear, is actually good. He said enemies are fearful of India’s valour, and the corrupt are fearful of the law, and this fear is good. He said New India is marching ahead, confident of its abilities and resources. He questioned the stance of those, who doubt the intentions of the Government and the Armed Forces. He said that in opposing Narendra Modi, these people have started opposing India as well, and are harming the country. He said such people doubt the Indian Armed Forces, but trust those who foment terrorism in India. Specifically, he said that India felt the absence of the Rafale fighter jet recently, over which a lot of politics has been played. He strongly criticized those whose actions adversely affect national security. He said that those who ruled the nation for many years had interests in two things – doles and deals. He said that the biggest sufferers of this approach were our Jawans and Kisans. He said that the defence sector suffered because of the deals made by some, while agriculture suffered because there was no concrete policy beyond doles. These doles were given so that the poor remain poor and remain at the mercy of the political class, he added. The best example of this is the farm loan waivers, he said. He explained that the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, a comprehensive scheme for farmer welfare, is part of the Government’s different approach to empower farmers. It was launched within 24 days of announcement, he added. He explained that fifty five months of his Government, and the fifty five years of the others have given two contrasting approaches to governance. They had a ‘token approach’, we have a ‘total approach,’ he said. In this context, he mentioned initiatives taken in the areas of One Rank One Pension for the Armed Forces; financial inclusion for the poor; clean cooking fuel (Ujjwala Yojana); Power for all; and Housing for all. He asked a series of questions, such as why India was not Open Defecation Free till now; why there was no War Memorial or Police Memorial built for so many decades, etc. He said India is today removing poverty at a rapid rate, and is the fastest growing large economy. He explained how Infrastructure is being built at a rapid rate. He said that his Government believes in combining Acts (laws or initiatives) with Action. He said the period from 2014 to 2019, was to fulfil basic necessities for all; while the period from 2019 onwards is the period of fulfilling aspirations and achieving new heights of progress.",ইণ্ডিয়া টুডে কনক্লেভত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-bows-to-gurudev-tagore-on-his-jayanti-2/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A7%B1-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has paid tributes to Gurudev Tagore on his Jayanti.

Of late, News of abundant rainfall has been steadily coming in. At places, we are hearing of rising concerns on account of excessive showers; at some places, people are anxiously waiting for the rains to begin. The vastness and diversity of India, in fact, at times even rains play hide & seek through partiality laced likes & dislikes. But why should we blame the rains! After all it was humankind that chose the path of conflict with Nature and consequently earnt her periodic wrath. And that is why it becomes our collective responsibility… Let us be lovers of nature, protectors of Nature, conservers of Nature… and thus, ensure spontaneous balance in her myriad bounty. Come to think of it, recently an incident pertaining to a natural disaster attracted global attention, leaving every heart & mind perturbed. All of you must have watched it on T.V… in Thailand a team of 12 teenaged football players and their coach went on an excursion to a cave. Usually it takes a few hours to enter and exit that cave. But destiny had different plans that day. Barely had they entered deep into the cave that a sudden heavy downpour caused water logging at the inlet of the cave. Their exit was completely blocked. Not able to find a way out, they perched themselves a top a mound inside the cave; not for a day or two, but an entire 18 days. One can only imagine the predicament of these teenagers in the face of death, where every second was fraught with danger. On the one hand they were struggling against all odds; on the other, the world over, humanity joined hands in expressing the noblest & the most righteous of human virtues. The world over, people prayed for the safe & secure exit of these children. No stone was left unturned to trace their where abouts, their well-being and their rescue. Their timely evacuation was of a prime concern, since the heavy monsoon would have delayed rescue-attempts by a few months. Anyway, the good news of their safe exit spread a sigh of relief, a sense of inner calm. But I feel like viewing the entire sequence of events from another perspective, i.e, how the operation was conducted! The sense of responsibility & commitment, prevailing at every level was astonishing. The government, their parents, family members, media, citizens of that country, each one of them displayed an awe-inspiring sense of peace and patience. All of them came together as a team to accomplish their mission. I feel the self-control exercised by each one of them in conduct is worth understanding and emulating. It is not that the parents were not aggrieved, it is not that the mothers’ eyes had ceased to be moist. Their patience, their restraint, in fact the calm composure exercised by the entire society is commendable & worth following. During the operation, a sailor from Thailand Navy sacrificed his life. The whole world is be wildered at the way they held on with courage and patience, without losing hope, despite the odds against them in the water-logged dark cave. This proves that when humanity stands together, it creates wonders. What is certainly required is focusing on your goal with a calm & steady demeanour and the will to strive. A few days ago, the country’s beloved poet Neeraj Ji left us forever. Neeraj ji was blessed with a special quality… it was a combination of hope, faith, a firm resolve and self-confidence. Every word of Neeraj ji’s work can instill a lot of strength & inspiration in us Indians. He wrote The darkness shall be dispelled Whether you brew up storms Or make lightening strike Now that the lamp has been lit The darkness shall be dispelled My heartfelt respectful tributes to Neeraj ji. Usually, the months of July and August are very important for farmers and the youth. This is the time which is Peak season for colleges. Like Satyam, Hundreds of thousands of youth leave schools to join colleges. Whereas February and March get consumed in exams, papers and answers, April & May are meant for enjoying vacations, followed by results and thereafter, shaping a course for one’s life through career choices. July is the month when the youth step into a new phase of life, where the focus shifts from questions and veers towards cut-offs. The attention of students steers from home to hostel. Students submit themselves to the tutelage of Professors vis a vis the shadow of their parents. I firmly believe that my young friends must be enthusiastic & happy on the commencement of their college life. Leaving home for the first time, moving out of one’s village, coming out of a protective environment amounts to taking charge of the course of one’s life. This multitude of young people leave their homes for the first time to chart a new direction for their lives. Some students might have joined their respective colleges and some must be about to join. All I would like to say to you is ‘Be calm, enjoy life, seek inner happiness in life. There is no alternative to books, one has to study, yet one’s bent of mind should be towards discovering new things. Old friends are invaluable. Childhood friends are precious, but selecting, making & maintaining new friendships is a task that requires immense prudence. Keep learning something new, such as newer skills and languages. Young people who leave their homes for the sake of studies should discover their new places, know more about the people, language, culture & tourism facets related to them. My best wishes to all the young people about to begin a new innings. Referring to the college season reminds me of someone I saw in the News recently… how Asharam Choudhury a student from an extremely poor family in Madhya Pradesh overcame life’s many challenges to achieve success. In his maiden attempt, he cracked the Entrance exam for MBBS at AIIMS, Jodhpur. His father earns his daily bread by waste-picking. I congratulate him on his success. There are many such instances of students from deprived families who, through sheer determination & perseverance overcame all odds and stood out to be beacons of inspiration to others. Examples such as Prince Kumar of Delhi, whose father is a DTC bus driver, Abhay Gupta of Kolkata who studied on foothpaths under street lights, Bitiya Afreen Sheikh of Ahmedabad, whose father drives an auto rickshaw, Nagpur’s daughter Khushi, whose father is a school bus driver, Karthik of Haryana, whose father is a watchman or Ramesh Sahu of Jharkhand, whose father is a brick-kiln labourer… or Gurgaon’s divyang angel Anushka Panda, who suffers from a hereditary disorder called spinal muscular atrophy… all of them overcame each & every obstacle through their firm resolve and Zeal, attaining success for the world to see. If we look around, we can see many such examples. Any commendable incident from any part of the country infuses my heart with energy and inspires me. And when I mention the glorious journey of these youth, I am reminded of Neeraj ji’s line which sum up the raison d’etre of life. Neeraj ji has said How I wish to make the sky listen to the song of the earth How I wish to inspire every strand of darkness to come to the radiance of light And I wish to conquer the might of the sword With the fragrance of flowers And to awaken the mountains with the Sweetness of songs. My dear countrymen, a few days ago I happened to glance through a news item, it said- “Two youths make Modi’s dream come true”. On reading further, I came to know how our youngsters put in efforts to transform the lives of the common man by making smart and creative use of technology. It so happened that once I was interacting with Indian youth in San Jose town of America hailed as a Technology Hub. I had appealed to those young people to think over how could they use their talent to India’s benefit and do something in that direction whenever they found time. I had made an appeal to change brain-drain into brain-gain. Two IT Professionals from Rae Bareilly Yogesh Sahu ji and Rajneesh Bajpayee ji accepted my challenge and made a unique attempt. With their joint efforts, Yogesh ji and Rajneesh ji have developed a SmartGaonApp by utilizing their professional skills. This App is not only connecting the villagers with the whole world but now they can obtain any information on their own mobile phones. Residents of the village Taudhakpur in Rae Bareilly, village chief, District Magistrate, CDO and every one joined in to create awareness amongst the masses. This App is actually bringing in a Digital Revolution in the village, with the help of this App, it has since become easier to record, track and monitor developmental work being done in the village. This App contains phone directory, News section, events list, health centre and information centre of the village. This App is very useful for the farmers and the grammar feature of the App and FACT rate among the farmers functions like a market place for their products. If you look into this incident minutely, one thing will strike you and that is the young man living in America adhering to that country’s life-style and ideology, who left India many years ago but, knows the finer details about his village, knows about the challenges and still is emotionally attached to his village. This seems to be the reason as to how he could develop this App which is most suited to needs of the village. A sense of belonging towards the village and towards one’s roots and also a spirit to show and do something is naturally there in each and every Indian. But, sometimes because of time, sometimes because of distance and at times because of situations that spirit gets faded but just with a touch of a tiny spark, everything re-emerges which takes one back to old memories. We should also check if such a thing has happened in our case too whether circumstances, situations, distances have made us alien, whether dust has gathered over our determinations. Do think. Santoshji, many – many thanks for your phone call. Actually, Pandharpur Wari is an amazing journey in itself. Friends, Ashadhi Ekadashi, which fell on 23rd July, is celebrated as a day of grand transformation of Pandharpur Wari. Pandharpur is a holy town in Solapur district in Maharashtra. About 15-20 days before Ashadhi Ekadashi warkari or pilgrims start the Pandharpur Yatra on foot. This yatra (journey) is known as Wari and lakhs of warkaris join this. Wooden foot wear or padukas of great saints like Saint Gyaneshwar and Saint Tukaram are placed in a palki and pilgrims begin their pilgrimage chanting “Vitthal-Vitthal”. Pilgrims go to have a darshan of Vitthal who is also known as Vithoba or Pandurang. Lord Vitthal safeguards the interests of the poor, the deprived ones and the ones who are suffering. People from Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana have deep devotion and respect for Vitthal. Visiting Vithoba temple in Pandharpur and its grandeur, beauty and spiritual bliss is a unique experience in itself. I request the listeners of “Mann Ki Baat” to visit Pandharpur Wari at least once, whenever they get a chance. Innumerable saints like Gyaneshwar, Namdev, Eknath, Ram Dass, Tukaram are relevant even today in educating the masses. They are imparting energy to fight against superstition in each and every corner across the country. May they be compositions like Bharud (Hkk:M) or Abhang (vHkax), we get a great message of amity, love and brotherhood. We get the mantra to enable the society to fight against blind-faith through devotion and bhakti. These were the people who, at times restrained and corrected the society, even showed a mirror and ensured that old evil traditions get eradicated from the society and that people inculcated a culture of compassion, equality and righteousness. Our mother India is a land full of gems and treasures and the tradition of these great saints that adorned our land are at the same level as the great men who dedicated and sacrificed their lives for our Mother India. One such great man has been Lok Manya Tilak who has left a very deep impression on the hearts of a large number of Indians. We remember and pay our homage to Tilak ji on his birth anniversary on 23rd July and his death anniversary on 1st August. Lokmanya Tilak was full of courage and self-confidence. He had the courage to show a mirror to the British about their wrong doings. The British were so afraid of Lok Manya Tilak that they tried to charge him of sedition thrice in two decades; this is no small thing. I want to narrate an interesting incident to the countrymen which is connected with Lok Manya Tilak and his statue in Ahmedabad. When in October 1916, Lok Manya Tilak ji came to Ahmedabad, more than 40,000 people that time gave him a welcome and during that very visit, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel had a chance to talk to him. Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel was greatly impressed by Lok Manya Tilakji. When on August 1 1920, Lok Manya Tilakji passed away, Patel ji had decided then itself that he would build his statue in Ahmedabad. Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel was elected the Mayor of Ahmedabad municipal corporation and he immediately selected Victoria Garden as a venue for Lok Manya Tilak’s memorial and this was the very Victoria Garden which was named after the British Queen. The British were naturally not happy with this and the collector continually kept denying permission. But Sardar Saheb was also Sardar Saheb after all, he was persistent and had remarked that he might have to give up on his post but Lok Manya Tilakji’s statue would certainly be built there. Finally, the statue got built and Sardar Saheb got it unveiled by none other than Mahatma Gandhi on 28th February, 1929; and the most interesting point is that during that inaugural ceremony revered Bapuji said that with the coming of Sardar Patel, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has not only got a man but it has got the strength on the basis of which, building the statue of Tilakji has become possible. And my dear countrymen, the speciality about this statue is that this is a rare statue of Tilakji in which he is sitting in a chair and in this “Swaraj is our birthright” (“Swaraj Hamara Janma Sidhha Adhikar Hai”) is inscribed right below Tilakji’s statue. And this all happened during the period of British rule. Tradition of publicly celebrating Ganesh Utsav was also initiated with the efforts of Lok Manya Tilakji. The celebration of Ganesh Utsav publicly had become an effective medium in promoting a spirit of social awakening, integration, amity and equality among the masses besides projecting a sense of dedication and festivity in them. This was the period when there was a need for people to get united in the fight against the British; these festivals, by breaking the barriers of casteism and communalism served the purpose of uniting all. Such events gained more popularity with the passage of time. Thus, it becomes clear that our younger generations still care for the brave heroes of our ancient past, its heritage and history. Today, you can see Ganesh pandals in almost every street of various cities. All families in that street collectively organize these pandals. This is an excellent chance for our youth wherein they can learn qualities of leadership and organization and inculcate these in themselves. My dear countrymen! I had requested last time too and now, while remembering Lokmanya Tilak, I will once again urge all of you to celebrate Ganesh Utsav with great enthusiasm and fervour whole heartedly but insist on keeping these celebrations eco-friendly. Right from Ganesh idol to all decorative material everything ought to be eco friendly and I will appreciate that separate competitions be organized in each city, prizes be awarded for these; and I will like that eco friendly items related to Ganesh Utsav are displayed for wider publicity on My Gov and Narendra Modi App. I will surely send your ideas and efforts to the people. Lokmanya Tilak evoked self- confidence amongst our countrymen and gave the slogan “Swaraj is our birth right and I shall have it.” Today is the time to say that Good Governance is our birth right and we will have it. Every Indian should have access to good governance and positive results of development. It is the factoring in of this outreach that will create a new India. After 50 years of Tilak’s birth, on the same day i.e. on July 23, another son of Mother India was born, who sacrificed his life so that his countrymen could breathe freely in an atomsphere of freedom. I am talking about none other than Chandrasekhar Azad. Where will you find a young man in India who will not be inspired listening to these lines – Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai Dekhna hai zor kitna baazu-e-qaatil mein hai (The desire for martyrdom is now in our hearts Let us see the strength in the arms of my executioner) These lines inspired many young people like Ashfaq Ullah Khan, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and many others. Azad’s courage and passion for freedom inspired the youth of the day. Chandrashekhar Azad put his life on the stake, but he never bowed in front of the foreign rule. It was my privilege and good fortune that I had the opportunity of going to Chandrasekhar Azad’s native village of Alirajpur in Madhya Pradesh. I had the opportunity to pay homage in Chandrashekhar Azad Park in Allahabad, Chandrasekhar Azad Ji was a brave man who did not wish to die by the bullet of foreigners – he wished to fight for independence as a free man and if he had to die, he wished to remain a free man! This is what was so special about him. Once again, I bow and pay tributes to the two great sons of Bharat Mata – Lokmanya Tilakji and Chandrasekhar Azad ji. Just a few days ago, in the Junior Under-20 World Athletics Championship in Finland, India’s brave daughter and a farmer daughter Hima Das made history by winning the gold medal in the 400-meter race event. Ekta Bhyan, another daughter of the country, in response to my letter, has emailed me from Indonesia, where she is now preparing for the Asian Games. Ekta in her e-mail writes – ‘The most important moment in the life of any athlete is that when he or she holds the tricolor and I am proud that I could do that.’ Ekta, we all are proud of you. You have brought glory to the Nation. Ekta has won the gold and bronze medals in World Para Athletics Grand Prix 2018 held in Tunisia. Her achievement is all the more special because she has made the imposing challenges in her life the key to her success. Daughter Ekta Bhyan in 2003, lost the use of half of her lower body due to road accident, but this daughter did not lose courage and made herself all the more stronger to perform this grand feat. Another Divyang, Yogesh Qathuniaji, has won the gold medal in the discus throw in Para Athletics Grand Prix in Berlin and in the process bettered the world record, along with Sundar Singh Gurjar who also won the gold medal in javelin. I salute Ekta Bhyanji, Yogesh Qathuniaji and Sundar Singh Ji, all of you for your fortitude and passion, and congratulate you! May you go further than these successes, keep on playing and keep on blooming. My dear countrymen, the month of August is significant because it is filled with historically important dates and festivals, but due to the weather sometimes sickness also enters the house. I wish all of you best wishes for good health, for this month of August imbued with the spirit of patriotism and for many festivals that have continued over centuries. We will meet once again for ‘Mann Ki Baat’ next time.

Heartiest congratulations to all the countrymen on the occasion of the launch of 75 Digital Banking Units. Today the country is once again witnessing the potential of Digital India. Today 75 digital banking units are coming up in the 75 districts of the country. I congratulate all the people associated with this mission, our banking sector as well as the RBI. Friends, Digital Banking Units are another major step towards making the lives of the common man of India easier, the objective towards which the country has already been moving. This is one such special banking system which will work to provide maximum services with ‘Minimum Digital Infrastructure’. These services will be free of paperwork and hassle, and will be easier than ever before. That is, it will not only provide convenience but also a strong digital banking security. In a village or a small town, when a person avails the services of a digital banking unit, everything from sending money to taking loans will become easy online. Just imagine! There was a time when a villager or a poor person had to struggle for basic banking services. This used to be a great hassle for such people. But today they will be happy and excited to experience this change. Friends, The goal of our government is to empower the common man of India and to make him powerful. Therefore, we made policies keeping in mind the people in the lowest strata of the society. And the whole government is following the path of ensuring convenience and progress to the people. We worked on two things together. First- reforming the banking system, strengthening it and bringing transparency within it; and second- financial inclusion. Earlier when there were intellectual seminars, great scholars used to discuss the banking system, the economy and the poor. They used to talk of financial inclusion, but the arrangements and facilities were limited to ideas only. The systems were not developed for this revolutionary work i.e. for financial inclusion. Earlier it was thought that the poor themselves would go to the bank and would be connected to the banking system. But we changed this practice. We decided that the bank and its facilities would be taken to the homes of the poor. For this we had to first reduce the distance between the poor and the banks. Therefore, br not only reduced the physical distance but also the psychological of which was the biggest hurdle. We have given top priority to make banking services reach every doorstep even in the far flung areas. Today more than 99 percent of the villages in India have some or the other bank branch, banking outlet or a Bank Mitra or a banking correspondent within 5 kms. Apart from this, the vast network of post offices in the country have also become a part of the mainstream banking through India Post Bank. Today, the number of bank branches in the country for every 100,000 adult population is more than that of countries like Germany, China and South Africa. Friends, We are working hard day and night with a resolve to raise the standard of living of the common man. Our resolve is to improve the systems and to bring transparency. Our resolve is to reach the poorest of the poor. When we started the Jan Dhan campaign, some people protested saying – ‘what will the poor do with bank accounts’ ? Even many experts in this field were not able to comprehend the importance of this campaign. But the power of a bank account is being witnessed by the whole country today. The ordinary citizen of my country is experiencing it. Because of bank accounts, we have given insurance coverage to the poor at a very low premium. After connecting them with the bank accounts, the poor are now able to get loans without any guarantee. Now the subsidy money is reaching directly into the bank accounts of the poor beneficiaries. It is only through bank accounts that the poor are able to build houses, toilets and get gas subsidies as the money given is directly flowing into their accounts. Farmers could also avail all the assistance from the various government schemes due to their bank accounts as the money could easily reach them. And during the period of corona pandemic, the money was sent directly to the bank accounts of the poor, mothers and sisters. It was because of the bank accounts that the Svanidhi scheme could be started for our street vendors. But that was the time when even the developed countries were facing difficulties in this kind of work. You must have heard that a short while back the IMF has lauded India’s digital banking infrastructure. The credit for this goes to the poor of India, the farmers of India and the labourers of India, who adopted new technologies with courage and understanding and have made it a part of their lives. Friends, When financial partnerships are combined with digital partnerships, a whole new world of possibilities opens up. UPI is the best example and India is proud of it. UPI is the world’s first technology of its kind. But in India you can see it everywhere, from a city to a village, from showrooms to vegetable carts. Besides UPI, now the power of ‘Rupay Card’ is also in the hands of the common man of the country. There was a time when credit or debit cards were considered to be an elite system. It was associated with the rich and elite class of the society. The cards used to be foreign; there were very few people who used them; they were used only in some select places. But, today in India more than 70 crore RuPay cards are with the common man. Today India’s indigenous RuPay card is being accepted across the world. This combination of technology and economy is giving great power to the dignity of the poor and the middle class on the one hand and eliminating the digital divide of the country on the other. Friends, JAM i.e. Triple power of Jan Dhan, Aadhar and Mobile together has taken care of another major disease plaguing the country and the disease is corruption. The money that was released by the government would disappear by the time it reached the poor. But, now through Direct Benefit Transfer i.e. DBT, the money reaches the account of the person for whom the money was released and that too instantly. So far more than 25 lakh crore rupees have been transferred under different schemes through DBT. Similarly tomorrow also, I am going to send another installment of Rs 2000 to crores of farmers of the country. Brothers & Sisters, Today the whole world is appreciating this DBT and digital power of India. We are looking at it today as a global model. The World Bank has even gone so far to declare that India has become a leader in ensuring social security through digitization. Even the most successful people around the world in terms of technology or the masters of technology in the world are appreciating this system of India a lot! They too are surprised by its success. Brothers Sisters Just imagine! When digital participation and economic participation have so much power individually, how far can we take our country by using 100 percent potential of both? Therefore, today FinTech is at the heart of India’s policies and efforts, And is guiding the future of our country. The Digital Banking units will further enhance this capability of FinTech. If Jan Dhan accounts had laid the foundation stone of financial inclusion in the country, then FinTech would form the basis of financial revolution. Friends, Recently, the Indian government has also announced the launch of a digital currency based on blockchain technology. Be it digital currency of the future, or digital transactions in today’s time, many important dimensions are associated with them besides economy. For example, the money spent on printing currency can be saved by the country. We import paper and ink from abroad for printing currency. We can save money even on these things by turning towards the digital economy. I considered this to be a huge contribution of the banking sector of India and RBI in a self-reliant India. At the same time, reducing the consumption of paper will also have a huge benefit to the environment. Friends, Banking today has gone beyond financial transactions and has also become a medium for offering ‘Good Governance’ and ‘Better Service Delivery’. Today this system has given rise to immense possibilities of growth for the private sector and small scale industries as well. Today, there is hardly any field or sector in India where product and service delivery is not happening through technology while creating a new startup ecosystem. You see, today if you want honey from Bengal, or bamboo products from Assam, or herbs from Kerala, or if you want to order something from a local restaurant, or you need to know about the law or want some advice on health, everything is possible online. Even a young man in the village can attend a class of a teacher living in the city! Digital India has made everything possible. We could not even have imagined this scenario a few years back. Friends, Digital economy today is a huge strength of our economy, our startup world, Make in India and a self-reliant India. Today our small industries, MSMEs, are also participating in government tenders through a system like GEM. They are getting new business opportunities. So far, orders worth Rs 2.5 lakh crore have been placed on GEM. You can imagine the advantage it is bringing to the local economy of the country and to the mission of ‘Vocal for Local’. Many more new opportunities will now arise in this direction through Digital Banking Units. We will have to make innovations in this direction. And with new thinking, we must welcome new opportunities. Friends, The state of development of a country’s economy is directly related to the strength of its banking system. Today India’s economy is moving forward ceaselessly. This is becoming possible because in these 8 years the country has shifted from the pre-2014 phone banking system to the current digital Banking system. You might remember the Phone banking system before 2014! Banks used to get phone calls from higher authorities to decide their functioning. This ‘phone banking’ politics had made the banks unsafe, ruined the system and had made the country’s economy unsafe too. It had sown the seeds of major scams. We would constantly hear about scams in the news. But now with digital banking everything is going on in a transparent manner. We worked towards bringing transparency in the identification of NPAs. Lakhs of crores of rupees came back into the banking system. We recapitalized banks, took action against willful defaulters and reformed the Prevention of Corruption Act. The resolution of NPA related issues was expedited with the help of IBC. We also promoted the use of technology and analytics for loans, so that a transparent and scientific system could be created. Due to policy paralysis, important decisions like merger of banks were not taken. The country has taken those issues seriously. Today decisions and steps are being taken and the results are before us. The world is appreciating us. A new self-driven mechanism is now being created for the banking system through new systems like digital banking units and the innovative use of FinTech. On one hand there is autonomy for the consumers while on the other hand there is convenience and transparency for the banks. The stakeholders should work in the direction of solving questions like – ‘how to make such arrangements more comprehensive? How to take it forward on a large scale?’ All our banks should aim to connect as many people as possible with digital systems. I want to make a request particularly to the people of the banking sector, the small businessmen and traders across villages who are connected with banks. Since we are celebrating the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’, I hope you will fulfil this request for the country. Can our banks and our small traders do something together? If at least 100 merchants from your bank branch’s commanding area can be connected to your bank with a system of fully digital transactions or 100% digital transactions, you can build the foundation of a massive revolution! Brothers & Sisters, This could be a wonderful beginning for the country. I am simply making a request to you. No one can make any law or rules for this. And when you see the benefit of it, then I won’t have to convince anyone to increase that number from 100 to 200. Friends, Each branch should aim to connect 100 merchants with it. The reason for the success of Jan Dhan accounts today are our bank staff and employees in the lower positions and their hard work. They used to visit the huts of the poor. They even worked on weekends. Jan Dhan became successful because of that. The country is witnessing the strength of the bank workers who made Jan Dhan successful. If today the bank workers and managers can motivate, educate and connect 100 merchants within their command area with their bank branch, you will be leading a massive revolution. I am sure, this beginning will take our banking system and economy to a point where we are future ready, and our banking system will have the capability to lead the global economy. With best wishes, I extend my heartiest congratulations to the Finance Minister of India, the Ministry of Finance, our RBI Governor, the team of RBI and all the people, the employees associated with our banking sector because you have presented a valuable gift to the country! And dedicating this priceless gift of 75 digital banking units to the people of the country before Diwali and on the 75 years of independence is a wonderful coincidence! Best wishes, thanks a lot!",৭৫ খন জিলাত ৭৫ টা ডিজিটেল বেংকিং ইউনিট দেশবাসীলৈ উৎসৰ্গা কৰি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-reviews-performance-of-key-infrastructure-sectors-of-energy-and-mining/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%83%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%81%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%96-2/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, on Tuesday reviewed progress of key infrastructure sectors of power, renewable energy, petroleum and natural gas, coal, and mining. The review meeting, which lasted for over two hours, was attended by top officials from infrastructure-related Ministries, NITI Aayog, and PMO. In course of the presentation made by CEO NITI Aayog, Shri Amitabh Kant, it was noted that the installed power generation capacity in India has risen to 344 GigaWatts. India’s energy deficit, which stood at over 4 per cent in 2014, has shrunk to less than 1 per cent in 2018. Significant capacity additions have been made in transmission lines, transformer capacity, and inter-regional transmission. India now ranks 26th in the World Bank’s “Ease of Getting Electricity” Index, up from 99th in 2014. Progress in household electrification under the SAUBHAGYA initiative, was reviewed. Discussions also focused on last mile connectivity and distribution, in both urban and rural areas. In the new and renewable energy sector, cumulative installed capacity has nearly doubled, from 35.5 GigaWatts in 2013-14, to about 70 GigaWatts in 2017-18. In solar energy, installed capacity has increased from 2.6 GigaWatts to 22 GigaWatts in the same period. Officials expressed confidence that India is on track to comfortably achieve the Prime Minister’s target of 175 GigaWatts renewable energy capacity by 2022. The Prime Minister urged the officials to work towards ensuring that the benefits from increase in solar energy capacity, reach the farmers, through appropriate interventions such as solar pumps, and user-friendly solar cooking solutions. In the petroleum and natural gas sector, it was noted that targets set under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will be comfortably achieved in the current financial year. In the coal sector, discussions focused on further augmentation of production capacity.",মুখ্য আন্তঃগাঁথনিমুলক খণ্ড শক্তি আৰু খনিৰ কাম-কাজৰ পৰ্যালোচনা প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-dedicates-phase-i-of-the-mahakal-lok-project-to-the-nation-at-shri-mahakal-lok-in-ujjain-madhya-pradesh/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%88%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0/,"PM performs pooja and aarti at inner sanctum Project aims to put special emphasis on the conservation and restoration of heritage structures Total cost of the entire project is around Rs 850 crores Existing footfall of around 1.5 crores per annum is expected to be doubled The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi dedicated Phase I of the Mahakal Lok Project to the nation at Shri Mahakal Lok in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh today.

In the meeting, nine agenda items were taken for review including eight projects and one Programme. Among the eight projects, two projects each were from the Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways and Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas along with one project each from the Ministry of Power and Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation. These eight projects have a cumulative cost of over Rs. 59,900 crore, concerning the 14 states viz Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Jharkhand. Prime Minister said that the agencies working in the infrastructure sector, such as roads and railways, should map their projects with the water bodies being developed under Amrit Sarovar. This would be a win-win situation as the material dug out for the Amrit Sarovars can be utilised for civil works by the agencies. During the interaction, the Prime Minister also reviewed ‘National Broadband Mission’ Programme. States and Agencies were asked to leverage the centralised Gati Shakti Sanchar Portal to ensure timely disposal of Right of Way (RoW) applications. This would expedite the implementation of the Mission. Parallely, they should work to use technology for enhancing ‘ease of living’ of the common man. Prime Minister further said that States may also formulate State level GatiShakti Master Plan on the lines of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan and constitute state level units for this purpose. This can go a long way in better planning, identifying and addressing key issues and ensuring better coordination for timely execution of projects.

The session was also addressed by the Hon. Scott Morrison MP, Prime Minister of Australia, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of Ghana, Hon. Fumio Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan and H..E. Andry Nirina Rajoelina, President of Madagascar. At the outset, Prime Minister Modi reminded the gathering that the solemn promise of the Sustainable Development Goals is to leave no one behind. “That is why, we remain committed to meeting the needs of the poorest and the most vulnerable by building the next generation infrastructure to realize their aspirations”, he said. The Prime Minister said that infrastructure is about people and providing them high quality, dependable, and sustainable services in an equitable manner. “People must be at the heart of any infrastructure growth story. And, that is exactly what we in India are doing”, he said. As India is scaling-up the provision of fundamental services in India in the areas of education, health, drinking water, sanitation, electricity, transport and much more, said the Prime Minister, “We are also tackling climate change in a very direct way. That is why, at COP-26 we have committed to attain ‘Net Zero’ by 2070, in parallel with our developmental efforts.” The Prime Minister talked about the importance of infrastructure in unleashing the human potential and said that damage to infrastructure leads to lasting damage for generations. In the context, the Prime Minister asked “with modern technology and knowledge at our disposal, can we create resilient infrastructure that is built to last?” Recognition of this challenge under-pins the creation of the CDRI, he said. He also noted that the coalition has expanded and made valuable contributions. He mentioned the initiative on ‘Infrastructure for Resilient Island States’ that was launched at COP-26 and CDRI’s work on Resilient Airports studying 150 airports around the world. The ‘Global Assessment of Disaster Resilience of Infrastructure Systems’ that is being led by CDRI will help create global knowledge that would be immensely valuable, Shri Modi informed. The Prime Minister said that in order to make our future resilient we have to work towards a ‘Resilient Infrastructure Transition’. Resilient infrastructure can also be the centrepiece of our wider adaptation efforts. “If we make infrastructure resilient, we prevent disasters not only for ourselves but for many future generations”, he added.",‘ডিজেষ্টাৰ ৰিজেলিয়েণ্ট ইনফ্ৰাষ্ট্ৰাকশ্যাৰ’ সম্পৰ্কীয় আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় সন্মিলনৰ চতুৰ্থ তাঙৰণৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-in-mangarh-dham-ki-gaurav-gatha-event-at-mangarh-hills-rajasthan/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4/,"Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Hon’ble Chief Minister of Rajasthan Shri Ashok Gehlot ji, Governor of Madhya Pradesh and a very tall leader of tribal society Shri Mangubhai Patel, Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shri Shivraj Singh ji Chouhan, my colleagues in the Council of Ministers Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste ji and Shri Arjun Meghwal ji, prominent personalities of various organizations, MPs, MLAs and my old friend and brother Mahesh ji who has dedicated his life in the service of tribal society, and my dear tribal brothers and sisters who have come in large numbers to Mangarh Dham from far and wide! It is a matter of privilege for me that I have once again got the opportunity to bow my head on this holy land of Mangarh. As the Chief Minister, Ashok ji and I have worked together for several years and Ashok ji was the senior most in the company of chief ministers. He continues to be the senior most Chief Minister even now. Ashok ji is also one of the senior Chief Ministers among the people who are sitting on the dais. I thank him for attending this program. Friends, The coming together of all of us to Mangarh Dham in the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom is pleasant as well as inspiring for all of us. Mangarh Dham is a reflection of the austerity and patriotism of the tribal heroes. This is the common heritage of the people of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The day before yesterday, i.e. on 30th October, it was the death anniversary of Govind Guru ji. On behalf of all the countrymen, I once again pay homage to Govind Guru ji. I bow to the struggles, thoughts and ideals of Govind Guru ji. Brothers and sisters, While being the Chief Minister of Gujarat, I had the privilege of serving the region of Mangarh which falls in Gujarat. Govind Guru had also spent the last years of his life there. His energy and teachings are still being felt in this soil. I especially want to bow my head to our Katara Kankamal ji and the community here. The place used to be completely deserted when I used to come earlier. I had made a request to organize ‘Van Mahotsav’. I feel very satisfied today as I can see greenery all around. I heartily congratulate all the friends who have developed the forest here with complete dedication and made this area green again. Friends, When this area was developed and roads were built, not only did the life of the people there improve, the teachings of Govind Guru also expanded. Friends, Govind Guru like other great freedom fighters was the representative of the Indian traditions and ideals. He was not the king of any princely state, but still he was the hero of lakhs of tribal members. He lost his family, but he never lost his courage. He made every tribal, weak, poor and Indian citizen his family. If Govind Guru blew the trumpet of struggle against the British government for its exploitation of the tribal society, he also fought against the evils of his society. He was also a social reformer. He was also a spiritual guru. He was also a saint. He was also a people’s leader. Besides courage and bravery, his philosophical and intellectual thinking was equally lofty. Govind Guru’s reflection and realization continue to be illuminated in Mangarh Dham in the form of his ‘Dhuni’. And look at his ‘Samp Sabha’! How poignant is the word ‘Samp Sabha’! His ideals of ‘Samp Sabha’ are still inspiring unity, love and brotherhood to create a sense of harmony in every section of the society. His ‘Bhagat’ followers continue to carry forward the spirituality of India. Friends, The massacre that took place in Mangarh on 17th November 1913 was the culmination of the brutality of British rule. On the one hand, there were innocent tribal brothers and sisters who believed in freedom, on the other hand, there was the thought of making the world a slave. The British government surrounded more than 1,500 youth, elderly and women and massacred them on the Mangarh Hill. You can imagine, the sin of the heinous murder of more than 1,500 people was committed. Unfortunately, this struggle and sacrifice of the tribal society did not get its due place in the history written after independence. Today the country is trying to correct that flaw in the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom. Today the country is correcting the mistakes made decades ago. Friends, India’s past, India’s history, India’s present and India’s future are not complete without tribal society. Every page of our freedom struggle and history is full of tribal valor. The tribal society had sounded the bugle of the struggle against the foreign rule even before the revolution of 1857. In 1780, much before 1857, armed rebellion occurred in Santhal under the leadership of Tilka Manjhi. In 1830-32, the country witnessed the ‘Larka Movement’ under the leadership of Budhu Bhagat. The flame of independence was lit up here in 1855 in the form of ‘Sidhu Kanhu Revolution’. Similarly, Bhagwan Birsa Munda ignited the flame of revolution among lakhs of tribals. He passed away at a very young age. But his energy, patriotism and courage became the basis of revolutions like ‘Tana Bhagat Andolan’. Friends, From the early centuries of slavery to the 20th century, you will not find any period when tribal society did not hold the torch of the freedom struggle. In Andhra Pradesh, the tribal society under the leadership of Alluri Sitarama Raju Garu gave a new edge to the ‘Rampa Revolution’. And this land of Rajasthan has been a witness to the patriotism of the tribal society long before that. On this land, our tribal brothers and sisters stood shoulder to shoulder with Maharana Pratap. Friends, We are indebted to the sacrifices of the tribal society. We are indebted to their contributions. This society has preserved and cherished nature, environment, culture, traditions and the character of India. Now is the time that the country should thank the tribal society for this debt by serving them for this contribution. This spirit has been fueling our efforts for the past eight years. A few days from today, on November 15, the country will celebrate ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’ (Tribal Pride Day) on the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda. Today special museums dedicated to tribal freedom fighters are being built across the country to bring the past and history of tribal society to the masses. The grand legacy that our generations were deprived of will now become a part of their thinking and inspirations. Brothers and sisters, The expansion and role of tribal society in the country is so huge that we need to work for it with a dedicated spirit. From Rajasthan and Gujarat to Northeast and Odisha, today the country is working with explicit policies to serve the diverse tribal society. Today, the tribal population is being linked with water, electricity, education, health and employment opportunities through ‘Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana’. Today, forest areas are also increasing in the country, forest resources are also being protected, and at the same time tribal areas are also becoming part of Digital India. ‘Eklavya Residential Schools’ are also being opened for tribal youths so that they can get opportunities for modern education along with traditional skills. After this program, I am going to Jambughoda where I will inaugurate the grand administrative campus of the university named after Govind Guru ji. Friends, Now that I am amongst you, I want to tell you one more thing. You must have seen that I got an opportunity to flag off the Ahmedabad-Udaipur train running on a broad gauge line last evening. The conversion of this 300 km long railway line to broad gauge is also very important for our brothers and sisters of Rajasthan. Many tribal areas of Rajasthan will now be connected with the tribal areas of Gujarat. Rajasthan’s tourism will also benefit greatly from this new rail line and it will also help in industrial development here. This will also create new employment opportunities for the youth. Friends, There has also been a discussion about the complete development of Mangarh Dham here. We all have a strong desire for the grand expansion of Mangarh Dham. Therefore, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra need to work together. I urge all the four state governments to have a detailed discussion in this regard and prepare a roadmap so that this memorial site of Govind Guru ji can also leave its mark in the world. I am sure the development of Mangarh Dham will make this region an awakening place of inspiration for the new generation. Since we are holding discussions in this regard for several days, I urge you to identify the area of the site fast. We can develop it further with the support of the Government of India. It can be called a national monument or something else, but there is a direct relationship between the Indian government and the tribal society of these four states. Together these four states and the Government of India have to take it to newer heights. The Government of India is fully committed in that direction. I once again wish you all the very best. I bow to the feet of Govind Guru. Drawing inspiration from his words let us all take a pledge for the welfare of the tribal society. Thanks a lot!",ৰাজস্থানৰ মানগড় পাহাৰত ‘মানগড় ধাম কী গৌৰৱ গাঁথা’ শীৰ্ষক অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-in-50th-episode-of-mann-ki-baat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE/,"My dear countrymen, Namaskar. On the 3rd of October, 2014, the pious occasion of Vijayadashmi, we embarked upon a journey together through the medium of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. This journey has reached its 50th episode today. Thus, this Golden Jubilee Episode is indeed gilt-edged in every sense of the term. Your letters and phone calls this time pertain mostly to these 50 episodes. Anshu Kumar & Amar Kumar from Delhi on Mygov, Vikas Yadav from Patna; on similar lines Monica Jain from Delhi, Prosenjit Sarkar from Bardhaman, West Bengal and Sangeeta Shastri from Nagpur converge in asking a shared question. They are of the view that broadly speaking, their Prime Minister being associated with the latest in technology, Social Media and Mobile Apps; WHY did he choose radio as a medium to connect with his countrymen? Your curiosity is but natural; in this age when Radio was fading into oblivion, why did Modi opt for the airwaves? Let me quote an incident. The year was 1998. I was then a party worker with the Bharatiya Janata Party organization in Himachal. It was the month of May; and I was travelling to a certain place. Evenings tend to get cold in the hilly terrain of Himachal Pradesh, and I stopped by at a wayside tea stall and placed an order for tea. It was a tiny joint; there was only one person who would make & serve tea. He was not even adequately clad; it was a standalone kiosk on the edge of the road. He first picked up a Laddoo from a glass container, offered the sweetmeat to me & said, “Sir, eat this before the tea get ready”. I was taken aback and asked him “What is the matter? Is it in celebration of an occasion like a wedding?” He replied, “No brother, nothing like that! Don’t you know? It’s a momentous, joyous occasion”. On seeing his rather jubilant exuberance, I asked him, “But what exactly happened?” And he replied, “India has exploded the bomb today!” I exclaimed, “India has exploded the bomb! I don’t get it!” Said he “Sir, just listen to the radio”. Indeed, that exactly was the topic of discussion on the radio. It was then that he elaborated on how on the day of the nuclear test, the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had announced to the Media and how he broke into a dance on listening to it on the radio. It was matter of great intrigue to me to see a lone tea seller in a remote, snow – clad hilly place,who possibly kept listening to the radio the entire day… watching that particular effect of the news on radio led me to realize & internalise that this was a medium that was truly connected with the masses… and that it was a mighty means of getting across. In terms of the reach & depth of communication, radio has been incomparable. I have been nursing that feeling ever since, acknowledging its power & strength. Hence when I became the Prime Minister, it was natural for me to turn towards a strong, effective medium. And in 2014, when I took charge as the Pradhan Sevak, Principal Servant, it was my wish to reach out to the masses with the glorious saga of our country’s unity, her grand history, her valour, India’s diversity, our cultural diversity, virtues embedded in our society such as Purusharth, Tapasya, Passion & sacrifice; in a nutshell, the great story of India. From remote villages to Metro cities, from farmers to young professionals … the array just prompted me to embark upon this journey of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. Every month, we would read letters to the tune of lakhs, listen to phone calls, watch comments on the App & Mygov. Weaving a common thread comprising them all into a fabric of informal conversation, we have been able to travel together, over this rather long distance of 50 episodes. Recently, All India Radio got a survey done on ‘Mann Ki Baat’. I came across some feedback that is very interesting. Out of the designated sample in the survey, 70% of respondents on an average happen to be listeners who regularly tune in to ‘’Mann Ki Baat’. Most people believe that the greatest contribution of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ has been the enhancement of a feeling of positivity in our society. The medium of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ has promoted many a mass revolution. #indiapositive has been the subject of quite an extensive discussion. This is an exemplary glimpse of the feeling of positivity, innate to our countrymen. People have shared their experiences, conveying the rise of selfless volunteerism as a consequence of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. It is a change where people are increasingly willing to contribute for the sake of service to society. I am overjoyed on account of the fact that through ‘Mann Ki Baat’, radio is rising as a popular medium, more than ever before. But it’s not about just radio… people are connecting with this programme and ensuring their participation through T.V., FM Radio, Mobile, Internet, Facebook Live; along with periscope, through the NarendraModiApp too. I express my gratitude to the entire family of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ for being a part of it & trusting it wholeheartedly. PHONE CALL-1 Thank you very much for your phone call. Your apprehension is not misplaced. The fact is, if a leader gets hold of a microphone with assured listeners to the tune of millions, what else does he need? Significantly, some young friends have attempted a study on the myriad subjects touched upon, over the many episodes of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. They did a lexical analysis of all the episodes to calculate the frequency of occurrence of particular words; whether there were some words that were oft-repeated! One of their findings was that, this programme has remained apolitical. When ‘Mann Ki Baat’ commenced, I had firmly decided that it would carry nothing political, or any praise for the Government, nor Modi for that matter anywhere. The greatest bulwark in ensuring adherence to my resolve; in fact my highest inspiration, have been you. As a run up to each episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, the expectations & aspirations of listeners through their letters, online comments & phone calls are crystal clear. Modi may come and go, but this country will never let go of its UNITY & permanence, our culture will always be immortal. These minute stories encompassing a 130 crore countrymen will always stay alive. This new inspiration & zest will keep taking her to greater heights. At times, when I look back, I am taken aback. Sometimes people who write in from different corners of the country say, “We should not haggle beyond limits with marginal shopkeepers, auto drivers, vegetable sellers et al”. I read a letter & then try to weave it with the essence of a similar letter. I would like to share a couple of personal experiences with you … who knows how soon these will reach our families; who knows when social media will circulate them to usher in a revolution!. The stories that you’ve sent across in the context of cleanliness, myriad examples of common folk… you never know where a tiny brand ambassador of cleanliness comes into being in various homes; someone who reprimands elders at home; or even admonishingly orders the Prime Minister through a phone call! Who would have imagined that a small campaign “selfie with daughter”starting from a small village in Haryana would spread not only throughout the country but also across other countries as well. Every section of the society including celebrities joined in to ignite a process of transformation in a new modern language of change that the present generation understands and follows. At times Mann Ki Baat is also sneered at but 130 crore countrymen ever occupy a special pleace in my heart. Their heartsand my heart beat to the same rhythm. Mann Ki Baat is not about the Government it is about the society. Mann Ki Baat addresses an aspirational India, an ambitious India. Politics or Political Power are not intrinsic to the Indian ethos; on the contrary social values and society are. In fact, Politics is one of the numerous other aspects of social life. Making politics an all pervasive, powerful factor is not an effective way for a healthy society. At times, political developments and political people assume such overriding prominence that other talents and courageous deeds get overshadowed. For ensuring a bright future for a country such as India, it isour collective responsibility to acknowledge and honour the common man’s talent and deeds and Mann Ki Baat is a humble and modest effort in this direction. PHONE CALL- 2 (PROMITA) Manythanks for your phone call. In a way your question were the a personal,amiable touch. I believe that the biggest achievement of the 50 episodes of Mann Ki Baat is that one feels like talking to a close acquaintance and not to the Prime Minister, and this is true democracy. If I reply to the question asked by you straightaway then I will say that I do not make any preparation. Actually, Mann Ki Baat is a very simpletask for me. Every time before Mann Ki Baat, letters are received from people; people share their ideas and view points on Mygov and Narendra Modi Mobile App and there is also a toll free number – 1800117800;and by calling on this number, people record messages in their own voice. My effort is that I read the maximum number of these letters and comments myself before Mann Ki Baat. I listen to many phone calls too. Andas the episode of Mann Ki Baat draws closer, I read ideas and inputs sent by you very minutely while travelling. My countrymen stay in my heart every moment and that is how the writer’s situation and ideas expressed in the letter become part of my thought process. That letter does not remain a mere a piece of paper for me.As it is I have spent close to 40 to 45 years as a travelling mendicant and have been to most of the districts in our country including the remotest once where I spent a lot of time.That is why I am able to relate myself to the place and context of the letter. Then, I note down facts like the name of the village and of the person. Honestly speaking, Mann Ki Baat carries my voice but the examples, emotions and spirit represent my countrymen, I thank every person contributing to Mann Ki Baat. There are lakhs of persons whose names I have not been able to include in Mann Ki Baat but without any disappointment,they continue to sendin their letters and comments. I firmly believe that your ideas and your views will continue reaching me in even greater numbers and will help make Mann Ki Baat more interesting, effective and useful. An effort is also made that the concerned department should pay attention to such letters and comments which, somehow, could not be included in Mann Ki Baat. I also thank my colleagues from All India Radio, FM Radio, Doordarshan, other TV Channels and the Social Media. It is due to their hard work that Mann Ki Baat reaches maximum number of people. The team from All India Radio prepares each episode for broadcast in a number of regional languages. Some of them very aptly narrate in a voice and style resembling that of Modi’s.In this way for those 30 minutes they become Narendra Modi. I congratulate and thank those persons for their talent and skills. I would request all of you also to kindly listen to this programme in your regional language as well. I sincerely thank from the core of my heart my friends in the media who regularly telecast Mann Ki Baat on their channels. No political person is ever happy with the media, he feels that he is getting a very little coverage or the coverage given to him is negative.But many issues raised in Mann Ki Baat have been adopted by the media. Issues such as cleanliness, Road safety, drugs free India, selfie with daughter have been taken up by the media and turn into campaigns. TV channels made it the most watched radio programme – I sincerely thank and congratulate the media. Without your contribution and cooperation, this journey of Mann Ki Baat would have been incomplete. PHONE CALL- 3 (NIDHI BAHUGUNA) Nidhi ji, many thanks for your phone call! To tell you the truth, I have no such secret. What I am doing must be happening in families as well. In simple words, I may say that I try to cast myself into the mould of that young man, and put myself under his conditions and try to adjust and match the wave length accordingly. There are old baggage’s of our own lives and when they do not come in the way, it becomes easier to understand others. Sometimes our inhibitions or prejudices become a big hurdle in communication. I prefer to understand the other man’s point of view rather than going through the process of acceptance, rejection and reaction. My experience has been that by adopting this approach, the other side also tries to come to our wave length rather than arguing or creating pressure in order to convince thereby removing the communication gap and both sides become co-travelers in our journey of idea-sharing. None of the two even realizes that how and when one other’s has abandoned its idea and accepted and owned the idea of the other side. Today’s youths have this special quality that they won’t do anything which they do not believe themselves and whenever they believe in something, they follow that leaving everything else. People generally talk of a communication gap between the elders and teenagers in the family. In fact, the scope of discussion with teenagers is quite limited in most of the families. Most of the time these talks remain limited to studies, habits or life style and the “do’s” and “don’ts”. An open discussion without any expectations is gradually on the decline and this too is a matter of concern. Communication will be more effective if we “accept” instead of “expect” and “discuss” instead of “dismiss”. My effort is to have a continuous dialogue with the youth in various programmes or through social media. I try to learn from whatever they are doing or whatever they are thinking. They are storehouse of ideas. They are extremely energetic, innovative and focused. I try to share the efforts and achievements of the youth as much as possible through “Mann Ki Baat”. There is a general complaint that the younger generation asks too many questions. I say it is good that the youth ask questions. It is good as it shows that they want to analyse everything from its very root. Some people say that the youth do not have patience but my belief is that the youth do not have any time to waste- this is the point which helps the present day youth become more innovative because they want to accomplish things quickly. We feel that the youths are very ambitious today and they plan big. I feel it is good, dream big and achieve bigger successes; after all, this is “the New India”. Some people say that the younger generation wants to accomplish a many things at a time. I say what is wrong in it. They do so because they are adept in multitasking. If we just look around, we find that it is the youth who are bringing in transformation of society in a big way, may it be social entrepreneurship, start-ups, sports or any other field. Those youth who have dared to ask questions and have had the courage to dream big. If we put these ideas of our youthinto practice and provide them conducive environment to express themselves, they surely will bring about a constructive and a positive change in the country- they are already doing so. My dear countrymen, Vineeta ji from Gurugram- has posted on MyGov that in Mann Ki Baat I should talk about the “Constitution Day” which falls on the26th November. She says that this day is special because we are going to enter into the 70th year of our Constitution adoption. Thank you very much for your suggestion Vineeta ji. Yes, tomorrow is the Constitution Day. A day to remember those great personalities who drafted our Constitution. Our Constitution was adopted on 26th November, 1949. The Constituent Assembly took 2 years 11 months and 17 days to accomplish this stupendous task of drafting the Constitution. Just imagine, these luminaries gave us such a comprehensive and detailed Constitution within a period of just less than 3 years. The extraordinary pace at which they drafted the Constitution is an example of Time Management and productivity to emulate even today. This also inspires us to accomplish our responsibilities within a record time. The Constituent Assembly was an amalgamation of the great talents of the country, each one of them was committed to provide a Constitution to the country which empowers the people of India and enriches even the poorest of the poor. The unique point in our Constitution is that the rights and duties have been very comprehensively detailed. A balance between these two in the lives of our citizens will take our nation forward. If we respect the rights of others, our rights will automatically get protected and similarly if we fulfill our duties, then also our rights will get automatically protected. I still remember that in 2010 when 60 years of the adoption of the Constitution were being celebrated, we had taken out a procession by placing our Constitution atop an elephant. This has been a memorable incident to increase awareness about our Constitution among the youth and to connect them to the various aspects of the Constitution. In the year 2020, we shall complete 70 years as a Republic and in 2022, we shall enter 75th year of our Independence. Let us all take forward the values enshrined in our Constitution and ensure Peace, Progress and Prosperity in our country. My dear countrymen, while talking about the Constituent Assembly, the contribution of that great man cannot be forgotten who played a pivotal role in the Constituent Assembly. This great man was none other than our revered Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar. His death anniversary or mahaparirvan divas falls on 6th December. I, on behalf of all countrymen, pay my homage to Baba Saheb who gave the right to live with dignity to crores of Indians. Democracy was embedded deep in Baba Saheb’s nature and he used to say that India’s democratic values have not been imported from outside. What is a republic and what is a parliamentary system- are nothing new to India. He had made a very moving appeal in the Constituent Assembly that we have to safeguard our hard fought democracy till the last drop of our blood. He also used to say that we, Indians may be from different background but, yes, we shall have to keep the national interest above all the other things. “India First” was the basic doctrine of Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar. Once again my humble tribute to revered Baba Saheb. My dear countrymen, two days back on 23rd November, we all celebrated Shri Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti and next year in 2019 we shall be celebrating his 550th Prakash Parv. Guru Nanak Dev Ji always envisaged the welfare of entire humanity. He always showed the path of truth, work, service, kindness and amity to the society. The country will observe Guru Nahak Dev Ji’s 550th birth anniversary in a grand way, its soothing colours will not only spread in India alone but will get sprinkled the world over. All states and Union Territories have been requested to celebrate the occasion in a grand manner. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s 550th Prakash Parv will be celebrated in a similar manner in all the countries of the world as well. Besides, a train will be run on a route joining all the holy places connected with Guru Nanak Dev ji. Recently, while holding a meeting in this regard I remembered about of Lakhpat Saheb Gurudwara. This Gurudwara suffered severe damage due to the devastating earth quake of 2001 in Gujarat. But, the manner in which the local people joined hands with the state Government in renovating it, is an example even today. The Government of India has taken a significant decision of building Kartarpur corridor so that our countrymen could easily visit Kartarpur in Pakistan to pay homage to Guru Nanak Dev Ji at that holy sight. My dear countrymen, we shall meet once again in the next episode after this 50th episode of Mann Ki Baat and I am sure that in this episode of Mann Ki Baat today I got an opportunity for the first time to talk to you about the spirit behind this programme because of your questions. But our journey shall continue. The more you connect with us, our journey will gain greater depth, providing, satisfaction to one and all. At times a question arises in the minds of people’s as to what I achieved through Mann Ki Baat. I would like to say today that of the feedback of this programme, one of the points that touches my heart most- is when people tell me that when we sit with all our family members to listen to Mann Ki Baat, we feel that the head of our family is sitting with us and sharing his ideas with us. When I heard this comment in a larger circle, I felt satisfied to know that I am yours, I am one amongst you, I am with you, you elevated me and in a way, and in this way I will continue to remain connected with you as a family member through Man Ki Baat. Your joys and sorrows are my joys and sorrows too; your expectations are my expectations also; your ambitions are my ambitions. Come on, let us take this journey further. Many many thanks.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ‘মন কী বাত’ৰ ৫০তম খণ্ডত ২৫.১১.২০১৮ তাৰিখে প্ৰদান কৰা মূলপাঠৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-speech-at-interaction-with-the-indian-para-athlete-contingent-for-tokyo-2020-paralympic-games/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%85-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%87%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95/,"Namaskar! Joining me in the program is our Sports Minister in the Government of India, Shri Anurag Thakur ji, all the players, coaches, and especially the parents. Talking to all of you has given me the confidence that India is going to create a new history in the Paralympics Games also. I wish all the players and coaches all the very best for your success, for the victory of the country. Friends, I can see in you infinite self-confidence and will power to achieve something. It is the result of your hard work that today the largest number of Indian athletes is going to the Paralympics. As you were saying, Corona pandemic added to your problems, but you did not let it affect your preparation and did whatever was needed to overcome that. You didn’t let your morale down and didn’t stop your practice. And this is what the true ‘sportsman spirit’ teaches us in every situation –‘Yes, we will do it! We can do it’ and all of you did it. Friends, You have reached this stage because you are the real champion. You have overcome adversities in the game of life. You have won the game of life, you are the champion. Your victory, your medal is very important for you as a player, but I say it again and again that today’s new India does not put pressure for medals on its athletes. You have to give your 100 percent with full dedication, without any mental burden and without worrying about how strong the player is in front of you. Always remember that you have to perform with this belief in the arena of sports. When I became the Prime Minister, I used to meet leaders of the world. They are even taller than us in height. The status of those countries is also imposing. I too had the similar background as yours and people in the country used to doubt that Modi ji has no idea of the world, what would he do if he becomes the Prime Minister? But when I used to shake hands with world leaders, I never thought that Narendra Modi was shaking hands. I always thought that a country with a population of more than 100 crores was shaking hands (with them). More than 100 crore countrymen are standing behind me. I had this feeling and,therefore, I never had any issues with my confidence.I see you have the confidence to score victory in your life and winning the game is a very small issue for you. Your hard work will ensure medals. You have already seen that some of our players won in the Olympics, while some others missed. But the country stood firmly with everyone and was cheering for everyone. Friends, As a player, you know very well that along with physical strength in the field, mental strength also matters. It was your mental strength that helped you move ahead despite challenging situations. Therefore, the country is taking care of all these issues for its players. Workshops and seminars on ‘Sport Psychology’ are being organized continuously for the players. Most of our players come from small towns, cities and villages. Therefore, lack of exposure is also a big challenge for them. Sometimes, challenges like new places, new people and international conditions lower our morale. Therefore, it was decided that our players should get training in this direction as well. I hope the three sessions that you attended on the Tokyo Paralympics would have helped you a lot. Friends, Looking at you, I can say that our villages and remote areas are full of talent and confidence. You are a living example of that. Many times, you would have thought what would have happened to your dreams had you not got the facilities regarding resources. We also have to worry about the same concerns for the lakhs of youth of the country. There are so many youths who have the ability to win so many medals. Today the country itself is trying to reach them and special attention is being given to rural areas. Today 360 ‘Khelo India Centers’ have been set up in more than 250 districts of the country to identify talent at the local level so that they get opportunities. In the days to come, the number of these centers will be increased to 1,000.Similarly, resources used to be another challenge before our players. Earlier, there were no good grounds andquality equipment. It also had an effect on the morale of the player. He used to consider himself inferior to the players of other countries. But today sports infrastructure is also being expanded in the country. The country is helping each and every player with an open mind. The country also made necessary arrangements for the players through the ‘Target Olympic Podium Scheme’, set goals and the result is before us today. Friends, If the country has to reach the top in sports, then we have to shed that old fear which was entrenched in the mind of the older generation. If a child was more interested in the game, then the family members used to worry what he would do in the future,because barring one or two sporting events, sports was no longer a measure of success or career for us. It is very important for us to come out of this mindset and the feeling of insecurity. Friends, Whatever sports you are associated with, you also strengthen the spirit of Ek Bharat- Shreshtha Bharat (One India, Supreme India). It does not matter which state you belong to, which region you belong to, which language you speak, what matters is that you are ‘Team India’ today. This spirit should be visible in every part of our society at every level. In this campaign of social equality and AtmaNirbhar Bharat, my Divyang brothers and sisters are very important partners for the country. You have proved that life does not come to a halt due to physical hardship. Therefore, you are also a great inspiration for the countrymen, especially for the new generation. Friends, Earlier, providing facilities to the Divyang Jan was treated as welfare. But today the country realizes that it is its responsibility. Therefore, the Parliament of the country enacted a law — ‘The Rights for Persons with Disabilities Act’ — giving legal protection to the rights of persons with disabilities. Sugamya Bharat Abhiyanis another great example of this. Today hundreds of government buildings and railway stations, thousands of train coaches and dozens of domestic airports have been made Divyang-friendly. The project to make a standard dictionary of Indian Sign Language is also progressing. NCERT books are also being translated into sign language. Such efforts are changing the lives of so many people and giving confidence to so many talents to do something for the country. Friends, When the country makes efforts, we get its golden results fast and that gives us the inspiration to think big and to innovate. Our one success clears the way for our new goals. Therefore, when you would give your best in Tokyo carrying the Tricolor, you would not only win medals, but you would also be taking India’s resolve very far. You would give these resolutions a new energy and take it forward. I am sure that your courage and enthusiasm will set new records in Tokyo. With this belief, once again many best wishes to all of you.

Gujarat accounts for 25 per cent share of the country’s pharma export” “Adivasi community has contributed immensely to the journey of the development” “Development of Bharuch and Ankleshwar is being carried out along the lines of twin city model of development” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone and dedicated to the nation multiple projects worth over Rs 8000 crore in Amod, Bharuch, Gujarat today. The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of Bulk Drug Park at Jambusar, Deep Sea Pipeline Project at Dahej, Phase 1 of Ankleshwar Airport and the development of Multilevel Industrial Sheds at Ankleshwar and Panoli. The Prime Minister also dedicated several projects which will give a boost to the chemicals sector in Gujarat including GACL Plant, Bharuch Underground Drainage and IOCL Dahej Koyali Pipeline. At the outset, the Prime Minister paid tributes to Shri Mulayam Singh Yadav. “My relationship with Mulayam Singh Ji has been very special. As Chief Ministers, when we used to meet, there was a feeling of mutual regard and closeness”, he said. Remembering when after becoming the Prime Ministerial candidate, Shri Modi had reached out to leaders of the various parties, the Prime Minister said that Mulayam Singh Ji’s words of blessings and advice are still very important to him. Mulayam Singh Ji maintained his 2013 blessings irrespective of changing times. Shri Modi also recalled Mulayam Singh Ji’s blessing in the last session of the last Lok Sabha where the departed leader, without any political differences had predicted the return of Prime Minister Modi in 2019 who as per, Mulayam Singh Ji, is a leader who carries everyone along. “Today, from this land of Gujarat and from the banks of Maa Narmada pay my respectful homage to respected Mulayam Singh Ji. I pray to the almighty to grant strength to his family and admirers to bear this unbearable loss”, the Prime Minister added. Remarking that the Prime Minister has come to Bharuch at the time of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, he said that the soil of this place has given birth to many children of the nation that have taken the name of the country to new heights. He remembered a member of the Constituent Assembly and key comrade of Sardar Patel in the Somnath movement, Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi and Indian music great Pt. Omkarnath Thakur. “Bharuch has a critical role to play in the development of Gujarat and India”, Shri Modi added, “Whenever we read the history of India and talk about the future, Bharuch is always discussed with pride.” He also noted the emerging cosmopolitan nature of the Bharuch District. The Prime Minister pointed out that the first Bulk Drug Park has been presented to Bharuch along with multiple projects related to the chemicals sector. “Two major projects related to connectivity have also been initiated today”, he added. Shri Modi also informed that the foundation laying stone of Bharuch Airport in Ankleshwar has also been laid so that the people of Bharuch do not have to depend on Baroda or Surat. The Prime Minister also pointed out that Bharuch is a district that has more industry than other small states of the country, and with the new airport project, the region is bound to take the high road in terms of development. “It is a result of the double-engine government of Narendra-Bhupendra that strives to bring the tasks to completion at meteoric pace”, Shri Modi added, “This is the new face of Gujarat.” Gujarat, in the last two decades, has transformed from a state lagging in every field to a thriving industrial and agricultural state. With busy ports and a developing coastline, the lives of the tribal and fisherman community got transformed. Due to the hard work of the people of Gujarat, the Prime Minister said, in the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, a golden age has started for the youth of the state. We should not lose this opportunity by creating an enabling environment free of obstacles, he said. Both policy and intention (Niti and Niyat) are needed for realizing these dreams, he said. He talked about the improved law and order situation in the Bharuch area. He also remembered how agriculture, health and drinking water situations improved over the years. He recalled how, as Chief Minister, he grappled with one issue at a time and solved them. “Today, children do not know the word, curfew, which was common earlier. Today, our daughters are not only living with dignity and working late but also, leading the lives of the communities”, he said. Similarly, education facilities have come up in Bharuch, giving new opportunities to the youth. Due to long-term planning and leveraging of under-utilized resources, Gujarat has emerged as a manufacturing, industrial and business hub and many world-class facilities have emerged here. The Double-Engine Government has become a great example of double benefits, the Prime Minister pointed out. The Prime Minister reiterated his call for vocal-for-local. By resorting to local products and shunning imported products, every citizen can contribute to Aatmnirbhar Bharat, he said. He appealed for using locally made things during Diwali as they will help the local businesses and artisans. He said that the Indian economy has reached the fifth position from 10th place in 2014. The feat was made more momentous by the fact that India surpassed its erstwhile colonial masters. For this youth, farmers, workers, small and big businesses, and industrialists deserve credit, he said. He congratulated the people of Bharuch for getting involved in the noble task of saving lives by manufacturing drugs. Pandemic has made the importance of the pharma sector very clear, he said. “Gujarat helped the country a great deal in the war against Corona. Gujarat accounts for 25 per cent share of the country’s pharma export ”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister also recalled the time when some miscreants obstructed the path of development in Bharuch. He said, “When we came to power in 2014 and Gujarat felt the double-engine power of Narendra and Bhupendra, all obstructions were uprooted.” The Prime Minister pointed out the obstructions created by urban naxals during the development of Sardar Sarovar Dam. Pointing out the prevalence of naxalites in the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, the Prime Minister heaped praises on the tribal communities of Gujarat who did not let naxals pervade the state of Gujarat and saved the lives of the people of the state. The Prime Minister cautioned against letting urban-naxal get any foothold in the state. He said, without ensuring good education in science and mathematics, it is not possible to get proper advantage of affirmative action and other schemes, due to government efforts. Today, tribal youth are getting pilot training and becoming doctors, scientists and lawyers. The Prime Minister informed that the Adivasi community has contributed immensely to the journey of the development of the state and the country, and to honour their contribution the government had declared Janjatiya Gaurav Divas dedicated to the memory of brave tribal freedom fighters on the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda who is revered as by tribal communities across the country. In concluding the address, the Prime Minister said that the development of Bharuch and Ankleshwar is being carried out along the lines of twin city model of development, like that of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. “People are going to talk about Bharuch and Ankleshwar like they talk about New York and New Jersey”, he concluded. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister of Chemical and Fertilisers, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, and Members of Parliament, Shri C R Patil and Shri Mansukh Vasava were those present on the occasion among others. Background In yet another step to make India Aatmanirbhar in the pharmaceutical sector, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of Bulk Drug Park at Jambusar. In 2021-22, bulk drugs accounted for over 60% of total pharmaceutical imports. The project will play a key role in ensuring import substitution and helping make India self-reliant for bulk drugs. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of the Deep Sea Pipeline Project at Dahej, which will help in the disposal of treated wastewater from industrial estates. Other projects whose foundation stone was laid by the Prime Minister include Phase 1 of Ankleshwar Airport and the development of Multilevel Industrial Sheds at Ankleshwar and Panoli, which will give a boost to the MSME sector. The Prime Minister performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the development of multiple industrial parks. These include four Tribal Industrial Parks which will come up in Valia (Bharuch), Amirgadh (Banaskantha), Chakaliya (Dahod) and Vanar (Chhota Udaipur); Agro Food Park at Mudetha (Banaskantha); Sea Food Park at Kakwadi Danti (Valsad); and MSME Park at Khandivav (Mahisagar). During the programme, the Prime Minister dedicated several projects which will give a boost to the chemicals sector. He dedicated 800 TPD Caustic Soda Plant integrated with a 130 MW cogeneration power plant at Dahej. Along with this, he also dedicated the expansion of the existing Caustic Soda Plant at Dahej, whose capacity has been increased from 785 MT/day to 1310 MT/day. The Prime Minister also dedicated a project for manufacturing over one lakh MT per annum of Chloromethanes at Dahej. Other projects which were dedicated by the Prime Minister include the Hydrazine Hydrate Plant at Dahej which will help in import substitution of the product, IOCL Dahej-Koyali Pipeline Project, Bharuch underground drainage and STP work and widening & strengthening of Umlla Asaa Panetha road.",গুজৰাটৰ ভাৰুচৰ আমোদত ৮০০০ কোটিৰো অধিক টকাৰ এলানি প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰাৰ লগতে কেইটামান প্ৰকল্প ৰাষ্ট্ৰৰ নামত উচৰ্গা কৰে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-address-inaugural-session-of-first-all-india-district-legal-services-authorities-meet-on-30th-july/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A9%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address the inaugural session of First All India District Legal Services Authorities Meet at Vigyan Bhawan on 30th July 2022 at 10 AM.

Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Today is a big day for India of the 21st century for urban connectivity and for a self-reliant India. A short while back, I experienced the high speed travel of Gandhinagar-Mumbai Vande Bharat Express. Though the journey lasted only a few minutes, it was, however, a very proud moment for me. This is the country’s third and Gujarat’s first Vande Bharat train. I travelled to Kalupur Metro Station from Kalupur Railway Station and then reached Thaltej by taking Ahmedabad Metro. If somebody is travelling to Gujarat in Vande Bharat, he can board the metro train at the station itself and reach home or go to another part of the city for work. The speed of the train is so fast that I reached Thaltej 20 minutes before the scheduled programme. While I was travelling in the train, the department officials kept telling me about salient features of the train regarding the speed and various systems. But there was another aspect which the department officials did not notice. I liked that and want to share it with you. I am not a mathematician or a scientist, but I could make out that there was very little sound inside the train compared to an airplane. Compared to the Vande Bharat train, the sound is probably more than a hundred times in an airplane. It is very difficult to talk inside an airplane. I noticed that I was very comfortable talking to people because there was hardly any sound in the Vande Bharat train. It means those who are used to airplanes will prefer Vande Bharat trains instead of airplanes if they come to know about the sound aspect. The residents of Ahmedabad will acknowledge me and Ahmedabad for this initiative. For the first time, I have seen the ocean of such a huge crowd in the midst of such oppressive heat during the Navratri festival when Dandiya is at its peak till late in the night and Gujarat has not slept. Though I grew up here, this is for the first time I am experiencing such a huge program organized by Ahmedabad. Therefore, my hundred salutes to the people of Ahmedabad. And that means that the people of Ahmedabad have an understanding of what a Metro is. I once spoke to urban development ministers. I told them they should introduce Metro services all over the country and it is our responsibility, but the people of Ahmedabad would give you the maximum returns. They asked me the reason. I told them that the people of Ahmedabad make account of everything from the auto rickshaw fare to the time spent in the journey and that too in the midst of summer. They will then count the benefits of the Metro train and will shift immediately to Metro trains. The passengers of Ahmedabad will make the maximum benefit out of it. There was a time when the auto rickshaw drivers in Ahmedabad used to sing ‘I am an auto rickshaw driver of Ahmedabad’. Now that song will be sung by those travelling in Metro trains. The more I congratulate and salute Ahmedabad today less, friends. Today, Ahmedabad has won my heart. Brothers and sisters, India of the 21st century is going to get new momentum from the cities of the country. We need to constantly modernize our cities with the changing times and changing needs. It is very necessary to ensure a modern system of transport in the cities, seamless connectivity and one mode of transport should support the other. Those who closely monitor Modi in Gujarat are very good and sharp. Though I don’t know exactly the year, I had organized a global summit regarding multi-modal transportation in Ahmedabad when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Even at that time, I used to think about various modes of connectivity. Since it was the domain of the Indian government, I could not do much then. Now that you have sent me to New Delhi, I accomplished it. I see that vision being realized today. Keeping this in mind, such a huge investment has been made on the infrastructure of cities in the last eight years. Metro has either started its operations or the construction work is going at a fast pace in more than two dozen cities of the country in the last eight years. Dozens of small cities of the country have been connected by air connectivity. The UDAN scheme is playing a big role in providing air facilities in small towns. You are very well aware of the condition of the railway stations in the past. Today, Gandhinagar Railway Station is no less than any airport in the world and two days ago the Government of India gave approval to modernize Ahmedabad railway station as well. Friends, The reason behind so much focus and huge investments on the development of the cities of the country is because these cities are going to ensure the creation of a developed India in the next 25 years. Cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Baroda, Bhopal, Indore, Jaipur, etc are the ones which are going to create the destiny of 25 years of India. These investments are not limited to just connectivity. Rather, smart facilities are being developed in dozens of cities and basic facilities are being improved. Areas around the main cities and suburbs are being developed. Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad are the best examples of how the twin cities develop. The basis for the development of many twin cities in Gujarat is being prepared in the near future. Till now, we used to hear only New York-New Jersey twin city. India cannot be left behind and you can see this in front of your eyes. On the lines of the development of Ahmedabad- Gandhinagar twin city model, we are going to have many such twin cities like Anand-Nadiad, Bharuch- Ankleshwar, Valsad-Vapi, Surat – Navsari, Vadodara-Halol Kalol, Morbi-Wankaner and Mehsana- Kadi which are going to further strengthen the identity of Gujarat. Along with the focus on improving and expanding old cities, new cities are also being built according to the global business demand. GIFT City is also a great example of such plug and play facilities. Friends, I remember presenting a video presentation of my vision regarding the GIFT City around 2005-06. There were many who doubted my vision whether this was possible in our country. I read and heard many such comments. Friends, today, GIFT City is in front of you and is becoming a center providing employment to thousands of people in no time. Friends, There was a time when transport in Ahmedabad meant red buses and rickshaws. Friends, When Gujarat gave me an opportunity to serve, I was fortunate that we were able to work on the BRT corridor. This was also the first in the country. I also had the privilege of undertaking the first journey in a BRT bus. I remember people coming from abroad and insisting their family members travel in BRT buses during their visit to Gujarat next time as they had read and heard a lot about it. Friends, Even then the endeavour was to improve the facilities for the common people and to ensure seamless connectivity for them. And it is the job of democracy and governance that the journey of development has to be run on these two tracks according to the needs of the common citizen and with the determination to take the country to new heights. Today we are witnessing that dream come true. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you on this occasion. Friends, Today the run on about 32 km section of Ahmedabad Metro has been launched today. And you will be surprised to know that the 32-km vast stretch of a metro train, which has been inaugurated today, is a record since the introduction of the Metro in India. It has another feature. Despite the challenges of building a metro track over the railway line, this work has been completed quickly. This also did not require additional land for the Metro. Today the first phase of the Metro has been inaugurated, while Gandhinagar will be connected in Phase 2. Brothers and sisters, The Vande Bharat train started between Ahmedabad and Mumbai will make the journey between the two big cities of the country comfortable and will also reduce the distance. The normal express train takes around seven to eight hours to reach Mumbai from Ahmedabad. Sometimes, it takes longer than that. Shatabdi trains also sometimes take six to seven hours. But the Vande Bharat train will now reach Mumbai from Ahmedabad in five-and-a-half hours. There will be further improvement in it. Presently, Vande Bharat trains are being built in Chennai. Today, I met all the engineers, wiremen, electricians and asked them about the train. They told me to give more orders to them and they would make better and faster versions of Vande Bharat trains in less time. This belief of the engineers and technicians of my country inspires me to say with confidence that the country is going to grow at a much faster rate. Not only this, more passengers will prefer to travel in these trains than other trains. Once I was visiting a station in Kashi and asked about the experience of Vande Bharat trains. The railway officials told me that people prefer Vande Bharat trains the most. I was surprised and asked for the reason. They told me that the poor people and workers prefer this train. They said these people have two logics. One, there is enough space for luggage and second, they reach their destination early and work on the same day and recover the amount of the train ticket the same day. This is the strength of Vande Bharat trains. Friends, On this occasion, I also want to tell you how the Ahmedabad project benefited from the double engine government. When it came to use the Botad rail line for the overhead space metro project, the Central Government immediately approved it. This made it possible to start the work of Metro on the Vasna-Old High Court route immediately. When we started working on the Ahmedabad Metro, the route was planned in such a way that even the poorest of the poor would benefit. It was taken care that Metro passes through the areas where public transport is needed the most and where it takes a lot of time to navigate the narrow roads. Maximum care was taken to make Ahmedabad a hub of multimodal connectivity. A multimodal hub is being developed in Kalupur. Here city buses will be parked on the ground floor in front of the BRT station and there will be facilities for taxis and private cars on the upper floor. There is a new metro station towards Saraspur entry and high speed rail stations are also being connected with drop and pick up and parking facilities. A 13-lane road will be constructed in front of the station to connect Kalupur Road Over Bridge with Saraspur Road Over Bridge. Apart from Kalupur, Sabarmati Bullet Train Station is also being developed as a multimodal transport hub. Friends, The Government of India has launched the FAME scheme for manufacturing and operation of electric buses so that our poor and middle class families get rid of buses emitting smoke. This way the environment will also be protected and people will also get freedom from noise and smoke. Moreover, the speed of these buses is faster. So far, more than 7,000 electric buses have been approved in the country under this scheme. The Central Government is spending about Rs 3,500 crore on these buses. So far, 8,500 electric buses have been approved for Gujarat and many such buses have also hit the road here today. Brothers and sisters, For a long time, no serious efforts were made to free the cities from jams and to increase the speed of our trains. But today’s India considers speed important and a guarantee for fast development. This insistence on speed is reflected today in the GatiShakti National Master Plan, in the National Logistics Policy, and is also evident in the drive to increase the speed of our railways. Today the country’s rail network is rapidly getting ready to run Made-in-India Vande Bharat trains. I firmly believe that these trains with speeds up to 180 kmph will change the condition of Indian Railways and will also change the direction. We are working fast on the target of running 75 Vande Bharat Express trains by August next year. The beauty of India’s Vande Bharat train is that it reaches the speed of 100 kmph in just 52 seconds. When the cheetahs were brought to India, most of the media was discussing the seconds taken by them to reach their maximum speed. This train accelerates in 52 seconds. Friends, Today, a large part of the country’s rail network has been freed from unmanned gates. When the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors are ready, the speed of goods trains will also increase and delays in passenger trains will also be reduced. And friends, when the speed of goods trains will increase, then the ports of Gujarat will start working many times faster than now. India will start reaching all over the world. Our goods will start being exported and the goods that come from abroad will also take us forward very fast, because Gujarat is geographically very close to North India. It is close to the land locked area. Therefore, the coast of Gujarat is likely to benefit the most. Entire Saurashtra and Kutch are going to benefit a lot. Friends, Along with speed, there has also been a big shift about infrastructure development today. In the last eight years, we have linked infrastructure with people’s aspirations. There was a time when announcements regarding infrastructure were made keeping in mind only the electoral gains and losses. The income of the taxpayers was used only for political interests. The double engine government has changed this thinking. The basis of sustainable progress is the infrastructure built with strong and visionary thinking and today India is working with this thinking and is leaving its mark in the world. Friends, We have to give more impetus to the construction of modern infrastructure for building a developed India in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. The double engine government in Gujarat is also making serious efforts in this regard. I believe that with ‘Sabka Prayas’ (everyone’s efforts), we will be able to implement this in the prescribed time. I assure you this. Friends, Today is an important day. But today I want to make one more request to the people of Gujarat. I know many people will come here to see the Metro when it will be thrown open to the public in the next two-four days. But I want our school and engineering students to try to understand the technology used to build these railway stations deep inside the earth with the officials of the Railways, urban ministry and Metro. How much did it cost? Whose money is this? This is the money of the countrymen. If we teach the students regarding how it was implemented, how much time it took to implement the project, what kind of technology was used then it would greatly help in the development of the children. Therefore, I request the education department also to brief the travelers of the Metro train about its various aspects, how it was constructed, how it functions, how the tunnel was made deep inside the earth and how such long tunnels were made. They will develop belief in how technology is paving for the development of the country and their ownership will also increase. When the young generation of the country will be made to believe that this belongs to them and for their future they will also realize the importance of not destroying such properties during any agitation. They will feel the same pain when their own property is destroyed. A person is distraught when any damage is done to his cycle. Similarly, he will feel the same way if any damage is done to the Metro. But it is our collective responsibility that we teach our young generation and awaken their consciousness. The picture of Maa Bharati should flash their finds at the mention of Vande Bharat. They should have this feeling that Vande Bharat is running for the bright future of my Mother India and Vande Bharat is going to charge the country. This should be their temperament and sensitivity. There is a provision in the National Education Policy to take the children to all such places for first-hand experience. If there is an earthen pot in the house, he should be taken to the potter to see how he makes pots. He should also be shown this Metro station and briefed about all the systems. It will have a lasting effect on the children and they will also develop the feeling of becoming engineers to do something for the country. Friends, such dreams can be sown in them. Therefore, the Metro is not only meant for travel, but it should also pave the way for success. With this belief, I feel proud and satisfied while presenting this great gift to the people of Ahmedabad, Gujarat and the country and congratulate them. Raise your hands and speak with me with all your might: Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai!

The Country celebrated Republic Day yesterday. In some ways, the laying of foundation stone of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Madurai today reflects our vision of “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat”. Friends, We all know that AIIMS in Delhi has cultivated a brand name for itself in health care. With AIIMS in Madurai, we can say that this brand of health care has been taken to all corners of the country – from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to Madurai; and from Guwahati to Gujarat. AIIMS at Madurai will be constructed at a cost of more than rupees sixteen hundred crores. It will benefit the entire population of Tamil Nadu. Friends, The NDA Government is giving great priority to the heath sector, so that everyone is healthy and health-care is affordable. Under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana, we have supported up gradation of Government Medical Colleges across India. Today I am happy to inaugurate the Super Specialty Blocks of Madurai, Thanjavur and Tirunelveli Medical Colleges. The speed and scale at which Mission Indradhanush is working is setting a new paradigm in preventive healthcare. Pradhan Mantri Matritva Vandana Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan is making safe pregnancy a mass movement. The number of under-graduate medical seats have been increased by almost 30 percent in the last 4 and half years. The launch of Ayushman Bharat is also a big step. It is a carefully thought out approach to ensure achievement of universal health coverage for our country. Ayushman Bharat seeks to undertake path breaking interventions to holistically address health issues. One Point Five lakh Health & Wellness Centres are being set up to provide comprehensive primary care and preventive health services. Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana provides financial protection upto Rupees 5 lakh per family per year to over 10 crore needy families in case of hospitalization. It is the largest Health Insurance Scheme in the world. I am happy to learn that one core fifty seven lakh persons of Tamil Nadu State are covered under this Scheme. In just over three months about 89 thousand beneficiaries were admitted and an amount of more than rupees two hundred crore has been authorized for admitted patients of Tamil Nadu. I am also happy to learn that Tamil Nadu has already started one thousand three hundred and twenty Health & Wellness Centres. On the disease control front, we are providing technical and financial support to states. Our Government is committed to TB elimination by 2025. I am happy to learn that the state Government is up-scaling the TB Free Chennai initiative and seeking to eliminate TB in the state by 2023 itself. I compliment the state for their commitment towards implementation of all aspects of the Revised National TB Control Program. I assure that the Government of India stands committed for extending all necessary support for efforts of the state in tackling these diseases. Today I am also happy to dedicate 12 Post Office Passport Sewa Kendras in Tamil Nadu. This initiative is one more example of improving the “ease of living” to our citizens. I once again assure that my government is committed to strengthen the initiatives in health care to ensure universal health coverage.

The approval would ensure auction of mineral blocks in respect of Glauconite, Potash, Emerald, Platinum Group of Metals, Andalusite and Molybdenum thereby reducing import of these minerals, generating empowerment opportunity in the mining sector as well as manufacturing sector which will help in ensuring inclusive growth of a large section of the society. Rate of royalty for Andalusite, Sillimanite and Kyanite which are mineral polymorphs are kept at the same level. The approval will lead to import substitution in respect of many important minerals for the economy of the country thereby saving valuable forex reserves. It will reduce country’s foreign dependency through the local production of minerals. The approval would ensure auction of mineral blocks in respect of Glauconite, Potash, Emerald, Platinum Group of metals, Andalusite and Molybdenum for the first time in the country. The Act was amended in 2015 to usher in new regime of granting mineral concessions through auction to ensure transparency and non-discrimination in allocation of mineral wealth of the country. Auction regime has matured since then. To give further impetus to the mineral sector, the Act has been further amended in 2021. Under the reforms, the Government has given major boost to auction of mineral blocks, increasing production, improving ease of doing business in the country and increasing contribution of mineral production to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Ministry of Mines, led by the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat given by Hon’ble Prime Minister, has also taken steps for increasing exploration of minerals in the country, which has led to availability of more blocks for auction. Exploration activities have increased not only for traditional minerals such as iron ore, bauxite, limestone but also for deep-seated minerals, fertilizer minerals, critical minerals and minerals which are imported. In the last 4-5 years, Central Agencies like Geological Survey of India and Mineral Exploration Corporation Ltd. have carried out exploration and handed over reports to the State Governments of several blocks of minerals which are hitherto not mined in the country. When it comes to minerals such as Glauconite/ Potash, Emerald, Platinum Group of Metals (PGM), Andalusite and Molybdenum, the country is totally dependent on import of these minerals for meeting our requirements. As a major step towards mineral self-sufficiency, many State Governments have identified such mineral blocks for auction. However, the rate of royalty for these minerals were not separately provided and was not appropriate for giving impetus to mining of these minerals. Accordingly, the Ministry had proposed reasonable rates of Royalty in order to encourage better participation in auction, which has been approved by the Union Cabinet led by Hon’ble Prime Minister. These rates have been fixed after extensive consultations with the State Governments and various Ministries/ Department of the Central Government. The Ministry of Mines will also provide methodology for calculation of Average Sale Price (ASP) of these minerals required for enabling auction of these mineral blocks. With the active cooperation of the State Governments, more than 145 mineral blocks have been successfully auctioned in the country. With further impetus given by the reforms made in the year 2021, more than 146 blocks have been put up for auction in the financial year 2021-22. Of this, 34 blocks have been successfully auctioned in the financial year. Specification of Royalty and ASP for the minerals like Glauconite/ Potash, Emerald, Platinum Group of Metals (PGM), Andalusite and Molybdenum would increase number of blocks for auction. Minerals like Glauconite and Potash are used as fertilizer in agriculture. Platinum Group of Metals (PGM) are high value metal used in various industries and new innovative applications. Minerals like Andalusite, molybdenum are vital minerals used in industrial applications. Encouraging indigenous mining of these minerals is in the National interest that would lead to reduction in imports in potash fertilizers and other minerals. This step taken by the Ministry of Mines is also expected to increase generation of employment in mining sector. It will also ensure increased availability of mineral for the downstream industries and support agriculture.","কেতবোৰ খনিজ পদাৰ্থৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত ৰয়েলিটিৰ হাৰ নিৰ্ধাৰণৰ অৰ্থে খনি আৰু খনিজ (উন্নয়ন আৰু নিয়ন্ত্ৰণ) আইন, ১৯৫৭ ৰ দ্বিতীয় অনুসূচীৰ সংশোধনত অনুমোদন কেবিনেট" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-address-the-inaugural-session-of-jito-connect-2022-on-6th-may/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%AC-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8B-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%89/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address the inaugural session of Jain International Trade Organisation’s ‘JITO Connect 2022’ on 6th May 2022 at 10:30 AM via video conferencing.

The opening up of the TKDL database to users is an ambitious and forward-looking action by the Government of India. This will be a new dawn for Indian traditional knowledge, as the TKDL will drive research & development, and innovation based on India’s valued heritage across diverse fields. The opening up of the TKDL is also envisaged to inculcate thought and knowledge leadership through Bharatiya Gnana Parampara, under the New Education Policy 2020. Indian traditional knowledge (TK) offers immense potential to serve national and global needs, therewith providing societal benefits as well as economic growth. For example, the traditional systems of medicine and wellness from our country, namely Ayurveda. Siddha, Unani, Sowa Rigpa, and Yoga are serving the needs of people from India and abroad even today. The recent COVID- 19 pandemic has also been witnessing extensive use of Indian traditional medicines whose benefits range from immune-boosting to symptoms-relief to anti-viral activity. Earlier this year in April, the World Health Organization (WHO) established its first off-shore Global Centre for Traditional Medicines (GCTM) in India. These demonstrate the continued relevance of traditional knowledge in address the current and emerging needs of the world. The approval of the Cabinet to widen the access of the database beyond patent offices lays emphasis on integrating and co-opting traditional knowledge with current practices towards enhancing innovation and trade. The TKDL will act as an important sources of TK information for advancing knowledge and technology frontiers. The current contents of TKDL shall facilitate wider adoption of Indian traditional medicines, while also propelling new manufacturers and innovators to gainfully build enterprises based on our valuable knowledge heritage. The TKDL can cater to a vast user base that would include businesses/companies {herbal healthcare (AYUSH, pharmaceuticals, phytopharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals), personal care, and other FMCG}, research institutions: public and private; educational institutions: educators & students; and others: ISM practitioners, knowledge holders, patentees and their legal representatives, and government, among several others. The access to the TKDL database would be through a paid subscription model with a phase-wise opening to national and international users. In future, more information on Indian traditional knowledge from other domains will be added to the TKDL database from the perspectives of the “3P – Preservation. Protection and Promotion”. While catering to its primary mandate of preventing grant of wrong patents on Indian traditional knowledge, the TKDL database will also push creative minds to innovate for better, safer and more effective solutions for a healthier and technology endowed population. India’s rich heritage shall lay a strong foundation for newer socio-economic developments. About TKDL: The Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) is a prior art database of Indian traditional knowledge established in 2001, jointly by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and Department of Indian Systems of Medicine and Homeopathy (ISM&H, now Ministry of AYUSH). The TKDL is a first of its kind globally and has been serving as an exemplary model to other nations. The TKDL currently contains information from existing literature related to ISM such as Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa and Yoga. The information is documented in a digitized format in five international languages which are English, German, French, Japanese and Spanish. TKDL provides information in languages and format understandable by patent examiners at Patent Offices worldwide, so as to prevent the erroneous grant of patents. Until now, access to the complete TKDL database is restricted to 14 Patent Offices worldwide for the purposes of search and examination. This defensive protection through TKDL has been effective in safeguarding Indian traditional knowledge from misappropriation, and is considered a global benchmark.",পেটেণ্ট কাৰ্যালয়সমূহৰ উপৰি পৰম্পৰাগত জ্ঞান ডিজিটেল লাইব্ৰেৰী(টিকেডিএল)ৰ তথ্য ব্যৱহাৰকাৰীসকলে ব্যাপক হাৰত আহৰণত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-remembers-acharya-kripalani-on-his-jayanti/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi remembered Acharya Kripalani for his contribution to India’s freedom struggle.

First of all, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Chancellor Scholz for the warm welcome extended to me and my delegation. I am happy that my first foreign trip of the year is taking place in Germany. My first telephone conversation with a foreign leader earlier this year was also with my friend, Chancellor Scholz. For Chancellor Scholz, today’s India-Germany IGC is the first IGC with any country this year.These many firsts show how much priority both India and Germany are giving to this important partnership. As democracies, India and Germany share many common values. On the basis of these shared values and shared interests, there has been remarkable progress in our bilateral relations over the years. Our last IGC was held in 2019.Significant changes have taken place in the world since then. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the global economy. Recent geopolitical events also showed how fragile world peace and stability is, and how inter-connected all countries are.From the very beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, we called for an immediate cease-fire, insisting that dialogue is the only way to resolve the dispute. We believe that there will be no winning party in this war, everyone will suffer. That is why we are in favour of peace.Oil prices are skyrocketing due to the turmoil triggered by the Ukraine conflict; there is also shortage of food grains and fertilizers in the world. This has burdened every family in the world, but its impact on developing and poor countries will be even more serious. India is deeply concerned by the humanitarian impact of this conflict. We have sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine on our behalf. We are also trying to help other friendly countries through food exports, oil supplies and economic assistance. Today, the India-Germany partnership has got a new direction from its sixth IGC. This IGC has given important guidance to our cooperation in both energy and environment sectors. I am confident that the decisions taken today will have a positive impact on the future of our region and the world. Today, we are pursuing the Indo-Germany Partnership on Green and Sustainable Development.India has shown to the world that green and sustainable growth is an article of faith for us by raising its climate ambition in Glasgow. Under this new partnership, Germany has decided to support India’s green growth plans with an additional development assistance of 10 billion euros by 2030. For this I thank Germany and Chancellor Scholz. Considering our complementary strengths, we have also decided to create a Green Hydrogen Task Force. This will be very useful in enhancing the green hydrogen infrastructure in both the countries. Both India and Germany have long experience in development cooperation in other countries. Today, we have decided to combine our experiences and work on joint projects in third countries through trilateral cooperation. Our cooperation will provide an alternative to transparent and sustainable development projects for the developing world. Friends, In the post-COVID era, India is witnessing the fastest growth compared to other growing economies. We are confident that India will be an important pillar of global recovery. Recently, we signed trade agreements with the UAE and Australia in a very short time. We, even with the EU, are committed to early progress in the FTA negotiations. India’s skilled workers and professionals have benefited the economies of many countries. I am confident that the Comprehensive Migration and Mobility Partnership Agreement between India and Germany will facilitate movement between the two countries. I once again thank you very much for this summit and your initiative.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ প্ৰেছ বিবৃতিৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-address-14th-foundation-day-celebration-of-umiya-mata-temple-at-gathila-junagadh-on-the-occasion-of-ram-navami/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%AE/,"On the occasion of Ram Navami, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address the 14th Foundation Day celebration at Umiya Mata Temple at Gathila, Junagadh in Gujarat on 10th April, 2022 at 1 PM via video conferencing.

Born in the soil of Paraunkh village, Hon’ble President Ramnath Kovind ji, Hon’ble Smt. Savita Kovind ji, Uttar Pradesh Governor Smt. Anandiben Patel, the popular Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath ji, my colleagues in the Council of Ministers sitting on the stage, ministers of Uttar Pradesh, MPs, MLAs and my dear brothers and sisters who have come in such a large number! Since the President told me to come here, I was eager to come here and meet you. It was really nice to come here today and I felt very relaxed. This village has seen the childhood of the President and also being the pride of every Indian as well. Before coming here, the President shared many memories of this village with me. I came to know that when he was admitted to a school in a village 5-6 miles away after fifth grade, he used to run barefoot to school and this run was not meant for health, but to avoid blisters on feet on the scorching pathway. Imagine a child studying in class V running barefoot to his school on scorching afternoons. Such struggles in life and penance help a person a lot to become a good human being. Today, this experience of visiting the village of the President is a memorable event for me. Brothers and sisters, When I was visiting different places with the President, I felt many ideal images of an Indian village in Paraunkh. I got the opportunity to seek the blessings of Pathri Mata. Along with the spiritual aura of this village and the region, this temple is also a symbol of ‘Ek Bharat- Shreshtha Bharat’. I can say that it is such a temple where there is devotion as well as patriotism. Patriotism, because I bow to the thinking and imagination of the President’s father! He used to leave his home for pilgrimages and visit different places to take the blessings of God. He went to different places, including Badrinath, Kedarnath, Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura. His financial condition at that time was not such that he could bring ‘prasad’ (God’s offering) for the entire village. But his imagination was very rich as he used to bring a few stones from the premises of the temples he visited and put them under a tree. The villagers would develop a religious feeling and start worshipping that place as a temple because that stone belonged to a particular place, temple, or a river. Therefore, I say that there is devotion as well as patriotism in this temple. The President’s father used to worship in this temple. While visiting this holy temple, it is natural that different thoughts were swirling in my mind. I am blessed that I got the opportunity to visit this temple. Friends, Today the world is witness to the values that the President has received from the soil of Paraunkh. Despite being a Constitutional head, the President lived up to the values and surprised me by breaking the protocol to receive me at the helipad. I felt very sorry as we are working under his guidance and his position has dignity and primacy. I told the President that he had done injustice to me today. But he said spontaneously that he upholds the dignity of the Constitution, but sometimes values are equally important. ‘Today you have come to my village. I have come here to welcome the guest and not as the President. I am welcoming you today as a citizen of the village from where I started my life as a child.’ Today the President has presented an excellent example of how the values of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ (guests are equivalent to God) have become the character of India. I bow respectfully to the President. The President gave his ancestral residence to be developed as a ‘Milan Kendra’ (meeting center). Today it is giving new strength to women empowerment in the form of consultations and training center. With his efforts, a center of inspiration for the ideals of Baba Saheb has also been built here in the form of Ambedkar Bhawan. I am sure that Paraunkh will move forward on the path of development even faster, and will present a model of rural development in front of the country with your collective efforts. Friends, No matter where we reach or we settle in big cities or any corner of the world, if we have breathed our village, our village never leaves us. It lives in our veins and is always in our thoughts. That’s why we say that the soul of India resides in the village, because the village resides in our souls. At a time when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of its independence, our dreams for rural India, for our villages, become even more important. During our freedom struggle, Mahatma Gandhi saw the villages as a link to the independence of India. An Indian village where there is spirituality, ideals, traditions as well as progress. An Indian village where there is culture, co-operation, equality and love too! Today it is our duty to reorganize and resurrect such villages during the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. With this resolve, the country is working in different dimensions for villages, poor, agriculture, farmers and the democracy at Panchayat level. Today the roads are being built, optical fiber is being laid, houses are being built and LED street lights are being installed in villages rapidly. The thinking and the resolution of New India is that our villages should also walk step by step along with the cities on every path of development. Did anyone imagine that drones will carry out the most difficult tasks related to agriculture? But today the country is moving in this direction. I have been told that more than 300 people have been given ‘Gharauni’ (property documents) in this village also. We are moving in the direction to ensure how to increase both the convenience and income of the farmers through technology. Farmers, Our villages have tremendous potential, labor force and dedication. Therefore, the empowerment of the villages of India is one of the top priorities of our government. Crores of villagers have benefited, be it through the Jan Dhan Yojana, Awas Yojana, gas connection under Ujjwala scheme, Har Ghar Jal campaign, or the Ayushman Bharat Yojana. The speed with which the country has worked for the welfare of the poor is unprecedented. The goal of the country is to ensure 100 percent of the benefits of every scheme to the beneficiaries, i.e. cent percent empowerment. No discrimination, no difference! That is social justice. This was the dream of harmony and equality of Baba Saheb, on whose basis he gave us our constitution. That dream of Baba Saheb is being fulfilled today. The country is moving in that direction. Friends, Today’s occasion is very historic for one more thing. Everybody should take note of it because it demonstrates the strength of the country’s democracy and villages. Hon’ble President, UP Governor Anandiben Patel ji and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji are present on the dais. You have also entrusted me with such a huge responsibility for the service of the country. All four of us belong to some small village or town and have reached this position. I too was born in a small town in Gujarat. The culture, values of our village, and our struggles have shaped so many people like us and strengthened our values. This is the strength of our democracy. Even the poorest person born in the village of India can reach the post of President, Prime Minister, Governor, or Chief Minister. But brothers and sisters, Today when we are discussing the power of democracy, then we also need to be careful about the challenges like nepotism. It is nepotism which throttles talents not only in politics but in every field and prevents them from moving forward. However friends, When I talk against nepotism, some people think that this is a political statement and they run the propaganda that I am talking against a political party. I see that those who fit my definition of nepotism are furious with me, they are very angry. Such families are uniting against me across the length and breadth of the country. They are also angry about why the youth of the country are taking Modi’s words against nepotism so seriously. Friends, I want to tell these people not to misinterpret my words. I have no personal resentment towards any political party or any person. I want that there should be a strong opposition in the country and there should be political parties dedicated to democracy. I want the parties trapped in the clutches of nepotism to free themselves from this disease and cure themselves. Only then the democracy of India will flourish and the youth of the country will get maximum opportunity to join politics. Well, I am expecting too much from the dynastic parties. Therefore, I urge you that it is our responsibility not to allow evils like nepotism to flourish in the country. It is very important to stop the dynastic parties so that the poor sons and the daughters of the villages can also become President and Prime Minister. Friends, I want to ask for a gift from the village of the President. You will feel what kind of Prime Minister is this, who came to our village, brought nothing and is rather asking something from us. Will you give it to me? Will those who have come from different villages also give it to me? See, you have developed your village so much. Now that the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of its independence, you need to increase your efforts. During ‘Amrit Kaal’, the country has taken a pledge to build 75 Amrit Sarovars (ponds) in every district of the country. And Yogi ji was also telling us that two Amrit Sarovars are being built in Paraunkh too. You have to help in the construction of the Amrit Sarovar, perform ‘kar seva’ (voluntary contribution of physical labour) and also maintain its grandeur. I also demand one more thing from you and I am sure that you will fulfill this demand and that is natural farming. If more and more farmers adopt natural farming in Paraunkh village, then it will become a great example for the country. Friends, There is only one way to India’s success – ‘Sabka Prayas’ (everyone’s efforts). The dream of self-reliant India will also be fulfilled with everyone’s efforts. Self-reliant India means self-reliant villages, self-reliant youth. If our villages pick up pace, the country will gain momentum. If our villages develop, the country will also develop. Paraunkh, which gave the President to the country in the form of respected Kovind ji, has proved how much power is there in the soil of the villages. We have to make good use of this potential and talent. We should all work together and fulfill the dreams of the country. With this resolve, I once again express my heartfelt gratitude to the Hon’ble President for giving me the opportunity to come here with him. I also compliment all of you from my heart for greeting me with enthusiasm, showering flowers and love wherever I went in the village. I am overwhelmed with this love and will never forget this love. I will never forget your hospitality. My childhood was revived during the time I spent in the village. I end my speech by heartily congratulating all of you. Thanks a lot!2",উত্তৰ প্ৰদেশৰ কানপুৰৰ পৰৌংখ গাঁৱত অনুষ্ঠিত এক সমাৰোহত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-i2u2-summit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%87%E0%A7%A8%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%89%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4/,"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Lapid, Your Highness, Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Your Excellency, President Biden, First of all, many congratulations and best wishes to Prime Minister Lapid on assuming the office as the Prime Minister.

Nirmala Sitharaman ji, Shri Rao Inderjit Singh, Pankaj Choudhary ji, Shri Bhagwat Krishnarao Karad ji, other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! Over the years, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Corporate Affairs have come a long way creating a legacy for themselves by taking the right decisions at the right time. All of you are a part of this legacy. Many colleagues have made a huge contribution in the last 75 years whether it is to make the life of the common people easier, or to strengthen the economy of the country. This iconic week is an opportunity for every such colleague to vitalize every such effort of the past. This is a very good step if we can improve our efforts by taking inspiration from the past during the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of Independence. Today, the glorious journey of the rupee was also shown here, a digital exhibition acquainted with this journey also started, and new coins dedicated to the Amrit Mahotsav of independence were also issued. These new coins will constantly remind the people of the country about the goals of ‘Amrit Kaal’ and inspire them to contribute to the development of the nation. Your department is going to organize many programs in the next one week. I convey my best wishes to all the departments and units involved in this virtuous work. Friends, This Amrit Mahotsav of independence is not just a celebration of 75 years, but celebrating, fulfilling and instilling a new potential to the dreams of our heroes of independence for independent India, who took part in the long struggle for independence; added a different dimension to this movement and intensified its energy. This is the moment to move forward with new resolutions. Some adopted the path of Satyagraha, while some chose the path of armed struggle; some chose the path of faith and spirituality, while some used the power of their pen to awaken the flame of freedom intellectually. Someone tried to add vigor in the independence of the country by fighting the court cases. When we are celebrating 75 years of independence, it is the duty of every countryman to make a special contribution at his own level in the development of the nation. As a nation, India has constantly taken new steps at different levels and tried to do novel things in the last eight years. The public participation over the period has given impetus to the development of the country, empowering the poorest of the poor citizens of the country. The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan offered the poor to live with dignity. Facilities like pucca house, electricity, gas, water and free treatment not only increased the facilities, but also improved the dignity of our poor and instilled a new energy in the self-confidence of our citizens. The free ration scheme eased the fear of hunger of more than 80 crore countrymen during the Corona period. We included more than half of the country’s population, which was deprived of the formal system and was excluded from the country’s development, on mission mode. Such a great work of financial inclusion has not happened anywhere in the world in such a short time. And most of all, we got to see a new courage among the people of the country to make their dreams come true. Friends, People-centric governance and good governance is at the center of such a big change that has come after seven decades of independence. There was a time when policies and decisions in our country were government-centric. It was the responsibility of the people to reach out to the government to take advantage of any scheme. In such a system, the responsibility of both the government and the administration was diminished. Earlier a poor student in need of financial help for studies was forced to take help from his family, relatives or friends. There were so many processes involved in government schemes that he would find it difficult and tiresome to avail of that help. Similarly, if an entrepreneur or a businessman needed a loan, he too had to make rounds of many departments and go through many procedures. Often, he could not access the website of the ministry due to incomplete information. In such circumstances, whether it is a student or a businessman, he would give up his dreams in the middle and not take any steps to realize them. The country has borne the brunt of government-centric governance in the past. But today the India of the 21st century has moved ahead with the approach of people-centric governance. It is the people who have sent us here for their service. Therefore, it is our top priority and responsibility that we reach out to the public, to reach every eligible person, and ensure full benefits for him. Instead of going through different websites of different ministries, it is better that he has access to one portal of the Government of India for the solution of his problems. Today ‘Jan Samarth’ portal has been launched with this goal in mind. Now all the credit-linked schemes of the Government of India will not be available on different micro sites, but at one place. The Jan Samarth portal will not only make the life of students, entrepreneurs, traders, businessmen and farmers easy, but will also help them in realizing their dreams. Now students will be able to easily get information about the government schemes which will benefit them the most. Similarly, our youth will be able to decide whether they want a Mudra loan or a Start-up India loan. Now the youth and the middle-class people of the country have got a platform in the form of Jan Samarth for end-to-end delivery. With easier and minimum procedures, it is also natural that more and more people will come forward to take loans. This portal is going to play an important role in increasing self-employment and taking the government schemes to all the beneficiaries. I especially congratulate the youth of the country for the Jan Samarth portal. Today the bigwigs of the banking sector are also present in this program. I urge all the bankers to increase their participation as much as possible to make it easier for the youth to get loans and to make the Jan Samarth portal a success. Friends, If the goal of any reform is clear and there is seriousness about its implementation, then its good results are sure to come. In the reforms undertaken in the last eight years, great priority has also been given to the youth of our country to showcase their potential. Greater emphasis has been laid so that our youth can easily open the company of their choice, set up their enterprises easily and run them easily. Therefore, by reducing more than 30,000 compliances, abolishing more than 1500 laws, decriminalizing many provisions of the Companies Act, we have ensured that the companies of India not only grow but achieve new heights. Friends, Along with reforms we have also focused on simplification. GST has now replaced the web of many taxes at the Centre and the states. The country is also witnessing the result of this simplification. Now it has become normal for GST collection to cross one lakh crore rupees every month. We are also seeing a steady increase in the number of EPFO registrations. Moving beyond reforms and simplification, we are now building an accessible system. It has become very easy for entrepreneurs and enterprises to sell their products to the government due to the GeM portal. In this also, the purchase figure is crossing one lakh crore rupees. The Invest India portal has all the information regarding the possibilities for investment in the country. Today there is a single window clearance portal for various types of clearances. This Jan Samarth portal is also going to help the youth and the start ups of the country a lot. Today if we move forward with the power of reform, simplification and ease, then a new level of facilities is attained. It is the responsibility of all of us to provide modern facilities to all the countrymen, make new efforts for them, and realize new resolutions. Friends, In the last eight years, we have demonstrated that if India is determined to do something, then it becomes a new hope for the whole world. Today the world is looking towards us with hope and expectations, not just as a big consumer market, but as a capable, game changer, creative and innovative ecosystem. A large part of the world expects India to solve its problems. This is being possible because we have trusted the wisdom of the common Indian in the last eight years. We encouraged the people as intelligent participants in growth. We have full faith in the people of the country that whatever technology will be brought for good governance, it will be accepted and appreciated by the people of the country. The result of this public trust is in front of everyone in the form of the world’s best digital transaction platform UPI i.e. Unified Payment Interface. Today, the street vendors and the countrymen in far-flung villages to the localities of cities are easily doing transactions ranging from Rs 10-20 to lakhs of rupees. We also had great faith in the passion for innovation and entrepreneurship among the youth of India. The platform of Start-up India was created to give way to this hidden passion among the youth of the country. Today there are about 70,000 start-ups in the country and every day dozens of new members are being added to it. Friends, Self-motivation and everyone’s efforts have played a big role in what the country is achieving today. The countrymen have become emotionally attached to campaigns like AtmaNirbhar Bharat and Vocal for Local. As a result, the role of the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Corporate Affairs has also increased a lot. Now we have to reach the saturation of schemes faster. We have prepared platforms for financial inclusion, now we have to increase awareness about their use. Efforts should now be made so that the financial solutions, which have been prepared for India, should now give solutions to the citizens of other countries of the world. It is also important to focus on how our banks can become a wider part of international trade and currency international supply chain. I am sure that you will continue to encourage better financial and corporate governance during the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. I end my speech by wishing many good wishes to all the colleagues present at 75 places for this program.

Thus, Interest Subvention of 1.5% will be provided to lending institutions (Public Sector Banks, Private Sector Bank, Small Finance Banks, Regional Rural Banks, Cooperative Banks and Computerized PACS directly ceded with commercial banks) for the financial year 2022-23 to 2024-25 for lending short term agri-loans upto Rs 3 lakh to the farmers. This increase in Interest Subvention support requires additional budgetary provisions of Rs 34,856 crore for the period of 2022-23 to 2024-25 under the scheme. Benefits: Increase in Interest Subvention will ensure sustainability of credit flow in the agriculture sector as well as ensure financial health and viability of the lending institutions especially Regional Rural Banks & Cooperative Banks, ensuring adequate agriculture credit in rural economy. Banks will be able to absorb increase in cost of funds and will be encouraged to grant loans to farmers for short term agriculture requirements and enable more farmers to get the benefit of agriculture credit. This will also lead to generation of employment since short term agri-loans are provided for all activities including Animal Husbandry, Dairying, Poultry, fisheries. Farmers will continue to avail short term agriculture credit at interest rate of 4% per annum while repaying the loan in time. Background: Ensuring hassle-free credit availability at cheaper rate to farmers has been the top priority of Government of India. Accordingly, Kisan Credit Card scheme was introduced for farmers, to empower them to purchase agriculture products and services on credit at any time. To ensure that the farmers have to pay a minimal interest rate to the bank, the Government of India introduced Interest Subvention Scheme (ISS), now renamed as Modified Interest Subvention Scheme (MISS), to provide short term credit to farmers at subsidized interest rates. Under this scheme, short term agriculture loan upto Rs. 3.00 lakh is available to farmers engaged in Agriculture and other allied activities including Animal Husbandry, Dairying, Poultry, fisheries etc. at the rate of 7% p.a. An additional 3% subvention (Prompt Repayment Incentive – PRI) is also given to the farmers for prompt and timely repayment of loans. Therefore, if a farmer repays his loan on time, he gets credit at the rate of 4% p.a. For enabling this facility to the farmers, Government of India provides Interest Subvention (IS) to the Financial Institutions offering this scheme. This support is 100% funded by the Centre, it is also the second largest scheme of DA&FW as per budget outlay and coverage of beneficiaries. Recently, under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign, over 3.13 Crore farmers have been issued new Kisan Credit Card (KCC) against the target of 2.5 Crore. Special initiatives such as the KCC Saturation Drive for farmers enrolled under PM-KISAN scheme have also simplified the process and documentation involved for getting the KCC sanctioned. Keeping in view the changing economic scenario, especially increase in the interest rate and lending rates for the financial institutions especially Cooperative Banks and Regional Rural Banks, The Government has reviewed the rate of Interest subvention provided to these Financial Institutions. It is expected that this will ensure adequate credit flow in agriculture sector to the farmer as well as ensure financial health of lending institutions. To address this challenge, Government of India has proactively decided to restore Interest Subvention on short term agriculture loans to 1.5% for all financial institutions.",৩ লাখ টকা পৰ্যন্ত ‘হ্ৰস্বম্যাদী কৃষি ঋণ’ৰ সুদৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত বছৰি ১.৫% ৰাজসাহায্য আগবঢ়োৱাৰ সিদ্ধান্তলৈ অনুমোদন জনাইছে কেবিনেট https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/india-bangladesh-joint-statement-during-the-state-visit-of-prime-minister-of-bangladesh-to-india/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-6/,"1.

In addition to having affordable LED bulbs, the households that have been using them have been able to save around Rs. 15,000 crore in electricity bills per year. Today, every Indian has been working towards realising the dream of a New India. We have been moving in the direction of an India where the poorest of the poor person gets the equal opportunity for progress, where the poorest of the poor person can see dreams and fulfill them. Today, I see a Mini India before me. Indians from every corner of the country, Indians working in different sectors, present a grand view. I’ve visited Oman nearly 10 years ago. I was going to Africa as then chief minister of Gujarat and during that journey I had passed through Salala. I was longing to visit Oman to meet all of you, to be amongst you. Today, that opportunity has come. Relations between India and Oman are hundreds of, thousands of years old. From the last three years, we have been giving a new shape to India’s ancient and friendly relations with the gulf countries as per the present requirement by formulating a policy. You people would have also noticed as to what extent the interest of gulf countries in India has gone up along with India’s rising stature and progress. Naturally, there is a new momentum in India’s historic relations with Oman. His Majesty Sultan also has a distinguished relation with India. Today, my presence in this stadium named after His Majesty Sultan to have an audience with you people in such a large numbers has a special importance. This reflects that how much warmth His Majesty Sultan himself has shown for India and Indians. We are extremely grateful to him for this special gesture. We have been working to make the life of the common man of the country easier by following the formula of: Minimum Government – Maximum Governance. We have included all these things in culture of the government: simplification of the processes; repealing unnecessary laws; reducing the size of forms in the government office from 40-50 pages to 4-5 pages; creating system for online filling of those forms; giving a sincere hearing to the grievances of the people and work on them. In the changed India, now the poor people are not being insultingly turned back from the banks. In the changed India, the government is coming home to provide the gas connection, to provide the electricity connection. The poor people have been given life and safety insurance at a premium of 90 paise per day and one rupee per day. An amount of Rs. 2,000 crore has been disbursed as the claim to poor people under these insurance schemes. We have announced such a scheme in the budget that has grabbed the attention of the entire world. Under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme we have been providing for the health insurance to 10 crore poor families of the country, it means nearly 45-50 crore people. We have given assurance for the free treatment of up to Rs. 5 lakh to a poor family. At present, the next generation infrastructure is being developed in the country by taking into account the requirement of the 21st century. Especially, we have been developing the transport sector in such a manner that different components complement each other. Highways, airways, railways and waterways, all these have been integrated as per the requirement of each other. The work to construct 53 thousand kilometer long national highways has been started under the Bharatmala project. The work to develop railway corridors in different parts of the country has been going on. Metro rail has been expanded to 11 large cities of the country. We have been operating a programme under the name of Sagarmala to develop the coastal economy of the country and infrastructure related with it. We have started a Blue Revolution scheme for the brothers from the fishing community and we have been helping them to purchase modern trawlers. Also, the government has been developing more than 110 waterways in the country. Now, the decisions are not delayed in India; now the challenges are being confronted. The projects are being completed on time by setting the target. This is an example of changing work culture of India. It’s an example of a New India. The country’s funds are saved when the decisions are taken with a clear conscience and as per a well laid out policy. When the work is being carried out in an efficient manner, when the present resources are being utilised in the best possible manner then the country’s funds are saved. I consider you people an important partner in the development of the country and in the nation building.

It is a part of our efforts aimed at providing top class infrastructure to our urban centres. The Terminal is beautiful and passenger friendly! Glad to have inaugurated it.” Background Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru is built at a cost of around Rs. 5000 crores. The terminal will double the passenger handling capacity of the airport to 5-6 crore passengers per annum, from the current capacity of about 2.5 crores. Terminal 2 is designed as a tribute to the Garden city of Bengaluru and the passenger experience is meant to be a “walk in the garden”. Passengers will travel through 10,000+ square metres of green walls, hanging gardens and outdoor gardens. The Airport has already established a benchmark in sustainability with 100% usage of renewable energy across the campus. Terminal 2 has been created with sustainability principles woven into the design. Based on the sustainability initiatives, Terminal 2 will be the largest terminal in the world to be pre-certified platinum rating by US GBC (green building council) prior to commencing operations. The theme of ‘Naurasa’ unites all the commissioned artworks for Terminal 2. The artworks reflect the heritage and culture of Karnataka as well as the broader Indian ethos. Overall, the design and architecture of Terminal 2 have been influenced by four guiding principles: Terminal in a garden, sustainability, technology and art & culture. All these facets showcase T2 as a terminal that is modern yet rooted in nature and offers a memorable ‘destination’ experience to all travellers.

Your countries are close and valued partners of India. And I am pleased to exchange perspectives with you on the shared priority of achieving comprehensive sustainable development. I thank President Xi Jinping for bringing us together for this dialogue. Excellencies, Two years since the adoption of UN’s 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, the imperative of collaborative action to achieve the goals is even stronger. Recently in July, India completed its first voluntary national review of SDGs. The bedrock of our development agenda lies in the notion of “SabkaSaath,SabkaVikaas” – that is: Collective Effort, Inclusive Growth. We have mapped each of the SDGs to our own development programmes and scheme, both at the federal and state level. Our Parliament too has taken the initiative to organize Parliamentary debates on SDGs. Our programmes are geared to accomplish these priority goals in a time-bound manner. To cite just one example, our three-pronged approach of providing a bank account to the unbanked, providing a biometric identity to all, and using innovative mobile governance solutions, has enabled Direct Benefit Transfers to almost 360 million people for the first time. Excellencies, We would like to see such domestic efforts buttressed by strong international partnerships. And, for this, we stand ready to do our part. India has a long tradition of partnerships with fellow developing countries, while pursuing our own aspirations for growth. At every step, we have shared our experience and resources across a range of sectors: from strengthening democratic institutions to deploying high-tech solutions for public good. Earlier this year, we launched the South Asia Satellite to benefit willing regional partners in meeting their developmental goals in education, healthcare, communication, and disaster management. For over half a century, India’s flagship initiative – Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation, ITEC – has offered training and skill development to 161 partner countries from Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Caribbean and Pacific Island states. From Africa alone, over the last decade, over 25,000 students have trained in India on ITEC scholarships. At the Third India-Africa Forum Summit in 2015, with participation of all 54 African countries, we decided to double the number of ITEC scholarships to 50,000 over a period of only 5 years. The “Solar Mamas” of Africa, trained in India, are lighting up thousands of homes across the African continent. Our growing engagement with Africa has led to the African Development Bank holding its Annual Meeting outside Africa for the first time, in India earlier this year. Our development partnerships projects are providing water, electricity, roads, healthcare, tele-medicine, and basic infrastructure to people in dozens of countries across the world. And, in all of this, our “no strings attached” model of cooperation is driven purely by the requirements and priorities of our partner countries. Excellencies, The countries present here together represent almost half of the humanity. Whatever we do, will impact the world substantially. So, it is our solemn duty to make a better world – brick by brick, or, through BRICS. Yesterday, I had spoken about the BRICS driving the global transformation in the next ten years for it to be a Golden Decade. I suggest that this can be brought about with our proactive approach, policies, and action, on the following ten Noble Commitments: 1. Creating a Safer World: by organized and coordinated action on at least three issues: Counter Terrorism, Cyber Security and Disaster Management; 2. Creating a Greener World: by taking concerted action on countering Climate Change, through initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance; 3. Creating an Enabled World: by sharing and deploying suitable technologies to enhance efficiency, economy and effectiveness; 4. Creating an Inclusive World: by economic mainstreaming of our people including in the banking and financial system; 5. Creating a Digital World: by bridging the digital divide within and outside our economies; 6. Creating a Skilled World: by giving future-ready skills to millions of our youth; 7. Creating a Healthier World: by cooperating in research and development to eradicate diseases, and enabling affordable healthcare for all; 8. Creating an Equitable World: by providing equality of opportunity to all, particularly through gender equality; 9. Creating a Connected World: by enabling free flow of goods, persons and services; and, 10. Creating a Harmonious World: by promoting ideologies, practices, and heritage that are centered on peaceful coexistence and living in harmony with nature. Through these agenda points, and action on them, we will be contributing directly to the welfare of the Global Community in addition to welfare of our own people. And in this, India stands ready as a willing and committed partner to enhance cooperation and support each other’s national efforts; I look forward to our progress together on this path. I commend President Xi for ably steering the BRICS Chairmanship for the year 2017, and for his warm welcome and hospitality in this beautiful city of Xiamen. I also welcome President Zuma and commit India’s full support for Johannesburg Summit next year. I thank you.",২০৩০ৰ ভিতৰত বহনযোগ্য উন্নয়নৰ লক্ষ্য; উন্নয়নৰ বাবে ব্যাপক সহযোগিতামুলক পৰিৱেশ গঢ়ি তোলাৰ আহ্বান https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-visit-goa-on-19th-december-and-participate-in-goa-liberation-day-celebrations/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AF-%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%87/,"PM to felicitate freedom fighters and veterans of ‘Operation Vijay’ In a tribute to freedom fighters of Goa Liberation, PM to inaugurate the redeveloped Aguada Fort Jail Museum PM to inaugurate and lay foundation stone multiple development projects worth over 650 crore in Goa Inauguration of Super Speciality Block at Goa Medical College and New South Goa District Hospital in line with PM’s vision to provide state-of-the-art medical infrastructure across the country Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Goa on 19th December and attend the function marking Goa Liberation Day celebrations at Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium in Goa at around 3 PM.

The Summit is being held in South Asia for the first time. It brings together leading investors, entrepreneurs, academicians, think-tanks and other stakeholders to propel the global entrepreneurship ecosystem. This event not only connects the Silicon Valley with Hyderabad but also show-cases the close ties between the United States of America and India. It underlines our shared commitment towards encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation. The topics picked for this year’s summit include healthcare and life sciences; digital economy and financial technology; energy and infrastructure; and media and entertainment. These are all important issues, relevant to the well-being and prosperity of mankind. The theme “Women First, Prosperity for All” makes this edition of GES stand out. In Indian mythology, woman is an incarnation of Shakti – the Goddess of power. We believe women empowerment is vital to our development. Our history has references to women of remarkable talent and determination. Gargi, an ancient philosopher, around the seventh century BC, challenged a male sage to a philosophical discourse – something unheard of in those times. Our warrior queens like Rani Ahilyabai Holkar and Rani Lakshmibai fought bravely to defend their kingdoms. Our freedom struggle too is replete with such inspirational instances. Indian women continue to lead in different walks of life. Our space programmes, including the Mars Orbiter Mission, have had immense contribution from our women scientists. Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams, both of Indian origin, have been part of US space missions. Three out of four oldest High Courts in India are now headed by women judges. Our sportswomen have done the country proud. This very city of Hyderabad is home to Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, and Sania Mirza, who have brought laurels to India. In India, we have provided for not less than one third of women representation in rural and urban local bodies, ensuring women’s participation in grass-root level decision-making. More than sixty percent of workers in our agriculture and allied sectors are women. Our milk co-operatives in Gujarat and the Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Papad, are examples of highly successful and globally acclaimed women-led co-operative movements. Friends Here at the GES, more than 50 percent of the delegates are women. Over the next two days, you will meet many women who have dared to be different, in their own walks of life. They now inspire a new generation of women entrepreneurs. I hope the deliberations in the summit would focus on how women entrepreneurship can be further supported. Ladies and Gentlemen. India has been an incubator for innovations and entrepreneurship over the ages. The ancient Indian treatise, Charaka Samhita, introduced the world to Ayurveda. Yoga is another ancient Indian innovation. The entire world now comes together, to celebrate Yoga Day on 21st June every year. Many entrepreneurs are involved in promoting Yoga, spirituality, and traditional Ayurvedic products. The digital world we live in today is based on the binary system. The invention of zero, foundation of this binary system happened with Aryabhatta’s work in India. Similarly, many nuances of modern day economic policy, taxation system, and public finance policies are outlined in our ancient treatise Arthashastra by Kautilya. Ancient India’s expertise in metallurgy is also well known. Our many ports and harbours and the world’s oldest dockyard at Lothal bear evidence to vibrant trade linkages. The tales of Indian voyagers travelling to foreign lands reflect the entrepreneurial character and spirit of our forefathers. What are the core qualities that distinguish an entrepreneur? An entrepreneur uses knowledge and skills to fulfil a motive. Entrepreneurs see opportunity in adversity. They try to meet felt needs by making processes more convenient and comfortable for the end user. They are patient and determined. Swami Vivekananda had said Each work has to pass through three stages – ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance. Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood. Most entrepreneurs would be familiar with this. The power to think differently and ahead of the times for the betterment of mankind is what sets entrepreneurs apart. I see that power in India’s young generation today. I see 800 million potential entrepreneurs who can work towards making the world a better place. The number of smartphone users in India is projected to grow to over 500 million by 2018. This offers immense potential for the growth of any venture, in terms of outreach and job creation. Our Start-Up India programme is a comprehensive action plan to foster entrepreneurship and promote innovation. It aims to minimize the regulatory burden and provide support to startups. Over 1200 redundant laws have been scrapped, 87 rules for FDI have been eased in 21 sectors, and several government processes have been taken online. Our government has taken several steps to improve the business environment. The jump in India’s ranking in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report, from 142 to 100, in three years, is a result of this. We have improved on indicators like dealing with construction permits, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. The process is not yet complete. This is an area where we are not satisfied with 100th rank. We would strive towards 50th rank. We have launched the MUDRA scheme to provide easy finance of upto one million rupees to entrepreneurs. Since its launch in 2015, over 90 million loans worth 4.28 trillion rupees have been sanctioned. Of these, more than 70 million loans have been sanctioned to women entrepreneurs. My government has launched the “Atal Innovation Mission”. We are opening Tinkering Labs in more than 900 schools to promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship among children. Our “Mentor India” initiative engages leaders to guide and mentor students through these tinkering labs. In addition, 19 incubation centers have been created in various universities and research institutions. These will nurture innovative start-up businesses to become scalable and sustainable. We have created Aadhaar – the world’s largest biometric based digital database. This currently covers over 1.15 billion people and digitally authenticates over 40 million transactions daily. We now digitally provide monetary benefits of various government schemes to the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer using Aadhaar. Almost 300 million bank accounts with deposits of over 685 billion rupees, or over 10 billion dollars, have been opened through the Jan Dhan Yojana. These bring previously un-banked sections of society into the formal financial system. Of these, 53 per cent accounts are of women. We are steadily working towards a less cash economy and have launched a Unified Payment Interface App called BHIM. In less than a year, this platform is processing almost 280 thousand transactions daily. Having almost completed our programme to connect all villages with electricity, we have launched the Saubhagya scheme. This will provide electricity connections to all families by December 2018. We have launched a programme to provide high-speed broad-band internet to all rural areas by March 2019. Under our clean energy programme, in just 3 years, we have doubled the renewables capacity from 30 thousand Megawatts to about 60 thousand Megawatts. Solar energy generation has increased over 80 percent in the last year. We are working on developing a national gas grid. A comprehensive national energy policy is also in the pipeline. Our Swachh Bharat Mission to improve sanitation and cleanliness, and the rural and urban housing missions underline our commitment towards dignity of life. Our infrastructure and connectivity programmes like Sagarmala and Bharatmala offer entrepreneurs many business opportunities for investment. Our recent World Food India initiative helped us engage with entrepreneurs in the food processing industry and agricultural waste sectors. My government understands that an environment of transparent policies and a rule of law providing a level-playing field are necessary for entrepreneurship to flourish. A historic overhaul of the taxation system has been recently undertaken, bringing in the Goods and Services Tax across the country. Our Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code introduced in 2016 is a step towards ensuring timely resolution for stressed ventures. We have recently improved this further, preventing wilful defaulters from bidding for stressed assets. Tough measures have been adopted to tackle the parallel economy, check tax evasion and control black money. Our efforts have been recognized by Moody’s recent upgrade of India’s government bond ratings. This upgrade comes after a gap of almost 14 years. India has improved its rank from 54 in 2014 to 35 in 2016 on the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index. This signifies the relative ease and efficiency with which products can be moved into and from a country. An investment-friendly environment needs to be stable from the macro-economic perspective. We have succeeded in containing the fiscal and current account deficits, and curbing inflation. Our foreign exchange reserves have crossed 400 billion dollars, and we continue to attract large foreign capital flows. To my young entrepreneur friends from India, I would like to say: each of you has something valuable to contribute towards creating a New India by 2022. You are vehicles of change and instruments of India’s transformation. To my entrepreneur friends from across the globe, I would like to say: Come, Make in India, Invest in India – for India, and for the world. I invite each one of you to become a partner in India’s growth story. And once again assure you of our whole-hearted support. I am informed that President Trump has declared November 2017 as National Entrepreneurship Month. America has also observed National Entrepreneurs’ Day on November 21st. This summit will certainly resonate with those themes. Let me conclude by wishing you fruitful, engaging and rewarding deliberations at this summit. Thank you.","বৈশ্বিক উদ্যমিতা সন্মিলন, ২০১৭ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-modi-and-japanese-pm-abe-lay-foundation-stone-for-indias-first-high-speed-rail-project/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D/,"Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe today jointly laid the foundation stone for India’s first high speed rail project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

He said a new economic system is being developed along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor, and the entire area would become a single economic zone. The Prime Minister said technology is useful only if it provides benefit to the common man. He said the technology transfer envisaged in this project will benefit Indian Railways, and boost the “Make in India” initiative. He said the project would be eco-friendly as well as human-friendly. He said “high-speed corridors” would be regions for rapid growth in the future. The Prime Minister said that the Government is working to ensure that infrastructure is developed keeping in mind futuristic requirements. He expressed confidence that everyone would work together to complete this project in the shortest possible time.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister remarked that two days ago he was visiting the city of Mahakal, and today he has come to the refuge of Mani Maheshwar. The Prime Minister also recalled the letter received from a teacher from the area who shared details of Chamba with the Prime Minister. The letter was shared by the Prime Minister in Mann ki Baat. The Prime Minister expressed happiness that he got the opportunity to launch multiple projects on road connectivity and employment generation for Chamba and other remote villages. Remembering his days in Himachal Pradesh, the Prime Minister mentioned that today, the adage that ‘Pahad ka Paani aur Pahad ki Jawani Pahad ke Kaam nahi aati’ i.e. Youth and water of hills is not used for hills, is changing. “Now the youth of hills will play an active part in the development of the area”, he said. “The next 25 years are very crucial for 130 crore Indians”, said the Prime Minister. He added, “India’s Azadi ka Amrit Kaal has begun during which we have to accomplish the goal of making India a developed country. In the coming few months, 75 years of the establishment of Himachal are also going to be completed. That is, when India celebrates 100 years of independence, Himachal will also celebrate 100 years of its establishment. That is why every day of the coming 25 years is very important for us”, the Prime Minister elaborated. The Prime Minister recalled the days when Himachal Pradesh had little influence in Delhi and its demands and requests were ignored resulting in important places of faith and natural beauty like Chamba, lagging behind in the development race. Shri Modi informed that special attention was paid to it as Aspirational District as he was aware of the strengths of Chamba. He also expressed happiness about children from Kerala coming to Himachal in the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat. The Prime Minister noted that Himachal today realizes the strength of the double-engine government which has doubled the pace of development in the state. The Prime Minister remarked that the previous governments would provide services to only those areas where the burden of work and stress remained low and political benefits were high. As a result, the development rate of remote and tribal areas remained fairly low. “Be it roads, electricity or water, the people of such areas were the last ones to receive benefits”, Shri Modi said, “The working style of double-engine government is different from the rest. Our priority is how to make people’s lives easier. That’s why we are giving maximum emphasis on tribal areas, and hilly areas.” He listed measures like providing gas connections, piped water, health services, Ayushman Bharat, and road connectivity that are changing lives in remote and hilly areas. “If we are making wellness centres in the villages, at the same time, we are opening medical colleges too in the districts”, he emphasized. He also mentioned how Himachal was prioritized in vaccination in order to protect tourism. Shri Modi complimented the Chief Minister and his team for reaching cent per cent vaccination the fastest in the country. Talking about the construction of rural roads, the Prime Minister said that till 2014, rural roads of 7000 km in length were constructed since Independence with an expenditure of 1800 crores but in the last 8 years, 12000 km of roads with a financial outlay of just 5000 crores have been constructed. Schemes started today will create 3000 km of rural roads, he informed. The Prime Minister said that gone are the days when Himachal Pradesh used to come to Delhi with requests. Now Himachal comes with information about new projects and details of its progress and demands for its rights. “Your (people’s) order is supreme for me. You are my high command. I consider this my good fortune, that is why serving you has different joy and gives me energy”, the Prime Minister said. Underlining the development in the last 8 years, the Prime Minister said, “A Maha Yagya of rapid development is going on in the hilly areas, in the inaccessible areas, in the tribal areas all over the country.” Shri Modi informed that its benefits are not only limited to Chamba of Himachal but areas like Pangi-Bharmaur, Chhota-Bada Bhangal, Girimpar, Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti are also reaping the benefit. He congratulated Chamba for securing second place in the development ranking of Aspirational Districts. Underlining the focus on the development of tribal communities, the Prime Minister informed that the government has taken another landmark decision in giving the tribal status to the Hati community of Giripar area of Sirmaur. “It shows how much priority our government is giving to the development of the tribal people”, he added. The Prime Minister interjected that the previous governments of Himachal and at the Centre thought of the remote and tribal villages only at the time of elections, but the double-engine government of today strives to serve the people twenty four seven. Recalling the efforts of the government to provide relief to poor families during the corona pandemic, the Prime Minister highlighted the free ration programme. “The world looks at India in astonishment that the government has been providing food grains to more than 80 crore people in the country for the past one and half years”, he added. Shri Modi also highlighted the success of the Covid vaccination programme in India and credited its success to the active participation of the workers from the health department and ASHA workers. “Such works of development take place only when the service spirit is strong”, Shri Modi added. Throwing light on the challenges faced by hilly and tribal areas in terms of employment, the Prime Minister said that we are trying to convert the strength of the area into the strength of the people here. “The wealth of water and forest in tribal areas is priceless”, he said. The Prime Minister pointed out that Chamba belongs to the area of the country where the generation of hydroelectricity was started. The Prime Minister underlined that the projects for which the foundation stone has been laid today will increase the share of Chamba and Himachal in the field of power generation. “Chamba, Himachal will earn hundreds of crores from the electricity generated here and the youth of this place will get employment opportunities”, he said. “Last year also I had the opportunity to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of 4 such big hydro-electric projects. The Hydro Engineering College which was started in Bilaspur a few days back will also benefit the youth of Himachal”, he said. Highlighting Himachal’s strength in horticulture, animal husbandry and craft & arts, the Prime Minister praised the local self-help groups for promoting local products like flowers, Chamba’s Chukh, Rajma Madra, Chamba Chappal, Chamba Thal and Pangi ki Thangi. He called these products the heritage of the country. Citing the example of Vocal for Local, the Prime Minister appreciated the women associated with Self Help Groups due to their impetus to efforts of the government to promote local products. The Prime Minister informed that these products are also being promoted under the One District One Product Scheme and he tries to present these things to foreign dignitaries, so that the name of Himachal goes out in the whole world, and more people find out about the products made in Himachal. The Prime Minister said “The double engine government is a government that respects its culture, heritage and faith. Including Chamba, the whole of Himachal is a land of faith and heritage.” Throwing light on the cauldron of heritage and tourism of Himachal Pradesh, the Prime Minister recalled his visit to the Dussehra Festival in Kullu and remarked that we have heritage on one side and tourism on the other. Tourist places like Dalhousie, and Khajjiar is going to be a driving force for Himachal in terms of spirituality and tourism wealth. The Prime Minister said, “Only the double-engine government recognizes this power. Himachal has made up its mind and will change the old custom and will create a new tradition.” Acknowledging the vast gathering, the Prime Minister concluded by saying that in this vast gathering, he sees the power of Himachal’s growth and resolutions. He assured his continued support to the resolutions and dreams of the people of Himachal Pradesh. Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Shri Jai Ram Thakur, Governor of Himachal Pradesh, Shri Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting, Shri Anurag Singh Thakur, Members of Parliament, Shri Kishan Kapoor, Ms Indu Goswami and BJP State President, Shri Suresh Kashyap were those present on the occasion among others. Background The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of two hydropower projects – the 48 MW Chanju-III Hydro-electric Project and the 30 MW Deothal Chanju Hydro-electric Project. Both these projects will generate over 270 million units of electricity annually and Himachal Pradesh is expected to get annual revenue of around Rs. 110 crores from these projects. The Prime Minister also launched Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) – III in Himachal Pradesh for the upgradation of around 3125 kilometres of roads in the state. More than Rs. 420 crores has been sanctioned by the Central Government under this phase for the upgradation of 440 kilometres of roads in 15 border and far flung blocks of the state.",হিমাচল প্ৰদেশৰ চাম্বাত দুটা জলবিদ্যুৎ প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-post-budget-webinar-aatmanirbharta-in-defence-call-to-action/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4/,"Namaskar! The theme of today’s webinar ‘Atma-Nirbharta in Defence — Call to Action’ explains the intentions of the nation. You will also see the commitment of self-reliance that India has been emphasizing in its defence sector for the last few years in this year’s budget. Friends, Our defence manufacturing was very powerful even during the period of servitude and immediately after independence. Weapons made in India played a big role in the Second World War. Although this strength of ours kept on weakening in the later years, it shows that there was never a shortage of capacity in India then and there is no shortage even now. Friends, The basic principle of security is that you should have your own customized and unique system, only then it will help you. If 10 countries have the same type of defence equipment, then your armies will have no uniqueness. There can be uniqueness and surprise elements only if the equipment are developed in your own country. Friends, This year’s budget has a blueprint for developing a vibrant ecosystem from research, design and development to manufacturing (defence equipment) within the country. About 70 percent of the defence budget has been earmarked for the domestic industry only. So far, the Defence Ministry has released the Positive Indigenization List of more than 200 defence platforms and equipment. Since the announcement of this list, contracts worth Rs 54,000 crore have been signed for domestic procurement. Apart from this, the procurement process related to equipment worth more than Rs 4.5 lakh crore is also in various stages. Very soon, the third list will be out. This shows how we are supporting defence manufacturing in the country itself. Friends, When we import weapons, its process is so long that many of them become outdated by the time they reach our security forces. Its solution also lies in the AatmaNirbhar Bharat campaign and Make in India. I would also appreciate the armed forces of the country for making very important decisions, keeping in mind the importance of India’s self-reliance in the defence sector. The confidence and pride of our defence forces swell high when they have indigenous equipment. We should also understand the feelings of the soldiers posted on the border. I remember I once had the opportunity to chat with jawans at the Wagah border when I was not in any corridor of power and was working for my party in Punjab. During the discussion, the soldiers posted there told me one thing which touched my heart. They told me that the gate of India on the Wagah border was slightly smaller than the gate of our enemy. Our gate should also be bigger and our flag should be higher than (our enemy). This is the spirit of our jawans. Our soldiers remain on the border with this feeling. They feel proud about things made in India. Therefore, our defence equipment should be according to the feelings of our soldiers. We can do this only when we become self-reliant. Friends, There has been a change in the way the wars were fought in earlier times and now. Earlier, it used to take decades to modify the equipment of war, but today modification happens in no time. It hardly takes time for the weapons to become outdated now. The modern technology-based weapons become outdated even more quickly. The strength of India’s IT is our great potential. The more we use this power in our defence sector, the more assured we will be in our security. For example, cyber security! Now it too has become a weapon of war and is not limited to just digital activity. It has become a matter of national security. Friends, You are aware of the competition that exists in the defence sector. There used to be various allegations while procuring arms and equipment from foreign-based companies. I don’t want to go deep into it. But it is true that every purchase was mired in controversy. Due to the competition between different manufacturers, there is a continuous campaign to degrade the products of rivals. As a result, confusion and apprehensions arise and there is room for corruption. A lot of confusion is created regarding weapons whether they are good or bad, useful for us or not. It is done in a planned way. It is part of the battle in the corporate world. We get solutions to many such problems from the AatmaNirbhar Bharat campaign. Friends, Our ordnance factories are a great example of the results that follow when we move forward with complete sincerity. Our Defence Secretary has also mentioned it. Prior to last year, we created seven new Defence Public Undertakings. Today their business is expanding rapidly, reaching new markets and getting export orders as well. It is also very pleasant that we have increased defence exports by six times in the last five-six years. Today we are providing Made-in-India defence equipment and services to more than 75 countries. As a result of the government’s encouragement to the Make in India, more than 350 new industrial licenses have been issued for defence manufacturing in the last seven years, whereas in the 14 years from 2001 to 2014, only 200 licenses were issued. Friends, Twenty-five percent of the Defence R&D budget has been set aside for industry, start-ups and academia so that the private sector should also come on par with DRDO and defence PSUs. A Special Purpose Vehicle Model has also been proposed in the budget. This will establish the role of the private industry as a partner beyond just a vendor or supplier. We have also created new possibilities for the private sector in the space and drone sectors. The defence corridors of Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and their integration with the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan will give much-needed strength to the country’s defence sector. Friends, A transparent, time-bound, pragmatic and fair system of trial, testing and certification is vital to the growth of vibrant defence industry. Therefore, an independent system can prove useful in solving problems. This will also help in building the required skill-set in the country. Friends, The country has high hopes on you. I am sure that this discussion will open new avenues for self-reliance in the defence sector. Today I want to hear from all the stakeholders rather than give a long speech. This day is for you. You come up with practical solutions and let us know. The budget has been decided, it will be implemented from April 1, and therefore, we have this entire month to prepare. Let us move fast to implement the budget proposals from April 1. This is the purpose behind the exercise of preponing the budget by a month so that all the departments and stakeholders get full opportunity to prepare for the Public-Private Partnership model before the implementation of the budget and our time is not wasted. I urge you all that this is an act of patriotism and this is for the service to the nation. Think of profits later; concentrate first on how to make the country strong. I am happy that our three wings of the army are taking full initiative in this regard with great enthusiasm and providing encouragement. Our private sector should not lose this opportunity. I once again invite you. My best wishes to you!

Jai Hari Bol! On the occasion of the 211th birth anniversary of Shri Shri Harichand Thakur, my heartiest good wishes to all devotees, Sadhus, Gosais, leaders and Matua brothers. Namaskar! My Cabinet colleague and Sangh adhipati of All India Matua Mahasangha Shri Shantanu Thakur ji, Shri Manjul Krishna Thakur ji, Smt Chhabi Rani Thakur ji, Shri Subrata Thakur ji, Shri Rabindranath Biswas ji, other dignitaries and my dear brothers and sisters present here in huge numbers! I feel extremely fortunate to have got the opportunity to offer my obeisant to Shri Shri Guruchand Thakur ji and the great Matua tradition last year at Orakandi. Today, at a pilgrimage centre like Thakurbari, I have got the opportunity to interact with all of you and to see you via technology. When I had visited Orakandi, I had received a lot of love and blessings. And needless to say, Thakurbari has always given me a lot of love and affection. Friends, This is the occasion to offer my devotion to Matua Dharmiyo Mahamela and the Matua tradition. This is the occasion to express devotion towards those values that were established by Shri Harichand Thakur ji. These values were strengthened by Guruchand Thakur and Boro Maa. And today, this tradition is flourishing more with the cooperation of Shantanu ji. We have learnt the lessons of unity, Indianness and adopting modernity by being devoted to our faith from the great Matua tradition. Today, when we see bloodshed for selfish interests, when there are attempts to divide the society, when we see the tendency to discriminate on the basis of language and region, in such times the life of Sri Sri Harichand Thakur ji and his philosophy become even more important. Therefore, this fair is also going to strengthen the values of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. Brothers and sisters, We often say that our culture, our civilization is great. It is great because it has continuity; it is flowing; it has a natural tendency to empower itself. It is like a river, which goes on making its way and adapts itself according to any kind of obstacles that might come in the way. The credit of this greatness also goes to reformers like Harichand Thakur ji, who had never allowed the flow of social reform to stop. Anyone who understands the messages of Sri Sri Harichand Thakur, who recites ‘Hori-Leela-Amrito’, automatically says that he has seen centuries in advance. It is because the gender system that the world talks about today was considered as the mission by Harichand Thakur ji in the 18th century itself. He had raised his voice for the rights of daughters from education to work and had tried to bring forward the dignity of mothers-sisters-daughters in social thought. During that period, he had accomplished works like court for women and girls’ school. It depicts what his vision was; what his mission was! Brothers and sisters, Today, when India turns the campaign of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao into a success; when it honours the aspects like cleanliness, health and self-respect when it comes to mothers-sisters-daughters; when the girls in schools and colleges understand their potential; When we see our sisters and daughters contributing in nation building shoulder to shoulder with sons in every field of the society, it feels like we are truly honouring great personalities like Sri Sri Harichand Thakur ji. When the government takes the government schemes to the people on the basis of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, when everyone’s effort becomes the power for the development of the nation, then we move towards building an inclusive society. Friends, The participation of Matua society is very crucial in the development of India. Therefore, every effort is being made by the Central Government to make the life of every family within the society easy. The state government is being encouraged so that every public welfare scheme of the central government reaches Matua families at a faster pace. We are striving to provide pucca houses, tap water, free ration, pension after 60 years of age and insurance of lakhs of rupees to the people of India. We are trying to ensure that 100 per cent Matua families are covered under every such scheme. Friends, Sri Sri Harichand Thakur ji has given another message which is a source of inspiration for every Indian during the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Kaal’. Besides the divine love, he has also made us aware of our duties. He had laid special emphasis on how to fulfil one’s obligations towards the family, towards the society. We have to make this sense of duty as the basis for the development of the nation. Our constitution gives us various rights. We can preserve those rights only when we perform our duties honestly. Therefore, today I would also like to make a request to all the friends of Matua Samaj. To eradicate corruption from the system, we all have to create awareness more at the societal level. If anyone is being harassed anywhere, then definitely raise your voice there. This is our duty towards the society as well as towards the nation. It is our democratic right to participate in political activities. But if someone tries to stop others using violence or intimidation for political opposition, then it is a violation of the rights of others. Therefore, it is also our duty that if the mentality of violence, anarchy exists anywhere in the society, then it should be opposed. We also have to always remember our duties regarding cleanliness and health. We have to keep the dirt away from our house, our streets. We must inculcate these values. “Vocal for local” – we have to make this a part of our life. Be sure to buy the goods that are laced with the sweat of the workers of West Bengal, workers of India and the farmers. And the biggest duty is the policy of Nation First! Nothing is more important than the Nation. Our every work should be done keeping the Nation First. Before taking any step, we must certainly think whether it will benefit the nation or not. Friends, Matua society has always been aware of its duties. I am sure that during the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal’, your cooperation in building a new India will continue like this. Best wishes to all of you! Thank you very much !",পশ্চিমবংগৰ শ্ৰীধাম ঠাকুৰনগৰত মাতুৱা ধৰ্ম মহা মেলাৰ সময়ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-meets-who-dg-dr-tedros-ghebreyesus/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi met World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus at Jamnagar today.

An order book of more than Rs. 65,000 Cr. reflect the increasing confidence of the country in these companies, he added. He recalled the various initiatives and reforms undertaken in the recent past that have created Trust, Transparency and Technology driven approach in the defence sector like never before. Today private and public sector are working hand in hand in the mission of national security, he added. He cited Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu Defence Corridors as examples of the new approach. He noted as new opportunities are emerging for the youth and MSME the country is seeing the result of policy changes in the recent years. “Our defence export has increased by 325 per cent in last five years”, he added. He mentioned that it is our target that our companies not only establish expertise in their products but also become a global brand. He urged that while competitive cost is our strength, quality and reliability should be our identity. He further mentioned that in the 21st century, growth and brand value of any nation or any company is determined by its R&D and innovation. He appealed to the new companies that Research and innovation should be a part of their work culture, so that they just don’t catch up but take lead in future technologies. This restructuring would provide more autonomy to the new companies to nurture innovation and expertise and the new companies should encourage such talent, he added. He urged the start-ups to become a part of this new journey through these companies to leverage the research and expertise of each other. He mentioned that the Government has given these new companies not only a better production environment but also complete functional autonomy. He reiterated that the Government has also ensured that the interests of the employees are fully protected. To enhance functional autonomy, efficiency and unleash new growth potential and innovation, the Government has decided to convert Ordnance Factory Board from a Government Department into 7 100% Government owned corporate entities, as a measure to improve self-reliance in the defence preparedness of the country. Accordingly, 7 new Defence companies were incorporated, namely Munitions India Limited (MIL); Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited (AVANI); Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited (AWE India); Troop Comforts Limited (TCL) (Troop Comfort Items); Yantra India Limited (YIL); India Optel Limited (IOL); and Gliders India Limited (GIL).",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে বিজয়া দশমীৰ পৱিত্ৰ উপলক্ষত ৭টা নতুন প্ৰতিৰক্ষা কোম্পানীৰ উৎসৰ্গা কাৰ্য্যসূচীত ভিডিঅ’ ভাষণ প্ৰদান কৰিল https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-bilateral-mou-between-india-and-afghanistan-on-technical-cooperation-on-police-training-and-development/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%A3-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A8/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has given its approval for signing an MoU between India and Afghanistan on Technical Cooperation on Police Training and Development.

We thoroughly understand the challenges that you have been facing. We are partners in your concerns over the loss of lives of security forces and innocent people due to the extremist violence in Rakhine State. Be it a large peace process or be it to resolve a specific problem, we hope that all the stakeholders can work together in the direction to find such a solution that will ensure peace, justice and dignity for all by respecting the unity and territorial integrity of Myanmar. Friends, I believe that India’s democratic experience is also relevant for Myanmar. And therefore we are pride of our comprehensive cooperation in the capacity building of the institutions like the executive, the legislature, election commission and press council. Our interests in the area of security are common as neighbors. It’s essential that we work together to ensure the stability of our long territorial and coastal borders. The construction of roads and bridges, links in the field of energy and our efforts to boost connectivity indicate in the direction of a good future. We have completed the work on the Sittwe port and Paletwa Inland Waterways Terminal in Kaladan project. And the work on road component has started. In order to meet the requirement of Upper Myanmar, two way movement of high speed diesel trucks have started from India. Development of high quality health, education and research facilities in Myanamar under our development partnership is a cause of happiness. In this context, Myanmar Institute of Information Technology and Advanced Centre for Agricultural Research and Education are worthy of special mention. Both of these are emerging as the main centers of education. In the future, our projects will only be according to the needs and priorities of Myanmar. The agreements signed by us today between our two countries will further strengthen our multifaceted bilateral cooperation. Friends, I am happy to announce that we have decided to give gratis visa to all citizens of Myanmar who are interested in coming to India. I am also happy to state that we have decided to release 40 citizens of Myanmar who are currently lodged in the jails of India. We hope that they will soon be able to meet with their families in Myanmar. Excellency, My time in Nay Pyi Taw was very meaningful. I am also very excited about my remaining stay in Myanmar. Today I will go to the Anand Temple in the Bagan. The renovation work of Ananda Temple and other historic and cultural buildings is being carried out with the help of India to repair the damages caused to them due last year’s earthquake. Apart from meeting the community of Indian origin people in Yangon, I will also pay my tributes at the monuments of religious and historical importance.

Along with strengthening the economy, this budget will create many new opportunities for the common man. This budget is full of new possibilities for infrastructure, investment, growth and jobs. A new sector has opened up and that is Green Jobs. This budget addresses the immediate needs and also ensures the bright future of the youth of the country. For the last few hours I have observed the way this budget has been welcomed by everybody and the positive response that has come from common man, it has strengthened our enthusiasm manifold to serve the public. With novelty in every sphere of life, be it technology, farmers’ drones, Vande Bharat trains, digital currency, digital units in the field of banking, roll out of 5G services, digital ecosystem for national health, our youth, middle-class, poor-Dalit-backward and all the sections will be benefited. An important aspect of this budget is the welfare of the poor. Special attention has been paid so that every poor person should have a pucca house, tap water, toilet, gas connection, etc. Simultaneously, there is an equal emphasis on modern internet connectivity. A new announcement has also been made to ensure that life becomes more accessible and there is no migration from the mountainous regions of the entire Himalayan belt in India. For the first time in the country, the ‘Parvatmala scheme’ is being started for areas such as Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu-Kashmir and the North-East. This scheme will create a modern system of transportation and connectivity on the mountains. It will also strengthen the border villages of our country, which need to be vibrant, and which is also necessary for the security of the country. An important step has been taken for the welfare of the farmers along with the cleaning of Mother Ganga, the faith of the people of India. Natural farming will be encouraged along the banks of the Ganges in the states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. The campaign for cleaning of Mother Ganga will also go a long way in making the Mother Ganga free from chemical-waste. The provisions of the budget ensure that agriculture is profitable and there are new opportunities. Be it a special fund to encourage new agriculture start-ups, or a new package for the food processing industry, budget allocation will go a long way in increasing the income of farmers. More than Rs 2.25 lakh crore is being transferred directly to the accounts of farmers through the MSP purchase. Many decisions were taken to help protect MSMEs i.e., our small industries during the Corona period. Along with a record increase in credit guarantee, many other schemes have been announced in this budget. The decision to reserve 68 percent of the defence capital budget for the domestic industry will also benefit India’s MSME sector a lot. It is a huge step towards self-reliance. Public investment to the tune of Rs 7.50 lakh crore will give a new impetus to the economy and create new opportunities for small and other sectors of industries. I congratulate Finance Minister Nirmala ji and her entire team for this people-friendly and progressive budget. Bharatiya Janata Party has invited me tomorrow to speak on the ‘Budget and Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ at 11 am. I will speak in detail on this issue tomorrow. This is all for today.

This is eighth post-budget webinar addressed by the Prime Minister. Theme of the webinar was ‘Make in India for the World’. The Prime Minister said that the budget has many significant provisions for Aatmnirbhar Bharat and Make in India. He said that it is not acceptable that a country like India ends up merely as a market. He pointed towards supply chain disruptions during the pandemic and other uncertainties to underline the critical importance of Make in India. On the other hand, the Prime Minister continued, positive factors like demographic dividend of young and talented population, democratic set up, natural resources should also encourage us to move towards Make in India with determination. He also referred to his call for zero defect-zero effect manufacturing that he gave for the ramparts of Red Fort. Aatmnirbharta is all the more important if we see from the prism of national security, he said. The Prime Minister said, that the world is looking at India as a manufacturing powerhouse. Manufacturing, he said, is the 15 per cent of India’s GDP, but there are infinite possibilities before Make in India and we should work with full strength to create a robust manufacturing base in India, he said. The Prime Minister gave the examples of new demand and opportunities in sectors like semi-conductors and Electric Vehicles where manufacturers should move with a sense of removing dependencies on foreign sources. Similarly, areas like steel and medical equipment need to be focussed for indigenous manufacturing, he said. The Prime Minister stressed the difference between availability of a product as opposed to availability of made in India product in the market. He reiterated his dismay that many of the supplies for India’s various festivals are seeing foreign providers whereas they have been and can be easily provided by local manufacturers. He also emphasized that ambit of ‘Vocal for Local’ goes well beyond buying ‘diyas’ on Diwali. He asked the private sector to push the factors of vocal for local and Aatmnirbhar Bharat in their marketing and branding efforts. “Take pride in the products your company makes and instil this sense of pride in your Indian customers as well. For this some common branding can also be considered”, he added. The Prime Minister highlighted the need to find new destinations for the local products. He exhorted the private sector to enhance spending on R&D and to diversify and upgrade their product portfolio. Referring to declaration of 2023 as International Year of Millets, the Prime Minister said “The demand for millets is increasing in the world. By studying the world markets, we should prepare our mills in advance for maximum production and packaging.” The Prime Minister mentioned new possibilities due to opening up of areas like mining, coal and defence, the Prime Minister asked the participants to prepare a new strategy. “You will have to maintain global standards and you will also have to compete globally”, he said. This budget has given significant importance of MSME through credit facilitation and technology upgradation. The government has also announced a RAMP program of Rs 6,000 crore for MSMEs. The budget has also focused on developing new railway logistics products for farmers, for large industries and MSMEs. The integration of postal and railway networks will solve the problems of connectivity in small enterprises and remote areas. He said that regional manufacturing ecosystem can be strengthened by using the model of PM DevINE which has been announced for the North-East Region. Similarly, reforms in Special Economic Zone Act will provide a boost for the exports. Shri Modi also elaborated on the impact of the reforms. He said that in PLI for large scale electronics manufacturing, target of 1 lakh crore rupees worth of production was achieved in December 2021. Many other PLI schemes are in the important stages of implementation. The Prime Minister mentioned removal of 25 thousand compliances and auto renewal of licences, leading to significant reduction in the compliance burden. Similarly, digitization is bring speed and transparency in the regulatory framework. “From Common Spice Form to National Single Window System to set up a company, now you are feeling our development friendly approach at every step”, he added. The Prime Minister called upon the captains of manufacturing to pick up some areas and work to remove foreign dependence in that. He reiterated that such webinars are unprecedented governance steps to include stakeholder voices in the policy implementation and developing a collaborative approach for proper, timely and seamless implementation of the budget provisions for better outcomes.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে ‘মেক ইন ইণ্ডিয়া ফৰ দ্য ৱৰ্ল্ড’ বিষয়ত ডিপিআইআইটি ৱেবিনাৰত ভাষণ দিয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-greets-un-on-united-nations-day/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%98-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B8-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%87/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has conveyed his greetings to the UN on United Nations Day. “Greetings on UN Day.

The Prime Minister inaugurated Shatabdi Smriti Stambh which has been built to commemorate 100 years of Bihar Vidhan Sabha. He also laid the foundation stone of the Vidhan Sabha museum. Different galleries in the museum will demonstrate the history of democracy in Bihar and the evolution of the current civic structure. It will also have a Conference Hall with more than 250 people capacity. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of the Vidhan Sabha guest house on the occasion. Governor of Bihar, Shri Phagu Chauhan, and Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar were among those present on the occasion Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said It is the nature of Bihar that the one who loves Bihar, Bihar returns that love manifold. “Today I have also got the privilege of being the first Prime Minister of the country to visit the Bihar Vidhan Sabha Complex. I bow to the people of Bihar for this affection”, he said. The Prime Minister said that the Shatabdi Smriti Stambh will inspire myriad aspirations of Bihar. Recalling the glorious history of the Bihar Assembly, the Prime Minister said big and bold decisions have been taken in the Vidhan Sabha building here one after the other. Before independence, Governor Satyendra Prasanna Sinha had appealed from this assembly to encourage indigenous industries and the adoption of Swadeshi Charkha. After independence, the Zamindari Abolition Act was passed in this assembly. Taking this tradition forward, Nitish ji’s government passed an act like Bihar Panchayati Raj making Bihar the first state where women were given 50 per cent reservation in Panchayats, he recalled. “This Assembly is an example of how equal participation and equal rights are pursued in democracy to social life”, the Prime Minister remarked. The Prime Minister underlined the ancient roots of Indian democracy and said “for decades, attempts have been made to tell us that India got democracy due to foreign rule and foreign thinking. But, when any person says this, he tries to cover up the history of Bihar and the heritage of Bihar. When large parts of the world were taking their first steps towards civilization and culture, a sophisticated democracy was operating in Vaishali. When the understanding of democratic rights was beginning to develop in other regions of the world, republics like Lichchavi and Vajjisangh were at their peak. “The concept of democracy in India is as ancient as this nation is, as ancient as our culture. India considers democracy as a means of equality and equality. India believes in the idea of co-existence and harmony. We believe in truth, we believe in cooperation, we believe in harmony and we believe in the cohesive power of society”, the Prime Minister elaborated. The Prime Minister reiterated that mother of democracy in the world is India. India is the mother of Democracy. And the glorious heritage of Bihar and the historical documents present in Pali are living proof of this. No one can erase or hide this splendour of Bihar, he insisted. “This building has strengthened Indian democracy for the last hundred years, hence it deserves our homage. This building is associated with that consciousness which did not allow dissipation of democratic value even during the period of slavery”, he added. The Prime Minister recalled the assertion of independence in governance by Sri Babu against the Britishers. Bihar always remained steadfast in its commitment for protecting democracy and democratic values. Shri Modi mentioned that Bihar gave independent India’s first President in the form of Dr Rajendra Prasad. Leaders like Loknayak Jayaprakash, Karpoori Thakur and Babu Jagjivan Ram came from this land. Even when there was an attempt to crush the Constitution in the country, Bihar came to the fore and blew a trumpet of protest against it. “The more prosperous Bihar is, the more powerful India’s democracy will be. The stronger Bihar is, the more capable India will be”, the Prime Minister pointed out. The Prime Minister continued “the Amrit Mahotsav of Azadi and this historic occasion of 100 years of Bihar Legislative Assembly has also brought a message of introspection and self-analysis for all of us, for every public representative. The more we strengthen our democracy, the more strength we will get for our freedom and our rights.” In the context of changing needs of the 21st century and resolutions of New India in the 75th year of Independence, the Prime Minister said, “as MPs of the country, as MLAs of the state, it is also our responsibility that we together defeat every challenge being faced by democracy. Rising above the distinction of party-politics, our voice should be united for the country and its interest,”. Stressing that “the democratic maturity of our country is displayed by our conduct”, the Prime Minister emphasized that “Let the Houses of Assemblies become the centre of positive dialogue on the subjects related to the public.” On the performance of the Parliament, he said “In the last few years there has been a record increase in the attendance of MPs in the Parliament and in the productivity of the Parliament. In the last budget session also, the productivity of the Lok Sabha was 129 percent. In Rajya Sabha also 99 percent productivity was recorded. That is, the country is constantly working on new resolutions, taking forward the democratic discourse.” Marking the 21st century as the century of India the Prime Minister said “for India, this century is the century of duties. We have to reach the golden goal of New India in this century, in the next 25 years. Our duties will take us to these goals. Therefore, these 25 years are the years of walking on the path of duty for the country.” Shri Modi elaborated “we should not consider our duties as separate from our rights. The more we work for our duties, the stronger our rights will get. Our loyalty to duty is the guarantee of our rights.”",বিহাৰ বিধানসভাৰ শতবাৰ্ষিকী উদযাপনৰ সামৰণি অনুষ্ঠান সম্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-dedicates-four-lane-section-of-solapur-tuljapur-osmanabad-highway-new-nh-52-to-the-nation-solapur-osmanabad-via-tuljapur-rail-line-approved/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A3-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B/,"30,000 houses for poor to be built under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Solapur PM assures people of Assam and North East that their rights will be protected Government’s drive against corruption and middlemen will continue: PM 10% reservation bill for general category poor is a historic step and a reflection of Government’s commitment for the poor, says PM The Prime Minister has said that the constitutional amendment bill providing 10% reservation for general category poor is a historic step for the uplift of the poor and a reflection of the Government’s commitment to Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.

These projects will empower local farmers and milk producers and increase their income. This will also give a boost to the rural economy in the region. The Prime Minister felicitated beneficiaries of Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme and top women milk producers. Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel was among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that “today Sabar Dairy has expanded. New projects worth hundreds of crores are being set up here. Sabar Dairy’s capacity will increase further with the addition of a milk powder plant with modern technology and one more line in the aseptic packing section.” The Prime Minister also remembered Shri Bhurabhai Patel, one of the founder personalities of the Sabar Dairy. The Prime Minister also recalled his long association with the area and local people. The Prime Minister recalled the situation of deprivation and drought two decades ago. He recalled how he, as the Chief Minister, enlisted the people’s cooperation and tried to improve the situation in the region. He said cattle rearing and dairy was the key element of that efforts. He also talked about steps for promoting animal husbandry by providing fodder, medicine and also promoting Ayurvedic treatment for cattle. He mentioned Gujarat Jyotigram Scheme as a catalyst of development. The Prime Minister noted with pride that due to steps taken in the past two decades the dairy market in Gujarat has reached 1 lakh crore rupees. He recalled his earlier visits in 2007 and 2011 and his request to increase the participation of women. Now most of the committees have good representation of women. Payment for milk is mostly done to women, he said. He said these experiments are being used in other areas also. Today, the work of formation of 10,000 Farmer Producer Associations (FPOs) is going on in full swing in the country. Through these FPOs, small farmers will be able to directly connect with the food processing, value linked export and supply chain. The farmers of Gujarat are also going to benefit a lot from it, he said. He said that the strategy of creating alternative income streams for farmers is bearing fruit. Horticulture, fishery, honey production are giving good income to the farmers. Khadi and Gramodyog turnover has gone over one lakh crore for the first time. More than 1.5 crore new jobs were created in this sector in villages. Measures like increasing ethanol blending in petrol are creating new avenues for the farmers. “Until 2014, less than 400 million litres of ethanol was blended in the country. Today it is reaching around 400 crore litres. Our government has also given Kisan Credit Cards to more than 3 crore farmers by running a special campaign in the last 2 years”, he added. The Prime Minister said that steps like neem-coating of urea, opening closed fertiliser plants and promoting nano fertilisers and ensuring urea availability at affordable prices despite global price hike have benefited the farmers of the country and that of Gujarat. Sujlam Suflam Scheme has made water available to many tehsils of Sabarkantha district. Similarly, he said that connectivity has been increased at an unprecedented scale in the district and nearby areas. Railway and highway projects have improved the connectivity in the region. This connectivity is helping tourism and in ensuring jobs for the youth, he said. Reiterating the importance of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Prime Minister recalled the sacrifice of the local tribal leaders. The Prime Minister informed that the government has declared the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda Ji on 15th November as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas . “Our government is also building a special museum in the memory of tribal freedom fighters across the country.” He continued, “for the first time, the country’s daughter coming from tribal society has reached the highest constitutional post of India. The country has made Mrs. Draupadi Murru ji its President. This is a moment of great pride for over 130 crore Indians.” He requested the people of the country participate enthusiastically in the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign. Details of the Projects: The Prime Minister inaugurated the Powder Plant at Sabar Dairy with a capacity of around 120 metric tonnes per day (MTPD).

India has always been in favour of peace. Even in the present situation, we have constantly urged for the path of dialogue and diplomacy. The impact of this geopolitical tension is not just limited to Europe. The rising prices of energy and food grains are affecting all the countries. The energy and security of developing countries is particularly at risk. In this challenging time, India has supplied food grains to many countries in need. We have dispatched about 35,000 tonnes of wheat as humanitarian aid to Afghanistan in the last few months. And even after the heavy earthquake there, India was the first country to deliver relief materials. We are also helping our neighbour Sri Lanka to ensure food security. I have some suggestions on the subject of global food security. First, we must focus on the availability of fertilizers, and keep the value chains of fertilizers smooth at a global scale. We are trying to increase the production of fertilizers in India and seek cooperation from G7-countries in this regard. Second, India has immense agricultural manpower compared to the countries of the G7. Indian agricultural skills have helped give new life to traditional agricultural products like cheese and olive in some of the countries of the G7. Can the G7 create a structured system for the widespread use of Indian agricultural talent in its member countries? With the help of traditional talent of India’s farmers, food security will be ensured to G7 countries. Next year, the World is celebrating the International Year of Millets. On this occasion, we should run a campaign to promote a nutritious alternative like millets. Millets can make a valuable contribution to ensuring food security in the world. Finally, I would like to draw the attention of all of you to the ‘natural farming’ revolution taking place in India. Your experts can study this experiment. We have shared a non-paper on this subject with all of you. Excellencies, Where gender equality is concerned, today, India’s approach is moving from ‘women’s development’ to ‘women-led development’. More than 6 million Indian women frontline workers kept our citizens safe during the pandemic. Our women scientists made a big contribution in developing vaccines and test kits in India. More than one million female volunteers in India are active in providing rural health, whom we call ‘ASHA workers’. Just last month, the World Health Organization honoured these Indian ASHA workers with its ‘2022 Global Leaders Award’. If all the elected leaders in India from local government to national government are counted, more than half of them are women, and the total number will be in millions. This shows that Indian women are fully involved in real decision-making today. Next year, India is going to chair the G20. We will maintain close dialogue with G7-countries on other issues, including post-COVID recovery, under the G20 platform.

After the new Air Services Agreement comes into force, the existing Air Services Agreement of December, 2004 shall stand superseded. Benefits: The Air Services Agreement signifies an important landmark in the civil aviation relations between India and Morocco and has the potential to spur greater trade, investment, tourism and cultural exchanges between the two countries. It will provide enabling environment for enhanced and seamless connectivity while providing commercial opportunities to the carriers of both the sides ensuring greater safety and security. Details: Major features of the Agreement include: i) Multiple designation of Airlines by each party; ii) The designated Airline of each party can enter into cooperative marketing arrangements with the designated carriers of same party, other party and that of a third party; iii) This agreement allows designated airlines of either countries to establish offices in the territory of other country for the promotion and sale of air services; iv) The designated airlines of the both countries can operate any number of services to/from the six points specified in the Route Schedule to the ASA viz. Indian designated carriers can operate any number of services to/from Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakesh, Agadir, Tangier and Fez in Morocco and similarly the designated carriers of Morocco can operate any number of services to/from New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. v) Air Services Agreement also has the provisions relating to Revocation or Suspension of Operating Authorization, Principles governing operations of agreed services, commercial opportunities, safety and security related clause etc. that have been incorporated in line of Indian Model ASA. Background: Keeping in view of the growth in the civil aviation sector and also with a view to modernize and improve seamless air connectivity between the two sovereign nations, the existing Air Services Agreement between India and Morocco has been updated. The existing Air Services Agreement between India and Morocco was signed in year 2004 and does not have the updated clauses on Safety, Security, Designation of Airlines, Commercial Activities, Tariffs etc. Besides, the provisions of Cooperative Marketing Arrangements which enable both sides to establish the code share on each other flights and also on the flights of 3rd country carriers are also not available in the present Air Services Agreement.",ভাৰত আৰু মৰক্কোৰ মাজত বিমান সেৱা চুক্তি স্বাক্ষৰত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-passing-away-of-former-assembly-speaker-of-uttarakhand-shri-harbans-kapoor/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the passing away of former Assembly Speaker of Uttarakhand Shri Harbans Kapoor Ji.

Looks like a lot of information has been given! Hello everyone! Present in the program are the Chief Minister of UP Yogi Adityanath ji, Dr K Radhakrishnan ji, Prof Abhay Karandikar ji, Professors of IIT Kanpur, all the students, other dignitaries, and all those who are receiving degrees from this historical institute. Today is a day of double happiness for Kanpur. Today, on one hand, Kanpur is getting Metro facilities, while on the other hand, the world of technology is getting invaluable gifts like you from IIT Kanpur. I wish all my young friends all the best. Congratulations to the students who have been honored today. Your parents, family members, teachers, professors and countless others have also contributed behind your degree. I heartily congratulate all of them, especially your parents. Friends, In between getting admission to IIT Kanpur and your graduation today, you must be experiencing a huge change in yourself. You must have had the fear of the unknown, a query of the unknown before you came here. Earlier, the scope of your knowledge and queries was limited to your school, college, friends, family and loved ones. IIT Kanpur has brought you out of that and given you a huge canvas. There is no fear of the unknown anymore. Now you have to move ahead to explore the entire world with conviction. Instead of the query of the unknown, there is now a quest for the best, the dream to conquer the world. As much learning that took place in your classrooms, you have experienced as much outside your classrooms, among your peers. Your ideas expanded in classrooms whereas your personality expanded and evolved outside the classrooms. What you have earned in IIT Kanpur and the ideas that have been enriched is such a strong foundation and force that you will do something new, unique and add some value wherever you go. Your training, skills and knowledge will definitely help you to make a strong place in the practical world. The personality that you have developed here will give you a strength with which you will benefit the society as a whole, give new strength to your society and your country. Friends, You have lived the historical period of the magnificent legacy of IIT here. You have lived the present with the splendor of a diverse India. You are embarking on your journey to a brighter future on a magnificent legacy and vibrant present, the two pillars, the two tracks. May this journey be auspicious and may it be full of successes for the country! This is my wish for all of you. Friends, This year India has entered the 75th year of its independence. We are celebrating Amrit Mahotsav. Kanpur, from where you got your degree, has its own glorious history. Kanpur is one of the few cities in India that is so diverse. From Satti Chaura Ghat to Madari Pasi, from Nana Saheb to Batukeshwar Dutt, when we visit this city, it seems as if we are visiting that glorious past, the glory of the sacrifices of the freedom struggle. In the midst of these memories, you all have the responsibility to guide the country for the next 25 years, to give momentum to the country. Imagine when the Dandi Yatra was launched in 1930, it had agitated that time period, the entire country. The country was so charged up at that time that it had created an unprecedented faith in the people of India for independence and had filled the minds of every Indian with the faith of victory. The period of 1930 was the golden phase in the life of the youth who were 20-25 years old for their journey till 1947 and the achievement of independence in 1947. In a way, you are also stepping into the golden era. This is the golden era for you. Just as it is the virtuous period for the nation, it is also the virtuous period of your life. When you are graduating with the legacy of IIT during the Amrit Mahotsav, carry with you the dreams of what will be the India of 2047. In the next 25 years, you have to take the reins of India’s development journey. You will have to take the initiative now for what India will be like when you will complete 50 years of your life. And I know, Kanpur IIT, the atmosphere here, has given you that strength that now no one can stop you from fulfilling your dreams. This era, this 21st century, is completely technology-driven. In this decade also, technology is going to dominate in different fields. Life without technology would be incomplete in a way. This is the age of competition of life and technology and I am sure you will be ahead in this. You have spent important years of your youth in becoming an expert in technology. What could be a bigger opportunity for you? You have a huge opportunity to contribute in the field of technology in India as well as in the entire world. Friends, Our IITs have always been the incubation centers of talent and technology and IIT Kanpur has its own distinct reputation. The world’s first floating CNG filling station at Khidkiya Ghat in Banaras, which you have developed through your own company Aquafront Infrastructure, is the best. Similarly, you have developed the state of the art technology in the field of agriculture, created the world’s first portable soil testing kit. In 5G technology, the skills of IIT Kanpur match global standards. This institute deserves congratulations for many such successes. As such, your responsibilities have multiplied. Today, there is a huge scope in the field of Artificial Intelligence, energy and climate solutions and high-tech infrastructure in the country. Even sectors like health are becoming technology-driven today. We are entering the era of digital diagnosis, the era of robot-assisted treatment. Health devices have now become essentials at home. We can also face the challenges in disaster management only through technology. Imagine we are at the threshold of so many possibilities. These possibilities are for you, you have a big role in them. These are not only your responsibilities towards the country, but these are the dreams that have been lived by so many generations. You and your generation have got that privilege to make those dreams come true, to make a modern India. Friends, The 21st-century era you are in today is about setting big goals and putting all your energy into achieving them. The thinking and attitude of the country are same as yours. In the past, if the thinking was to work somehow, then today the thinking is to do something different, to get the best results. In the past, if there was an attempt to avoid problems, today resolutions are made to solve the problems. That too, permanent solutions! AatmaNirbhar Bharat is a great example of this. Friends, We have often seen that when someone turns 20-22, the elders of the family repeatedly tell him to stand on his feet. And I am sure that when you go home from here, the first thing you will hear from your parents is that their duty is over and now it is time for you to stand on your own two feet. Every parent is going to say this and if there is any delay, then you will have to hear it again and again. The elders and parents do this so that you become self-reliant, you recognize your potential and you turn your dreams into resolutions and commit wholeheartedly to achieve them. Even our India started its journey anew after independence. When 25 years passed since the independence of the country, we too should have done a lot to stand on our own feet. It is too late since then; the country has lost a lot of time. Two generations have passed in between, so we don’t have to lose even two moments. Friends, You must be finding impatience in my words and it is natural that you must also be feeling impatient. When I am among all of you on the land of Kanpur, I also want you to be impatient for a self-reliant India. Self-reliant India is the very essence of complete independence, where we will not depend on anyone. Swami Vivekananda had said — Every nation has a message to deliver, a mission to fulfill, a destiny to reach. If we are not self-reliant, how will our country achieve its goals and reach its destination? Friends, You can do this. I trust you. And when I am saying so many things today, doing so many things, I see your face in them. I see your face behind the changes that are taking place in the country today. The country will also get the power to achieve the goals that the country is setting today. You are the ones who will do it and you have to do it. These infinite possibilities are for you, and you have to realize them. When the country celebrates 100 years of its independence, that success will have the smell of your sweat and your hard work will be recognized. And you know very well how the country has worked over the years to lay the foundation of the AatmaNirbhar Bharat to make your job easier. In the last seven years, programs like Start-up India, Stand-up India have been launched in the country. The country is creating new avenues for the youth through the Atal Innovation Mission and the PM Research Fellowship. With the National Education policy, a new generation of futuristic temperament is being prepared. The ease of doing business has been improved, policy blockades have been removed and the results of these efforts are before us in such a short time. In this 75th year of independence, we have more than 75 unicorns, more than 50,000 start-ups. Of these, 10,000 start-ups have emerged only in the last six months. Today, India has emerged as the second largest start-up hub in the world. So many start-ups have been started by the youth of our IITs. According to a recent report, India has become the third largest unicorn country in the world, leaving behind many developed countries. Friends, Nowadays, there is talk of globalization and also its pros and cons. But there is no dispute over one thing. Who wouldn’t want Indian companies to be global, India’s products to be global? One who knows IITs and knows the talent here, knows the hard work of the professors here, he believes that the youngsters of IITs will do it. And today, I also want to assure professionals like you that the government is with you in every way. Friends, You have to remember another important thing. Many people will also suggest shortcuts for convenience in the journey which is going to start from today. But my advice would be that if you have to choose between comfort and challenge, then choose the challenge and not comfort, because, whether you like it or not, life is full of challenges. Those who run away from them become their victims. But if you are looking for challenges, you are the hunter and the challenge is the hunted. Therefore, you have to be a human being who seeks out problems; and finds solutions according to your own choice. Friends, all of you are the finest tech minds of IIT. You all eat, drink and breathe technology. You are constantly engaged in innovations. Yet, in the midst of all this, I have a request. Technology has its own strengths, there is no harm in that and this is also your passion. But while living in the world of technology, you should never forget the human element of life. You should never create your own robot versions. You should keep alive your feelings, your imaginations, your creativity and your curiosity. You should also give importance to those things in your life, which we do not necessarily get only with the help of technology. You should definitely work on the Internet of Things but do not forget the emotion of things. You should definitely think about Artificial Intelligence but should also remember human intelligence. You should continue coding but should also maintain your connection with people. Your association with different people, people of different cultures, will only improve your personality. It shouldn’t be that your brain does H.T.T.P 404 – page not found when it comes to exhibiting emotions. When it comes to sharing, sharing of joy and kindness, never keep a password; rather enjoy life with an open heart. By the way, when I mentioned sharing of joy, I know these words must be reminding you of so many things. You are going to miss gossip at Sagar Dhaba and Kerala Café, the taste of the Campus Restaurant, Coffee of CCD, Kathi Rolls at O.A.T, tea and jalebi at M.T., Tech-Kriti and Antaragni. This is the name of life. Places change, people meet and leave, but life goes on. This is called ‘Charaiveti, Charaiveti, Charaiveti’ (keep going). I see many students listening to me from other lecture halls due to the Corona protocol. If I have your permission and there is no problem with protocol then I will go there to meet you in person. May you succeed in your career, may your success be the success of the country! With this wish, I put an end to my speech. Best wishes to all of you once again.

Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Heartiest greetings to all the people of Karnataka! Present on the dais Pujya Swami ji, Karnataka Governor Shri Thawar Chand Gehlot ji, popular Chief Minister Shri Basavaraj Bommai ji, former Chief Minister Shri Yediyurappa ji, my colleagues in the Union Cabinet, Ministers in the State Government, MPs, legislators, all other dignitaries and my dear brothers and sisters who have come in large numbers. I am privileged that I have got the opportunity to come to Bengaluru on a very special day. Today is the birth anniversary of two great sons of Karnataka. Sant Kanaka Dasa ji guided our society, whereas Onake Obavva ji contributed for the protection of our pride and culture. I bow once again to these two personalities. Friends, While honoring these great personalities, we are empowering both the development and heritage of Bengaluru and Karnataka. Today Karnataka got the first Made in India Vande Bharat train. This train connects Chennai, the country’s start-up capital Bengaluru and the heritage city of Mysuru. The Bharat Gaurav Kashi Darshan train taking the people of Karnataka to Ayodhya, Prayagraj and Kashi has also started today. Today the second terminal of Kempegowda International Airport has also been inaugurated. I had posted some pictures of the airport’s new terminal on social media. But during my visit, I found that the new terminal, which looked very beautiful in the pictures, is even more grand and modern. This was a very old demand of the people of Bengaluru which has now been fulfilled by our government. Friends, I also got the opportunity to unveil the 108 feet statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda ji and perform his ‘jalabhishek’. This gigantic statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda will inspire us to work relentlessly and dedicatedly for the future of Bengaluru and India. Brothers and sisters, I express my heartfelt gratitude to Pujya Swami ji for his blessings and the way he expressed his feelings. Friends, Today India is recognized for start-ups all over the world. And Bengaluru has a huge role in strengthening this identity of India. Start-ups are not mere companies. Start-up is a passion to try something new, the passion to think something out of the ordinary. A start-up is a belief, a solution to every challenge being faced by the country. Hence, Bengaluru represents a start-up spirit. This start-up spirit puts India in a different league in the world today. Brothers and sisters, Today’s program is also a reflection of this youthful spirit of Bengaluru. Vande Bharat Express started today is also not just a new train, but it is a new identity of New India. This is a glimpse of how India’s railways will be in the 21st century. Vande Bharat Express is a symbol of the fact that India has now left the days of stagnation behind. India now wants to run fast and is doing everything possible for it. Friends, We are aiming to transform Indian Railways in the next 8-10 years. More than 400 new Vande Bharat trains and Vista Dome coaches will become the new identity of Indian Railways. Dedicated freight corridors will speed up transportation and save time. The rapid broad gauge conversion is bringing new regions on the railway map. And in the midst of all this, today the country is also modernizing its railway stations. Today, when you go to Sir M Visvesvaraya ji railway station in Bengaluru, then you experience a different world. Our aim is to modernize the major railway stations of the country like this. Keeping this in mind, Bengaluru Cantonment and Yesvantpur railway stations are also being transformed in Karnataka. Friends, Connectivity between our cities will also play a big role in building a developed India. The need of the hour is that there should be maximum expansion of airports and air connectivity in the country. The new terminal of Bengaluru Airport will provide new facilities to the passengers. Today India is one of the fastest growing markets for air travel in the world. As the country is progressing, the number of passengers at airports is also increasing. Therefore, our government is also building new airports in the country. There were around 70 airports in the country before 2014. Now this number has increased to more than 140 i.e., double. These new airports are increasing the business potential of our cities and also creating new opportunities for the youth. Friends, Today, Karnataka is also benefiting from the unprecedented trust that has been created for investment in India from across the world. About 4 lakh crore rupees were invested in Karnataka in the last three years when the entire world was battling Covid. Karnataka has led the country in attracting FDI in the last year. And the investment is not limited to the IT sector alone. Rather, every sector from biotechnology to defence manufacturing is expanding here. Karnataka has 25 percent share in the aircraft and spacecraft industry in the country. About 70 percent of the aircraft and helicopters for the country’s army are made here. Karnataka is also ahead in electric vehicle manufacturing in the country. Today more than 400 companies out of Fortune 500 companies are operating in Karnataka. And this list is continuously growing. All this is happening because today Karnataka is running on the double engine power. Brothers and sisters, Today, India is working on a different level whether it is about governance or building physical and digital infrastructure. Today the whole world is surprised about India’s digital payment BHIM UPI. Was it even possible to imagine this eight years ago? Could one think of Made in India 5G technology? The youth and professionals of Bengaluru have an important role in all these initiatives. These things were beyond imagination in pre-2014 India, the reason being the old-fashioned approach of the previous governments. The previous governments considered speed a luxury and scale as a risk. We have changed this perception. We consider speed as India’s aspiration and scale as India’s strength. Therefore, today India is developing infrastructure in the country under the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. We all have witnessed how in the past coordination was the biggest problem in building infrastructure. More the departments and agencies, the more the delay in construction! Therefore, we decided to bring everyone on one platform. Today, data in more than 1500 layers is being made directly available to various agencies under the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. Today, dozens of ministries and departments of the central and state governments have joined this platform. Today, the country is targeting an investment of about Rs 110 lakh crore on infra under the National Infrastructure Pipeline. The country is putting its energy on multimodal infrastructure so that every means of transport is connected and supports each other in the country. Some time back, the country also launched the National Logistics Policy. This policy will help in reducing the cost of transportation and making transportation innovative in the country. Friends, It is equally necessary to strengthen the social infrastructure of the country along with the physical infrastructure to make India developed. I am happy that the double engine government of Karnataka is paying equal attention to social infra. About 3.5 crore houses have been built for the poor in the country in the last eight years. More than eight lakh pucca houses have been approved for the poor in Karnataka also. Piped water facilities have been provided to more than seven crore households in the country in just three years under the ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’. Piped water has reached more than 30 lakh rural households in Karnataka for the first time. Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, four crore poor people of the country have got free treatment in the hospitals. More than 30 lakh poor patients of Karnataka have also taken benefit of this scheme. I am happy that our mothers, sisters and daughters are the biggest beneficiaries of these facilities. Brothers and sisters, Today, crores of small farmers, small traders, fishermen and street vendors are joining the mainstream of development of the country for the first time. About 2.25 lakh crore rupees have been transferred to the bank accounts of more than 10 crore farmers of the country under the ‘PM Kisan Samman Nidhi’. More than 55 lakh small farmers of Karnataka have also received about Rs 11,000 crore. More than 40 lakh street vendors of the country have received financial help under the PM SVANidhi scheme. This has also benefited more than two lakh street vendors of Karnataka. Friends, I talked about taking pride in the heritage of our country during my address from the ramparts of the Red Fort on 15th August this year. Our heritage is cultural as well as spiritual. Today Bharat Gaurav Rail is connecting the places of faith and spirituality of the country as well as strengthening the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat’. So far, this train has undertaken nine such journeys to different parts of the country this year. The passengers had a very pleasant experience whether it is Shirdi Temple Yatra, Shri Ramayana Yatra or Divya Kashi Yatra. Today the ‘Yatra’ from Karnataka to Kashi, Ayodhya and Prayagraj has also started. This will help the people of Karnataka to visit Kashi Ayodhya. Brothers and sisters, We also get inspiration from Sant Kanaka Dasa ji about how society can be connected with Bhagwat-bhakti and social-power. On one hand, he chose the path of ‘Krishna-bhakti’, and on the other, he gave the message of ending caste discrimination by stressing ‘Kula Kula Kulavendu Hodedadadiri’. Today, there is a discussion all over the world about the importance of millets i.e. coarse grains. Sant Kanaka Dasa ji had underlined the importance of millets during that period itself. His composition was – ‘Ram Dhanya Charite’. He gave the message of social equality, citing the example of the most preferred millet in Karnataka. Brothers and sisters, Today we are endeavoring to develop Bengaluru city as envisioned by Nadaprabhu Kempegowda ji. The city owes a lot to Kempegowda ji. The details that he took care while establishing this city is amazing, unparalleled. He had prepared a plan for commerce, culture and convenience for the people of Bengaluru centuries ago. The people of Bengaluru are still getting the benefit of his vision. Today the form of trade and business may have changed, but ‘Pete’ still remains the commercial lifeline of Bengaluru. Nadaprabhu Kempegowda ji has an important contribution in enriching the culture of Bengaluru as well. Be it the famous Gavi-Gangadhareshwara temple or the temples of Basavanagudi, Kempegowda ji made the cultural consciousness of Bengaluru alive forever. The people of Bengaluru city will always be grateful to Kempegowda ji for such an unmatched settlement of this city. Friends, Bengaluru is an international city. We have to enrich it with modern infrastructure, while preserving our heritage. All this is possible only with ‘Sabka Prayas’ (collective efforts). Once again, I congratulate all of you very much for the new projects. I express my gratitude to the revered saints who came and gave their blessings. I also express my gratitude to the enthusiastic youth, mothers, sisters and farmers of Karnataka who have come in such a large number to bless us.

The article has been published in the leading dailies from the ASEAN member nations. Following is the complete text of the article. ASEAN-India: Shared values, common destiny” By : Shri Narendra Modi Today, 1.25 billion Indians will have the honour to host 10 esteemed guests — leaders of Asean nations — at India’s Republic Day celebrations in our capital, New Delhi. On Thursday, I had the privilege to host the ASEAN leaders for the Commemorative Summit to mark 25 years of ASEAN-India Partnership. Their presence with us is an unprecedented gesture of goodwill from ASEAN nations. Responding to this, on a winter morning, India has come out to greet them in a warm embrace of friendship. This is no ordinary event. It is a historic milestone in a remarkable journey that has brought India and ASEAN in a deepening partnership of great promise for their 1.9 billion people, about one-fourth of human kind. The India-ASEAN partnership may be just 25 years old. But, India’s ties with Southeast Asia stretch back more than two millennia. Forged in peace and friendship, religion and culture, art and commerce, language and literature, these enduring links are now present in every facet of the magnificent diversity of India and Southeast Asia, providing a unique envelope of comfort and familiarity between our people. More than two decades ago, India opened itself to the world with tectonic changes. And, with instincts honed over centuries, it turned naturally to the East. Thus began a new journey of India’s reintegration with the East. For India, most of our major partners and markets — from ASEAN and East Asia to North America — lie to the East. And, Southeast Asia and ASEAN, our neighbours by land and sea, have been the springboard of our Look East and, for the last three years, the Act East Policy. Along the way, from dialogue partners, ASEAN and India have become strategic partners. We advance our broad-based partnership through 30 mechanisms. With each Asean member, we have growing diplomatic, economic and security partnership. We work together to keep our seas safe and secure. Our trade and investment flows have multiplied several times. ASEAN is India’s fourth largest trading partner; India is ASEAN’s seventh. Over 20% of India’s outbound investments go to ASEAN. Led by Singapore, ASEAN is India’s leading source of investments. India’s free trade agreements in the region are its oldest and among the most ambitious anywhere. Air links have expanded rapidly and we are extending highways deep into continental Southeast Asia with new urgency and priority. Growing connectivity has reinforced proximity. It has also put India among the fastest growing sources of tourism in Southeast Asia. Over a 6 million strong Indian diaspora in the region — rooted in diversity and steeped in dynamism — constitutes an extraordinary human bond between us. The Prime Minister has shared his views for each of the ASEAN member nations as follows Thailand Thailand has emerged as an important trading partner of India in Asean and is also one of the important investors in India from Asean. Bilateral trade between India and Thailand has more than doubled over the last decade. Relations between India and Thailand are extensively spread across many areas. We are important regional partners linking South and Southeast Asia. We cooperate closely in the Asean, East Asia Summit and Bimstec (the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation), as also in the frameworks of Mekong Ganga Cooperation, Asia Cooperation Dialogue and Indian Ocean Rim Association. Thailand’s prime minister’s state visit to India in 2016 has made a long-lasting impact on bilateral relations. The whole of India mourned with their Thai brothers and sisters the demise of the great and popular King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The people of India also join the friendly people of Thailand in praying for the long, prosperous and peaceful reign of the new king, His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun. Vietnam The traditionally close and cordial relations have their historical roots in the common struggle for liberation from foreign rule and the national struggle for independence. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and President Hồ Chí Minh led our peoples in the heroic struggle against colonialism. During the visit of Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng to India in 2007, we signed the Strategic Partnership agreement. This strategic partnership has grown into a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with my visit to Việt Nam in 2016. India’s relations with Việt Nam are marked by growing economic and commercial engagement. Bilateral trade between India and Việt Nam has increased about 10 fold in 10 years. Defence Co-operation has emerged as a significant pillar of strategic partnership between India and Việt Nam. Science and Technology is another important area of cooperation between India and Việt Nam. Myanmar India and Myanmar share a land-border of over 1600 kms as well as a maritime boundary. Religious and cultural traditions flowing from our deep sense of kinship and our common Buddhist heritage bind us as closely as does our shared historical past. Nothing illuminates it more gloriously than the gleaming tower of Shwedagon Pagoda. The cooperation to restore Ananda Temple in Bagan with assistance of the Archaeological Survey of India also is emblematic of this shared heritage. During the colonial period, political bonds were forged between our leaders, who displayed a great sense of hope and unity during our common struggle for independence. Gandhiji visited Yangon several times. Bal Gangadhar Tilak was deported to Yangon for many years. The clarion call of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose for India’s independence stirred the souls of many in Myanmar. Our trade has more than doubled over the last decade. Our investment ties are also robust. Development cooperation has a significant role in India’s relations with Myanmar. This assistance portfolio is presently worth over $1.73 billion. India’s transparent development cooperation is in line with Myanmar’s national priorities and also builds synergy with the Master Plan of ASEAN Connectivity. Singapore Singapore is a window to the heritage of India’s ties to the region, the progress of the present and the potential of the future. Singapore was a bridge between India and Asean. Today, it is our gateway to the East, our leading economic partner and a major global strategic partner, which resonates in our membership in several regional and global forums. Singapore and India share a strategic partnership. Our political relations are infused with goodwill, warmth and trust. Our defence ties are among the strongest for both. Our economic partnership covers every area of priority for our two nations. Singapore is India’s leading destination and source of investments. Thousands of Indian companies are registered in Singapore. Sixteen Indian cities have over 240 direct flights every week to Singapore. Indians make up the third-largest group of tourists in Singapore. Singapore’s inspirational multiculturalism and respect for talent have nurtured a vibrant and dynamic Indian community that is contributing to deeper cooperation between our nations. Philippines I had a very satisfying visit to the Philippines a little over two months ago. In addition to attending the ASEAN-India, EAS and related Summits, I had the pleasure of meeting President Duterte and we had extensive discussions on how to carry forward our warm and problem-free relationship. We are both strong in services and our growth rates are amongst the highest among major countries. Our business and trade potential holds great promise. I laud President Duterte’s commitment to bringing about inclusive development and to fighting corruption. These are areas where both countries can work together. We are happy to share our experience with the Philippines in universal ID cards, financial inclusion, making banking accessible to all, facilitating direct transfer of benefits, and in promoting cashless transactions. Making affordable medicines available to all is another priority area for the government of the Philippines that we are ready to contribute to. From Mumbai to Marawi, terrorism knows no boundaries. We are enhancing our cooperation with the Philippines in facing this common challenge. Malaysia The contemporary relations between India and Malaysia are quite extensive and spread across many areas. Malaysia and India share s Strategic Partnership and we cooperate in a number of multilateral and regional fora. Malaysian Prime Minister’s State visit to India in 2017 has made a long-lasting impact on the bilateral relations. Malaysia has emerged as the third largest trading partner of India in ASEAN and is one of the important investors in India from ASEAN. Bilateral trade between India and Malaysia has increased more than two-fold in 10 years. India and Malaysia have a bilateral Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement since 2011. This Agreement is unique in the sense that both sides have offered ASEAN Plus commitments in trade in goods and have exchanged WTO Plus offers in trade in services. The Revised Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between the two countries, signed in May 2012, and the MoU on Customs Cooperation, signed in 2013 further facilitate our trade and investment cooperation. Brunei Bilateral trade between India and Brunei has more than doubled over the last decade. India and Brunei share common membership of UN, NAM, Commonwealth, ARF, etc., and as developing countries with strong traditional and cultural ties, Brunei and India enjoy a fair degree of commonality in their perceptions on major international issues. the visit of the Sultan of Brunei to India in May 2008 was a landmark in India-Brunei relations. Vice-President of India visited Brunei in February 2016. Lao PDR Relations between India and Lao PDR are extensively spread across many areas. India has been actively involved in power transmission and agricultural sectors in Lao PDR. Today, India and Lao PDR cooperate in a number of multilateral and regional fora. While the trade between India and Lao PDR is still below potential, India has extended Duty Free Tariff Preference Schemes to Lao PDR, encourage exports of goods from Lao PDR to India. We also have immense opportunities in services trade that goes in building the economy of Lao PDR. Implementation of the ASEAN-India Services and Investment Agreement would help facilitate our services trade. Indonesia Separated by a mere 90 nautical miles in the Indian Ocean, India and Indonesia share a continuity of civilizational relationship that spans over two millennia. Whether it is the annual Balijatra celebrated in Odisha or the legends of Ramayana and Mahabharata, which are visible across the entire landscape of Indonesia, these unique cultural threads umbilically bind the peoples of Asia’s two largest democracies in a special neighbourly embrace. ‘Unity in Diversity’ or Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is also a key facet of the shared societal value structures that both countries celebrate, as also the common values of democracy and rule of law. Today, as Strategic Partners, our cooperation spans across the entire gamut of political, economic, defence & security, cultural and people to people fields. Indonesia continues to be our largest trading partner in ASEAN. Bilateral trade between India and Indonesia increased 2.5 times in the last ten years. President Joko Widodo’s State visit to India in 2016 has made a long-lasting impact on the bilateral relations. Cambodia The traditional and friendly relations between India and Cambodia are deeply rooted in civilizational ties. The magnificent structure of Angkor Wat temple is a glorious testimony and grand symbol of our ancient historical, religious and cultural links. India was proud to undertake restoration and preservation of Angkor Wat temple during the difficult period from 1986-1993. India continues this valuable association in the ongoing restoration of Ta-Prohm temple. After the collapse of Khmer Rouge regime, India was the first country to recognize the new government in 1981. India was also associated with the Paris Peace Accord and its finalization in 1991. These traditional bonds of friendship have strengthened through regular exchange of high level visits. We have expanded our cooperation in diverse fields such as institutional capacity building, human resource development, developmental and social projects, cultural exchanges, defence cooperation, tourism and people-to- people contact. In the ASEAN context, and on various global platforms, Cambodia is an important interlocutor and a supportive partner for India. India is committed to remain a partner in Cambodia’s economic development and looks forward to further deepen its traditional ties. And, India and ASEAN are doing much more. Our partnership in ASEAN-led institutions like East Asia Summit, ADMM+ (the ASEAN Defence Ministerial Meeting Plus) and ARF (the ASEAN Regional Forum) are advancing peace and stability in our region. India is also an eager participant in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, seeking a comprehensive, balanced and fair agreement for all 16 participants. The strength and resilience of partnerships come not just from arithmetic of numbers, but also from the underpinnings of the relationship. India and ASEAN nations have relations free from contests and claims. We have a common vision for the future, built on commitment to inclusion and integration, belief in sovereign equality of all nations irrespective of size, and support for free and open pathways of commerce and engagement. The ASEAN-India partnership will continue to grow. With the gift of demography, dynamism and demand — and with rapidly maturing economies — India and ASEAN will build a strong economic partnership. Connectivity will increase and trade will expand. In an era of cooperative and competitive federalism in India, our states are also building productive cooperation with Southeast Asian nations. India’s Northeast is on a resurgent path. Links with Southeast Asia will accelerate its progress. In turn, a connected Northeast will be a bridge to ASEAN-India ties of our dreams. As Prime Minister, I have attended four annual ASEAN-India Summits and East Asia Summit. These have reinforced my conviction in ASEAN unity, centrality and leadership in shaping the region in this vision. This is a year of milestones. India turned 70 last year. ASEAN reached the golden milestone of 50 years. We can each look to our future with optimism and to our partnership with confidence. At 70, India exudes the spirit, enterprise and energy of its young population. As the fastest growing major economy in the world, India has become the new frontier of global opportunities and an anchor of stability of the global economy. With every passing day, it is easier and smoother to do business in India. I hope that ASEAN nations, as our neighbours and friends, will be an integral part of New India’s transformation. We admire ASEAN’s own progress. Born when Southeast Asia was a theatre of a brutal war and a region of uncertain nations, ASEAN has united 10 countries behind a common purpose and a shared future. We have the potential to pursue higher ambitions and address the challenges of our times: from infrastructure and urbanisation to resilient agriculture and a healthy planet. We can also use the power of digital technology, innovation and connectivity to transform lives at unprecedented speed and scale. A future of hope needs a solid bedrock of peace. This is an age of change, disruptions and shifts that comes only rarely in history. ASEAN and India have immense opportunities — indeed, enormous responsibility — to chart a steady course through the uncertainty and turbulence of our times to a stable and peaceful future for our region and the world. Indians have always looked East to see the nurturing sunrise and the light of opportunities. Now, as before, the East, or the Indo-Pacific Region, will be indispensable to India’s future and our common destiny. The ASEAN-India partnership will play a defining role in both. And, in Delhi, ASEAN and India renewed their pledge for the journey ahead.

India has a clear vision that sustainable growth is possible only through sustainable energy sources. In Glasgow, we promised to reach net-zero (emissions) by 2070. In COP26 also, I talked about the LIFE Mission to promote a sustainable lifestyle by putting forward the vision of Lifestyle for Environment. We are also leading global collaborations such as the International Solar Alliance. Our target for non-fossil energy capacity is 500 GW. By 2030, we have to achieve 50 percent of our installed energy capacity from non-fossil energy. I do not see India’s goals as a challenge but as an opportunity. India has been continuing with this vision for the past several years and has taken forward this at the policy level in this year’s budget. Friends, In this year’s budget, 19,500 crore rupees have been announced for high-efficiency solar module manufacturing in the direction of solar energy. This will help in making India a global hub in the manufacturing and R&D of solar modules and related products. Friends, We have also announced the National Hydrogen Mission. India has an inherent advantage in the form of abundant renewable energy power. India can become the hub of Green Hydrogen in the world. The hydrogen ecosystem is interconnected with the fertilizer, refinery and transportation sectors. This is an area in which the private sector should promote innovations so that India’s full potential can be utilized. Friends, Energy storage is a big challenge with renewable energy. In order to find solutions, priority has been given to this year’s budget to maintain growth in the storage capacity. Provisions have also been made in this year’s budget regarding battery swapping policy and interoperability standards. This will reduce the problems faced by electric vehicles in India. Plug-in charging takes more time and is costly also. Since a battery costs 40-50% of the total value of an electric vehicle, swapping will reduce the upfront cost of an electric vehicle. Similarly, there are many possibilities in this fieldwhether it is mobile battery or solar power storage. I think we can all work together in this regard. Friends, Along with energy production, energy conservation is equally important for sustainability. I think a lot needs to be done about how to develop more energy-efficient ACs, heaters, geysers, ovens, etc.Manufacturing of energy-efficient products should be our priority wherever the consumption of electricity is high. I’ll give you an example. The cost of LED bulbs in the country used to be Rs 300-400 when our government came to power in 2014. Our government increased the production of LED bulbs and naturally its prices came down to Rs 70-80. We distributed about 37 crore LED bulbs in the country under the Ujala scheme. As a result, about forty-eight thousand million kilowatt hours of electricity have been saved. Our poor and middle-class are saving 20,000 crore rupees annually in electricity bills.Also, about 40 million tonnes of carbon emissions have been reduced annually. We also replaced the traditional street lights with 125 crore smart LED bulbs. Our local bodies, municipalities, municipal corporations, and panchayats saved 6,000 crore rupees annually in electricity bills by replacing street lights with LED bulbs. This has also saved electricity and about five million tonnes of carbon emissions have also been reduced. You can imagine how one scheme has protected the environment at such a scale. Friends, We can consider coal gasification as an alternative to coal. In this year’s budget, four pilot projects have been introduced for coal gasification which will strengthen technical and financial viability. It requires innovation. I would like the people involved in this field to come up with innovation in coal gasification according to the needs of India. Similarly, the government is also promoting ethanol blending in a mission mode. Extra Differential Excise Duty has been provisioned on unblended fuel in this year’s budget. We need to modernize our sugar mills and distilleries and they need to upgrade technology. We have to work on such distilling processes from which we also get additional by-products like potash and compressed biogas. A few weeks ago, I inaugurated Gobar-Dhan plants in Varanasi and Indore. Can the private sector set up 500 or 1,000 such Gobar-Dhan plants in the next two years? I think the industry needs to make innovative investments to utilize these possibilities. Friends, Our energy demand is going to escalate. Therefore, the transition towards renewable energy is even more important for India. It is estimated that there are 24-25 crore houses in India. How do we advance clean cooking? I think our start-ups can carry this forward very easily. There is also a huge market for solar stoves, which is necessary for the clean-cooking movement. A successful experiment was done in Gujarat where we installed canal-top solar panels. It reduced the cost of land, water was saved and electricity was also generated. In short, there were multiple benefits. Similar experiments are now being held in rivers and lakes elsewhere in the country. We should promote this further. Another thing can be done at home. Can we develop a gardening concept where families can have a solar tree in their gardens and balconies which can generate 10-20 percent of electricity? That house will also create its own identity as a solar tree house and will be known as the house of environmentally- conscious citizens. This way, we can develop a special credible society. And it can also be made very easily and beautifully. Therefore, I would urge builders and architects to think about the solar tree concept in the construction of houses. Micro-hydel gadgets are also found in abundance in our country. We find a lot of waterwheelscalled ‘Gharat’ in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. More research is needed on micro-hydel gadgets to increase power generation. The world is facing a shortage of natural resources. In such a situation, a circular economy is the need of the hour and it has to be made an essential part of life. Innovation is very important for us in every field and new products are necessary. I assure the private sector of the country that the government is standing with you in your efforts. With united efforts, we will not only achieve our goals in this direction, but will also guide the entire humanity. Friends, There is usually a lot of discussions before the budget is prepared. Our TV channels and other media are very engaged in it and there is a good discussion which also benefitsin the preparation of the budget. Many good ideas come up while preparing the budget. But now we are focused (on the implementation of the budget). The budget has been presented and there won’t be any changes. It is now the property of the parliament and it will decide. We have two months to implement the budget from April 1. How do we use these two months to focus on the roadmap for budget implementation and how to implement the proposals in the best way possible? There is a vast difference between the way the government thinks and the way the business world operates in the field. Efforts should be made to bridge that gap in this seminar. There should not be any contradiction in the thinking process between the stakeholders and the decision-makers in the government. There should be no gap in it. If we can ensure this, then many issues can be implemented quickly. But sometimes, it takes six to eight months to correct some anomaly in the file notings and by that time the budget period is over. We want to avoid these mistakes. The government’s purpose behind these seminars is not to tutor you or make you aware of the contours of the budget. You know it better than us. We hold webinars to listen to you. We don’t want suggestions for the budget which has already been prepared. How can we implement it quickly and in the best way for better outcomes? There should be no unnecessary delays. Therefore, I want you to make this webinar successful by suggesting concrete practical examples. I wish you the very best.

Ports in India are generally named after the city or town in which these are situated. However, the Government, in special cases, after due consideration, have renamed the Ports after great leaders in the past. By renaming Kandla Port as “Deendayal Port, Kandla”, a grateful nation would be remembering the invaluable contributions made by one of the greatest sons of India, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay. This will inspire the People of Gujarat, particularly the Youth, who may not be fully aware of the contributions made by the great leader. Background: There have been public demands from various quarters in Gujarat, especially from Kachhh district, to rename ‘Kandla Port’ as ‘Deendayal Port, Kandla’. Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay (25.9.1916 – 1.2.1968) was a prominent leader, who pledged his life to the service of the nation. He devoted his entire life serving the nation and worked among the masses and dedicated and sacrificed his life for the upliftment of the Poor & Working Class at the same time. Upholding the values of democracy founded on tolerance, discipline, selflessness and respect for the law of the land, all his actions were based on the principles of ‘Integral Humanism’. Throughout his life, he worked tirelessly for Indianisation of democracy, honouring the public opinion, selflessness and respect for law of the land. Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay dedicated his entire life for public service and was the epitome of simplicity, honesty and selfless service for the poor and down-trodden. Since the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay was to be celebrated on 25th September, 2017, it was felt that it would be most appropriate if the decision to rename the Kandla Port as Deendayal Port was made as a part of the birth anniversary celebration of this great national leader.",কান্দলা বন্দৰ দীনদয়াল বন্দৰ হিচাপে নামকৰণত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-memorandum-of-understanding-between-india-and-usa-in-insurance-regulatory-sector/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and the Federal Insurance Office, USA. Impact: The MoU provides a framework for cooperation and coordination, including for the exchange of information and research assistance with respect to each Authority’s overview and other lawful responsibilities. Under the agreement, both the countries intend to share their experiences on various regulatory functions and to provide mutual assistance including training activities. India andUSA have also agreed to continue to facilitate cooperation on international standard-setting activities, financial stability and the development and implementation of consumer protection through sound prudential regulation of the insurance sector. Background: IRDAI is a body set up under the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 to regulate, promote and ensure orderly growth of the insurance and re-insurance business in India. Similarly, in USA, Federal Insurance Office (FIO) is vested with the authority to monitor all aspects of the insurance sector and to represent the USA on prudential aspects of international insurance. India and USA have strong business relations with each other and both the countries have been in regular discussions at various political and official levels. Various institutional mechanisms have also been put in place over time to strengthen bi-lateral cooperation on wide ranging multi-sectoral issues between the two countries. USA is one of the major contributors of foreign direct investment in India and many insurance companies have set up joint venture with USA based insurance companies. With increase in foreign investment cap to 49%, there is further scope for foreign investments in Indian insurance sector particularly from USA based companies. Hence the bilateral MoU between IRDAI and FIO, USA holds lot of potential for the two countries.",বীমা নিয়ামক খণ্ডত ভাৰত আৰু মাৰ্কিন যুক্তৰাষ্ট্ৰৰ মাজত বুজাবুজি চুক্তি স্বাক্ষৰত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/opening-remarks-by-pm-at-the-bilateral-meeting-with-the-pm-of-japan/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8-3/,"Excellency, We are meeting today in this hour of grief.

And for all this, today, the people of India remember Abe San very much, remember Japan very much. India is always missing him in a way. But I am confident that under your leadership, India-Japan relations will deepen further, and scale to greater heights. And I firmly believe that we will be able to play an appropriate role in finding solutions to the problems of the world.",জাপানৰ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সৈতে হোৱা দ্বিপাক্ষিক বৈঠকত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা উদ্বোধনী ভাষণৰ ইংৰাজীলৈ কৰা অনুবাদৰ ভাঙন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-interaction-with-indian-community-in-japan/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%82/,"Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Every time I visit Japan, I see that your love and affection is growing with time. There are many of you who have been living here for many years. The language of Japan, its dress, culture, food has become a part of your life in a way, and one of the reasons for being a part is that the culture of the Indian community has been always inclusive.But at the same time, the commitment that Japan has towards its tradition, its values, its life on this earth is very deep. And now the two have met. So it is very natural to have a feeling of belongingness. Friends, You’ve been living here, a lot of people have settled down here. I know many have even got married here. But it is also true that even after living for so many years here, your reverence for India is still intact. When there is good news regarding India, you are overwhelmed with happiness. It happens or not? And when some bad news comes, it makes you very sad. These are the attributes of our people, that we get attached to the land where we work, we get deeply connected but never loose contacts with our roots of the motherland and this is our biggest strength. Friends, When Swami Vivekananda was going to Chicago for his historic address, he visited Japan before that and Japan had left a deep impression on his mind and heart. The patriotism of the people of Japan, the confidence of the people of Japan, their discipline, the awareness of the people of Japan for cleanliness, Vivekananda had praised it openly. Gurudev Rabindranathi ji Tagore also used to say that Japan is a country which is both ancient and modern at the same time. And Tagore said, “Japan has come out of the immemorial east like a lotus blossoming in easy grace, all the while keeping its firm hold upon the profound depth from which it has sprung”. That is, he wanted to say that Japan is as firmly attached to its roots as a lotus flower. With the same grandeur, it also enhances beauty everywhere. Such pious sentiments of these great men of ours explain the depth of our relationship with Japan. Friends, This time when I have come to Japan, we are celebrating seventy years of our diplomatic relations, seven decades. You also must be experiencing yourself while you are here. In India also, everyone feels that India and Japan are natural partners. Japan has played an important role in India’s development journey.Our relationship with Japan is of intimacy, spirituality, our relationship with Japan is of cooperation, of belongingness. And so, in a way, this relationship is of our strength, this relationship is of respect. And this relationship is also of a common resolve for the world. Our relationship with Japan is that of Buddha, of wisdom, of knowledge. We have Mahakal, so there is Daikokuten in Japan. We have Brahma, we have Bonten in Japan, our mother is Saraswati and so we have Benzaiten in Japan. Our Mahadevi is Lakshmi, so there are Kichijoten in Japan. So we have Ganesha and Japan has Kangiten. If there is a tradition of Zen in Japan, then we consider meditation as a medium of action with the soul. Even in the 21st century, we are taking forward these cultural relations of India and Japan with full commitment, and I am the Member of Parliament of Kashi and would like to say with great pride that the former Prime Minister of Japan Abe visited Kashi and he gave a wonderful gift to Kashi, Rudraksh made in collaboration with Japan in Kashi and what was once my workplace, in Ahmedabad, Zen Garden, and kaizen academy are those things that bring us so close. All of you here while in Japan are making this historical bond stronger and stronger. Friends, Today’s world needs perhaps more than ever to follow the path shown by Lord Buddha. This is the path which is the way to save humanity from every challenge of the world, whether it is violence, anarchy, terrorism or climate change. India is fortunate to have the direct blessings of Lord Buddha. Imbibing his thoughts, India continues to serve humanity. No matter what the challenges are, no matter how big it may be, India is looking for solutions to them. Corona caused the biggest crisis in the world in a hundred years. It’s in front of us and when it started, no one knew what will happen next. Initially, it seemed like it is somewhere else. No one knew how to handle this? And there was no vaccine and there was no idea of when the vaccine would come. Even there was doubt on whether the vaccine would come or not. There was an atmosphere of uncertainty all around. Even in those circumstances, India sent medicines to the countries of the world. When the vaccine became available, India provided the Made in India vaccine to crores of its citizens and also to more than hundred countries of the world. Friends, India is making unprecedented investments to further improve its health services. Lakhs of new wellness centres are being built in the country to facilitate health facilities even in remote areas. You will also be happy to know that, perhaps you must have heard today that the World Health Organization (WHO) has honoured India’s ASHA workers, ASHA sisters with the Director General’s Global health leader award. Millions of Asha sisters of India are accelerating the country’s health campaign from maternal care to vaccination, from nutrition to cleanliness, within the village. Today, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our ASHA worker sisters from the soil of Japan. I salute them. Friends, How India is helping to meet global challenges today. Another example of this is the environment. Climate change has become an important crisis facing the world today. We have also seen this challenge in India and we have moved forward to find ways to find a solution from that challenge. India has committed Net zero by 2070. We have also led global initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance. Due to climate change, the risk of natural disaster on the world has also increased. Who else can understand the dangers of these disasters and the pollution caused by them more than the people of Japan? Japan has also built the capacity to fight natural disasters. The way the people of Japan have faced these challenges, there is something to be learnt from every problem, solution has been found and systems have also been developed. Individuals have also been trained in that way. This in itself is admirable. In this direction too, India has taken a lead in CDRI (Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure). Friends, Today, India is also moving very fast for the Green Future, Green Job Clear Roadmap. Electric mobility is being given a wide boost in India. A special mission has been launched to make green hydrogen a substitute for hydrocarbons. Research related to bio-fuel and the construction of infrastructure is being worked out on a very large scale. India has pledged to meet 50 per cent of its total installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel by the end of this decade. Friends, This is the confidence of Indians in solving problems. This confidence is visible today in every field, in every direction, at every step. The way global chain supply has been damaged in the last two years, the entire supply chain is in question. Today, it is a very big crisis in itself for the whole world.To avoid such a situation in the future, we are moving forward with the resolve of self-reliance, and it is not that this resolve of self-reliance is only for India. It is also a huge investment for a stable, trusted global supply chain. Today, the whole world is realising that the speed and scale on which India can work is unprecedented.The world is also seeing today that the scale at which India is emphasizing on its infrastructure, institutional capacity building, is also unprecedented. I am glad that Japan is an important partner in building this capacity of ours. Be it Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail, Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, Dedicated Freight Corridor, these are great examples of India-Japan cooperation. Friends, There is one more special thing about the changes that are taking place in India. We have created a strong and resilient, responsible democracy in India. In the last eight years, we have made it a source of positive change in people’s lives. Today, those people of our society who never felt pride in being part of the democratic process are also joining the democratic process of India. Every time, the record turnout in every election and in that also our mothers and sisters who are here will be happy, if you look at India’s elections carefully, you will notice that more women are voting than men. That is proof of that. How much democracy in India is conscious of the rights of ordinary citizens, how dedicated it is and how powerful it makes every citizen. Friends, Along with the basic features, we are also giving a new dimension to India’s aspiration. In India, a system of inclusiveness, leakage proof governance, i.e., a delivery system, making full use of technology, is being expanded so that whoever deserves can get his due without any hassles, without any recommendation, without any corruption and we are fully engaged with it. And this use of technology, this scheme of Direct Benefit Transfer has helped, has protected the rights of our citizens living in forests, especially those living in remote villages of India, in the last two years in this difficult period of Corona. Friends, India’s banking system has been operating continuously even in these difficult situations and one of the reasons for this is the digital revolution that has come in India. The power that the digital network has created, it is getting this result. And you will be happy to know friends about the digital & cashless transactions all over the world and here in Japan also you must be well acquainted with the technology. But you will be happy, surprised and proud to hear this, out of all the digital transactions taking place in the entire world, 40 percent of them take place in India alone. In the initial days of Corona, when everything was closed, even during the period of that crisis, the Government of India could easily reach out to crores of Indians at once with the help of a click of a button. And for whom the help was intended, he got it, got it on time and he also got the strength to deal with this crisis. In India today people led governance is working in true sense. This model of governance is making delivery efficient. This is the biggest reason for the ever-increasing faith in Democracy. Friends, Today when India is celebrating 75 years of independence. Celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. So where do we plan to take India in the next 25 years i.e. by 100th year of independence, what heights do we want to attain, today India is busy preparing that roadmap. Friends, this elixir of independence is going to write a lofty history of prosperity of India. I know that these are the resolutions we have taken. These resolutions are huge in themselves. But friends, the upbringing that I have been brought up, the values I have received, the people whom I have sculpted, have also become a habit for me.I do not enjoy carving on butter, I do enjoyit on stone. But friends, the question is not about Modi. Today 130 crore people from India and I am seeing the same in the eyes of the people sitting in Japan, the confidence of 130 crore countrymen, 130 crore resolve, 130 crore dreams and this immense power to fulfil these 130 crore dreams is sure to give result my friends.We will see the India of our dreams. Today India is regaining its lost faith in its civilization, its culture, its institutions. Today, every Indian across the world is talking about India with great pride, with eyes wide open. This change has come. Before coming here today, I have got a chance to see some people who are spending their lives influenced by the greatness of India. And with great pride they were telling things about yoga.They are dedicated to yoga. Even in Japan, there is hardly anyone who has not heard of Yoga. Our Ayurveda, our traditional system of medicine, nowadays our spices are very much in demand from far-off places. People are ordering our turmeric. Not only that, our friends, khadi, otherwise, after independence, it gradually became the costume of leaders. Today it has been revived again.Khadi is becoming global. This is the changing picture of India, friends. As much as today’s India is proud of its past, it is equally optimistic about the technology led, science led, innovation led and talent led future. Influenced by Japan, Swami Vivekananda once said that we Indian youth must visit Japan at least once in our life. I do not believe that you people have come to Japan after reading these sentences, but Vivekananda had told the people of India that brother, you must once go and see how is Japan. Friends, Taking forward the same goodwill of what Vivekananda ji had said in those days, in line with today’s era, I would like to say that every young man of Japan should visit India at least once in his life. You have mesmerized this great land of Japan with your skills, with your talent, with your entrepreneurship. You have to constantly introduce Japan to the colours of Indianness, to the possibilities of India as well. Be it faith or adventure, India is a natural tourist destination for Japan. And so come to India, see India, engage with India, with this resolve I would request every Indian in Japan to engage with it. I am sure that India-Japan friendship will attain new heights with your meaningful efforts.To this wonderful reception and I was looking while coming in, the enthusiasm, the slogans, the enthusiasm all around and the India you are trying to live in yourself, it is really heart-warming. May this love, this affection of yours always remain.You came here in such a large number and I was told that some friends have come here not only from Tokyo but also from outside. I used to visit earlier. Couldn’t go this time, you all came here. But I liked the opportunity to meet all of you, I once again thank you all. I express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart.

The SPR facilities at Chandikhol and Padur will be underground rock caverns and will have capacities of 4 MMT and 2.5 MMT respectively. Government had announced setting up of two additional SPRs during the budget announcement for 2017-18. The in principle approval is to take up the project under PPP model to reduce budgetary support of Government of India. The terms and conditions of such participation, would be determined by M/oP&NG in consultation with Ministry of Finance after conducting road shows to elicit requirements of market, including prospective investors. ISPRL has already constructed underground rock caverns for storage of 5.33MMT of crude oil at three locations, viz. Vishakhapatnam (1.33 MMT), Mangalore (1.5 MMT) and Padur (2.5 MMT). The total 5.33 MMT capacity under Phase-I of the SPR programme is currently estimated to supply approximately 10 days of India’s crude requirement according to the consumption data for FY2016-17. Cabinet’s approval for establishing additional 6.5 MMT Strategic Petroleum Reserve facilities will provide an additional supply of about 12 days and is expected to augment India’s energy security. The construction phase of the SPRs at Chandikhol and Padur is likely to generate significant direct & indirect employment opportunities in the states of Odisha and Karnataka.",ওড়িশাৰ চান্দিখোল আৰু কৰ্ণাটকৰ পাডুৰত অতিৰিক্ত ৬.৫ মিলিয়ন মেট্ৰিকটন বহনক্ষম কৌশলগত পেট্ৰোলিয়াম ভাণ্ডাৰ স্থাপনত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-greets-ndrf-team-on-their-raising-day/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has greeted the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team on their Raising Day.

Governor of Andhra Pradesh Shri Biswabhusan Harichandan, Chief Minister Shri Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, Union Minister Shri G.Kishan Reddy were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that he is feeling privileged at getting an opportunity to salute the great land of Andhra Pradesh with such a rich legacy. He noted the confluence of major events like Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, 125th birth anniversary of Alluri Sitarama Raju and 100 years of Rampa Rebellion. The Prime Minister bowed to the memory of the great “Manyam Veerudu” Alluri Sitarama Raju and paid him tributes on behalf of the entire country. He also expressed happiness at meeting the members of the family of the great freedom fighter. The Prime Minister also paid tributes to the ‘Adivasi Parampara’ and the freedom fighter that emerged from the tradition of Andhra Pradesh. The Prime Minister informed that the 125th birth anniversary of Alluri Sitarama Raju Garu and the 100th anniversary of Rampa Kranti will be celebrated throughout the year. Restoration of his birth place at Pandrangi, renovation of Chintapalli police station, construction of Alluri Dhyana Mandir at Mogallu, these works are symbols of the spirit of Amrit Mahotsav, he said. The Prime Minister said that today’s programme reflects the pledge of making everyone aware of the heroic deeds of our freedom fighters. The Prime Minister noted that the freedom struggle is not just a history of a few years, few areas, or of a few people. This history is the history of sacrifice, tenacity and sacrifices of every nook and corner of India. “History of our freedom movement is a symbol of the strength of our diversity, culture and of our unity as a nation”, he added. Terming Alluri Sitarama Raju a symbol of India’s culture, tribal identity, valour, ideals and values, the Prime Minister remarked that from the birth of Sitaram Raju Garu to his sacrifice, his life journey is an inspiration to all of us. He dedicated his life for the rights of tribal society, for their happiness and sorrow and for the freedom of the country. “Alluri Sitarama Raju represents the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ that has been uniting the country in one thread of unity”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said that India’s spiritualism gave Alluri Sitarama Raju a sense of compassion and kindness, a sense of identification and equality for the tribal society, knowledge and courage. Noting the youth of Alluri Sitarama Raju and those who laid down their lives at the Rampa Rebellion, the Prime Minister emphasised that their sacrifice is a source of energy and inspiration for the entire nation even today. “Youth of the country led the freedom struggle. Today, this is the best opportunity for the youth to come forward for the development of the country”, the Prime Minister said. He pointed out that “today, there are new opportunities, avenues, thought processes and possibilities in New India today and our youth is taking up the responsibility of realising these possibilities.” The Prime Minister said Andhra Pradesh is the land of heroes and patriots. Here there were freedom heroes like Pingali Venkayya, who prepared the flag of the country. This is the land of heroes like Kaneganti Hanumanthu, Kandukuri Veeresalingam Pantulu and Potti Sriramulu. The Prime Minister urged that today, it is the responsibility of all of us countrymen to fulfil the dreams of these fighters in Amrit Kaal. Our new India should be the India of their dreams. An India – in which the poor, farmers, labourers, backward, tribals have equal opportunities for all. The Prime Minister stated that, during the last 8 years, the government has worked relentlessly for the welfare of the tribal community of the country. The Prime Minister said for the first time since independence, tribal museums are being set up to showcase the tribal pride and heritage in the country. “Alluri Sitarama Raju Memorial Tribal Freedom Fighters Museum” is also being built in Lambasingi, Andhra Pradesh. Similarly 15 November, the birthday of Bhagwan Birsa Munda has been demarcated as Rashtriya Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas. The Prime Minister said that the foreign rulers perpetrated maximum atrocities on the tribal community and tried to destroy their culture. The Prime Minister said today tribal art and skills are getting a new identity through the Skill India Mission. ‘Vocal for Local’ is making tribal art skills a means of income. Decades old laws which prevented tribal people from cutting forest produce like bamboo, we changed them and gave them rights on forest produce, he said. Similarly, the number of forest products for MSP procurement increased from 12 to more than 90. More than 3000 Van Gan Vikas Kendra and More than 50,000 Van Gana Self Help Groups are connecting tribal products and art with modern opportunities. Aspirational Districts Schemes will greatly benefit tribal districts and, on the education front, more than 750 Eklavya Model schools are being established and education in Mother tongue is being promoted under National Education Policy. The Prime Minister said “Manyam Veerudu” Alluri Sitarama Raju, during his struggle with the British, showed that – ‘Dum hai to mujhe rok lo’- Stop me if you can. Today the country is also facing the challenges before it. With the same courage, 130 crore countrymen, with unity and strength, are telling every challenge – ‘Dum hai to hamain rok lo’, the Prime Minister concluded. Background of the event As part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Government is committed to giving due recognition to the contribution of freedom fighters and making people across the country aware of them. As part of the endeavour, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched the year-long 125th birth anniversary celebration of the legendary freedom fighter, Alluri Sitarama Raju, in Bhimavaram. Born on 4th July 1897, Alluri Sitarama Raju is remembered for his fight against the British, in order to safeguard the interests of the tribal communities in the Eastern Ghats region. He had led the Rampa rebellion, which was launched in 1922. He is referred to as “Manyam Veerudu” (Hero of the Jungles) by the local people. The government has planned a series of initiatives as part of the year-long celebration. The birthplace of Alluri Sitarama Raju at Pandrangi in Vizianagaram district and Chintapalli Police Station (to mark 100 years of Rampa Rebellion – the attack on this police station marked the beginning of Rampa Rebellion) will be restored. Government has also approved the construction of Alluri Dhyana Mandir at Mogallu with a statue of Alluri Sitarama Raju in Dhyana Mudra, depicting the life story of the freedom fighter through mural paintings and AI-enabled interactive system.",অন্ধ্ৰ প্ৰদেশৰ ভীমাৱৰমত কিংবদন্তি স্বাধীনতা সেনানী আল্লুৰী সীতাৰামা ৰাজুৰ ১২৫ সংখ্যক জন্ম জয়ন্তী উপলক্ষে আয়োজিত বছৰজোৰা কাৰ্যক্ৰমৰ শুভাৰম্ভ ঘোষণা কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-address-conference-on-transformation-of-aspirational-districts/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, will address the Conference on Transformation of Aspirational Districts tomorrow.

Naik Healthcare Complex and Nirali Multi Speciality Hospital in Navsari. He also virtually inaugurated the Kharel education complex. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel was among those present on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion the Prime Minister said that today Navsari has received many projects that will improve the ease of living for the people in the area. He also appreciated the spirit of Nirali Trust and Shri AM Naik who converted a personal tragedy into an opportunity to ensure that no other family faces that and congratulated the people of Navsari for modern health complex and multi speciality hospital.

He elaborated that, along with modernization of treatment facilities, efforts have been made to improve nutrition and clean lifestyle. “We aim to protect the poor and middle class from disease and, in case of disease, we aim to minimize the expenses” the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister recalled his days as Gujarat Chief Minister when he launched schemes like Swasthya Gujarat, Ujjwal Gujarat, Mukhyamanti Amritam Yojna. This experience, he said, is helping in serving the poor of the entire country. He informed that under Ayushman Bharat 41 lakh patients have taken benefit of free treatment in Gujarat, many of these were women, deprived and tribal people. The scheme has saved more than 7 thousand crore rupees of the patients. Gujarat has received more than 7.5 thousand health and wellness centers and 600 ‘Deendayal Aushadhalaya’. Government hospitals in Gujarats are equipped to deal with advanced treatment of diseases like cancer. Many cities like Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Rajkot etc are seeing the facilities of cancer treatment. Same expansion of infrastructure is visible in the state with regard to kidney treatment. The Prime Minister also talked about improvement in the health and nutrition parameters of women and children. He referred to Chiranjivi Yojna for institutional delivery, which has benefitted 14 lakh mothers. The Prime Minister informed that Gujarat’s Chiranjivi and Khikhilahat Schemes have been expanded at national level into Mission Indradhanush and PM Matru Vandana Yojana The Prime MInister also listed the measures to improve medical education in the state.

The Prime Minister ended by saluting the service spirit of the people of Gujarat. He said “for the people of Gujarat, health and service are the goals of life. We have the inspiration of great men like Bapu who made service a strength of the country. This spirit of Gujarat is still full of energy. Here even the most successful person is associated with some service work. Gujarat’s service of spirit will increase in tandem with increase in its capability, the Prime Minister concluded.",নৱসাৰীত এ.এম. নায়ক হেল্থকেয়াৰ কমপ্লেক্স আৰু নিৰালী মাল্টি স্পেচিয়েলিটি হস্পিটেল উদ্বোধন কৰে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-inauguration-of-golden-jubilee-celebrations-of-agradoot-group-of-newspapers/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AA-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%AB-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AA/,"The energetic Chief Minister of Assam Shri Himanta Biswa Sharma ji, Ministers Shri Atul Bora ji, Keshab Mahanta ji, Pijush Hazarika ji, Chairman of the Golden Jubilee Celebration Committee Dr. Dayanand Pathak ji, Chief Editor of Agradoot and veteran journalist Shri Kanak Sen Deka ji, other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! My heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all my friends, journalists, staff and readers associated with the powerful voice of North East in Assamese language, Agradoot, on 50 years i.e. five decades of golden journey! I hope ‘Agradoot’ scales newer heights in the times to come. My best wishes to Pranjal and his young team! The choice of Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra for this ceremony is also wonderfully aligned with this occasion. Srimanta Sankardev Ji had strengthened the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’ through Assamese poetry and compositions. The same values have also been enriched by ‘Dainik Agradoot’ with its journalism. Your newspaper has played a huge role in keeping the spirit of harmony and unity alive in the country. Under the guidance of Deka ji, the Dainik Agradoot has always kept the national interest paramount. Even during the Emergency, when our democracy was attacked, Dainik Agradoot and Deka ji did not compromise on journalistic values. He not only empowered Indian journalism in Assam, but also created a new generation for value based journalism. In the 75th year of independence, the golden jubilee celebrations of the Dainik Agradoot is not only reaching a milestone, but is also an inspiration for journalism and national duty in the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’. Friends, For the past few days, Assam is also facing great challenges and difficulties in the form of floods. Normal life has been seriously disrupted in many districts of Assam. Himanta ji and his team are working hard day and night for relief and rescue operation. From time to time I also keep communicating with many people there about this. Talks are going on with the Chief Minister. Today, I assure the people of Assam and the readers of Agradoot that the Central and State Governments are working together to bring them out of their difficulties. Friends, The role of ‘journalism in Indian languages’ has been a pioneer in India’s tradition, culture, freedom struggle and development journey. Assam has been an awakened area in terms of journalism. Journalism was started in Assamese language about 150 years ago which continued to prosper with the passage of time. Assam has given many such journalists and editors to the country who have given new dimensions to vernacular journalism. Even today, this kind of journalism is doing a great service in connecting the common man with the government. Friends, The journey of the Dainik Agradoot in the last 50 years narrates the story of the change that has taken place in Assam. People’s movements have played an important role in bringing about this change. The people’s movements protected the cultural heritage and the pride of Assam. And now with the help of public participation, Assam is writing a new development story. Friends, Democracy is inherent in the Indian society because there is a way to eliminate differences by contemplation, debates and discussion here. When there is a dialogue, there is a solution. It is through dialogue that possibilities expand. Therefore, along with the flow of knowledge in Indian democracy, the stream of information is also flowing continuously and ceaselessly. Agradoot has also been an important medium of carrying forward this tradition. Friends, No matter which part of the world we live in today, the newspaper published in our mother tongue makes us feel at home. You are already aware that the Dainik Agradoot in Assamese language was published twice a week before. It had started its journey from there. Now it has become a daily newspaper. And now it is also available online in the form of e-paper. No matter which corner of the world you are in, you can stay connected with Assam and the news of Assam. The development journey of this newspaper reflects the transformation and digital development of our country. Digital India today has become a strong medium of ‘local connect’. Today the person, who reads online newspaper, also knows how to make online payment. Dainik Agradoot and our media have been a witness to this transformation of Assam and the country. Friends, As we are completing 75 years of independence, there is one question we must ask. Why should intellectual space be limited to a few people who know a particular language? This question is not only about emotions but also about scientific logic. Just imagine! Why did India lag behind in research and development in the last three industrial revolutions even when India had a tradition of knowledge, innovation, new thoughts and ideas for centuries? A major reason for the same is that we had this wealth in Indian languages. The expansion of Indian languages was hindered during the long period of colonialism, and modern science, knowledge and research was limited to only a few languages. A large section of India had no access to those languages or to that knowledge. That is, the scope of Intellect’s expertise kept shrinking due to which the pool of invention and innovation also became limited. In the 21st century, when the world is moving towards the fourth industrial revolution, India has a huge opportunity to lead the world. This opportunity is because of our data power and digital inclusion. We are trying to ensure that no Indian should be deprived of best information, best knowledge, best skill and best opportunity just because of language barriers. That is why we encouraged studies in Indian languages in the National Education Policy. The students who are studying in their respective mother tongue will be able to understand the needs of their region and the aspirations of their people irrespective of the profession they choose later. Besides, now we are trying to make the world’s best content available in Indian languages. For this we are working on the National Language Translation Mission. We are trying to ensure that every Indian is able to use the Internet, which is a huge storehouse of knowledge and information, in his own language. The Bhashini platform has been launched for this purpose just two days ago. This is the Unified Language Interface of Indian languages, an attempt to connect every Indian to the Internet easily so that he/she can easily communicate and connect with this modern source of information, knowledge, government, government facilities in the mother tongue. It is important from every aspect both social and economic, to make the Internet available to crores of Indians in their mother tongue. Above all, it will help a lot in strengthening the spirit of ‘ Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat’, connecting with different states of the country, for travelling and understanding the culture. Friends, The entire North East including Assam is very rich in terms of tourism, culture and biodiversity. Yet, this entire area has not been explored as much as it should have been. The rich heritage that Assam has in the form of language and music should reach the country and the world. For the last 8 years, an unprecedented effort is being made to link Assam and the entire North East with modern connectivity. With this, the role of Assam and North East India in India’s growth story is increasing continuously. Now if this region is connected digitally in terms of languages, then the culture, tribal tradition and tourism of Assam will be highly benefitted. Friends, Therefore, I would like to make a special request to all the vernacular journalism institutions of the country like ‘Agradoot’ to make our readers aware of every such effort of Digital India. Everyone’s effort is needed to enrich and empower India’s tech future. The positive role played by our media in campaigns like Swachh Bharat Mission is appreciated all over the country and the world even today. Similarly, by participating in fulfilment of the resolutions of the country during the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’, you can give it a new direction and a new energy. You are well aware of water conservation and its importance in Assam. In this direction, the country is currently taking forward the Amrit Sarovar Abhiyan. The country is working towards construction of 75 Amrit Sarovars in every district. I have full confidence that with the help of Agradoot, there will be no person in Assam who will not be associated with it. Everyone’s efforts can give a new impetus to this. Similarly, the local people of Assam and our tribal society have contributed so much in the freedom struggle. As a media institution, you can play a major role in taking this glorious past to the masses. I am sure that the duty of instilling energy in these positive efforts within the society that Agradoot has been performing for the last 50 years will be continued for many decades to come. It will continue to work as a leader in the development of the people of Assam and the culture of Assam. Well informed or a better informed society should be our goal! Let us all work together in this direction. Once again I wish you all the best for this golden journey and heartiest wishes for a better future!",অগ্ৰদূত গ্ৰুপ অফ নিউজপেপাৰ্ছৰ সোণালী জয়ন্তী সমাৰোহৰ উদ্বোধন উপলক্ষে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-inauguration-of-the-second-campus-of-chittaranjan-national-cancer-institute-cnci/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%9E%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%B0/,"Namaskar, Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal Ms Mamata ji, my colleagues in the Union Cabinet Mansukh Mandaviya ji, Subhas Sarkar ji, Shantanu Thakur ji, John Barla ji and Nisith Pramanik ji, Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari ji, members of the governing body of CNCI Kolkata, all the hardworking friends associated with the health sector, other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! Today we have taken another step by reinforcing the national resolve to provide the best healthcare facilities to every citizen of the country. This second campus of the Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute has come up with significant facilities for many citizens of West Bengal. This will offer a huge relief especially to those poor and middle-class families whose kith and kin are battling cancer. Cancer-related treatments, surgeries and therapies will now be more accessible due to this modern hospital in Kolkata. Friends, Today, the country has crossed another important milestone. The country started the year with vaccination for children between the ages of 15 and 18. Today, in the first week of the first month of the year, India is also achieving the historic milestone of administering 150 crore or 1.5 billion vaccine doses. 150 crore vaccine dose in less than a year! This is a huge number in terms of statistics. It is no less than a surprise for most of the developed countries of the world, but for India, it is a symbol of the strength of 130 crore countrymen. For India, it symbolizes new willpower that has the courage to do anything to make the impossible possible. For India, this is a symbol of self-confidence, self-reliance and self-esteem! Today, on this occasion, I congratulate all the countrymen. Friends, Our vaccination program is as important in the fight against Corona as the dangerous disguised Coronavirus. Today, the world is once again facing a new variant of the Corona and that is Omicron. Cases are also increasing rapidly in our country due to this new variant. Therefore, this shield of 150 crore vaccine doses becomes very important to us. Today, more than 90 percent of India’s adult population has received a single dose of the vaccines. More than 1.5 crore children have been vaccinated within just five days. This achievement belongs to the entire country, to every government. I especially thank the scientists, the vaccine manufacturers and our colleagues in the health sector for this achievement. It is through the collective efforts of everybody that the country has taken that resolution to the pinnacle, which we started from scratch. Friends, This spirit of ‘Sabka Prayas (everyone’s effort) is giving strength to the country in the fight against the biggest pandemic of 100 years. This strength is visible everywhere today from building basic and critical infrastructure to fighting Covid, to the world’s fastest, free-vaccination campaign. The speed with which we have developed such a huge infrastructure from testing to vaccination in our country with such geographical, economic and social diversity is an example for the entire world. Friends, Light becomes more important in the wake of dense darkness. Morale becomes more important when there are bigger challenges. And weapons become more important when the battle is difficult. So far, the government has provided about 110 million doses of corona vaccines free of cost to West Bengal. Bengal has also been given more than 1,500 ventilators and 9,000 new oxygen cylinders. Forty-nine new PSA oxygen plants have also started functioning. These will help the people of West Bengal in the fight against Corona. Friends, The statues of Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das ji and Maharshi Sushruta at the Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute campus are a great inspiration for all of us. Deshbandhu ji used to say – “I want to be born in this country again and again so that I can live for this country and work for it.” Maharshi Sushruta is a reflection of ancient Indian knowledge in the field of health. With such inspirations, holistic efforts have been made in the last few years for complete solutions related to the health of the countrymen. Today, with the spirit of ‘Sabka Prayas’, the work of integrating the country’s health infrastructure and health planning with national resolutions is accelerating. We are constantly working to tackle the challenges that exist in the health sector today as well as to secure the future. Attempts are being made to eliminate sources of the diseases. Our government is focusing on making treatment affordable and accessible in case of illness. At the same time, health services are being improved by expanding the capacity of doctors and medical infrastructure. Friends, Therefore, the country is accelerating preventive health, affordable healthcare, supply-side intervention, and mission mode campaigns to transform its health sector. Preventive health care is being promoted through Yoga, Ayurveda, Fit India Movement, Universal Immunization, etc. National schemes like the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ and ‘Har Ghar Jal’ are helping protect the village and poor families from many diseases. Water polluted by arsenic and other sources is also a major cause of cancer in many states of the country. The ‘Har Ghal Jal’ campaign is helping a lot in solving this problem. Friends, Our poor and lower-middle-class people were deprived of health facilities for a long time because treatment was either not accessible or it was very expensive. If the poor man was afflicted with a serious illness, he had only two options – to take a loan, sell his house or land or avoid the idea of treatment. Cancer is such a disease that the poor and middle-class people start losing heart upon hearing its name. The country is constantly taking steps for affordable and accessible treatment to get the poor out of this vicious cycle and anxiety. Over the years, the cost of medicines needed to treat cancer has dropped significantly. Right now, Mansukh Bhai was also telling it in detail. In the more than 8,000 Jan Aushadhi centers that have been set up all over the country, including West Bengal, medicines and surgical supplies are being provided at very affordable prices. More than 50 cancer drugs are also available at these stores at very low prices. Special Amrit stores are also operating across the country to provide affordable medicines for cancer. This service spirit and sensitivity of the government is helping ensure the affordable treatment to the poor. The price of 500 medicines that the government has controlled is also saving patients more than Rs 3,000 crore every year. Citizens’ money is being saved. Heart patients are saving more than Rs 4,500 crore every year due to price-fixing of coronary stents. The government’s decision to reduce the price of knee implants has been of special benefit to our senior citizens, our elderly mothers, sisters and men. As a result, there is a saving of Rs 1,500 crore for elderly patients every year. Under the Prime Minister’s National Dialysis Program, the government has provided free dialysis to 12 lakh poor patients. This has also saved them more than Rs 520 crore. Friends, Ayushman Bharat Yojana is becoming a global benchmark in terms of affordable and inclusive healthcare. Under the PM-JAY scheme, more than 2.6 crore patients across the country have undergone free treatment in hospitals. It is estimated that if these schemes were not in place, these patients would have to spend 50,000 to 60,000 crore rupees on their own treatment. Friends, Ayushman Bharat has also benefited more than 17 lakh cancer patients. These patients have got every facility in the hospital free of cost whether it is chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery. Imagine how many poor people’s lives would be in danger or how many families would be stuck in a vicious cycle of debt if the government did not make these efforts. Friends, Ayushman Bharat is not just a means of free treatment, but it is also proving to be very effective in early detection and treatment. It is very essential for all serious diseases like cancer. Otherwise, in most cases, cancer was detected only in the last stage when it became incurable. In order to overcome this problem, emphasis is being laid on screening people over the age of 30 for diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Thousands of health and wellness centers being built in villages under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana are proving to be very useful. More than 5,000 such health and wellness centers have been set up in Bengal too. About 15 crore people across the country have been screened for oral, breast and cervical cancer. Thousands of health workers have been specially trained at the village level for the treatment of those who show symptoms after the screening. Friends, Another major problem of our health sector has been the huge gap between demand and supply. Whether it is doctors and other health professionals, efforts are being made on mission mode to fill this gap of demand and supply in the health infrastructure. By the year 2014, the number of undergraduate and postgraduate seats in the country was around 90,000. In the last seven years, 60,000 new seats have been added. We had only six AIIMS till 2014. Today, the country is moving towards a strong network of 22 AIIMS. Work is in progress to set up at least one medical college in every district of India. Facilities for the treatment of serious diseases like cancer are being added in all these institutes. Nineteen State Cancer Institutes and 20 Tertiary Care Cancer Centers have also been sanctioned to strengthen the cancer care infrastructure in the country. Work is in full swing at more than 30 institutions. In West Bengal also, treatment of cancer patients from Kolkata, Murshidabad and Bardhaman will be facilitated. Our Health Minister Mansukh Bhai has also described it in detail. All these efforts will have a huge impact on the availability of doctors in our country. There will be as many doctors over the next 10 years as we had in last 70 years. Friends, The two major national campaigns launched in the country last year will also help modernize the health sector of India. The Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission will increase the convenience of the countrymen in treatment. Digital records of medical history will make treatment easier and more effective; reduce the hassle of hospital visits for minor ailments, and also save citizens from the extra expenses on treatment. Similarly, the medical infrastructure related to critical healthcare will be accessible in big cities as well as at district and block levels under the Ayushman Bharat Infrastructure Mission. Under this scheme, West Bengal has also been assured of more than 2,500 crore rupees in the last five years. It will create hundreds of health sub-centers, about 1,000 urban health and wellness centers, dozens of district integrated public health labs, and the capacity of hundreds of critical care beds in district hospitals across the state. With such efforts, we will be able to deal with pandemics like Corona in a better way in the future. This campaign to make India healthy and capable will continue like this. I once again urge all citizens to be vigilant and take all necessary precautions. I once again thank everyone present at this event from the bottom of my heart. I wish you all the best. Thank you very much.",চিত্তৰঞ্জন ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় কৰ্কট প্ৰতিষ্ঠান (CNCI) ৰ দ্বিতীয়টো চৌহদৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সম্বোধনৰ পূৰ্ণপা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-indian-cricket-team-for-their-victory-against-pakistan-in-asia-cup-2022/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Indian Cricket team for their victory against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022.

He observed that the implementation of NEP 2020 in the two years since its launch, has seen many initiatives being unrolled to achieve the objectives of access, equity, inclusivity and quality, as laid down under the policy. From special efforts to track out of school children and bring them back into the mainstream, to introduction of multiple entry and exit in higher education, many transformative reforms have been initiated that will define and lead the progress of the country as we enter the ‘Amrit Kaal’. School Education Prime Minister was apprised that the work of formulation of National Curriculum Framework, under the guidance of the National Steering Committee, is in progress. In school education, initiatives like quality ECCE in Balavatika, NIPUN Bharat, Vidya Pravesh, examination reforms and innovative pedagogies like Art-Integrated Education, toy-based pedagogy are being adopted for better learning outcomes and holistic development of children. He observed that a hybrid system of online and offline learning should be developed to avoid overexposure of technology of school-going children. The databases maintained by Anganwadi centers should be seamlessly integrated with the school databases as children move from Anganwadis to Schools. Regular Health check-ups and screening for children in schools should be carried out with the help of technology. Emphasis should be laid on use of indigenously developed toys to develop conceptual skills in students. He also suggested that secondary schools with science labs should engage with farmers in their area for soil testing to create awareness about soil health. Multidisciplinarity in Higher Education Prime Minister was also informed that the guidelines for Multiple Entry-Exit for flexibility and lifelong learning, along with the launch Academic Bank of Credit on Digilocker platform will now make it possible for students to study as per their convenience and choice. In order to create new possibilities for life-long learning and centrally involve critical and interdisciplinary thinking in learners, UGC has published guidelines according to which students can pursue two academic programmes simultaneously. The National Higher Education Qualification Framework (NHEQF) is also at an advanced stage of preparation. UGC is revising the existing “Curriculum Framework and Credit System for Undergraduate Programme” in alignment with NHEQF. Multi Modal Education Online, open and multi-modal learning have been promoted vigorously by both schools and higher education institutions. This initiative has helped in reducing the learning loss due to the Covid 19 pandemic and will contribute greatly in reaching education to remote and inaccessible parts of the country. SWAYAM, DIKSHA, SWAYAM PRABHA, Virtual Labs and other online resource portals have all seen sharp rise in the hits and student registrations. These portals are providing study materials in multiple Indian languages including sign language and in audio formats for the visually impaired. In addition to the above, UGC has notified Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and Online Programmes Regulations under which 59 Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) are offering 351 full-fledged Online programmes and 86 HEIs are offering 1081 ODL programmes. The permissible limit of online content in a programme has also been raised to 40%. Innovation and Start Up In order to encourage an ecosystem of Start-up and Innovation, 2,774 Institution’s Innovation Councils have been set up in HEIs in 28 States and 6 UTs. Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievement (ARIIA) aligned with NEP has been launched in December, 2021 for creating a culture of research, incubation and start-ups. 1438 institutions participated in ARIIA. 100 Institutions have been funded by AICTE with industry participation for Idea Development, Evaluation and Application (IDEA) Labs for Experiential learning rather than rote learning. Promotion of Indian Languages Stress is being paid to multilinguality in education and testing to ensure that lack of knowledge of English does not impede the educational attainment of any student. With this objective in mind states are publishing bilingual/ trilingual textbooks at foundational level and content on DIKSHA platform has been made available in 33 Indian languages. NIOS has introduced Indian Sign Language (ISL) as a language subject at the Secondary Level. NTA has conducted the JEE exam in 13 languages. AICTE has developed an AI-based translation App and study material is being translated into Indian languages. Technical Book Writing is being undertaken in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.

The Prime Minister remarked that Gujarat and the entire nation is swallowed by grief from the loss of lives after the tragedy in Morbi yesterday. In this hour of grief all of us are with the families of the victims. He said that the Chief Minister and his team are whole-heartedly working for the relief work. “Last night Bhupendrabhai reached Morbi directly from Kevadiya and took charge of the relief work. I am in constant touch with him and the officials involved in the relief work. NDRF team and personnel from armed forces have reached. I assure people of Gujarat from the land of AmbaJi that no stone will be left unturned in the relief work ”, he said. The Prime Minister mentioned that he was in two minds whether he should cancel this event or not, but knowing the significance of water supply projects in Banaskantha and the love of the people, he emboldened his spirit and came forward to inaugurate these projects worth more than Rs 8000 crores. He underlined that these projects will help in irrigation facilities to more than six districts of Gujarat including Banaskantha, Patan and Mehsana. Recalling the tough times that the state has faced in the past, the Prime Minister said that it is the undying spirit of the people of Gujarat that gives them the strength to deal with any adversity with whatever resources they have. “Banaskantha is a living and breathing example of this”, Shri Modi said as he highlighted the development works that have transformed the district today. The Prime Minister recalled when thousands of districts of North Gujarat had fluoride contaminated water and said that the issues related to water have a major effect on agricultural life in the region. He informed, the condition was such that no landowner would find a buyer if they wanted to sell their land. The Prime Minister interjected, “Since the time I have become a ‘sevak’ of the land, it was our government that identified the problems of the region and worked towards completing them with utmost dedication and sincerity.” “We focussed on water conservation, built check dams and ponds”, Shri Modi said. The Prime Minister gave examples of Sujalam-Sufalam Yojna, Wasmo Yojna and Pani Samitis. He also underlined the crucial role played by women which resulted in the entire North Gujarat region including Kutch flourishing with drip irrigation and ‘per drop more crop’ model while giving a boost to agriculture, horticulture as well as tourism in the region. “One hand we have the Banas Dairy while on the other hand a 100 MW Solar Power Plant, we have accomplished the goal of getting tap water to every house in the region” the Prime Minister added. Shri Modi underlined that drip irrigation and micro irrigation techniques have drawn the attention of the entire country towards Banaskantha and also led to world wide recognition. The Prime Minister remarked, “Today, Banaskanta is writing its own chapter in the history of development.” He informed that 4 lakh hectares of land in Banaskantha are dedicated to using drip and micro irrigation that has resulted in the water table not getting depleted further. “This is not just benefiting you but also securing the lives of future generations” he said. Highlighting the Sujalam-Sufalam Yojna, the Prime Minister praised the people of the region who have silenced all the critics with their effort and dedication and made the Sujalam-Sufalam Yojna a grand success. Highlighting the work done in the last 19-20 years, the Prime Minister informed that long recharge canals of hundreds of kilometers have been built under the Sujalam-Sufalam scheme. He further added that village ponds have also been revitalized due to the laying of the pipeline and rising levels of groundwater. The Prime Minister further informed that the two pipelines that are about to be built will benefit more than 1 thousand village ponds. Elaborating the project plans, the Prime Minister explained that the pipeline is being extended up to Mukteshwar Dam and Karmavat Talab and water is being lifted with the help of electric pumps at places with high altitudes. The Prime Minister further added that a distribution canal is being constructed from the main canal of Narmada that will benefit dozens of villages in Tharad, Vav and Suigaon talukas. “Many villages in 6 talukas of Patan and Banaskantha will also benefit from the Kasra-Dantiwada pipeline. In the coming time, water from Narmada river will come into Mukteshwar dam and Karmavat pond. This will benefit Vadgam in Banaskantha, Siddhapur in Patan and Kheralu taluka of Mahesana” the Prime Minister noted. “Offering water to someone is considered a pious act”, the Prime Minister exclaimed, “The one who gets water is bearer of nectar and that nectar makes one invincible. The people bestow their blessings on that person. That is the importance of water in our lives’ ‘ Throwing light on the developments made in this regard, the Prime Minister gave examples of new possibilities in agriculture and animal husbandry. He also highlighted the flourishing food-processing industry due to increased output of the land. Shri Modi also recalled laying the foundation stone of a potato processing plant a few months back. “The central government is elaborating the scope of the food processing industry. Farmers are connecting producer unions and sakhi mandals with this sector”, the Prime Minister added. Be it building a cold storage plant or a food processing plant, the government is assisting these organisations with crores of rupees, he informed. The Prime Minister said that we are moving forward with a vision where the farmer is not just the owner of the pomegranate tree but also holds a share in the juice manufacturing unit. The Prime Minister also shed light on the Sakhi Mandals that are doing commendable work today manufacturing many products from fruits and vegetables to pickles, murabbas and chutneys. He also noted that the government has also doubled the limit of bank loans available to Sakhi Mandals to further develop the industry. “Van Dhan Kendras have been opened in tribal areas so that Sakhi Mandal of tribal women can make best products from forest produce”, he added. The Prime Minister said that PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is proving of great benefit to the farmers. He also talked about the launch of Pan India common Brand name ‘Bharat’ for fertilizers for the farmers that has eliminated confusion among the farmers. He also informed that the government is making the bag of urea available to the farmers for Rs 260 while international price is more than 2000 Rs. Similarly, he expressed happiness that Banas Dairy footprint has extended to Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand. Schemes like Goabardhan, bio-fuel are enhancing the utility of livestock. “The government is continuously working to strengthen the dairy sector”, he added. The Prime Minister also mentioned the growing role of regions like Banaskantha in the country’s security. Airforce Airport in Deesa and ‘Seema-Darshan’ in Nadabet are improving the quality of life in the region. He also informed about the expansion of NCC in the border district and the special focus on the border villages under the Vibrant Border Village programme. Informing about the Smriti Van in the memory of Katch earthquake victims, the Prime Minister requested people and Banas Dairy management to encourage people to visit the memorial. “Every such work, which enhances the pride of the nation, increases the pride of Gujarat, is the commitment of the double engine government. Our strength lies with Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas”, he added. Members of Parliament, Shri Prabhatbhai Patel, Shri Bharatsinh Dhabi and Shri Dineshbhai Anavaidya, Minister from Gujarat Government, Shri Rushikesh Patel, Shri Jitubhai Chaudhary, Shri Kiritsinh Vaghela and Shri Gajendrasinh Parmar were those present on occasion among others.

Such bipartisanship augurs well for India at the world stage.” “It is our collective duty to care for the safety and well-being of our fellow citizens and the Government of India will leave no stone unturned to ensure our people do not face any troubles in adverse situations.”",ইউক্ৰেইনৰ সংকট আৰু ‘অপাৰেশ্যন গংগা’ সন্দৰ্ভত সদনত সুস্থ আলোচনা অনুষ্ঠিত কৰাৰ বাবে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ প্ৰশংসা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-interacts-with-it-and-electronic-manufacturing-professionals-on-the-occasion-of-the-launch-of-main-nahin-hum-portal-and-app/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today launched the “Main Nahin Hum” portal and app, in New Delhi. The portal, which works on the theme “Self4Society”, will enable IT professionals and organizations to bring together their efforts towards social causes, and service to society, on one platform. In doing so, the portal is expected to help catalyse greater collaboration towards the service of the weaker sections of society, especially by leveraging the benefits of technology. It is also expected to generate wider participation of interested people who are motivated to work for the benefit of society. Interacting with a wide cross-section of IT and electronic manufacturing professionals, captains of industry and technocrats on the occasion, the Prime Minister said he is sure that people want to work for others, serve society and make a positive difference. Among those who interacted with the Prime Minister today were Shri Anand Mahindra, SmtSudhaMurthy, and a number of young professionals, from India’s top IT companies. Every effort, however big or small, must be valued, the Prime Minister said, adding that Governments may have schemes and budgets but the success of any initiative lies in public involvement.Let us think about how we can use our strengths to bring a positive difference in the lives of others, the Prime Minister exhorted the gathering. The Prime Minister noted that he observes India’s youngsters leveraging the power of technology very well. He said that they are using technology not only for themselves but also for the welfare of others. He described this as a wonderful sign. Noting that there are many start-ups in the social sector, the Prime Minister wished the young social entrepreneurs well. Responding to questions in a townhall style interaction, the Prime Minister said that it is essential to step out of our comfort zone. There is so much to learn and discover, he added. IT professionals explained their efforts towards social volunteering, especially in skilling and cleanliness.In response to an observation, the Prime Minister asserted that the symbol of the Swachh Bharat Mission is the spectacles of Bapu, the inspiration is Bapu and we are fulfilling Bapu’s vision. The Prime Minister said that on many occasions, what the “Sarkar” cannot do, “Sanskar” can do. Let us make cleanliness a part of our value systems, he added. Speaking on the importance of conserving water, the Prime Minister said that in order to learn about water conservation, people should visit Porbandar in Gujarat, and see the home of Mahatma Gandhi. We need to conserve water and recycle water, he added. I appeal to my hardworking farmers to embrace drip irrigation, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said that through volunteering efforts, a lot can be done in the agriculture sector. Youngsters must venture out and work for the welfare of farmers, he added. The Prime Minister asserted that more people are paying taxes because they have faith that their money is being used properly and for the welfare of people. He said that India is making a mark in the start-up sector due to the talent of its youth. Responding to a team that is working to create rural digital entrepreneurs, the Prime Minister said that it is important to create an India where everyone has equal opportunities. The Prime Minister said doing social work should be a matter of great pride for everyone. Expressing disagreement with the trend to criticize business and industry, the Prime Minister said that this townhall programme has illustrated how leading corporates are doing excellent social work, and urging their employees to venture out and serve the people.",‘ম্যে নহী হম’ পোর্টেল আৰু এপ উদ্বোধন উপলক্ষে তথ্যপ্ৰযুক্তি তথা বৈদ্যুতিক সা-সামগ্ৰী নির্মাণৰ সৈতে জড়িত বৃত্তিধাৰীসকলৰে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ বাৰ্তালাপ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-holds-discussions-with-prime-minister-of-mauritius/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9B/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today held discussions with the Prime Minister of Mauritius Mr. Pravind Kumar Jugnauth.

In a way, I am also talking to all the teachers of the country today through you. Today, the country is paying tribute to the former President of India and educationist Dr. Radhakrishnan ji on his birth anniversary and it is our good fortune that our current President is also a teacher. In the early period of her life, she worked as a teacher and that too in the far-flung interior areas of Odisha. It is a happy coincidence for us in many ways that you have been honored by the President who was also a teacher. This is a matter of pride for you. When the country is committed to fulfill its colossal dreams of the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence, then Radhakrishnan ji’s efforts in the field of education inspire all of us. On this occasion, I congratulate all the teachers who have received national awards. These awards are given in the states too. Friends, I got an opportunity to interact with many teachers just now. Everyone speaks a different language. There may be different languages, regions and problems, but there is one thing in common and that is your efforts and your dedication towards your students. This commonality among you is very important. You must have seen that a successful teacher never discourages his students by saying that ‘it is not possible for you’. The biggest strength of a teacher is his positivity. No matter how weak a child is in his studies, the teacher will encourage him and inspire him to perform better citing someone else’s performance. These are the qualities of the teacher. He will speak positively every time. It is not in his nature to discourage anyone by making negative comments. And it is the role of a teacher which enlightens the child. The teacher sows dreams inside every child and teaches him to convert that dream into a resolution. He encourages the child that he can realize his dream if he is committed. You must have seen that child converting his dreams into resolutions and accomplishing them by walking the path shown by his teacher. That is, this entire journey from dream to accomplishment happens with the same beam of light, which a teacher had sown as a dream and lit a lamp in his life. It shows him the way even in the midst of so many challenges and darkness. Today, the country is poised at such a juncture with new dreams and resolutions that the present generation of students will chart the destiny of India in 2047. And their life is in your hands. This means that the teachers, who are going to serve for the next 10 and 20 years, will decide the future of the country in 2047. It’s not just that you work in a school, teach students in a classroom or manage a syllabus. You become part of the life of the student and groom him and work on building dreams for the country through him. A teacher with small dreams, who is only bothered about 10 to 5 job and is concerned about only four periods, may be getting salary on the first of every month, but he does not draw any pleasure and he finds all those things a burden. But when he gets attached to his students’ dreams, then nothing seems to be a burden to him. He realizes that he can make an important contribution to the country (by helping fulfill dreams of his students). Can you imagine the kind of pleasure one will get if he decides to prepare a player with a dream of him standing on the pedestal with the Tricolour. You can’t imagine the amount of pleasure that you will derive by staying awake at night (for that dream). Classroom, four-five periods and to replace a teacher if he does not come … I know your problems and that’s why I am saying this. But you should get rid of all these burdens and become attached with the lives of the children. Secondly, more than teaching and imparting knowledge to students, we need to make their lives better. See, life is not made in isolation, or in silos. A child finds himself in conflict and contradiction if he sees different things in his classroom, school premises and home environment. He is perplexed because his mother says something whereas the teacher and the rest of the class say something different. It is our duty to bring that child out of dilemma. But there is no injection or vaccine that will resolve his dilemma. Therefore, it is very important for the teachers to have an integrated approach. How many teachers are there who know the family of their students, have ever met their family and enquired from them about their children? Has somebody told the family of the student about his strength and that he can make good progress if he is paid little attention at home? ‘Being a teacher, I will not spare my efforts, but you also help me a little’. You sow a dream in the members of that family and they also become your companions. Then the home itself becomes a school of culture. The dreams that you sow in the classroom, those dreams begin to blossom in that house. You must have come across a student or two who upset you in your classroom. The moment you notice him, you get upset because you think he would spoil your time. He also has the same feeling toward you. He sits on the front row of the bench and feels that this particular teacher does not like him. Should injustice be done to those children just because of one’s likes and dislikes? A successful teacher is one who has neither likes nor dislikes with respect to his children. For him, they are all equal. I have seen teachers who have their own children in the same classroom. But those teachers treat their own children in the classroom in the same way as they treat other students. If he has to ask a question to four students, he does not favour his child. Because he knows that his child needs a good teacher besides a good mother and father. Therefore, he tries his best to maintain the teacher-student relationship in a classroom while discharging his role as a parent at home. His personal relationship with his child does not reflect in the classroom. It is only possible due to the great sacrifice of the teacher. And therefore, our education system and the traditions of India have never been limited to books. It is a kind of moral support for us. There are so many things which have been made possible due to technology. I can see that there are so many teachers in our villages who have learnt a great deal by using technology. They also realized that they could prepare something from the syllabus which could benefit their students. Those in the government are only concerned with figures – the number of teachers to be recruited, the figure of students who have dropped out or the enrolment of girl students. They are only occupied with this, whereas a teacher is concerned about the life of his students. It is a big difference. Therefore, teachers can make a huge difference if they undertake these responsibilities in a proper way. Now our National Education Policy has come in for a lot of praise. Why? I can’t claim that there would be no shortcomings. Nobody can make such a claim. But some people found merit in it and decided to adopt it. But we are so obsessed with old habits that it would not be very easy to accept the National Education Policy. Mahatma Gandhi ji was once asked by someone what he does when he is confronted with some doubts or problems. He said ‘I get a lot from the Bhagavad Gita’. This means that he read it again and again, found new meanings every time and became enlightened. Similarly, the people from the world of education should go through the National Education Policy 10-12-15 times and look for solutions. It should not be seen as a government circular only. We need to adapt it wholeheartedly. If such an attempt is made, then I am confident about the success of the policy because the teachers of our country have played an important role in formulating the National Education Policy. Lakhs of teachers have contributed in making this policy. For the first time, such a huge brainstorming has taken place in the country. It is the job of the teachers who have formulated it to see to it that it becomes useful for the children as the official language is of very little use to them. It needs to be explained to them in a very simple and lucid manner. I am of the view that students should discuss the National Education Policy in the same way as they do with theatrical experiments, essay-writing and personality competitions. Because the teachers have prepared it, but if they discuss then certainly one or two new things will emerge. This should be an endeavor. You would recall my Independence Day speech on 15th August on the completion of 75 years of independence. I spoke with 2047 in mind. And I mentioned ‘Panch Pran’ (five pledges) during my speech. Can those five pledges be discussed in classrooms? During morning assembly in schools, students and teachers can be identified who would speak on these five pledges on five different days of the week. It should continue throughout the year. What does it imply? These five pledges should be the pledges of every citizen. If we can do this then I think that these five pledges can help us create a path for our future. It should be our endeavor to see how these five pledges can become part of the life of the students. Secondly, there should not be any student in India who does not have a dream for 2047 in his mind. He should be asked how old he would be in 2047. He should be asked about his plans for himself and the country in those years. He should calculate years, months, days and hours till 2047 and tell about his plans. Immediately, a canvas would be ready before him. He would count his hours and find that 2047 is approaching with every hour passing by. He would start making plans as to how to approach 2047. If we can instill this sense among students, they will go after it with new energy and enthusiasm. Only those in the world make progress who dream big, take big resolutions and are ready to spend their entire life with foresightedness. You see before 1947, the entire country was overwhelmed with the mantra of independence for 12 years between the 1930 Dandi Yatra and the 1942 Quit India movement. Independence had become the temperament of the people in all their walks of life. We need the same temperament now for better governance and the pride of the country. I have full faith in our teachers and the people involved in the world of education. If you commit yourself to this endeavour, I am sure we can realize those dreams. Very soon, this feeling will emerge from villages. Now the country does not want to stop. You see, two days ago, we left behind those who ruled us for 250 years and moved ahead in the world of economy. This pleasure of improving ranking from the sixth largest to the fifth largest economy is special, because we have surpassed those (who ruled us). There is this special feeling of Tricolour and 15th August. This 5th ranking has come in light of the (freedom) movement for the Tricolor on 15th August (1947). This tenacity is all due to the Tricolour which is fluttering high. This temperament is very important. Therefore, we need the same temperament which existed between 1930 and 1942 which was to live for the country, to fight for the country, and if need be, to die for the country. I will not leave my country behind. We have come out of the slavery of thousands of years. There is opportunity now, we will not stop and we will continue to forge ahead. If our teachers also become part of this endeavor, then our power will increase manifold. You have won these awards after your hard work. Therefore, I am assigning more work to you. One feels like assigning work to somebody who works hard. Otherwise, who gives work to someone who does not work? I have full faith in teachers that they fulfill any responsibility which they undertake. Many best wishes to you!

This is also a symbol of rising India in a global scenario, he said. Speaking about the uniqueness of the stadium, the Prime Minister said that while other complexes are limited to only a few sports facilities, Sardar Patel Sports Complex has facilities for many sports like Football, Hockey, Basketball, Kabaddi, Boxing and Lawn Tennis. “In a way, it is a model for the whole country. When infrastructure is of this standard, the morale of the athletes also soars”, the Prime Minister added.

The soft power of sports enhances the country’s identity and image manifold.” He continued “I often tell my friends related to sports – Success starts with action! That is, the moment you start, the very moment success also starts. If you have not abandoned the spirit of moving, then victory keeps chasing you”. Highlighting the progress made in the field of sports, the Prime Minister said that 8 years ago, players from India used to participate in less than a hundred international events. On the contrary, the number of international events that players from India participate in has gone up to 300 now. “8 years ago the players of India used to go to play 20-25 games. Now players from India go to participate in about 40 different sports. Number of medals as well as India’s aura are increasing today”, the Prime Minister added. Even during the difficult period of Corona, the Prime Minister said that the morale of the sports persons was not allowed to ebb. “We worked for sports with a sports spirit. Prepared in mission mode for years through schemes like TOPS. Today, from the success of the big players to the future creation of the new players, TOPS is playing a big role.” He recalled that India gave its best Olympics performance this year at Tokyo Olympics. Similarly, the Thomas Cup victory by the badminton team brought fresh cheers. He also praised the achievement of para-athletes in various international events. He expressed happiness on the equal and strong participation of female athletes in this resurgence. The Prime Minister pointed out that this success was possible earlier but sports in India was marred by corruption and nepotism, instead of the required professionalism. “We cleaned that and raised confidence in the youth for their dreams”, he said. Remarking on the new India that does not believe only in mere policy-making, but also moves forward in tandem with the youth of the nation, the Prime Minister pointed out efforts like Fit India and Khelo India that have become a mass movement. The Prime Minister said that the sports budget of the country has increased by almost 70 per cent in the last 8 years. This has led to more and more resources being made available to the players which help in creating more and more opportunities for the players. The Prime Minister remarked that sports universities are being set up in the nation, and advanced sports infrastructures are being erected in every nook and corner of the country. Shri Modi further added that efforts are also being made to make the lives of retired players easier. Work is also being done in this direction so that the new generation can benefit from the experiences of the retiring players. Throwing light on the history of India’s civilization and culture, the Prime Minister said that Sports have been a part of India’s legacy and growth journey for thousands of years. “In the Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal, the country is reviving this tradition with pride in its heritage.” The Prime Minister further added that the efforts and enthusiasm of the country are not limited to just one sport, but Indian sports like ‘Kalaripayattu’ and Yogasan are also gaining importance. “I am glad that these games have been included in big events like National Games”, he continued. To the players who are representing these sports here, the Prime Minister said “I want to say one thing in particular. you on the one side, are carrying forward the thousands of years old tradition, while at the same time giving leadership to the future of the sports world. In the coming time when these games will get global recognition, then your name will be taken as legends in these fields.” In concluding the address, the Prime Minister spoke directly to the players and shared a mantra with them. He said, “If you want to win the competition, then you have to learn to live commitment and continuity.” Speaking of the sports spirit, the Prime Minister pointed out that defeat and victory in sports should never be considered the final outcome. Shri Modi further added that the dreams of a young country like India can be realised if the sports spirit becomes a part of your life. “You have to remember, where there is movement, there is progress”, Shri Modi added. “You have to maintain this momentum off the ground as well. This pace should be the mission of your life. I am sure, your victory in the National Games will give the nation a chance to celebrate, and will also instill new confidence in the future” the Prime Minister concluded.

Details: NCVET will regulate the functioning of entities engaged in vocational education and training, both long-term and short-term and establish minimum standards for the functioning of such entities. The primary functions of NCVET will include – recognition and regulation of awarding bodies, assessment bodies and skill related information providers; approval of qualifications developed by awarding bodies and Sector Skill Councils (SSCs); indirect regulation of vocational training institutes through awarding bodies and assessment agencies; research and information dissemination; grievance redressal. The Council would be headed by a Chairperson and will have Executive and Non-Executive Members. Since NCVET is proposed to be set up through merger of two existing bodies, the existing infrastructure and resources will be utilized for the most part. In addition, a few more posts will be created for its smooth functioning. The regulator will follow the best practices of regulatory processes, which will help ensure that it performs its functions professionally and as per the applicable laws. Benefits: This institutional reform will lead to improvement in quality and market relevance of skill development programs lending credibility to vocational education and training encouraging greater private investment and employer participation in the skills space. This in turn will help achieve the twin objectives of enhancing aspirational value of vocational education and of increasing skilled manpower furthering the Prime Minister’s agenda of making India the skill capital of the world. Being a regulator of India’s skill ecosystem, NCVET will have a positive impact on each individual who is a part of vocational education and training in the country. The idea of skill-based education will be seen in a more inspirational manner which would further encourage students to apply for skill-based educational courses. This is also expected to facilitate the ease of doing business by providing a steady supply of skilled workforce to the industry and services. Background: In an effort to realize India’s demographic dividend, its workforce needs to be equipped with employable skills and knowledge so that they can contribute to economic growth in a substantive manner. In the past, most of the country’s skill training needs were met through courses offered by the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and under the Modular Employable Scheme (MES), regulated by NCVT. Since this infrastructure was not enough to meet the increasing skill requirements of the country as well as the skilling needs of the growing workforce, the Government took a number of initiatives to scale up the skilling efforts. These efforts resulted in a large expansion of training infrastructure much of which is in the private sector. At present, there are 20 Ministries/ Departments implementing skill development programs mostly using private sector training providers. However, in the absence of adequate regulatory oversight, numerous stakeholders have been offering training programs of varying standards with multiplicity in assessment and certification systems which are not comparable, with serious consequences for the vocational training system and thus the employability of the country’s youth. An attempt towards some measure of regulation was made with the establishment of the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) in 2013, to coordinate and harmonize the skill development efforts of the government and the private sector. The primary role of NSDA has been to anchor and operationalize the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) to ensure that quality and standards meet sector specific requirements. However, a need was felt for an overarching regulatory authority which could tend to all aspects of short-term and long-term skill-based training. In view of this, NCVET is envisaged as an institution which will perform the regulatory functions so far vested in NCVT and NSDA. Regulatory functions currently being carried out by the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) through the Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) will also be housed in the NCVET.","ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বৃত্তিমূলক প্ৰশিক্ষণ পৰিষদ, এচিভিটি আৰু ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় দক্ষতা বিকাশ অভিকৰণ, এনএছডিএক একত্ৰীকৰণ কৰি ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বৃত্তিমূলক শিক্ষা আৰু প্ৰশিক্ষণ পৰিষদ, এনচিভিইটি প্ৰতিষ্ঠাত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-meeting-with-prime-minister-of-sweden/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9B%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A1%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi met H.E.

I welcome you at the launch of the Russian-Indian enterprise for production of Kalashnikov assault rifles.

Around 170 military and industrial facilities have been set up in India with assistance from our country. The new joint venture will manufacture world famous Kalashnikov assault rifles of the newest 200 series and eventually will reach full localization of production.

It is a very auspicious coincidence for India that we are assuming the responsibility of G-20 Presidency in this holy island of Bali. India and Bali have an age old relationship. Excellencies, India is taking charge of the G-20 at a time when the world is simultaneously grappling with geopolitical tensions, economic slowdown, rising food and energy prices, and the long-term ill-effects of the pandemic. At such a time, the world is looking at the G-20 with hope. Today, I want to assure that India’s G-20 presidency will be inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented. Excellencies, Over the next one year, we will strive to ensure that the G-20 acts as a global prime mover to envision new ideas and accelerate collective action. The sense of ownership over natural resources is giving rise to conflict today, and has become the main cause of the plight of the environment. For the safe future of the planet, the sense of trusteeship is the solution. LiFE i.e. ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ campaign can make a big contribution to this. Its purpose is to make sustainable lifestyles a mass movement. Excellencies, The need today is that the benefits of development are universal and all-inclusive. We have to extend the benefits of development to all human beings with compassion and solidarity. Global development is not possible without women’s participation.We have to maintain priority on women led development even in our G-20 agenda. Without peace and security, our future generations will not be able to take advantage of economic growth or technological innovation. The G-20 has to convey a strong message in favour of peace and harmony. All these priorities are fully embodied in the theme of India’s G-20 Chairmanship – “One Earth, One Family, One Future”. Excellencies, It is a proud occasion for every Indian to assume the G-20 Presidency.We will organize G-20 meetings in different cities and states of our country. Our guests will get full experience of India’s amazing diversity, inclusive traditions, and cultural richness.

This situation is not good for Indian society” “Institutions acting against the corrupt and corruption like the CVC have no need to be defensive” “When you take action with conviction, the whole nation stands with you” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi addressed the programme marking Vigilance Awareness Week of Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) in Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi today. and launched the new Complaint Management System portal of the CVC. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that Vigilance Awareness Week began with the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel. “The entire life of Sardar Patel was dedicated to honesty, transparency and the building of a public service system based on these values”, he said. The Prime Minister remarked that the campaign revolving around awareness and alertness is based on these principles. He observed that the campaign of Vigilance Awareness Week is taking place to realise the dreams and aspirations of a corruption-free India and underlined its importance in the lives of every citizen. The Prime Minister said for a developed India, trust and credibility are critical. that people’s trust in the government enhances people’s self-confidence. The Prime Minister lamented the fact that earlier governments not only lost people’s confidence but they also failed to trust people. The legacy from the long period of slavery of corruption, exploitation, and control over resources, unfortunately, received more strength after the independence. This severely harmed at least four generations of this country, he said. “We have to change this decades-long way fully in the Azadi ka Amrit Kaal”, the Prime Minister pointed out. Referring to his clarion call from the ramparts of Red Fort for a decisive battle against corruption the Prime Minister pointed out two key reasons for corruption and hindering people’s progress i.e. lack of amenities and unnecessary pressure from the government. He said for a very long time, this absence of amenities and opportunity was deliberately kept alive and a gap was allowed to widen leading to an unhealthy competition of a zero-sum race. This race fed the ecosystem of corruption. Corruption created by this scarcity affects the poor and middle classes the most. “If the poor and middle class spend their energy to arrange for the basic amenities, then how will the country progress?” the Prime Minister asked. “That is why”, the Prime Minister remarked “we are trying to change this system of scarcity and pressure for the last 8 years. The government is trying to fill the gap between supply and demand. The three ways adopted to achieve this are advancement in technology, taking basic services to the saturation level, and finally heading towards atmanirbharta.” With regard to the use of technology, the Prime Minister mentioned linking PDS to technology and removing crores of fake beneficiaries and saving more than 2 lakh crore rupees from going to the wrong hands by adopting Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Similarly, the adoption of transparent digital transactions, and transparent government procurement through GeM is making a huge difference. Speaking on taking the basic facilities to the saturation level, The Prime Minister pointed out that reaching every eligible beneficiary of any government scheme and achieving the goals of saturation puts an end to discrimination in society while eliminating the scope of corruption. Highlighting the principle of saturation that is adopted by the government for the delivery of every scheme, the Prime Minister gave examples of water connections, pucca houses, electricity connections and gas connections. The Prime Minister said that too much dependence on foreign goods has been a big cause of corruption. He highlighted the government’s push towards atmanirbharta in defence and underlined that the possibility of scams is ending as India would be manufacturing its own defence equipment, from rifles to fighter jets to transport aircrafts. Terming CVC an institution that encourages everyone’s efforts to ensure transparency, the Prime Minister recalled his request last time for ‘preventive vigilance’ and praised the efforts of CVC in that direction. He also asked the vigilance community to think about modernising their audits and inspections. “The will which the government is showing against corruption, the same will is necessary to be seen in all the departments as well. For a developed India, we have to develop such an administrative ecosystem, which has zero tolerance on corruption”, he said. The Prime Minister asked for a system where corruption-related disciplinary proceedings are completed in time-bound mission mode. He also suggested continuous monitoring of criminal cases and asked to devise a way of ranking departments on the basis of pending corruption cases and publishing the related reports on a monthly or quarterly basis. The Prime Minister also asked for streamlining of the vigilance clearance process with the help of technology. There is a need for auditing the data of public grievances so that we can go to the root causes of corruption in the concerned department, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister stressed the need to bring in common citizens in the work of keeping a vigil over corruption. “No matter how powerful the corrupt may be, they should not be saved under any circumstances, it is the responsibility of organisations like you. No corrupt person should get political-social support, every corrupt person should be put in the dock by the society, it is also necessary to create this environment”, he said. Touching upon a worrying trend, the Prime Minister said “We have seen that many times the corrupt people are glorified in spite of being jailed even after being proven to be corrupt. This situation is not good for Indian society. Even today, some people give arguments in favour of the corrupt who have been found guilty. It is very necessary for such people, such forces to be made aware of their duty by society. In this also concrete action taken by your department has a big role.” The Prime Minister emphasised that institutions acting against the corrupt and corruption like the CVC, have no need to be defensive in any way. He stressed that there is no requirement to work on any political agenda but to work towards making the lives of ordinary citizens simpler. “Those who have vested interests will try to obstruct the proceedings and defame individuals associated with these institutions”, the Prime Minister interjected, “But Janta Janardan is the form of God, they know and test the truth, and when the time comes, they stand with those in support of the truth”. The Prime Minister further urged everyone to walk the path of truth to fulfil their duties with dedication and emphasised, “when you take action with conviction, the whole nation stands with you.” Concluding the address, the Prime Minister said that the responsibility is huge and the challenges keep transforming too. “I am sure that you will continue to play a vital role in building a transparent and competitive ecosystem in Amrit Kaal”, the Prime Minister said. He stressed the need for constant dynamism in the methodology to tackle this challenge. The Prime Minister also expressed delight in interacting with the winners of the essay competition and suggested the introduction of a speech competition in the future. Observing that 4 of the 5 winners who received the essay prize for the fight against corruption were girls, the Prime Minister urged the boys to take up the mantle and rally together in this journey. “The importance of cleanliness is understood only when the dirt is eliminated,” he added. “Technology is definitely leaving a paper trail of sorts when it comes to tracking those who work outside the ambit of law”, the Prime Minister observed, and concluded by stressing the need to adopt technology as much as possible in this fight against corruption. Principal Secretary, Dr. P. K. Mishra, Minister of State for Personnel & Parliamentary Affairs, Dr. Jitendra Singh, Cabinet Secretary, Central Vigilance Commissioner, Shri Suresh N. Patel and Vigilance Commissioners Shri P K Srivastava and Shri Arvinda Kumar were those present on the occasion. Background The portal is envisioned to provide end-to-end information to the citizens through regular updates on the status of their complaints. He will also release a series of pictorial booklets on “Ethics and Good Practices”; Compilation of best practices on “Preventive Vigilance” and a Special issue “VIGEYE-VANI” on public procurement. CVC observes Vigilance Awareness Week every year to bring together all stakeholders in spreading the message of integrity in all spheres of life. This year, it is being observed from 31st October to 6th November with the theme of “Corruption-free India for a developed nation”. The Prime Minister also awarded prizes to five students who wrote the best essays during a nationwide essay competition conducted by CVC on the above theme of Vigilance Awareness Week.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে নতুন দিল্লীত সতৰ্কতা সজাগতা সপ্তাহ উপলক্ষে আয়োজিত কাৰ্যসূচীত ভাষণ দিয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-launch-of-various-developmental-projects-in-agartala-tripura/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8/,"Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Present in the program are the Governor of Tripura Shri Satyadev Narayan Arya ji, popular Chief Minister Shri Manik Saha ji, my colleague in the Union Cabinet Pratima Bhoumik ji, Speaker of the Tripura Legislative Assembly Shri Ratan Chakraborty ji, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Jishnu Dev Varma ji, my friend and MP Shri Biplab Deb ji, all respected ministers of Tripura government and my dear people of Tripura! Namaskar! Khulumakha! I am blessed to be on the land of Mata Tripura Sundari. I greet the holy land of Mata Tripura Sundari. First of all, I bow down and apologize to all of you because I am almost two hours late. I was in Meghalaya where it took longer than the scheduled time. I am told that some people have been sitting here since 11-12 o’clock. I express my heartfelt gratitude to you for the problems you faced due to the delay and you stayed back to bless me. First of all, I congratulate the people of Tripura for their efforts to launch a huge campaign related to cleanliness. You have made cleanliness a mass movement in the last five years. As a result, Tripura has emerged as the cleanest state among small states in the country this time. Friends, With the blessings of Maa Tripura Sundari, the development journey of Tripura is getting new heights today. Many congratulations to all of you for the schemes related to connectivity, skill development and houses for the poor. Today Tripura got its first Dental College. It will help the youth of Tripura to become doctors right here. Today more than two lakh poor families of Tripura are getting new pucca houses. Most of these houses are owned by our mothers and sisters. And you all know that each house has cost lakhs of rupees. There are many sisters in whose name a property has been registered for the first time. Owners of houses worth lakhs of rupees, today I congratulate all my mothers and sisters of Tripura from the land of Agartala for becoming ‘lakhpati’. Tripura is among the leading states in the country in building houses for the poor. Manik ji and his team are doing a commendable job. And we know that we get blessings for the entire life even if someone gives us shelter even for a night. Here, everyone has got a solid roof over his head. Therefore, all of us are getting abundant blessings from Tripura. And it took a while for me to come here from the airport as people in large numbers were lined up on both sides of the road to shower their blessings. The number of people on the road to bless us was probably ten times more than the people sitting here. I also greet them. As I said earlier, I attended the Golden Jubilee meeting of the North Eastern Council in Meghalaya. In this meeting, we discussed the roadmap for the development of the North East, including Tripura, for the next few years. I discussed eight points for the development of eight states of the North East in that meeting. Tripura has a double engine government. Therefore, we are ensuring that the roadmap of development picks up at a fast pace here. Friends, Before the formation of the double engine government, Tripura and the North East remained in news only for two reasons. One, when elections were held and the other time when there would be an incident of violence. Now times have changed. Today Tripura is being talked about for cleanliness, for the development of infrastructure. Lakhs of the poor are getting houses; it is being discussed. The central government is giving thousands of crores of rupees for the connectivity related infrastructure of Tripura and the government here is making it a reality by implementing it rapidly. You see how much the National Highway has expanded in Tripura in recent years. So many new villages have been connected by roads in the last five years. Now the work of connecting every village of Tripura with roads is going on at a fast pace. Tripura’s road network is going to be further strengthened by the roads whose foundation stones have been laid today. Agartala Bypass will improve the traffic system in the capital and life will be much easier. Friends, Now the North East is becoming a gateway for international trade through Tripura. The Agartala-Akhaura rail link will open a new route for trade. Similarly, the North East is also becoming a gateway for relations with other countries through road infrastructure like the India-Thailand-Myanmar Highway. With the construction of an international terminal at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala, connectivity for the country and abroad has become easier. As a result, Tripura is developing as an important logistics hub for the North East. Today, the people, especially my youth, are getting the benefit of the hard work that we have done to bring the internet to Tripura. Optical fiber has reached many panchayats of Tripura after the formation of the double engine government. Friends, The double engine government led by the BJP is laying emphasis not only on physical and digital infrastructure, but also on social infrastructure. Today, the highest priority of the BJP government is that the treatment should be available closer to home, should be affordable and accessible to everyone. The Ayushman Bharat Yojana is becoming very useful in this regard. Under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, more than 7,000 health and wellness centers have been approved in the villages of the North East and about 1,000 centers are being set up in Tripura. Thousands of patients have been screened for many serious diseases like cancer and diabetes in these centres. Similarly, thousands of poor people of Tripura have got the facility of free treatment up to Rs. 5 lakh under the Ayushman Bharat-PM Jan Arogya Yojana. Friends, Extensive work related to toilets, electricity or gas connections has been done for the first time. Now the gas grid has also been set up. The double engine government is moving fast to bring cheap piped gas to the homes of Tripura. The double engine government is also working at double speed to deliver piped water to every house. Four lakh new families of Tripura have been connected with piped water facilities in just three years. There used to be loot in the ration for the poor in Tripura before 2017. Today the double engine government is providing ration to every poor beneficiary and has also provided free ration for the last three years. Friends, The biggest beneficiaries of all such schemes are our mothers and sisters. More than one lakh pregnant mothers of Tripura have also got the benefit of the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana. Under this scheme, thousands of rupees have been directly deposited in the bank account of every mother for nutritious food. Today more and more deliveries are taking place in hospitals, saving the lives of both mother and child. The way the government here is taking steps to make the sisters and daughters self-reliant in Tripura is also very praiseworthy. I have been told that the government has given a special package worth hundreds of crores of rupees for the employment of women. The number of women self help groups in Tripura has increased nine times since the formation of the double engine government. Brothers and sisters, For decades, Tripura has been ruled by parties whose ideology has lost importance and who practice politics of opportunism. They deprived Tripura of development. The resources that Tripura had were used for their own interests. Due to this, the poor, the youth, the farmers and my mothers and sisters suffered the most. This kind of ideology and mentality cannot benefit the public. They only know how to spread negativity. They do not have any positive agenda. This double engine government has the resolve as well as a positive blueprint for achievement. The pessimists drive in reverse gear when the accelerator is needed in Tripura. Friends, This politics of power has caused great harm to our tribal society. Tribal society and tribal areas were deprived of development. The BJP has changed this politics. This is the reason why today BJP is the first choice of the tribal society. Elections have just been held in Gujarat. Behind the massive victory of the BJP in Gujarat even after 27 years being in power has a huge contribution from the tribal society. The BJP won 24 of the 27 seats reserved for tribal communities. Friends, Atal (Bihari Vajpayee) ji’s government made a separate ministry and created a separate budget for the tribal communities for the first time. Ever since you have given us the opportunity (to form a government) in Delhi, we have given priority to every issue related to the tribal community. The budget for the tribal community has been increased from 21,000 crore rupees to 88,000 crore rupees. Similarly, the scholarship of tribal students has also been more than doubled. It has also benefited the tribal society of Tripura. While there were less than 100 Eklavya Model Schools in tribal areas before 2014, today this number is nearing more than 500. More than 20 such schools have been approved for Tripura as well. Earlier governments used to give MSP only on 8-10 forest products. The BJP government is giving MSP on 90 forest produce. Today, there are more than 50,000 Van Dhan Kendras in tribal areas which have ensured employment to about 9 lakh tribals and most of them are our sisters. It is the BJP government which has facilitated the trade of bamboo to the tribal society. Friends, It is the BJP government which has realized the importance of ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’ (Tribal Pride Day) for the first time. The BJP government started celebrating the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda on November 15 as ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’ across the country. The contribution of the tribal community in the country’s independence is also being taken forward in the country and the world today. Today, 10 Tribal Freedom Fighter Museums are being set up across the country. Recently, the President Smt. Draupadi Murmu ji also laid the foundation stone of Maharaja Birendra Kishore Manikya Museum and Cultural Centre in Tripura. The Tripura government is also making constant efforts to promote tribal contribution and culture. The BJP government has also got the privilege of honouring the personalities who have taken forward the tribal art and culture of Tripura with Padma awards. It is due to many such initiatives that the tribal community in the entire country, including Tripura, has maximum faith in the BJP. Brothers and sisters, It is the endeavor of the double engine government that Tripura’s small farmers and small entrepreneurs get the best opportunities. Efforts are being made to make the local products global. Today the pineapple of Tripura is reaching global markets. Hundreds of metric tonnes of other fruits and vegetables have also been exported from here to Bangladesh, Germany and Dubai. As a result, farmers are getting higher prices for their produce. Lakhs of farmers of Tripura have received more than Rs 500 crore so far from the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. The way the BJP government is strengthening the Agar wood industry in Tripura, meaningful results will be visible in the coming years. It will lead to the youth of Tripura getting new opportunities and a new means of earning. Friends, Importantly, Tripura is now on the path of peace and development. Now the double engine of development is showing results in Tripura. I have full faith in the capability of the people of Tripura. We will speed up the pace of development. With this belief, I once again congratulate and offer my best wishes to the people of Tripura for the schemes that have been either inaugurated or whose foundation stone has been laid today for the bright future of Tripura. Thank you very much with the expectation that Tripura will achieve new heights in the near future. Bharat Mata ki – Jai!

I begin ‘Mann Ki Baat’ today with a heavy heart. 10 days ago, Mother India had to bear the loss of many of her valiant sons. These brave hearts made the supreme sacrifice in securing the lives of a hundred & twenty five crore Indians. In order to ensure that their fellow countrymen could sleep peacefully, these brave sons toiled relentlessly, day or night. As a consequence of the Pulwama terror attack and the sacrifice of the brave jawans, people across the country are agonized and enraged. All around, there is a deluge of strong feelings of sympathy for the martyrs & their family members. The outrage that singes your being and mine on account of the terrorizing violence replicates itself in the collective inner psyche’ of every citizen of the country; it also echoes in pro-humanity communities of the world, which sincerely believe in humanity. I respectfully bow to all the brave sons of the country, who laid down their lives, protecting the honour of their motherland, India. This martyrdom will keep inspiring us relentlessly to uproot the very base of terrorism; it will fortify our resolve. We shall have to take up this challenge facing our country, forgetting all barriers of casteism, communalism, regionalism and other difference, so that, our steps against terror are firmer, stronger and more decisive. Our armed forces have consistently displayed unparalleled courage and valour. On the one hand, they have displayed exemplary capabilities in restoring peace; on the other, they have retaliated in equal measure, in a language the attackers understand. You must have seen how within a hundred hours of the attack, retributive action was accomplished. The Army has resolved to wipe out terrorists and their harbourers. The martyrdom of these brave soldiers brought to the fore, through the media, touching, inspiring stories of their kin, whichgive hope and strength to the entire country. The fortitude displayed by Ram Niranjanji, father of Martyr Ratan Thakur of Bhagalpur, Bihar, in this moment of tribulation is truly inspiring. He has expressed the wish of sending his second son too, to take on the enemy; if need be, he himself would go and fight. The country salutes the indomitable courage of Meenaji, wife of Martyr PrasannaSahu of Jagatsinghpur, Odisha. She has vowed to send her only son to join the CRPF. When the mortal remains of Martyr Vijay Soren, draped in the tricolor reached Gumla, Jharkhand, his innocent son iterated that he too would join the armed forces. The mettle of this innocent lad is a representative sample of the feelings of each &every child of the Nation today. Similar sentiments are coming to the fore in the households of our brave heart martyrs. No martyr, no family is an exception to that. Whether it be the family of Martyr Vijay Maurya of Devariya, the parents of Martyr Tilakraj of Kangra or the six year old son of Martyr Hemraj of Kota – the story of every family of martyrs is full of inspiration. I urge the young generation to know and understand the fortitude and the sentiment displayed by these families. To understand the virtues of patriotism, sacrifice and perseverance, one doesn’t need to revert to historical events. These are but living examples before your eyes… these very examples are a source of inspiration for the future of a rising & glowing India. My dear countrymen, the rather long wait after Independence for a War Memorial is about to be over. It is natural for our countrymen to be curious about it. On the Narendra Modi App, Shri Onkar Shetty ji of Udupi, Karnataka has expressed his happiness on the completion of the National War Memorial. India not having a National War Memorial used to surprise me, pain me… a Memorial that would house the valour saga series of our brave soldiers who laid down their lives, safe guarding their nation’s security. And I took a resolve that the country must have such a Memorial. We decided to erect the National War Memorial and I am contented to see it attaining completion in so little a time. Tomorrow, that is on the 25th of February, crores of we Indians will dedicate this National Soldiers’ Memorial to our Armed Forces. On part of the nation, this will be a small step towards repaying a great debt. This new memorial has been instituted in the heart of Delhi, in close vicinity of India Gate and Amar JawanJyoti. I do believe that for our countrymen a visit to the National War Memorial will be akin to a pilgrimage to a holy place. The National Soldiers’ Memorial is a symbol of the nation’s gratitude to those men who made the supreme sacrifice after we gained Independence. The Memorial’s design symbolises the indomitable courage of our immortal soldiers. The concept of the National Soldiers’ Memorial is based on the notion of four concentric circles, which depicts the journey of a soldier from coming into being, culminating in his martyrdom. The flame of the Amar Chakra symbolizes the immortality of the martyred soldier. The second circle, Veerta Chakra, depicts the courage and bravery of our soldiers. It is a gallery whose walls are inscribed with soldiers’ tales of valour. This is followed by the Tyag Chakra. This circle stands for the sacrifice of our soldiers. This bears the names of soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice, in letters of gold. Following that is the Rakshak Chakra which depicts the spirit of security. This circle houses a row of dense trees. These trees represent soldiers and send a reassuring message to the country’s citizens that our soldiers vigilantly guard borders round the clock and that they, the citizens are safe. If you take a holistic view, the National Soldiers’ Memorial is sure to turn out to be a sacred site, where people will throng, to get information on our great martyrs, to express their gratitude, to conduct further research on them. This place stands testimony to a series of sacrifices of men who laid down their lives for the sake of their country, so that we could live, so that the country could be safe & secure, paving the way for development. One falls short of words in assessing the enormous contribution of our Armed Forces, Police and Para Military Forces in the strides of progress achieved by the country. In the month of Octoberlast year, I was blessed with the opportunity to dedicate the National Police Memorial to the nation. That too echoed the same sentiment, and we believe that we should be ever grateful to those policemen & police women, who relentlessly ensure our safety & security. I do hope that you will pay a visit to the National Soldiers’ Memorial and the National Police Memorial. Whenever you are there, do capture images and share them on social media so that others get inspired to come & visit this sacred site with eagerness. My dear countrymen, for ‘Mann Ki Baat’, I keep getting thousands of letters and comments from your side, on various platforms. Once while I was going through your comments, I came across an interesting point by AtishMukhopadhyayji. He has written that on the 3rd of March, 1900, the British arrested BirsaMunda, when he was just 25 years old. Coincidentally, the 3rd of March is also the birth anniversary of Jamsetji Tata. He further states that despite both personalities hailing from diverse family backgrounds, they enriched the legacy and the history of Jharkhand. Paying tributes to BirsaMunda and Jamsetji Tata is, in a way, salutation to the glorious legacy and history of Jharkhand. These two distinguished personalities brought glory &honour not just to Jharkhand, but the entire country. The country is indeed grateful for their contribution. Today, if an inspiring personality is required for ably guiding our youth, it certainly is that of BhagwanBirsaMunda. The British tree treacherously arrested him when he was asleep, in a covert manner. Do you know why they had to resort to such a cowardly operation? Because even the British who raised a mighty empire used to be terrified of him. BhagwanBirsaMunda took on the might of the guns & cannons of the British, using traditional bows and arrows, to shake them apart. The fact is, when people are blessed with exemplary leadership, the might of arms pales in comparison to the collective will power of the people. BhagwanBirsaMunda not only waged a struggle against the British for political freedom; he also actively fought for the social & economic rights of the tribal folk. And he accomplished all this in his rather short life. He let sunshine peep into the darkened lives of the deprived and the oppressed. BhagwanBirsaMunda sacrificed his life at the tender age of twenty five. Illustrious sons of Mother India, such as BirsaMunda have come into being in each & every part of the country. There must’ve been hardly any part of India, which did not produce someone who contributed in the long freedom struggle,that spanned centuries. But it’s a misfortune that these tales of valour and sacrifice did not reach the new generations. If the valourousBhagwanBirsaMunda made us aware of our existence & identity, far-sightedJamsetji Tata created great institutions for the country. Jamsetji Tata was a true visionary, who not only foresaw India’s future, but also duly laid strong foundations. He knew very well that making India a hub of science, technology and industry was imperative for her future. It was his vision that culminated in the establishment of the Tata Institute of Science, which we know as Indian Institute of Science today. Not just that, he also established world renowned institutions and industries such as Tata Steel. On a voyage to America, Jamsetji Tata met Swami Vivekananda on the ship, and an important topic of their discussion was the outreach & spread of Science & Technology in India. It is said… this very discussion led to the founding of the Indian Institute of Science. My dear countrymen, our former Prime Minister Morarji Desai was born on the 29th of February. All of you know that this day comes just once in four years. A simple, peace loving personality, Morarjibhai was one of the most disciplined leaders. In Independent India, the record of presenting the budget the maximum number of times is held by Morarjibhai Desai. Morarji Desai steered the course of the country through some difficult times, when the very democratic fabric of the country was under a threat. To save democracy, Morarji Desai flung himself in the movement against imposition of Emergency.For this, he had to pay a heavy price in his old age. The government of that time arrested and incarcerated him. But when the Janata Party won the general elections in 1977, he became the Prime Minister of the country. During his tenure, the 44th constitutional amendment was introduced. This was important because the 42nd amendment which was brought during the emergency, curtailed the powers of the Supreme Court and implemented provisions which stood to violate our democratic values, was struck down. The 44th amendment, made it mandatory that the proceedings of Parliament and Legislative Assemblies were made public through the newspapers. This amendment, restored certain powers of Supreme Court and declared that the fundamental rights granted under Article 20 and 21 of the Constitution could not be abrogated during the Emergency. For the first time constitutional safeguards guaranteed that the President could only announce the emergency upon the written recommendation of the Cabinet, and that the period of emergency could not be extended more than six months at any stretch of time. In this way, Morarji Bhai ensured that the way democracy was assassinated in 1975 by imposition of emergency, could never be repeated againin the future. Theupcoming generations of our nation will always remember his priceless contribution in maintaining the sanctity of Indian democracy. Once again I pay my homage to a great leader like him. My beloved countrymen, this year too, there was a great buzz about the Padma award. Today as we head towards a new India, in which we want to honour those who are doing their work at the grass-root level without any care for a reward. They, by their diligence, are powering positive changes in the lives of others in myriad ways. In reality they are true ‘Karmyogis,’ who are selflessly engaged in public service, social service and, above all, in the service to the nation. You must have been a witness yourself to the curiosity in the air when the Padma awards are announced, and people are inquisitive about the awardees. In a way, I consider this to be a huge pat on the back because these are people who are not on the front page of a Magazine or Newspaper or on our TV screens. They are far removed from the world of glitter and glare, and are people who do not care about name or fame but simply believe in toiling at the proletarian level. Theybelieve in living in the manner as preached by the shloka of Srimadbhagvad Gita ‘Yoga: KarmasuKaushalam’, or excellence in action is yoga. I would like to tell you about some of these people. You must have heard about Odisha’s DaitariNayak, who is not nicknamed the ‘Canal Man of Odisha’ for nothing, DaitariNayakchiselled through the mountain literally with his hands and carved a three kilometers long canal in his village, and put to restforever the problem of irrigation and water by the sheer dint of his labour. Take the case of Abdul Ghafoor Khatri of Gujarat, whohas done an amazing job of reviving the traditional Rogan painting form of Kutch. He is doing a great job of extending this rare painting art form to the present generation. I had gifted a Roganpainting titled ‘Tree of Life’ done by Abdul Gafoor, to the former President of USA, Mr. Barack Obama. Among the recipients of the Padma award, ShabbirSayyed of Marathwada is known as the servant of Gau-Mata. The manner he has spent his entire life in the service of Gau-mata, is unique in itself. Madurai Chinna Pillai is the same person who at first tried to empower the downtrodden and the exploited through the Kalanjiyam movement in Tamil Nadu and initiated community based microfinancing. America’s Tao Porchon-Lynch will leave you astounded, Lynch has become a living institution of yoga today. Even at the age of 100, she is training yoga to people from all over the world and till now has trained 1500as yoga teachers. JamunaTudu, famous nicknamed ‘Lady Tarzan’ in Jharkhand, most valiantly took on the Timber Mafia and Naxalites, and not only saved the 50 hectares of forest but also inspired ten thousand women to unite and protect the trees and wildlife. It is a tribute to Jamunaji’s diligence that today, on the birth of every child,villagersplant 18 trees. Also, 10 trees are planted on the marriage of a girl in the village. The story of MuktabenPankajkumarDagali of Gujarat will fill you with inspiration despite being a divyang herself, it is difficult to find an example than what Muktaben did for the upliftment of divyang women by establishing the institution named ChakshuMahilaSevakunj, through the medium of which she has been engaged in a virtuousendeavour to make visually challenged children self-reliant. The story of ‘KisanChachi’, i.e. ‘Farmer Aunty’ of Muzaffarpur in Bihar, or Rajkumari Devi is very inspiring. She has established a precedent in the direction of women empowerment and farming. Rajkumari Deviadded 300 women of her area to a ‘Self Help Group’ and motivated the entire lot become financially self-reliant. She not only trained the women of the village in pursuing other gainful means of employment, but most importantly she integrated technology with agricultureand my dear countrymen, it has perhaps happenedfor the first time, that in the roll of Padma awards bestowed this year, 12 farmers have been the recipients. Generally, very few people associated with the agricultural world or those very few who can be labeled as real farmers have ever found their name in the list of Padmashree awards. This in itself presents the live and vibrant image of a changing India. My dear countrymen, today I wish to narrate a heart rending experience with you which I’ve beenwanting to do past few days. At present, whenever I’m touring, it is my sincere effort to meet people beneficiaries of ‘PMJAY’ scheme under Ayushman Bharat’s umbrella. ‘PMJAY’ means to some of the beneficiaries, like the single mother whose unable to set her small children treated due to lack of money or the head of the family who was sustaining his family by the sweat of his brow and met with an accident and was unable to work, he too has benefitted due to this scheme, regained his health and is virtually living a new life! Brothers and Sisters, about 12 lakhimpoverished families have benefitted from this scheme over a period of last five months. I have found that it brings about a transformation in the life of the have-nots. If you know a poor person who is unable to procure treatment due to lack of money, do inform him about this scheme. In fact this scheme is meant for the benefit of such underprivileged people. My dear countrymen, exam time in schools throughout the nation is soon going to dawn upon us. In the next few weeks various education boards across the country will initiate the process for the board examinations of the tenth and twelfth standards. My best wishes to all the students who’re going to appear for their examinations, their parents and all the teachers as well. A few weeks ago, an immense event entitled ‘ParikshaPeCharcha’ was organised in Delhi in the format of a Town Hall programme. In this Town Hall programme, I had the opportunity to talk with crores of students from India and abroad, and also with their parents and teachers; a possibility through the aegis of technology. One of the focal points of ‘ParikshaPeCharcha’ was that there were lively interactions on various topics related with the entire process of examinations. There are many such aspects which emerged out of these discussions which are definitely going to be beneficial for the students. All the students, their teachers and parents can watch the recording of this entire event on YouTube, and I take this opportunity to wish all the best to all my’exam warriors’, for their upcoming examinations. My dear countrymen, no mention of India can be complete without citing its festivals. It is just not possible that a day passes without any significance associated with it, or does not herald a festival! Our culture has a continuum spread over many millennia and it is a part of our heritage. In a few days from now, Mahashivrartri will be celebrated, and that too on a Monday, and when a Shivratri falls on a Monday, it becomes all that special in our heart of our hearts! I extend felicitations on this pious occasion of Mahashivratri to you all. My dear countrymen, some days ago I went to Kashi and there I got a chance to spend time with my divyang brothers and sisters. Many topics were discussed in their company and their confidence was really striking –it was inspiring. During the conversation with one of them, a visually challenged young man, and he mentioned that he happened to be a stage artist, and specialized in mimicry during entertainment programs, so just like that I asked him as to who all he could imitate! And he told me that he could mimic the Prime Minister. So I requested a demonstration and a pleasant surprise was in store for me. He mimicked the very exact way I converse with you during ‘Mann KiBaat’. I was very happy to hear that people not only listen to ‘Mann KI Baat’ but also remember it on many occasions. I was really impressed with the prowess of that divyang young man. My dear countrymen, connecting with all of you, courtesy the ‘Mann KiBaat’ program has been a really wonderful experience for me. Through radio I connect every month with millions of families. Many times while conversing with you, reading your letters or listening to your thoughts sent on the phone, I feel that you have adopted me as part of your family. This has been a very sublime experience for me. Friends, elections are the biggest celebration of democracy. In the next two months, we will be busy in the hurly-burly of the general elections. I myself will also be a candidate during this election. In maintainingrespect for healthy democratic traditions, the next episode of ‘Mann KiBaat’ will be broadcast on the last Sunday of the month of May. This means I shall take up our thoughts and ideas accumulated over the three months of March, April & entire May after the Elections, with confidence anew. With the power of your blessings, once again I shall begin this series of conversations through ‘Mann Ki Baat’… and shall keep doing ‘Mann Ki Baat’ with you for years. Once again, I thank all of you from the core of my heart.",২৪.০২.২০১৯ তাৰিখে সম্প্ৰচাৰিত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ‘মন কী বাত’ৰ ৫৩তম খণ্ডৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/visit-of-prime-minister-of-czech-republic-to-india-to-attend-vibrant-gujarat-summit-2019/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF-2/,"Prime Minister of the Czech Republic H.E. Mr. Andrej Babis is on official visit to India from 17-19 January, 2019. He is accompanied by the Minister of Trade and Industry Ms. Marta Novakova and a large business delegation. PM Babis is leading the Czech delegation at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2019, with Czech Republic as a partner country. PM Modi and PM Babis held a bilateral meeting on 18 January on the sidelines of the Summit. The entire gamut of bilateral relations including important global and regional issues of mutual interest was discussed during the talks. Hailing the visionary leadership of PM Modi, the Czech PM appreciated the rapid growth of Indian economy and huge opportunities for enhancing bilateral trade & investment relations. PM Babis recalled visit of the President of India to Czech Republic in September last year when several MoUs for bilateral cooperation were signed. Czech Republic has cutting edge manufacturing technologies in heavy machinery and precision engineering. PM Modi invited Czech companies to take advantage of huge opportunities that the Indian market offered for manufacturing in India especially in defense, automotive and railway sectors. Czech PM invited nomination of an Indian scientist for its prestigious Research & Development Council which hosts several international researchers of high repute and is headed by the Prime Minister himself. The two Prime Ministers appreciated traditionally warm bilateral relationship and decided to take required steps to take our ties to a higher level. During the visit, PM Babis will call on the President of India in New Delhi on 19 January. He is also scheduled to visit Pune for visiting some Czech companies and inaugurating a Center for European Studies at Symbiosis University in Pune.",ভাইব্ৰেণ্ট গুজৰাট সন্মিলনত অংশগ্ৰহণৰ উদ্দেশ্যে চেক গণৰাজ্যৰ প্ৰধানমন্ত্রীৰ ভাৰত ভ্ৰমণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-press-statement-during-the-visit-of-the-prime-minister-of-netherlands-to-india/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%9B%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D/,"Your Excellency, Prime Minister & my friend, Mark Rutte, Distinguished Delegates, Members of the Media, Friends, Heartiest welcome to Prime Minister Mark and his delegation in India. I am particularly pleased that with Prime Minister Mark, his four Cabinet colleagues, the Mayor of the Hague and more than 200 business representatives have also come to India. This is the largest business delegation to have come to India from Netherlands. And it clearly shows how much dynamism is there in our trade and investment relationship. So many possibilities are there. Prime Minister Rutte first came to India in 2015. I visited Netherlands in 2017 and today this was our third summit meeting. There are very few such countries, with whom we have this kind of momentum of high level visits in our relationships. And for this momentum and for giving personal priority to the relations with India, I congratulate my friend Mark from the bottom of my heart. Friends, Today, both of us reviewed the progress in our bilateral relations. And shared our own assessments of regional and global developments. And we also met the prominent CEOs of both the countries. Last year when I went to Netherlands, I had urged my friend Mark to think positively on becoming a member of the International Solar Alliance. The expertise, the technology and the experience which Netherlands has in the field of solar power, whole world should benefit from it. And I am happy that today Netherlands has become a member of the International Solar Alliance. I express my gratitude to Prime Minister Rutte for this decision. From UN Security Council to Multilateral Export Control Regimes, India and Netherlands have had very good and close cooperation and coordination. And now International Solar Alliance will be a new dimension of our strong cooperation in international forums. Friends, India is not new to Dutch companies. Hundreds of Dutch companies have been working in India for many years. So far Netherlands is the fifth largest source for total foreign direct investment in India and in the past few years it has emerged as the third largest source. Similarly, Netherlands is also a very attractive destination for investment by Indian companies. And therefore, meeting with the CEOs of both the countries is very useful. I am happy that the business community in Netherlands is enthusiastic about opportunities being created in India. I have also assured them of my strong commitment towards economic reforms in India. Areas related to agriculture and food processing are particularly important for India. These topics are connected with our Food Security and at the same time, it is also important for our goal of doubling the income of the farmers of India. Netherlands has expertise in these areas. Last year Netherlands participated as the Focus Country in World Food India Summit. And I believe that in its next edition in 2019, participation of the Netherlands will be even more. I am happy that the first Indo-Dutch Center of Excellence for vegetables has started in Baramati. We are working together on other similar types of centers as well. Similarly, our cooperation in urban development is also very dynamic. Waste Water Management projects in Vadodara and Delhi are making good progress. We are completing 10 years of cooperation in Science & Technology, and this successful partnership will be further strengthened by participation of Netherlands as a Partner Country in the Tech Summit, which will be held in India in 2019. Friends, Providing special attention to the issues of Indian society living abroad has been a major priority of my government’s foreign policy. I specifically thank Prime Minister Rutte and the Government of Netherlands for the assistance in safe extraction of Indian nationals at the time of hurricane that came in Sint Maarten in September 2017. Excellency, Once again I very warmly welcome you and your delegation in India. Thank you, Many Many Thanks.","নেদালেণ্ডছৰ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাৰত ভ্ৰমণকালত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ প্ৰেছ বিবৃতি(২৪ মে’, ২০১৮)" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-webinar-on-positive-impact-of-union-budget-2022-in-agriculture-sector/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8/,"Namaskar! My colleagues in the cabinet, representatives of state governments, all colleagues from industry and academia, all our farmer brothers and sisters associated with Krishi Vigyan Kendras, ladies and gentlemen! It is a pleasant coincidence that the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi was launched on this day three years ago. Today this scheme has emerged as a big support for the small farmers of the country. Under this scheme, about 1.45 lakh crore rupees has been given to 11 crore farmers of the country. We can experience smartness in this scheme also. Direct money transfer in the bank accounts of 10-12 crore farmers with just one click in itself is a matter of pride for any Indian. Friends, In the last seven years, we have developed many new systems related to providing seeds and ensuring markets and have improved the old systems. The agricultural budget has increased manifold in six years. Agricultural loans for farmers have also been increased by 2.5 times in the last seven years. We have connected three crore small farmers with the facility of KCC by running a special drive even during the difficult times of Corona. This facility has also been extended to farmers associated with animal husbandry and fisheries. Small farmers are also benefiting from the growing network of micro-irrigation. Friends, As a result of these efforts, farmers are creating record production every year and new records of procurement at MSP are being made. Due to the promotion of organic farming, the market for organic products is now worth 11,000 crore rupees. Its exports have also grown from 2,000 crore rupees to more than 7,000 crore rupees in six years. Friends, This year’s Agriculture Budget continues the efforts of the previous years and also amplifies them. Seven main ways have been suggested in this year’s budget to make agriculture modern and smart. First- The target is to promote natural farming on mission mode within a radius of 5 km on both the banks of the Ganges. Emphasis is being laid on herbal medicine and fruits and flowers. Second- Farmers will be provided with modern technology in agriculture and horticulture. Third – In order to reduce the import of edible oil, this year’s budget lays special emphasis on strengthening the Mission Oil Palm as well as oilseeds. The fourth goal is to provide new logistics arrangements for the transportation of agricultural products under the PM GatiShakti plan. The fifth solution that has been offered in the budget is that agri-waste management will be organized further and the income of farmers will be increased through measures like waste to energy. The sixth solution is that more than 1.5 lakh post offices of the country will get facilities of regular banks, so that farmers do not face any problem. And seventh is that skill development and human resource development in the syllabus related to agri research and education will be changed according to today’s modern times. Friends, Health awareness is increasing in the world today. Awareness about an environment-friendly lifestyle is increasing. More and more people are getting attracted to it. This means that its market is also growing. We can try to capture the market with the help of natural farming and organic farming. Our Krishi Vigyan Kendras and agriculture universities will have to mobilize with full force to take the benefits of natural farming to the masses. Each of our KVKs can adopt a village. Each of our agriculture universities can target to introduce 100 or 500 farmers towards natural farming within the next year. Friends, Nowadays, another trend is visible in our middle and upper-middle-class families. It is often seen that many new things have reached their dining table. Many protein and calcium products are now on their dining table. Many such products are from abroad and they are not even according to Indian taste. All these products are available here that our farmers produce, but we are not able to present in the right way and market them. Therefore, we should attempt to prioritize ‘Vocal for Local’ in it also. Such products are found in abundance in Indian food and crops and it is also according to our taste. The problem is that we do not have that much awareness here, many people do not even know about it. We also have to pay attention to promoting and propagating Indian food. We have seen that the attraction towards spices and turmeric has grown a lot during the Corona period. The year 2023 is the International Year of Millets. Our corporate world should come forward in branding and promoting India’s millets. Our missions abroad should organize seminars in respective countries and explain to the people there and importers regarding the importance of our millets and coarse grains and how tasty these are. We can use our missions and organize seminars and webinars with importers and exporters regarding millets. We can stress the high nutritional value of millets in India. Friends, You must have noticed our government has laid greater emphasis on Soil Health Cards. The government has provided soil health cards to crores of farmers of the country. Just as there was a time when there was no pathology lab and hence nobody used to get pathology tests done, but now if there is any disease, pathology tests are done first and one has to go to a pathology lab. Can our start-ups and private investors guide our farmers in testing soil samples like it is done in private pathology labs? There should be continuous testing of soil health. And if we develop this habit among our farmers then even small farmers will definitely get soil tests done once every year. An entire network of such soil testing labs can be created. New equipment can be developed. I think there is a huge scope in this sphere and start-ups should come forward. We also need to increase this awareness among the farmers so that they should get the soil of their fields tested every one or two years. They will get scientific knowledge regarding the use of pesticides and fertilizers for different crops. You must be aware that our young scientists have developed nano fertilizer. This is going to be a game-changer. Our corporate world has a lot of potential in this field too. Friends, Micro-irrigation is also a great means of reducing input costs and producing more yields and is also a service to the environment. Saving water is also an important responsibility for mankind today. The government has put a lot of emphasis on ‘Per Drop More Crop’ and this is also the need of the hour. There is also a lot of potential for the business world in this field. Now you all know very well the changes that will come in Bundelkhand as a result of the Ken-Betwa link project. The agricultural irrigation schemes which have been stuck in the country for decades should also be completed expeditiously. Friends, We have to achieve the target of increasing edible oil production to about 50 percent more in the next 3-4 years. There is a lot of potential in expanding the cultivation of oil palm under the National Mission on Edible Oil and we need to move forward in a big way in the sphere of oilseeds also. Our agri-investors should also come forward to promote crop diversification for crop patterns. Importers know the kind of machines needed in India. They know what all things will be useful here. In the same way, we should have information about crops here. Take the example of oilseeds and pulses which have high demand in the country. Our corporate world should come forward in this regard. This is like an assured market for you. What is the need for its imports? You can tell the farmers in advance about your purchase requirements. Now that the system of insurance is in place, you are getting security due to insurance as well. There should be a study of the food requirements of India, and we should all work together to produce those things which are required in India. Friends, Artificial Intelligence is going to completely change the trade related to agriculture and farming in the 21st century. The greater use of Kisan Drones in the country’s agriculture is part of this change. Drone technology will be available on a scale only when we promote agri start-ups. More than 700 Agri Start-ups have been created in the country in the last three-four years. Friends, A lot of work has been done on Post-Harvest Management in the last seven years. It has been a constant effort of the Central Government to expand the scope of processed food and our quality should be of international standard. Along with the Kisan Sampada Yojana, the PLI scheme is also important in this regard. The value chain also has a big role in it. Therefore, a special Agriculture Infrastructure Fund of Rs one lakh crore has been created. Just a few days back, India has signed many important agreements with the UAE, Gulf countries and Abu Dhabi. Many important decisions have also been made in these agreements to increase cooperation in food processing. Friends, The management of ‘Parali’ or agri-residue is equally important. In this regard, new measures have been taken in this year’s budget, which will also help in the reduction of carbon emission and farmers will also make income. The scientists and people with technology bent should ensure that no waste of the agricultural world should be frittered away and every waste should be converted into the best. We should think carefully and introduce new things. It would be easier for the farmers to accept the solutions we are proposing regarding the management of stubble. It should be discussed. Post-Harvesting Waste is a big challenge for our farmers. The farmers will also become our active partners once we convert the waste into the best. Therefore, it is very important to keep expanding and promoting the systems of logistics and storage. The government is doing a lot in this regard, but our private sector should also step up its contribution in this sector. And I would also request the banking sector to come forward regarding priority lending, setting targets and their monitoring. If banks provide funds, then small-scale private businessmen will also come into this sector in a large number. I would ask the private players involved in the agriculture sector to prioritize it. Friends, Innovation and packaging in agriculture are two areas that need more attention. Consumerism is on the rise in the world today, so packaging and branding are of great importance. Our corporate houses and agri start-ups should come forward in large numbers in fruit packaging. They should also pay attention to how best packaging can be done with the agri-waste. They should help the farmers in this regard and plan accordingly. India has huge potential for investment in food processing and ethanol. The government is aiming for a 20% blending of ethanol and there is an assured market for it. Before 2014, when 1-2 percent ethanol blending was done, now it has reached around 8 percent. The government is giving a lot of incentives to increase ethanol blending. Our business houses should come forward in this field. Natural juices are another issue and their packaging is of great importance. There is a need to work on packaging so that the product has a long shelf life, because we have a variety of fruits and natural juices. Instead of copying other countries, we should promote and popularize local natural juices. Friends, The cooperative sector is another issue. India’s cooperative sector is very old and vibrant. The participation of the cooperative sector is huge, be it in sugar mills, fertilizer factories, dairies, loan arrangements and purchase of food grains. Our government has also created a new ministry in this regard and the main reason behind this is to help the farmers as much as possible. Our cooperative sector has a lot of scope to create a vibrant business entity. You should aim to turn cooperatives into successful business enterprises. Friends, I would also request our micro-financing institutions to come forward and provide maximum financial support to agri start-ups and Farmers Producers Organizations (FPOs). You can play a big role in reducing the expenditure on farming of small farmers in our country. For example, our small farmers cannot buy modern equipment used in farming. From where will the small farmers buy such equipment? They are also not getting farm labourers. Can we think of a new way of pooling in this regard? Our corporate world should come forward and develop such systems, which facilitate the rental of farm equipment. Our government is running a big campaign to make farmers energy donors as well as food donors. Solar pumps are being distributed to farmers across the country. We will have to step up efforts so that our farmers can generate maximum solar power from their fields. Similarly, it is regarding the ‘Medh par Pedh’, trees on the boundary of the field. Today we import timber. If we encourage our farmers to grow timber in a scientific way, it can become a new source of income for them after 10-20 years. The government will also make necessary legal changes to it. Friends, Increasing the income of the farmers, reducing the cost of farming, providing modern facilities to the farmers from seed to market is the priority of our government. I am sure your suggestions will give strength to the efforts of the government in realizing the dreams of our farmers. Today we want to debate the next generation of agriculture and want to come out of the traditional methods. The seminar should deliberate how best we can do in the light of the provisions made in the budget. We should start working from April 1 when the new budget will be implemented. We have the entire month of March. The budget has already been placed before Parliament. Without wasting any time, we should make all the preparations in March so that the farmers can start the new year of farming in June-July. Our corporate and financial worlds, the start-ups and those from the technology world should come forward. India is an agricultural country, and therefore, we should not import anything and develop everything according to the needs of the country. I believe that if we can bring our farmers, agricultural universities and our agriculture students on one platform, then the budget can become a great instrument of change in agriculture and village life in a real sense and will not be just a game of numbers. Therefore, I urge you to make this seminar, webinar very productive along with actionable points. Only then will we be able to bring results. I am sure you will be able to provide guidance to all the departments and a way will be found to implement things seamlessly and we will move forward together quickly. I once again thank you all very much and wish you all the best.",কৃষিখণ্ডত ২০২২ বৰ্ষৰ কেন্দ্ৰীয় বাজেটৰ ইতিবাচক প্ৰভাৱ সন্দৰ্ভত আয়োজিত ৱেবিনাৰত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-tributes-to-dr-syama-prasad-mookerjee-on-his-jayanti-3/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A1%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D/,The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has remembered contributions of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee and has paid rich tributes to him on his Jayanti.

The Officer Trainees belong to 17 Civil Services, and 3 Services from the Royal Bhutan Civil Service. The address was preceded by presentations made by the Officer Trainees on essays written by them on the subject “Why I joined the Civil Services”; and on themes such as housing, education, integrated transport systems, malnutrition, solid waste management, skill development, digital transactions, Ek Bharat – Shreshtha Bharat, and New India – 2022. Officer Trainees also presented the best of their ideation on the Swachh Bharat Mission. Addressing the Officer Trainees (OTs), the Prime Minister began by complimenting them on the presentations. He said that he has given instructions that these presentations be studied in depth by senior officers of the Government of India. He said their observations and feedback should be shared with the OTs before the end of the Foundation Course. Giving tips to the OTs on how to prepare for their life immediately after the end of the training, the Prime Minister said that they must always be alert and attentive to the people around them. He said that the learning from books would surely prevent them from straying down the wrong path; but it is the connect and rapport they can establish with their teams and the people, that will help them to become successful. The Prime Minister stressed on the importance of jan-bhagidaari, or public participation, for policy initiatives to be successfully implemented. The Prime Minister said that before independence, the Civil Services were tasked with the objective of preserving the British Raj. Now, he said, the objective of the Civil Services is the prosperity and well-being of the people. He said if civil servants imbibe these objectives, the gap between Government machinery and the people can be bridged. The Prime Minister said that the problem of silos, and lack of team spirit among civil servants, can be effectively tackled during the initial training at Mussoorie. Referring to the trek performed by OTs during the Foundation Course, the Prime Minister asked them to imbibe the learnings of the trek, such as team spirit and leadership, and apply them throughout their careers. The Prime Minister said that social movements can drive change in a democracy, and the civil services should be catalysts for the same. Referring to the devotional song “Vaishnav Jan”, performed by OTs during the cultural programme yesterday, the Prime Minister said that the OTs should contemplate on the lyrics of this song, after replacing the words “Vaishnav Jan” with “Civil Servant.” The Prime Minister said that anonymity is the biggest strength of the civil servant. He compared the civil services to the fourth lion of the Ashoka Emblem, which remains invisible, yet makes its presence felt at all times. The Prime Minister said travel is a great Indian tradition, and travelling and interacting with people is a great learning experience. He urged OTs to tour the field areas, during their postings. Exhorting the OTs, the Prime Minister said that the “sense of career,” which had successfully brought them to LBSNAA, should now be replaced by a “sense of mission” – to serve the people of India. He said that in future, when they serve in the field, this should be their “purpose of life.” Earlier this morning, the Prime Minister participated in the Yoga session of the Officer Trainees, held in the lawns of the Academy, in the backdrop of the Himalayas. The Prime Minister unveiled plaques to mark the laying of Foundation Stone of the New Hostel Building, and a 200 metre multifunctional synthetic athletic track. The Prime Minister visited the Balwadi at the Academy and interacted with the children. He also visited the gymnasium and other facilities at the Academy.",মিচৌৰিৰ লাল বাহাদুৰ শাস্ত্রী নেচনেল একাডেমীত ৯২তম ফাউণ্ডেচন পাঠ্যক্ৰমৰ প্ৰশিক্ষণপ্ৰাপ্ত বিষয়াক সম্বোধি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-loss-of-lives-due-to-bus-tragedy-in-madhya-pradesh/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%98%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9B-%E0%A6%A6/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the loss of lives due to a bus tragedy in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh.

With the launch today, the first instalment of Rs 2,000 will be directly credited to the bank accounts of selected beneficiary farmers. The Prime Minister congratulated the farmers for the launch of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi. He also congratulated farmer families engaged in dairy farming, and fisheries, as they now have access to Kisan Credit Cards. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that this day is etched in history, because the biggest scheme for farmers since independence, has begun today. The Prime Minister said that the Government is determined to make the farmers capable and empowered. He said that the Government is working to provide all the necessary means to the farmers, to enable them to double their income by 2022. About 12 crore farmers are expected to benefit from PM-KISAN. The Prime Minister said that through this scheme, Rs. 75,000 crore will be transferred to farmers’ accounts every year. He urged State Governments to send the lists of beneficiary farmers to the Union Government at the earliest, so that farmers can receive the benefit of this scheme in time. The Prime Minister said that while the loan waivers announced periodically by earlier Governments, did not provide long term or comprehensive relief to the farmers, PM-KISAN will not only provide them relief, but will also mark a massive investment in the rural economy. The Prime Minister said that PM-KISAN depends on direct transfer, and therefore the entire amount will reach the beneficiary. He said that the Government is also investing about one lakh crore rupees to complete long pending irrigation projects, which will be of great and lasting help to farmers in many parts of the country. He also mentioned the 17 crore soil health cards, neem coating of urea, MSP for 22 crops at 50 percent above the cost price, PM Fasal Bima Yojana, and the e-NAM platform. The Prime Minister said that farmers can now avail credit uptoRs. 1.60 lakh, through Kisan Credit Cards. He also touched upon other welfare schemes for the benefit of farmers. The Prime Minister said that the entire region of Eastern Uttar Pradesh is undergoing rapid transformation. Industry, Connectivity and the Health sector are all witness to this change, he added. He also said that about 10,000 crore rupees worth of projects for the development of Gorakhpur and Eastern Uttar Pradesh have been either inaugurated, or the foundation stone laid for them, today.

It is one of the oldest temples in the area and attracts pilgrims in large numbers. The redevelopment of the temple has been done in 2 phases. The inauguration of the first phase of redevelopment was done by the Prime Minister earlier this year in April. The foundation stone of the redevelopment of the second phase, which was inaugurated in today’s program, was laid by the Prime Minister in 2017. This includes expansion of the temple base and ‘parisar’ at three levels, installation of amenities like street lights, CCTV system etc. The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude for his good fortune of being at the temple. He underlined the importance of the moment today when after 5 centuries and even 75 years after independence, ‘dhwaja’ sacred flag was hoisted on the temple. He said “Today, after centuries, the flag is once again hoisted on the top of the Pavagadh temple. This ‘Shikhar Dhwaj’ flag is not only a symbol of our faith and spirituality but this flag is also a symbol of the fact that centuries change, eras change, but the faith remains eternal.” He said that this redevelopment right before the upcoming ‘Gupt Navratri’ is an indication that ‘Shakti’ never dims or disappears. Referring to Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Kashi Vishvanath Dham and Kedar Dham, the Prime Minister pointed out “Today the spiritual and cultural glory of India is being restored. Today New India is proudly living its ancient identity along with its modern aspirations.” Alongwith centres of faith new possibilities of our progress are emerging and this grand temple at Pavagadh is part of that journey, he said. He said that this temple also symbolizes Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas. The Prime Minister recalled how Swami Vivekananda devoted himself to public service after getting Maa Kali’s briefings. He said that today he asked the goddess to give him strength to serve the people. Shri Modi prayed “Mother, bless me so that I continue to serve the people of the country as a servant of the people with more energy, sacrifice and dedication. Whatever strength I have, whatever virtues I have in my life, I should continue to dedicate it for the welfare of the mothers and sisters of the country.” In the context of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Prime Minister said that Gujarat has made sterling contributions in the freedom struggle as well as in the development journey of the nation. Garvi Gujarat is synonymous with pride and glory of India, he said. He said that in the glorious tradition of Somnath temple; Panchmahal and Pavagadh have kept working for the pride in our heritage. He said that today, Maa Kali has blessed her devotees with the greatest gift by completing the redevelopment and hoisting the Dhwaja. In the restoration, the ancient essence of the temple was not touched, he said. The Prime Minister also noted the ease of access to the temple. “Earlier the journey to Pavagadh was so difficult that people used to say that at least once in life the mother should have darshan. Today, the increasing facilities here have made difficult darshan accessible”, he said. He asked the devotees to maintain discipline. “There is spirituality in Pavagadh, there is also history,nature, art and culture. Here on one side is the Shaktipeeth of Maa Mahakali, and on the other side there is also a heritage Jain temple. That is, Pavagadh has in a way been a center of universal harmony with the historical diversity of India”, the Prime Minister said. Referring to the various temples of Mata, the Prime Minister noted that Gujarat has a security ring of Mata’s blessings. The Prime Minister noted that with development of places of faith new opportunities emerge for the region as tourism, employment and awareness about the art and craft of the region increases.

Namaskar! Many congratulations to the people of Manipur on the completion of 50 years of formation! It is the perseverance and sacrifice of so many people behind the achievements of Manipur as a state today. I respectfully bow down to every such person. Manipur has seen many ups and downs in the last 50 years. The people of Manipur have lived every moment unitedly and faced every situation. This is the true strength of Manipur. It has been my constant endeavor over the last seven years to come among you and take a first-hand account of your expectations, aspirations and needs. This is also the reason why I was able to understand your expectations and feelings better and find new ways to solve your problems. Manipur deserves peace and freedom from shutdowns and blockades. This has been a major ambition of the people of Manipur. Today I am happy that the people of Manipur have achieved this after a long wait under the leadership of Biren Singh ji. Today development is reaching every region and section of Manipur without any discrimination. It is a matter of great satisfaction for me personally. Friends, I am very happy to see that Manipur is putting its potential into development and the potential of its youth is shining on the world stage. When we see the zeal and passion of the sons and daughters of Manipur in the playing field, the head of the entire country is held high with pride. Keeping in view the potential of the youth of Manipur, we have taken the initiative to make the state a sports powerhouse of the country. This is the reasoning behind the establishment of the country’s first National Sports University. This is a great effort to promote sports, sports education, sports management and technology. Not only sports, the youth of Manipur are doing wonders in the matter of start-ups and entrepreneurship also. In this too, the role of sisters and daughters is commendable. The government is working with commitment to enriching the handicraft potential of Manipur. Friends, Manipur’s role is important in the vision with which we are moving forward to make the North East the center of the Act East Policy. You had to wait 50 years for the first passenger train. The rail services have reached Manipur after such a long period, after many decades, and when people see this dream coming true, every Manipur citizen says it is due to the double engine government. It took decades for such a basic facility. But now, work is happening at a rapid pace for the connectivity in Manipur. Today, work is going on at a brisk pace on connectivity projects worth thousands of crores of rupees. It also includes the Jiribam-Tupul-Imphal railway line. Similarly, with Imphal airport getting international status, connectivity of North-Eastern states with Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru has improved. Work is also going on in full swing on the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway. Manipur is also going to get the benefit of the natural gas pipeline being laid in the North East costing Rs 9,000 crore. Brothers and sisters, Today Manipur is at an important juncture after 50 years of journey. Manipur has started the journey towards rapid development. The obstacles that were there are now gone. Now we don’t have to look back from here on. When our country completes 100 years of its independence, then it will be 75 years of the full statehood of Manipur. Therefore, this is also the virtuous period for the development of Manipur as well. We have to remember that the forces which abandoned the development of Manipur for a long time should not get an opportunity to raise their heads again. Now we have to walk with new dreams and new resolutions for the next decade. I would especially urge the younger sons and daughters to come forward. I am very assured about your bright future. Manipur has to move ahead at a fast pace with a double engine of development. Once again many wishes to my dear brothers and sisters of Manipur!

Madhya Pradesh Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel ji, Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan ji, my colleagues in the Union Cabinet, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri ji, Dr. Virendra Kumar ji and Kaushal Kishore ji, ministers of the Madhya Pradesh government, MPs, MLAs, dear brothers and sisters from Indore and many cities of Madhya Pradesh and other dignitaries present here. When we were young and studying, the first thing that used to come to mind at the mention of Indore was Devi Ahilyabai Holkar of Maheshwar and her spirit of service. With time, Indore changed and changed for the better, but Indore never let go of the inspiration of Devi Ahilya ji. The name of Indore along with Devi Ahilya ji evokes cleanliness. Indore brings to mind civic duty. The people of Indore are so nice and they have modeled their city accordingly. The people of Indore are not only fond of ‘sev’ (snack), but also know how to serve their city. Today is going to provide new strength to Indore’s campaign for cleanliness. Many congratulations to all of you for the Gobar-Dhan plant that Indore has got today to make Bio-CNG from wet waste. I would like to appreciate Shivraj ji and his team, in particular, for making it possible in such a short span of time. Today I will also express my gratitude to Sumitra Tai, who took Indore’s identity to new heights as an MP. My colleague and the current MP of Indore Shankar Lalwani ji is also following in her footsteps and working continuously to make Indore better. And friends, Today, when I am praising Indore so much, I will also mention my parliamentary constituency Varanasi. I am happy that a very beautiful statue of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar ji has been installed in Kashi Vishwanath Dham. When the people of Indore would go to visit Baba Vishwanath, they would also get a glimpse of the statue of Devi Ahilyabai ji. You will feel more proud of your city. Friends, Today’s effort is very important to keep our cities pollution-free and to dispose of wet waste. Whether it is the wet waste from households in the cities or the waste from cattle and farms in the villages, it is Gobar-Dhan in a way. Gobar-Dhan from city waste and livestock, clean fuel from Gobar-Dhan and energy from clean fuel is a life-affirming chain. As direct proof of how each link in this chain is connected to each other, this Gobar-Dhan plant in Indore will now inspire other cities as well. I am happy that such Gobar-Dhan Bio CNG plants will be set up in 75 major municipalities of the country in the next two years. This campaign will go a long way in making Indian cities clean, pollution-free and in the direction of clean energy. And now thousands of Gobar-Dhan Biogas Plants are being set up not only in the cities but also in the villages of the country. As a result, our cattle farmers have started getting additional income from cow dung. These Gobar-Dhan plants will also alleviate the problems of the farmers in our villages and countryside regarding the helpless animals. All these efforts will also help in meeting India’s climate commitments. Friends, It would be better if more people got to know about the impact of the Gobar-Dhan Yojana, that is, our campaign to make wealth from waste. Indore will not only get 17,000-18,000 kg of bio-CNG per day from the Gobar-Dhan Bio-CNG Plant, but 100 tonnes of organic manure will also be generated daily. There will be less pollution due to the use of CNG and the ease of living for people will also improve. Simultaneously, organic manure will lead to a new life for our mother earth and our earth will also be rejuvenated. It is estimated that the CNG produced in this plant will be able to run about 400 buses every day in Indore city. Hundreds of youth are also going to get employment in some form from this plant which will also be helpful in increasing green jobs. Brothers and sisters, There are two ways to tackle any challenge. One way is to find an immediate solution to that challenge. The second is to deal with that challenge in such a way that everyone gets a permanent solution. The schemes that our government has formulated in the last seven years are going to give permanent solutions and achieve many goals simultaneously. Take for example the Swachh Bharat campaign. Along with cleanliness, it has led to the dignity of sisters, prevention of diseases, beautification of villages and cities and creation of employment opportunities. Now our focus is to dispose of the garbage from households and streets and to make the cities free from the mountains of garbage. And in it also, Indore has emerged as a great model. As you are aware this new plant has been set up near Devguradia where there used to be a mountain of garbage. Every Indore resident had a problem with this. But now the Indore Municipal Corporation has converted this 100-acre dumpsite into a green zone. Friends, Today, millions of tons of garbage in cities across the country have occupied thousands of acres of land for decades. It is also a major cause for the diseases caused by air and water pollution in the cities. Therefore, the emphasis in the second phase of the Swachh Bharat Mission is on dealing with this problem. The goal is to free our cities from these mountains of garbage and convert them into green zones in the next two-three years. For this, all possible help is being given to the state governments. It is also a matter of satisfaction that the capacity of urban waste disposal in the country has increased by four times in comparison to 2014. Material Recovery Facility is also being prepared in more than 1600 local bodies to rid the country of single-use plastic. We are endeavoring to set up such a system in every city of the country in the next few years. Such modern systems are also giving new strength to the circular economy in the cities of India. Friends, A clean city leads to another new possibility and that is tourism. There is no city in our country that does not have historical places or holy places. What has been lacking is cleanliness. When the cities are clean, people from other places also feel like visiting there and more people will come. There are so many people who come to Indore just only to see the cleanliness works. Where there is cleanliness, there is tourism and a whole new economy starts there. Friends, Recently, Indore has also made the achievement of being a water-plus city. This can also show direction to other cities. When the water sources of a city are clean and the dirty water of the drains does not seep into them, new energy emanates in that city. It is the effort of the government that more and more cities of India become water-plus. In this regard, emphasis is being laid on the second phase of the Swachh Bharat Mission. The treatment facilities of wastewater are being increased in the municipal bodies having a population of less than one lakh. Brothers and sisters, Change is possible if a sincere effort is made by recognizing problems. We don’t have oil wells, we have to depend on others for petroleum imports, but we have had the resources to make ethanol and biofuel for years. This technology also came a long time ago. It is our government that put a lot of emphasis on the use of this technology. Until 7-8 years ago, ethanol blending in India was barely growing at 1%, 1.5%, 2%, not growing beyond that. Today, the percentage of ethanol blending in petrol is reaching around 8%. The supply of ethanol for blending has also been greatly increased in the last seven years. Before 2014, about 40 crore liters of ethanol were supplied for blending in the country. Today, more than 300 crore liters of ethanol are being supplied for blending. See the difference between 40 crore liters and 300 crore liters! This has improved the health of our sugar mills and has helped the sugarcane farmers a lot. Friends, Stubble is another issue. Our farmers and people living in cities too have suffered from stubble (burning). We have made an important decision related to stubble in this year’s budget. It has been decided to use stubble in coal-fired power plants. Farmers will not only be rid of this problem, they will also get additional income from the waste of agriculture. Similarly, we have also seen there was a lot of indifference about solar energy and solar power earlier. Since 2014, our government has launched a campaign to increase the production of solar power across the country. As a result, India has made its place in the top-5 countries of the world today in terms of generating electricity from solar power. With this solar power, our government is making farmers food donors as well as energy donors. Lakhs of solar pumps are also being given to farmers across the country. Brothers and sisters, Along with technology and innovation, the hard work of Indians is also behind India’s achievements. Therefore, India is today able to set bigger goals for a green and clean future. We are moving ahead with unwavering trust in our youths, sisters and lakhs of our ‘safai karamcharis’ (sanitation workers). The youth of India are playing a very important role in new technology and innovation as well as creating public awareness. I am told that the responsible sisters of Indore have taken the management of garbage to a different level. The people of Indore separate the garbage into six parts, so that the processing and recycling of the waste can be done properly. This effort and spirit of the people of any city prove helpful in making the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan a success. Along with cleanliness, empowering the values of recycling is a great service to the country in itself. This is the philosophy of LIFE i.e. lifestyle for the environment, a way of life. Friends, Through this program, I would like to express my gratitude to the lakhs of sanitation workers across the country along with Indore. Be it winter or summer, you set out early in the morning to make your city clean. Your service even in this difficult time of Corona has helped in saving the lives of so many people. This country is deeply indebted to every sanitation worker. We can help them by keeping our cities clean, by not scattering litter and by following the rules. I remember India’s Kumbh Mela got a new identity for the first time in the world during the Kumbh in Prayagraj. Earlier, the identity of India’s Kumbh Mela revolved around our sages. But the Kumbh held in Prayagraj was identified as Swachh (clean) Kumbh for the first time in Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Yogi ji. It was discussed all over the world. The newspapers of the world wrote something or the other about it. It had a huge positive effect on my mind. I had so much gratitude for these sanitation workers that when I went to take a holy bath in the Kumbh Mela, I washed their feet after taking a bath and honored them. I also took their blessings. Today, I pay my respectful salutations to each of my sanitation brothers and sisters of Indore from Delhi. I bow to them. Had you not continued this cleanliness campaign during the Corona period, we would have faced so many troubles. I salute you for saving the common man of this country and for his concern so that he did not have to visit the doctor. Brothers and sisters, With this, I end my speech. Once again all the people of Indore, especially my mothers and sisters of Indore, deserve appreciation because of their initiative not to throw garbage outside and segregate it and also my ‘Bal Sena’ (army of children) who do not allow anybody to throw garbage in homes and helped me a lot in making the cleanliness campaign success across the country. The children of three to four years old tell their grandfather not to scatter garbage. ‘If you have eaten chocolate, don’t throw the wrapper anywhere.’ The efforts of the Bal Sena will strengthen the foundation of our future India. While commending all of them from my heart today, I also congratulate all of you on the Bio-CNG plant! Many thanks!

NLMC will undertake monetization of surplus land and building assets of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and other Government agencies. The proposal is in pursuance of the Budget Announcement for 2021-22. With monetization of non-core assets, Government would be able to generate substantial revenues by monetizing unused and under-used assets. At present, CPSEs hold considerable surplus, unused and under used non-core assets in the nature of land and buildings. For CPSEs undergoing strategic disinvestment or closure, monetization of these surplus land and non-core assets is important to unlock their value. NLMC will support and undertake monetization of these assets. This will also enable productive utilization of these under-utilized assets to trigger private sector investments, new economic activities, boost local economy and generate financial resources for economic and social infrastructure. NLMC is also expected to own, hold, manage and monetize surplus land and building assets of CPSEs under closure and the surplus non-core land assets of Government owned CPSEs under strategic disinvestment. This will speed up the closure process of CPSEs and smoothen the strategic disinvestment process of Government owned CPSEs. These assets may be transferred to NLMC to hold, manage and monetize these assets. NLMC will also advise and support other Government entities (including CPSEs) in iden tifying their surplus non-core assets and monetizing them in a professional and efficient manner to generate maximum value realization. In these cases (e.g., on-going CPSEs and listed CPSEs under strategic disinvestment), NLMC will undertake surplus land asset monetization as an agency function. It is expected that NLMC will act as a repository of best practices in land monetization, assist and provide technical advice to Government in implementation of asset monetization programme. NLMC will have necessary technical expertise to professionally manage and monetize land assets on behalf of CPSEs and other Government agencies. The Board of Directors of NLMC will comprise senior Central Government officers and eminent experts to enable professional operations and management of the company. The Chairman, non-Government Directors of the NLMC will be appointed through a merit-based selection process. Recognizing the wide range of specialized skills and expertise required for asset monetization in real estate market research, legal due diligence, valuation, master planning, investment banking, land management etc. It has been decided to hire professionals from the private sector, similar to other specialized Government companies like National investment and infrastructure Fund (NIIF) and Invest India. NLMC will be a lean organization with minimal full time staff, hired directly from the market on contract basis. Flexibility will be provided to the Board of NLMC to hire, pay and retain experienced professionals from the private sector. Going forward, Department of Public Enterprise, Ministry of Finance, will set up the company and act as its administrative ministry.",অতিৰিক্ত ভূমিসম্পদৰ মুদ্ৰাকৰণৰ দায়িত্ব গ্ৰহণ কৰিব পৰাকৈ ‘বিশেষ উদ্দেশ্য বহক’(এছপিভি) হিচাপে ‘ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় ভূমি মুদ্ৰাকৰণ নিগম’ স্থাপনৰ প্ৰস্তাৱলৈ কেন্দ্ৰীয় কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-speech-at-inauguration-of-azadi-75-conference-and-expo-in-lucknow/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8C%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%AD%E0%A7%AB-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE/,"Governor of Uttar Pradesh Smt. Anandiben Patel ji, my colleague in the Union Cabinet and MP from Lucknow and our senior colleague, Shri Rajnath Singh ji, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri ji, Mahendra Nath Pandey ji, popular Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya ji, Shri Dinesh Sharma ji, my colleague in the Union Cabinet, Shri Kaushal Kishor ji, state government ministers, MPs, MLAs, all respected ministers from different parts of the country, all other dignitaries and my dear sisters and brothers from Uttar Pradesh. When I come to Lucknow, the history of Awadh region, sweet dialect like Malihabadi Dussehri, food habits, skillful workmanship, art-architecture, everything is conspicuous. I liked the idea that experts from all over the country are going to come together and brainstorm on the new urban India, i.e., the new complexion of the cities of India, in Lucknow for three days. The exhibition here definitely displays the achievements of 75 years and the new resolutions of the country in this Amrit festival of independence. I have noticed that when a defence exhibition was organized last time, the people came to visit it not only from Lucknow, but the entire Uttar Pradesh. This time also, I would request the citizens here to see this exhibition. You must watch this exhibition which showcases India’s prowess and awakens our faith. Today 75 projects related to the development of the cities of UP have either been inaugurated or their foundation stone laid. Today, 75,000 beneficiaries have got the keys of their pucca houses in 75 districts of UP. All these friends will celebrate Dussehra, Diwali, Chhath, Guru Purab, Eid-e-Milad and many more festivals in their new homes this year. I’ve got a lot of satisfaction after talking to a few people here and there is also an invitation for lunch. I am also happy that of the houses being given under the PM Awas Yojana in the country, the ownership of more than 80 percent of them is with women or they are joint owners. I have been told that the UP government has also taken a good decision related to women’s homes. Women are also being given a rebate of 2% in stamp duty on registration of houses up to Rs 10 lakh. This is a very commendable decision. It does not strike our mind that much when we talk about the ownership of property in the women’s name. Let me delve you into a world and only then you will realize the importance of this decision. Look around any family. I am not saying whether it is right or wrong. I am only stating the position. If there is a house, it is in the name of the husband, if there is a field, it is in the name of the husband, if there is a car, it is in the name of the husband, if there is a scooter, it is in the name of the husband. If there is a shop, it is in the name of the husband and if the husband is no more then it passes on to his son. But there is nothing in the name of the mother. Some steps need to be taken to strike a balance for a healthy society and hence we have decided that the women will get the ownership of the houses given by the government. Friends, There is another complimentary occasion for Lucknow. Lucknow has given a visionary in the form of Atal ji who was dedicated to the nation, to Maa Bharati. In his memory, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Chair is being established in Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University today. I am sure that this chair will bring Atal ji’s vision, his actions and his contribution in nation building on the world stage. India’s 75 years of foreign policy had many turning points, but Atal ji gave it a new direction. His efforts for the connectivity of the country and the people are the strong foundation of present-day India. Think over it. On the one hand, there was the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and, on the other hand, the Golden Quadrangle – North-East, East-West, and North-South-East-West Corridors i.e. his vision and development efforts on both sides (rural as well as urban). Friends, Years ago, when Atal ji had floated the idea of connecting the metropolitan cities of the country through National Highways, some people did not believe it. And 6-7 years ago, when I talked about mammoth infrastructure projects like crores of pucca houses for the poor, crores of toilets, fast running trains, piped gas in cities, optical fiber etc, even then people had doubts. But the world is watching India’s success in these campaigns. The number of pucca houses that India is building today under the PM Awas Yojana is more than the total population of many countries of the world. There was a time when it used to take years to get the permission of the house till its completion. Questions were also raised about the quality of the houses (under government schemes). Small houses, poor construction material, manipulation in allotment were the destiny of my poor brothers and sisters. In 2014, the country gave us an opportunity to serve and I am especially grateful to Uttar Pradesh for ushering me to the country’s Parliament. And when you gave us the responsibility, we tried sincerely to fulfill our responsibility. Friends, The government before 2014 had sanctioned only 13 lakh houses under urban housing schemes in the country. Remember the figure? The previous government sanctioned 13 lakh houses and only 8 lakh houses were built. Since 2014, our government has approved the construction of more than 1.13 crore houses in cities under the PM Awas Yojana. Look at the difference between 13 lakh and 1.13 crore! Out of this, more than 50 lakh houses have been built and handed over to the poor. Friends, A building can be made from bricks and stones, but it cannot necessarily be called a house. But that building becomes a home when the dream of every member of the family is attached to it, there is belongingness and the family members are working wholeheartedly for a goal. Friends, We gave complete freedom to beneficiaries right from the design of the house to the construction. They can build their houses as they wish. One cannot decide from air-conditioned rooms in Delhi whether the window will be here or there. There was no clear policy about the size of the houses under the government schemes before 2014. Some houses were built on 15 sq. meter land, while some others on 17 sq. meter land. It was very difficult to live in those small houses. Our government made a comprehensive policy regarding the size of the houses after 2014. We decided that no house smaller than 22 square meters will be built. Along with increasing the size of the house, we started sending money directly to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. Very little has been discussed about the amount that has been sent to the bank accounts of the poor to build houses. You will be surprised to know that the central government has transferred about one lakh crore rupees to the bank accounts of the poor under the PM Awas Yojana- Urban. Friends, There are some gentlemen in our country who keep saying that we have made Modi the Prime Minister, but what has Modi done? Today, for the first time, I want to tell you something, after which some important opponents, who spend their energy day and night opposing us, will become more aggressive. I know that but I think I should still tell you. Three crore such families, who are my family members and who used to live in slums and who did not have a pucca roof, have got an opportunity to become lakhpati with a single scheme. Three crore poor families out of a rough estimate of about 25-30 crore families have become lakhpatis in such a short tenure. This is very important in itself. Now you will ask me how Modi can make such boisterous claims. You just guess the price of about three crore houses that have been built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. These people are now lakhpatis. We have fulfilled the biggest dream of poor families by building three crore pucca houses. Friends, I am reminded of the days when, despite all the efforts, there was no progress in the construction of houses in Uttar Pradesh. Since I am in Lucknow today, I think I should tell you in detail! Are you prepared to listen? It is necessary for the people of UP to know how our urban planning becomes a victim of politics. Friends, The central government was giving money to build houses for the poor. The previous government in Uttar Pradesh before Yogi ji came to power in 2017 was not interested in building houses for the poor. We had to plead with those who were in the government here earlier to build houses for the poor. Before 2017, 18,000 houses were approved for UP under the PM Awas Yojana. But the government which was here did not even build 18 houses for the poor under the PM Awas Yojana. Can you imagine that 18,000 houses were approved, but not even 18 houses were built for the poor? You should ponder over these things, my brothers and sisters. There was money, there was approval for houses, but those who were ruling UP were constantly creating obstacles in it. The people of UP, including the poor, can never forget their acts. Friends, I am satisfied that nine lakh houses have been given to the urban poor in UP after the formation of the Yogi ji’s government. Now 14 lakh houses are in different stages of construction in UP for our poor brothers and sisters living in the cities. With facilities like electricity, water, gas, toilet etc also being made available in the house, the house warming ceremony is also being held with joy and gaiety. Now that I have come to Uttar Pradesh, I feel like giving you some homework too. Should I? But you will have to do it? Will you? I have read this in newspapers and I was probably asking Yogi ji as well. Reportedly, there will be a programme in Ayodhya when 7.5 lakh lamps will be lit on Deepawali. I urge Uttar Pradesh to come forward in this competition for illumination. Who lights more lamps? Whether Ayodhya or 18 lakh lamps by these nine lakh houses, which have been given today? Can it be made possible? These nine lakh families, who have got houses in the last seven years, should light two lamps outside their houses. While 7.5 lakh lamps will be lit in Ayodhya and 18 lakh lamps will be lit in the houses of my poor families. Lord Rama will be pleased. Brothers and sisters, In the last few decades, many huge buildings have come up in our cities, but those who labour to build these buildings have slums in their share. The condition of slums is such where even basic facilities like water and toilets are not available. The construction of pucca houses has been a huge help to our brothers and sisters living in the slums. The government has started a scheme for the workers migrating from villages to cities for work to get better accommodation at reasonable rent. Friends, Our government has made a very solemn effort to overcome the problems and challenges of the urban middle class. Real Estate Regulatory Authority i.e. RERA has been one such big step. This law has helped in ending the mistrust and fraud in the entire housing sector. With the enactment of this law, the home buyers are also getting timely justice. We have also earmarked a special fund of thousands of crores of rupees to complete the unfinished houses in the cities. Lakhs of rupees are also being given to the first-time home buyers to enable the middle class to fulfill their home dreams. They are also helped by low interest rates. Recently, the Model Tenancy Act has also been forwarded to the states, and I am happy that the UP government has implemented it immediately. With this law, the age-old problems of both the landlord and the tenant are being addressed. This will also make it easier to get a house on rent and will give a boost to the rental property market, creating more investment and employment opportunities. Brothers and sisters, The life of the urban middle class has become easier due to the new rules regarding work from home during the Corona period. The ease of remote working has been a great relief to the middle class colleagues in the Corona era. Brothers and sisters, If you remember, we often used to hear negative narratives about the cleanliness of our cities before 2014. Filth was accepted as the nature of urban life. Indifference towards cleanliness not only affects the beauty of the cities and tourism, but endangers the health of the people. The country is running a huge campaign under Swachh Bharat Mission and AMRUT Mission to change this situation. Over the years, over 60 lakh private toilets and over six lakh community toilets have been built in cities. Till seven years ago, where only 18 percent of the waste could be disposed of, it has now increased to 70 percent today. Here in UP also, a huge capacity of waste processing has been developed in the last few years. It was very relaxing to find several such things in the exhibition today. Now a campaign to remove the mounds of garbage in the cities has also been started under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan 2.0. Friends, LED lights have played another important role in enhancing the grandeur of the cities. The government has replaced more than 90 lakh old street lights in the country with LEDs under a campaign. With the installation of LED street lights, the urban bodies are also saving about 1,000 crore rupees every year. Now these urban bodies can and are investing this amount in other development works. LEDs have also significantly reduced the electricity bill of the people living in the cities. The LED bulb, which used to be costlier than Rs 300 earlier, has been given by the government for Rs 50-60 under the Ujala scheme. About 37 crore LED bulbs have been distributed under this scheme. As a result, about 24,000 crore rupees of the poor and middle class have been saved in the electricity bill. Friends, In 21st century India, the most important way to revive cities is the maximum use of technology. The institutions involved in the development of cities and the city planners will have to give top priority to technology in their approach. Friends, When we used to live in a small locality in Gujarat and whenever there was a mention of Lucknow, people would often say that whenever they go to Lucknow they get to hear ‘Pehle Aap’. Though I am saying in jest, we will have to say ‘Pehle Aap’ to technology too. The huge change in the urban sector in India in the last 6-7 years has been made possible only due to technology. Technology is the basis of the Integrated Command and Control Centers that are running in more than 70 cities of the country today. It is the technology which is powering the vast network of CCTV cameras in the cities across the country. The culprits have to think a hundred times (before committing crimes) due to more than 30,000 modern CCTV cameras which have been installed in 75 cities of the country. These CCTVs are also helping a lot in getting the criminals punished. Friends, It is also due to technology that thousands of tons of garbage are disposed and processed every day in the cities of India and then being used in the construction of roads. I have seen several Wealth from Waste projects in the exhibition. These experiments are very inspiring. Friends, Today, modern technology is increasing the capacity of sewage treatment plants being built across the country. The National Common Mobility Card is a gift of technology itself. At this event, 75 electric buses have been flagged off; it is also a reflection of modern technology. Friends, I just saw a house being built in Lucknow under the Lighthouse project. The technology being used in these houses will not require plaster and paint. The already prepared walls will be used in these houses. This will speed up the construction of houses. I am sure all the people who have come to Lucknow from all over the country will learn a lot from this project and try to implement it in their cities also. Friends, The PM SVANidhi Yojana is also an example of how technology changes the lives of the poor. There has been a tradition of different types of markets in many cities like Lucknow. Our street vendors enhance the beauty of the weekly markets. Technology has proved to be a boon for these brothers and sisters. Under the PM SVANidhi Yojana, street vendors are being linked with banks. Financial help of more than Rs 2500 crore has been given to more than 25 lakh friends under this scheme. More than seven lakh friends of UP have benefited from the SVANidhi Yojana. With their banking history, they are conducting more and more digital transactions. I am also happy that out of the top three cities that have benefited the most from the SVANidhi scheme, two are from our Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is number one in the country and Kanpur is at number two. This is a huge help in this time of Corona. I appreciate Yogi ji’s government for this. Friends, Today, when I am talking about digital transactions by our street vendors, I am also reminded of the scheme being ridiculed earlier. It was said that how these less educated people would be able to do digital transactions. But the street vendors associated with the SVANidhi scheme have done more than seven crore digital transactions so far. Now when they buy something from wholesalers also, they do digital payment only. Today, due to such friends, India is making new records in digital payments. In the last three months i.e. July, August, September, digital transactions of more than Rs 6 lakh crore have taken place every month. The footfall of people in banks is also declining. This demonstrates the change and the strength of India adopting technology. Friends, Over the years, both the traffic problem and the pollution challenge in India have been addressed with a holistic approach. Metro train is also a great example of this. Today India is expanding Metro services rapidly to major cities across the country. In 2014, where the Metro used to run on less than 250 km of route, today it is running in about 700 km. The officers briefed me today that the Metro work is progressing on 1,050 kilometers. Metro network is expanding in six cities of UP too. Whether it is the goal of operating electric buses in more than 100 cities or the UDAN scheme, they are also giving impetus to urban development. India of the 21st century will now move forward with the power of multi-modal connectivity and the preparations are going on very fast. And friends, The biggest positive impact of all these urban infrastructure projects is employment generation in cities whether it is the Metro work, construction of houses, or work related to electricity and water. Experts consider them to be force-multipliers. Therefore, we have to maintain the momentum of these projects. Brothers and sisters, The life of the entire India and Indian culture is enveloped in Uttar Pradesh. This is the land of Lord Shri Rama, Shri Krishna and Lord Buddha. It is our responsibility to modernize the cities in order to nurture the rich heritage of UP. The people of Uttar Pradesh are well aware of the contrast in UP now and before 2017. Earlier, electricity in UP was barely there and outages were frequent. Moreover, electricity was available in the areas where the politicians wanted. Electricity was not a facility but a tool of politics, the road was built only when there was a recommendation and all of you are aware of the condition of water. Now electricity is available to everyone and everywhere equally. Now even the poor’s houses get electricity. The village road does not require any recommendation. In short, the will that is needed for urban development is also there in UP today. I am sure that the projects for which the foundation stone has been laid today will be completed expeditiously under the leadership of Yogi ji. Once again, many congratulations to all of you on the development projects.

Congrats to @isro & @INSPACeIND for enabling this feat.” “This accomplishment bears testimony to the immense talent of our youth, who took full advantage of the landmark space sector reforms of June 2020.”","প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে ভাৰতৰ প্ৰথম বেচৰকাৰী ৰকেট, বিক্ৰম-এছৰ সফল প্ৰক্ষেপণৰ বাবে ইছৰো আৰু ইন-স্পেচক অভিনন্দন জনায" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-independence-day-speech-2018-highlights/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8/,"The Prime Minster, Shri Narendra Modi today addressed the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 72nd Independence Day. Following are the highlights from his speech: Today, the country is full of self-confidence. The country is scaling new heights by working extremely hard with a resolve to scale new heights. We have been celebrating this festival of independence, at a time when our daughters from states of Uttarakhand, Himachal, Manipur, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have come back after circumnavigating the seven seas. They have come back amongst us by (unfurling tricolour in seven seas) turning the seven seas into the colour of our Tricolor. Our young tribal children, those who live in our forests in the far-flung areas, they have enhanced the glory of the tri-colour by unfurling it on the Mount Everest. Whether it is a Dalit or be it someone who has been persecuted or exploited or be it a deprived person or women, our Parliament has made the social justice even morestronger with all the sensitivity and alertness to protect their interests. The demand to give constitutional status to the OBC commission had been raised for years. This time our Parliament has made an effort to protect the interests of backward classes, interests of the extremely backward classes by according the constitutional status to the OBC commission. I want to reassure the people who have lost their loved ones and are facing a lot of distress due to floods that the country is with them and is making complete efforts for helping them out. My heartfelt condolences are with those who have lost their loved ones. The next year will mark 100 years of the Jalliwanwallahbagh massacre. The masses had sacrificed their lives for the country’s freedom; and the exploitation had crossed all limits. The Jalliwanwallahbagh incident inspires us of the sacrifices made by those brave hearts. I salute all those brave hearts from the bottom of my heart. India has become the sixth largest economy of the world. Today I salute those brave freedom fighters from the core of my heart on behalf of my countrymen. Our soldiers, the para-military forces and the Police are laying down their lives and are in service of the people of the country day in and day out for maintaining the splendour and dignity of the National flag, the tricolour. After independence, an highly inclusive constitution was drafted under the leadership of Baba SahebAmbedkar. It came with the resolve of making a new India. India should be self-reliant, strong, always on the path of sustainable development. There should not only be a credence for India, but we also want that India should be effective in the world, we make India like that. When dreams, hard work and aspirations of 125 crores people come together, what can’t be achieved? 125 crores Indian did not just stop at forming the government in 2014, instead, they continuously strived to make the country better. This is the strength of India. If you take into consideration the work that has been done in the last four years, you will be surprised to see the speed at which the country is moving and the pace at which the progress is being made. Had we worked at the speed of 2013 , it would have taken centuries in making India 100% open defecation free or electrifying every part or even providing the LPG gas connection to every woman in rural and urban areas. Had we worked with the speed of 2013, an entire generation would have taken to connect the country with optical fibre. We will go by such speed to achieve all these goals. The country is experiencing change in the last four years. The country is progressing with new zeal, enthusiasm and courage. Today the country is constructing twice the highways and four times more houses in the villages. The country is producing record foodgrains and manufacturing record number of mobile phones. The sale of tractors has reached a new high. After independence the country is buying largest numbers of airplanes. The new IIMs, IITs and AIIMS are being established in the country. The mission of Skill Development is being encouraged by establishing new centres in small places. Start-up programmes have mushroomed in Tier II and Tier III cities. Efforts are in progress to compile a ‘common sign’ dictionary for disable persons. Modernisation and technology has entered into the field of agriculture. Our farmers are using micro irrigation, drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation methods. On the one hand, our soldiers help those who are at the brink of catastrophe with sympathy and empathy and on the other hand they are capable of attacking the enemies with surgical strikes. We should always progress with new objectives. When our goals are not clear, progress is not possible. We will not be in a position to solve the various problems for years together. We have decided with great courage to give attractive prices for the products of farmers. The minimum support price for many crops has been increased to more than 1.5 times the input costs. With the help of small traders, their openness and their aptitude to accept new things, the country has successfully implemented the GST. It has brought a new confidence among the traders. Benami Property Law has been implemented with great courage and intention for the good of the country. There was a time when the world used to call India’s economy risky. However, today, the same people and institutions have been saying with a lot of confidence that our reform momentum has been strengthening our fundamentals. There was a time when the world used to talk of Red Tape’. However, today the issue of ‘Red Carpet’ is being discussed. We have reached 100th position in the ‘ease of doing business’ ranking. Today, the entire world is looking at our achievement with pride. There was a time when for the world India meant – ‘policy paralysis’ and ‘delayed reforms’. However, today India is being discussed for – ‘reform, perform and transform’. There was a time when the world counted India among the ‘fragile five’. However, today the world has been saying that India has become the destination for multi-trillion dollar investment. It is being said about India’s economy that the ‘sleeping elephant’ has woken up and has started racing. The world economists and institutions have observed that for the next three decades India would contribute momentum to the global economic strength. India’s stature has increased at the international forums, India has voiced its opinions strongly on such forums. Earlier India was awaiting membership of various international organisations. Now innumerable institutions have come forward to give membership to India. India has become a hope for all the other countries as far as global warming is concerned. International solar alliance is being welcomed throughout the world. Today we see a magnificent impression of North East in the field of sports. The last village in the North East has been electrified. We are getting progressive news about highways, railways, airways, waterways and information ways (I-ways) from North East. Our youths from the North East are establishing BPO in their areas. The North East region has turned to be a hub of organic farming. Sports university is being set up in North East. There was a time when North East felt distant from Delhi but within last four years we have succeeded to get Delhi to the threshold of North East. In our country 65% of our population consists of 35 year old people. Our youth has brought a paradigm shift in the nature of job. Whether it is startup, BPO or e-commerce or the field of mobility, our youth has entered into new fields. Now a days our youth is committed to take this country to new heights. 13 crore people have availed MUDRA LOAN which is a great achievement. Of this 4 crore are youth who have availed loan for the very first time and are self-employed and progressing independently. This in itself is an example of changing atmosphere.Our youth are managing common service centres in three lakh villages and they are linking every village and citizen with the world in seconds by utilizing information technology. With the spirit of innovation our scientists, we are going to launch ‘NAVIC’ which will be very useful for the fishermen and others. India has resolved to send manned spacecraft to the space by 2022. India will be the fourth country to do this. Now we are focussed on bringing modernisation and advancement in the field of agriculture. We have dreamt of doubling farmer’s income by 75th year of Independence. We want to expand the horizons of agriculture with the help of modernization. We want to adopt value addition right from ‘seeds – to –market’. For the first time we are progressing in the path of Agriculture Export Policy so as to enable our farmers to emerge powerful in the world market. Now new avenues of organic farming, blue revolution, sweet revolution, solar farming have emerged on which we plan to move ahead. In fisheries, India has emerged second largest country of the world. The export of honey has doubled. It is a matter of pleasure for the sugarcane farmers that the production of ethanol has tripled. In rural economy, the other sectors are also important. We want to increase the resources of rural area, with the creation of women self-help groups, mobilizing billions of rupees. We want to enhance the efficiency of villages and we are making efforts in this direction. Now the sale of Khadi has doubled. Our farmers are now focussing on solar farming. Due to this he can contribute to agriculture and at the same time earn money by sale of solar energy. Along with economic progress and development, we also want to focus on dignity of human life which is supreme. Hence we are also planning to continue with those schemes which enable a common man to lead his life with pride, respect and dignity. According to WHO report 3 lakh children have been saved because of Swachchta Campaign. Taking inspiration from Gandhiji who had organized satayagrahis, we have succeed to mobilize ‘Swatchagrahis’. On the occasion of 150th birth anniversary crores of “Swatchagrahis’ plan to pay tribute in deed and action to respected Bapuji in the form of Swatch Bharat. In order to provide free health services to the poorest people, Government of India has launched Pradhan Mantri Jan ArogyaYojanaAbhiyan. Now under this scheme any person can get relief from diseases by going to the good hospitals. Under the scheme Ayushman Bharat 10 crore families are able to get health insurance benefits, it means nearly 50 crore citizens will be covered. Each family will get 5 lakh rupees health coverage annually. We give utmost importance to technology and transparency. Technology intervention will remove the hurdles for the common man in accessing various facilities. With this objective technology tools have been developed. Pradhan Mantri Jan ArogyaAbhiyan will be launched on 25th September, 2018 as a result from now on, common man need not suffer from problems of dreaded diseases. New avenues are emerging for middle class families and youth in the field of health. New hospitals will be constructed in 2 tier and 3 tier cities. Medical staff will be established in huge numbers. Employment opportunities will be more in the years to come. During the period of four years we tried to empower the poor. One international organisation has reported that during the last two years, 5 crore poor people have crossed the poverty line. There are several schemes for empowerment of poor. But the middlemen are taking away the benefits and poorer people are unable to get the benefits. Government is making efforts to close all the leakages. We are on the path of removal of corruption and black-money. Due to all these efforts we were able to mobilize 90000 crore money to the Government Exchequer. The honest pay taxes. With their contribution schemes are implemented. The credit goes to taxpayer and not to the Government. Upto 2013, for the past 70 years the direct tax payers were only 4 crore people. Now the numbers has doubled and grown to 7.25 crores. For the period of 70 years, indirect tax officials were able to mobilize 70 lakhs of revenue. Whereas by implementation of GST, within a year we were able to mobilize 16 lakhs of revenue. We cannot tolerate black money and corruption. Let there be many obstacles. But I can’t leave them. Now power brokers are not visible in the streets of Delhi. In order to maintain transparency we have launched online process. We have utilized Information Technology to the maximum level. Through Short Service Commission, we will appoint women officers in the Armed Forces of India. Transparency will be maintained in this process. Women officials will be treated at par with male counterparts. Rape is painful. But the agony experienced by the victim is more painful. This should be realized by the people of this country. Everybody should feel the trauma. We have to liberate this country, and society from the clutches of this demonic attitude. Law is doing it’s own business. We have to make efforts to attack this attitude. We have to attack this type of thinking. We should remove these types of perversion. Triple Talak has endangered the lives of Muslim women. Those who did not get Talak (divorce) are also sailing in the same boat. We made an effort to alleviate the grief of Muslim women by bringing an act in the Monsoon Session of Parliament. But even today there are some people who do not want to pass the Bill. Due to the efforts of security forces and endeavours made by State Governments, and also due to the implementation of Central and State Government developmental schemes and the people’s participation, Tripura and Meghalaya have been liberated from the Armed Forces Special Power Act. The way shown to us by Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the matters of Jammu and Kashmir is the best way. We would like to go in the same path. We do not want the path of bullets and abuses. We have to embrace the patriotic people of Kashmir, and proceed further. In the months to come, rural people of Jammu and Kashmir will be able to enjoy their rights. They will be able to take care of themselves. Government of India gives enough money to Gram Panchayaths which will be useful for development. We have to arrange for the elections to panchayats and local institutions. We are progressing in this direction. Every Indian dreams to have his own house, therefore we bring in “Housing for All.”. He wants to get his house electrified, therefore there is Electrification for all Villages. Every Indian wants to get rid of smoke in the kitchen. To achieve this there is cooking gas for all. Every Indian requires safe drinking water. Therefore our aim is to get water for all. Every Indian requires a toilet, hence our objective is to ensure sanitation for all. Every Indian requires skill development. Hence we have brought in skill development for all. Every Indian needs quality health service. So, our endeavour is health for all. Every Indian requires security for which he needs a health insurance coverage. To meet this need, we bring insurance for all. Every Indian requires internet facility. Therefore we are making efforts to get connectivity for all. We want to lead our country towards the path of development by following the mantra of connectivity. We don’t want the path of confrontation. We do not want roadblocks. We don’t want to bow our head before anybody. The nation will never stop, never bow before anything,never get tired. We have to scale new heights. It is our aim to achieve enormous progress in the years to come.",স্বাধীনতা দিৱসত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে আগবঢ়োৱা ভাষণৰ মূল দিশসমূহ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-joint-press-meet-with-the-prime-minister-of-uk/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D/,"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Distinguished delegates, Our friends from the media, Namaskar! First of all, I extend a warm welcome to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his delegation to India. This may be his first visit to India as Prime Minister, but as an old friend of India, he knows and understands India very well. For the past several years, Prime Minister Johnson has played a very important role in strengthening the relations between India and the UK. At the time, when India is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of its independence, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s visit is a historic moment in itself. And yesterday, the whole of India saw that you started your visit to India by paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Sabarmati Ashram. Friends, Last year, we established the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries. And to give direction to our relationship in the present decade we had also launched an ambitious ‘Roadmap 2030’. In our conversation today, we also reviewed the progress made in this roadmap, and set some goals for the future. Teams of both countries are working on the subject of Free Trade Agreement. Good progress is being made in the negotiations. And we have decided to make full efforts towards the conclusion of the FTA by the end of this year. In the last few months, India has concluded Free Trade Agreements with UAE and Australia. At the same pace, with the same commitment, we would like to move forward on the FTA with the UK as well. We have also agreed to enhance cooperation in the defence sector. We welcome the UK’s support for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ in all sectors of manufacturing, technology, design and development in the defence sector. Friends, We also had discussions on the comprehensive reforms going on in India, our infrastructure modernization plan and the National Infrastructure Pipeline. We welcome the increasing investment in India by UK companies. And, a good example of this we got to see yesterday at Halol in Gujarat. 1.6 million people of Indian origin living in the UK are making positive contributions to the society and every sector of the economy. We are proud of their achievements. And we want to strengthen this living bridge further. Prime Minister Johnson has personally contributed a lot in this direction. I congratulate him for this. Friends, We expressed our commitment to fulfil the resolutions taken at the COP-26 held in Glasgow. Today we decided to further deepen our climate and energy partnership. We invite the UK to join India’s National Hydrogen Mission. And I sincerely welcome the establishment of the Strategic Tech Dialogue between us. Friends, Today, the conclusion of the implementation arrangements of the Global Innovation Partnership between us will prove to be a very important initiative. This will further strengthen our development partnership with other countries. Under this, India and the UK will co-finance up to $100 million for transfer and scaling-up of “Made in India” innovations to third countries. These will also help in achieving sustainable development goals, and in efforts to tackle climate change. This will prove to be very useful for our start-ups and MSME sector in exploring new markets, and in making their innovations global. Friends, We also discussed the many developments taking place at the regional and global level. We emphasized on having an Indo-Pacific region which is based on a free, open, inclusive and rules-based order. India welcomes the UK’s decision to join the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative. We stressed on dialogue and diplomacy for an immediate ceasefire and resolution of the problem in Ukraine. We also reiterated the importance of respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all countries. We reiterated our support for a peaceful, stable and secure Afghanistan having an inclusive and representative government. It is essential that Afghan territory must not be used to spread terrorism in other countries. Excellency, You have always made special efforts to strengthen the relationship between India and the UK. For this we commend you. Once again, a warm welcome to you and your delegation to India.

The programme also witnessed the exchange of MoUs between IN-SPACe and private sector companies working in the field of space-based applications and services. The promotion and enabling of private entities in the space sector will provide a major fillip to the space sector and open up new vistas of opportunity for India’s talented youth. Union Minister Shri Amit Shah, Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel and representatives of the space industry were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that a wonderful chapter has been added in the development journey of modern India in the 21st century and congratulated all the countrymen, and the scientific community for the headquarters of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center i.e. IN-SPACe. The Prime Minister termed the launch of IN-SPACe as a ‘watch this space’ moment for the Indian space industry as it is a precursor to many development and opportunities. He said “IN-SPACe will give an opportunity to the youth of India to showcase their talent to the best minds of India. Whether they are working in the government or in the private sector, IN-SPACe will create great opportunities for all.” The Prime Minister further elaborated “IN-SPACe has the potential to revolutionize India’s space industry. So this is what I would say – ‘Watch this space’. IN-SPACe is for space, IN-SPACe is for pace, and IN-SPACe is for ace.” The Prime Minister said that for a very long time, the private sector in the space industry has been viewed merely as a vendor, a system that always blocked the ways of progress for the private sector in the industry. The Prime Minister said only big ideas make winners. By reforming the space sector, freeing it from all restrictions, by supporting the private industry through IN-SPACe, the country is starting a campaign to make winners today. The private sector will not just remain a vendor but will play the role of a big winner in the space sector. When the strength of government space institutions and the passion of India’s private sector will meet, not even the sky will be the limit, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister said that in the earlier system, India’s youth was not getting the opportunities to realize their potential fully. Indian youth bring innovation, energy and a spirit of exploration with them. It has been the misfortune of the country that with time, the difference between regulation and restriction was forgotten. Today we cannot put the condition of only the government route for carrying out their plans before our youth, the Prime Minister emphasized. He elaborated that the era for such restrictions is over and the government is removing all such restrictions from the path of our youth. He listed the opening of defence production, modern drone policy, geo-spatial data guidelines, and work from anywhere facility in the telecom/IT sector as examples of the government’s intentions. The Prime Minister stressed that it is our endeavour to create maximum Ease of Doing Business environment for the private sector of India so that the private sector of the country helps the countrymen equally in the Ease of Living. The Prime Minister remarked “whether one is a scientist or a farmer-labourer, understands the techniques of science or does not understand, transcending all that, our space mission becomes the mission of all the people of the country. We saw this emotional solidarity of India during Mission Chandrayaan.” He expressed happiness that more than 60 private companies are leading in the country’s space sectors with advanced preparation. He singled out ISRO for bringing out this momentous change in the space sector of the country. He reiterated the importance of the step of opening up the space sector and credited the expertise and determination of ISRO for this initiative. India’s space programme has been the biggest identity of Aatmnirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, he said. “Space-tech is about to become the basis of a major revolution in the 21st century. Space-tech is now going to become a technology not only of distant space but of our personal space”, the Prime Minister pointed out. He said that IN-SPACe needs to work continuously for making the gains of space technology accessible to the people of the country. The Prime Minister said that data collected by the private space companies is going to give them huge power in future. He said that the global space industry is valued at 400 billion US dollars and has a potential to become a 1 trillion dollar industry by 2040. He emphasized that India needs to increase its share in the global space industry and the private sector will play a big role in that. The Prime Minister also saw a strong role for India in the fields of space tourism and space diplomacy. He stressed that there are infinite possibilities in our country but infinite possibilities can never be realized with limited efforts. I assure you that this process of reforms in the space sector will continue uninterruptedly, he assured. The private sector must be heard and understood and business possibilities should be analyzed properly, for this, the Prime Minister said, a strong mechanism has been put in place. IN-SPACe will act as a single window, independent nodal agency to take care of all the needs of the private sector. India is working on a New Indian Space Policy for coordinating between government companies, space industries, startups and institutions. We are soon going to bring a policy to improve ease of doing business in the space sector, the Prime Minister informed. He said the future of humanity, its development… there are two areas that are going to be most influential in the coming days, they are – Space and Sea. India needs to move forward without delay in these areas, he said. He said there is a need to increase awareness about the strides and reforms by India in this field. He informed that Atal Tinkering Labs in schools are playing a role in this and he took initiative to create a viewing gallery for 10 thousand people to witness the launch of satellites at Sriharikota. The Prime Minister expressed happiness that Gujarat is fast becoming a centre of big institutions of national and international level. He listed WHO Global Centre of Traditional Medicine at Jamnagar, Rashtriya Raskhsa University, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, National Innovation Foundation, Children’s University, Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and geoinformatics-BISAG and, now, IN-SPACe. He invited youth from all over India, especially from Gujarat, to take full advantage of these institutions. The establishment of IN-SPACe was announced in June 2020. It is an autonomous and single window nodal agency in the Department of Space for the promotion, encouragement and regulation of space activities of both government and private entities. It also facilitates the usage of ISRO facilities by private entities.",আহমেদাবাদৰ বোপালত IN-SPACe ৰ মুখ্য কাৰ্যালয় উদ্বোধন কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-mahatma-gandhi-museum-at-rajkot/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today inaugurated the Mahatma Gandhi Museum in Rajkot.

He witnessed the e-Gruh Pravesh of 240 beneficiary families. Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said there is so much to learn from Mahatma Gandhi. Gujarat is blessed that this is the land that is so closely associated with Bapu, he added. Noting that Bapu was concerned about the environment, the Prime Minister said that inspired by Gandhi Ji, we have to work for a cleaner and greener tomorrow. The Prime Minister recalled that Bapu always taught us to think of the last person in the queue, the poorest person, and serve the underprivileged. Inspired by this ideal we are serving the poor, the Prime Minister added. Through our initiatives we want to transform their lives; we want to build homes for the poor, the Prime Minister said. It has been over seventy years since Independence, but Bapu’s dream of a Swachh Bharat remains unfulfilled, the Prime Minister said. Together, we have to fulfil this dream, the Prime Minister exhorted the people. In the last four years we have covered significant ground in the Swachh Bharat Mission but we must continue to do more, the Prime Minister said.

These projects in Junagadh include the improvement of coastal highways along with the construction of missing links, two water supply projects and the construction of a godown complex for storage of Agri products. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for the holistic development of Shri Krishan Rukshamani Mandir, Madhavpur and sewage and water supply projects and for maintenance dredging at Porbandar Fishery Harbour. At Gir Somnath, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of two projects, including the development of a fishing port at Madhwad. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister on a lighter note said that Diwali and Dhanteras have arrived early and the preparations for new year celebrations are already underway for the people of Junagadh. Extending gratitude to everyone present on occasion, the Prime Minister thanked the people for their blessings. The Prime Minister expressed happiness for dedicating and laying the foundation stones of projects that were worth more than the state’s budget in earlier times. He said that this is all due to the blessings of the people of Gujarat. The Prime Minister termed the area comprising Junagadh, Gir Somnath and Porbandar as the tourism capital of Gujarat. He said the projects that are being planned today will create huge opportunities for employment and self-employment. “My chest swells with pride today”, the Prime Minister remarked and credited it to the people of Gujarat and their blessings. The Prime Minister highlighted that even after he left Gujarat to take up responsibilities at the Centre, it was the team of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel who took care of Gujarat with the same set of values and traditions. “Today, Gujarat is developing at a rapid pace”, the Prime Minister said, He recalled the tough times of drought and migration from the region. He said even nature helps the people who work with dedication and authenticity as in the last two decades climate adversities also got reduced. “With people’s blessing on the one hand and nature’s support on the other, it is a pleasure to spend one’s life in the service of people”, the Prime Minister said. Maa Narmada, the Prime Minister pointed out, was a distant place of pilgrimage, with the hard work of people, Maa Narmada has reached villages of Saurashtra to give her blessings. The Prime Minister lauded the farmers of Junagadh for promoting natural farming with full dedication. The Prime Minister highlighted that the taste of Kesar Mangoes grown in Gujarat is reaching every part of the world. Speaking about the vast coastal regions of India, the Prime Minister pointed out that a large chunk of India’s coastline belongs to Gujarat. Recalling the past governments that treated the seas like a burden and its fresh air poison, Shri Modi interjected that times have now changed. “The same seas that were considered as adversity are now reaping the benefits of our efforts.” The Rann of Kutch which was marred by troubles is now leading the way forward for the development of Gujarat, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister remarked that the resolve he took for the development of Gujarat 25 years ago has now come to fruition. The Prime Minister recalled that, as Chief Minister, he had launched the Sagar Khedu scheme for the welfare, security, amenities and infrastructure for the fishermen community. Due to these efforts, fish export from the state increased seven times. He remembered an instance with a Japanese delegation during his Chief Minister days when the delegation members asked to stop the presentation on the fisheries initiatives, as they could not control themselves after seeing the famous surmai fish on the screen and asked for a taste. Surmai fish is now well known in the Japanese market and substantial export takes place every year, he informed. “Double-engine government has brought double speed in the development works”, the Prime Minister said. Today itself, work started on three fishing harbours. The Prime Minister informed that for the first time ever farmers, animal husbandry workers and Sagar Khedu fishermen were connected to the services of Kisan Credit cards scheme and it simplified the process of availing a loan from the bank. “As a result, 3.5 crore beneficiaries are availing of its services,” Shri Modi added. The Prime Minister informed that it empowered the poor and needy of society to build a better future for themselves and their families. He further added that the interest would be waived off for those beneficiaries who repaid their loans on time. “The Kisan Credit Card has made life a lot easier, especially for our animal husbandry workers and the fishermen community”, the Prime Minister said. “In the last two decades”, the Prime Minister continued, “the tremendous development of the seaports has opened the floodgates of prosperity for Gujarat. It has opened up new possibilities for Gujarat.” Throwing light on the Sagar Mala Scheme, the Prime Minister informed that the government has taken the initiative to embolden the infrastructure on the coasts of India by not just developing the seaports but by executing port-led development. “The coasts have Gujarat have witnessed many new projects based on this”, the Prime Minister continued, “Apart from Junagadh, the new Coastal Highway is going to pass through many districts of Porbandar, Jamnagar, Devbhoomi Dwarka, Morbi to Central and South Gujarat which will strengthen the connectivity of the entire coastline of Gujarat.” The Prime Minister praised the tremendous work done by the mothers and sisters of the state and said that they become a protective shield. Highlighting the efforts of the Central Government towards women-led development in the last 8 years, the Prime Minister said that steps have been ensured at every level to make the lives of mothers and sisters easier. The Prime Minister pointed out the improving the health and respect of women and credited it to the construction of crores of toilets under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The Prime Minister mentioned that Ujjwala Yojana is helping the women not just by saving them time but also improving their health as well as the health of the entire family. The Prime Minister brushed off the times of previous governments who would celebrate after delivering a few water handpumps in a village with pomp and show and interjected, “Today your son is delivering piped water to every household.” Highlighting the Pradhan Mantri Matri Vandana Yojna, the Prime Minister informed that thousands of forms of help are being given to mothers during pregnancy through, so that they can eat nutritious food. “Most of the houses that our government is giving under the PM Awas Yojana are in the name of women”, he added “Today our government is giving wide expansion to women entrepreneurship in village-village through self-help groups. More than 8 crore sisters across the country are associated with self-help groups, of which lakhs are from Gujarat. Similarly, many sisters have become entrepreneurs for the first time under the Mudra Yojana. Speaking about the emphasis on the youth of the country, the Prime Minister said that for the last 8 years, we have taken many steps to enhance the potential of the youth across the country including Gujarat. Efforts are being made to create new opportunities in every aspect from education to employment and self-employment. Today the government is helping the youth at every step of entrepreneurship. Speaking about the DefExpo2022 that the Prime Minister inaugurated in Gandhinagar earlier in the day, the Prime Minister said that the day is not far when Gujarat will be manufacturing tanks. The Prime Minister also highlighted the strides made by the state in the education field. He said, during the last 8 years hundreds of universities opened in the country. Gujarat is witnessing the opening of many quality institutions of higher education. New National Education Policy is bringing new opportunities in Gujarati language. Similarly, digital developments are creating new opportunities for the youth of Gujarat. “Digital India has given new opportunities to the youth of Gujarat to hone their various talents, This has created new employment opportunities. The youth have access to the big market. And this is happening because of cheap Made in India mobile phones and cheap data facilities”, he said. The Prime Minister pointed out that growing infrastructure is promoting tourism in a big way. He said one of the biggest ropeways is functional now in the area. The Prime Minister said after many years, in April this year, flights have started again from Keshod Airport. When Keshod Airport is further developed, when it becomes a cargo facility, it will be easier to ship out our fruits, vegetables, fish and other products from here. With the expansion of Keshod Airport, the country and the world will get more access to all such places here, the tourism here will increase further, he added. The Country rejoices as one in the national achievements in space, science or sports fields, however, the Prime Minister lamented the growing tendency to politicize the achievements of Gujarat and its people by certain sections. “Some political parties have made abusing Gujarat their political ideology”, the Prime Minister said. We will never tolerate the insult of Gujaratis or for that matter people of any state of the country, he emphasized. We should not allow the dilution of the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ and the dreams of Sardar Patel. He stressed the need to convert cynicism into hope and counter falsehood through development. He said Gujarat’s unity is its strength. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Members of Parliament, Shri Rajeshbhai Chudasama and Shri Ramesh Dhaduk, and Ministers from Gujarat Government, Shri Rushikesh Patel and Shri Devabhai Malam were those present on the occasion among others. Background The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for the improvement of coastal highways along with the construction of missing links. In the first phase of this project, a total highway length of over 270 Km will be covered across 13 districts. Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of two water supply projects and for the construction of a godown complex for storage of Agri products at Junagadh.

This day also marks Vat Purnima as well as the birth anniversary of Sant Kabir. I extend my best wishes to all the countrymen. We have all come together today for a great event. I am very happy to inaugurate this Gallery of Revolutionaries, dedicated to the heroes of the Freedom War. Friends, This Raj Bhawan of Maharashtra has been witness to many democratic events in the previous decades. It has also been a witness to the resolutions that were taken in the form of oaths here in the interest of the Constitution and the nation. Now the Jal Bhushan Bhawan and the Gallery of Indian Revolutionaries built in the Raj Bhawan have been inaugurated here. I also got the opportunity to participate in the ‘Dwar Pujan’ of the Governor’s residence and office. I hope this new building infuses new energy in all the people of Maharashtra as well as the governance of Maharashtra. The Governor too has said that this is not a Raj Bhawan but a Lok Bhawan. I believe that it will emerge as a ray of hope for the people in the true sense. And I extend my heartiest congratulations to all the friends here on this momentous occasion. I also congratulate the historian Vikram Sampath ji and all the other friends associated with the creation of ‘Kranti Gatha’. Friends, I have been to the Raj Bhawan many times before. I have stayed there several times. I am glad that while preserving the glorious art and old history of this building, you have also embraced modernity. It also shows the role of this place in bravery, faith, spirituality and freedom movement according to the great tradition of Maharashtra. This place is not far from the place where Pujya Bapu had started the Quit India Movement. This building has witnessed the removing the symbol of slavery at the time of independence and the tricolour being hoisted with pride. Now the new construction and the place dedicated to our freedom fighters here will further strengthen the values of patriotism. Friends, Today’s event is also significant because the country is celebrating 75 years of its independence i.e. ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. This is the time to commemorate every brave hero, every fighter, every great personality, who had contributed to the country’s independence and its prosperity. Maharashtra has inspired the country in various fields. Speaking of social revolutions, there is a very rich legacy of social reformers like Jagatguru Shri Sant Tukaram Maharaj and Babasaheb Ambedkar. Before coming here, I was in Dehu where I had the privilege of inaugurating the Sant Tukaram Shila Mandir. In Maharashtra, saints like Sant Dnyaneshwar, Sant Namdev, Samarth Ramdas, Sant Chokhamela have inspired the country. If we talk about Swarajya, then the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj still strengthens the feeling of patriotism in every Indian. When it comes to freedom, Maharashtra has produced countless such brave fighters who sacrificed everything for freedom. Today I can see the expanse of this ocean from the Durbar Hall and it reminds us of the valour of Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar ji. The way he turned every torture into the urge for freedom is going to inspire every generation. Friends, When we talk about India’s independence, knowingly or unknowingly we limit it to a few incidents but India’s independence has involved the efforts and sacrifices of countless people. The various incidents at the local level had created a collective national impact. The means were different but the resolution was the same. Lokmanya Tilak used his own methodology while the Chapekar brothers, who were inspired by him, paved the way for freedom in their own way. Vasudev Balwant Phadke had left his job and adopted the path of armed revolution, while Madam Bhikhaji Cama had sacrificed her affluent life and lit the flame of freedom. The source of inspiration for our present day tricolor was the flag designed by freedom fighters like Madam Cama and Shyamji Krishna Varma. Irrespective of the social, familial and ideological roles, irrespective of the location of the movement in the country or abroad, the goal was one – complete independence for India. Friends, Our freedom movement was both local and global in nature. Like, the Ghadar Party was national at heart but was also global in scale. Shyamji Krishna Varma’s India House was an organization of Indians in London but the mission was India’s independence. The Azad Hind government under the leadership of Netaji was dedicated to Indian interests, but its scope was global. This is the reason that the freedom movement of India inspired the freedom movements of many other countries of the world. This spirit of local to global is also the strength of our ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’. The local products of India are being given national and international recognition through the ”Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’. I am sure that the people visiting the “Gallery of Indian Revolutionaries” will get new inspiration to fulfill the national resolutions and develop the feeling of doing something for the country. Friends, In the last 7 decades, Maharashtra has always played a crucial role in the development of the nation. Mumbai is definitely the city of dreams! But there are many such cities in Maharashtra which are going to be the growth centres of the country in the 21st century. With this thinking, on one hand the infrastructure of Mumbai is being modernized and at the same time modern facilities are being increased in other cities as well. Today, when we see the phenomenal improvement in Mumbai Local trains, when we look at the expansion of the metro network in several cities, when we see every corner of Maharashtra being connected with the modern National Highway, we can feel the positivity of development. All of us are also witnessing the fact that today a new aspiration for development has awakened even in the tribal districts that had been left behind in the journey of development. Friends, In this ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’, we all have to ensure that every piece of work we are doing and our respective roles strengthen our national resolve. This is the way of rapid development of India. Therefore, I want to reiterate the call for ‘Sabka Prayas’ in the development of the nation. We as a nation have to move forward with the spirit of mutual cooperation. We need to give strength to each other. With the same spirit, I once again congratulate everyone for the Jal Bhushan Bhawan and the Gallery of Indian Revolutionaries. And probably the people will make fun of us that Raj Bhawan has been a hub of activities for the past 75 years but no one knew about the bunker below for seven decades! That is, how indifferent we are to our own heritage! But Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav has helped us move in the direction of digging and understanding the pages of our history. We also saw the picture of Shyamji Krishna Varma. You will be surprised to know how decisions used to be taken in the country. Lokmanya Tilak had written a letter to Shyamji Krishna Varma and had told him – “I am sending a promising young man like Swatantraya Veer Savarkar. Please help in arranging for his accommodation”. Shyamji Krishna Varma was such a personality. Swami Vivekananda used to go to satsang with him. And India House in London had become a kind of hotspot for nationalist activities under the nose of the British. Shyamji Krishna Varma ji had passed away in 1930. He had wished – “My ashes should be preserved until India is free and should be taken to the land of free India”. It’s almost 100 years since that incident. Hearing this incident of 1930, you too might be getting goose-bumps. But see the misfortune of my country! The person who had died for the country in 1930, whose only wish was that his ashes be taken to the land of free India, so that at least his remains could feel the taste of freedom as he couldn’t do so when he was alive. He had no other expectation. Don’t you think this work should have been done the very next day of 15th August, 1947? But it was not done. And perhaps that was an indication from God. In 2003, after 73 years, I had had the privilege of bringing those ashes to India. Friends, the ashes of a son of Mother India kept waiting. I had the good fortune of carrying it on my shoulders and I had landed here at the Mumbai airport with the ashes. And from here I went to Gujarat after undertaking the Veeranjali Yatra. And Mandvi, Kutch was the place of his birth. So, a similar India House was built there. And thousands of students go there and experience this saga of revolutionaries. Today the bunker which no one even knew about, in which such things were kept that were to be used to eliminate the revolutionaries of India; the same bunker has now been turned into the Gallery of Revolutionaries where the names of my revolutionaries have been etched. My countrymen should have this feeling; that is when the young generation of the country gets inspired. And that is why this effort of Raj Bhawan is to be appreciated. I would particularly urge the people of the education department to take our students to such places. Whenever trips or tours are organized once or twice a year, we usually take the students to some big picnic spots. Can we make it a habit to take them to places like Andaman and Nicobar to show them the prison where Veer Savarkar had spent his entire youth? Can we sometimes take them to this bunker and show them how these brave men had sacrificed their lives for the country and the countless people who had fought for our freedom? And in a country like India, there would not be a single day in the colonial period of 1000-1200 years when the cry for freedom was not awakened in one or the other corner of the country. There has been this single minded mission for 1200 years; this spirit belongs to the people of this country. We have to know it, recognise it and try once again to live it and we can do that! Friends, That’s why I consider today’s occasion important in many ways. I want this area to become the hub of inspiration for the young generation of the country in a true sense. I congratulate everyone for this effort. I am ending my speech by thanking you all!",মুম্বাইৰ ৰাজ ভৱনত জল ভূষণ বিল্ডিং আৰু গেলেৰী অৱ ৰিভল্যুচনেৰীছ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে আগবঢ়োৱা ভাষণৰ লিখিত ৰূপ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/dg-wto-calls-on-pm/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%8E-%E0%A6%A1/,"Mr. Roberto Azevệdo, Director General (DG) of the WTO, who is in New Delhi to attend the informal meeting of Ministers of WTO, called on the Prime Minister of India today.

Vanakkam! Greetings to everybody! There is an altogether different feeling for every Indian when he comes to Bali, Indonesia. I am also experiencing the same vibrations. The people and the place, with which India has had a relationship for thousands of years and about which one keeps hearing that many generations have come and gone in thousands of years, but the same tradition has continued generation after generation, gives a different feeling of joy. As I am talking to you while celebrating the traditions of Bali here, about 1500 kilometers away from Bali, there is a festival of Bali Jatra being celebrated on the banks of the Mahanadi River in the Indian city of Cuttack. What is this Bali Jatra? This festival celebrates thousands of years of trade relations between India and Indonesia. When the people of Indonesia will see the photographs of this year’s Bali Jatra on the internet, they will be really proud, happy and filled with enthusiasm. The Jatra faced problems due to the Corona, but now Bali Jatra is being celebrated in Odisha on a very large scale with grandeur, divinity and with participation of lakhs of people after several years. I am told that the people there are running a competition to commemorate Bali Jatra. They plan to float paper boats to create a world record. This means that the people who have gathered today in Odisha are physically there but their mind is in Bali, with you. Friends, During our conversation, we often say ‘It’s a small world’. But if we look at the relations between India and Indonesia, this fits perfectly. The huge waves of the sea have kept the relations between India and Indonesia full of enthusiasm and untiring. Our relations also remain afloat like those waves. There was a time when the philosophy and culture of India reached the Indonesian soil through kingdoms like Kalinga and Medang. And today India and Indonesia are working shoulder to shoulder with each other for development in the 21st century. Indonesia lovingly accepted the people who came from India and assimilated them in its society. This is why today all of you are contributing to the development and prosperity of Indonesia. Many of our Sindhi families live here. And our Sindhi family brothers and sisters who came from India have contributed a lot not only in the textile and the sports goods sectors, but also in the film and TV industry. There are many people from Gujarat who are involved in gems, diamonds, mines and even farming. Engineers, chartered accountants, professionals from India have become participants of Indonesia’s development. There are so many Tamil speaking artists who are contributing to further enrich the culture and arts here. I remember the Rashtrapati Bhavan of India was reverberating with thunderous applause when India honored Nyoman Nuarta of Indonesia with Padma Shri about 3-4 years ago. There would hardly be any Indian who does not admire his work of art ‘Garuda Wisnu Kencana’. Similarly, I got to know a lot about Wayan Dibia and Agus Indra Udayana from Indonesia when they were awarded the Padma Shri. You are well aware of Agus Indra Udayana ji who is also present here today. He is working hard to take forward the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi in Bali. In one of his interviews, he said that the biggest specialty of India is ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ which is in the veins of every Indian. I liked reading the interview, but I would like to say one more thing that India may have been praised for its affinity, but the affection of the people of Indonesia is no less. When I came to Jakarta last time, I saw and experienced the affection and love of the people of Indonesia. There was so much respect, honour, love, affection and affinity for me. I remember the fun I had flying kites with President Joko Widodo. We both went to fly kites. It was wonderful. I have a lot of experience flying kites on Sankranti in Gujarat and I know that people also fly a lot of kites on Sankranti in Indonesia. And it is not that the association of India and Indonesia is only during happier times. We are companions in both happiness and sorrow. When a huge earthquake hit Indonesia in 2018, India immediately launched Operation Samudra Maitri. When I came to Jakarta that year I said one thing that there may be a distance of 90 nautical miles between India and Indonesia but in reality we are not 90 nautical miles away, we are 90 nautical miles closer. Friends, There is so much that India and Indonesia together have preserved every moment. This land of Bali is sanctified by the penance of Maharishi Markandeya and Maharishi Agastya. If there are Himalayas in India, then there is Mount Agung in Bali. If there is Ganga in India, then there is Tirta Gangga in Bali. We also worship Lord Ganesh for every auspicious work in India and here also Lord Ganesh is in every house and spreading auspiciousness in public places. There are countless things like the fasting during a full moon, the glory of Ekadashi, the tradition of Sun worship through Trikal Sandhya, the worship of knowledge in the form of Maa Saraswati which keeps us connected. The people of Bali grow up with the stories of the Mahabharata. And I have grown up in Dwarkadhish, the land of Lord Krishna, in Gujarat. My life has been spent there. The kind of faith that the people of Bali have for the Mahabharata, the people of India have the same affinity for the people of Bali. You worship Lord Vishnu and Lord Rama here and we proudly remember the Ramayana tradition of Indonesia when the foundation stone of the grand Ram temple is laid on the birthplace of Lord Rama in India. A few years ago, many artists from Indonesia came to India when we organized the Ramayana festival. They performed in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Lucknow before coming to Ayodhya in their final leg. The closing ceremony took place in Ayodhya and it drew a lot of applause. Newspapers across India were full of praise for their performance. Brothers and sisters, There would be hardly any person in Bali who would not wish to visit Ayodhya or Dwarka once in his lifetime. In India too, people are very eager to visit the Prambanan Temples and the grand statue of Garuda Wisnu Kencana. The visit of more than five lakh Indians to Bali in a year before the Corona period is testimony to this. Friends, When there is common heritage, when faith towards humanity is common, then common paths are made for progress. A few months back, India completed 75 years of its independence on August 15. Indonesia’s Independence Day falls on 17th August, two days after India’s Independence Day, but Indonesia had the privilege of becoming independent two years earlier than India. India has a lot to learn from Indonesia and India also has a lot to contribute to Indonesia from its 75 years of development journey. India’s talent, technology, innovation and industries have created their own identity in the world. Today there are innumerable companies in the world whose CEOs are of Indian origin. Today, one out of ten unicorns in the world is from India. Today India is the fastest growing economy in the world. Today India tops the world in digital transactions. Today India is number one in the world in terms of global fintech. Today India is leading the world in outsourcing for ITBPN. Today India tops the world in smartphone data consumption. Today India is leading in the supply of many medicines and in the manufacturing of many vaccines. Friends, There is a big difference between India before 2014 and after 2014. The big difference is not because of Modi. The big difference is in speed and skill. Today India is working at an unprecedented speed and on an unimaginable scale. Now India doesn’t think small. If it builds a statue, it is the biggest in the world. If it builds a stadium, it will be the biggest in the world. India has opened more than 320 million bank accounts since 2014. This means that we have opened as many bank accounts as the total population of America. India has built free houses for about 30 million poor citizens since 2014. When a person owns a house, he becomes ‘lakhpati’. And when I talk about 30 million houses, what does it mean? It means that we have built houses equivalent to not only every family, but every citizen of Australia. India has built 55,000 kilometers of national highways in the last seven-eight years. I am talking about the scale and it is equal to one and a half rounds of the earth. Today, India is providing free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh to all the people under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The government bears the expenses of the medical bills up to Rs. 5 lakh. How many people get the benefit of this scheme? The medical facilities up to Rs 5 lakh are available to more people than the total population of the entire European Union. If I calculate the number of free vaccine doses that India administered to its citizens during the Corona period, then it is two-and-a-half times more than the combined population of both America and the European Union. Does not your chest swell with pride when you hear this? Does not your head hold high? Therefore, I say India has changed. Friends, Taking pride in its heritage, enriching its heritage and staying connected to its roots, India has now set out with the goal of making a developed India with the goal of touching the sky. But this goal of India is not only for us. We are not selfish people and we do not have these kinds of values. Today, the world has expectations from India in the 21st century. India considers these expectations as its responsibility and we are determined to move forward for the betterment of the world. Today, when India prepares the road map of ‘Amrit Kaal’ for its development, it also includes the economic and political aspirations of the world. Today, when India puts forward the vision of a self-reliant India, it also includes the spirit of global welfare. India has given the mantra of ‘One Sun, One World, One Grid’ in the field of renewable energy. India has launched ‘One Earth, One Health’ campaign to strengthen global well-being. India is working as a boon for the island countries while dealing with the challenge of climate change. To deal with the problems of climate change, India has given the solution in the form of ‘Mission LiFE’ to the world. The ‘Mission LiFE’ means lifestyle for environment, i.e., imbibing such a lifestyle by every citizen of the earth which is environment friendly and which meets the challenge of climate change every moment. Today, when the whole world is getting attracted towards environment friendly and holistic healthcare, then India’s Yoga and Ayurveda are gifts for the entire humanity. And friends, when it comes to Ayurveda, I am reminded of another connection between India and Indonesia. When I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, there was an agreement between the Gujarat Ayurvedic University and the Universitas Hindu Indonesia. I am happy that an Ayurveda hospital was also established in this university here after a few years. Friends, ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, i.e., this spirit of India to consider the whole world as one family paves the way for global welfare. India achieved self-sufficiency in essential resources ranging from medicines to vaccines during the Corona period and the whole world got its benefit. India’s potential worked as a protective shield for many countries. We have stood shoulder to shoulder especially with our neighbors and friendly countries like Indonesia. Similarly, today India is emerging as a major global superpower in the field of space and South Asian countries are especially getting its benefits. India, which was dependent on foreign imports for decades in the field of defence, is increasing its capabilities today. The attraction for BrahMos missile or Tejas fighter plane is continuously increasing in the world. Today India is setting big goals and working hard to achieve them. This mantra of success through determination has become the inspiration of the new India of the 21st century. Today, on this occasion, I also invite you for the next ‘Pravasi Bharatiya Sammelan’. This program takes place on 9th January. This time this event will be held in Indore in Madhya Pradesh and Indore is the city which has been the cleanest city in the country for the last 5-6 times. You must join the Pravasi Bhartiya program in Indore and adjust your dates accordingly. When you come to Indore, there is a kite festival in Ahmedabad after 1-2 days. Is it possible that people from Indonesia do not take part in the kite festival? And when you come, don’t come alone and don’t come only with your family. Bring some Indonesian families along too. I am sure that your cooperation and active contribution in strengthening the relations between India and Indonesia will continue. All of you should continue for the welfare of your ‘Karmabhoomi’ and you should contribute as much as you can. This is the ethos of India. It is also our responsibility. I can see many friends from Bohra society here. And it has been my good fortune that I have had a very close association with Syedna Sahib. I feel very happy when I see my Bohra family during my visit to any part of the world. Friends, You came here in such large numbers, took out time and are full of enthusiasm. I see the same enthusiasm here as there is in the Bali Jatra in Odisha. I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for your love, affection and devotion towards India. Many best wishes to you!

The Prime Minister also inaugurated the India Urban Housing Conclave 2022. The Prime Minister dedicated over 1100 houses constructed under the Light House Project. Other projects being dedicated by the Prime Minister include a water supply project: Morbi-Bulk pipeline project from Brahmani-2 Dam to Narmada Canal Pumping Station, a regional Science Centre, flyover bridges and other projects related to road connectivity. The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of six laning of the existing four-lane of Rajkot-Gondal-Jetpur section of NH27 in Gujarat. He also laid the foundation stone of GIDC industrial estates worth around Rs 2950 crore at various locations in Morbi, Rajkot, Botad, Jamnagar and Kutch. Other projects whose foundation stones are being laid include the AMUL-fed dairy plant at Gadhka, the construction of an indoor sports complex in Rajkot, two water supply projects and other projects in the roads and railways sector. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister noted that this is the time of the year when new resolutions are taken and new beginnings are made. At a time, some projects related to the development of Kathiawar including Rajkot have been completed today and some new projects have started. These projects related to connectivity, industry, water, and public facilities are going to make life easier here. He said that out of 6 places in the country, Rajkot is one of the places for the Light House project and 1144 houses constructed with the latest technology were dedicated today. The joy of handing over hundreds of poor families of Rajkot to the best houses made with modern technology before Diwali is something else. “I would especially congratulate the sisters who became the owners of these houses and wish that this Diwali, Lakshmi resides in this new house of yours,” he wished In the last 21 years, the Prime Minister reminisced, together that we have dreamt, taken many steps, and also achieved many successes. “Rajkot kept on teaching me and I kept on learning. Rajkot was my first school”, he said. He recalled that Rajkot was also a place where Mahatma Gandhi also came for learning. I can never repay your debt, the Prime Minister said. The biggest proof of our success as a student is the peers who are studying in today’s school-college, or who are in the early stages of their careers. The Prime Minister talked about the improved law and order situation in Rajkot and in the entire state. “When I see young friends roaming outside without fear till late at night, doing the important work of their life, it gives me immense satisfaction. Satisfaction comes from the fact that we spent the day and night getting rid of criminals, mafia, rioters, terrorists, and occupation gangs and our efforts did not go in vain. It is a pleasure to see the peace and harmony with which every parent is working hard for the better future of their children here”, he said. The Prime Minister continued, “In the last decades, it has been our constant endeavour that every Gujarati should be able and capable as much as possible. Whatever environment is needed for this, wherever it is to be encouraged, that government is doing it. We have been moving ahead with the mantra of ‘Developed Gujarat for a developed India’. The Prime Minister informed that while, on one hand, we gave thrust to industries, and investments through the Vibrant Gujarat campaign, on the other hand, we took the initiative to empower the village and the poor through Krishi Mahotsav and Garib Kalyan Melas. And we have seen, when the poor are empowered, they start making fast ways out of poverty.” The Prime Minister explained that without a life of basic facilities and dignity it is impossible to come out of poverty. He said a house equipped with toilets, electricity, piped water, cooking gas and internet connectivity is something that is being ensured for the poor. Similarly, one bout of disease is sufficient to push families into penury. That is why schemes like Ayushman Bharat and PMJAY-MA were brought to ensure free quality treatment for poor families. “The earlier governments”, the Prime Minister said, “did not understand this condition of the poor, the feelings of the poor. This is the reason why the slogan of Gareebi hatao, Roti-Kapda-Makaan, which was given decades ago, remained just a slogan. Slogans were shouted and votes were gained and selfish interests were served”, he said. In the last 8 years, the Prime Minister informed, more than 3 crore pucca houses have been given to the poor in villages and cities of the country. During this, 10 lakh pucca houses have been approved for the poor in the cities of Gujarat and 7 lakh have been already completed. “Bhupendra Bhai and his team are doing a commendable job in building homes for the poor. Not only the poor but we also took the first steps to fulfil the dream of our own house of the middle class”, he said. The central government has given about 11 thousand crore rupees to lakhs of middle-class families in Gujarat for their own homes. Not only this, workers who come for work in fellow cities should also get better houses with less rent. Work is going on at a rapid pace on this scheme”, he informed. “The previous governments constructed houses for the poor not as a responsibility but as a favour. We changed the ways”, Shri Modi remarked. The Prime Minister informed that the occupants of the houses were given complete control and freedom over building their own house and decorating it the way they wanted to. “It is our constant effort to make the house of the poor better”, Shri Modi added. He highlighted that the Light House project of Rajkot is one such effort. Remarking on its success, the Prime Minister pointed out that a lot of people from different parts of the country have come to see this model in Rajkot. “Today, Gujarat has not only got more than 11 hundred houses made with modern technology, but it is also great news for lakhs of poor families who are going to get pucca houses in future”, the Prime Minister said. Highlighting the benefits, the Prime Minister said that these modern homes in Rajkot are a huge step in the direction of making affordable homes at a rapid pace in the country. “This is going to bring a revolutionary change in the housing sector”, he added. The Prime Minister further added that the Government has also taken the initiative to prepare our own youth for self-reliance in this type of technology by training thousands of youth and encouraging new start-ups in the country. The Prime Minister pointed out that beyond roads, bazaars, malls, and plazas, urban life also has another responsibility. “For the first time, our government has understood the responsibility of the street vendors. For the first time, we have connected them to the bank. Today these colleagues are also getting easy loans through Svanidhi scheme and they can think of expanding their business. Today you see, these vendors are giving strength to Digital India through digital transactions. Noting the number of MSMEs in Rajkot, the Prime Minister said the city has a great reputation as an industrial city and as a hotbed of MSMEs. He further added that there is hardly any part of the country which does not use any material such as pumps, machines and tools that are made in Rajkot. Giving examples such as Falcon Pump, Fieldmarshal, Angel Pump, Flowtech Engineering, Jalganga Pump, Silver Pup, Rotech Pump, Siddhi Engineers, Gujarat Forging, and Topland, the Prime Minister said that these products from Rajkot are making a mark in the country and the world. “In the last two decades”, he said, “the export of engineering-related things from Rajkot has exceeded 5 thousand crore rupees.” He noted that the number of factories has more than doubled and the number of workers has also increased manifold. Due to the entire ecosystem, thousands of other people have also got employment here. Similarly, Morbi has also done a wonderful job. The Prime Minister informed that ceramic tiles from Morbi are famous all over the world. “More than 13 percent of the world’s ceramics are produced in Morbi alone”, he said. The Prime Minister informed that Morbi is also known as the Town of Export Excellence. “Be it walls, floors, bathrooms and toilets, they are incomplete without Morbi.” He informed that a ceramics park is being built in Morbi with an investment of 15 thousand crores. The Prime Minister concluded by complimenting the state government for its progressive industrial policy. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs, Shri Kaushal Kishore, Ex-Governor of Gujarat, Shri Vajubhai Vala, Ex-Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Vijay Rupani, and Members of Parliament, Shri Mohanbhai Kundariya and Shri Ramabhai Komariya were those present on the occasion among others.

He said the nation is today passing through a period of transformation. Asserting that India is today the fastest growing economy in the world, the Prime Minister said that as per an international report, poverty is declining in India at a record pace. He said that while the Government can only play the role of an enabler, it is the youth, who are not only making use of available opportunities, but also creating new ones themselves. Just like the aspirations and power of the youth, India is doing big, transformative things, the Prime Minister said. In this context he gave examples such as 3 crore children having been vaccinated; 1.75 lakh kilometres of rural roads built in the last 4 years; electricity reaching every single village; 85 lakh homes electrified since October 2017; 4.65 crore gas connections reaching the poor; and more than 1 crore homes being built for the poor in the last 4 years. He said these big numbers are possible because of the 800 million people of India under the age of 35. The Prime Minister gave the examples of many leaders in the country today, who have risen to high positions from extremely humble backgrounds. They understand what the youth of New India desires, he added. He said this changed environment is not just restricted to politics alone. He said several youth in the top administrative services are now from rural backgrounds or small towns. He said Hima Das, and other youngsters like her who are bringing home sporting medals, represent New India. Young India feels “Anything is possible! Everything is achievable,” the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said that silos are now being replaced by an emphasis on solutions. He said that focus is on understanding the needs of the nation, and making the lives of the people simpler. He explained how schemes and initiatives of the Government such as Bharatmala, Sagarmala, Mudra, Standup India, and Ayushman Bharat are designed to meet various needs of the country. He added that the Government is giving a lot of importance to innovation and research. The Prime Minister asserted that youth are driving the growth in digital payments.

In the 75th year of independence, we are taking an important step towards developing the capital of the country according to the needs and aspirations of the new India. This new Defence Office Complex will help our forces function more conveniently and effectively. I congratulate all the colleagues associated with the defence services for these new facilities. Friends, You all are aware that till now all the defence related work was being done from the hutments built during the Second World War. These hutments were then built to suit the needs of horse stables and barracks. In the decades after independence, such hutments were converted into the offices of the Ministry of Defence, Army, Navy and Air Force, and minor repairs were carried out from time to time. And if some higher officials were to come, a fresh coat of painting was done. And it went on like this. When I saw it closely, the first thought that came to my mind was how so many important army personnel work for the security of the country in such bad conditions. Why did our media in Delhi never write about this?A thought would come to my mind that such a place would naturally attract criticism that what the Indian government was doing? But I don’t know, nobody took note of it. You are also well aware of the problems in these hutments. Today, when we are engaged in modernizing the military might of the 21st century India in every respect, equipping (our armed forces) with modern weapons, modernizing the border infrastructure, ensuring better coordination through the Chief of Defence Staff of the forces, speeding up the procurement of the requirements of the army which used to go on for years,then how can this be possible that the work related to the defence and security of the country continues through decades-old hutments. Therefore, it was necessary to change these conditions. I would also like to point out that those who were criticizing the Central Vista project would remain silent on the complex being developed for more than 7,000 army officers, because this is also a part of the Central Vista project. They knew that their intention to spread confusion and lies would be exposed if they talked about this complex. But the country is watching our intentions behind this Central Vista. These modern offices at KG Marg and Africa Avenue will go a long way in effectively carrying out all the work related to the security of the nation. This is a big and important step towards the creation of a modern defence enclave in the capital. Every necessary facility has been provided for our jawans and employees in both the complexes. And I also want to tell the countrymen about what was going on in my mind. When you gave me the privilege to serve the country in 2014, I knew that the condition of government offices is not good. The condition of Parliament House was also not good. I could have done this work (of Parliament) in 2014, but I chose not to do it. The first thing I decided was to build a memorial for the brave soldiers of our country, who fought for India’s pride and were martyred for the motherland. The work which should have been done soon after independence began after 2014. It is only after its completion that we took up the work of the Central Vista to improve our offices. We first thought of the brave martyrs, the brave soldiers of our country. Friends, Along with this construction work that has taken place for official use, residential complexes have also been built here. Necessary arrangements like accommodation, kitchen, mess, modern facilities related to treatment have also been developed for the jawans who are engaged in the important security work 24×7. Proper connectivity has been kept in mind for thousands of retired soldiers who come here from all over the country for their pending official work so that they do not face much trouble. The best part is that the buildings that have been built are eco-friendly and the ancient look of the buildings, which is an identity of the capital, has been retained. Fascinating artworks of artists of India and symbols of AatmaNirbhar Bharat have been placed in the complexes here. By retaining the vitality of Delhi and protecting its environment, everyone will experience the modern form of our cultural diversity here. Friends, It has been more than 100 years since Delhi became the capital of India. In this period of more than 100 years, there has been a huge imbalance as far as the population and other conditions are concerned. When we talk about the capital, it is not just a city. The capital is a symbol of the thinking, determination, strength and the culture of that country. India is the mother of democracy. Therefore, the capital of India should be such that in the center of which should be its people. Today, when we are focusing on Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business, modern infrastructure plays an equally important role in this. This spirit is at the core of the work that is being done on Central Vista today. The details of this in the website linked to Central Vista which was launched today are on the display. Friends, Over the years, a lot of emphasis has been given to new constructions in Delhi keeping in mind the aspirations of the capital, whether there are new houses for elected representatives from all over the country, efforts to cherish the memories of Ambedkar ji, or many new buildings. It also includes national monuments related to the honor of our army and our martyrs. After so many decades, the national memorials for the martyrs of army, paramilitary forces and police force are making Delhi proud today. And an important feature is that most of them were completed before the stipulated time. Otherwise,delays are synonymous with the governments. The delay of 4-6 months is considered natural. We have made sincere efforts to introduce a new work culture in the government so that the country’s wealth is not wasted; work is done in a time-bound manner and in less than the projected expenditure. We are emphasizing professionalism and efficiency and a great example of efficiency in this approach is evident today. The Defence Office Complex has been completed in a record 12 months instead of 24 months i.e., 50 percent time has been saved. That too at a time when there were all kinds of challenges from labour shortage to others due to Corona. Hundreds of workers got employment in this project during the Corona period. All the labour companions, engineers, employees and officers deserve appreciation. The entire country congratulates all the people who have contributed to this sacred work of nation building at a time when there was so much fear of Corona and there were question marks between life and death. It shows that when the policy and intention is clear, the will is strong, the efforts are sincere, then nothing is impossible, everything is possible. I am sure, the construction of the new Parliament building of the country, as Hardeepji was confidently saying, will be completed within the stipulated time. Friends, The new construction technology has also played a big role in the rapid pace of construction. Instead of the conventional RCC construction, light gauge steel frame technology has been used in the Defence Office Complex. These buildings are safer from fire and other natural calamities due to new technology. With the construction of these new complexes, the annual cost of maintaining the old hutments spread over dozens of acres will also be saved. I am happy that there is focus on modern construction technology not only in Delhi but also in other cities of the country to develop smart facilities and to provide pucca houses to the poor. The ongoing lighthouse project in six cities of the country is a big experiment in this direction. New start ups are being encouraged in this sector. The speed and scale at which we have to transform our urban centers is possible only through the widespread use of new technology. Friends, These defence office complexes are a reflection of yet another change in the work culture and priority of the government. The priority is to utilize the available land. And it is not only the land, it is our belief and it is our endeavor that there should be optimum utilization of whatever resources or natural resources that we have. Unnecessary wastage of such wealth is no longer appropriate for the country and as a result of this approach emphasis is being laid on moving ahead with perfect planning on proper and optimum utilization of the lands held by different departments of the government. The new campuses have been built in about 13 acres of land. The countrymen should listen to this in the backdrop of those who keep on criticizing our every work. In such an important place like Delhi, these hutments were built over 62 acres of land. Now instead of 62 acres, the best and modern arrangements have been created in just 13 acres of land. This is the utilization of the country’s wealth. That is about 5 times less land has been used than before for such large and modern facilities. Friends, This mission of building a new self-reliant India in this epoch of independence, i.e. in the next 25 years, is possible only with the efforts of everyone. The new buildings support the initiative of the country to increase the productivity and efficiency of the government and instill confidence to realize that resolution. Be it a Common Central Secretariat, inter-connected conference halls, accessible connectivity through public transport like the metro, all these will go a long way in making the capital people friendly. With this wish that all of us achieve our goals rapidly, I once again wish you all the very best!

You all know that we have started a new tradition for the past two years. One, we have pre-poned the budget by a month and the budget comes into force from April 1. So, we get two months for preparation. And we are trying to ensure in the light of the budget, how can all the stakeholders like Private, Public, State Government, Central Government, different departments of the government get things off the ground as quickly as possible? How to get the seamless and optimum outcome? How can we be focused on that? All the suggestions from you to accomplish it will probably facilitate the government to simplify its decision process as well. The road map of implementation will also be better. Sometimes due to small things like a full stop or a comma, the files are stuck for months together. To avoid all those things we want to work with you guys. We would like to seek your suggestions. There is no point discussing about – “This discussion should have happened in the budget or that should have been done in the budget”. That is not possible now because that work has been done by the Parliament. Whatever has been decided in the budget is done, no point talking about it. But now, how should the benefits reach the public and the country in the best possible way? And how should we all work together? That’s what this discussion is about. You must have seen the decisions taken related to science and technology in this budget. All these decisions are really important. The implementation of budget announcements should be equally fast. This webinar is a collaborative effort in this direction. Friends, Science and technology is not just an isolated sector for our government. Today, our vision in the field of economy is related to the basic foundations like digital economy and Fintech. Our development vision in the field of infrastructure is based on advanced technology. Public services and last mile delivery are also now linked to digital platforms through data. Technology for us is a powerful medium to empower the common citizens of the country. For us, technology is the basis for making the country self-reliant. And when I talk about India’s self-reliance, even today you must have heard the speech of the US President Biden this morning. He has also talked about making America self-reliant. He has laid a great emphasis today for ‘Make in America’. And so we know the new systems that are being created in the world. Therefore, it is very important for us as well to move forward with self-reliance. And you must have seen that only those things have been emphasized in this budget. Friends, This time special emphasis has been laid on the sunrise sectors in our budget. Artificial Intelligence, Geospatial Systems, Drones, Semi-conductors and Space Technology, Genomics, Pharmaceuticals, Clean Technologies and 5G, all these sectors are the priority of the country today. The budget has also focused upon promoting thematic funds for sunrise sectors. You are aware that this year the budget has given a very clear roadmap for the 5G spectrum auctions. PLI scheme has been proposed in the budget for a strong 5G eco-system associated with design-led manufacturing in the country. I would especially urge the private sector to have detailed discussions on the new possibilities being created by these decisions. And with your concrete suggestions, we shall move forward with our concerted efforts. Friends, It is said that Science is Universal but Technology must be Local. We are familiar with the principles of science but how to make maximum use of technology for Ease of Living? We need to emphasize on this as well. Today we are building houses at a rapid pace. There is an unprecedented investment in rail-road, airway-waterway and optical fiber too. To bring more momentum to this, we are moving ahead with the vision of PM Gatishakti. We have to work on how technology can help this vision ceaselessly. You are aware that work is being done on 6 major light-house projects in the country in the housing sector. We are using modern technology in the construction of houses. We need your cooperation, active contribution and innovative ideas on how we can further accelerate it through technology. Today we are looking at Medical Science. Medical science has also become almost technology driven. Now more and more medical equipment should be manufactured in India. And keeping in mind the needs of India, we all have to pay attention to how technology can be used in that. And probably you can contribute more to that. Today you see, one sector that has grown so fast is gaming. Now it has become a huge market in the world. The young generation has joined it very fast. In this budget, we have laid a lot of emphasis on AVEGC – Animation Visual Effects Gaming Comic. In this direction too India’s IT coordination has earned its respect around the world. We can now build our strength in such a specific area. Can you raise your efforts in this direction? Similarly, there is a huge market for Indian toys as well. And the children today like to have some technology in their toys. Can we think about technology-related toys for the children of our country and its delivery to the market around the world? Similarly, we all need to give more impetus to our efforts to bring new technology in the communication sector. Servers should be in India only. Dependence on foreign countries should be minimized and security angles in terms of communication are being added more and more. We have to increase our efforts in this direction with great awareness. With regard to Fintech, India has done wonders in the past. People could never have imagined these sectors in our country. But today our villages are also getting involved in financial activities through mobile phones. This means that the inclusion of more and more modern technology in fintech is the need of the hour for us. It also ensures security. In February 2020, the country changed the old ways of dealing with geo-spatial data. This has opened up infinite new possibilities and new opportunities for the geo-spatial. Our private sector should take full advantage of the same. Friends, The world has witnessed our self-sustainability as well as our reliability in vaccine production at the time of Covid. We have to replicate this success in every sector. Our industries and you all have a massive responsibility in this area. A robust data security framework is also extremely vital in the country. Data governance is also necessary to take maximum advantage of data. In such a situation, we also need to set its standards and norms. Together you can frame a roadmap upon how to move forward in this direction. Friends, Today India has the third largest and fastest growing Start-up Eco-system in the world. I want to assure my start-ups that the government stands with them with all its might. A portal has also been proposed for skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling of youth in the budget. With this, youth will get the right jobs and opportunities through API based trusted skill credentials, payment and discovery layers. Friends, To promote manufacturing in the country, we have started a PLI scheme of Rs 2 lakh crore in 14 key sectors. I am expecting practical ideas to move forward in this direction from this webinar. You provide us with suggestions on its seamless implementation. How can we make better use of optic fiber for citizen services? How can even a student from our distant villages take advantage of India’s top most education system at home through this technology? How can he avail medical services? How can the farmers, my small farmers take advantage of innovation in agriculture with a mobile in his hand? Everything is available in the world. We have to connect it seamlessly. For this, I need innovative suggestions from all of you. Friends, The solution to challenges faced by the world related to technologies like e-waste should also come up through technology. I have a special request to you that in this webinar you should also focus on solutions like circular economy, e-waste management and electric mobility, to give a decisive solution to the country. I am sure that with your efforts the country will definitely reach its goals. And I want to reiterate that this webinar is not about the government serving you with knowledge. In this webinar, the government needs ideas from you instead. The government needs new methods from you so as to increase the speed. And can we do something in the first quarter itself with the assigned budget, with the money invested during the budget? Can you make a time-bound programme? I believe you are in this field and you know every detail – the difficulties etc. What can be done in the best possible way? What can be done to increase the pace? You all know it very well. We want to sit together and take this forward. I wish you all the very best for this webinar.

Present in the program are Governors and Chief Ministers of different states, my colleagues in the Council of Ministers, Smriti Irani ji, Dr. Mahendra Bhai and Darshana Jardosh ji, President of the National Commission for Women, Smt. Rekha Sharma ji, Chairpersons and members of all State Women’s Commissions, members of the volunteers’ associations, other dignitaries, brothers and sisters! Many congratulations to all of you on the 30 years of foundation of the National Commission for Women. The milestone of 30 years is very important, whether it is in the life of an individual or an organization. This is the period for new responsibilities and moving forward with new energy. I am sure the National Commission for Women is approaching the 30th year of its foundation in the same way. It should be more effective, more responsible and infused with new energy. Today the role of women is continuously expanding in changing India. Therefore, the expansion of the role of the National Commission for Women is also the need of the hour. In such a situation, all the women’s commissions of the country will also have to expand their scope and give a new direction to the women of their states. Friends, Today the resolution of a new India is before us in the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. Today the country is working on the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. The country will realize this goal of development for all only when all possibilities are equally open to all. As we are aware, the definition of business earlier revolved around big corporates and men only. But the truth is that for centuries India’s strength has been our small local industries, which we today dub MSMEs. The role of women in these industries is as much as that of men. You take the example of the textile industry, or pottery, or look at agriculture and milk products; there are so many industries whose essence is women’s power and women’s skills. But unfortunately, the strength of these industries was not recognized. Those who believed in old thinking had considered the skills of women as a matter of domestic work. It is necessary to change this old approach in order to advance the economy of the country. Make in India is doing exactly the same thing today. The AatmaNirbhar Bharat campaign is connecting the competence of women with the development of the country. And, the results are in front of us! Today, about 70 percent of the beneficiaries of the Mudra Yojana are women. Crores of women have started their enterprises with the help of this scheme and are providing employment to others as well. Similarly, the country is running the Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana to improve entrepreneurship among women through self-help groups. Such is the enthusiasm and strength of the women of the country that the number of self-help groups has increased three times in six-seven years. The same trend is visible in the startup ecosystem of India as well. Since 2016, more than 60,000 new start-ups have been formed in our country in 56 different sectors. It is a matter of pride for all of us that there is at least one woman director in 45 percent of these start-ups. Friends, The participation of women is increasing continuously in the growth cycle of New India. Women’s commissions should promote this role of women in the entrepreneurship of society as much as possible. You all have seen that the country has paid special attention to this in the last seven years. The increasing participation of women in the prestigious Padma award is yet another example. Since 2015, 185 women have been given the Padma award for their phenomenal work. This year also, 34 Padma awards have been given to women working in different fields. This is a record in itself. To date, never ever so many women have received the Padma award. Similarly, India’s daughters are doing wonders in the world of sports, winning medals for the country in the Olympics. Our nurses, doctors and women scientists have played a huge role in the country’s biggest fight against the corona pandemic. That is, the women power of India has proved its potential whenever it got an opportunity. Who knows better than all of you that a woman is also the best teacher and a trainer? Therefore, there is also a huge responsibility before all women commissions to create a new approach and capability from entrepreneurship to sports in India. Friends, You all are witnesses that the policies of the country have become more sensitive towards women in the last seven years. Today India is one of the countries which offer maximum maternity leave. Efforts are being made to raise the age of marriage of daughters to 21 years so that marriage at an early age does not hinder the education and career of daughters. There was a time when women’s empowerment was seen through a narrow prism in the country. The women from villages and poor families were outside this scope. We are also working to eliminate this disparity. Today, the face of women empowerment is also those nine crore poor women who got a gas connection for the first time and got freedom from smoke. Today, the face of women empowerment is also crores of mothers and sisters who have a toilet in their house, which is called Izzatghar in Uttar Pradesh. Today the face of women empowerment is also those mothers who have got a concrete roof over their heads for the first time. Similarly, when crores of women get assistance during pregnancy and delivery, when crores of women get their Jan Dhan bank accounts, when government subsidies go directly to women’s accounts, these women become the face of women empowerment and the changing India. Friends, Today the confidence of the women of the country has increased. They are determining their own future as well as giving direction to the future of the country. After several years, the sex ratio has improved in the country, the drop-out rate of girls from schools has decreased, because women themselves are associated with the country’s ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign. And when a woman decides something, then she only decides its direction. Therefore, we are seeing that the women did not hesitate to oust the governments which did not give priority to women’s safety from power. When I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, I used to wonder why this issue is not being handled in the same way elsewhere. Therefore, we made many efforts related to women’s safety at the national level after the formation of the government in 2014. Today there are strict laws on crimes against women and provision has also been made for hanging in heinous cases of rape. Fast-track courts are also being set up across the country. Systems are also being improved with the cooperation of the states to ensure that the new laws are strictly followed. Several efforts are underway to increase the number of women help desks in police stations, to have a round-the-clock helpline and a portal to deal with cybercrimes. Most importantly, today the government is working with the zero-tolerance policy on crimes against women. In all these efforts, the National Commission for Women works as a bridge between the women and the governments in collaboration with the State Women’s Commissions. I am sure that your positive role will continue to strengthen our society in the same way. With this belief, once again many congratulations to all of you on the occasion of Foundation Day!

Just a while ago, from the 4th of April to the 15th of April, the 21st Commonwealth Games were held in Australia. 71 countries, including India, participated therein. With an event of such scale & magnitude, which saw the participation of thousands of sportspersons from myriad corners of the world, can you imagine the mood that must have pervaded the atmosphere there? An air of excitement, zeal, enthusiasm, hope, aspirations, the determination to achieve – who would want to stay away from an atmosphere like that? These were the times when people all over the country pondered eagerly everyday on the line-up of sportspersons, scheduled for their respective performances. How will India’s performance be, what will our medal tally look like? These questions were but natural. Our sportspersons too lived up to the countrymen’s expectations and displayed stellar performances, winning one medal after another. Shooting or Wrestling, Table Tennis or Badminton, it was a record performance for India. 26 Gold, 20 Silver, 20 Bronze, India bagged a tally of around 66 medals. This success makes every Indian swell with pride. Of course, winning medals is a moment of joy & glory for a sportsperson; it is equally so as a festival of laurels for the country & her countrymen. After the conclusion of a match, representing India, when the athletes draped in the tricolor rise, displaying their medals, the notes of the National Anthem being played evoke a sense of joy and fulfillment, glory and honour. This is very, very special in itself. It is a touching moment that fills one’s heart with thrill; it is a moment full of zest & warmth. It is a wave of emotions that engulfs all of us simultaneously. Perhaps, to express those sentiments I’ll run short of words. But I want to share with you what I heard from these heroes. I feel immensely proud; you too will feel so. India’s performance in the Commonwealth Games was par excellence. At the same time, it was special. Special in the sense that this time there were many pathbreaking ‘firsts’. Are you aware that out of the wrestlers who represented India, each one of them returned with a medal? Manika Batra won a medal in each of the events that she competed in. She is the first Indian woman to win a gold in the individual table tennis category too. India clinched the maximum number of medals in shooting. Deepak Lather of Haryana became the youngest Indian Weight-Lifter to win a medal at Commonwealth games. 15 year old Indian shooter Anish Bhanwala became the youngest sportsperson to win a gold for India. Sachin Chowdhary is the sole Indian Para Power Lifter to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games. This edition of the games was special on one more count- a majority of the medalists was women athletes. In squash, boxing, weightlifting and shooting – the performance of women turned out to be par excellence. The final contest in Badminton took place between two Indian Shuttlers, Saina Nehwal and P.V. Sindhu. Everyone was thrilled for the fact that despite there being competition, the ultimate medal winner had to be India. The whole country watched it with abated breath. I too enjoyed watching the match. This year, India fared well in Athletics too. Indian sprinters Mohammad Anas & Hema Das missed a medal narrowly, but their record performance has brought glory to the nation. I congratulate them too… my best wishes to them. Athletes who participated in these games hail from various parts of the country, even from smaller towns. They have reached this pinnacle, crossing a great deal of hurdles and hardships. Today, the positions they have secured for themselves, the targets they have achieved, owes a lot to the efforts & contribution of their parents, guardians, coaches, support staff, schools, teachers, the atmosphere provided by their Schools, during this journey in their lives. Even their friends have contributed by boosting their morale under all circumstances. I also congratulate them along with the sportspersons, my good wishes to them. I feel all these athletes have brought laurels to the country with their stellar performances; the fact is, their performances are not mere displays… they are sources of encouragement for upcoming Sportspersons and the young generation of the country alike. Last month during ‘Mann Ki Baat’, I had urged our countrymen, especially the youth to espouse ‘Fit India’. I had invited everyone to join ‘Fit India’, lead ‘Fit India’. I was overjoyed to see people getting connected to it with a lot of enthusiasm. Expressing support for this, many people have written to me, sent me letters, shared ‘fitness mantra- Fit India’ stories on social media. A gentleman Shriman Shashikant Bhonsale, sharing his photo by the swimming pool, has written, ‘My weapon is my body, my element is water, my world is swimming’. Rooma Devnath writes, “I truly feel happy & healthy through my Morning Walks. She further adds,” For me, fitness comes with a smile and we should smile, when we are happy. Devnathji, indeed, happiness is fitness, and there’s no doubt about it. Dhawal Prajapati, sharing a photograph of himself trekking, has written; ‘For me, travelling & trekking is ‘Fit India’. It was heartening to see many eminent personalities encouraging our youth in interesting ways for Fit India. Cine artiste Akshay Kumar has shared a video on Twitter. Even I have gone through it, you too should view it- it shows him exercising with wooden beads. He has mentioned that this exercise benefits muscles of the back and the stomach, to a great extent. Another video of his has gained popularity; in this he’s trying his hand on the volleyball with others. Many other young people have shared their experiences, having joined the ‘Fit India’ efforts. I feel movements like these are beneficial for all of us, for the entire country. I would additionally like to mention, that the movement of ‘Fit India’, without any expense, is called ‘YOG’. Yog has a special significance in the ‘Fit India’ campaign. You too must be busy with preparations… the significance, the merit of 21st June, International Yog Day has been accepted & welcomed globally. Do begin preparing for the Day rightaway. And not just yourself- your city, village, neighbourhood, school, college, men, women, everyone should make an attempt to connect with yog. Nowadays, the benefits of yog in one’s holistic physical & mental development does not need to be told… neither in India nor elsewhere in the world. You must have viewed an animated video depicting me, that has been widely circulated. I congratulate those from the field of animation for highlighting nuances, just the way a teacher does. You too will benefit from it. My young friends, you now must be out of the tread mill of exams, exams & more exams; you must be wondering about spending your holidays. You must be contemplating on ways to enjoy your vacations and places to travel to! I would like to talk to you today, to invite you on a new task. I’ve seen a lot of young people these days, spending time in learning new things. The significance of Summer Internship is soaring; as it is, an altogether new experience in itself. One gets an opportunity to experience life anew, away from closeted walls, away from paper & pen and computers. Dear young friends, today I urge you to undergo a special internship. Three Ministries of the Government of India; maybe four- Sports, HRD, Department of Drinking water have come together to launch a ‘Swachch Bharat Summer Internship 2018’. College students, young people from the NCC and Nehru Yuva Kendra, whoever want to do something substantial & learn something for the sake of society, & the country, those who want to get connected with transforming the country and be a reason for it, those who want to do something or the other for society with a positive energy- for them, there is a great opportunity! Even the cause of the cleanliness campaign will get a boost, and when we celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, we’ll surely attain a sense of fulfillment. And let me tell you, the best out of the best interns who have strived in schools & colleges with excellent work will be rewarded with recognition at the national level. Not just that, those interns who accomplish their tasks well, will be awarded two credit points each, by the UGC. Once again, I invite students & young people, boys & girls to avail of the benefits of the internship. You can register yourselves for the ‘Swachch Bharat Summer Internship’ on Mygov. I hope our youth will lend a hand in taking this movement of cleanliness forward. I too am eager to know more about your efforts. Do send in your learning experience, do post your stories, photos and videos. Come. Let us turn this vacation into a learning opportunity, for a totally new experience. My dear countrymen! I try to watch “Good News India” programme on Doordarshan whenever I get a chance and I would appeal to my countrymen that we all should also watch this “Good News India” programme wherein we get to know as to how many people in various parts of our country are doing many good things and that such good things are happening. Recently, I saw that they were presenting the story of some youth from Delhi who are selflessly working in a dedicated manner to help in educating the poor children. This group of youngsters has started a big campaign in Delhi for providing education to the street children and slum dwellers. Initially, shocked to see the condition of children begging around or doing some menial jobs that this group of youngsters got dedicatedly, selflessly involved into this creative mission. Starting with just 15 children from the slums near Geeta Colony in New Delhi it is now being run at 12 places and two thousand children have been brought under its fold. Young teachers associated with this campaign find out a free time of two hours from their busy schedule and contribute in this stupendous mission of bringing out a social transformation. Dear brothers and sisters, in this very way, some farmers from hilly areas of Uttarakhand have become a source of inspiration for the farmers across the country. With their collective efforts, they have not only changed their own fortunes but have changed fortunes of the whole region. In Bageshwar in Uttarakhand, main crops sown are Mandwa, Chaulai, Corn or Barley. This being a hilly area, the farmers did not get a fair price of their produce. But, the farmers in Kapkot tehsil decided to come out of this situation and adopted a value- addition process and changed the loss incurring equation into a profit-earning one. What they did was that they started production of biscuits from their agricultural produce and sold those biscuits directly in the market. Consequently, Chaulai which the farmers were forced to sell at Rs. 25 per Kg was now selling at Rs. 50 per Kg as biscuits. Besides, there is a strong belief that the land in this area is iron-rich and these iron rich biscuits are very good for pregnant women as they overcome the deficiency of iron. These farmers have formed a cooperative society in Munar village and set-up a biscuit factory there. Impressed by the bold initiative of these farmers, the administration has also linked this to the National Livelihood Mission. These biscuits are now being supplied upto Almora and Kousani besides being sold to about fifty Aanganwadi kendras in Bagheshwar district. With the hard work of these farmers, the annual turnover of the society has gone up from 10 to 15 lakh rupees and with more than 900 families getting employment here, people have stopped migrating to other places. My dear countrymen, we often hear that in, times to come, the world will face a war because of water. Everyone talks about this but do we not have any responsibility towards conservation of water? Do we not feel that water conservation must be a social responsibility? This must be a collective responsibility. How can we conserve each single drop of rain water? And, we all know this. And, water conservation is not a new topic for us; it is neither a part of the academic curriculum nor a part of our languages. Our forefathers have lived this as a way of life for centuries together. They gave due priority and importance to each single drop of water. They found out newer methods in order to conserve every single drop of water. Those of you who might be getting a chance to visit Tamilnadu might have noticed that in some temples in the state, there are carvings on stone depicting irrigation system, water conservation methods and drought management. There are vast stone inscriptions in these temples and devotees get a chance to read these educative messages. May it be Mannarkovil, Chiran Mahadevi, Kovilpatti or Pudukottai – you will get to see massive stone inscriptions to this effect. Several baodis (stepwells) are famous as tourist spots but please do not forget that these are the living symbols of the water conservation campaigns which our forefathers had accomplished. Adalaj and Patan Ki Raniki Vaav (Baodi) in Gujarat is a UNESCO World Heritage site and its grandeur is to be seen to be believed. Baodis are water temples in a way. If you happen to go to Rajasthan, you must visit Chand Baodi. This is one of the biggest and the most beautiful baodis of India and the point to be noted is that this is situated in a water-scarce area. April, May, June and July is the most suitable time when rain water harvesting can be done and if we make preparations in advance, we can reap a rich harvest. Budget under MNREGA is also utilized for this water conservation activity. During the last three years, everyone in his or her own way has contributed towards water conservation and water management. An average of 32,000 crore rupees have been spent besides the MNREGA budget each year on water conservation and water management. If we talk of 2017-18, 55 percent of the total outlay of Rupees 64 thousand crores, which comes to around rupees 35 thousand crores, has been spent on works like water conservation. In last three years, nearly 150 lakh hectares of land got more benefit through water conservation and water management measures. Some people have really benefitted very well from MNREGA budget provisions made by the Government of India for water conservation and water management works. A project of reviving the rivers which had dried out was undertaken in Kerala. Seven thousand workers under MNREGA worked very hard for seventy days and finally succeeded in reviving Kuttumperoor river there. The Ganges and the Yamuna have plentiful of water but there are many other places in Uttar Pradesh like Fatehpur district where two small rivers namely Sasur-Khaderi got dried out. After receiving the reports of Remote Sensing Imagery and Inter Department Coordination, the district administration took up the responsibility of soil and water conservation on a massive scale. They succeeded in reviving the dried out Sasur Khaderi river with the help and cooperation of people from 40-45 villages of the area. This grand achievement is a big boon for animals, birds, farmers, crops and villages. I emphasis that once again April, May, June and July are before us and we must also take up some responsibility for water harvesting and water conservation, we should also chalk out some schemes, we should also do and show something. My dear countrymen! When “Mann Ki Baat” approaches I receive messages, letters and phone calls from all sides. Aayan Kumar Banerjee from Devi Tola village of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal in his comment on My Gov has written – “We celebrate Rabindra Jayanti every year but many people are not aware of the Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath’s philosophy of living peacefully, aesthetically and with integrity. Kindly discuss this point in “Mann Ki Baat” programme so that more and more people may get to know about this.” I thank Aayanji for drawing the attention of all listeners of “Mann Ki Baat” towards this point. Gurudev Tagore was a personality full of knowledge and intellect whose writings left an indelible mark on everyone. Rabindra Nath was a personality full of talent, a multi – directional personna but a teacher in his inner self can always be felt. He has written in Gitanjali – “ He, who has the knowledge has the responsibility to impart it to the students.” I do not know Bangla but had the habit of rising early since my childhood and in Eastern India, radio broadcasts start early while in Western India these start a bit late. I have a faint memory that probably around 5:30 in the morning, Rabindra Sangeet used to be broadcast on radio and I had developed a habit to listen to Rabindra Sangeet on radio. And, whenever I got a chance to listen to poems like Anandloke and Aaguner, Poroshmoni, I used to feel as if my mind was being energised. You must also have been impressed by Rabindra Sangeet and his poems. I pay my respectful homage to Rabindra Nath Tagore. My dear countrymen! Within a few days from now the holy month of Ramazan will dawn upon us. The month of Ramazan is celebrated with full reverence and respect throughout the world. The sociological and collective aspect of fasting is that when a person experiences hunger himself, he comes to realize the hunger of others. When he is thirsty, he realizes the thirst of others. This is an opportunity to remember the teachings of Prophet Muhammad-peace be upon him- and his message. It is our responsibility to follow the path of equality and brotherhood as morals from his life. Once a person asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): “Which is the best thing in Islam?” The Prophet Saab said, “feeding a poor and needy and meeting everyone cordially, whether you know him or not!” Prophet Mohammad Sahib (peace be upon him) believed in twin principles of knowledge and compassion. He did not possess an iota of ego regarding himself. He preached that knowledge alone defeats ego. Prophet Mohammad Sahib(peace be upon him) believed that if you possessed anything more than your requirement, then donate it to the needy, thus donation or giving alms is important during Ramzan. People donate generously to the needy during this holy month. Prophet Muhammad Sahib believed that a person is rich because of his inherent spirituality, and not materialistic wealth. I wish all the citizens an auspicious month of Ramazan and I hope this opportunity will inspire people to follow the Prophet’s message of peace and goodwill. My dear countrymen! Buddha Purnima is a special day for every Indian. We must be proud of the fact that India is the birthplace of Lord Buddha, the very synonym of power of compassion, service and sacrifice, who guided millions of people around the world. This Buddha Purnima reminds us of all of our obligation to emulate Lord Buddha’s teaching as well as, pledge ourselves to follow his footsteps. Lord Buddha was the fountainhead of egalitarianism, peace, harmony and brotherhood. These are human values, which are most desired in the world today. Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar stressed that Lord Buddha has been a great inspiration in his social philosophy. Baba Saheb had said –“My Social philosophy may be said to be enshrined in three words; liberty, equality and fraternity. My Philosophy has roots in religion and not in political science. I have derived them from the teaching of my master, The Buddha.” Baba Saheb strengthened the oppressed, exploited, deprived and crores of people standing on the brink of marginalization via the Constitution of India. There cannot be a bigger example of compassion than this. This form of compassion was one of the greatest qualities of Lord Buddha for the alleviation of suffering of the people. The Buddhist monks used to travel to different countries carrying with them the rich ideals of Lord Buddha and this has been occurring throughout the ages. We have inherited the wisdom of Lord Buddha throughout Asia as part of our legacy. It forges a link between us and many Asian countries like China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar where Buddhist traditions and his preaching are a part of their origins. And this is the very reason that we are developing Infrastructure for Buddhist Tourism, which is going to connect Southeast Asia with the important Buddhist sites of India. I am also very pleased that the Government of India is a partner in the restoration of many Buddhist temples which also includes the centuries old magnificent Anand Temple in Bagan in Myanmar. Today, when there is confrontation and human suffering prevalent everywhere in the world, Lord Buddha’s teachings show the way to rid hatred from the world with compassion. I wish people spread all over the world who revere Lord Buddha and believe in the principles of compassion- I wish all of them an auspicious Buddha Purnima. I seek benediction from Lord Buddha for the entire world, so that we can fulfill our responsibility in building a peaceful and compassionate world based on his teachings. Today, as we remember Lord Buddha, you must have heard about the idols of laughing Buddha, it is said that laughing Buddha brings one good fortune, but very few people know that smiling Buddha is also associated with an important event in India’s defense history. Now you will be wondering what is the connection between smiling Buddha and India’s military might? You must remember, 20 years ago today, on 11th May 1998, the Prime Minister of India, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee had said while addressing the nation and his words filled the whole country with pride, courage and elation. The Indian diaspora was infused with new confidence. That day also was the day of Buddha Purnima. On May 11, 1998, at India’s western end a nuclear test was conducted in Pokhran, Rajasthan. It has been 20 years since Pokhranand this test was done on Buddha Purnima with the blessings of Lord Buddha. India’s test was not only successful but in a way, India had demonstrated its might in the field of science and technology. We can also say 11 May 1988 is engraved in the history of India as a demonstration of her military power. Lord Buddha has shown the world- that the power of inner strength or that of the soul is necessary for peace. Similarly, when you are sturdy as a nation, you can be at peace with others. The month of May, 1998 is not just important for the country from the aspect that nuclear tests were conducted this very month, but the manner in which they were carried out is also important. It has revealed to the entire world that India is the land of great scientists and with a strong leadership, India can reach loftier destinations and earn new laurels. On that day, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji had given the mantra – “Jai-Jawan Jai-Kisan, Jai-Vigyan.’ Now that when we are going to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Pokhran test conducted on May 11, 1998, I ask the younger generations of our nation to imbibe the mantra of ‘Jai-Vigyan’ given by Atalji for enhancing the might and the power of India, to build a modern India, a powerful India and a self-reliant India. Synergize your energy with the strength of India. Witnessing the journey that Atal ji started, we while continuing onwards on that very path with a renewed joy will derive great satisfaction in getting ahead. My dear countrymen, looking forward to our conversation when we will meet for another episode of Mann Ki Baat.

The Prime Minister congratulated the people of UP for the inauguration of AIIMS and fertilizer plant and for the new building of Regional Medical Research Center of ICMR in Gorakhpur. He recalled laying the foundation stone for AIIMS and fertilizer plant, 5 years ago and inaugurating both today, underlining the working style of the government of finishing projects once undertaken. The Prime Minister remarked that when there is a double engine Government, then the speed of implementing developmental works is also doubled. He said when work is done with a good intention, then even disasters cannot become a hindrance. When there is a government that cares about the poor, vulnerable & disadvantaged, it also works hard and shows results by bringing them along. He said today’s event is proof that when the new India is determined, nothing is impossible. The Prime Minister said, in a three pronged approach, the Government stopped the misuse of urea by introducing 100% neem coating of urea. He said soil health cards are given to crores of farmers so that they can decide what kind of fertilizer is needed for their farm. He said the Government laid emphasis on increasing the production of urea. Closed fertilizer plants were also forced to reopen to increase the production. The Prime Minister informed that with the completion of 5 fertilizer plants in different part of the country, 60 lakh tonnes of urea will be available in the country. The Prime Minister appreciated the Government of Uttar Pradesh for the unprecedented work done for the sugarcane farmers in the recent years. He lauded the Government for increasing the remunerative price for sugarcane farmers, recently up to ₹300/- and for paying almost as much as the previous governments paid to sugarcane farmers in the past 10 years. The Prime Minister said after independence till the beginning of this century, there was only one AIIMS in the country. Former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee had approved 6 more AIIMS. The Prime Minister said work is going on across the country to build 16 new AIIMS in the last 7 years. He announced the goal of his Government is that every district in the country must have at least one medical college. The Prime Minister said everyone knew the importance of the fertilizer plant in Gorakhpur for the farmers of this region and also for providing employment. He said that in spite of the importance of the plant, the earlier governments did not show any interest in reopening it. Everyone knew that the demand for AIIMS in Gorakhpur was being raised for years. But those who were running the government before 2017 made all kinds of excuses for providing land for the construction of AIIMS in Gorakhpur. The Prime Minister noted drastic reduction in the cases of Japanese Encephalitis in the area and growth of the medical Infrastructure in the area. “With AIIMS and ICMR Centre, the fight against JE will gain new strength”, he said. The Prime Minister criticized the politics of display of authority, power politics, scams and mafia that brought misery to the people of the state in the past. He appealed to people to be vigilant against such forces. The Prime Minister said today our government has opened government godowns for the poor and the UP Chief Minister is busy delivering food to every household. He added that about 15 crore people of UP are getting its benefit. Recently, PM GaribKalyan Anna Yojanahas been extended beyond Holi. Earlier governments had defamed the name of UP by giving protection to criminals. Today the mafia is in jail and investors are investing freely in UP.

Today is the first torch relay for the Chess Olympiad Games starting from India. This year, for the first time, India is going to host the Chess Olympiad Games. We are proud that coming out of its place of origin, this sports is leaving a mark in the whole world. It has become a passion for many countries. We are glad that Chess is being celebrated as a huge international event in its place of origin once again. In the form of ‘Chaturanga’, this sport had travelled around the world from ‘India’ centuries ago. Today, the torch of the first Chess Olympiad is also starting from India and travelling to other countries. Today, when India is celebrating 75 years of its independence and celebrating the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’, this torch of the Chess Olympiad will travel to 75 cities of the country. I am extremely delighted on one decision of the International Chess Federation (FIDE). FIDE has decided that the torch relay for every Chess Olympiad Games will start from India itself. This is not only an honour for India, but also for this glorious heritage of ‘chess’. My heartiest compliments to FIDE and all its members for the same! I also extend my best wishes to all the players for their great performance in the 44th Chess Olympiad. No matter who wins this game, it will be a victory of sportsmanship. I hope you play with high enthusiasm in Mahabalipuram, keeping the spirit of the sports paramount. Friends, For thousands of years, the mantra ‘Tamaso-Majyotirgamaya’ has been reverberating for the world. That is, we keep on moving continuously from ‘Darkness’ towards ‘Light’. Light, that is, a better future for humanity. Light means a happy and a healthy life. Light means trying to expand the potential in every field and therefore, India conducted research in fields like Maths, Science and Astronomy on one hand while on the other has made Ayurveda, Yoga, and sports a part of life. In India, sports like ‘wrestling’ and ‘kabaddi’, ‘mallakhamb’ used to be organized so that we could prepare the young generation not only with a healthy’ body but also with capabilities. Our forefathers invented games such as chaturanga or chess for analytical and problem solving brains. Through India, chess reached many countries of the world and became very popular. Today chess is also being used in schools for the youngsters as an education tool. Those youngsters who are learning about Chess are becoming problems solvers in different fields. From ‘Checkboard’ to playing on Computers as ‘Digital Chess’, India has been a witness to this long journey. India has produced great chess players like Neelkanth Vaidyanath, Lala Raja Babu and Thiruvengadacharya. Even today, many talents like ‘Viswanathan Anand’ ji, ‘Koneru’ Humpy, ‘Vivid’, ‘Divya Deshmukh’, present in front of us, are raising the glory of our Tricolour in Chess. Right now, I got the opportunity to play Chess with Koneru Humpy ji in a ceremonial move. Friends, It is pleasing to know that in the last 7-8 years India has continuously improved its performance in chess. In the 41st Chess Olympiad, India won its first medal as a bronze. In the virtual Chess Olympiad of 2020 and 2021, India has also won a gold and a bronze. This time the highest number of players ever is participating in the Chess Olympiad. Therefore, I hope that this time India will set a new record for medals. I hope my aspirations matches yours. Friends, I don’t know much about the game of Chess but the hidden spirit behind chess and its rules have deep meanings. For example, each piece of chess has its own unique strength and ability. If a right move is made with the piece, then it becomes very powerful! Even a “pawn” that is considered the “weakest” can become the “most powerful pawn”. Alertness is needed to make the right move or to take the right step. Then the pawn too gains the power of the rook, or the knight! Friends, This feature of chessboard gives us a big message of life. Given the right support and the right atmosphere, there would be no goal impossible even for the weakest. No matter what the background is or the number of obstacles on the way, if he gets the right assistance while taking the first step then he can become powerful and achieve the desired results. Friends, The game of chess has another great feature i.e. Vision. Chess teaches us that one who can think for a long term instead of short term success achieves real success. Speaking of sports related policies, we have TOPS i.e. Target Olympics Podium Scheme and the Khelo India and we witness the amazing results of the same. The new India’s youth today is doing amazing in every sport including chess. In the past few years, we have seen such major global sports events like the Olympics, Paralympics and Deaflympics. Players from India have performed brilliantly in all these events, breaking old records and creating new records. In Tokyo Olympics, we won 7 medals for the first time and in the Paralympics for the first time we won 19 medals! Recently, India has achieved one more success. We have won the Thomas Cup for the first time in seven decades. Our three female boxers have won gold and bronze medals in the World Championship. Neeraj Chopra, Olympics Gold medal winner, recently won another International medal and has set a new record! We can guess about the preparation and speed of India as also the spirit of the youth of India today! Now we are targeting the 2024 Paris Olympics and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. We have been supporting thousands of players under the TOPS scheme. The way India has emerged as a new force in the world of sports, the players of India too are creating a new identity in the sports world. More importantly, the youth of small cities of the country are coming forward to prove themselves in the field of sports. Friends, When a talent gets appropriate opportunities, then success itself embraces it. And there is no dearth of talents in our country. The youth of the country do not lack courage, dedication and capability. Earlier, our youth had to wait for appropriate platform but now under ‘Khelo India’ scheme, the country herself is searching and honing their skills. Thousands of youths have been selected from remote areas, villages and tribal dominated areas through the Khelo India scheme. In different states and districts, modern sports infrastructure is being built. In the new National Education Policy, sports have been given priority like other subjects. In the field of sports, the youth are getting new opportunities apart from playing. New streams like Sports Science, Sports Physio, Sports research etc have been added. Several sports universities are being opened in the country so that you can build a career. Friends, When a player goes to the field, or sits in front of chessboard or table, then the player doesn’t think about his/her own victory. Rather the player plays for the country. It is quite natural that the pressure of the aspirations of crores of people will be on the player. But you should keep it in mind that the country understands the dedication and labour put in by you. You have to give your 100% but the pressure should be 0% – i.e. free of any tension. Like victory is a part of the game, similarly, toiling for win is equally a part of the game. In the game of Chess, a simple mistake can change the game. But you can also turn the table by your mind game. So, in this game the more you keep your mind in control and be calm, the better you perform. Yoga and meditation can help you a lot in this game. Day after tomorrow i.e. 21st June is International Yoga Day. I would like you to make Yoga a part of your daily life and also propagate about yoga day in a big way. By doing so, you will be able to show the path to crores of people. I believe that you all will take part in the game with dedication and will enhance the glory of the country. I once again thank you for giving me this memorable opportunity. Once again, my heartiest wishes to the sports world! Thank you!",৪৪তম দবা অলিম্পিয়াডৰ বাবে টৰ্চ ৰীলে মুকলি কৰাৰ সময়ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-approves-ex-gratia-for-the-next-of-kin-of-those-who-have-lost-their-lives-due-to-the-accident-in-pilibhit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%98%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%98%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has approved ex-gratia for the next of kin of those who have lost their lives due to the accident in Pilibhit.

I am confident that this innovation will not remain confined to urea. In the future other nano fertilizers will be available to our farmers”, he said. The Prime Minister informed India is the second-largest consumer of urea in the world but only the third-largest producer. After the formation of the government in 2014, the government did 100% neem coating of urea. This ensured that the farmers of the country got enough urea.

UP and Telangana factories have already started production, and the other three factories also will soon start working, he said. Talking about the import dependence with regard to urea and phosphate and potash-based fertilizers the Prime Minister dwelled on high prices and lack of availability in the global market due to the pandemic and war. The Prime Minister said that the sensitive government did not allow the problems to be passed on to the farmers and despite the difficult situation did not let any crisis of fertilizer take shape in India. A urea bag costing Rs 3500 is made available to the farmer for Rs 300 while the government bears Rs 3200 per bag. Similarly on a bag of DAP government bears Rs 2500 as opposed to Rs 500 borne by the earlier governments. The Union Government gave a subsidy of Rs 1 lakh 60 thousand crore last year, this year this subsidy is going to be more than Rs 2 lakh crore, the Prime Minister informed. The Prime Minister promised to do whatever was necessary for the interest of the farmers of the country and continue to strengthen the farmers of the country. The Prime Minister said that in the last 8 years, the government has worked on both the immediate and long-term solutions to the problems being faced by the country. He cited solutions like improving health infrastructure to deal with any further pandemic shock, Mission Oil Palm to tackle edible oil problems, bio-fuel and hydrogen fuel to handle oil problems, natural farming, and nanotechnology push are also results of this approach. Similarly, he said, there is a solution to many of India’s difficulties in self-reliance. He cited co-operative as a great model of self-reliance. The Prime Minister said Gujarat was also fortunate because we got the leadership of Pujya Bapu and Sardar Saheb. Sardar Saheb did the work of bringing down the path shown by revered Bapu to self-help through cooperation. The example of the cooperative model of the dairy sector is before us. Today India is the largest milk producer in the world among which Gujarat has a major share. The dairy sector is also growing rapidly in the last few years and is also contributing more to the rural economy. In Gujarat, milk-based industries were widely spread because the restrictions on the part of the government were minimal in this. The government plays the role of only a facilitator here, the rest is either done by cooperatives or farmers. The Prime Minister informed that the Government is continuously moving forward to connect the spirit of cooperation with the spirit of the Amrit Kaal. With this objective, a separate ministry for cooperatives was formed at the center. He added that efforts are being made to encourage a cooperative-based economic model in the country. “The greatest strength of cooperatives is the faith, cooperation, and enhancing the capability of the organization with collective strength. This is the guarantee of India’s success during the Amrit Kaal”, he added. The Government is working on making what is considered small and underestimated, into a big power in the Amrit Kaal. Today small farmers are being empowered in every way. Similarly, small-scale industries and MSMEs are being made a strong part of India’s self-reliant supply chain. “I am sure that cooperation will help us in realizing our goals and India will move ahead on the road of success and prosperity”, the Prime Minister concluded.",গান্ধীনগৰত বিভিন্ন সমবায় প্ৰতিষ্ঠানৰ নেতৃবৃন্দৰে অনুষ্ঠিত আলোচনা সভাত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-launch-of-ujjwala-2-0-pradhan-mantri-ujjwala-yojana-pmuy-in-uttar-pradesh/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A7%A8/,"Namaskar, Just now I got an opportunity to talk to all the mothers and sisters. I am happy that the festival of Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated after a few days and I got the blessings of mothers and sisters in advance. Today I have got the opportunity to present another gift to the sisters of crores of poor, Dalit, deprived, backward and tribal families of the country. Today many sisters are getting free gas connection and gas stoves as part of the next phase of the Ujjwala scheme. I once again congratulate all the beneficiaries. Present in Mahoba, my colleague in the Union Cabinet, Hardeep Singh Puri ji, Chief Minister of UP Yogi Adityanath ji, my another cabinet colleague Rameshwar Teli ji, Deputy CM of Uttar Pradesh Keshav Prasad Maurya ji, Dr. Dinesh Sharma ji, all ministers of UP government, my colleagues in Parliament, all respected MLAs, and my brothers and sisters, The number of people and women that the Ujjwala scheme has illuminated is unprecedented. This scheme was launched in 2016 from Ballia in Uttar Pradesh, from the land of Mangal Pandey ji, the pioneer of the freedom struggle. Today the second phase of Ujjwala is also starting from Mahoba, the valiant land of UP. Be it Mahoba or Bundelkhand, these have been spirited sites for the country’s independence. Every particle here has the fragrance of the heroic tales of many heroes like Rani Laxmibai, Rani Durgavati, Maharaja Chhatrasal, Veer Alha and Udal. At a time when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of the country’s independence, this event is also an occasion to remember our great personalities. Friends, Today I also remember another great prodigy of Bundelkhand — Major Dhyan Chand, our DaddaDhyan Chand.The name of the country’s highest sports award is now the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. I am sure that the name of Dadda, associated now with Khel Ratna, will inspire lakhs and crores of youth in the wake of the phenomenal performance of our young players in the Olympics. This time our players have not only won medals, but have also given an inkling for a better future by performing well in many events. Brothers and sisters, We are about to herald the 75th year of independence. But if we look at the progress of the last seven- and-a-half decades, we feel that there were some situations which could have been changed many decades ago. There were many basic needs like home, electricity, water, toilets, gas, roads, hospitals and schools, for which the countrymen had to wait for decades. This is tragic. It is our mothers and sisters who have suffered the most because of this (apathy), especially the poor mothers and sisters.It is the mother who has to face the problem due to the leaking roof of the hut. It is the mother who has to face the problem due to lack of electricity. If the family falls sick due to polluted water, even then the mother has to face the maximum problems. Thereis a problem for mothers and daughters as they have to wait for darkness to go out due to lack of toilets. If there is no separate toilet in the school, then there is a problem for our daughters. Many generations like us have grown up seeing the sight of the mother rubbing her eyes near fireplaces in the kitchen in the scorching heat. Friends, Can we move towards the 100th year of independence in such conditions? Will we spend our energy only in meeting basic needs? How can a family, a society fulfill their big dreams if they continue to struggle for basic facilities?How can dreams be fulfilled, unless society gets this belief and gathers the confidence to fulfill them? And how can a country become self-reliant without self-confidence? Brothers and sisters, When the country gave us the opportunity to serve in 2014, we asked ourselves these questions. It was very clear that we had to find solutions to all these problems within a stipulated time. Our daughters would be able to come out of homes and kitchens and contribute extensively in nation building only when the problems related to home and kitchen were solved first. Therefore, everything has been done on a mission mode in the last 6-7 years to find solutions. Crores of toilets were built across the country under the Swachh Bharat Mission. Pucca houses of more than 2 crore poor were built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The ownership of most of these houses is with our sisters. We built thousands of kilometers of rural roads and gave electricity connections to about 3 crore familiesthrough the Saubhagya Yojana. Ayushman Bharat scheme is providing free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh to more than 50 crore people. Thousands of rupees are being deposited directly into the bank accounts of expecting mothers for vaccination and nutritious food during pregnancy under the Matru Vandana Yojana. Bank accounts of crores of sisters were opened under the Jan Dhan Yojana, in which the government deposited about 30,000 crore rupees during the Corona period. Now work is underway to provide pure water from pipes to our sisters of rural families through the Jal Jeevan Mission. Friends, Ujjwala Yojana has put great emphasis on the resolve of ensuring health, convenience and empowerment of sisters. In the first phase of the scheme, eight crore poor, Dalit, deprived, backward and tribal families were given free gas connections. We have seen its benefits during the Corona period. When there was no movement and businesseswere closed, then crores of poor families were given free gas cylinders for several months. Imagine, what would have been the condition of our poor sisters in times of crisis had the Ujjwalascheme not been there? Friends, Another impact of the Ujjwala scheme has been that the infrastructure related to LPG gas has expanded manifold in the entire country. In the last 6-7 years, more than 11,000 new LPG distribution centers have been opened across the country. Uttar Pradesh alone had less than 2,000 distribution centers in 2014. Today it has exceeded more than 4,000. Due to this, thousands of youth got employment and secondly, families who were earlier deprived of gas connections got access to it. It is because of these efforts thatthe gas coverage in India is very close to being 100%. More gas connections have been given in the last 7 years than they were in the country till 2014. Efforts are also underway to resolve the problems of booking and delivery of cylinders, which were there earlier. Brothers and sisters, Today one more facility is being added to the existing facilities in the Ujjwala scheme. Many of our comrades from all over UP and other states, including Bundelkhand, go to other states from villages to cities to work. But they face the problem of proof of address. The second phase of the Ujjwala scheme is going to provide the maximum relief to lakhs of such families. Now my labor colleagues do not have to wander for proof of address. The government has full faith in your honesty. All you have to do is give a self-declaration of your address through writing and you will get a gas connection. Friends, Now the government is working in the direction of providing gas through pipesas it happens with water in your kitchen. This PNG is also much cheaper than the cylinder. The work of providing PNG connections in many districts of Eastern India, including Uttar Pradesh, is going on at a brisk pace. In the first phase, a target has been set to connect about 21 lakh houses in more than 50 districts of UP. Similarly, a massive effort is underway for CNG-based transport. Brothers and sisters, When dreams are big, the efforts to achieve them should be equally big. Today on the occasion of World Bio-fuel Day, we have to remember our goals again. We just saw a small documentary regarding what is happening in the sphere of bio-fuels. Bio-fuel is not just a clean fuel;rather it is also a medium to accelerate the engine of self-reliance in fuel, the engine of development of the country and the engine of development of the villages. Bio-fuel is the energy that we can get from household and farm waste, from plants and from rotten grains. The country is working on bio-fuel-ethanol goals. In the last 6-7 years, we have come very close to the target of 10 percent blending in petrol. In the next 4-5 years, we are moving towards achieving the target of 20 percent blending. The target is also to manufacture such vehicles in the country which will run on 100% ethanol. Friends, Ethanol will make commutingcheaper and the environment will also be safe. But the biggest benefit will accrue to our farmers and youth, especially to those from UP. When there will be an option to make ethanol from sugarcane, then sugarcane farmers will get more money and that too on time. Ethanol worth Rs 7,000 crore was purchased from ethanol producers in UP in the last year alone. Over the years, many units related to ethanol and bio-fuel have been set up in UP. In order to make compressed biogas from sugarcane residue, 70 districts of UP are in the process of setting up CBG plants. Now three big complexes are being built to develop bio-fuel from agricultural residue and stubble. Of these, two are being built in Badaun and Gorakhpur in UP and one in Bathinda in Punjab. With these projects, farmers will get paid for waste, thousands of youth will get employment and the environment will also be protected. Friends, Similarly, there is another important scheme, GobarDhanYojana. This scheme encourages the production of biogas from cow dung. This will also bring cleanliness in the villages and such animals which are not useful for the dairy sector and do not give milk will also be gainful. Yogi ji’s government has also built many Gaushalas (cow ranches). This is an important effort for the care of cows and for the protection of farmers’ crops. Friends, Now the country is moving towards fulfilling the dream of a better life, by achieving basic amenities. We have to increase this potential manifold in the next 25 years. Together we have to realize this resolve of a capable India. Sisters are going to have a special role. I once again convey my best wishes to all the beneficiary sisters of Ujjwala. I feel blessed that I got an opportunity to do this service to mothers and sisters ahead of the holy festival of Raksha Bandhan. I feel blessed. May your blessings be always there so that we continue to work with new energy to serve Mother Bharti, the 130 crore countrymen, the villages, poor, farmers, Dalits, victims and backwards. With this desire, best wishes to you.

The Budget Session of the parliament gets under way today. This session begins with the address of the President. In the last session it was our effort and the nation had high hopes that there won’t be any politics on crucial issues like Triple talaq so that the Muslim women will get their rights. However, despite the orders of the Supreme Court, the bill on triple talaq could not be passed by the Parliament. I hope and appeal to the political parties across the country to join hands in passing the triple talaq bill to protect the rights of Muslim women. It will indeed be the best gift of 2018, in the new year for the Muslim women. Budget Session is very important. Entire global community is very much optimistic about the Indian economy. It comes at a time when the world is looking at us, be it the Global Credit rating agencies, World Bank, IMF which have been very positive in their opinion about the growth of India and the road ahead. This Budget will provide a new energy to the fast growing economy of the country. It will be fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the common man. A month after the Budget session, various committees deliberate upon the details of the Budget proposals. The past experience shows that in those deliberations the national interest is above the political interests. Cutting across party line even the MPs from the ruling party highlights its short comings while the members of opposition highlight its salient feature. In a way it provides for a healthy environment and atmosphere for debate and discussion. In the all party meeting yesterday I have urged that we should take maximum help of the debate in the committees and to ensure that how we can ensure that the common man is benefited most from the Budget. Our objective should be to reach out to the dalits, oppressed, underprivileged and to those who did not have any access to these benefits. We also need to see how the villagers, poor, farmers and laborers are benefited maximum from the Budget. Let’s have a detailed discussion, come out with positive suggestions and make a road map to march ahead.",সংসদৰ বাজেট অধিবেশনৰ পূৰ্বে সংবাদ মাধ্যমৰ সন্মুখত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে আগবঢ়োৱা বিবৃতিৰ লিখিত ৰূপ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-addresses-programme-on-10th-punyatithi-of-late-shri-harmohan-singh-yadav/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%82-%E0%A6%AF/,"Today is a big day for Indian democracy as a woman from tribal community assumed the charge of the highest office of the county” “Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav carried forward the ideas of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia in his long political career” “Harmohan Singh Yadav ji not only took a political stand against the Sikh massacre, but he came forward and fought to protect the Sikh brothers and sisters” “In recent times, there has been a trend to put ideological or political interests above the interest of the society and the country” “It is the responsibility of every political party that the opposition of a party or an individual should not turn into opposition of the country” “Dr Lohia worked to strengthen the cultural strength of the country by organising Ramayana fairs and caring for Ganga” “Social justice means that every section of society should get equal opportunities, and no one should be deprived of the basic necessities of life” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi addressed the programme on the 10th Punyatithi of Late Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav, a former MP, MLC, MLA and Shaurya Chakra awardee and a towering figure and leader of the Yadav community. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister paid tributes to Late Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav on his 10th Punyatithi. He also noted that today, for the first time after the independence, a woman from the tribal community assumed the highest office of the country. He called it a big day for India’s democracy. The Prime Minister recalled the glorious heritage of great leaders from Uttar Pradesh, the Prime Minister said that “Harmohan Singh Yadav ji carried forward the ideas of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia ji in his long political career from the soil of Uttar Pradesh and Kanpur. The contribution he made in the politics of the state and the country, the work he did for the society, is still guiding the generations”. The Prime Minister mentioned his dedication to the society and community in his long and distinguished journey from ‘Gram Sabha to Rajya Sabha’. The Prime Minister noted the exemplary courage of Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav and said “Harmohan Singh Yadav ji not only took a political stand against the Sikh massacre, but he came forward and fought to protect the Sikh brothers and sisters. Without caring for his life, he saved the lives of many innocent Sikh families. The country also recognized his leadership and he was given Shaurya Chakra” Recalling the words of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Prime Minister underlined the primacy of the nation above party politics. He said “parties exist because of democracy, and democracy exists because of the country. Most of the parties in our country, especially all the non-Congress parties have also followed this idea and the ideal of cooperation and coordination for the country”. He gave examples of the 1971 war, the Atomic test and the fight against the Emergency to illustrate the feeling of political parties to put up a united front for the country. “When the country’s democracy was crushed during the Emergency, all the major parties, we all came together and fought to save the Constitution. Chaudhary Harmohan Singh Yadav ji was also a brave soldier in that struggle. That is, the interests of our country and society are always bigger than ideologies”, he added. However, the Prime Minister said, “in recent times, there has been a trend to put ideological or political interests above the interest of the society and the country. Many times, some opposition parties put obstacles in the work of the government because when they were in power, they could not implement the decisions themselves.” The Prime Minister said that the people of the country do not like this. “It is the responsibility of every political party that the opposition of a party or an individual should not turn into opposition to the country. Ideologies and political ambition have their place, and they should have. But, country, society and nation come first” The Prime Minister dwelled on Dr Lohia’s concept of cultural strength. Shri Modi said in the original Indian thought, society is not an issue of contention or debate and is seen as a framework of cohesion and collectivity. He remembered that Dr Lohia worked to strengthen the cultural strength of the country by organising Ramayana fairs and caring for Ganga. He said that India is realising these dreams by initiatives like Namami Gange, reviving the cultural symbols of the society and emphasising the importance of duty along with ensuring rights. The Prime Minister stressed that for the service of society, it is also necessary that we accept the spirit of social justice, and adopt it. Today, when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav on 75 years of its independence, it is very important to understand this and move in this direction, he said. The Prime Minister noted that social justice means that every section of society should get equal opportunities, and no one should be deprived of the basic necessities of life. Dalits, Backward, Adivasis, Women, Divyang, when they come forward, only then the country will go ahead. Harmohan ji considered education most important for this change. His work in the education field is inspiring. Country is moving on this path through initiatives like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, Eklavya Schools for tribal areas, promotion of education in mother tongue “The country is moving forward on the mantra of empowerment through education and education itself is empowerment”, he added. Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav (18 October 1921 – 25 July 2012) Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav (18 October 1921 – 25 July 2012) was a towering figure and leader of the Yadav community. The Prime Minister’s participation in the programme is in recognition of the late leader’s contribution to farmers, backward classes and other sections of the society. Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav remained active in politics for a long time and served in various capacities as MLC, MLA, member of Rajya Sabha and chairman of ‘Akhil Bhartiya Yadav Mahasabha’. He was also instrumental in establishing many educational institutions in and around Kanpur with the help of his son Shri Sukhram Singh. Shri Harmohan Singh Yadav was awarded Shaurya Chakra in 1991 for his display of valour in protecting the lives of several Sikhs during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.",প্ৰয়াত শ্ৰী হৰমোহন সিং যাদৱৰ দশম পুণ্যতিথিৰ কাৰ্যসূচীত ভাষণ আগবঢ়ালে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-tributes-to-lal-bahadur-shastri-on-his-jayanti-2/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AF-2/,"Also shares some glimpses from Lal Bahadur Shastri’s Gallery in Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya in Delhi The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has paid tributes to former Prime Minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji on his Jayanti.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that today is a red letter day in the history of India. Be it territorial security or economic security, India is witnessing huge opportunities. Recalling the commissioning of INS Vikrant earlier today, the Prime Minister exuded the pride that every Indian is experiencing. Referring to the projects for which were inaugurated or foundation stones were laid, the Prime Minister said that these projects will increase the ease of living and employment in Karnataka especially, ‘One District and One Product’ scheme will facilitate the availability of market for the products of fishermen, artisans and farmers of the region. Remarking on the five vows (Panch Pran), the Prime Minister said that the first of the five vows that he had talked about from the Red Fort is the creation of a developed India. The Prime Minister said, “To build a developed India, it is very necessary to expand the manufacturing sector of the country, ‘Make in India’.” Highlighting the efforts that the country has made toward port-led development, the Prime Minister emphasised that it is an important mantra for development. As a result of such efforts, the capacity of India’s ports has almost doubled in just 8 years. Remarking on the prioritised infrastructure development in the last 8 years, the Prime Minister said that it is Karnataka that has benefited immensely from it. “Karnataka is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Sagarmala scheme”, the Prime Minister added. Highway Projects worth 70 thousand have been added in the last 8 years in the state and more than one lakh crore rupees worth of projects are in the pipeline, he added. The railway budget for the projects in Karnataka increased fourfold in the last 8 years. Observing the developments in the last 8 years, the Prime Minister said that more than 3 crore houses have been built for the poor in the country, and in Karnataka, the approval for more than 8 lakh pucca houses for the poor have been given. “Thousands of middle-class families have also been supported with crores of rupees to build their houses”, the Prime Minister added. He further highlighted that under the Jal Jeevan Mission, more than 6 crore households in the country have been linked with piped water facilities in just 3 years. “Piped water has reached more than 30 lakh, rural families of Karnataka, for the first time”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister mentioned that under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, about 4 crore poor people of the country have received free treatment during hospitalisation. “Due to this, about 50 thousand crore rupees have been saved from being spent for the poor. More than 30 lakh patients of Karnataka have also got the benefit of Ayushman Bharat”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister said that the government is making sure that those who were forgotten due to their weak financial conditions are not neglected. The Prime Minister further added that small farmers, small traders, fishermen, street vendors, and crores of such people have started getting the benefits of the country’s development for the first time. “They are joining the mainstream of development of India”, he said. Drawing everyone’s attention towards India’s seven and a half thousand kilometres coastal line, the Prime Minister said that we have to take full advantage of this potential of the country. The Prime Minister said, “When tourism grows, it benefits our cottage industries, our artisans, village industries, street vendors, auto rickshaw drivers, taxi drivers etc. I am glad that New Mangalore Port is continuously adding new facilities to boost cruise tourism.” “Today digital payments are at a historic level and our innovations like BHIM-UPI are grabbing the attention of the world”, the Prime Minister added. He further said that today, people of the country want fast and cheap internet with robust connectivity. The Prime Minister underlined that today, gram panchayats are being connected by laying about 6 lakh km of optical fiber. “The facility of 5G is going to bring a new revolution in this field. I am glad that the double-engine government of Karnataka is also working to fulfil the needs and aspirations of the people at a fast pace”, he added. Reflecting on the GDP figures that have come out a few days ago, the Prime Minister said that the policies made by India during the Corona period and the decisions taken have played a key role in the development of India. “Last year, despite so many global disruptions, India’s exports were worth a total of $ 670 billion i.e. 50 lakh crore rupees. Overcoming every challenge, India made a new record of merchandise export of $ 418 billion i.e. 31 lakh crore rupees”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister said that every sector related to the growth engine of the country is running at full capacity today. The service sector is also moving towards rapid growth. He said that the impact of PLI schemes can be seen very clearly in the manufacturing sector. “The entire electronic manufacturing sector including mobile phones has grown manifold”, he said. The Prime Minister also drew everyone’s attention to the emerging toy sector of India where the import of toys has decreased in 3 years and the export has increased almost as much. “All these are being directly benefited by the coastal areas of the country, which provide their resources for exporting Indian goods, which have major ports like Mangaluru”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister further added that with the efforts of the government, the country has witnessed a significant increase in coastal traffic over the years. “Due to increased facilities and resources at different ports of the country, the coastal movement has become easier now”, he added. “It is the effort of the government that port connectivity should be better, it should be accelerated. Therefore, under PM Gatishakti National Master Plan, more than two hundred and fifty projects of railways and roads have been identified which will help in seamless port connectivity”, the Prime Minister remarked. The Prime Minister threw the spotlight on the celebrations of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, and remembered the struggles faced by Queen Abbakka and Queen Chennabhaira Devi in saving India’s soil from the clutches of slavery. “Today, these brave women are a great inspiration for India moving forward in the field of exports”, he added. The Prime Minister concluded his address by referring to the Karavali region of Karnataka. He said, “ I always feel inspired by this energy of patriotism, of national resolve. May this energy seen in Mangaluru continue to brighten the path of such development, with the same wish, many congratulations and best wishes to all of you for these development projects.” Governor of Karnataka, Shri Thawar Chand Gehlot, Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri Basvaraj Bommai, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Former Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri B S Yediyurappa, Union Ministers of State, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, Shri Shantanu Thakur and Sushri Shobha Karandlaje, Member of Parliament, Shri Nalin Kumar Kateel, State Ministers, Shri Angara S, Shri Sunil Kumar V and Shri Kota Shrinivas Poojari were among those present on the occasion. Details of the projects Prime Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of mechanisation and industrialisation projects worth around Rs 3800 crores in Mangaluru. Prime Minister inaugurated the project worth over Rs 280 crore for mechanisation of Berth No. 14 for handling containers and other cargo, undertaken by the New Mangalore Port Authority. The mechanized terminal will increase efficiency and reduce the turnaround time, pre-berthing delay and dwell time in the Port by around 35%, thus giving a boost to the business environment. Phase I of the project has been successfully completed, thereby adding over 4.2 MTPA to the handling capacity, which would further increase to over 6 MTPA by 2025. Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of five projects worth around Rs 1000 crore, undertaken by the Port. The integrated LPG and Bulk Liquid POL Facility, equipped with a state-of-the-art cryogenic LPG storage tank terminal, will be capable of unloading full load VLGC (very large gas carriers) of 45,000 tonnes in a highly efficient manner. The facility will bolster Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana in the region while reinforcing the port’s status as one of the top LPG importing ports in the country. Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of projects for the construction of storage tanks and edible oil refinery, construction of bitumen storage and allied facilities and construction of bitumen & edible oil storage and allied facilities. These projects will improve the turnaround time of bitumen and edible oil vessels and reduce the overall freight cost for trade. Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for the development of the Fishing Harbour at Kulai, which will facilitate safe handling of fish catch and enable better prices in the global market. This work will be undertaken under the umbrella of the Sagarmala Programme and will result in significant socio-economic benefits for the fishermen community. Prime Minister also inaugurated two projects undertaken by Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited viz BS VI Upgradation Project and Sea Water Desalination Plant. The BS VI Upgradation Project, worth around Rs 1830 crores, will facilitate the production of ultra-pure environment-friendly BS-VI grade fuel (with sulphur content less than 10 PPM). The Sea Water Desalination Plant, set up at a cost of around Rs. 680 crores, will help reduce dependency on fresh water and ensure a regular supply of hydrocarbons and petrochemicals throughout the year. Having a capacity of 30 Million Litres per Day (MLD), the Plant converts seawater into water required for the refinery processes.",মাংগালুৰুত এলানি উন্নয়ণী প্ৰকল্প ৰাষ্ট্ৰৰ নামত উচৰ্গা কৰাৰ লগতে বহুকেইটা প্ৰকল্পৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-speech-at-foundation-stone-laying-ceremony-of-raja-mahendra-pratap-singh-state-university-in-aligarh/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%9C%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0/,"Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Smt. Anandiben Patel ji, the popular and firebrand Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath ji, Deputy Chief Minister, Dinesh Sharma ji, Ministers of the Government of Uttar Pradesh, other MPs, MLAs and my dear brothers and sisters of Aligarh, Today is a historic day for Aligarh and Western Uttar Pradesh. Today is also Radha Ashtami. This occasion makes it even more blessed. Radha is omnipresent in Brajbhoomi. I extend my warm greetings to all of you and to the entire nation on Radha Ashtami. We are fortunate that a series of development works is starting today on this holy day. It is in our culture that we remember our elders when any auspicious work happens. I am very much feeling the absence of the great son of this soil, late Kalyan Singh ji. Had Kalyan Singh ji been with us today, he would have been very happy to see the emerging profile of Aligarh in the defence sector and the establishment of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh State University. His soul would be blessing us. Friends, Thousands of years of Indian history is full of such patriots who have given direction to India from time to time with their tenacity and sacrifice. So many great personalities gave their all to our freedom movement. But it was the misfortune of the country that the next generations of the country were not acquainted with the sacrifices of such national heroes and leading ladies after independence. Many generations of the country were deprived of their sagas. Today the 21st century India is correcting those mistakes of the 20th century. Be it Maharaja Suheldev ji, Deenbandhu Chaudhary Chhotu Ram ji, or now Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji, sincere efforts are being made in the country to acquaint the new generation with their contribution in nation building. Today, when the country is celebrating 75 years of its independence, the Amrit Mahotsav of independence, these efforts have been given further impetus. This effort to salute the contribution of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh in the independence of India is one such sacrosanct occasion. Friends, Today every youth of the country, who is dreaming big and wants to achieve big goals, must know about Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji. We get to learn the indomitable will and passion to fulfill our dreams from the life of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji. He wanted the independence of India and he devoted every moment of his life to this. Not only did he inspire people by staying in India, he went to every corner of the world for the independence of India. Be it Afghanistan, Poland, Japan, South Africa, he risked his life and committed himself to free Mother India from the shackles. I would like to tell the youth of my country and listen to me carefully that whenever they find any goal difficult and encounter some difficulties, I request you to keep Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh in your mind and your spirits will be elevated. The way Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji worked for the independence of India with one goal and devotion continues to inspire us. And friends, While talking to you, I am also reminded of another great freedom fighter of the country, the son of Gujarat, Shyamji Krishna Varma ji. During the First World War, Raja Mahendra Pratap ji went to Europe especially to meet Shyamji Krishna Varma ji and Lala Hardayal ji. What was decided in that meeting resulted in the formation of India’s first government-in-exile in Afghanistan. This government was headed by Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji. I was fortunate that I was successful in bringing the ashes of Shyamji Krishna Varma ji to India after 73 years when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. And if you ever get a chance to visit Kutch, there is a very inspiring memorial of Shyamji Krishna Varma ji in Mandvi, where his ashes are kept and they inspire us to live for Mother India. Being the Prime Minister of the country, I have once again got this privilege to lay the foundation stone of a university in the name of a visionary and great freedom fighter like Raja Mahendra Pratap ji. This is the great fortune of my life. It is also energetic that you came in such a large number to give your blessings on such a holy occasion and I could also meet you. Friends, Not only did Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji fight for the independence of India, he also contributed actively in building the foundation of the future of India. He used his experiences from his trips abroad to modernize India’s education system. He built a modern technical college in Vrindavan with his own resources by donating his ancestral property. Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh had also given huge land for Aligarh Muslim University. Today, when the 21st century India is moving on the path of education and skill development during Amrit Mahotsav of freedom, the establishment of a university in the name of this worthy son of Ma Bharati is the real tribute to him. Many congratulations to Yogi ji and his entire team for turning this idea into a reality. Friends, This university will not only become a major center of modern education, but will also emerge as a center of modern defence studies, defence manufacturing related technology and manpower development in the country. The new National Education Policy’s features of skills and education in the local language will benefit the students of this university a great deal. The efforts of India to become self-reliant in military strength will give a new impetus to the studies in this university. Not only the country, but the entire world is witnessing India manufacturing defence equipment from modern grenades and rifles to fighter aircraft, drones, warships, etc. India is moving out of the image of a big defence importer of the world and moving towards making a new identity of an important defence exporter of the world. It has been 75 years of Independence, and we continued to import defence equipment. Uttar Pradesh is becoming a huge centre of this transformation and I being an MP from Uttar Pradesh feel very proud. Friends, A short while ago, I observed the progress of the ‘Aligarh Node’ of the Defence Corridor. More than one- and-a-half dozen defence manufacturing companies with investment worth billions of rupees will create thousands of jobs. New industries are being set up to manufacture small arms, armaments, drones and aerospace-related products, metal components, anti-drone systems etc in the Aligarh Node of the Defence Corridor. This will give a new identity to Aligarh and nearby areas. Friends, You must be aware that till now people used to rely on Aligarh for the security of their houses and shops. People were rest assured if they had a padlock from Aligarh. And today I feel like talking about something from my childhood. It is about 55-60 years old. We were kids then when the salesman of the Aligarh padlocks, a Muslim patron, used to come to our village every three months. I still remember he used to wear a black jacket. He used to sell his padlocks in the shops and would come after three months to collect his money. He would also sell padlocks to traders in the neighboring villages. He had a very good friendship with my father. He used to stay in our village for four-six days during his visit. He used to leave the money collected during the day with my father who would take care of it. And when he would leave the village after four-six days, he would take the money from my father and board the train. During childhood, we were very familiar with two cities of Uttar Pradesh — Sitapur and Aligarh. If someone in our village had to undergo treatment for eyes, he was advised to go to Sitapur. We didn’t understand much then, but would hear about Sitapur most often. Similarly, we would quite often hear about Aligarh due to that gentleman. But friends, Aligarh, which was famous for protecting the houses and shops with its famous padlocks, will now also be famous for creating products that will protect the boundaries of the nation. Such weapons will be made here. Under the One District One Product scheme, the UP government has given a new identity to the padlocks and hardware of Aligarh. This is creating new opportunities for the youth and MSMEs. Now the existing entrepreneurs and MSMEs will get special benefits and new MSMEs will also get incentives through the defence industry. The Aligarh node of the Defence Corridor will also create new opportunities for small entrepreneurs. Brothers and sisters, One of the world’s finest missiles, BrahMos, is also proposed to be built at the Lucknow node of the Defence Corridor. About 9,000 crore rupees are being invested in the next few years for this purpose. Another missile manufacturing unit is proposed to be set up at the Jhansi node as well. The UP Defence Corridor is coming up with such huge investments and employment opportunities. Friends, Uttar Pradesh is emerging as a very attractive place for every small and big investor of the country and the world. This happens when the necessary environment for investment is created and the necessary facilities are made available. Today Uttar Pradesh is becoming a great example of the double engine government’s double benefit. Following the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Yogi ji and his entire team have prepared Uttar Pradesh for a new role. It has to be continued further with the efforts of everyone. All those who were kept away from the opportunities of development in the society are being given opportunities in education and government jobs. Today Uttar Pradesh is talked about for big infrastructure projects and important decisions. Western Uttar Pradesh is a big beneficiary of this. Construction of Integrated Industrial Township in Greater Noida, Multi Modal Logistics Hub, Jewar International Airport, Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System, Metro connectivity, modern highways and expressways is happening in Western Uttar Pradesh. These projects worth thousands of crore rupees in UP will become a big basis for India’s progress in the coming years. Brothers and sisters, I am very happy to see the same UP, which was seen as a stumbling block in the development of the country, is leading the big campaigns of the country today. Be it a campaign to build toilets, to give pucca houses to the poor, gas connections under Ujjwala, electricity connections, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, Yogi ji’s UP has taken the lead in achieving the country’s goals by implementing every scheme and mission. I remember and I cannot forget the days when every scheme of the poor used to be blocked here before 2017. The Centre used to write dozens of letters for implementation of each and every scheme, but the pace of the work was very slow here… I am talking about the situation before 2017… It would not happen as it should have. Friends, The people of UP cannot forget the kind of scams that used to happen here and how the governance was handed over to the corrupt. Today, Yogi ji’s government is sincerely engaged in the development of UP. There was a time when the administration here was run by goons and mafia, but now the extortionists and those running the mafia raj are behind bars. I especially want to remind the people of Western Uttar Pradesh. Till four-five years ago, families in this region used to live in fear in their own homes. Sisters and daughters were afraid to leave their house for schools and colleges. The parents used to wait with bated breath until the daughters returned home. In such an atmosphere, many people had to leave their ancestral homes and migrate. Today a criminal in UP thinks a hundred times before doing something like this! The poor are heard and there is respect for them in Yogi ji’s government. The free vaccine to all campaign is a great proof of the working style of UP under the leadership of Yogi ji. Uttar Pradesh has so far administered more than 8 crore vaccines. UP also holds the record for the highest number of vaccinations in a day in the country. The concern of the poor is the top priority of the government in this crisis of Corona. Free food grains are being distributed for months so that the poor do not go hungry. In order to save the poor from starvation, what the developed countries of the world could not do, that is being done by India and Uttar Pradesh. Friends, In this elixir of independence, the rural economy is also undergoing rapid changes. Decades ago, Chaudhary Charan Singh ji himself had shown the country how to keep pace with change. We all know how much the agricultural laborers and small farmers of the country benefited from the path shown by Chaudhary Sahib. Many generations of today are living a dignified life because of those reforms. It is very important that the government should stand as a partner with the small farmers of the country whom Chaudhary Saheb was concerned about. These small farmers have less than two hectares of land and the number of small farmers in our country is more than 80 percent. In other words, out of the land owned by 10 farmers of the country, there are 8 farmers who have a very small piece of land. Therefore, it is the constant effort of the central government to empower the small farmers. Be it one-and-a-half times MSP, expansion of Kisan Credit Card, improvement in insurance scheme, provision of Rs 3,000 pension; many such decisions are empowering small farmers. During Corona, the government has directly transferred more than one lakh crore rupees to the accounts of small farmers across the country and the farmers of UP have received more than 25,000 crore rupees. I am happy that new records have been made for procurement at MSP in the last four years in UP. The problems related to the payment of sugarcane are also being redressed continuously. In the last four years, more than 1 lakh 40 thousand crore rupees have been paid to the sugarcane farmers of UP. The doors of new possibilities for the sugarcane farmers of UP will be opened in the next few years. The ethanol produced from sugarcane, which is made into bio-fuel, is being used for fuel. It is going to benefit the sugarcane farmers of western UP as well. Friends, Yogi ji’s government and the central government are working hard shoulder to shoulder for the progress of the entire western Uttar Pradesh, including Aligarh. Together we have to make this region more prosperous, enhance the potential of sons and daughters here and save Uttar Pradesh from all anti-development forces. May all of us be successful in our goals with the inspiration of national heroes like Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh ji. You came to bless me in such a large number, I got the privilege of seeing all of you, I also thank you for this and I wish you all the very best. You have to speak with me by raising both your hands. I will say Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh, you will say with your raised hands – Long live, long live. Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh Long live, long live. Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh Long live, long live. Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh Long live, long live. Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

This is my first visit to your beautiful country. In October last year, I had the opportunity to welcome you in India. With these two visits, we have been able to bring closeness and dynamism in our relationships. Our two countries not only share the values of democracy, freedom of expression, and the rule of law but we both also have many complementary strengths. Friends, During the India-Denmark Virtual Summit in October 2020, we gave our relationship the status of a Green Strategic Partnership. During our discussion todays, we reviewed the joint work-plan of our Green Strategic Partnership. I am happy that significant progress has been made in various fields, especially in the areas of renewable energy, health, ports, shipping, circular economy and water management. More than 200 Danish companies are operating in various areas in India – such as wind energy, shipping, consultancy, food processing, engineering. There are many such areas, they are getting the benefit of increasing ‘Ease of Doing Business’ in India and our macroeconomic reforms. There are plenty of investment opportunities for Danish companies and Danish Pension Funds in India’s infrastructure sector and green industries. Today, we also discussed a number of regional and global issues, including India-EU relations, Indo-Pacific and Ukraine. We hope that negotiations on the India-EU Free Trade Agreement will be concluded as soon as possible. We stressed on ensuring a free, open, inclusive and rules-based Indo-Pacific region. We called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and adoption of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the problem. We also discussed our cooperation in the field of climate. India is also committed to fulfilling the resolutions taken at the Glasgow COP-26. We have agreed to explore more opportunities for cooperation in the Arctic region. Excellency, I am sure that the relations between India and Denmark will reach new heights under your leadership.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister noted the significant contribution of Meerut and its surrounding region in giving a new direction to independent India.

This region has kept the flame of patriotism alive, the Prime Minister emphasized. “In Indian history, Meerut has not just been a city but a significant center of culture and strength”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister narrated his exhilaration on feeling the spirit of the Museum of Freedom, Amar Jawan Jyoti and temple of Baba Aughar Nath ji.

The Sports University of Meerut is being dedicated to Major Dhyan Chand today, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister noted the change of ethos in the state of Uttar Pradesh where earlier criminals and mafias used to play their games. He recalled the period where illegal occupation, harassing daughters used to go scot free. He remembered the insecurity and lawlessness of earlier times. He lauded that now the Yogi government is imposing fear of law among such criminals. This change has brought confidence among the daughters of bringing laurels for the entire country. The Prime Minister said youth is the cornerstone and also expansion of New India. Youth is the shaper and also the leader of New India. Our youth today have the heritage of antiquity and also have a sense of modernity. And so, where the youth will go, India will also move. And the world is going to go where India goes. The Prime Minister highlighted that in the last few years, his government has given top priority to the Indian players to get four tools – resources, modern facilities for training, international exposure and transparency in selection. The Prime Minister stressed that for sports in the country to thrive, it is necessary that the youth should have faith in sports and should be encouraged to take up sports as a profession. “This is my resolve, and my dream too! I wish our youth to see sports like other professions”, he said. The Prime Minister remarked that the government linked sports with employment. Schemes like Target Olympics Podium (TOPS) are providing all support to top sportspersons to compete at the highest level. Khelo India Abhiyan is recognizing talent very early and all support is being given to groom them for international level.India’s recent performance in Olympics and Para-Olympics, said the Prime Minister, is a proof of a new India’s rise in the play field. With the advent of sporting infrastructure in villages and small towns, there are a rising number of sportspersons from these towns. The Prime Minister said in the new National Education Policy, priority has been given to sports. Sports have now been kept in the same category as science, commerce or other studies. Earlier sports were considered as extra curricular activities, but now sports schools will have it as a proper subject. The Prime Minister said that the sporting eco-system comprising sports, sports management, sports writing, sports psychology etc, creates new possibilities. He said this generates trust in the society that moving towards sports is the right decision. With resources, a sporting culture takes shape and Sports University will play a big role in this, he added. Talking about the sporting culture of Meerut, the Prime Minister pointed out that the city exports sporting goods to more than 100 countries. This way, Meerut is not only vocal for local but also turning local into global, the Prime Minister said emphasizing the need for making the country Aatmnirbhar in the sector through the emerging sports clusters. The Prime Minister mentioned that the double-engine government in Uttar Pradesh is establishing many universities. He listed Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath Ayush University in Gorakhpur, Dr Rajendra Prasad Law University in Prayagraj, State Institute of Forensic Sciences in Lucknow, Raja Mahendra Pratap singh State University in Aligarh, Maa Shakumbari University in Saharanpur and Major Dhyan Chand University in Meerut. “Our goal is clear. The Youth should not only become role models but also recognize their role models”, The Prime Minister commented. The Prime MInister informed that under the Svamitiva scheme more than 23 lakh titles (Gharauni) have been given in 75 districts. Farmers of the state have received crores of rupees in their account under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Farmers of the state have also benefited by the record payment to the sugarcane farmers. Similarly, 12 thousand crore rupees worth of ethanol have been purchased from UP, the Prime Minister informed. The Prime Minister remarked that the role of governments is like that of a guardian. The government should encourage those with merit and should not try to justify mistakes as follies of youth. The PM congratulated the current Uttar Pradesh government for creating a record number of Government jobs for the youth. Thousands of youth who got training from ITI have been given employment in big companies. He added that lakhs of youth have benefited from National Apprenticeship Scheme and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana. Meerut is also becoming the hub of connectivity by Ganga expressway, Regional Rapid Rail Transit System and Metro.",উত্তৰ প্ৰদেশৰ মিৰাটত মেজৰ ধ্যান চান্দ ক্ৰীড়া বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-visit-varanasi-on-7th-july/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A7%AD-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87/,"PM to inaugurate and lay foundation stone of multiple development initiatives worth over Rs. 1800 crores Projects focussed on improving infrastructure in the city and enhancing ease of living for the common man PM to inaugurate Akhil Bhartiya Shiksha Samagam on implementation of NEP PM to also inaugurate Akshay Patra Mid Day Meal Kitchen Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Varanasi on 7th July, 2022.

I congratulate all of you for organizing this Bharat Drone Mahotsav. I can see all the senior people sitting in front of me. I got late. It was not because I came late. I came here on time, but I was so engrossed at the exhibition of drones that I could not keep track of time. I came here late, yet I could hardly see ten percent of the exhibits, but I was very impressed. Wish I had more time, so that I could go to each stall and watch the works of the youth and listen to their stories. Though I could not visit all the stalls, yet I would urge all the government departments and officers at different levels who play a role in policy making to spend at least two-three hours here and try to understand each and every thing. They can find many technologies which can be used in their offices. There are many such initiatives which we can adopt in governance. However, it was a very pleasant experience for me as the youths at different stalls proudly claimed their products were made in India and they had developed them indigenously. Friends, Our farmers, drone engineers, start-ups and leaders of various companies from across the country are also present in this Mahotsav. And I am sure that thousands of people are going to be a part of it in the next two days. At one of the exhibitions, I saw those who actually run their business with drones. I was also fortunate to meet many young farmers who are using drone technology in agriculture. I also met young engineers who are promoting drone technology. Today 150 drone pilot certificates have also been given here. I extend my best wishes to all those drone pilots and everyone involved in it. Friends, It is amazing to see the enthusiasm regarding drone technology in India. The energy that is visible is a reflection of the quantum jump in the drone services and drone-based industries in India. It shows the enormous possibilities of employment generation in India. Today, India is moving at a fast pace towards becoming the doyen in drone technology in the world on the back of its start-up strength. Friends, This festival is not only a celebration of technology but also of new governance of new India and unprecedented positivity towards new experiments. Incidentally, this was the time eight years ago when we started implementing new mantras of good governance in India. We made ease of living and ease of doing business our priority following the path of Minimum Government, Maximum Governance. Following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, we chose the path of connecting every citizen and every region of the country with the government. We relied on modern technology and made it a part of the system to bridge the divide of accessibility and delivery of services in the country. A very small section of the country had access to technology and it was assumed that technology was meant only for the rich. It has no place in the life of an ordinary human being. By changing that whole mindset, we have taken many steps towards making technology accessible to all and we are going to take further steps. Friends, We have often seen some people try to create fear to shun technology. ‘It will lead to this or that if new technology comes’. It is true that there used to be a clock tower in the whole city once upon a time. The village was dependent on time when its clock rang. Who would have thought then that there would be a watch on every wrist? They would have found it strange when the change happened. There would still be some people wishing to install a clock tower in their villages. It was useful at some point. In other words, we need to change ourselves and the systems accordingly and only then progress is possible. We have also experienced this during the corona vaccination drive. Technology was considered a part of the problem during the earlier governments and efforts were also made to prove that it was anti-poor. As a result, there was an atmosphere of indifference regarding the use of technology in governance before 2014. Only a handful people adopted it according to their interest, but it did not become a part of the system. The country’s poor, underprivileged and the middle-class people suffered the most and the people who were full of aspirations were forced to live in despair. Friends, There is no denying that new technology causes disruption. It seeks new mediums, writes new chapters and creates new paths and new systems. We all have seen how simple things were turned out to be difficult. I don’t know how many of you would have stood in a queue for food grains, kerosene and sugar at the ration shop in your childhood. There was a time when one spent hours in the queue for this. I remember that I had this fear in my childhood that what if the grains run out of shortage or the shop closes by the time my number comes. The same fear existed among the poor seven-eight years ago. But I am satisfied that we have put an end to this fear today with the help of technology. Now there is a belief among the people that they will get what they deserve. Technology has played a huge role in ensuring last mile delivery and taking forward the vision of saturation. And I know that we can achieve the goal of ‘Antyodaya’ (welfare of all) by moving forward at the same pace. The experience of the last 7-8 years strengthens my faith further. My confidence is growing. It is due to the trinity of JAM — Jan Dhan, Aaadhar and Mobile that today we are able to deliver ration to the poor with complete transparency across the country. We ensured free ration to 80 crore poor even during this pandemic. Friends, It is our power to correctly design, efficiently develop and implement our technology solutions that today India is successfully running the world’s largest vaccination campaign. With the help of the robust UPI framework developed by the country, lakhs of crores of rupees are being transferred directly to the bank account of the poor. Women, farmers and students are now getting help directly from the government. In the new India of the 21st century, we have made technology an important tool to give new strength, speed and scale to the country. Today we are developing the right solutions related to technology and we have also developed the skill to scale up them. Promoting drone technology in the country is another means of taking forward this commitment of good governance and ease of living. We have got another such smart tool in the form of a drone, which is going to become a part of the life of ordinary Indians very soon. Be it our cities or remote villages and countryside areas, farms or playgrounds, work related to defence or disaster management, the use of drones is going to increase everywhere. Similarly, whether it is the tourism sector, media, or film industry, drones will help in increasing both quality and content there. We are going to see more use of drones in the coming days than what is being used now. I hold a PRAGATI meeting every month. The Chief Secretaries of all the states are on the screen and there are discussions on many topics. I urge them to give me a live demonstration of the project going on with the drone. So, it becomes very easy to coordinate things and it also facilitates decision making. When the reconstruction of Kedarnath started, it was difficult for me to go to Kedarnath every time, but I used to regularly monitor the development work through drones during the review meetings in my office. Now-a-days, if one has to check quality in the government works, it is not necessary to inform them in advance that I am coming for inspection. Then everything will be fine. If I send a drone, it comes with all the information without their knowledge. Friends, Drone technology is also going to play an important role in making the life of the farmer in the village more convenient and prosperous. Today, there are good roads, electricity and water in the villages, optical fiber is reaching and digital technology has expanded unprecedentedly, but still most of the work related to land and agriculture in the villages happens with the old system. There is every kind of wastage in that old system, there are many problems too, and productivity is not known. The people of our villages and our small farmers suffer the most. The land and resources of the small farmers are not enough to challenge the disputes and they can make rounds of courts. You see, the administration is entirely dependent on the employees of the revenue department from land records to assessing crop damage during droughts or floods. The greater the human interface, the greater the lack of trust, and rise of conflicts. If there are disputes then there is also a waste of time and money. If a person makes estimates then accurate estimates are not possible. A new tool in the form of drone has come as a powerful and effective means to overcome all these problems. Friends, The PM Svamitva Yojana is also an example of how drone technology is becoming the basis of a big revolution. Under this scheme, digital mapping of every property in the villages of the country is being done and digital property cards are being given to the people for the first time. Human intervention has reduced and as a result the scope for discrimination has ended. Drones have played a big role in this. A while back I also got an opportunity to understand the technology of flying a Svamitva drone. I got late because of that also. I am happy that about 65 lakh property cards have been generated in the country so far with the help of drones. And the ones who have got this card are satisfied that they have got the correct details of their lands. They have said this with complete satisfaction. Otherwise, it takes years to reach a consensus if we have to measure a small piece of land. Friends, Today we can see our farmers are increasingly attracted towards drone technology, there is an enthusiasm and they are ready to adopt it. This has not happened all of a sudden. This is because the use of technology has increased in the agriculture sector in the last 7-8 years. Now technology is not a stranger to the farmers. Once they see it and check it and if they have faith they do not make delays in adopting it. While I was talking to farmers, an engineer from Madhya Pradesh told me that people now call him ‘drone wala’. He is an engineer, but he is known for drones. He said once the farmers told him that the cultivation of pulses can be increased if there is a drone. They told him that it is difficult to spray pesticides in the field of pulses because of the height of the crop. Half of the pesticides get sprayed on their body. He said it would now become easy to take care of the crops and spray pesticides on crops higher than the height of humans because of drones. It will now be easier to cultivate pulses. How things change if a person works with the farmers in the villages. Friends, Today, we have made efforts to bring technology in the agriculture sector and Soil Health Card has emerged as a great force in itself for our farmers. These drone services can become soil testing labs in villages and there can be new employment avenues. The farmers can get their soil tested every time to know the requirements needed for their soil. Micro irrigation and sprinkler are becoming part of the modern irrigation system. Look at the use of GPS technology in crop insurance scheme, digital market like e-NAM, neem coated urea, or direct money transfer in the account of farmers through technology! The efforts made in the last eight years have greatly strengthened the confidence of the farmers in technology. Today the farmers of the country are more comfortable with technology and adopting it effortlessly. Now drone technology is going to take our agriculture sector to another level. So far, how much and which manure has to be put on soil, what is deficient in the soil and the amount of irrigation have been based on rough estimates. This has been a major reason for low yields and crop failure. But smart technology-based drones can be of great use. Drones can also identify which plant, or which part of the plant, is affected. And that’s why it doesn’t spray indiscriminately, but sprays smartly. This also saves the cost of expensive pesticides. In short, the small farmers will also get power and speed and their progress will also be ensured with the help of drone technology. As we celebrate the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom, it is my dream that everyone in India should have a smartphone, a drone in every field and prosperity in every home. Friends, We are strengthening the network of health and wellness centers in every village of the country and promoting telemedicine. The delivery of medicines and other items in villages has been a major challenge and there is going to be a possibility of delivery by drone in a very short time and at a faster speed. We have also experienced the benefit of the delivery of the Covid vaccines by drone. It can prove to be very helpful in providing quality health services to remote tribal, hilly and inaccessible areas. Friends, There is another aspect of technology to which I would like to draw your attention. In the past, technology and its inventions were considered for the elite class. Today we are making technology available to masses first. Drone technology is also an example. There were a lot of restrictions on drones till a few months back. We have removed most of the restrictions in a very short time. We are also moving towards creating a strong drone manufacturing ecosystem in India through schemes like PLI. When technology goes to the masses, then the possibilities of its use also increase. Today our farmers, students and start-ups are looking for new possibilities with drones. With the drone technology available to the farmers in the villages, the possibility of using it more in various fields has also increased. You will see that different types of uses of drones will emerge not only in the cities but also in the countryside and our countrymen will innovate more in this regard. I believe there will be more experiments in drone technology and it will have new uses in the near future. Friends, Today I invite all the investors of the country and the world to tap similar possibilities in India. This is the right time for India and the world to develop the best drone technology from here. I would appeal to the experts and to the people of the world of technology to expand drone technology as much as possible and take it to as many people as possible. I also call upon the youth of the country to come forward with new start-ups in the field of drones. I am sure together we will play our part in empowering common people with the drone technology. It can also help the police in terms of security. Drones can also be useful in occasions like Kumbh Mela. Drones can provide solutions to the problems of traffic jams. It can be used in so many ways. We need to integrate our systems with these technologies. Today I was watching drones dropping seeds for trees in the forests through bullets. When drones were not there, I did an experiment. I do local experiments. There was no such technology then. When I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, I found that it was difficult to plant trees in mountains. What did I do? I took the help of those involved in gas balloons. I told them to put seeds in the balloons and release them on the mountains. When the balloons would hit the ground, seeds would scatter. And when the rains come, the seeds would hopefully grow into trees. Today drones are doing the same thing effortlessly. The seeds can be geo-tracked, or whether they are turning into trees or not. We can also monitor forest fires through the use of drones. We can take prompt action even in the event of a small incident. That is we can use drones for imaginary things and expand our systems. I am sure that this Drone Mahotsav will be useful to many from the point of view of curiosity. Moreover, those visiting the exhibition would be prompted to do something new, would attempt to bring changes and try to introduce them to various systems so that we can achieve the technology-driven delivery ultimately. With this belief, I once again wish you all the very best. Thanks a lot!",দিল্লীৰ প্ৰগতি ময়দানত ইণ্ডিয়া ড্ৰোন ফেষ্টিভেলৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পাঠ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-during-the-inauguration-of-defexpo22-at-mahatma-mandir-convention-and-exhibition-centre-in-gandhinagar-gujarat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D/,"Governor of Gujarat Acharya Devvrat ji, Defence Minister of the country Shri Rajnath Singh ji, Popular Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel ji, Minister in Gujarat Government Jagdish Bhai, all other senior members of the Council of Ministers, CDS General Anil Chauhan ji, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R. Hari Kumar, Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande, all other dignitaries, all foreign dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! A warm welcome to all of you in this festival of a strong, capable and self-reliant India on the soil of Gujarat. While welcoming you as the Prime Minister of the country, I feel equally proud to welcome you all as the son of this soil. This event of DefExpo-2022 is painting a grand image of New India, the resolution for which we have taken in ‘Amritkaal’. This not only showcases the development of the nation but also the participation of the states. It also holds the power of the youth, their youthful dreams, determination, courage, and their strength. Moreover, it has hope for the world and a plethora of opportunities for cooperation with friendly countries. Friends, Defence Expo used to take place in our country earlier too, but the Defence Expo this time is unprecedented! It signifies a new beginning. This is the first ever Defence Expo in the country where only Indian companies are participating with only ‘Made in India’ Defence equipment. For the first time in a Defence Expo, we are presenting to the world the various different products developed on the soil of India with the sweat and hard work of the people of India, the Indian companies, Indian scientists as well as the power of our youth today from the land of iron man Sardar Patel. It includes more than 1300 exhibitors comprising Indian industries, some joint ventures related to Indian industries, MSMEs and more than 100 startups. In a way, all of you here and the countrymen and the people of the world are getting a glimpse of both our potential and possibilities at once. To realize these possibilities, for the first time, more than 450 MoUs and agreements are being signed. Friends, We wanted to organize this event a long time back. The people of Gujarat know this very well. Due to certain circumstances we had to change the timings, due to which there was a slight delay. The guests who were to come from abroad were also inconvenienced, but the biggest ever Defence Expo of the country has marked the beginning of a strong new future. I know that this has caused inconvenience to some countries, but a large number of countries have supported us with a positive attitude. Friends, I am glad that 53 friendly countries from Africa stand shoulder to shoulder with us as India is shaping up these future opportunities. The second India-Africa Defence Dialogue is also going to start on this occasion. This friendship or relationship between India and African countries rests on that old trust, which is getting stronger with time and is touching new dimensions. I want to inform my friends from Africa that the land of Gujarat where you have come today has a very old and close relationship with Africa. During the construction of the first train in Africa, the people from Kutch of Gujarat had gone to Africa, and under challenging circumstances our workers had worked diligently and had played a major role in laying the foundation for modern railways in Africa. Not only this, if you go to Africa today, the word ‘dukan’ that is originally a gujarati word is commonly used there. ‘Roti’, ‘Bhaji’ too are the words associated with African life now. Even for a global leader like Mahatma Gandhi, Gujarat was his birthplace while Africa was his first-ever work place. This love for Africa is still there in the heart of India’s foreign policy. During the Corona period, when the whole world was worried about getting vaccines, India prioritised our friendly African countries and delivered the vaccines there. We have tried to stand shoulder to shoulder with Africa in every need, from medicines to peace missions. Now the cooperation and coordination between us in the Defence sector will take these relations to a new height. Friends, The Defence Ministers’ Conclave of ‘Indian Ocean Region Plus’ (IOR+) is an important dimension of this event. 46 of our friendly nations are participating in this event. Today, from international security to global trade, maritime security has emerged as a global priority. In 2015, I had also put forward the vision of Security and Growth for All in the Region i.e. ‘SAGAR’ in Mauritius. As I said in the Shangri La Dialogue in Singapore, India’s engagement in the Indo-Pacific region, from the African coasts to the America, is inclusive. Today the role of the merchant navy has also expanded in the era of globalization. The world’s expectations from India have increased manifold, and I want to assure the world that India will continue to make every effort to meet your expectations. We will never stop. Therefore, this Defence Expo is also a symbol of global trust in India. With the presence of so many countries, a huge potential of the world has gathered on the soil of Gujarat. I heartily welcome all the friendly nations of India and their representatives to this event. I congratulate the people of Gujarat, especially Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel and his entire team for this grand event. Today’s Defence Expo is giving a new height to the identity of Gujarat in terms of its development and industrial capability in the country and around the world. I am sure that in the coming times, Gujarat will also become a major centre of the Defence industry, which will also contribute a lot to the security and strategic capability of India. Friends, I was looking at the screen and the people of Deesa seemed full of enthusiasm. There was excitement and vigour. The construction of Deesa Airfield is also a significant achievement for the security of the country and the development of the region. Deesa is only 130 km from the International Border. If our forces, especially our air force, are based in Deesa, we will be able to respond better to any misadventure on the western border. Brothers and sisters of Deesa, my best wishes to you from Gandhinagar! Now the future of Deesa, Banaskantha and Patan districts is shining bright! This land was given to Deesa on behalf of Gujarat for this airfield in the year 2000 itself. When I was the Chief Minister here, I constantly tried to start its construction work. I was repeatedly explaining its importance to the then central government. I had also given a lot of land for this purpose but nothing happened for 14 years. So many question marks were put on files that it took time to put things into the right perspective even after I went there (at the Centre). After we formed the government, we decided to make an operational base in Deesa and the expectations of our forces are being met today. My friends from the defence, the Chief of Defence and everyone used to always remind me of this and today this project has been accomplished under the leadership of Chaudhari ji. My heartiest congratulations to Deesa as well as to the Air Force! This area will now become an effective centre of defence and security for the country. Just as Banaskantha and Patan had emerged as the centre of ‘Suryashakti’ or solar energy in Gujarat, the same Banaskantha and Patan will now also become the centre of ‘Vayushakti’ for the country. Friends, Space technology is a great example to ensure the future security of any strong nation. I am told that various challenges in this area have been reviewed and identified by the three Services. We have to work fast to solve them. ‘Mission Defence Space’ will also give an opportunity to the private sector of the country to exhibit its potential. Looking at the future possibilities in space, India will have to ramp up its preparation further. Our Defence Forces will have to find new Innovative Solutions. India’s power in space should not be limited, and its benefits should not be limited only to the people of India. This is also our mission and vision. Space technology is shaping up India’s liberal-minded space diplomacy, giving birth to new possibilities. Many African countries and smaller countries are benefiting from the same. There are more than 60 developing countries with whom India is sharing its space science. The South Asia satellite is an effective example of the same. By next year, the ten ASEAN countries will also get real-time access to India’s satellite data. Even developed countries like Europe and America are using our satellite data. Besides, this field has an immense potential for maritime trade. Through this, we are getting real time information for better income and better security of our fishermen. We know that keeping the time limit and quality in mind, these space-related possibilities will be realized by the youth of my country who have infinite dreams. The youth building the future will take space technology to newer heights. Therefore, these subjects are the priority of the Defence Expo. The inspiration and glory of a scientist like Dr. Vikram Sarabhai are also attached to this land of Gujarat. That inspiration will give a fresh boost to our resolutions. And friends, Today, when it comes to the Defence sector and the future warfare, its reins are in a way in the hands of the youth. The role of innovation and research by the youth of India is huge in it. Therefore, this Defence Expo is like a window to the future for the youth of India. Friends, In the Defence sector, India is moving ahead with the mantra of intent, innovation and implementation. Till 8 years ago, India was recognized as the world’s largest Defence importer. We used to buy defence equipment from all over the world and pay the money. But New India showed intent and willpower. Now ‘Make in India’ is becoming the success story of the defence sector today. Our Defence exports have grown 8 times in the past 5 years. We are exporting Defence equipment to more than 75 countries of the world. In 2021-22, India’s Defence export has reached $ 1.59 billion i.e. about 13 thousand crore rupees and in the coming time we have set a target to take it to 5 billion dollars i.e. 40 thousand crore rupees. These exports are not limited to certain equipment and certain countries only. Indian Defence companies today are becoming an important part of the global supply chain. We are supplying ‘State of the Art’ Equipment of Global Standard. Today, on one hand many countries are showing interest in modern fighter jets like Tejas of India, while on the other hand our companies are also supplying parts of Defence equipment to countries like America, Israel and Italy. Friends, Every Indian takes pride when he hears that the BrahMos missile ‘Made in India’ is considered the deadliest and the most advanced in its category. For many countries, the BrahMos missile has emerged as their preferred choice. Friends, The world is relying on India’s technology today, because India’s armed forces have proved their capabilities. The Indian Navy has inducted state-of-the-art aircraft carriers like INS-Vikrant in its fleet. This engineering giant and colossal masterpiece has been manufactured by Cochin Shipyard Limited using indigenous technology. The Indian Air Force has inducted the powerful Light Combat Helicopters manufactured under ‘Make in India’ programme. Similarly, our Army is also buying indigenous weapons and combat guns from Indian companies today. Modern artillery being built here in Hazira, Gujarat, is enhancing the security of the country’s border today. Friends, Our policies, reforms and ease of doing business played a major role in bringing the country to this point. India has earmarked 68 percent of its Defence procurement budget for Indian companies. That is, we have set aside 68% of the defence budget for domestic goods. This is a very crucial decision, and this decision has been possible due to the progressive leadership and the courage of India’s armed forces. It is not propelled by political motives. This decision has been taken by the will of the military. Today I am proud of the fact that I have such soldiers and officers in my army who are taking such important decisions forward. Apart from this, we have opened the Defence sector to startups, industry and academia for research and innovation. We have taken a bold decision to hand over 25 percent of the research budget to the new generation in the private academic sector and I trust my country’s younger generation. If the Government of India gives them Rs 100, I am sure they will give back Rs 10,000 to the country. This is the strength of the young generation of my country. I am glad that along with the efforts of the government, our forces have also come forward and have decided that more and more equipment will be bought within the country for its Defence. The armed forces together have also come up with two lists of the various equipment. One list consists of only those equipment that will be purchased from the Indian companies while the other will include some equipment that we can purchase from other countries if needed. I am glad to say that today they have added 101 more things to the first type of list or the ‘Made in India only’ list. These decisions also show the potential of self-reliant India, and are also a symbol of the increasing confidence of the soldiers of the country in their country’s military equipment. Now there will be 411 such equipment and products of the Defence sector, which India will buy only under ‘Make in India’. Just imagine the way it will strengthen the foundation of Indian companies, boost our research and innovation and take our Defence manufacturing sector to a great height! This is going to bring a huge benefit to the young generation of my country. Friends, In the midst of this discussion, I would like to mention one more thing. We have a lot of life experience. Let’s take one example. In a train’s berth, if four people are sitting on that seat, these four wouldn’t allow any fifth person to sit there. The same situation has been observed with the defence manufacturing companies of the world. There used to be a monopoly of a few companies in the field of Defence supply in the world. They did not allow any new company to enter. But India has made its place with courage. Today, this skill of the youth of India is emerging as an option for the world, friends. The potential of the youth of India in the Defence sector is coming to the fore-front and it is for the welfare of the world. So, it is providing new opportunities and options to the world. I am sure that due to the efforts of the youth, the defence sector of the country will be strengthened in the coming days. But at the same time the strength of the country and the capabilities of the youth of the country will also increase manifold. I am able to see global good in the things we are exhibiting today in the Defence Expo. This will be of great benefit to the small countries of the world that are usually left behind in terms of defence and security due to lack of resources. Friends, India sees the defence sector as an infinite sky of opportunities and positive possibilities. Today we have two Defence Corridors, one each in UP and Tamil Nadu that are moving ahead in the direction of development at a rapid pace. Several big companies around the world are coming to invest in India. A large network of supply chains is developing behind this investment. These big companies, our MSMEs and small industries are getting a boost due to this. Our MSMEs will cooperate; and I am sure that capital is going to reach these small industries as well. Lakhs of crores of investment in this sector is going to create huge employment opportunities for the youth in those areas. So, there is a possibility of achieving a new height of growth. I would also like to call upon all the companies present in the Gujarat Defence Expo to mould these opportunities keeping the India of the future in mind. Don’t miss your chance! Innovate, take a pledge to be the best in the world, and give shape to the dreams of a strong developed India. I assure the youth, researchers and innovators that I am with you. For your bright futures, I am ready to work tremendously hard today. Friends, The country is changing rapidly. I believe that you too can feel it. There was a time when this country used to release pigeons; but today we are releasing cheetahs. With this power the incidents may seem small but the message is strong. Words may be simple, but the power is unmatched. Today India’s youth power, India’s power is becoming a center of hope for the world. And today’s Defence Expo is showcased in front of you in a similar form. I congratulate our Defence Minister Rajnath ji from the bottom of my heart for the hard work and effort he has put in. He speaks less, but his actions are solid. I congratulate him and his entire team. Wishing you all the very best and a very Happy Diwali! Happy New Gujarati Year to the people of Gujarat. Thank you.","গুজৰাটৰ গান্ধীনগৰত মহাত্মা গান্ধী সমাৰোহ আৰু প্ৰদৰ্শনী কেন্দ্ৰত ডেফএক্সপ’, ২২ৰ উদ্বোধনৰ সময়ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-expresses-happiness-as-jammu-and-kashmir-records-progressive-development-in-tourism-sector/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed happiness after the Jammu and Kashmir records progressive development in Tourism sector.

Impact Once the Ordinance is issued, it would pave the way would pave the way for bringing persons residing in the areas adjoining International Border within the ambit of Reservation at par with persons living in areas adjoining Actual Line of Control. Background 10% reservation for economically weaker sections made applicable in J&K also. This would pave the way for reserving State Government jobs to the youth of J&K who are from economically weaker sections belonging to any religion or caste. It may be recalled that 10% reservation to economically weaker sections was introduced in rest of the country through the 103rd Constitution Amendment in January 2019. This will be in addition to such reservation available in Govt. of India jobs also. Benefit of promotion to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, which include Gujjars and Bakarwals amongst others, has also been made applicable to the State of J&K. After a long wait of 24 years, the 77thConstitution Amendment of 1995 has now been applied to the State of J&K. People living near the International Border have been brought at par with those living near the Line of Control for reservation in State Government jobs by amending the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004 through an Ordinance. Earlier, the provision of 3% reservation was available only for youth living within 6 kms. Of LoC in J&K. Now, this provision will be applicable for people living near the international border also. This has been a long-pending demand of the population living near the international border, as they have been facing the brunt of cross border firing in J&K. The Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004 and Rules there under namely The Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Rules, 2005 provide for vertical reservation in direct recruitment, promotions and admission in different professional courses to various categories viz. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (Residents of Backward Area (RBA), Residents of Areas adjoining Actual Line of Control (ALoC) and Weak and Under Privileged Classes (Social Castes) alongwith horizontal reservation to the Ex-Serviceman and Physically Challenged Persons. However, the reservation benefits are not extended to the persons residing in the areas adjoining International Border. Due to continuous cross border tensions, persons living alongside International Border suffer from socio-economic and educational backwardness. Shelling from across the border often compels these residents to move to safer places and is adversely impacting their education as Educational Institutions remain closed for long periods. Hence, it was felt justifiable to extend the reservation benefits to persons residing in the areas adjoining International Border on the similar lines of the persons living in areas adjoining Actual Line of Control (ALoC).",জম্মু-কাশ্মীৰ সংৰক্ষণ (সংশোধনী) অধ্যাদেশ ২০১৯ লৈ কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-expresses-grief-over-boat-accident-in-assam/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%93-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%98%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed grief over the boat accident in Assam.

These include: i. Relaxation of land ceiling limit for oil palm cultivation under NMOOP (National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm). The Cabinet approved relaxation in restrictions for providing assistance to more than 25 hectare area also under NMOOP to attract corporate bodies towards oil palm and derive maximum benefit of 100% FDI. ii. ii. Revision of norms of assistance under Mini Mission-II of NMOOP. The Cabinet further gave its approval to revise the norms of assistance mainly for planting materials, maintenance cost, inter-cropping cost and bore-well to make oil palm plantations attractive. The measures will yield following results: · To encourage oil palm plantation on large scale by corporate bodies and to utilize wastelands. By relaxing restrictions under NMOOP, private entrepreneurs/cooperative bodies/joint ventures will show their interest in investment in oil palm plantation and availing the NMOOP support. · To encourage farmers for oil palm cultivation in a bigger way. The revision of cost norms will motivate fanners for oil palm plantation. Annual Action Plan (AAP) of the State / Agencies will be approved by Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare on revised cost norms. The private entrepreneurs/ cooperative bodies/ joint ventures will be invited by the respective state Governments for oil palm plantation in their state. At present, the programme is being implemented in 12 States, namely, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu. Mizoram, Odisha, Kerala, Telangana. Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland & Assam. Nearly 133 districts are under oil palm cultivation in these 12 states, However, all the potential states of Oil palm are covered under NMOOP. There will be some financial implication in relaxing restrictions of area and up-scaling the norms of subsidies but the same would be accommodated within NMOOP fund. Therefore, no additional funds would be required. The year-wise physical & financial progress for the 12th five year plan is given below: Year Name of Scheme Oil Palm Area Expansion (ha) Amount (Rs. in lakhs) Target Target Achievement _Allocation Release 2012-13 ISOPOM & OPAE 49932 26300 22705.74 6412.62 2013-14 ISOPOM & OPAE 41347 23183 19776.19 11849.09 2014-15 NMOOP 28146 17143 7290.58 4112.47 2015-16 NMOOP 27337 14425 6683.80 3823.49 2016-17* NMOOP 30061 9968 8038.68 4241.57 *upto December, 2016 At present, oil palm development programme is being promoted in individual farmer’s field. There is no scope to provide assistance directly to private entrepreneurs/Cooperative bodies/Joint ventures for large scale plantation. The waste land/degraded land/cultivable land in the oil palm growing states can be given on lease/rent or bought by private entrepreneurs/ cooperative bodies/ joint ventures for oil palm plantation. However, financial assistance under NMOOP is available for 25 hectare. Therefore, there is a need for relaxation of restrictions under NMOOP to attract corporate bodies towards oil palm and derive maximum benefit of 100% FDI. A combination of individual farming, contract farming and captive plantation (by relaxing land ceiling norms) can only boost oil palm cultivation in the country. The norms of assistance for various interventions were decided on the basis of prevailing prices at the time of formulation of the NMOOP programme. In view of large investment towards the cost of planting material, digging of pits, planting, manuring, irrigation and maintenance of plantation for four years without any income, farmers particularly small and marginal have shown reluctance in taking up oil palm plantation. Besides, in North Eastern States, which have good potential for oil palm needs additional investment in land preparation being hilly terrain. Background: Edible Oil is an important component of household food basket. The total production of edible oil in the country is about 9 million MT. while the domestic requirement is around 25 million MT. The gap between demand and supply is being met through imports, which amounted to Rs. 68,000 crores in 2015-16 (Prov.). Palm oil contributes 70% of vegetable oil import and is one of the cheapest oil due to high productivity per hectare. Oil Palm is one of the world’s most efficient crop in terms of yield of vegetable oil per ha and today it is largest source of vegetable oil in the world. Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Thailand and Columbia are the major oil palm producing countries. An average oil yield of 4-5 tonnes/ hectare has been recorded with oil palm against the highest oil yield of 1.3 tonnes/ hectare from rapeseed. Government of India is promoting oil palm by implementing several programmes since 1986-87 and from 2014-15 through NMOOP. NMOOP aims to bring an additional area of 1.25 lakh hectare under oil palm cultivation by the end of 2016-17. The developmental efforts have resulted in area expansion under oil palm from 8585 hectare in-1991-92 to around 3 lakh hectare by the end of 2015-16. Similarly, production of fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) and crude palm oil (CPO) have increased from 21,233 ton and 1,134 ton respectively (1992-93) to 11,50,000 ton and 1,98,000 ton during the year 2014-15.",ভাৰতৰ পাম তেল ক্ষেত্ৰ আৰু উৎপাদন বৃদ্ধিৰ পদক্ষেপত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/todays-decision-on-ujjwala-subsidy-will-greatly-ease-family-budgets-pm/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D/,"Significant drop in petrol and diesel prices will positively impact various sectors, provide relief to our citizens: PM The Prime Minister has said that today’s decisions on Ujjwala subsidy and drop in petrol and diesel prices will positively impact various sectors, provide relief to our citizens and further ‘Ease of Living.’ Quoting the Finance Minister’s tweets regarding the decisions, the Prime Minister tweeted : “It is always people first for us!

Details: The MoU provides that – 1. Turkish Grain Board (TMO) shall maintain an online system to enable regulation of export of poppy seeds from Turkey to India. Exporting companies shall submit application through the Agean Exporters Association (EIB) (responsibility given by law) to TMO for obtaining membership of the online System. 2. Each year, the quantity of poppy seeds which shall be imported by India from Turkey shall be decided by Government of India in consultation with Government of Turkey taking into account the production of poppy seeds in Turkey in a crop year, balance from previous crop years and domestic or other export requirement of Republic of Turkey. 3. The exporting companies shall get registered with the TMO. Each sales contract entered into by the exporting company with Indian importer shall be registered with TMO through the online system referred. It shall be the responsibility of TMO not to register sales contract in excess of the quantity referred to in Para 2 above. 4. Taking into account the quantity as referred to in Para 2 above, every year both parties may consider to set a quantity to be imported by any Indian importer in a crop year. 5. The Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN) will register the sales contract registered by TMO as per details accessed on the online system maintained by TMO in accordance with guidelines for registration laid down by Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The CBN shall upload the details of sales contract so registered by it on the online system. TMO shall allow the export in respect of only those contracts so registered by CBN. 6. The TMO shall provide a legal production certificate for the poppy seeds to exporters following the submission of sales contract and the completion of other necessary procedures. The MoU will promote quick and transparent processing of quota allocation and prior authorization for poppy seeds import from Turkey. In this way genuiness of import contract can be easily ensured as well as many litigation matter resulting in delay in the import can be avoided. The MoU will ensure continuous availability of poppy seeds in domestic market of India and ultimately Indian consumers of poppy seeds will be benefited. Background: Import of poppy seeds from Turkey got withheld due to litigation resulting in great hike of price of poppy seeds in domestic market of India and hoarding of the same by some importers. Various stays given by the Court and repeated adjournment of hearing graves the situation and resulted in less availability of poppy seeds in the country leading to a great problems to the consumers. To avoid such legal complication, price rise and hoarding, an alternative mechanism needs to be evolved by way of an MoU between Government of India and Government of Turkey in which real time data can be exchanged to ensure the quantity of poppy seeds imported from Turkey is genuine and legally produced in Turkey.",দ্রুত আৰু স্বচ্ছ পদ্ধতিৰে তুৰ্কীৰ পৰা আফুগুটি ব্যৱসায়ৰ সন্দৰ্ভত ভাৰত আৰু তুৰ্কীৰ মাজত বুজাবুজি চুক্তি স্বাক্ষৰত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-launches-swachh-bharat-mission-urban-2-0-and-amrut-2-0/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%95-13/,"“Goal of ‘Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0’ is to make the cities completely free of garbage” “Country’s target in the next phase of Mission AMRUT is ‘Improving sewage and septic management, making our cities water-safe cities and ensuring that no sewage drains anywhere in our rivers” “In the journey of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and AMRUT Mission, there is a mission, there is respect, there is dignity, there is the ambition of a country and there is also unmatched love for the motherland”. “Babasaheb Ambedekar believed in urban development as a great means of removing inequality……The next phase of Swachh Bharat Mission and Mission Amrit is an important step towards fulfilling the dreams of Babasaheb” “Cleanliness is a great campaign for everyone, every day, every fortnight, every year, generation after generation.

Noting that today’s event was taking place in the Ambedkar International Centre, the Prime Minister remarked that Babasaheb believed in urban development as a great means of removing inequality. Many people from villages come to cities with an aspiration for a better life. He said, they get employment but their standard of living remains in a difficult situation even compared to their lives in the villages. This is like double jeopardy of staying away from home, and after that to stay in such a difficult situation. He said Babasaheb’s emphasis was on changing this situation by removing this inequality. The next phase of Swachh Bharat Mission and Mission Amrit is an important step towards fulfilling the dreams of Babasaheb, said the Prime Minister.

He remarked, ‘when the country started the campaign in 2014, less than 20 per cent of the waste generated every day in the country was processed. Today we are processing about 70 per cent of daily waste. Now we have to take it to 100%’. The Prime Minister also talked about enhanced allocations for the Urban Development Ministry.

The mandate exercised and approach adopted at the Conference was aimed at protecting India’s interests, priorities and concerns during the Ministerial Conference. Background In the run-up to the Conference, decisions were expected on a permanent solution on the issue of public stockholding for food security purposes as per the Bali/Nairobi mandate and other agriculture issues. Some WTO member countries were seeking outcomes on domestic regulations in services, disciplines on fisheries subsidies, E-commerce, Investment Facilitation and Micro, Medium and Small Enterprises (MSMEs). However, ultimately, there was no outcome on public stockholding for food security purposes or on other agriculture issues due to an absence of consensus. The Bali Ministerial Decision together with the General Council Decision of November 2014, which was reaffirmed at the Tenth Ministerial Conference of the WTO in December 2015 protects India through availability of an interim mechanism on public stockholding for food security purposes, till a permanent solution is agreed and adopted by the WTO. Thus, India’s foodgrain procurement programmes at Minimum Support Prices remain protected. Ministerial decisions taken during the Conference include a Work Programme on disciplines on Fisheries Subsidies with a view to arriving at a decision by the Twelfth Ministerial Conference of the WTO, in 2019. It was also decided to continue with the non-negotiating mandate of the existing Work Programme on E-Commerce, as proposed by India. As was done in previous Ministerial Conferences, an existing moratorium on imposing customs duties on electronic transmission was expanded for two years. Another moratorium on TRIPS non-violation companies was maintained, which prevents ‘ever-greening’ of patents in the pharmaceuticals sector, thereby ensuring accessibility and affordability of generic medicines. Ministerial decisions on new issues like Investment Facilitation, MSMEs, gender and trade, which lacked a mandate or consensus, were not taken forward. As there were wide differences among members, with a few members not supporting acknowledgment and reiteration of key underlying principles guiding the WTO and varied agreed mandates, Ministers could not arrive at an agreed Ministerial Declaration. India did not support the draft Ministerial Declaration as it excluded or failed to adequately cover important issues such as multilateralism, the Doha Development Agenda and special and differential treatment of developing countries. However, wide support was expressed for the multilateral trading system and the commitment to move forward on various areas of work in the WTO. It is also noteworthy that even in the absence of a Ministerial Declaration, the existing mandates and decisions ensure that work will go forward and Members will continue to work on issues such as the permanent solution on public stockholding for food security purposes, an agricultural Special Safeguard Mechanism, agricultural subsidies and other issues.","আর্জেণ্টিনাৰ বুয়েনছ এয়াৰছত ১০-১৩ ডিচেম্বৰ, ২০১৭ত অনুষ্ঠিত বিশ্ব বাণিজ্য সংস্থাৰ একাদশ মন্ত্রী পর্যায়ৰ সন্মিলনত গৃহীত ভাৰতৰ দৃষ্টিভংগীক কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন সমর্থন কেন্দ্রীয় মন্ত্রিসভাৰ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-shares-citizens-response-to-the-beauty-and-hospitality-of-jammu-and-kashmir/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%95/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has shared citizen’s response to the beauty and hospitality of Jammu and Kashmir highlighting the beauty of Baisaran, Aru, Kokernag, Achhbal, Gulmarg, Srinagar and Dal Lake.

The policy complements the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. While PM GatiShakti National Master Plan is aimed at integrated infrastructure development, the National Logistics Policy is envisaged to bring efficiency in logistics services, and human resources through streamlining processes, regulatory framework, skill development, mainstreaming logistics in higher education and adoption of suitable technologies. The vision is to develop a technologically enabled, integrated, cost-efficient, resilient, sustainable and trusted logistics ecosystem for accelerated and inclusive growth. The Policy sets targets and includes a detailed action plan to achieve them. The targets are: • to reduce cost of logistics in India to be comparable to global benchmarks by 2030, • improve the Logistics Performance Index ranking, to be among top 25 countries by 2030, and • create data driven decision support mechanism for an efficient logistics ecosystem. The National Logistics Policy has been developed through a consultative process wherein several rounds of consultations were held with various Ministries/Departments of Government of India, industry stakeholders and academia, and takes cognisance of global best practises. To monitor the implementation of the Policy and integrate efforts across stakeholders, the Policy will utilize the existing institutional framework i.e., Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGoS) created under the PM GatiShakti NMP. The EGoS will also set up a “Services Improvement Group” (SIG) on the pattern of Network Planning Group (NPG) for monitoring of parameters pertaining to processes, regulatory and digital improvements in logistics sector that are not covered under the ToR of the NPG. This policy paves way for reduction in logistics cost in the country. Focus will be on enabling adequate development of warehouses with optimal spatial planning, promotion of standards, digitization and automation across the logistics value chain and better track and trace mechanisms. Further measures to facilitate seamless coordination between different stakeholders and speedy issue resolution, streamlined EXIM processes, human resource development to create an employable pool of skilled manpower, are also laid out in the policy. The policy also clearly lays down an action agenda for immediate on ground implementation of various initiatives. In fact, to ensure that the benefits of this policy have maximum possible outreach, important initiatives under the policy including the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP), the Ease of Logistics Services platform, e-handbook on Warehousing, training courses on PM GatiShakti and logistics on i-Got platform, were launched along with the launch of the National Logistics Policy. Thereby indicating the readiness for immediate on ground implementation. Also, all States and UTs have been fully onboarded. Fourteen States have already developed their respective State Logistics Policies on the lines of the National Logistics Policy and for 13 States, it is in draft stage. The institutional frameworks under PM GatiShakti at Centre and State level, which will also monitor implementation of the Policy, is fully operational. This will ensure a fast and effective adoption of the Policy across all stakeholders. This policy supports enhancing competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and other sectors such as agriculture and allied sectors, fast moving consumer goods and electronics. With greater predictability, transparency and reliability, wastages in supply chain and need for huge inventory will reduce. Greater integration of global value chains and higher share in global trade besides facilitating accelerated economic growth in the country, is another outcome envisaged. This is expected to reduce logistics cost to achieve global benchmarks and improve country’s Logistics Performance Index ranking and its global positioning. This policy lays down a clear direction for transforming India’s logistics sector, improving logistics efficiency, reducing logistics cost and improving global performance.","লজিষ্টিক সেৱাত অধিক দক্ষতাৰ বাবে ইউনিফাইড লজিষ্টিক ইণ্টাৰফেচ প্লেটফৰ্ম, মানককৰণ, নিৰীক্ষণ ফ্ৰেমৱৰ্ক আৰু দক্ষতা বিকাশৰ বাবে নীতি প্ৰণয়" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-meets-intel-ceo-pat-gelsinger/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has met with Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger and had discussions on subjects relating to tech, research and innovation.

The claim of RCF for TDR/compensation against encumbered land admeasuring 40584.74 sq. mtrs.is being decided by the Arbitrator. RCF was demanding from MCGM to delete the internal roads of RCF colony from their Development Plan of Mumbai for a long time. Subsequently, RCF agreed to hand over about 16000 sq. meters of land (subject to actualmeasurement at site) for construction of 18.3 meter DP road in lieu of TDR as compensation subject to mutually agreed terms & conditions. MCGM in the development plan has shown reservation of 331.96 sq. meters of RCF land in front of the proposed township of RCF for public road widening.

The logo and theme, unveiled by the Prime Minister in virtual mode, are as below: Logo and Theme Explanation The G20 Logo draws inspiration from the vibrant colours of India’s national flag – saffron, white and green, and blue. It juxtaposes planet Earth with the lotus, India’s national flower that reflects growth amid challenges. The Earth reflects India’s pro-planet approach to life, one in perfect harmony with nature. Below the G20 logo is “Bharat”, written in the Devanagari script. The logo draws upon elements contained in various entries received during an open competition for the logo design. The contest organized on MyGov portal received an enthusiastic response with over 2000 submissions. This is in line with Prime Minister’s vision of Jan Bhagidari during India’s G20 Presidency. The theme of India’s G20 Presidency – “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth One Family One Future” – is drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha Upanishad. Essentially, the theme affirms the value of all life – human, animal, plant, and microorganisms – and their interconnectedness on the planet Earth and in the wider universe. The theme also spotlights LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), with its associated, environmentally sustainable and responsible choices, both at the level of individual lifestyles as well as national development, leading to globally transformative actions resulting in a cleaner, greener and bluer future. The logo and the theme together convey a powerful message of India’s G20 Presidency, which is of striving for just and equitable growth for all in the world, as we navigate through these turbulent times, in a sustainable, holistic, responsible, and inclusive manner. They represent a uniquely Indian approach to our G20 Presidency, of living in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem. For India, the G20 Presidency also marks the beginning of “Amritkaal”, the 25-year period beginning from the 75th anniversary of its independence on 15 August 2022, leading up to the centenary of its independence, towards a futuristic, prosperous, inclusive and developed society, distinguished by a human-centric approach at its core. G20 Website The website of India’s G20 Presidency www.g20.in was also launched by the Prime Minister. The website will seamlessly migrate to the G20 Presidency website www.g20.org on 1 December 2022, the day India takes over the G20 Presidency. In addition to substantive information about G20 and logistics arrangements, the website would also be used to build and serve as a repository of information on G20. The website includes a section for citizens to submit their suggestions. G20 App In addition to the website, a mobile app “G20 India” has been released on both Android and iOS platforms.","ভাৰতৰ জি-২০ প্ৰেচিডেন্সিৰ ল’গ’, থিম আৰু ৱেবছাইট উন্মোচন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-shares-a-picture-of-mahatma-gandhi-on-world-bicycle-day/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D/,"Referring to the concept of Lifestyle for Environment (LIFE), The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has shared a picture of Mahatma Gandhi riding a bicycle.

Kashi is known for ‘Saat var, Nau Tyohar’ i.e. nine festivals in seven days of a week. That means, new festivals are celebrated here every day. Greetings to all of you gathered here on this occasion today! Governor of Uttar Pradesh Anandiben Patel ji, Hon’ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji, Ministers of UP Government, MPs, all MLAs, and my brothers and sisters of Benares! I first want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. During the Assembly elections, I had come to you and had asked for your help in forming the government again in Uttar Pradesh. I am overwhelmed with the highly enthusiastic support you, the people of Uttar Pradesh and the people of Kashi have given me. So, I have come here to you today for the first time after the elections. I wish to thank the people of Kashi, the people of Uttar Pradesh from the bottom of my heart and congratulate them. Today, we are once again giving impetus to the festival of development that has been going on for the last eight years in the divine, magnificent and brand new Kashi. Kashi has always been vibrant and constantly thriving. Now Kashi has painted a picture of both heritage and development before the whole country; a heritage that is constantly being made grand, divine and innovative; development that is constantly spreading to the streets, ponds, ghats and paths of Kashi, as well as to the railway station and airport. As soon as one project ends in Kashi, four new projects start. Even today, dozens of projects worth over Rs 1,700 crore have been inaugurated and foundation stones have been laid here. Projects worth thousands of crores for roads, water, electricity, health, education, sanitation and beautification have been completed in Kashi. So, the work on projects worth thousands of crores of rupees is constantly going on. Brothers and sisters, The soul of Kashi is indestructible, but we are constantly trying to reform its structure. Our objective of development is to make Kashi more dynamic, progressive and sensitive. The modern infrastructure of Kashi is enhancing its dynamism. Development happens at a fast pace when education, skills, environment, sanitation and trade are encouraged; new institutions are built and the divinity of sacred places associated with spirituality is combined with modern grandeur. At the same time when the poor gets access to facilities like houses, electricity, water, gas, toilets and everyone like sailors, weavers, artisans, street vendors and the homeless reap the benefits, that is when development is considered as inclusive. The launches and the foundation stone laying ceremonies that took place during the programme today reflect dynamism, progressiveness, and sensitivity. My Kashi is the best example of ‘Sabka Saath, sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’. Brothers and sisters, You have also given me the opportunity to serve by making me your MP. So when you do something good, it doubles my happiness. I am really glad to see the way the conscious citizens of Kashi have given a direction to the country. The citizens of Kashi have sent a message to the entire country that short-cuts cannot benefit the country. It might benefit some leaders but not the country or the people. I still remember after coming to Kashi in 2014, people would come and ask questions like – “There is so much mess here, how would it all be fixed?” That’s what people would ask, right? Their concerns were justified. There was room for improvement and change everywhere in Varanasi. It seemed pretty clear that nothing had been done for decades to improve the situation in Varanasi. In such a scenario, it was very easy for someone else to take short-cuts like giving away some doles to the people but he couldn’t think of anything beyond that. Who would work so hard? But I want to praise the people of Benares for showing the right path and choosing the right path. They have unequivocally demanded the kind of work that should not only fix the present but also benefit Varanasi for several decades in the future. My dear brothers and sisters of Kashi, Is the work being done going to be useful for the future or not? Is it going to be useful to future generations or not? Is it going to brighten the future of the youth here? Will it draw the whole of India towards Kashi or not? Will the whole of India come and visit Kashi or not? Friends, Today we can see that when there is a long-term planning, we get discernible results. In the past eight years, where has the infrastructure of Kashi reached? This is benefitting farmers, labourers and traders. Trade is growing, turnover is increasing and tourism is expanding. The rickshaw puller says, “Sir, I am getting sufficient work all day long”. The trader says, “Sir, in just one month goods worth six months are being sold”. Is this true or not? Has the pace accelerated or not? And as these roads are being constructed, the houses are being built for the poor, the pipelines are being laid, and the businesses of the small shopkeepers as well as of the construction related industries like cement and steel are also growing. In other words, it is also becoming a huge source of employment in Varanasi and the entire region. The far-sightedness of the people of Varanasi is now benefitting the entire region. Today, if you look around Kashi, then Ring Road, Broad National Highway, Babatpur City Link Road, Ashapur ROB, Chaukaghat-Lahartara Flyover and Mahmoorganj-Manduadih Flyover are making the lives of the people of Varanasi so easy. When the Rail Over Bridge over Varuna is completed, this facility is going to improve further. Today the work of widening 3 more roads of Kashi has started. With this, it will be easy to travel from many districts like Mau, Azamgarh, Ghazipur, Ballia, Bhadohi, Mirzapur and the problem of traffic jam in Kashi will also be minimized. Brothers & Sisters, In order to connect these broad roads of the cities with the surrounding villages, the foundation stone of 9 roads has also been laid today. These roads will remove the difficulties faced by the farmers and youth of nearby villages in coming to the city during the rainy season. The work that Yogi ji’s government is doing on widening of roads to connect the tehsil and block headquarters with the district headquarters, is also commendable. Today, work has also started on the widening of the road connecting Sewapuri to Varanasi. When this is completed, all the tehsils and block headquarters of Varanasi district will be connected by 7 meter wide roads. Brothers & Sisters, Now Monsoon is very close. Baba’s devotees from all over the country and the world are going to come to Kashi in large numbers. This will be the first Sawan festival after the completion of Vishwanath Dham project. You have experienced the kind of enthusiasm the whole world holds about the Vishwanath Dham in the past few months. Yogi ji was telling me that despite the hot weather, lakhs of devotees are coming to Kashi Vishwanath Dham every day now. Even during this period, devotees of Baba will get the experience of a divine, grand and a new Kashi here. Brothers & Sisters, It is our commitment to provide uninterrupted experience of devotion and spirituality in Kashi to the devotees and tourists from all over the world. Earlier, when a pilgrim used to visit our place, people in the villages used to invite him to their houses and feed him. They used to serve the pilgrim in every possible way. A similar tradition was there in Kashi too. The idea was to not let the devotee face any kind of inconvenience. Our government is also working with this same spirit. The government is creating facilities for every pilgrimage like Kashi Bhairav Yatra, Nav-Gauri Yatra, Navdurga Yatra, Ashtavinayak Yatra to provide the devotees with a smooth experience. On the way to Panchkosi Parikrama, arrangements are being made for a pilgrim’s rest and ease of worship at several places. Be it the identity of Kashi, or making its streets and ghats clean or the resolution to make river Ganga clean, work is going on at a fast pace. Brothers & Sisters, For us, development doesn’t mean pomp and show. For us, development means empowerment of the poor, downtrodden, deprived, backward, tribal, mothers and sisters. Today more than 600 poor families of Varanasi have got their pucca house under PM Awas Yojana. That is, we have 600 new lakhpatis. Heartiest congratulations to those whose dream of a home has been fulfilled today! And congratulations to the mothers and sisters of those families in particular because we are trying to ensure that the house constructed should be in the name of mothers and sisters of the household. We are working fast on these resolutions to provide a pucca house to every poor family and to connect every rural family with piped water supply. Work has started on dozens of water projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission. Thousands of families, especially sisters, will be greatly benefited by this. The spirit of ‘development for all’ will be strengthened by the shelter home for destitute mothers, sisters and daughters. Brothers & Sisters, Such inclusive development and all round development is nothing but good governance. You see, a lot of difficulties were faced by the small businesses and the street vendors. Now the Gaurav Path has also been built between Godowlia to Dashashwamedh. Now a Dashashwamedh complex is also going to be built there. This complex will provide facilities to the street vendors for selling their products. A special vending-zone of about 2 km length is being developed below the Chaukaghat-Lahartara flyover. In Sarnath, the work of setting up a Buddhist circuit has started from today. There will also be development of special facilities for street vendors. Friends, You must have heard a lot about systems like SEZ and economic corridors, but now you are seeing special zones created for street vendors in Kashi. Moreover, for the first time, street vendors have started getting bank loans under PM Svanidhi Yojana. So far, about 33 lakh companions have got easy loans under this scheme across the country, out of which thousands of friends are from Kashi. Friends, Our government has always tried to solve the problems of the poor and has tried to support them at all times. From providing free corona vaccines to the provision of free ration to the poor, the government has left no opportunity to serve you. The poor and the middle class have benefitted immensely with the way the digital infrastructure has been improved over the years. Today the people of Varanasi are witness to the way mobile phones have become cheaper and making calls has become almost free. Now the internet has become very cheap, life is getting easier and new means of earning have opened up. The number of phone and internet users is increasing day by day in the country. As a result, the businesses related to it are also expanding. Employment opportunities have been created for the youth in the services related to it at a very low investment. Similarly, the free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh has made the poor stress-free. With this, even those poor people who used to avoid getting treatment earlier due to lack of money, have now managed to muster the courage to go to the hospitals. That is, the demand for hospitals is increasing; the demand for medical colleges is increasing. In the last few years, we have set up dozens of new medical colleges in UP itself. Here in Kashi itself, a huge network of modern treatment has been formed for cancer and all other diseases. Friends, On one hand we are expanding the facilities for CNG-run vehicles to make the cities of the country smoke-free. On the other hand, we are also giving the option to the sailors who are concerned about Gangaji for converting the diesel and petrol boats into CNG. The country’s first CNG station located at a ghat is in Kashi and Kashi feels proud of it. Of the 650 diesel-petrol boats, 500 have been connected with the facility of CNG. With this facility, tourists will get the pleasure of seeing Ganga ji in peace and the environment will also be benefitted. At the same time, the expenditure of the sailors on fuel will also come down significantly. That is, the avenues of earning more in less expenditure will open up. Brothers & Sisters, Kashi has not only been a city of knowledge, devotion and spirituality, but it also has a rich tradition of sports. And today I was able to meet all the players throughout my journey from the airport till here. All the players are sitting there in front of me. There is a whole bunch of players on this side too. Today I can see their enthusiasm. I believe that this stadium which is being built in Kashi is now going to take Kashi to new heights. The arenas here are promoting fitness through exercise and wrestling. Even today, on the day of Nag Panchami, we can see glimpses from the past in these arenas. But sports is not only a means of fitness and entertainment, but also a great medium to increase the pride of the nation and to have a better career. Over the years, many players from Purvanchal, including Varanasi, have performed well at the international level. It is the constant effort of the government to ensure that modern facilities for every sport related to Olympics are ready and available in Kashi. The stadium at which we are holding this public meeting today is going to be equipped with world class facilities very soon. The facilities of the 21st century will be added to this stadium built 6 decades ago. It will have ultra modern indoor facilities for more than 20 games. Arrangements like best training setup, fitness center and hostel will also be found here. There will also be a ‘kids’ zone’ for the children, so that they get excited about sports and fitness, and can develop their inclination towards professional sports at an early age. The entire complex will also support Para Games besides having modern facilities. The modern facilities for athletics and basketball at Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Sports Complex will also be of great help to the young players. Brothers & Sisters, We all have to make efforts for this stream of continuous development of Kashi to flow like Gangaji. Yes, the pledge we have taken for the cleanliness of Kashi and Ganga ji should never be forgotten. Will you keep it in mind? Just raise both your hands and say – will you keep it in mind? Will our Kashi remain clean? Will our Kashi be clean? Will our mother Ganga remain clean or not? No one will pollute it, right? No one will let it get polluted, right? This is our Kashi; we have to save Kashi; we need to build Kashi, and we all will do it together. It is the responsibility of all of us, the residents of Kashi, to keep the roads, ghats and markets clean.

The Prime Minister spoke at length about how Governors could leverage their experience in different walks of life, so that people derive maximum benefit of various central development schemes and initiatives. He said the institution of Governor has a pivotal role to play within the federal structure and Constitutional framework of our country. He said Governors of States with significant tribal population can help in ensuring that the tribal communities benefit from Government initiatives in fields such as education, sports and financial inclusion. He said the tribal communities had played a key role in the freedom struggle, and this should be recognised and recorded for posterity through avenues such as digital museums. The Prime Minister noted that Governors are also Chancellors of Universities. He said that International Yoga Day on June 21st can be utilized as an opportunity to generate greater awareness about Yoga among the youth. Similarly, he emphasized that Universities can also become the focal point of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The Prime Minister mentioned some key themes of development such as the National Nutrition Mission, electrification of villages and development parameters in aspirational districts. He suggested that Governors could also visit a few recently electrified villages to witness first-hand the benefits of electrification. He said that during the recent Gram Swaraj Abhiyan from 14th April, seven key schemes of the Government were implemented fully in over 16000 villages. He said that these villages have been freed from seven problems through Jan Bhagidaari. He said Gram Swaraj Abhiyan is now being extended to 65000 more villages, with a target date of 15th August. The Prime Minister suggested that planning for the 50th Governors’ Conference next year should begin immediately. This effort should focus on making this annual event even more productive.",৪৯ সংখ্যক ৰাজ্যপাল সন্মিলনৰ উদ্বোধন পৰ্বত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-lays-foundation-stone-and-dedicates-to-the-nation-various-healthcare-facilities-around-rs-1275-crore-in-civil-hospital-asarwa-ahmedabad/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF/,"“If the heart and intention of the government is not filled with concern for the people’s problems, then the creation of suitable health infrastructure is not possible” “In Gujarat, the work and achievements are so much that it becomes difficult to even count them at times” “Today Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas Government is working tirelessly for Gujarat” “When the government is sensitive, then it is the society that reaps the biggest benefit including the weaker sections and the mothers and sisters of the society” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stones and dedicated to the nation, various healthcare facilities around Rs. 1275 crore in Civil Hospital Asarwa, Ahmedabad. After arriving at the venue, the Prime Minister took a walkthrough of the Health Infrastructure Projects. This was followed by the Prime Minister’s arrival on the dais where he was felicitated. The Prime Minister unveiled the plaque and dedicated to the nation: (i) Institute of Kidney Diseases Research Centre (IKDRC) in Manjushree Mill Campus (ii) Hospital Building 1C of Gujarat Cancer Research Institute at Civil Hospital Campus, Asarva (iii) Hostel at UN Mehta Hospital (iv) Expansion of Gujarat Dialysis Programme with One State One Dialysis (v) Chemo Programme for Gujarat State.

The Prime Minister interacted with patients in CHCs in Morva Hadaf, GMLRS Junagadh and CHC Waghai. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that it is a huge day for health in Gujarat and congratulated everyone associated with these projects for completing them on time. Shri Modi remarked that the most advanced medical technology of the world, improved benefits and medical infrastructure will be made available to the public of Gujarat thereby benefiting the society. With the availability of these medical benefits, the Prime Minister informed that those who cannot afford private hospitals can now head to these government-run hospitals where medical teams will be deployed to serve with urgency. The Prime Minister recalled that approximately three and a half years ago, he got the opportunity to inaugurate a maternal and child health super speciality hospital with a 1200 bed facility. The Prime Minister noted that the capacity and services of the Institute of Kidney Diseases and U N Mehta Institute of Cardiology are also being expanded. Facilities like upgraded bone marrow transplants are also starting with the new building of Gujarat Cancer Research Institute. “This will be the first government hospital in the country where state-of-the-art technology like Cyber-Knife will be available”, he said. The Prime Minister said that Gujarat is rapidly scaling new heights of development. He pointed out, then the pace of development is like that of Gujarat, the work and achievements are so much that it becomes difficult to even count them at times. Dwelling upon the ills of the system in Gujarat 20-25 years ago the Prime Minister listed the diseases of backwardness of the health sector, mismanaged education, scarcity of electricity, misadministration and law and order issues. At the top of this was the biggest ill, that is, vote bank politics. He said today Gujarat is moving ahead, leaving behind all those diseases. Today, when it comes to hi-tech hospitals, Gujarat stands at the top. When it comes to educational institutions, Gujarat has no match today. Gujarat is moving ahead and scaling new trajectories of growth, he added. Similarly, water, electricity and law and order situation in Gujarat has improved tremendously. Shri Modi said, “Today Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas Government is working tirelessly for Gujarat.” The Prime Minister said that Health Infrastructure Projects that were unveiled today have given a new identity to Gujarat and these projects are the symbols of the capabilities of the people of Gujarat. He also noted that along with good health facilities, the people of Gujarat will also feel a sense of pride that the world’s top medical facilities are now witnessing continuous growth in our own state. This will also contribute to the medical tourism potential of Gujarat. The Prime Minister stressed that intention and policies both need to align for good health infrastructure. “If the heart and intention of the government are not filled with concern for the people’s problems, then the creation of suitable health infrastructure is not possible”, he said. The Prime Minister pointed out that when efforts are made wholeheartedly with a holistic approach, their results are equally multifaceted. “This is the success mantra of Gujarat”, he said. Taking the analogy of medical science further, the Prime Minister said that he, as Chief Minister, applied ‘surgery’ i.e. weeding out old irrelevant systems with intention and force. Second ‘medicine’ i.e. ever-new innovation for strengthening the system, third ‘Care’ i.e.working with sensitivity for the development of the health system. He informed Gujarat was the first state who took care of animals also. He said given the nature of diseases and pandemics, One Earth One Health Mission needs to be strengthened. The Prime Minister pointed out that the government acted with care. “We went among the people, shared their plight”, he added. Reflecting on the efforts that were made by connecting people together through public participation, the Prime Minister said that when the system became healthy, the health sector of Gujarat also became healthy and Gujarat was being used as an example in the country. The Prime Minister reiterated that he applied the learnings from Gujarat to the Central Government. He informed that in the last 8 years, the Central Government has presented 22 new AIIMS in different parts of the country and Gujarat has also benefited from this. “Gujarat got its first AIIMS in Rajkot”, Shri Modi added. Reflecting on the work done in the health sector in Gujarat, the Prime Minister pointed out the day will not be far when Gujarat will excel in medical research, biotech research, and pharma research and make a name for itself on the global level. The Prime Minister noted that when the government is sensitive, then it is the society that reaps the biggest benefit including the weaker sections, as well as mothers and sisters. Recalling the time when infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate were of grave concern to the state and the previous governments had blamed destiny for such unfortunate incidents, the Prime Minister interjected that it was our government that took a stand for our mothers and children. “In the last twenty years”, Shri Modi added, “we drafted the required policies and put them into application that resulted in a drastic decline of the mortality rates.” Throwing light on ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Abhiyan’, the Prime Minister remarked that the number of girls being born has now surpassed the number of newborn boys. The Prime Minister attributed such successes to the policies of the Gujarat government such as ‘Chiranjeevi’ and ‘Khilkhilaahat’. Shri Modi further added that Gujarat’s success and efforts are showing the way to central government missions like ‘Indradhanush’ and ‘Matru Vandana’. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister pointed out schemes like Ayushman Bharat for the treatment of the poor and needy. Elaborating on the strength of the double-engine government, the Prime Minister said that the combination of Ayushman Bharat and Mukya Mantri AmritamYojna is serving the health needs of the poor in the state of Gujarat. “Health and Education are the only two sectors that decide the direction of the future, not just the present.” Giving the example of a civil hospital with 1200 bed facility in 2019, the Prime Minister said that the same hospital emerged as the largest health centre and served the people during the Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world a year later. “That single health infrastructure saved the lives of thousands of patients during the pandemic”, he added. The Prime Minister concluded by stressing the need to improve the present conditions as well as work for the future. “I wish that you and your families stay free from any diseases”, Shri Modi said. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Members of Parliament, Shri C R Patil, Shri Narhari Amin, Shri Kiritbhai Solanki and Shri Hasmukhbhai Patel were those present on occasion among others.

The Prime Minister appreciated the spirit and the hard work of our farmers, for their achievements in agriculture since independence.

He said a new chapter in Agriculture Marketing Reform is being added in this programme, with the e-marketing portal for organic products.

He said, on one hand, when the country is celebrating 75 years of independence, Bhavnagar has completed 300 years of its establishment. In this journey of 300 years, Bhavnagar has made steady growth and has made its mark as the cultural capital of Saurashtra. This development journey of Bhavnagar will get a new momentum through the projects being launched and planned today. He said that he is of the firm belief that Rajkot-Jamnagar-Bhavnagar area will soon have the same aura as Surat-Vadodara-Ahmedabad. He said that Bhavnagar has immense potential in industry, agriculture and business. Today’s event is a living example of the efforts of the double-engine government in this direction. The Prime Minister remarked that Bhavnagar is a district situated on the coast and Gujarat has the longest coastline in the country. But due to the lack of attention to coastal development in the post-independence decades, this vast coastline had become a kind of big challenge for the people. Highlighting the work done by the double-engine government, the Prime Minister remarked that in the last two decades, the government has made sincere efforts to make Gujarat’s coastline the gateway to India’s prosperity. “We have developed many ports in Gujarat, modernized many ports”, the Prime Minister added, “New opportunities for employment were created.” The Prime Minister pointed out that Gujarat was the first state in the country to get an LNG terminal and today, Gujarat has three LNG terminals. Throwing light on the importance of the coastal ecosystem, the Prime Minister remarked that the government has played a key role in developing coastal industries and energy networks for these industries. Fishing harbours were constructed and fish processing was promoted for the benefit of the fishermen’s community. Mangrove forests were also developed in the area. Shri Modi also commented that the then government in the Center had said that many lessons can be learnt from Gujarat about how to develop a coastal area. The Prime Minister also said that the government has taken key steps to take aquaculture forward. Remarking on the coastline of Gujarat, the Prime Minister said that it has become a medium of employment for lakhs of people today besides playing a big role in the import and export of the country. “Today, Gujarat’s coastline is emerging as synonymous with renewable energy and the hydrogen ecosystem”, he continued, “We have tried to make Saurashtra a centre of energy. Today, whatever be the energy needs of the country, this region is becoming an important hub of that.” The Prime Minister underlined that the port of Bhavnagar will play a big role in building a self-reliant India and create hundreds of new employment opportunities in the state. “There will be an expansion of business related to storage, transportation and logistics”, Shri Modi added. Referring to the legacy of the Alang Ship breaking yard, the Prime Minister said that the biggest beneficiary of the Vehicle Scrappage Policy will be Bhavnagar. He also underlined the related opportunities of container building from the scrapped iron. Remarking on Lothal being an important centre of our heritage, the Prime Minister said that it is the oldest port in the world and the construction of Lothal Maritime Museum will create a new identity for the place. The Prime Minister also pointed out that work is being carried out at a rapid pace to bring it on the tourism map of the whole world. “Along with Lothal, the eco-tourism circuit in Velavadar National Park is also going to benefit Bhavnagar, especially small businesses”, the Prime Minister added. Shri Modi recalled a time when the fishermen of the area had to face life-threatening situations due to a lack of awareness. Recalling the time when the Prime Minister was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he said that a special red basket with several buttons was handed out to the fisherman. In times of an emergency, the fisherman had to press the button to summon the coast guard office for assistance or help. The Prime Minister further added that subsidies have been provided to the fishermen to improve the condition of their boats. “Along the lines of empowerment of farmers, credit cards were issued to fishermen”, Shri Modi said. The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction with the changes that have been brought about after the implementation of the Sauni Yojna which began in Rajkot. Emphasizing the relentless progress of the project despite initial cynicism in some quarters, the Prime Minister said “today, the Sauni Yojna is taking Narmada to all the places where it is supposed to go at a meteoric pace”. The Prime Minister highlighted that the projects that have been inaugurated today will take the waters of the Narmada river to many districts of Bhavnagar and Amreli. Shri Modi pointed out that it will immensely benefit the farmers of several villages of Gariadhar, Jesar and Mahuva talukas of Bhavnagar, along with Rajula and Khambha talukas of Amreli district. “Work has also started today to reach hundreds of villages and dozens of cities in Bhavnagar, Gir Somnath, Amreli, Botad, Junagadh, Rajkot and Porbandar districts”, the Prime Minister added. In concluding the address, the Prime Minister said that supporting those who have been left behind is a commitment of the double-engine government. When the poorest of the poor get resources and dignity, they overpower poverty by the dint of hard work and perseverance. The Prime Minister remarked, “In Gujarat, we often organize Garib Kalyan Melas. During one such program, I handed over a tricycle to a sister here in Bhavnagar. Then that sister told me that I have never driven a tricycle. So give electric tricycle only. This faith and these dreams of the poor are my strength even today. These dreams, these aspirations of the poor give me the energy to work continuously.” The Prime Minister recalled his long association with Bhavnagar and remembered his old associates and went down memory lane. He said that today’s projects will contribute to the bright future of Bhavnagar. He thanked the people for their ever-growing affection for him. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, Member of Parliament, Shri C R Patil, Dr Bhartiben Shiyal and Shri Naranbhai Kacchadiya were those present on the occasion among others. Background The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth over ₹5200 crores in Bhavnagar. The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of the World’s First CNG Terminal and of brownfield port at Bhavnagar. The port will be developed at a cost of over ₹4000 crores and will have the state-of-the-art infrastructure for the world’s first CNG Terminal along with the world’s fourth largest lock gate system. In addition to the CNG Terminal, the port will also cater to the future needs and demands of various upcoming projects in the region. The port will have an ultra-modern Container Terminal, Multipurpose Terminal, and Liquid Terminal with direct door-step connectivity to the existing roadway and railway network. It will not only lead to economic benefits in terms of cost saving in handling cargo but also generate employment for people in the region. Also, the CNG Import Terminal will provide an additional alternate source of energy to meet the growing demands for clean energy. The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi also inaugurated the Regional Science Centre in Bhavnagar, which is spread over 20 acres and has been built at a cost of around ₹100 crores. The centre has several theme-based galleries including Marine Aquatic gallery, Automobile gallery, Nobel Prize gallery – Physiology and Medicine, Electro-Mechanics gallery, and Biology Science gallery.

Murugan, Bharti Pawar Ji Ministers of the Tamil Nadu Government, Members of Parliament, Members of the Tamil Nadu Assembly, Sisters and brothers of Tamil Nadu, Vanakkam! Let me begin by conveying Pongal and Makar Sankranti greetings to you all. As the famous song goes – தை பிறந்தால் வழி பிறக்கும் Today we are meeting for two special reasons: The inauguration of 11 medical colleges. And The inauguration of the new building of the Central Institute of Classical Tamil. Thus, we are furthering the health of our society and making the connect with our culture stronger. Friends, Medical education is one of the most desired streams for studies. The problem of shortage of doctors in India was well-known. But there were not enough efforts to address this problem. Perhaps vested interests also did not let previous governments take the right decisions. And, access to medical education remained an issue. Ever since we have taken office, our Government has worked to address this gap. In 2014, our country had 387 medical colleges. In last seven years only, this number has gone up to 596 medical colleges. This is an increase of 54 percent. In 2014, our country had around 82 thousand medical Under Graduate and Post Graduate seats. In last seven years, this number has gone up to around 1 lakh 48 thousand seats. This is an increase of about 80 percent. In 2014, there were only seven AIIMS in the country. But after 2014, the number of AIIMS approved has increased to twenty two. At the same time, various reforms have been under-taken to make the medical education sector more transparent. Regulations for setting up medical colleges and hospitals have been liberalised without compromising on quality. Friends, I am told that this would be the first time that 11 medical colleges are being inaugurated at one stroke located in any one State. Just few days back, I had inaugurated 9 medical colleges at the same time in Uttar Pradesh. So, I am getting to break my own record. It is important to address regional imbalances. In that light, it is good to see 2 of the medical colleges inaugurated are in the aspirational districts of Ramanathapuram and Virudhunagar. These are districts where the development needs require special attention. One college is in the remote hilly district of the Nilgiris. Friends, The once in a lifetime COVID-19 pandemic has re-affirmed the importance of the health sector. The future will belong to societies which invest in healthcare. The Government of India has brought many reforms in the sector. Thanks to Ayushman Bharat, the poor have access to top quality and affordable healthcare. The cost of knee implants and stents have become one third of what it was. PM-Jan Aushadhi Yojana has brought about a revolution in access to affordable medicines. There are over 8000 such stores in India. This scheme has particularly helped the poor and the middle class. The money spent on medicines has come down greatly. To further healthy lifestyle among women, sanitary napkins are being provided at a cost of 1 Rupee. I would urge the people of Tamil Nadu to take full advantage of this scheme. The Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Infrastructure Mission aims to address the critical gaps in health infrastructure and health research especially at District level. A support of over Rupees three thousand crore would be provided to Tamil Nadu in the next five years. This will help in establishing Urban Health & Wellness Centres, District Public Health labs and Critical Care Blocks across the state. The benefits of this for the people of Tamil Nadu will be immense. Friends, In the coming years I envision India as being the go-to destination for quality and affordable care. India has everything needed to be a hub for medical tourism. I say this based on the skills of our doctors. I urge the medical fraternity to look at tele-medicine as well. Today, the world has also taken note of Indian practices that further wellness. This includes Yoga, Ayurveda and Siddha. We are working to make these popular in a language the world understands. Friends, The new building of the Central Institute of Classical Tamil will make Tamil studies more popular. It will also give a wider canvas to students and researchers. I am told that the Central Institute of Classical Tamil intends to translate Tirukkural in various Indian and foreign languages. This is a good step. I have always been fascinated by the richness of the Tamil language and culture. One of the happiest moments of my life was when I got a chance to speak a few words in the world’s oldest language, Tamil, at the United Nations. The Sangam classics are our window to the rich society and culture of the ancient times. Our Government also had the honour of setting up ‘Subramania Bharati Chair’ on Tamil Studies at Banaras Hindu University. Located in my Parliamentary constituency, this will drive greater curiosity about Tamil. When I launched a translation of Thirukkural in Gujarati, I knew that the rich thoughts of this timeless work would connect with the people of Gujarat and drive greater interest in ancient Tamil literature. Friends, We have given great emphasis on promotion of Indian languages and Indian Knowledge Systems in our National Education Policy 2020. Tamil can now be studied as a classical language in school education at the secondary level or middle level. Tamil is one of the languages in the Bhasha-Sangam where school students get familiar with 100 sentences in various Indian languages in audio, videos. Largest e-content of Tamil has been digitized under the Bharatavani project. Friends, We are encouraging education in mother tongue and local languages at schools. Our Government has also started making technical courses like Engineering available to students in Indian languages. Tamil Nadu has produced many bright Engineers. Many of them have become top global technology and business leaders. I call upon this talented Tamil diaspora to help develop Tamil language content in STEM courses. We are also developing an Artificial intelligence based language translation tool to translate English language online courses into twelve different Indian languages including Tamil. Friends, India’s diversity is our strength. Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat seeks to enhance the spirit of unity in diversity and bring our people closer. When a young child in Haridwar sees a Thiruvalluvar statue and finds out about his greatness, a seed of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat is laid in a young mind. A similar spirit is seen when a child from Haryana visits the rock memorial at Kanyakumari. When children from Tamil Nadu or Kerala learn about Veer Baal Divas, they get connected with the life and message of the Sahibzades. The great sons of this soil who sacrificed their lives but never compromised on their ideals. Let us make efforts to discover other cultures. I assure you that you will enjoy it. Friends, Before I conclude, I would like to request you all to follow all COVID-19 related protocols particularly mask discipline. India’s vaccination drive is making remarkable progress. In the last few days, youngsters in the 15 to 18 category have begun to get their doses. The precaution dose for the elderly and healthcare workers have begun too. I urge all those who are eligible to get vaccinated. Guided by the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas, all of us have to work together to bring a positive change in the lives of 135 crore Indians. Learning from the pandemic we keep working to ensure inclusive and quality healthcare services to all our countrymen. We need to learn from our rich culture and build the foundations of Amrit Kaal for the future generations to come. Best wishes once again to all on the occasion of Pongal. May it bring peace and prosperity to all of us. Vanakkam. Thank you.",১১ খন নতুন চিকিৎসা মহাবিদ্যালয় আৰু তামিলনাডুৰ কেন্দ্ৰীয় শাস্ত্ৰীয় তামিল প্ৰতিষ্ঠানৰ এটা নতুন চৌহদৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পাঠৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-takes-part-in-a-programme-at-sri-suttur-mutt/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE/,"“When the consciousness of India diminished, the saints and sages all over the country revived the soul of the country” “Temples and Mutts kept the culture and knowledge alive in the difficult period” “The energy given by Lord Basaveshwara to our society, the ideals of democracy, education and equality, are still in the foundation of India” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi took part in a programme at Sri Suttur Mutt, Mysuru today. HH Jagadguru Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswamiji, Shri Siddeshwara Swamiji, Governor of Karnataka, Shri Thawar Chand Gehlot, Chief Minister Shri Basavaraj Bommai, and Union Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi were among those present on the occasion Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister bowed to the goddess Chamundeshwari and expressed his gratitude to be present at the Mutt and among the saints. He paid homage to the spiritual tradition of the Sri Suttur Mutt. He expressed the hope that with the modern initiatives that are underway, the institution will give new expansion to its pledges. The Prime Minister dedicated to people, many ‘Bhashyas’ to the Narad Bhakti Sutra, Shiv Sutra and Patanjali Yoga Sutra by Shri Siddeshwara Swamiji. He said that Shri Siddeshwara Swamiji belongs to the ‘shruti’ tradition of ancient India. The Prime Minister said, as per scripture, there is nothing as noble as knowledge that is why our sages shaped our consciousness that is laced with knowledge and adorned with science, the one that grows by enlightenment and gets stronger by research. “Time and epochs changed and India faced many storms. But, when the consciousness of India diminished, the saints and sages all over the country revived the soul of the country by churning the whole of India”, the Prime Minister said. He said temples and Mutt kept the culture and knowledge alive in the difficult period of centuries. The Prime Minister said that the existence of truth is not based on just research but on service and sacrifice. Sri Suttur Mutt and JSS Maha Vidyapeeth are examples of this spirit that keeps service and sacrifice above even faith. Talking about the egalitarian and spiritual ethos of southern India, the Prime MInister said “The energy given by Lord Basaveshwara to our society, the ideals of democracy, education and equality, are still in the foundation of India.” Shri Modi remembered the occasion when he dedicated the statue of Lord Basaveshwara in London and recalled saying that if we compare Magna Carta and teachings of Lord Basaveshwara we will find out about the vision of equal society centuries ago. This inspiration of selfless service, said the Prime Minister, is the foundation of our nation. He remarked that this time period of ‘Amrit Kaal’ is a good occasion for Sabka Prayas in accordance with the teachings of the sages. For this there is a need to link our efforts with the national pledges, he said. The Prime Minister highlighted the natural organic place of education in Indian society and said “Today, the example of ‘National Education Policy’ in the field of education is before us. With the ease that is part of the country’s nature, our new generation should get an opportunity to move forward. For this, options are being given in local languages”. Shri Modi said that it is the effort of the government that not even a single citizen remains unaware of the country’s heritage. He underlined the role of the spiritual institutions in this campaign and campaigns like girl education, environment, water conservation and Swachh Bharat. He also emphasised the importance of natural farming. The Prime Minister concluded by seeking the guidance and blessings of the great tradition and saints for fulfilling all the expectations from him.",শ্ৰী সুতুৰ মঠৰ এক অনুষ্ঠানত অংশগ্ৰহণ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-receives-lata-deenanath-mangeshkar-award-at-a-ceremony-in-mumbai/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81/,"“What can be a greater privilege than to have received the love of a sister from Lata Didi, who has given the gift of love and emotion to generations” “I dedicate this award to all the countrymen . As Lata Didi belonged to people, this award given to me in her name also belongs to people” “She gave voice to India before independence, and the country’s journey of these 75 years has also been associated with her voice” “Lata ji worshipped music but patriotism and national service also got inspiration through her songs” “Lata ji was like a melodious manifestation of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat’” “Lata ji’s notes worked to unite the whole country. Globally too, she was India’s cultural ambassador” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi attended the Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Awards Ceremony in Mumbai today. On this occasion, Prime Minister was conferred 1st Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award. This award, which has been instituted in memory of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar, will be given every year exclusively to one individual for exemplary contribution towards nation building. Governor of Maharashtra Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Members of Mangeshkar Family were among those present on the occasion. The Prime Minister started by saying that though he does not have not too deep a knowledge of music but by cultural appreciation, it is felt that sangeet is both a ‘sadhna’ and an emotion. He continued and said “the one that expresses the unexpressed is word. One that fills the expressed with energy and consciousness is ‘naad’. And the one that fills conscious with emotions and feelings and takes it to the extreme of creation and sensitivity is ‘sangeet’. Music can fill you with valour, motherly affection. It can take one to the pinnacle of patriotism and sense of duty. “We are fortunate to have seen this capability and strength of music, in the form of Lata Didi”, he said. On a personal note, Shri Modi said “For me, Lata Didi was the ‘Sur Samragyi’ as well as my elder sister. What can be a greater privilege than to have received the love of a sister from Lata Didi, who has given the gift of love and emotion to generations”, he said. Prime Minister said that he is not generally not very comfortable with receiving awards but when the Mangeshkar Family calls with and award that carries the name of an elder sister like Lata Didi, then it becomes a symbol of her affection and love. “It is not simply possible for me to say no to this. I dedicate this award to all the countrymen. As Lata Didi belonged to people, this award given to me in her name also belongs to people”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister narrated many personal anecdotes and elaborated upon the immense contribution of Lata Didi to the cultural world. “Lata ji’s physical journey was completed at a time when our country is celebrating Amrit Mahotsav of its freedom. She gave voice to India before independence, and the country’s journey of these 75 years was also associated with her voice”, said the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister talked about the strand of patriotism in the Mangeshkar family. He said “Along with the song, the consciousness of patriotism that was within Lata Didi, her father was the source of it’. Shri Modi narrated the incident when a song written by Veer Savarkar was sung by Dinanath ji in a program of the British Viceroy in Shimla during the freedom struggle. The song was written by Veer Savarkar challenging the British rule. This feeling of patriotism was given in inheritance to his family by Deenanath ji, said the Prime Minister. Lata ji made music her worship but patriotism and national service also got inspiration through her songs. Referring to the illustrious career of Lata Didi, the Prime Minister said “Lata ji was like a melodious manifestation of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat’. She sang thousands of songs in more than 30 languages. Whether it was Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit or other Indian language, her sur was equally at home everywhere”. Shri Modi continued “From culture to faith, from east to west, from north to south, Lata ji’s notes worked to unite the whole country. Globally too, she was India’s cultural ambassador.” She is ingrained in the minds of people in every state, in every region. She showed how music can be immortal with Indianness, said the Prime Minister. Prime Minister also touched upon the philanthropic works of the family. The Prime Minister said for India, development means Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas , Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas. This project also encompasses the philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’ welfare of all. The Prime Minister explained that such a notion of development cannot be achieved by just material capabilities. For this spiritual consciousness is critically important. That is why, India is providing leadership in areas like yoga, Ayurveda and environment. “I believe, our Indian music is also an important part of this contribution of India. Let us keep this heritage alive with the same values and carry it forward, and make it a medium of world peace”, concluded the Prime Minister.",মুম্বাইত অনুষ্ঠিত এক অনুষ্ঠানত ‘লতা দীননাথ মংগেশকাৰ বঁটা’ গ্ৰহণ কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-delivers-state-of-the-world-special-address-at-the-world-economic-forums-davos-agenda/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%85%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%88%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%9E%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE/,"“During Corona time, India saved many lives by supplying essential medicines and vaccines while following its vision of ‘One Earth, One Health’” “India is committed to become world’s reliable partner in global supply-chains” “This is the best time to invest in India” “Not only India is focussing on easing the processes in its quest for self-reliance, it is also incentivizing investment and production” “India is making policies keeping in mind the goals of next 25 years.

He asked whether the multilateral organizations are in a position to tackle the challenges of the world order in a changed scenario, as the world has changed from the time when these organization came into being. “That is why it is imperative that every democratic nation should push for reforms of these bodies so that they can come up to the task dealing with the challenges of the present and the future”, he concluded.",বিশ্ব অৰ্থনৈতিক মঞ্চৰ দাভোছ কাৰ্যসূচীত ‘বিশ্বৰ পৰিস্থিতি’ৰ বিষয়ত বিশেষ ভাষণ প্ৰদান কৰে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-loss-of-lives-in-ups-kushinagar-mishap/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%81/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the loss of lives in UP`s Kushinagar mishap.

Karnataka is one of those states in the country where both the economic and spiritual prosperity of the country are seen simultaneously. Karnataka is a perfect example of how we can fulfil the resolutions of the 21st century while enriching our ancient culture; and in Mysuru, this amalgamation of history, heritage and modernity is visible everywhere. Hence, Mysuru has been chosen this time to celebrate our heritage on the International Day of Yoga and to connect crores of people of the world with a healthy lifestyle. Tomorrow, countless people from around the world will connect with this historical land of Mysuru and perform yoga. Brothers & Sisters, This land has given many great personalities like Nalwadi Krishna Wadiyar, Sir M Visvesvaraya ji and Rashtrakavi Kuvempu to the country. Such personalities have contributed significantly to the heritage and development of India. These great personalities have taught and shown us the way to connect the life of common man with facilities and respect. The double engine government is working shoulder to shoulder with full force in Karnataka. We are witnessing the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’, here in Mysuru today. A short while back, I spoke to the beneficiaries of several government schemes for the welfare of the people and that is why I was late in coming on the stage; because they had so much to tell and I too enjoyed listening to them. So, I was interacting with them for quite a long time. And they have shared a lot. But we have also taken an initiative to overcome the problems of those people who cannot speak; a centre has been launched today which encourages better research for their treatment. Also, with the foundation stone being laid for the Mysuru Coaching Complex Project, the Mysuru railway station will be modernized and rail connectivity will be strengthened here. My dear brothers and sisters of Mysuru, This year is the 75th year of independence. In the last 7 decades, Karnataka has seen many governments. Various governments were formed in the country as well. Every government talked a lot about the welfare of the villagers, poor, dalits, deprived, backward classes, women and farmers as well as formulated certain schemes for them. But their reach was limited; their influence was limited; their benefits were also limited to a small area. In 2014, when you gave us the opportunity to serve at the centre, we decided to change the old systems and methods. We started work on mission mode to make government benefits and government schemes reach every person and every section of people who were entitled to it. They should get the benefits they are entitled to! Brothers & Sisters, In the last 8 years, we have extensively expanded the schemes for the welfare of the poor. Earlier, they were limited to only one state, but now they have been made accessible to the whole country like the ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’. For the last two years, more than 4.5 crore poor people of Karnataka have been getting the facility of free ration. If a person from Karnataka goes to other states for work, even then the same facility will be available to him there under ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’. Similarly, the benefit of Ayushman Bharat scheme is being availed all over the country. With the help of this scheme, 29 lakh poor patients of Karnataka have got free treatment so far. As a result, the poor could save Rs 4000 crore. I just met a young man called Nitish. His whole face was disfigured because of an accident. He got a new life because of Ayushman card. He was so happy and full of confidence because his face was restored to what it was before. I was so delighted to hear his words because the use of every penny from the government could instil a new confidence in the lives of the poor and could infuse new strength to enable them of taking new resolutions. Friends, If we had given the money directly to them, they might not have undergone the treatment. If the beneficiaries of this scheme live in any other state, even then they are getting the full benefits there as well. Friends, In the schemes made by our government in the last 8 years, priority was given to the spirit that these should reach all sections of the society, all areas of the society and touch every corner of the country. On one hand, we have given many incentives to the youth under the start up policy, while on the other hand the money of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is also reaching the farmers continuously today. Under PM Kisan Nidhi, more than 56 lakh small farmers of Karnataka have received about Rs 10,000 crore in their accounts so far. On one hand we have a PLI scheme of about Rs 2 lakh crore to promote industries and manufacturing sector in the country, while on the other hand through Mudra Yojana, PM Svanidhi Yojana and Kisan Credit Card campaign, the small entrepreneurs, small farmers, livestock farmers and street vendors are being given easy loans from banks. You might also like to know that under the Mudra Yojana, lakhs of small entrepreneurs of Karnataka have been given loans of more than Rs.1 lakh 80 thousand crores. Being a tourist destination, this scheme has helped a lot for the people providing home stays, guest houses, and other services. PM Svanidhi Yojana has also helped more than 1.5 lakh street vendors of Karnataka. Brothers & Sisters, Over the past 8 years, we have empowered social justice with an effective last mile delivery. Today, the poor are convinced that they will also certainly get the benefits of the schemes whose benefits have already been availed by their neighbour. His turn would come. A strong trust of receiving 100% benefits i.e. saturation, without discrimination and leakage, has been developed in the families of common men in the country. When 3.75 lakh poor families of Karnataka get pucca houses, then this trust gets stronger. When more than 50 lakh families of Karnataka start getting piped water supply for the first time, then this trust grows further. When the poor is free from the worry of basic amenities, then he engages in the development of the nation with more enthusiasm. Brothers & Sisters, During the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’, every necessary step is being taken to ensure the participation of everyone in the development of India. Our ‘Divyang’ friends had to face difficulties at every step. Our government is constantly making efforts to minimize the dependence of our differently-abled companions on others. So in our currency, new features have been added in the coins for the convenience of the ‘Divyang’. Courses related to the education of differently-abled are being enriched all over the country. Emphasis is being laid on making public places, buses, railways and other offices ‘Divyang-friendly’. Common sign language has also been developed to reduce the problems of ”Divyangjans’ on moving from one place to another. Necessary equipment has also been given free of cost to crores of ”Divyangjans” of the country. Even today, the modern Sir M Visvesvaraya railway station in Bangalore, which has been inaugurated, has Braille maps and special signages and a ramp facility in the subway connecting all the platforms. In Mysuru, All India Institute of Speech and Hearing is providing a great service. Centre of Excellence has been inaugurated today for this institute to help the ‘Divyang’ human resources of the country to become an important force for building a strong India. For those who cannot speak, this centre will encourage research related to better treatment of their problems, provide solutions to improve their lives and empower them. And today I would like to make a special request to the youth from the start-up world that as you have ideas and are innovative thinkers, your start-ups can also do a lot for my ‘Divyang’ brothers and sisters. Your start-up can develop many such things which can give a great new strength to my ‘Divyang’ brothers and sisters in life. And I believe that the youth from the world of start-ups will join me in the concern for my ‘Divyang’ brothers and together we will do something good for them. Brothers & Sisters, Modern infrastructure plays the biggest role in making life and business easier. The double engine government in Karnataka is working in this direction in a huge way. In the last 8 years, the central government has sanctioned about Rs 70 thousand crore for 5000 Km of national highways in Karnataka. Today, the foundation stone of national highway projects worth more than Rs 7,000 crore has been laid in Bangalore. The Central Government is going to spend about Rs 35,000 crore this year to create thousands of employment opportunities and connectivity in Karnataka through National Highways. I am glad that due to the double engine government in Karnataka, these projects are getting off the ground and getting completed at a faster pace. Friends, Rail connectivity has benefitted Karnataka even more in the last 8 years. The work that has been started for the modernization of Mysuru railway station and Nagenahalli station will make life easier for the farmers and the youth here. Nagenahalli is also being developed as a coaching terminal and MEMU train shed for suburban traffic. This will reduce the present burden on Mysuru yard. With the running of MEMU trains, commuters travelling to and from Mysuru city on a daily basis from central Bangalore, Mandya and other adjoining areas will be benefitted a lot. With this, tourism of Mysuru will also get a strong boost and new employment opportunities related to tourism will also be created. Friends, I want to give you another example of how the government of double engine is working for the development of Karnataka and for improving the connectivity here. Before 2014, the government at the centre, in the railway budget, used to make an average provision of Rs 800 crore for Karnataka every year. I would request the Media friends from Karnataka to keep this in mind. The previous government used to make an average provision of Rs 800 crore every year. But now, a provision of about Rs 7,000 crore has been made in the budget by the central government this year. That is, a straight increase of more than 6 times. For Karnataka, work is going on over projects worth more than Rs 34,000 crore for railways. Even in terms of electrification of railway lines, you will be surprised to hear the way our government has worked. Let me give you a statistical figure. Pay attention to it. During the ten years prior to 2014, i.e. from 2004 to 2014, only 16 km of railway lines in Karnataka were electrified. But during our government’s tenure, about 1600 km of railway lines have been electrified in Karnataka; 16 Kilometre in 10 year and 1600 Kilometre in these 8 years! This is the working speed of the double engine. Brothers & Sisters, This pace of overall development of Karnataka should remain like this. Let the double engine government continue to serve you like this. With this determination we are always ready to serve you and your blessings are our greatest strength. You have come in such a large number to bless us. Your blessings give us immense strength to serve you more. I once again congratulate all of you from the bottom of my heart for these various schemes. I am deeply grateful to you for the way Karnataka has welcomed me today in Bengaluru and Mysuru. And tomorrow when the whole world celebrates Yoga Day, when the world is connected with yoga, then the eyes of the whole world are going to be on Mysuru too. My best wishes to you and heartiest congratulations! Thanks a lot!",কৰ্ণাটকৰ মহীশূৰত উন্নয়নমূলক আঁচনি শুভাৰম্ভণিৰ সময়ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে আগবঢ়োৱাৰ ভাষণৰ ইংৰাজী উপস্থাপ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-meeting-with-the-president-of-france-on-the-sidelines-of-g-20-summit-in-bali/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF-20-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi met H.E.

My colleagues in the Union Cabinet, all the dignitaries associated with education, skill development, science, technology and research, and ladies and gentlemen, Our government has developed a special tradition of pre-budget and post-budget discussions with stakeholders. Today’s program is a sequel to that. In this regard, the provisions made in the budget regarding education and skill development are going to be discussed in detail today with all the stakeholders. Friends, Our young generation is the helmsman of the country and they are also the nation builders of the future. Therefore, empowering today’s young generation means empowering India’s future. Keeping this in mind, a lot of emphasis has been laid on five things related to the education sector in the 2022 budget. First: Universalization of Quality Education: Important decisions have been made to expand our education system, improve its quality and increase the capacity of the education sector. Second: Skill Development: There should be a digital skilling ecosystem in the country. At a time when Industry 4.0 is being discussed, attention has been paid to skill development as per the demand of the industry and to improve industry linkage. The third important aspect is: Urban planning and design: It is necessary to integrate the ancient experience and knowledge of India with our education today. The fourth important aspect is: Internationalization: World-class foreign universities should come to India and institutes associated with fin-tech should be encouraged to invest in our industrial areas, like GIFT City. The fifth important aspect is: AVGC, i.e. Animation Visual Effects Gaming Comic: It has a huge global market with immense employment potential. Emphasis has been laid to harness Indian talent in this regard. This year’s budget will go a long way in implementing the new National Education Policy. Friends, I was stressing the digital future of the country long before the advent of Corona. Some people questioned our efforts in connecting villages with optical fiber, keeping the cost of data to a minimum and improving the connectivity infrastructure. But everyone has seen the importance of these efforts during the pandemic. It is digital connectivity that kept our education system afloat in this time of the global pandemic. We are witnessing the rapid decline in the digital divide in India. Innovations are ensuring inclusion in our country. And now the country is moving towards integration even beyond inclusion. Many announcements have been made in this year’s budget to strengthen the foundation of the novelty that we want to bring to the education system in this decade. Digital education is part of the broader vision of India moving towards a digital future. Therefore, educational infrastructure like e-Vidya, One Class One Channel, Digital Labs and Digital University is going to help the youth a lot. This is an attempt to provide better solutions for education to all, be it villages, poor, Dalit, backward, tribal community, in the socio-economic setup of India. Friends, National Digital University is a unique and unprecedented step of its kind in the education system of India. I can see great potential in the digital university that can completely address the problem of seats in our country. You can imagine a huge change in the education world when there will be unlimited seats for every subject. This digital university will prepare the youth for the current and future needs of learning and re-learning. I request the Ministry of Education, UGC, AICTE and all the stakeholders to ensure the early start of this digital university. It is our combined responsibility to ensure that this digital university runs with international standards from the very beginning. Friends, The intent of the government to build institutions of global standard in the country itself and the policy framework for the same is before you. Now you have to accomplish this intent with your efforts. Today is also World Mother Language Day. Education in the mother tongue is linked to the mental development of children. Medical and technical education in local languages has been started in many states. Now it is the special responsibility of all academicians to speed up the creation of the best content and its digital version in local Indian languages. Work has to be done to make the E-content accessible in Indian languages to all through Internet, mobile phone, TV and radio. We are also developing such courses in Indian sign language which are empowering Divyang youth. It is very important to keep improving it continuously. We have to emphasize training teachers online for digital tools and how to deliver digital content in a better way. Friends, Dynamic skilling is very important for a self-reliant India and also in terms of global talent demand. We have to prepare our demographic dividend fast in view of the speed with which the old job roles are changing. Therefore, there is a need for academia and industry to work together. This is the thinking behind the announcement of the Digital Ecosystem for Skilling and Livelihood (DESH STACK e-Portal) and e-Skilling Labs in the budget. Friends, We are putting a lot of focus on industries such as tourism, drone, animation and cartoon and defence. We need trained manpower for the existing industries and start-ups associated with these sectors. The formation of a task force for the development of animation, visual effects, gaming and comic sectors is going to be of great help in this regard. Similarly, urban planning and designing is the need of the country and also an opportunity for the youth. India is moving rapidly towards transforming its urban landscape in the virtuous period of independence. Therefore, the country expects institutions like AICTE to ensure continuous improvement in the education and training related to it. Friends, Your inputs will be useful for the country on how to empower the campaign of AatmaNirbhar Bharat through the education sector. I am sure we will be able to meet the budget targets faster with our combined efforts. There is only primary education in villages. But experiences show that we can ensure good quality education even in villages through smart class, animation and distance education or through our new concept One Class, One Channel. There is a provision for this in the budget. How do we implement this? It is not expected today to discuss how the budget should be, because it is over. Now it is expected of you to implement the budget proposals seamlessly and as soon as possible. You must have studied the budget. You are in this field. We should strive to create a good roadmap in a time-bound manner by combining the requirements of your work, the education department and the skill department. You must have noticed that we have preponed the budget by about a month. Earlier the budget used to be presented on 28th February. Now it has been advanced to 1st February, so that every arrangement should be in place before we start implementing the budget proposals from 1st April itself. Our time should not be wasted. And I would like you to (contribute) a lot to it. I understand there are some issues which are not related to the education department. Now the country has decided to move a large number of Sainik Schools towards the Public-Private Partnership model. What should be the structure of the Sainik Schools and what would be the Public-Private Partnership model? The defence ministry is going to provide the budget for this. What kind of special training for teachers would be required in the new Sainik Schools because it involves the physical part as well? How can we do that? Similarly, it is regarding sports. There has been a special attraction towards sports in our country after this year’s Olympics. It is not only the subject of the world of skills, but it is also the subject of the world of sports because it has a huge role in techniques and technology. We can also contemplate our role in it. Have we ever pondered why our students are forced to study abroad when there are important educational institutions like Nalanda, Taxila and Vallabhi in our country? Is it good for us? Unnecessary money is being spent and families are taking loans for children going out of our country. Can we take care of our children by bringing the world’s universities to our country so that they can study in our own environment and with less expenditure? That is, how to prepare a blueprint for our pre-primary to post-graduation which should be compatible with the 21st century? If anyone feels that the budget could have been better, we will think about it next year. Right now, it is pertinent to implement the budget in a better way so that there is an optimum outcome and not output. For example, those associated with Atal Tinkering Labs may be different, but they are connected with one or the other education system. When we talk about innovation, we should see how to modernize these Atal Tinkering Labs. There are so many issues in the context of national education in the budget. We want to implement the budget immediately and lay the foundation of the ‘Amrit Kal’ in the Amrit Mahotsav of independence. It is necessary to bring about a major change with all the stakeholders like you. As you are aware there is a brief recess after the budget is presented. After that, all the MPs discuss the budget minutely and many good things emerge from those discussions. But we have expanded this scope further. Now the people from the respective departments are holding discussions with the stakeholders directly. When I emphasize “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas” then ‘Sabka Prayas’ (efforts of all) is very important in the budget. Budget is not just a statement of accounts. We can make a big difference with our limited resources if we can utilize the budget in a proper way and timely manner. It is possible only when there is clarity in everyone’s mind regarding the budget. Today’s discussion will also benefit education and skill ministries a lot. Many practical issues will emerge from your discussions regarding the contours of the budget. Express your views openly. What is important is how to implement this budget in a simple way so that there is no gap between the government and the social system. This discussion is more about how to work together. I thank you all for joining this discussion once again.

The decision would facilitate consolidation among the Nationalised Banks to create strong and competitive banks. Salient features: The salient features of the approval Framework for Consolidation of Public Sector Banks are as follows: • The decision regarding creating strong and competitive banks would be solely based on commercial considerations. • The proposal must start from the Boards of Banks. • The proposals received from Banks for in-principle approval to formulate schemes of amalgamation shall be placed before the Alternative Mechanism (AM). • After in-principle approval, the Banks will take steps in accordance with law and SEBI’s requirements. • The final scheme will be notified by Central Government in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India. Background: In 1991, it was suggested that India should have fewer but stronger Public Sector Banks. However, it was only in May 2016 that effective action to consolidate public sector banks began to be taken by announcing amalgamation of six banks into the State bank of India. The merger was completed in record time, unlike earlier mergers of State Banks of Indore and Saurashtra. SBI is now a single bank with about 24000 branches, over 59000 ATMs, 6 lakh POS machines and over 50,000 business correspondents, which serve all parts of the country, including far flung areas. Indeed 70% of SBI’s network lies in rural and semi urban areas. In that sense, the bank serves to unite India through a uniform banking culture. It also has a significant international presence, and is one of the largest global banks. Its size, financial strength and outreach have made it possible for customers to access a worldwide network of branches across all time zones, as well as to a very wide variety of banking products and superior technology. Loans to the small business man or woman and to the Krishak have become cheaper as SBI offers the lowest lending rates. More than 8.6 lakh merchants have been on board on BHIM Aadhaar, Bharat QR and POS, increasing the digital banking footprint. SBI has successfully raised Rs.15,000 crore QIP. There are now 20 PSBs other than SBI. The banking scenario has changed since 1970/80 when banks were nationalised, with an increased banking presence from Private Sector Banks, non-banking Financial Companies, Regional Rural Banks, Payment Banks and Small Finance Banks. The decision is expected to facilitate the creation of strong and competitive banks in public sector space to meet the credit needs of a growing economy, absorb shocks and have the capacity to raise resources without depending unduly on the state exchequer.",বিকল্প ব্যৱস্থা অনুসৰণেৰে ৰাষ্ট্রীয়কৃত বেংকসমূহৰ একত্ৰিকৰণৰ প্রস্তাৱত নীতিগত অনুমোদন কেবিনেটৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-addresses-the-surat-tiranga-yatra/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%A4/,"“Our Tricolour is a reflection of the pride of our past, the commitment of our present, and also the dreams of the future” “Our national flag itself has been a symbol of the country’s textile industry, the country’s khadi and our self-reliance.” “Our Tricolor is a symbol of India’s unity, India’s integrity and India’s diversity” “These campaigns of public participation will strengthen the foundation of New India” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi addressed the Tiranga Rally in Surat via video conferencing.

Talking about the centrality of content, the Prime Minister said while it is said that ‘content is king, in his experience “Content is Connect.” He explained that, when one has better content, people automatically engage with it. As much as this applies to the media, it is equally applicable to our parliamentary system as there is not only politics in Parliament, there is also policy. He emphasized that common people should feel the connect with the proceedings of the Parliament. He asked the new channel to work in that direction. The Prime Minister said when the Parliament is in session, debates are held on diverse subjects, so there is so much for the youth to learn. Members of Parliament also get inspiration for better conduct, better debate inside the Parliament when the country watches them. He also stressed the need to focus on duties of the citizens and said that the media is an effective medium for this awareness. The Prime Minister noted that from these programs, our youth will get to learn a lot about our democratic institutions, their functioning as well as civic duties. Similarly, there will be a lot of information about working committees, importance of legislative work, and working of legislatures which will help in understanding the democracy of India in depth. He wished that programs will also be made on Panchayats working as grassroots democracy in Parliament TV. These programs will give a new energy, a new consciousness to the democracy of India.","উপ- ৰাষ্ট্ৰপতি, প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী আৰু লোকসভা অধ্যক্ষই যুটীয়াভাৱে সংসদ টিভিৰ শুভাৰম্ভ কৰ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-apprised-of-progress-under-nhm-and-decisions-of-empowered-programme-committee-and-mission-steering-group-of-nhm/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%86/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been apprised of the Progress and new initiatives under National Health Mission (NHM) and the Decisions of the Empowered Programme Committee and Mission Steering Group of NHM.

Wishing you all a very Happy Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav and Gujarat Day! We are all aware of the role played by the Ontario-based Sanatan Mandir Cultural Centre in keeping Indian culture and Indian values alive in Canada. I have experienced this in my visits to Canada that how successful you have been in these efforts of yours and how you have left a positive impression of yourself. We can never forget that memorable recollection of the experience of 2015, that affection and love of people of Indian origin in Canada. I congratulate the Sanatan Mandir Cultural Centre and all of you associated with this innovative effort. This statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the Sanatan Temple will not only strengthen our cultural values, but will also be a symbol of the relationship between the two countries. Friends, wherever an Indian lives in the world, no matter how many generations he has lived, his Indianness, his loyalty to India does not diminish even a little. Whichever country that Indian lives in, he serves that country with full dedication and honesty. The democratic values, the sense of duty that his forefathers carried away from India, are always alive in the corner of his heart. This is because, India along with being a nation, is also a great tradition, an ideological establishment, a ritual of a sacrament. India is the top thinking that talks about ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’. India does not dream of its own upliftment at the cost of the loss of another. India wishes with it the welfare of the entire humanity, the entire world. That is why, in Canada or any other country, when an eternal temple dedicated to Indian culture is made, it also enriches the values of that country. Therefore, if you celebrate the Amrit Mahotsav of India’s Independence in Canada, then there is also a celebration of the shared heritage of democracy. And so, I believe, this celebration of the Amrit Mahotsav of India’s Independence will also give an opportunity to the people of Canada to see India more closely. Friends, The event associated with the Amrit Mahotsav, the site of the Sanatan Mandir Cultural Centre, and the statue of Sardar Patel, are in themselves a great picture of India. What did our freedom fighters dream of in the freedom struggle? How did they struggle for a free country? An India that is modern, an India that is progressive! And at the same time, an India that is connected to its roots by its thoughts, by its thinking, by its philosophy. That is why, Sardar Saheb restored the Somnath temple to remind India of its legacy of thousands of years, which stood at a new juncture after independence. Gujarat witnessed that cultural mahayagya. Today, in the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, we resolve to create a new India like this. We reiterate Sardar Saheb’s resolve to fulfil that dream. And in this ‘Statue of Unity’ is a big inspiration for the country. As a replica of the ‘Statue of Unity’, the statue of Sardar Saheb will be installed at the Sanatan Mandir Cultural Centre in Canada. Friends, Today’s event is a symbol of the fact that India’s Amrit Sankalp is not limited to India’s borders alone. These resolutions are spreading all over the world, connecting the whole world. Today, as we take forward the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ campaign, we also talk of opening up new possibilities of progress for the world. Today, when we strive for the spread of Yoga, we wish ‘Sarve Santu Niramay’ for every person in the world. India’s voice is also representing the entire humanity on topics like climate change and sustainable development. It is time to take this campaign of India forward. Our hard work is not only for ourselves, but the welfare of the entire humanity is linked to India’s progress, and we have to make the world realize this. All of you Indians and all the people of Indian origin have a huge role to play in this. These events of Amrit Mahotsav should be a medium to take India’s efforts, india’s ideas to the world, and it should be our priority! I am confident that by following these ideals of ours, we will also create a new India, and realize the dream of a better world. With that in mind, thank you very much to all of you!",কানাডাৰ সনাতন মন্দিৰ সাংস্কৃতিক কেন্দ্ৰৰদ্বাৰা আয়োজিত এটি কাৰ্য্যক্ৰমত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ মন্তব্যৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-condolences-after-demise-of-renowned-archeologist-shri-braj-basi-lal/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B6/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has paid his condolences after the demise of renowned archeologist Shri Braj Basi Lal.

Our people-to-people relations and close economic ties also make our partnership unique. Trade and investment between us is also expanding continuously, although it is still much below our potential. I am sure that with the India-USA Investment Incentive Agreement between us, we will see concrete progress in the direction of investment. We are increasing our bilateral cooperation in the field of technology, and also strengthening mutual coordination on global issues. Both our countries share the same perspective about the Indo-Pacific region and are working to safeguard our shared values and common interests not only at the bilateral level but also with other like-minded countries. Quad and IPEF announced yesterday are active examples of this. Today our discussion will impart greater speed to this positive momentum. I am confident that the friendship between India and USA will continue to be a force for good for global peace and stability, for the sustainability of the planet, and for the well-being of mankind.",আমেৰিকা যুক্তৰাষ্ট্ৰৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰপতিৰ সৈতে দ্বিপাক্ষিক বৈঠকত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ দ্বাৰা উদ্বোধনী ভাষ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-in-the-91st-episode-of-mann-ki-baat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A9%E0%A7%A7-%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%AD-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE/,"My dear countrymen, Namaskar! This is the 91st episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. Earlier we have talked about so many things, shared our views on myriad topics, but, this time ‘Mann Ki Baat’ is very special. The reason for this is Independence Day this time, when India will complete 75 years of her independence. We are all going to be witness to a splendid and historic moment. The Almighty has blessed us with this great fortune. Think about it… had we been born in the era of slavery, then how would have we imagined this day? That yearning of freedom from slavery, the desperation for freedom from the shackles of subjugation – how formidable it must have been! Those days, when, every single day, we would be seeing millions of countrymen fighting, battling, making sacrifices for the sake of freedom. Then we would wake up every morning with this dream of when my India would be free…. and maybe that day would dawn in our lives when we would dedicate our lives to the generations to come, chanting Vande Mataram and Bharat Maa Ki Jai, spending our youth for the cause. Friends, on the 31st of July i.e. today, all of us countrymen salute the martyrdom of Shaheed Udham Singh ji. I offer my humble tributes to all such other great revolutionaries who sacrificed their all for the country. Friends, I am very happy to see that the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is taking the form of a mass movement. People from all walks of life and from every section of the society are participating in different programs connected with it. One such event took place in Meghalaya earlier this month. People remembered the brave warrior of Meghalaya U. Tirot Singh on his death anniversary. Tirot Singh ji fiercely opposed the British conspiracy to control the Khasi Hills and destroy the culture there. Many artists gave beautiful performances in this program. They made history come alive. A carnival was also organized as part of the event, in which the great culture of Meghalaya was depicted in a beautiful manner. A few weeks ago, in Karnataka, a unique campaign named Amrita Bharathi Kannadarthi was also launched. In this, grand programs related to the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav were organized at 75 places in the state. In these, along with remembering the great freedom fighters of Karnataka, efforts were also made to bring to the fore the local literary achievements. Friends, in this very July an interesting endeavour has been undertaken, named Azadi Ki Railgadi Aur Railway Station. The objective of this effort is to make people know the role of Indian Railways in the freedom struggle. There are many such railway stations in the country, which are associated with the history of the freedom movement. You too will be surprised to know about these railway stations. Gomoh Junction in Jharkhand is now officially known as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Junction Gomoh. Do you know why? Actually at this very station, Netaji Subhash was successful in dodging British officers by boarding the Kalka Mail. All of you must have heard the name of Kakori Railway Station near Lucknow. The names of bravehearts like Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaq Ullah Khan are associated with this station. The brave revolutionaries had displayed their might to the British by looting the treasury of the British being carried by train. Whenever you talk to the people of Tamil Nadu, you will get to know about Vanchi Maniyachchi Junction in Thoothukudi district. This station is named after Tamil freedom fighter Vanchinathan ji. This is the same place where Vanchi, 25 years of age then, had punished one British collector for his actions. Friends, this list is pretty long. 75 such railway stations have been identified spread over 24 states across the country. These 75 stations are being decorated very ornately. Many types of programs are also being organized in these. You should also take out time to visit one such historical station in your vicinity. You will get to know in detail about pages from the history of the freedom movement that you have not been aware of. I urge the students of the nearby school, and the teachers to take the small children of their school to the station and narrate the whole chain of events to those children, explaining them. My dear countrymen, under the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, from the 13th to the 15th of August, a special movement – ’Har Ghar Tiranga- Har Ghar Tiranga’ is being organized. By becoming a part of this movement, from August 13 to 15, you must hoist the tricolor at your home, or adorn your home with it. The Tricolor connects us, inspires us to do something for the country. I also have a suggestion that from the 2nd of August to the 15th of August, all of us can place the tricolor in our social media profile pictures. By the way, do you know, 2nd of August also has a special connection with our tricolor. This day is the birth anniversary of Pingali Venkaiah ji who designed our national flag. I pay my respectful homage to him. Talking about our national flag, I will also remember the great revolutionary Madam Cama. Her role in shaping the Tricolor has been very important. Friends, the biggest message that emerges from all these events being organized in the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is that all of us countrymen should follow our duty with full devotion. Only then will we be able to fulfill the dream of those countless freedom fighters… and to build the India of their dreams. That is why this Amrit Kaal of our next 25 years is Kartavyakaal, a period of duty for every countryman. To liberate the country, our brave fighters had given us this responsibility, and we have to fulfill it fully. My dear countrymen, the fight of our countrymen against Corona is still on. The whole world is still struggling today. The increasing interest of people in Holistic Healthcare has helped everyone a lot in this. We all know how useful Indian traditional methods are in this. In the fight against Corona, AYUSH has played an important role, at the global level. There is a growing interest in Ayurveda and Indian medicine around the world. This is one of the major reasons why Ayush Exports have witnessed a record growth and it is also a matter of joy that many new start-ups are also emerging in this sector. Recently, a Global Ayush Investment and Innovation Summit was held. You will be surprised to know that in this, investment proposals of about ten thousand crore rupees have been received. Another very important happening during the corona period is that, there has been a lot of increase in research on medicinal plants. Many research studies are being published on this. It is definitely a good start. Friends, another great effort has been made in the country in the field of varied medicinal plants and herbs. The Indian Virtual Herbarium was just launched in the month of July. It is also an example of how we can use the digital world to connect with our roots. The Indian Virtual Herbarium is an interesting collection of digital images of preserved plants or plant parts, which is freely available on the web. More than one lakh Specimens and Scientific Information related to them are available on this Virtual Herbarium. In the Virtual Herbarium, a rich picture of the Botanical Diversity of India is also visible. I am sure the Indian Virtual Herbarium will become an important resource for research on Indian flora. My dear countrymen, every time in ‘Mann Ki Baat’ we discuss successes of the countrymen which bring smiles to our faces. If a success story spreads sweet smiles, and also tastes sweet, you will certainly call it icing on the cake. These days our farmers are performing similar wonders in the production of honey. The sweetness of honey is also changing the lives of our farmers, increasing their income. In Yamunanagar, Harayana, there lives a beekeeper friend- Subhash Kamboj ji. Subhash ji underwent training in beekeeping in a scientific way. After that he started his work with just six boxes. Today he is engaged in beekeeping using about two thousand boxes. His honey is supplied across many states. Vinod Kumar ji is also beekeeping in more than one and a half thousand colonies in Palli village of Jammu. He has undertaken training in rearing the queen bee last year. Through this work, he is earning 15 to 20 lakh rupees annually. There is another farmer from Karnataka – Madhukeshwar Hegde ji. Madhukeshwar ji says that he had availed of subsidy from the Government of India for 50 bee colonies. Today he possesses over 800 colonies, and sells tons of honey. He brought in innovation in his work, and is also making botanical honey like Jamun honey, Tulsi honey and Amla honey. Madhukeshwar ji, your innovation and success in madhu, honey production also makes your name meaningful. Friends, you all know how much importance has been given to honey in our traditional health science. In Ayurveda texts, honey has been described as an elixir. Honey, not only imparts taste ; it also gives us health. There are so many possibilities in honey production today that even the youth pursuing professional studies are making it a source of self-employment. One such youth is –Nimit Singh of Gorakhpur,U.P. Nimit ji has done B.Tech. His father is also a doctor, but after his studies, instead of a job, Nimit ji decided to be self-employed. He started honey production. He also got his own lab set up in Lucknow for quality check. Nimit ji is now earning well from honey and Bee Wax, and is also training farmers, going to different states. Due to the hard work of such youth, today the country is becoming such a big honey producer. You will be happy to know that the export of honey from the country has also increased. The country started campaigns like National Beekeeping and Honey Mission, farmers worked hard, and the sweetness of our honey started reaching across the world. There are still huge possibilities in this field. I would like our youth to join these opportunities and take advantage of them and realize new possibilities. My dear countrymen, I have received a letter from a listener of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Shriman Ashish Bahl ji from Himachal Pradesh. He has mentioned in his letter the ‘Minjar Mela’ of Chamba. Actually, the inflorescence of the maize plant is called Minjar. When flowers bloom on the maize, Minjar Mela is also celebrated and in this fair, tourists from all over the country come from far and wide to take part. Incidentally, the Minjar fair is also going on at this time. If you have gone to visit Himachal, you can go to Chamba to see this fair. “Chambe Ek Din Ona Kane Mahina Raina” That is, those who come to Chamba for a day, they stay back here for a month seeing its beauty. Friends, fairs have also been of great cultural importance in our country. Fairs connect people and hearts. When Kharif crops ripen after the rains in Himachal in September, in Shimla, Mandi, Kullu and Solan, Sari or Sair is also celebrated. Jagra is also going to arrive in September itself. In Jagra fairs, Bisu songs are sung after invoking the deity of Mahasu. This awakening of Mahasu Devta takes place in Himachal at Shimla, Kinnaur and Sirmaur; simultaneously in Uttarakhand. Friends, there are many traditional fairs of tribal societies in different states in our country. Some of these fairs are associated with tribal culture, while some are organized in connection with tribal history and heritage. For example, if you get a chance, you must visit the four-day Samakka-Saralamma Jatara Fair in Medaram, Telangana. This fair is called Mahakumbh of Telangana. The Saralamma Jatara Mela is celebrated in honor of two tribal women heores – Samakka and Saralamma. It is a big center of faith for the Koya tribal community, not only in Telangana, but also in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. The Maridamma fair in Andhra Pradesh is also a big fair connected with the beliefs of the tribal society. The Maridamma fair runs from Jyeshtha Amavasya to Ashadh Amavasya and the tribal society here associates it with Shakti upasana, worship. Here, in Peddhapuram, East Godavari, there is also a Maridamma temple. Similarly, the people of Garasiya tribe in Rajasthan organize ‘Siyawa ka Mela’ or ‘Mankhan Ro Mela’ on Vaishakh Shukla Chaturdashi. The ‘Mawli Mela’ of Narayanpur of Bastar in Chhattisgarh is also very special. Nearby, the Bhagoria Mela of Madhya Pradesh is also very famous. It is said that the Bhagoria fair started in the times of Raja Bhoj. Then the Bhil kings, Kasumara and Balun organized these events for the first time in their respective capitals. Ever since, these fairs are being celebrated with equal enthusiasm. Similarly, many fairs like Tarnetar and Madhopur are very famous in Gujarat. Fairs are, in themselves, a great source of energy for our society, our life. There must be many such fairs around you too. In modern times, these old links of the society are very important to strengthen the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat- Shreshtha Bharat’. Our youth must join them and whenever you go to such fairs, share the pictures on social media too. You can also use a specific hashtag if you want. Through this other people will also know about those fairs. You can also upload photos on the website of the Ministry of Culture. In the next few days, the Culture Ministry is going to start a competition, where, those who send the best pictures of the fairs will also be rewarded. So do not delay, visit the fairs, share their pictures, and maybe you will get rewarded too. My dear countrymen, you must have noticed, in one episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ I had said that India has full potential to become a Powerhouse in Toys Exports. I had specially discussed the rich heritage of India in Sports and Games. The local toys of India are eco-friendly, consonant with both tradition and nature. Today I want to share with you the success of Indian Toys. Due to our Youngsters, Start-ups and Entrepreneurs, what our toy industry has achieved, the successes we have achieved, no one could have imagined. Today, when it comes to Indian toys, the echo of Vocal for Local is being heard everywhere. You will also like to know that now the number of toys coming from abroad in India is continuously decreasing. Earlier, where toys worth more than Rs 3 thousand crore used to come from outside, now their import has reduced by 70 percent and it is a matter of joy that during this period, India has exported toys worth more than two thousand six hundred crore rupees to foreign countries. Whereas earlier, only toys worth Rs 300-400 crore used to go out of India. And you already know that all this happened during the Corona period. India’s toy sector has proven its mettle by transforming itself. Indian Manufacturers are now making toys based on Indian Mythology, History and Culture. Toy clusters that are there everywhere in the country, small entrepreneurs who make toys, are getting a lot of benefit from it. The toys made by these small entrepreneurs are now going around the world. Toy manufacturers from India are also working closely with the world’s leading Global Toy Brands. I also liked that, our start-up sector is also paying full attention to the world of toys. They’re also doing a lot of fun things in this area. In Bangalore, a start-up named Shumme Toys is focusing on eco-friendly toys. In Gujarat, Arkidzoo Company is making AR-based Flash Cards and AR-based Storybooks. Pune-based company, Funvention is engaged in kindling the interest of children in Science, Technology and Maths through Learning, Toys and Activity Puzzles. I congratulate all such manufacturers, Start-ups, doing a great job in the world of toys. Let us all together make Indian toys more popular all over the world. Along with this, I would also like to urge the parents to buy more and more Indian Toys, Puzzles and Games. Friends, be it the classroom or the playground, today our youth, in every field, are making the country proud. This month, PV Sindhu has won her first title of Singapore Open. Neeraj Chopra also continued his excellent performance and won the silver medal for the country in the World Athletics Championship. At the Ireland Para Badminton International as well, our players have boosted the glory of the country by winning 11 medals. Indian players also performed well in the World Cadet Wrestling Championship held in Rome. Our athlete Suraj has done wonders in the Greco-Roman event. He has won the Gold Medal of Wrestling in this event after a long gap of 32 years. For the players, this entire month has been full of action. It is also a great honor for India to host the 44th Chess Olympiad in Chennai. This tournament has commenced on the 28th of July and I got the privilege of attending its Opening Ceremony. Commonwealth Games also began in the UK on the same day. An Indian team, full of youthful enthusiasm is representing the country there. I extend my best wishes to all the players and athletes on behalf of the countrymen. I am also happy that India is going to host the FIFA Under 17 Women’s World Cup as well. This tournament will be held around October, which will enhance the enthusiasm of the daughters of the country towards sports. Friends, a few days ago the results of class 10th and 12th have also been declared across the country. I congratulate all those students who have achieved success through their hard work and dedication. Due to the pandemic, the last two years have been extremely challenging. The courage and restraint shown by our youth in these circumstances is highly commendable. I wish everyone a bright future. My dear countrymen, today we started our discussion on 75 years of Independence, with a visit across the country. The next time we meet, the journey of our next 25 years would have already begun. We all have to join for our beloved tricolor to be hoisted at our homes and those of our loved ones. Do share with me how you celebrated Independence Day, if you did anything special, this time. Next time, we will talk again about the different colors of our Amrit Parv. Till then, I take leave of you.

The event was organized on the occasion of the release of Pujya Shastriji Maharaj’s biography – ‘Shri Dharmajivan Gatha’. Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that the deeds and stories of great personalities, often, remain only in memory and oral tradition instead of being recorded in writing. The biography of Pujya Shastriji Maharaj will present a selfless life of a personality that remained devoted to the quest of knowledge and service of the society, in the written form, he said. Referring to Pujya Shastriji Maharaj’s dictum of welfare of all, the Prime Minister said his vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’ draws inspiration from the greats like Shastriji Maharaj and is based on the philosophy of ‘Sarvjan Hitay and Sarvjan Sukhay’. The Prime Minister said Gurukul tradition of ancient India was embodiment of ‘sarvjan hitay’ as in the Gurukul pupil from all walks of life used to study together. This tradition carries in it the seeds of connecting the grand past and glorious future. This tradition gives religious, cultural and social inspiration to the common people of the country. Shastri ji shaped many lives all over the globe through his gurukul. “His life was not mere preaching or orders but a continuous stream of discipline and tapasaya….and he continues to guide us on the path of duty”, the Prime Minister said. Recalling his personal association with SGVP Gurukul, the Prime Minister noted the elements of modernity in the ancient wisdom of the great institution. Shastriji emphasized adapting ancient wisdom as per the needs of the time and avoiding stagnation, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said that the saints and Bhakti Movement had played a role in laying the foundation of the freedom movement. He said that the Gurukul family may come forward to contribute in the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav and Amrit Kaal. Referring to the uncertainties caused by the pandemic and crises like Ukraine situation, the Prime Minister reiterated the importance of Aatmnirbharta. He asked the Gurukul family to be Vocal for Local. He asked them to make a list of things of everyday use and gauge the extent of dependence on the imported objects. If a thing is available which is made with the sweat of an Indian, that should always be preferred. Similarly, the family can contribute to Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, avoiding single use plastic. He asked them to regularly go out in groups to places like Statue of Unity or local statues for improving cleanliness. He also stressed the need to promote natural farming to protect mother earth from chemical and other damage. The Gurukul can play a major role in this, the Prime Minister said. He concluded by requesting the Gurukul family to celebrate the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav in a novel way following the teachings of Pujya Shastriji Maharaj.","প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী মোদীৰ আহমদাবাদ, গুজৰাটৰ এছজিভিপি গুৰুকুলত ভাৱ বন্দনা পৰৱ উপলক্ষে বাৰ্ত" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-proposal-for-enactment-of-dam-safety-bill-2018/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%87%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%95-%E0%A7%A8/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the proposal for introduction of Dam Safety Bill, 2018 in the Parliament. Benefits: It will help all the States and Union Territories of India to adopt uniform dam safety procedures which shall ensure safety of dams and safeguard benefits from such dams. This shall also help in safeguarding human life, livestock and property. The draft Bill has been finalised after wide consultation with leading Indian experts and international experts. Details: The Bill provides for proper surveillance, inspection, operation and maintenance of all specified dams in the country to ensure their safe functioning. The Bill provides for constitution of a National Committee on Dam Safety which shall evolve dam safety policies and recommend necessary regulations as may be required for the purpose. The Bill provides for establishment of National Dam Safety Authority as a regulatory body which shall discharge functions to implement the policy, guidelines and standards for dam safety in the country. The Bill provides for constitution of a State Committee on Dam Safety by State Government. National Dam Safety Authority It shall maintain liaison with the State Dam Safety Organisations and the owners of dams for standardisation of dam safety related data and practices; It shall provide the technical and managerial assistance to the States and State Dam Safety Organisations; It shall maintain a national level data-base of all dams in the country and the records of major dam failures; It shall examine the cause of any major dam failure; It shall publish and update the standard guidelines and check-lists for the routine inspection and detailed investigations of dams and appurtenances; It shall accord recognition or accreditations to the organisations that can be entrusted with the works of investigation, design or construction of new dams; It will also look into unresolved points of issue between the State Dam Safety Organisation of two states, or between the State Dam Safety Organisation of a State and the owner of a dam in that State, for proper solution; Further, in certain cases, such as dams of one State falling under the territory of another State, the National Authority shall also perform the role of State Dam Safety Organization thereby eliminating potential causes for inter-state conflicts. State Committee on Dam Safety It will ensure proper surveillance, inspection, operation and maintenance of all specified dams in that State and ensure their safe functioning. It further provides that every State shall establish a “State Dam Safety Organisation”, which will be manned by officers from the field dam safety preferably from the areas of dam-designs, hydro-mechanical engineering, hydrology, geo-technical investigation, instrumentation and dam-rehabilitation. Background: There are over 5200 large dams in India and about 450 are under construction. Plus there are thousands of medium and small dams. Due to lack of legal and institutional architecture for dam safety in India, dam safety is an issue of concern. Unsafe dams are a hazard and dam break may cause disasters, leading to huge loss of life and property. The Dam Safety Bill, 2018 address all issues concerning dam safety including regular inspection of dams, Emergency Action Plan, comprehensive dam safety review, adequate repair and maintenance funds for dam safety, Instrumentation and Safety Manuals. It lays onus of dam safety on the dam owner and provides for penal provisions for commission and omission of certain acts.","বান্ধ নিৰাপত্তা বিধেয়ক, ২০১৮ কার্যকৰী কৰাৰ প্রস্তাৱত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-inauguration-foundation-stone-laying-ceremony-of-multiple-projects-in-haldwani/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%9F/,"Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

It’s not a small honor for me. I get attached to the pride of Uttarakhand. Today, development works worth over Rs. 17,000 crore have been either inaugurated or their foundation stone laid here. These projects will provide better connectivity and better health facilities to all the colleagues of Kumaon. I want to share one more good news with you. I have brought one more New Year gift for the people of Haldwani. We are coming up with a 2,000 crore rupee plan for the development of the overall infrastructure of Haldwani city. Haldwani will soon see unprecedented improvement in water, sewerage, road, parking, street lights, etc. Friends, We have emphasized the need to carry out development works at a fast pace to make this decade the decade of Uttarakhand. When I say that this is the decade of Uttarakhand, it is not without reason. There are many reasons. This is my firm belief that the potential of the people of Uttarakhand will make this decade the decade of Uttarakhand. I know the potential of this soil, friends. The growing modern infrastructure, the Char Dham mega project and new railway routes will make this decade the decade of Uttarakhand. New hydro projects and the growing industrial potential will make this decade the decade of Uttarakhand. The development of the tourism sector and the growing attraction for yoga all over the world is about to bring everybody to Uttarakhand. Growing facilities for tourists like Home Stays will make this decade the decade of Uttarakhand. This decade will belong to Uttarakhand in the agriculture sector also with an increase in natural farming and herbal products. The decade of Uttarakhand will be glorious. Today’s projects are connected with all these sectors. I congratulate the people of Uttarakhand very much from this land of Haldwani today. Friends, We all know the might of the Himalayas and the number of rivers that flow from Uttarakhand. Ever since independence, the people here have seen two streams. One stream which wants to keep the mountains deprived of development. And there is another stream which wants to work round the clock for the development of the mountains. The people of the first stream always want you to be deprived of development. They avoided the hard work needed to bring roads, electricity and water to the mountains. So many generations of hundreds of villages left our beloved Uttarakhand and settled somewhere in the absence of good roads and facilities. Today I am satisfied that the people of Uttarakhand and the country have come to know the truth of these people. Today, our government is engaged in taking the country to new heights at a fast pace with the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. Today the foundation stone of the Satellite Center of AIIMS Rishikesh in Udham Singh Nagar district and Jagjivan Ram Government Medical College in Pithoragarh has been laid. These two hospitals will be of great help to the people of the Kumaon and Terai regions. Work is in full swing to start Almora Medical College soon. We are constantly trying to overcome the huge challenges of connectivity in Uttarakhand. Projects worth around 9,000 crore rupees that have been announced today are related to road construction only. Construction of a 1200-km rural road has also started under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. Apart from these roads, 151 bridges will also be constructed. Brothers and sisters, Manas Khand, which is the gateway to Mansarovar, was deprived of roads by those who believed in depriving you of comforts. We not only worked on the Tanakpur-Pithoragarh All Weather Road, but also built the road up to Lipulekh and it is being expanded further. Now when the people have come to know the truth of these people, they have opened a new shop which is to spread rumors. Manufacture the rumor, spread it and keep shouting day and night about it. I am told that these anti-Uttarakhand people are spreading confusion regarding the Tanakpur-Bageshwar railway line here. Friends, The final location survey of the Tanakpur-Bageshwar railway line is a strong basis of this project. It is being undertaken so that work on this rail line can start quickly. I have come here to assure you. Rishikesh- Karnaprayag rail route is under construction and very soon Tanakpur-Bageshwar route will also be constructed. My brothers and sisters of Uttarakhand, these are not just stones of foundation, these are not mere stones; these are the monuments of resolutions which the double engine government will realize. Friends, Uttarakhand has completed two decades of its formation. In these years, you have also seen those running the governments saying – ‘you loot Uttarakhand, but save my government’. These people plundered Uttarakhand with both hands. Those who love Uttarakhand cannot even imagine this. He who loves Kumaon does not leave Kumaon. This is Devbhoomi. Serving the people here, serving Uttarakhand is like serving gods and goddesses. And this is the spirit with which our government is working. I myself am committed in this regard. The inconvenience and deprivation is now being turned into convenience and harmony. They deprived you of basic facilities, whereas we are working day and night to provide 100 percent basic facilities to every class, every region. Brothers and sisters, If there is anyone who has suffered the most from the politics of deprivation, it is our mothers, sisters and our daughters. Mothers and sisters suffered the most due to smoke in the kitchen. Sisters and daughters suffered the most in the absence of toilets. Mothers suffered the most due to water dripping from the raw roof. It is the heart of mothers which get hurt the most when children fall sick and there is no money for treatment, no facilities. Our mothers and sisters had to endure a lot of hardships and time for water. We have tried to eradicate these problems of mother power in the last seven years. Tap water to every household under the Jal Jeevan Mission is one such endeavor. Under this mission, more than five crore families of the country have been given piped water in the last two years. The life of the sisters of 13 districts will be facilitated with the laying of the foundation stone of more than 70 projects. The areas around Haldwani and Jagjitpur will also get enough drinking water. Friends, When we visit a historical site, we are told that this place was built so many years ago, it is so old. But for decades, the situation of the country has been such that when it comes to big projects, what is said here is that this project has been stuck for so many years. This has been a permanent trademark of those who have been in government before. This is the history of the Lakhwar project whose work has started in Uttarakhand today. You think over, my friends and those who are sitting here have been hearing about this project for more than four decades. By now, you would have forgotten what the issue was. This project was first conceived in 1976. It will be almost 50 years now. Today, 46 years later, our government has laid the foundation stone for it. I would like to ask the brothers and sisters of Uttarakhand whether it is a sin or not that the project which was conceived in 1974 is being implemented after 46 years. Is it a sin or not? Should those committing such a sin to be punished or not? Has this delay hurt you or not? Has Uttarakhand suffered or not? Did two generations suffer or not? Will you forget those who commit such sins, or will you fall for their big promises? No country can imagine such a project hanging around in files for nearly five decades. Only promises were made in every election! Brothers and sisters, take a look at my seven-year record. My time is being spent searching and fixing such old stuff. Now that I’m doing the work properly, you should fix those people. Had the people who were in the government earlier any concern about you, would this project be held back for four decades? If they loved you, would this be the plight of this project? The truth is that those who were in the previous governments never cared about the potential of Uttarakhand. As a result, neither did we get enough electricity, nor did the farmers’ fields get irrigated, and most of the rural population of the country had to live without pure piped water. Friends, For the past seven years, India has been protecting its environment and making the best use of its natural potential. The projects that have been launched today will not only strengthen the identity of Uttarakhand as a power surplus state but will also provide adequate irrigation facilities to the farmers. This electricity will be available to our industries, schools and colleges, hospitals and to every family. Friends, The health of Ganga-Yamuna in Uttarakhand affects the health and prosperity of the people here as well as the huge population of the country. Therefore, we are engaged in a mission from Gangotri to Gangasagar. With the construction of toilets, improved sewerage system and modern facilities for water treatment, the number of dirty drains falling into Ganga ji is decreasing rapidly. Even today, sewer line and sewer treatment plants have been inaugurated and the foundation stone laid at Udham Singh Nagar, Ramnagar and Nainital under the Namami Gange scheme. Protection of the beautiful lake of Nainital will now be taken up which no one cared about before. Friends, Tourism cannot flourish anywhere unless there is comfort for tourists. Those who ran the governments earlier did not even think in this direction. The new roads that are being built, the roads that are being widened and new rail routes that are being built will also attract new tourists in Uttarakhand. The ropeways in major places of Uttarakhand will also help bring new tourists. The increasing mobile connectivity and new towers which are being installed in some places will also attract tourists. The medical facilities being developed in Uttarakhand will also increase the confidence of the tourists coming here. And who will benefit the most? The maximum benefit will accrue to the youth of Uttarakhand, the youth of our mountains. The people of Uttarakhand are witness to the fact that the number of devotees visiting Kedarnathji increased after new facilities were launched there. All records were broken. Similarly, the country is seeing a rapid increase in the number of devotees following the construction of the Kashi Vishwanath Dham. There are holy places here like Jageshwar Dham and Bageshwar in Kumaon. Their development will create new possibilities for development in this region. The Central Government has also installed India’s largest optical telescope at Devasthal in Nainital. It has not only provided new facilities to scientists from home and abroad, but created a new identity for this place. Friends, The amount of money that the double engine government is spending on development projects is unprecedented. With the construction of new roads, buildings, houses under the PM Awas Yojana and new rail routes, new possibilities emerge for local industries and for our Uttarakhand entrepreneurs. There would be a trader from Uttarakhand supplying cement, a businessman supplying iron and ballast, or an engineer carrying out the work related to their design. These development schemes are creating many employment opportunities here. The double engine government is standing with full strength with the youth of Uttarakhand who want to do business on their own. Under the Mudra Yojana, affordable loans are being provided to the youth without bank guarantees. Young people who are involved in farming are being helped with the Kisan Credit Cards. Brothers and sisters who run small shops are getting help under the SVANidhi Yojana. Our government has opened the doors of banks for the poor and middle-class youth of Uttarakhand. We are working hard to ensure that they are able to fulfill their dreams without any obstacles coming in their way. There are many possibilities for AYUSH and industries related to aromatic products in Uttarakhand. There is a huge market for it in the country and abroad. Aroma Park of Kashipura will strengthen Uttarakhand, will support the farmers and will provide employment to hundreds of youth. Similarly, the plastic industrial park will also create many employment opportunities. Brothers and sisters, The governments in Delhi and Dehradun are not after power; but dedicated to service. The brave mothers of Kumaon, who have dedicated their children to national security, cannot forget how the previous governments ignored this area despite it being a frontier state. Every aspect from connectivity to national security was ignored. They only made our army and soldiers wait for years. The wait for One Rank One Pension, the wait for modern weapons, the wait for necessary protective armor like bulletproof jackets and also the wait for a strong reply to terrorists! These people were always at the forefront in insulting the army and our brave soldiers. The brave people of Uttarakhand who gave the Kumaon Regiment to the army can never forget this. Friends, Uttarakhand wants to accelerate the pace of rapid development. Your dreams are our resolutions; your will is our motivation, and fulfilling your every need is our responsibility. Your blessings on the double engine government will make this decade the decade of Uttarakhand. Once again, I congratulate all of you and Uttarakhand for the development projects. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. The year 2022 is just round the corner. I wish the people of Uttarakhand a very Happy New Year and also for the Ghughutiya Tyar festival.

Infrastructure creation in India had suffered for decades from multiple issues. There was lack of coordination between different Departments, for example, once a road was constructed, other agencies dug up the constructed road again for activities like laying of underground cables, gas pipelines etc. This not only caused great inconvenience but was also a wasteful expenditure. To address this, efforts were put in place to increase coordination so that all cables, pipelines etc. could be laid simultaneously. Steps have also been taken to address other issues like time-taking approval process, multiplicity of regulatory clearances etc. In the last seven years, the Government has ensured unprecedented focus on infrastructure through a holistic outlook. PM GatiShakti will address the past issues through institutionalizing holistic planning for stakeholders for major infrastructure projects. Instead of planning & designing separately in silos, the projects will be designed and executed with a common vision. It will incorporate the infrastructure schemes of various Ministries and State Governments like Bharatmala, Sagarmala, inland waterways, dry/land ports, UDAN etc. Economic Zones like textile clusters, pharmaceutical clusters, defence corridors, electronic parks, industrial corridors, fishing clusters, agri zones will be covered to improve connectivity & make Indian businesses more competitive. It will also leverage technology extensively including spatial planning tools with ISRO imagery developed by BiSAG-N (Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geoinformatics). PM GatiShakti is based on six pillars: 1. Comprehensiveness: It will include all the existing and planned initiatives of various Ministries and Departments with one centralized portal. Each and every Department will now have visibility of each other’s activities providing critical data while planning & execution of projects in a comprehensive manner. 2. Prioritization: Through this, different Departments will be able to prioritize their projects through cross–sectoral interactions. 3. Optimization: The National Master Plan will assist different ministries in planning for projects after identification of critical gaps. For the transportation of the goods from one place to another, the plan will help in selecting the most optimum route in terms of time and cost. 4. Synchronization: Individual Ministries and Departments often work in silos. There is lack of coordination in planning and implementation of the project resulting in delays. PM GatiShakti will help in synchronizing the activities of each department, as well as of different layers of governance, in a holistic manner by ensuring coordination of work between them. 5. Analytical: The plan will provide the entire data at one place with GIS based spatial planning and analytical tools having 200+ layers, enabling better visibility to the executing agency. 6. Dynamic: All Ministries and Departments will now be able to visualize, review and monitor the progress of cross-sectoral projects, through the GIS platform, as the satellite imagery will give on-ground progress periodically and progress of the projects will be updated on a regular basis on the portal. It will help in identifying the vital interventions for enhancing and updating the master plan. PM GatiShakti is the result of Prime Minister’s constant endeavour to build Next Generation Infrastructure which improves Ease of Living as well as Ease of Doing Business. The multi-modal connectivity will provide integrated and seamless connectivity for movement of people, goods and services from one mode of transport to another. It will facilitate the last mile connectivity of infrastructure and also reduce travel time for people. PM GatiShakti will provide the public and business community information regarding the upcoming connectivity projects, other business hubs, industrial areas and surrounding environment. This will enable the investors to plan their businesses at suitable locations leading to enhanced synergies. It will create multiple employment opportunities and give a boost to the economy. It will improve the global competitiveness of local products by cutting down the logistics costs and improving the supply chains, and also ensure proper linkages for local industry & consumers. Prime Minister will also inaugurate the New Exhibition Complex (Exhibition Halls 2 to 5) at Pragati Maidan during the event. India Trade Promotion Organisation’s flagship event, India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2021 will also be held from November 14-27, 2021 in these new exhibition halls.

These projects will boost infrastructure development, enhance connectivity and give an impetus to ease of living in the region. Governor of Tamil Nadu Shri R. N. Ravi, Chief Minister Shri M K Stalin, Union Minister Shri L Murugan were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister expressed his happiness to be back in Tamil Nadu. “It is always wonderful to be back in Tamil Nadu. This land is special. The people, culture and language of this state are outstanding” he said at the outset. He said that someone or the other from Tamil Nadu is always excelling. He recalled hosting the Deaflympics contingent and said “this time it was India’s best performance in the tournament. Out of the 16 medals we have won, youngsters from Tamil Nadu had a role in 6 of those medals”. Further commenting on rich Tamil culture, the Prime MInister said “the Tamil language is eternal and the Tamil culture is global. From Chennai to Canada, From Madurai to Malaysia, From Namakkal to New York, From Salem to South Africa, The occasions of Pongal and Puthandu are marked with great fervour”. He also informed that recently, at the Cannes Film Festival, son of the great soil of Tamil Nadu and Union Minister Thiru L Murugan walked the Red Carpet in traditional Tamil attire that made the Tamil people all over the world very proud. He said that in the project inaugurated or laid the foundation stones of, a thrust on road connectivity is visible. This is so as it is directly linked to economic prosperity. He said that Bengaluru – Chennai Expressway will connect two major centers and 4 Lane double decker elevated road connecting Chennai Port to Maduravoyal will make Chennai port more efficient and decongest the city. The Prime Minister expressed his happiness that five railway stations are being redeveloped. This modernisation and development is being done keeping in mind the needs of the future. At the same time, it will merge with local art and culture. Madurai-Teni Railway Gauge Conversion Project, he said, will help the farmers as it will give them new markets. The Prime Minister congratulated all those getting houses as a part of the historic Chennai Light House project under the PM-Awas Yojana. “This has been a very satisfying project as we started a global change.. And in record time the first project has been realized and I am glad that it is in Chennai”, he said. The Prime Minister noted that the multi-modal logistic parks will be a paradigm shift in the freight ecosystem of our country. Each of these projects across various sectors will boost job creation and our resolve to be Atma Nirbhar, he said. The Prime Minister said that history has taught us that those nations which gave topmost importance to infrastructure made the transition from developing to developed countries. The Government of India is fully focussed on building infrastructure that is top quality and sustainable, he said referring to both physical and coastal infrastructure. We aim to achieve Garib Kalyan. Our emphasis on social infrastructure indicates our emphasis on the principle of ‘Sarv Jan Hitaya and Sarv Jan Sukhaya’, he said. The Prime Minister said that his Government is working to achieve saturation level coverage for key schemes. Take any sector – toilets, housing, financial inclusion… we are working towards complete coverage. When this is done, there is no scope for exclusion, he added. The Prime Minister remarked that the government has gone beyond what is traditionally referred to as infrastructure. A few years ago, he said, infrastructure referred to roads, power and water. Today we are working to expand India’s gas pipeline network. Work is happening on i-ways. It is our vision to bring high speed internet to every village. The Prime Minister stressed that the Government of India is fully committed to further popularising Tamil language and culture. In January this year, the new campus of Central Institute of Classical Tamil was inaugurated in Chennai. The new campus is fully funded by the Union Government. He added that the ‘Subramania Bharati Chair’ on Tamil Studies at Banaras Hindu University was recently announced. He said that since BHU is located in his constituency, the joy was extra special. The Prime Minister said Sri Lanka is passing through difficult times. I am sure you are concerned with the developments there. As a close friend and neighbour, India is providing all possible support to Sri Lanka. The Prime Minister recalled that he was the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Jaffna.

(b) Incorporation of a new Government company as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the implementation and development of the project with 100% equity from Government through Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. Government of India will provide budgetary support of Rs. 2037.39 crore to the SPV as equity over a period of 3 years to fund trunk infrastructure, a part of Exhibition centre, Foyer, Convention Centre, Metro connectivity, NHAI road connectivity including cost of land to be paid to DDA, water & Sewerage infrastructure, Railway land for Metro Connectivity and expenses towards other Non-PPP components. (c) Mobilization of Rs.1,381 crore from the market as Government guaranteed loan and utilization of Rs. 4,000 crore by way of monetization of Government-owned land and annual project revenue by the SPV. The proceeds from land monetization and annual returns accrued by the SPV will be utilized for funding the non-PPP components of the Project. (d) DMICDC will act as a knowledge partner for the project on payment of an annual fee @1% of the yearly internal accruals, subject to a minimum of Rs. 5 crore and maximum of Rs.10 crore per annum for an initial period of 10 years. (e) Board of the SPV will be authorized to approve revision in detailed cost estimates, break-up of quantities of project components, phasing of the project, change in scope etc. depending upon the requirement at various stages of project, within the overall approved financial limits. SPV would also be authorized to raise debt/ mobilize resources through land monetization depending upon market conditions. Phase-1 of the project comprising trunk infrastructure along with Exhibition cum Convention Centre will be implemented and commissioned by December 2019. These will be implemented as non-PPP component. Phase-2 of the project comprising of the remaining Exhibition area will be implemented by 2025. The components comprising hotels, retail space and offices will be implemented in PPP mode. It is estimated that the proposed ECC facility, once fully operational, will infuse a demand for more than 100 major international and local exhibition events annually. The number of persons visiting the exhibition facility annually (paying visitors) is estimated to be more than 10 million in the first phase (2019-20) and 23 million after completion of the second phase (2025). Similarly, convention based delegate attendance is estimated to cross 1.5 million annually after successful completion of second phase of the project. Project is estimated to generate over five lakh direct and indirect employment opportunities. The job creation will happen in core ECC facilities as well as in supporting ECC land uses like retail, office and hospitality. Background: Conferences and Exhibitions are vital links to connect local manufacturers with global buyers and to serve as a platform for exchange of business ideas. India lacks an integrated world class facility which can meet the requirements of global exhibition-cum convention operators in terms of space, project facilities, transportation linkages, etc. at a large scale. Development of Exhibition-cum-Convention (ECC) Centre at Dwarka accompanied with supporting components, once fully operational is expected to bring New Delhi in the league of Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore in the area of exhibition market.",নতুন দিল্লীৰ দ্বাৰকাত প্ৰদৰ্শনী তথা সভাঘৰৰ উন্নয়নৰ প্ৰস্তাৱত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-kanpur-metro-rail-project/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA/,"Inaugurates the Bina-Panki Multiproduct Pipeline Project “The double engine government of Uttar Pradesh today is trying to make up for the loss of time in the past.

Today we are engaged in providing clean water to every household of UP through the Har Ghar Jal Mission’ The Prime Minister pointed out. The Double Engine Government is working sincerely and with accountability to take Uttar Pradesh to new heights of development. The double engine government knows how to set big goals and how to achieve them. He gave examples of improvement in transmission, electricity situation, cleanliness of cities and rivers. He informed, compared to the mere 2.5 lakh houses for urban poor of the state by 2014, 17 lakh houses have been approved in the last four and half years. Similarly street vendors got Government attention for the first time and through PM Svanidhi Yojna, more than 7 lakh people got more than 700 crore rupees in the state. During the pandemic the government arranged for free ration for more than 15 crore citizens in the state. In 2014 there were just 14 crore LPG connections in the country. Now there are more than 30 crore. In Uttar Pradesh only, 1.60 crore families got new LPG connections. Referring to the improved law and order situation, the Prime Minister mentioned the elimination of the mafia culture by the Yogi Government leading to an increase in investment in UP. In order to promote the culture of business and industry, the government has approved a Mega Leather Cluster in Kanpur and a Fazalganj. Defence Corridor and schemes like One District One Product will benefit entrepreneurs and businessmen of Kanpur, he said. He also said criminals are on a backfoot due to the fear of law.

Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan ji, Ministers and MLAs of the State Government, Panchayat members, other dignitaries and all my brothers and sisters of Madhya Pradesh! First of all, I wish you all a very Happy Dhanteras and Deepawali! During Dhanteras and Deepawali, when we make a new beginning, paint the house in new colours, buy new utensils and add something new, we also make new resolutions. With a new beginning, we fill our lives with freshness and new doors open for happiness and prosperity. Today 4.5 lakh poor sisters and brothers of Madhya Pradesh are making a new beginning. Today ‘Griha Pravesh’ (house warming) ceremony has been organized for all these friends for their new pucca houses. There was a time when only those people could buy big and expensive possessions like cars and houses on Dhanteras, who had the resources and money. But today, even the poor of the country are able to perform ‘Griha Pravesh’ on Dhanteras. My heartiest congratulations to lakhs of sisters of Madhya Pradesh, who have become the owners of their houses today! And now you are ‘lakhpatis’ because of the houses that are worth lakhs of rupees. Brothers & Sisters, I am able to see countless people filled with infinite aspirations in front of me through technology. Earlier these aspirations and dreams did not come to the fore because without a home these feelings would be suppressed, hidden and later withered away. I believe, now that these friends have got these new homes, they have also got new strength to make their dreams come true. Therefore, this day marks not only ‘Griha Pravesh’ but also ushering in happiness, new resolutions, new dreams, new vigour and new fortune. Fortunately for our government, in the last 8 years, we have been able to fulfil the greatest dream of life of 3.5 crore poor families under PM Awas Yojana. And it is not that we built four walls and handed over to them just to fulfil our promise. Our government is dedicated to the poor. So it understands the aspirations and needs of the poor very well. The houses that our government provides also include other facilities like toilets, electricity, water and gas connection. Therefore, these facilities and various schemes of the government make these crores of houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana complete. Friends, While talking to you, I am also reminded of the earlier situation. Earlier even if the house was announced for the poor, they had to build separate toilets on their own. They had to visit different government offices several times to get electricity, water and gas connections. During the regime of previous governments, the poor had to pay bribes to get the entire process done. Moreover, after the houses were announced for the poor, the government used to dictate the type of house that should be built. They would provide the design and tell them where to get the construction materials. Now, a person who is supposed to live in the house has different tastes, likes and dislikes and social traditions. But the poor were not asked about these things. That is why, Griha Pravesh was never possible even in the few houses that were built earlier. But we have given this freedom to the owners of the house. That is why today PM Awas Yojana is becoming a medium of huge socio-economic change. Brothers & Sisters, Often we see that one generation passes on its acquired wealth to the next generation. Due to the wrong policies of our earlier governments, people were compelled to hand over homelessness to the next generation. And the person who used to break this vicious cycle of several generations, was highly praised and glorified. I am fortunate that as a servant of the country, as a son of crores of mothers of the country, I have got a chance to bring my crores of poor families out of this vicious circle. Our government is working day and night to provide pucca houses to every poor. That is why today such a large number of houses are being built. In Madhya Pradesh too, about 30 lakh houses have been built under PM Awas Yojana. At present work is underway for 9-10 lakh more houses. Friends, These lakhs of houses are also creating employment opportunities in every nook and corner of the country. This morning when I was in the programme related to the job fair, I had told them that I was going to attend a house warming ceremony in the evening. Now I am going to tell in detail how employment is associated with it. Friends, You know that when houses are built, the demand for materials related to construction, such as bricks, cement, sand, gravel, steel, paint, electrical items, toilet seats, taps, pipes, increases. When this demand increases, the factories manufacturing these materials employ more people. More people are needed for transporting the goods. More people also get employed in those shops where these goods are sold. And Satna understands this very well. Satna is known for limestone and cement. When houses are built, the demand for Satna’s cement also increases. Workers involved in the construction of houses, masons, carpenters, plumbers, painters, furniture makers also get a lot of work. I am told that more than 50 thousand masons have been trained in Madhya Pradesh itself. Out of these, 9,000-10,000 are our mothers and sisters. They are ‘Raj Mistry’ or master masons. Some people also call them ‘Rani Mistry’ or queen masons. That is, PM Awas Yojana is doing a commendable work of connecting our sisters with new skill and new employment opportunities . Otherwise, in the field of construction, sisters were considered as unskilled labourers. So far in Madhya Pradesh itself, Rs 22 thousand crore has been spent in building these houses. Now you might be thinking where did Rs 22 thousand crores go? Part of the money was used to build houses and part of it was used for different related works, like getting materials from shops and partly was also used in factories. Therefore, these houses are bringing progress to all. Not only the ones who get the houses are progressing but also the entire village where houses are built. Brothers & Sisters, There is a major difference between the earlier governments and us. The previous governments used to harass the poor. They made them visit their offices time and again. Whereas, our government is reaching out to the poor itself and is running a campaign so that the poor get the benefit of every scheme. Today we are talking about saturation, that is, how to deliver the benefits of every public welfare scheme to 100% of the beneficiaries? There is no nepotism or partiality. It is given to every rightful beneficiary. We are working day in and day out to ensure that everyone gets pucca houses, gas-water-electricity connections, free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh under Ayushman Bharat, good roads, good schools, colleges, hospitals and optical fibre network in a short time. Why are we in this hurry? Why are we so impatient for getting these things done? There is a crucial lesson from the past behind this. Every such basic facility was in a limbo for the last several decades. A very large population of the country used to struggle for these basic facilities. They didn’t even have the time to think about other things. Therefore, every promise and every claim of poverty alleviation used to be just politics. They didn’t work for anyone. No matter how passionate the commander might be, if the soldiers do not have the basic tools for fighting, then it is impossible to win the war. That’s why we decided to rapidly connect every citizen of the country with those basic facilities to help them get out of poverty and defeat poverty. Now the poor, being equipped with facilities, are making efforts to come out of poverty rapidly. And this house which you have been given is not just a place to live, eat, drink and sleep in. I would say that your house is like a fort that will not allow poverty to enter. The remaining poverty will also be eradicated. Brothers & Sisters, For the past several months, the central government has been giving free ration to more than 80 crore countrymen so that they do not have to suffer from hunger during the pandemic. For this, the central government has so far spent more than Rs 3 lakh crore on PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. And I want to tell you one more thing. When the taxpayer feels that his money is being spent in the right place and in the right manner, then the taxpayer also feels happy, satisfied and keeps paying more tax. Today, crores of taxpayers of the country feel satisfied with the fact that by paying taxes they are helping feed crores of people during the Corona period. Today, as I am handing over four lakh houses, every taxpayer must be thinking that along with me even my poor brother from Madhya Pradesh is also celebrating Diwali well. Now his daughter’s life will be full of happiness too. But friends, When the same taxpayer sees that freebies are being distributed with the money collected from him, then the taxpayer feels disheartened. Today many such taxpayers are writing letters to me openly. I am glad that a large section of the country is gearing up to rid the country of this ‘Revari’ culture or freebie culture. Friends, The goal of our government, apart from fulfilling the aspirations of the citizens, is also to help the poor and the middle class save money. So far about 4 crore poor patients have availed the benefit of free treatment under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Due to this, these families were able to save thousands of crores of rupees as it was borne by the government. Thousands of crores of rupees were spent by the government on free vaccination during the Corona period so that the poor and the middle class did not have to spend money or take loans as a result of this sudden crisis. First Corona had struck us and then the war in the neighbourhood. Consequently, we are compelled to buy expensive fertilizers from the world today. We are giving a bag of urea which costs more than Rs 2,000 today, for just Rs 266 to the farmers. Bags worth Rs 2000 are given for less than Rs 300! To ensure that the farmers are not burdened, this year the government is spending more than Rs 2 lakh crore for the same. The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi of the Central Government is also proving to be a boon for the farmers. You must have seen that the installment of Rs 16 thousand crore which was transferred a few days back had reached every beneficiary farmer immediately. Right now our government has deposited more than Rs 2 lakh crore in the bank accounts of farmers. And this assistance has reached the farmers just before their sowing time when the farmer needs fertilizers and pesticides. If the farmers sell the crop, the money now comes directly into their bank accounts. MGNREGA money is also directly deposited to the bank accounts. Even when our pregnant mothers are in need of nutritious food, thousands of rupees under the Matru Vandana Yojana reach them directly. Brothers & Sisters, The government is able to accomplish these tasks today because of its spirit of service and dedication to all of you! And no matter how much someone criticizes us, we are moving forward with dedication, your blessings and with political will for the welfare of the poor. That is why today technology is being used on such a large scale. Whatever new technology our scientists and youngsters come up with is being used to make the life of the common man easier. Today, the survey of houses is being done from village to village with drones. Earlier, the work which the Patwari and the Revenue department used to do is now being done by drones or technology. For the first time in the country, maps of village houses are being prepared under the SWAMITVA scheme and certificates of ownership are being given to the villagers so that there are no disputes and illegal possessions of the houses. They can also get loans from banks if needed. Similarly, the use of drones is being emphasized on a large scale in agriculture and the farmers are getting the benefit of drones . A few days back we took a major step for the farmers. The lakhs of fertilizer shops that are present across the country are being developed as Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samridhi Kendras. Now the farmers will get everything they need at one place at these Kisan Kendras. Many agricultural equipment and even drones will be available on rent at these centres in future. A major step has also been taken regarding urea. Now the farmers have been freed from the dilemma of which company to buy the urea from? Now fertilizers will be available under one brand name called ‘Bharat’. The price is also clearly written on it. The farmers do not need to pay more than this price written on it. I am sure that with such efforts, the life of the farmers and the poor will become easier. We will all work towards building a developed India. Once again I congratulate all the beneficiaries of the pucca houses and I can imagine how elated you are! This is your house. Probably the past 3-4 generations have not celebrated Diwali in their own house. Today, when you are celebrating Dhanteras and Deepawali in your own homes with your children, then the brightness of this lamp will illuminate your life. I wish you all the very best! May the blessings of God be on you and this new home should become a reason for new progress! Thanks a lot!",মধ্যপ্ৰদেশৰ পিএমএৱাই-জিৰ ৪.৫ লাখৰো অধিক হিতাধিকাৰীৰ ‘গৃহ প্ৰৱেশ’ৰ সময়ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে আগবঢ়োৱা ভাষণৰলিখিত ৰূ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-tributes-to-freedom-fighter-v-o-chidambaram-pillai-on-his-birth-anniversary/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7-2/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi paid tributes to freedom fighter V.

It includes national rail projects worth more than 1500 crores, National Institute of One Health (NIO), Nagpur and Nag river pollution abatement project, Nagpur. During the programme, the Prime Minister also dedicated ‘Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology (CIPET), Chandrapur’ to the nation and inaugurated ‘Centre for Research, Management and Control of Hemoglobinopathies, Chandrapur’. Earlier today, the Prime Minister flagged off Vande Bharat Express from Nagpur to Bilaspur, dedicated ‘Nagpur Metro Phase I’ to the nation, and laid the foundation stone of ‘Nagpur Metro phase- II’. The Prime Minister also inaugurated Phase – I of Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg which covers a distance of 520 kilometres and connects Nagpur and Shirdi. The Prime Minister also dedicated to the nation, AIIMS Nagpur which is being developed at a cost of more than Rs 1575 crore, is a hospital with state-of-the-art facilities, with OPD, IPD, diagnostic services, Operation theatres and 38 departments covering all major speciality and super speciality subjects of Medical Science. The hospital provides modern healthcare facilities to the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and is a boon to the surrounding tribal areas of Gadchiroli, Gondia and Melghat. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister greeted on the auspicious occasion of Sankashti Chaturthi and hailed Lord Ganpati. The Prime Minister highlighted that this very special day when a bouquet of development works is being launched from Nagpur, Maharashtra will transform the lives of people. “Today a constellation of eleven new stars is rising for the development of Maharashtra which will help in achieving new heights and provide a new direction”, he said. Listing out all the 11 projects the Prime Minister said, “Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samridhi Mahamarg is now ready from Nagpur to Shirdi, AIIMS will benefit the people of Vidarbha, the establishment of National Institute of One Health, ICMR’s research Centre built in Chandrapur, the establishment of CIPT Chandrapur, Various Projects in Nagpur to reduce the pollution of Nag river, the inauguration of Metro Phase I and laying the foundation stone of Phase II, Vande Bharat Express between Nagpur to Bilaspur, the project of redevelopment of ‘Nagpur’ and ‘Ajni’ Railway Station, the inauguration of maintenance depot of 42 thousand horsepower rail engine at Ajni and inauguration of Kohli-Narkhed route of Nagpur-Itarsi line.” The Prime Minister congratulated the people of Maharashtra for these completed and upcoming projects. The Prime Minister highlighted that today’s projects are proof of the pace of work by the double-engine government of Maharashtra. He underlined that Samruddhi Mahamarg is not just reducing the distance between Nagpur and Mumbai but is also linking 24 districts of Maharashtra with modern connectivity. Apart from a boost in employment opportunities, the Prime Minister said that these connectivity projects will benefit the farmers, pilgrims and industries that are situated in the region. Throwing light on the intrinsic planning of these projects, the Prime Minister said that projects that have been inaugurated today paint a picture of the holistic vision of infrastructural development. “Be it AIIMS Nagpur or Samriddhi Mahamarg, be it Vande Bharat Express or the Nagpur Metro, all these projects may differ in their attributes but when put together in the form of a bouquet, the essence of a complete development will reach every citizen”, he said. Highlighting the efforts of the double-engine government, the Prime Minister pointed out that whether it is about healthcare for the common man or wealth creation, be it empowering the farmer or water conservation, it is a first where the government has given a human form to the infrastructure where a human touch is impacting everyone’s life. Giving examples of the holistic vision of infrastructural development, the Prime Minister said, “The Ayushman Bharat scheme which provides free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh to every poor is an example of our social infra, the development of our places of faith from Kashi, Kedarnath, Ujjain to Pandharpur is an example of our cultural infra, the Jan Dhan Yojana, that connects more than 45 crore poor people to the banking system is an example of our financial infrastructure.” He further added that the campaign to open modern hospitals and medical colleges like Nagpur AIIMS is an example of the medical infrastructure. “Infrastructure cannot just cover lifeless roads and flyovers, its expansion is much bigger”, he added. The Prime Minister gave the example of the Gosekhurd Dam whose foundation was laid thirty to thirty-five years ago with an estimated cost of around Rs 400 crore but was never completed. Shri Modi pointed out that the estimated cost of the dam has now increased to Rs 18 thousand crores. He said, “After the formation of the double-engine government in 2017, the work on this dam has been accelerated, and every problem has been resolved.” The Prime Minister was satisfied that this year this dam has been completely filled. The Prime Minister reiterated, “In the Azaadi ka Amrit Kaal, the country is moving forward with the great resolve of a developed India and it can be achieved with the collective strength of the nation. The mantra for building a developed India is the development of the state for the nation’s development.” Learning from experience, the Prime Minister underlined that when development is limited, opportunities also get limited. Furthering his point, the Prime Minister explained that when education was limited to a select few, the talent of the nation could not come to the fore, when few people had access to banks, trade business also remained limited, and when better connectivity was limited to only a few cities, growth was also limited to the same extent. The Prime Minister said that as a result, neither the large population of the country was availing the full benefits of the development nor the real strength of India was coming to the fore. The Prime Minister emphasised that in the last 8 years, both this thinking and approach have changed with the principles of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. Shri Modi remarked, “Those who were deprived earlier have now become priority for the government.” Giving examples of farmer-led development, Shri Modi pointed out that the farmers of Vidarbha have also got the big benefit of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi and it is the government which has linked the facility of Kisan Credit Card by giving priority to the cattle herders. Continuing with the theme of prioritisation of the deprived, the Prime Minister listed steps like easy loans for the vendors and more than 100 Aspirational districts. The Prime Minister informed that more than 100 districts in the country including districts of Marathwada and Vidarbha lagged behind on many parameters of development. “For the last 8 years, we have been working towards transforming these deprived areas into new centres of energy for rapid development”, he said. The Prime Minister also warned everyone about the emergence of the politics of short-cut in India. He warned that political parties are looting the hard-earned taxpayers’ money for political interests and adopting shortcuts with the aim of forming the government by making false promises. The Prime Minister reiterated that at a time when the country is working towards becoming a developed nation in the next 25 years, some political parties want to destroy the economy of India for their own self-interest. The Prime Minister lamented the lost opportunities of not being able to take advantage of the first industrial revolution and lagging behind during the second-third industrial revolution. He reiterated that when it is time for the fourth industrial revolution, India cannot miss it. “No country can run with short-cuts, a permanent solution with a long-term vision is very important for the progress of the country”, Shri Modi remarked. The Prime Minister gave examples of countries like South Korea and Singapore that were once considered poor but managed to change their fate with a boom in infrastructure, and have now become huge centres of economy. He reiterated that the need of the hour is that every penny of the government exchequer is spent on building a bright future for the young generations. The Prime Minister also urged the youngsters and taxpayers of the country to expose selfish political parties that go by the policy of ‘earning less, spending more’. The Prime Minister highlighted the many countries of the world where entire economies collapsed due to such bad policymaking. On the other hand, the Prime Minister expressed delight at the people’s support towards the efforts of sustainable development and sustainable solutions in the country. “The election results in Gujarat are the result of the economic policy of permanent development and permanent solution”, the Prime Minister added. Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Eknath Shinde, Governor of Maharashtra, Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari were those present on occasion among others Background Nagpur Metro In yet another step that will revolutionise urban mobility, the Prime Minister dedicated ‘Nagpur Metro Phase I’ to the nation. He also flagged off two metro trains – from Khapri to Automotive Square (Orange Line) and from Prajapati Nagar to Lokmanya Nagar (Aqua line) – at Khapri Metro Station. Phase I of the Nagpur Metro is developed at a cost of more than Rs 8650 crore. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of Nagpur Metro Phase- II, which will be developed at a cost of more than Rs 6700 crore. Rail projects At Nagpur Railway station, the Prime Minister flagged off Vande Bharat Express that will run between Nagpur and Bilaspur. The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Nagpur Railway Station and Ajni Railway Station, to be redeveloped at a cost of about Rs 590 crore and Rs 360 crore respectively. The Prime Minister dedicated the Government Maintenance Depot, Ajni (Nagpur) and Kohli-Narkher Section of Nagpur- Itarsi Third line project to the Nation. These projects have been developed at a cost of about Rs 110 crore and about Rs 450 crore respectively. Samruddhi Mahamarg The Prime Minister inaugurated Phase – I of Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg, covering a distance of 520 kilometres and connecting Nagpur and Shirdi. Samruddhi Mahamarg or Nagpur-Mumbai Super Communication Expressway project is a major step towards realising the Prime Minister’s vision of improved connectivity and infrastructure across the country. The 701 Km expressway – being built at a cost of about Rs 55,000 crore – is one of India’s longest expressways, passing through Maharashtra’s 10 districts and prominent urban regions of Amravati, Aurangabad and Nashik. The expressway will also help improve the connectivity of adjoining 14 other districts, thus helping in the development of about 24 districts of the state including the regions of Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra. Espousing the Prime Minister’s vision of integrated planning and coordinated implementation of infrastructure connectivity projects under PM Gati Shakti, the Samruddhi Mahamarg will connect to the Delhi Mumbai Expressway, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and tourist locations like Ajanta Ellora Caves, Shirdi, Verul, Lonar, etc. Samruddhi Mahamarg will be a game-changer in providing a major boost to the economic development of Maharashtra. AIIMS Nagpur The Prime Minister’s commitment to strengthening health infrastructure across the country will be strengthened through the dedication of AIIMS Nagpur to the nation. The Hospital, whose foundational stone was also laid by the Prime Minister in July 2017, has been established under the Central sector scheme Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana. AIIMS Nagpur, being developed at a cost of more than Rs 1575 crore, is a hospital with state-of-the-art facilities, with OPD, IPD, diagnostic services, Operation theatres and 38 departments covering all major speciality and super speciality subjects of Medical Science. The hospital provides modern healthcare facilities to the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and is a boon to the surrounding tribal areas of Gadchiroli, Gondia and Melghat. National Institute of One Health, Nagpur The laying of the foundation stone for the National Institute of One Health (NIO), Nagpur by the Prime Minister is a step towards building capacity and infrastructure in the country under the ‘One Health’ approach. ‘One Health’ approach recognises that the health of human beings is connected to the health of animals and the environment. This approach appreciates that most of the contagious diseases affecting humans are zoonotic (animal to human) in nature. The institute – to be established at a cost of more than Rs 110 crore – will collaborate and coordinate with all stakeholders and act as a catalyst to improve the research and capacity building in ‘One Health’ approach across the country. Other projects The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of the project for pollution abatement of river Nag at Nagpur. The project – under National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) – will be operationalised at a cost of more than Rs 1925 crore. The prevalence of Sickle Cell Disease in the Vidarbha region, especially in the tribal population is comparatively high. The disease along with other haemoglobinopathies like thalassemia and HbE causes a significant disease burden in the country. To address this issue, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of the ‘Centre for Research, Management and Control of Haemoglobinopathies, Chandrapur’, in February 2019. The Prime Minister dedicated to the nation, a centre which is envisaged to become a Centre of Excellence for innovative research, technology development, and human resource development, in the field of haemoglobinopathies, in the country. The Prime Minister also dedicated the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology (CIPET), Chandrapur to the Nation. The institute aims to develop skilled human resources to meet the requirements of the polymer & allied industries.","প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে মহাৰাষ্ট্ৰত ৭৫,০০০ কোটি টকাৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰে আৰু প্ৰকল্পসমূহ দেশবাসীলৈ উৎসৰ্গা কৰ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-visit-up-on-3rd-june/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A9-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%88-%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC/,"PM to attend Ground Breaking Ceremony @3.0 of 1406 projects worth more than Rs 80,000 crores in Lucknow PM to address public function at Paraunkh village, Kanpur Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Uttar Pradesh on 3rd June, 2022.

Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Popular Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath ji, my colleague in the Union Cabinet Hardeep Puri ji, Deputy Chief Minister of UP Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya ji, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti ji, Bhanupratap Verma ji, Ministers in UP Government Shri Satish Mahana ji, Neelima Katiyar ji, Ranvendra Pratap ji, Lakhan Singh ji and Ajit Pal ji, all the esteemed MPs and MLAs and people’s representatives present here and my dear brothers and sisters! I salute this land of sages, the land of inspiration of freedom fighters and revolutionaries and to Kanpur which gives energy to the industrial potential of free India. It is Kanpur that has played an important role in forging visionary leadership like Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, Sundar Singh Bhandari and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. And today not only Kanpur but God Varuna also decided to take part in this happiness. Friends, The humor of the people of Kanpur, the Kanpuriya style and their prompt response is beyond comparison. What is written at Thaggu Ke Laddu (Shop)? There is no such relative … (whom we have not cheated). You keep on saying what you have been saying, but I would say that there is no one in Kanpur who has not received affection. Friends, when I used to visit you for organizational works, I used to hear a catchphrase a lot – ‘Jhade Raho kalattar-ganj’!!! Do you express it nowadays or the new generation has forgotten. Friends, Today is Tuesday and another golden chapter is being added in the development of UP today with the blessings of Lord Hanuman ji of Panki. Today Kanpur has got metro connectivity. Kanpur is now also connected to Bina Refinery. This will make petroleum products easily accessible in Kanpur as well as in many districts of UP. Congratulations to all of you and Uttar Pradesh for these two projects! I had a program at IIT Kanpur before I came here. I wanted to witness the spirit of the people of Kanpur, their enthusiasm while travelling on the metro rail for the first time. So I decided to travel by metro and it was a really memorable experience for me. Friends, The people who ran the governments in UP earlier never understood the importance of time. During the period of the 21st century when UP had to make rapid progress, the previous governments lost precious time and important opportunities. The development of UP was not among their priorities and their commitment was not for the people of UP. The double engine government in Uttar Pradesh today is engaged in compensating for the loss of time in the past. We are working at double the speed. Today, the country’s largest international airport is being built in UP. Today, the longest expressway in the country is being built in UP. Today, the country’s first regional rapid transit system is being built in UP. UP is also going to be the hub of the Dedicated Freight Corridor. UP, which was once notorious for its illegal arms gangs, is building a defense corridor for the country’s security. Friends, this is the reason why the people of UP are saying that the difference is clearly visible! This difference is not only in the plans and projects; but also in the working style. The double engine government works day and night to complete the works launched by it. The construction of Kanpur Metro was started in our regime and our government is also launching it. The foundation stone of the Purvanchal Expressway was laid by our government and our government completed it. The foundation stone of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway was laid by our government and we also completed it and dedicated it to the public. I can count many such projects. Whether it is the East or West or this region, we are trying to complete every project in UP on time. This is necessary because when any project is completed on time, the country’s money is used properly and the people of the country also benefit. You tell me, the people of Kanpur had been complaining about traffic jams for years. You used to lose your precious time and money. Now, with the commencement of this nine km line of the first phase, a beginning has been made to address those complaints. It is very commendable that this section has been made operational within two years despite the difficult challenges of Corona. Friends, There was a perception in our country for decades after independence that anything new has to be done in only three or four big cities. Cities other than the major metro cities of the country were left on their own. Those running the governments earlier did not understand the importance of the potential of the people living in these cities and to provide facilities to them. Those who were in the governments earlier did not pay heed to the aspirations of the crores of people living in these cities. Those who are trying to create an atmosphere now had no intention of development. Now our government is also giving priority to the development of such important cities. Efforts are being made to ensure that there is better connectivity for these cities, there are good institutions of higher education, there is no problem of electricity and water and there is a modern sewage system. If I talk about Metro only, the first phase of Kanpur Metro has been inaugurated today. Work on Agra and Meerut Metro is in full swing. Metro service is also proposed in many other cities. Metro is being continuously expanded in Lucknow, Noida and Ghaziabad. The speed at which Metro work is happening in UP is unprecedented. Friends, Listen carefully to the statistics. The total length of the Metro in UP was 9 kilometers before 2014. Between 2014 and 2017, the length of the Metro increased to 18 kilometers. If we add Kanpur Metro, then the length of the Metro in UP is now more than 90 kilometers. You can see the difference between the working style of previous governments and the government of Yogi ji. Therefore, UP says that the difference is clearly visible. Friends, Prior to 2014, only five cities across the country had Metro facilities. That is, the Metro rail was available only in the so-called metro cities. Today Metros are running in five cities of UP alone. Today, work is underway on the Metro rail in 27 cities of the country. Today, poor and middle-class families living in these cities are also getting the facility of Metro rail which was available in select metro cities today. Efforts to raise the living standards of the urban poor have also boosted the confidence of the youth in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. It has gained a lot of momentum in UP after the formation of the double engine government. Friends, No country or state can ever move forward with unbalanced development. For decades, such was the situation in our country that one part was developed while the other was left unattended. It is equally important to address this inequality at the state and society level. Therefore, our government is working on the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. Every section of the society, Dalits, exploited, victims, deprived, backward and tribal communities, is getting equal benefits from the schemes of our government. Our government is paying special attention to people who were never taken care of before. Friends, Even the poor living in the cities have been neglected by the previous governments. Today, for the first time, our government is working for the urban poor with complete sincerity. Let me give you an example. During the 10 years before 2017, only 2.5 lakh pucca houses were built for the urban poor in UP. In the last four-and-a-half years, the UP government has sanctioned more than 17 lakh houses for the urban poor. Of these, 9.5 lakh houses have already been built and work is in full swing for the rest. Brothers and sisters, Many people from our villages come to work in the cities. Many of these people make a living by selling goods on carts. Today, for the first time, our government has taken note of these people. Our government is working in this direction so that they can get easy loans from banks and they also do digital transactions. Many street vendors have benefited from the PM SVANidhi Yojana in Kanpur. More than Rs 700 crore has been given to more than seven lakh such people under the SVANidhi Yojana in UP. Brothers and sisters, It is the responsibility of all of us to understand the needs of the people and to serve them. Keeping in mind the needs of the people of UP, the double engine government is working hard. In the past, piped water was not available to millions of households in UP. Today we are engaged in providing clean water to every household in UP under the Har Ghar Jal mission. In this difficult time of Corona, our government has provided free rations to more than 150 million people of UP. Friends, Those, who were in the governments earlier, used to run the government with the mentality that the lottery has been drawn for five years and rob UP as much as possible. You have seen for yourself how thousands of crores were scammed in the projects started by the previous governments in UP. These people never worked on big goals for UP, never worked with a big vision. They never considered themselves accountable to the people of UP. Today, the double engine government is working with utmost sincerity and full accountability to take UP to a new height of development. The double engine government knows how to set big goals and achieve them. Who would have thought that there could be an improvement in everything from power generation to transmission in UP? People were not bothered if there were power cuts. They knew that there would be power cuts for hours. They took consolation to the fact that there was no electricity to the house next door. Friends, Who would have thought that a huge horrible canal-like Sisamau falling into Gangaji could be closed one day? But this was also done by our double engine government. Kanpur will get a lot of relief after the capacity of BPCL’s Panki Kanpur Depot is increased more than four times. Brothers and sisters, The work that has been done on connectivity and communication, as well as gas and petroleum pipeline infrastructure, has also benefited UP a lot. Till 2014, there were only 140 million LPG gas connections in the country, today there are more than 300 million gas connections. In UP alone, about 16 million poor families have been given new LPG gas connections. Cheaper piped gas connections have also increased nine times in seven years. It has been possible because of the unprecedented expansion of the petroleum network in recent years. Bina-Panki Multi-Product Pipeline will further strengthen this network. Now many districts of UP, including Kanpur, will not have to depend on trucks for products like petrol and diesel from the Bina refinery. With this, the engine of development in UP will continue to get energy non-stop. Friends, The rule of law is most important for industries to flourish and for attracting investment in any state. The previous governments in UP spread the tree of mafia so much that all the industries and businesses collapsed under its shadow. Now the government of Yogi ji has brought back the rule of law and order. As a result, the investment in UP is also increasing and the criminals are going to jail by canceling their bail themselves. The double engine government is now once again promoting industrial culture in UP. Mega Leather Cluster has been approved in Kanpur. A technology center has also been set up in Fazalganj to develop the skills of the youth here. Whether it is the Defence Corridor or One District, One Product scheme, our enterprising colleagues in Kanpur will benefit a lot. Friends, The Central Government is also working continuously to improve the Ease of Doing Business. Steps have been taken in this direction to reduce corporate tax to 15 percent for new entities, to reduce GST rates, to end the web of many laws and to have a faceless assessment. The government has also started giving production linked incentives to promote new sectors. The government has also decriminalized a number of provisions of the Company Law, which added to the problems of our business associates. Brothers and sisters, The parties, whose economic policy is based on corruption, whose policy is to respect the mafias, cannot develop Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, they have a problem with every step that strengthens and empowers society. Therefore, they also oppose the steps taken for women’s empowerment. They protest whether it is a strict law against Triple Talaq, or the issue of equalizing the age of marriage for boys and girls. But looking at the work of Yogi ji’s government, these people claim that all these were done by them. I was wondering if these people will claim that the boxes full of currency notes that have been found recently were their achievement. Friends, The people of Kanpur are well-versed in trade and business. The ‘itar’ (perfume) of corruption, which they had sprinkled all over UP before 2017, has surfaced for everyone to see. They have locks on their mouths now and are not coming forward to claim credit for it. The entire country saw the mountains of currency notes, it is their achievement. This is their reality. The people of UP are watching and understanding everything. Therefore, they are with those who are developing UP and who are taking UP to new heights. Brothers and sisters, best wishes to all of you for this important occasion today and for such a great gift and for this atmosphere which is filled with happiness!! Thank you very much.

Governor of Haryana Shri Bandaru Dattatreya ji, my cabinet colleagues Narendra Singh Tomar ji, Hardeep Singh Puri ji, Rameswar Teli ji, MPs, MLAs, my dear farmer brothers and sisters who are present in large numbers in Panipat, other dignitaries associated with this programme, ladies and gentlemen; Wishing you all a very Happy World Bio-fuel Day! Today’s event is very crucial for the farmers across the country including Panipat, Haryana. This modern ethanol plant in Panipat, which has become a bio-fuel plant, is just a beginning. This plant will also help in reducing pollution in Delhi-NCR and the entire Haryana. I congratulate the people of Haryana, especially the farmer sisters and brothers. Today Haryana deserves heartfelt congratulations for another reason as well. In the Commonwealth Games, Haryana’s sons and daughters have made the country proud by performing brilliantly. They have brought several medals to the country. The energy depicted by the players of Haryana in the field of sports, will now be shown by the farms of Haryana by generating energy. Friends, In a country like ours that worships nature, bio-fuel is a synonym for protecting nature. Our farmer brothers and sisters understand this better. Bio-fuel for us means green fuel or environment saving fuel. The farmer brothers and sisters have been very much aware of this for centuries because you do not allow anything to get wasted in the entire process of sowing seeds to growing crops and then transporting it to the market. Farmers know how to use everything they grow in their fields. The field which grows food for the people also generates fodder for the animals. Most of our farmers know how to make good use of the stubble left behind in the fields after harvest. Stubble is used as animal feed and in many villages, it is also converted into pots. But it is also true that in areas like Haryana, where paddy and wheat are produced more, the stubble could not be fully utilized. Now the farmers here are getting another means of using the stubble and that is with a modern ethanol plant or a bio-fuel plant. The bio-fuel plant of Panipat will also be able to dispose of the stubble without burning. And there will be several other benefits simultaneously. Firstly, Mother Earth will not have to tolerate the pain that was caused to her by stubble burning before. Mother Earth used to burn in that fire but now she will get freedom from that pain. Mother Earth will also like the fact that the stubble will now be used in the right place. Secondly, the new system, the new machines and the new transportation facilities that are coming up for cutting and disposing crop residue as well as these new bio-fuel plants that are being set up, will help generate employment opportunities in all these villages. New opportunities will arise. The field of green jobs will be strengthened. Thirdly, the stubble which used to be a burden for the farmers would now become a means of additional income for them. Fourthly, pollution will be reduced and the contribution of farmers in protecting the environment will increase further. And the fifth benefit would be that the country would also get an alternative fuel. That is, the stubble which used to cause damage earlier will now produce these five nectars. I am glad that the work is underway to set up many such bio-fuel plants in different parts of the country. Friends, People who have a tendency to avoid problems by adopting short-cuts for political gains can never solve the problems permanently. Those adopting short-cuts may get accolades for a short while and also gain political brownie points, but the problem does not subside. That’s why I say that adopting short-cuts leads to short-circuit. So, instead of following short-cuts, our government is engaged in finding permanent solutions to the problems. A lot has been said about the problems of stubble burning over the years. But the people using short-cuts could not give a solution to this. We understand the problems of the farmers regarding stubble. So, we are also giving them easy options to get rid of it. We have provided financial assistance to the Farmer Producer Organizations or FPOs for the disposal of stubble. Up to 80 percent subsidy was also given for the purchase of modern machines related to it. Now this bio-fuel plant in Panipat is also going to help in providing a permanent solution to the problem of stubble. In this modern plant, apart from paddy and wheat stubble, the crop residue from maize, sugarcane bagasse and rotten grains will also be used to produce ethanol. That is, the farmers will be free from this big problem. Our food producers who used to burn stubble under compulsion and were maligned because of this, will now feel proud of the fact that they are also helping in the production of ethanol or bio-fuel and in nation building. The government has started another scheme, the Gobardhan scheme, to dispose of the cow dung from cows and buffaloes as well as the waste that comes out of the fields. Gobar Dhan Yojana is also becoming another medium of increasing the income of the farmers. Friends, Be it fertilizers, chemicals, edible oil, crude oil or gas, we have been heavily dependent on foreign countries for these products for the last several decades since independence. Therefore, as soon as the supply chain used to get disrupted due to global conditions, India too could not escape the repercussions. For the last 8 years, the country is also working on coming up with permanent solutions to these challenges. New fertilizer plants are being set up in the country, nano fertilizers are being produced and new missions have also started for edible oil. In the near future, all these initiatives will lead the country towards a permanent solution to these problems. Friends, In the ‘Azadi Ka Amritkaal’, the country is moving fast towards realizing the resolve of a self-reliant India. Our villages and farmers are the greatest examples of self-reliance. Farmers get their necessities to a large extent from their villages itself. The socio-economic system of the village is such that everyone comes together to fulfil each other’s needs. This is the reason why the culture of savings is also very strong among the people of the villages. This culture is also saving the money of the country. In the last 7-8 years, about 50 thousand crore rupees of the country have been saved from going abroad as a result of ethanol blending in petrol. And about the same money has gone to the farmers of our country because of ethanol blending. That is, the money which used to go abroad has in a way been received by our farmers. Friends, Another great change has taken place within the new India of the 21st century. Today the country is making big resolutions and also fulfilling them. A few years ago, the country had set a target of blending up to 10 per cent ethanol in petrol. With the help of our farmer brothers and sisters, the country has achieved this target ahead of time. Eight years ago, the production of ethanol in our country was only around 40 crore litres. Today, about 400 crore litres of ethanol is being produced. The raw material for producing ethanol in such large quantities comes from the fields of our farmers. The sugarcane farmers in particular have benefited a lot from this initiative. Let me give another example to my farmer brothers and sisters of how the country is achieving major goals. Till 2014, there were only around 14 crore LPG gas connections in the country. Half of the country’s population, our mothers and sisters, were left to suffer in the kitchen smoke. The harm caused to their health and the inconvenience of sisters and daughters were not taken care of earlier. I am glad that today more than 9 crore gas connections have been given to poor sisters with the Ujjwala scheme itself. Now we have almost reached 100% LPG coverage in the country. There are about 31 crore gas connections in the country today, increasing from 14 crores. This has benefitted the poor families and the middle class to a great extent. Friends, Work is also going on at a rapid pace to expand the CNG network in the country and to provide affordable piped gas to every household. CNG stations were started in our country in the 90s. Till 8 years back, there were less than 800 CNG stations in the country. Piped gas connections in homes were only a few lakhs. Today there are more than 4500 CNG stations across the country and the figure of piped gas connections is touching 1 crore. Today, as we are completing 75 years of independence, the country is also working on the goal of covering more than 75 per cent of the households in the country with piped gas in the next few years. Friends, Our young generation will be benefitted the most with the hundreds of kilometres long gas pipelines that we are laying down as well as the modern plants and factories that we are setting up today. New opportunities for Green Jobs will be created continuously in the country and employment opportunities will increase. Today’s challenges will not trouble our future generations. This is true development. This is true commitment towards development. Friends, If there is selfishness in politics, then anyone can come and announce the giving away of free petrol and diesel. Such steps will take away the rights from our children and will prevent the country from becoming self-reliant. Due to such selfish policies, the burden of honest tax payers of the country will also increase. Those who make such announcements for their political interests will never invest in new technologies. They will make false promises to the farmers, but will not set up plants like ethanol plants to increase the income of the farmers. They will make shallow promises on controlling air pollution, but will run away from taking the necessary actions to stop it. My dear brothers and sisters, This is not a policy but imprudence. This has nothing to do with national interest but everything to do with harming the national interest. This is not nation building, it is an attempt to push the nation back. To deal with the challenges that the country is facing, it needs a clear intention, sincerity and a policy. For this, a lot of hard work is needed and the government has to invest a lot of money. If the governments do not have money, then even these ethanol plants, biogas plants, big solar plants, hydrogen gas plants which are being installed today will also be shut down. We must remember that whether we are there or not, this nation will always be there. It has survived for centuries and will continue to live for centuries. The children living in this nation will always be there. We do not have the right to ruin the future of our upcoming generations. Friends, Those who had sacrificed their lives for freedom had also worked in this eternal spirit. If they too had thought of themselves, if they had been selfish, then there wouldn’t have been any trouble in their lives too. They would have escaped from hardships, bullets, gallows, tortures, but their children, that is, we the people of India, would not have been able to celebrate the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ today. This month of August is the month of revolution. Therefore, as a country, we have to take a pledge to not allow any such trend to grow. This is a collective responsibility of the country. Friends, In this ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, when the country is painted in the colours of the tricolour and independence, an incident has come to the forefront. I want to draw the nation’s attention towards it. An attempt has been made to disgrace this holy occasion and to disparage our brave freedom fighters. It is important to understand the mentality of such people. We know that sometimes a patient gets tired of the treatment of his long-term illness when he does not get any benefit despite consulting good doctors. Then no matter how educated he is, superstition starts growing in him. He starts using sorcery and starts believing in black magic. Similarly, there are some people in our country who are trapped in the vortex of negativity and are immersed in despair. Even after telling heaps of lies against the government, the public was not ready to trust such people. In such desperation, these people are also now apparently turning towards black magic. We have seen on 5th August how a lot of effort was made to spread black magic. These people believe that by wearing black clothes, their period of despair and frustration will end. But they don’t know that no matter how much black magic or superstition they might use, the public will never trust them again. And I would also say that with such actions, don’t try to insult the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ or the tricolour. Friends, Unlike the selfish policies of some political parties, our government will continue to work on the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath- Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. I am sure that the energy of positive beliefs about development will continue to be generated like this. Once again, congratulations to the crores of friends, farmers and livestock rearers of Haryana. Tomorrow is the sacred festival of Raksha Bandhan. On this festival that symbolises the affection of a brother and a sister, every brother reiterates his resolve to perform his duty. Tomorrow as a citizen, we too must reiterate our resolve to fulfil our duty towards the country. With this wish I end my speech. Thanks a lot!",পানিপথত ২জি ইথানল প্লাণ্টৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-mou-between-india-and-turkmenistan-on-cooperation-in-the-field-of-disaster-management/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%97-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India and Turkmenistan on Cooperation in the field of Disaster Management.

I am delighted to be here in Kanyakumari. I begin by paying homage to respected Amma, Jayalalithaa Ji. Her good work for the people of Tamil Nadu will be remembered for generations. I am happy that the Tamil Nadu government is working hard to fulfill her development vision. I am proud that India’s first woman Defence Minister Nirmala Ji is from Tamil Nadu. Every Indian is proud that the brave Wing Commander Abhinandan belongs to Tamil Nadu. I would also like to congratulate the Vivekananda Kendra on being conferred the Gandhi Peace Prize a few days ago. The community service efforts of the Kendra are commendable and inspiring. Friends. A short while ago, we inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for several development works related to roads, railways and highways. I have flagged off the fastest train, Tejas between Madurai and Chennai. This is one of the most modern trains and is a great example of ‘Make in India’ having been manufactured in the Integral Coach Factory of Chennai itself. The foundation stone of a railway line between Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi has also been laid today. This line got damaged after the disaster of 1964 but for over fifty years, no attention was paid to this line. But, better late than never! You would be happy that the new Pamban rail bridge is going to be constructed now. Friends. Today India is the fastest growing large economy in the world. India is creating next generation infrastructure at a record pace. We are among the nations with the largest start-up eco-system. India is also home to the largest healthcare programme in the world- Ayushman Bharat. Friends. India of the 21st century has to work with speed and scale, which is what the NDA Government is doing. Just last Sunday, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi that was announced in this year’s Budget was launched. Under this scheme, farmers having up to five acres of land would be given a monetary support of six thousand rupees per year from the Central Government in three instalments. Over 1.1 crore farmers have already got their first instalment directly in their bank accounts. Can you imagine, a scheme announced on first February has become a reality in the same month itself. We worked twenty-four hours non-stop to ensure the scheme is rolled out in twenty-four days. Friends. Like leap years and Football world cups come once in four years, incomplete loan waivers of the Congress come just before an election. After doing nothing for farmers, they will come at the end and say- we will waive off your loans. In reality, Congress loan waivers benefit few farmers. NDA government’s Kisan Samman Nidhi is not a once in a few years scheme. Benefits will be given every year and in ten years, about 7.5 lakh crore rupees would have gone to hard-working farmers. When a government works with speed and scale, it clearly shows. Friends. The great sage Tiruvalluvar said “When the rare chance comes, seize it to do the rare deed.” In 2014, it was after thirty years that a Party got a full majority in the Parliament. The people’s message was clear- they wanted a Government that takes the lead in taking and bold and tough decisions. People wanted honesty, not dynasty. People wanted development, not decay. People wanted progress, not policy paralysis. People wanted opportunities, not obstacles. People wanted security, not stagnation People wanted inclusive growth, not votebank politics. Guided by ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ and with the active participation of 130 crore Indians, the NDA government has undertaken some of the most historic decisions in national interest. Let me give you a few local and national examples. Tamil Nadu is a coastal state, where the fisheries sector is vibrant. Several of our fishermen brothers and sisters work hard to earn their living. It is the NDA government that has had the honour of creating a new department for fisheries. Previous governments came to take your votes but when it came to doing work for fishermen, they had nothing much to show. The benefits of Kisan Credit Card have also been launched for our fishermen and women. The Centre has released over Rupees three hundred crores towards construction of Deep Sea Fishing Vessels in Tamil Nadu. Fishermen in the sea get help from space. We have provided Navic devices developed with the help of Indian Space Research Organization. This device provides information in local language. This navigation device not only provides details of fishing zones but also provides weather related warnings to the fishermen. Friends. We understand that if we want to increase the income of Fishermen brothers and sisters, then we have to develop infrastructure associated with fisheries. The construction works of Mukayur Fishing Harbour in Ramanathapuram district and Pumpuhar Fishing Harbour in Nagapattinam are almost completed. Friends. The Government of India is most sensitive to the safety and well-being of fishermen. Due to sustained diplomatic efforts, since May 2014, more than nineteen hundred fishermen have been released by Sri Lankan authorities. Friends. NDA government has put renewed focus on our coastal areas, with stress on connectivity and prosperity. Going a step ahead of port development, we are working on port-led development. More ports are being created. The capacity and efficiency of existing ports are being improved. The Sagarmala project is also a part of our vision. Work is being carried out on this project keeping in view the needs of not only the present but also future generations. Friends. Let me also talk about defence and security. With the blessings of our ex-servicemen, we took the historic decision of making One Rank One Pension a reality. It was the right thing to do. Those who ruled the nation for so many years never even bothered to think about OROP properly. Friends. India has been facing the menace of terrorism for years. But, there is a big difference now- India will no longer be helpless in the wake of terror. From 2004 to 2014 there were several terror attacks. There were blasts in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and other places. The nation expected those responsible for these acts of terror to be punished but nothing happened. 26/11 happened, India expected action against terrorists but nothing happened. But, when Uri happened you saw what our brave soldiers did. Pulwama happened and you saw what our brave air warriors did. I salute all those who are serving the nation. Their vigilance keeps our nation secure. There was a time when the news reports would read- Air Force wanted to do surgical strike after 26/11 but UPA blocked it. And today, we are in an era where the news reads- Armed forces have full freedom to do what they want. Influence of terrorists and terrorism has been curtailed and it is going to be curtailed even more. This is a New India. This is an India that will return the damage done by terrorists with interest. Friends. The events of the past few days have demonstrated yet again the strength of our armed forces. It has also brought our nation closer. The way the nation has supported our armed forces is extra-ordinary and I bow to every Indian for that. Sadly, a few political parties, guided by Modi hatred have started hating India. No wonder, while the entire nation supports our armed forces, they suspect the armed forces. The world is supporting India’s fight against terror but a few parties suspect our fight against terror. These are the same people whose statements are helping Pakistan and harming India. They are the same people whose statements are being happily quoted in the Parliament of Pakistan and in the radio of Pakistan. I want to ask them- do you support our armed forces or suspect them? They should clarify- Do they believe our armed forces or they believe those forces who support terrorism on our soil? I want to tell these parties- Modi will come and go, India will remain. Please stop weakening India to strengthen your own politics. In matters of defence and national security, we are Indians first and Indians only. Your politics can wait, it is the safety of our nation that is at stake. Friends. Let us talk about corruption and black money. India has seen Prime Ministers who said- out of every Rupee, only fifteen paisa reaches the poor. India has seen arrogant Cabinet Ministers who say, ‘Zero Loss’ to a scam worth lakhs of crores. Some people say corruption as a way of life. This would be acceptable to them but not to me. The NDA government has taken historic steps against corruption. Fake companies have been shut, fake beneficiaries removed. The corrupt now have to answer for their misdeeds. The famous re-counting minister, who took pride in treating people badly, insulting the middle class, he has to now apply for a family pack for bail just like his party’s First Family. Friends. While we have come down heavily on corruption, we are at the same time rewarding the honest tax-payers. During the budget exactly a month ago, it was announced that those earning upto Rupees Five Lakhs would not pay income tax! Did those who ruled India for such long years think about the middle class or to give them tax relief? Friends. For many years, the Congress promoted an economic culture that benefitted only the friends and family members of big dynasties. The common man had no incentive or ability to economically prosper. If there was someone who spoke out against the economic culture of the Congress it was the son of Tamil Nadu, C. Rajagopalachari. Today we are fulfilling the dreams of Rajaji by creating an economy that is reform oriented and people-friendly. India’s ranking for ‘Ease of Doing Business’ has come risen by 65 places. We are now placed 77th while we were placed 142 four years ago. Central Government announced a series of benefits for the MSME sector last year. Now, it is possible to get a loan up to Rupees one crore in 59 minutes! That is faster than the time you will take to reach Chennai. Friends. We are betting on India’s youth and their talent. That is why, the Mudra Yojana was launched to give wings to the spirit of enterprise of young India. Under Mudra, 15 crore people have got loans totaling worth over Rupees seven lakh crore. Tamil Nadu is one of the top states under this scheme. Friends. The Opposition has no commitment to social justice. The worse atrocities against Dalits have happened under Congress rule. Congress got Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar defeated not once but twice. Congress did not give a Bharat Ratna to Dr. Ambedkar for forty years and nor did Congress put Dr. Ambedkar’s portrait in Central Hall of Parliament. It was a BJP supported non-Congress Government that did both these things. Friends. The current NDA government has made the strongest amendments to the SC ST Act. Economic and social justice are articles of faith for us, not slogans to win votes. Friends. The 2019 Lok Sabha elections have two distinct sides. Our side offers strength and stability. The other side offers weakness and vulnerability. Our leadership and work culture is known across India. The other side is a confused. They have no name to offer as the nation’s next leader. No aim or vision for India’s growth. And no shame that prevents them from doing record corruption. India remembers 2009, and how the DMK and Congress allotted portfolios after the elections. Ministers were being picked not by the Prime Minister but by those who had nothing to do with public service. There was telephone bargaining for minister posts. The Maha Milaawat or adulteration government will remain hostage to individual egos and dynastic ambitions. My only family is 130 crore Indians. I will live for them, I will die for them. I am not in public life to further a dynasty. I am here to do whatever I can for the growth of India. I seek your support and blessings to create an India where the dreams of the poorest of the poor are fulfilled. Thank you for joining the rally in such large numbers.

Concerned Union Ministers, key stakeholders from education, skill development, science, technology and research were present on the occasion. The webinar was part of the new practice of discussion and dialogue with the stakeholders before and after the budget. The Prime Minister started by emphasizing the importance of the young generation in the process of nation building. He said “Empowering our youth who are future nation builder, is empowering India’s future”. The Prime Minister elaborated on five aspects that were highlighted in the Budget 2022. Firstly, Key decisions have been taken for universalization of quality education i.e expansion of education with improved quality along with enhanced capabilities of the education sector. Secondly, attention has been given to skill development. Focus is on creating a digital skill ecosystem, skill development as per industry demand and better industry linkages. Thirdly, inclusion of India’s ancient experience and knowledge of urban planning and designing into education is important. Fourthly, Internationalization has been emphasized. This involves arrival of world class foreign universities and encouragement of institutions of GIFT City getting Fintech related institutes. Fifth, focus on Animation Visual Effects Gaming Comic (AGVC) where there is huge potential of employment and there is a big global market. “This budget will help a great deal in realizing the National Education Policy”, he said. The Prime Minister mentioned that it was digital connectivity that kept the country’s education system going during the pandemic. He noted the decreasing digital divide in India. “Innovation is ensuring inclusion in our country. Now going even further, country is moving towards integration”, he said. He stressed that measures like e-Vidya, One Class One Channel, digital labs, digital universities are creating an educational infrastructure which will go a long way in helping the youth of the country. “This is an attempt to provide better education solutions to villages, poor, Dalits, backwards and tribal people in the country’s socio-economic set up”, he added. In the recently announced National Digital University, the Prime Minister saw an innovative and unprecedented step that has the potential of fully addressing the problem of seats in the universities. He called upon Education Ministry, UGC and AICTE and all the stakeholders of the Digital University to work with speed on the project. He emphasized the need to keep international standards in mind while creating institutes. On the International Mother Language Day today, the Prime Minister underlined the link between education in the medium of mother language and the mental development of children. He informed that in many states medical and technical education is also being imparted in the local languages. The Prime Minister called for momentum in creating best content in digital format in local Indian languages. He emphasized that such content needs to be available via Internet, Mobile phones, TV and radio. He reiterated the requirement to keep the work with regard to content in sign languages going with due priority. The Prime Minister said “dynamic skilling is critical from the point of view of global talent demand for Aatmnirbhar Bharat.” He highlighted the need to prepare the ‘demographic dividend’ of the country as per the demands of the changing job roles. Digital Ecosystem for skilling and Livelihood and e-Skilling labs were announced in the budget with this vison in mind, he said. In conclusion, the Prime Minister explained how recent changes in the budgetary process are turning budget as a tool of transformation. He asked the stakeholders to implement the budget provisions seamlessly on the ground. He said that by advancing budget by one month in recent times, it is being ensured that when it is implemented from first April, all preparation and discussion is already undertaken. He asked the stakeholders to ensure optimum outcome from the budget provisions. “In the context of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and National Education, this is the first budget, which we want to implement quickly for laying down the foundation of the Amrit Kaal”, he continued “budget is not just an account of statistics, budget, if implemented properly, can bring great transformation even with limited resources”, he concluded.",শিক্ষা আৰু দক্ষতাৰ ক্ষেত্রত ২০২২ৰ কেন্দ্রীয় বাজেটৰ ইতিবাচক প্রভাবক লৈ এখন ৱেবিনাৰত প্রধানমন্ত্রীৰ ভাষ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-modern-food-processing-facilities-in-anand/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%B8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, inaugurated modern food processing facilities, including Amul’s ultra-modern Chocolate Plant, at Anand today.

A total outlay of ₹750 Crore has been envisaged for the scheme. Prime Minister will also launch ‘Indiastack.global’ – a global repository of key projects implemented under India Stack like Aadhaar, UPI, Digilocker, CowiN Vaccination Platform, Government e MarketPlace (GeM), DIKSHA Platform and Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission. This offering of India to the Global Public Digital Goods repository will help position India as the leader of building Digital Transformation projects at population scale, and prove to be of immense help to other countries which are looking for such technology solutions. Prime Minister will dedicate to the citizens ‘MyScheme’ – a service discovery platform facilitating access to Government Schemes. It aims to offer a one-stop search and discovery portal where users can find schemes that they are eligible for. He will also dedicate to the citizens ‘Meri Pehchaan’- National Single Sign On for One Citizen Login. National Single Sign-On (NSSO) is a user authentication service in which a single set of credentials provide access to multiple online applications or services. Prime Minister will also announce the first cohort of 30 Institutions to be supported under the Chips to Startup (C2S) Programme. The C2S Programme aims to train specialized manpower in the area of design of semiconductor chips at Bachelors, Masters and Research level, and act as a catalyst for growth of Start-ups involved in semiconductor design in the country. It offers mentoring at organisational level and makes available State-of-the-art facilities for design to the institutions. This is part of the India Semiconductor Mission to build a strong design ecosystem in semiconductors. Digital India Week 2022 will have physical events from 4th to 6th July in Gandhinagar. The programme will celebrate the anniversary of Digital India and demonstrate how public digital platforms like Aadhaar, UPI, Cowin, Digilocker etc. have enabled ease of living for citizens. It will showcase India’s technological prowess to the global audience, explore collaboration and business opportunities with a wide range of stakeholders, and present the Techade of opportunities for NextGen. It will witness participation of Startups and leaders from Government, Industry & Academia. A Digital Mela is also being organised with over 200 stalls that will showcase digital solutions enabling ease of living and also the solutions that have been developed by Indian Unicorns and Startups. Digital India Week will also have India Stack Knowledge Exchange in virtual mode from 7th to 9th July.",৪ জুলাইত ভীমাৱৰাম আৰু গান্ধীনগৰ ভ্ৰমণ কৰিব প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-agreement-between-india-and-uzbekistan-on-cooperation-in-the-field-of-agriculture-and-allied-sectors/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE-3/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the signing of an Agreement between India and Uzbekistan for cooperation in the field of agriculture and allied sectors.

Even a single life lost is one too many. So, we will not rest till terrorism is uprooted” “There is no good terrorism and bad terrorism. It is an attack on humanity, freedom and civilisation. It knows no boundaries” “Only a uniform, unified and zero-tolerance approach can defeat terrorism” “There must be a cost imposed upon countries that support terrorism” “There is a need for a uniform understanding of new finance technologies” “Anyone who supports radicalisation should have no place in any country” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has strongly asked for avoiding any ambiguity in dealing with terrorism and also warned against nations that use terrorism as a tool of foreign policy. He was addressing the third ‘No Money for Terror’ (NMFT) Ministerial Conference on Counter-Terrorism Financing in New Delhi today. Welcoming the gathering, the Prime Minister marked the significance of the conference taking place in India and recalled when the nation saw the dark face of terror long before the world took serious note of it. “Over the decades,” the Prime Minister said, “terrorism, in different names and forms, tried to hurt India.” He added that even though thousands of precious lives were lost, India fought terrorism bravely. The Prime Minister highlighted that it is an opportunity for all the delegates to interact with India and its people who have been firm in tackling terror. “We consider that even a single attack is one too many. Even a single life lost is one too many. So, we will not rest till terrorism is uprooted”, the Prime Minister exclaimed. Highlighting the importance of this conference, the Prime Minister said that it should not be seen just as a gathering of ministers as terrorism impacts entire humanity. He said that the long-term impact of terrorism is particularly hard on the poor and on the local economy. “Be it tourism or trade, nobody likes an area that is constantly under threat”, Shri Modi remarked. He further added that the livelihoods of people are snatched away as a result of terrorism. He pointed out that it is all the more important that we strike at the root of terror financing. The Prime Minister warned against any ambiguity in tackling terrorism. He touched upon the mistaken notions of terrorism and said “the intensity of the reaction to different attacks cannot vary based on where it happens. All terrorist attacks deserve equal outrage and action. Further, sometimes, there are indirect arguments made in support of terrorism to block action against terrorists. He underlined that there is no place for an ambiguous approach while dealing with a global threat. “There is no good terrorism and bad terrorism. It is an attack on humanity, freedom and civilisation. It knows no boundaries”, the Prime Minister emphasised, “Only a uniform, unified and zero-tolerance approach can defeat terrorism.” Throwing light on the difference between fighting a terrorist and fighting terrorism, the Prime Minister said that a terrorist may be neutralised with weapons and immediate tactical responses but these tactical gains will soon be lost without a larger strategy aimed at hurting their finances. Shri Modi said, “A terrorist is an individual but terrorism is about a network of individuals.” The Prime Minister underlined that attack is the best form of defence and uprooting terrorism needs a larger, proactive, systemic response. He emphasised that we must pursue terrorists, break their support networks and hit their finances for our citizens to be safe. The Prime Minister highlighted state support as one of the major sources of political, ideological and financial support to terrorism. Certain countries support terrorists as part of their foreign policy, he said. He also asked International organisations to be vigilant about proxy wars. “There must be a cost imposed upon countries that support terrorism. Organisations and individuals that try to create sympathy for terrorists must also be isolated. There can be no ifs and buts entertained in such matters. The world needs to unite against all kinds of overt and covert backing of terror”, he added. The Prime Minister underlined organised crime as another source of terror funding and emphasised deep links between the criminal gangs and terrorist outfits “action against organised crime is extremely important in the fight against terror. At times, even activities like money laundering and financial crimes have been known to help terror funding. Fighting it needs global collaboration”, he said. Highlighting the complex environment, the Prime Minister stressed that the United Nations Security Council, Financial Action Task Force, Financial Intelligence Units, and the Egmont Group, are boosting cooperation in the prevention, detection and prosecution of illegal fund flow. The Prime Minister highlighted that the framework is helping the war against terror in multiple ways over the past two decades. “This also helps in understanding terror funding risks” he added. Commenting on the changing dynamics of terrorism in light of advancing technology, the Prime Minister said “new kinds of technology are being used for terror financing and recruitment. Challenges from the dark net, private currencies and more are emerging. There is a need for a uniform understanding of new finance technologies. It is also important to involve the private sector in these efforts.” However, he also warned against demonising technology while asking for technology to be used for tracking, tracing and tackling terrorism. Stressing the need for physical and virtual cooperation, the Prime Minister said that the infrastructure used for cyber terrorism and online radicalisation is distributed while some entities also train the terrorists with weapons from remote locations as well as online resources. “Communications, travel, logistics – there are many links of the chain in different countries.” The Prime Minister urged each country to act against those parts of the chain that are within their reach. The Prime Minister alerted that terrorists should not be allowed to misuse differences in legal principles, procedures and processes in different countries. “This can be prevented through deeper coordination and understanding between governments. Joint operations, intelligence coordination and extradition help the fight against terror”, the Prime Minister suggested. The Prime Minister stressed the need to jointly address the problem of radicalisation and extremism. “Anyone who supports radicalisation should have no place in any country”, he added. The Prime Minister concluded by informing about recent efforts made by India to boost international cooperation against terrorism. Informing about the different conferences on various dimensions of security, the Prime Minister mentioned the General Assembly of the Interpol in New Delhi, a special session of the United Nations Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee that happened in Mumbai. He further said that India is helping build global momentum against terror funding through the ongoing ‘No Money For Terror’ Conference. Union Home Minister, Shri Amit Shah, Minister of State for Home Affairs, Shri Nityanand Rai, Home Secretary, Shri Ajay Kumar Bhalla, and Director General of National Investigation Agency, Shri Dinkar Gupta were those present on the occasion. Background The two-day conference organised on 18th-19th November will offer a unique platform for participating nations and organisations to deliberate on the effectiveness of the current international regime on Counter Terrorism Financing and the steps required to address emerging challenges. The conference will build on gains and learnings of the previous two conferences (held in Paris in April 2018 and in Melbourne in November 2019) and will work towards enhancing global cooperation to deny finances to terrorists and access to permissive jurisdictions to operate. It will be attended by about 450 delegates from across the world, including Ministers, Heads of Multilateral organisations and Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Heads of Delegations. During the Conference, deliberations will be held in four sessions which will focus on ‘Global Trends in Terrorism and Terrorist Financing’, ‘Use of Formal and Informal Channels of Funds for Terrorism’, ‘Emerging Technologies and Terrorist Financing’ and ‘International Co-operation to Address Challenges in Combating Terrorist Financing’.",নতুন দিল্লীত সন্ত্ৰাসবাদ বিৰোধী বিত্তীয় সাহায্য সম্পৰ্কীয় তৃতীয় “ন’ মানি ফৰ টেৰ’ৰ” শীৰ্ষক মন্ত্ৰীপৰ্যায়ৰ সন্মিলনত অংশগ্ৰহণ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-message-on-himachal-day/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D/,"“People of Himachal Pradesh have converted challenges into opportunities” “The ‘double engine government’ has taken the initiative of expanding rural roads, highway widening, railway network and results are now visible” “Honest leadership, peace loving environment, blessings of gods & goddesses and people of Himachal who work hard, all these are incomparable.

He reiterated the commitment to take the nectar of development to every inhabitant of the state during the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. Striking a personal note, the Prime Minister quoted a poem by Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee and remembered his own long association with the beautiful state with diligent and determined people. Recalling the challenges of the hilly state at the time of its formation in 1948, the Prime Minister complimented the people of Himachal Pradesh for converting the challenges into opportunities. He praised the state’s achievements in horticulture, power surplus, literacy rate, rural road connectivity, tap water and electricity to every household. He underlined the efforts to build on these achievements in the last 7-8 years. “Under the young leadership of Jai Ram ji, the ‘double engine government’ has taken the initiative of expanding rural roads, highway widening, railway network, its results are now visible.As connectivity is getting better, Himachal’s tourism is entering new areas, new regions”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister highlighted the new strides in tourism and new avenues of opportunities and employment for the local people. He especially noted the progress in the health sector by talking about the efficient and fast vaccination during the pandemic. The Prime Minister emphasized the need to work hard for unlocking the full potential of Himachal Pradesh. He said that during the Amrit Kaal, there is a need to take forward the work in the fields of tourism, higher education, research, IT, biotechnology, food processing and natural farming. He said Vibrant Village scheme, announced in this year’s budget will give immense benefit to Himachal Pradesh. He also touched upon increasing connectivity, enriching forests, swachhta and people’s participation for these initiatives. The Prime Minister commented on the expansion of central welfare schemes by the Chief Minister and his team, especially in the field of social security. “Honest leadership, peace loving environment, blessings of gods and goddesses and people of Himachal who work hard, all these are incomparable.

Namaskar! I am delighted to be here with you all at the India-South Africa Business Forum. We are deeply honoured to have with us, Your Excellency Mr. President. It is a matter of great privilege that you will be the Guest of Honour at our 70th Republic Day Parade tomorrow. Our partnership spans the un-breakable bonds of history that have linked the national movements of India and South Africa. Now, our partnership is about a shared and prosperous future, which realizes the dreams of Madiba and Mahatma for our people. We seek constantly to engage and collaborate for a better future for our people, and also the world. We sealed a strategic partnership 22 years ago through the Red Fort Declaration. I believe that continuous dialogue between the two old friends and partners has brought us closer in every way. We remain stead-fast in our commitment for closer cooperation, bilaterally as well as multilaterally In recent times, there are new beginnings and interesting growth stories between two old friends. Trade between India and South Africa is on the up-swing, and has crossed the 10 billion dollar mark in 2017-18. Two major business initiatives in 2018 have helped this along. One was the India-South Africa Business Summit held in Johannesburg in April 2018. The other was Invest in India Business Forum, also in Johannesburg in November 2018. However, there is great potential still. I call upon all Indian and South African government agencies, investment promotion organizations as well as business leaders of both countries to work pro-actively to realize the true potential. I was pleased to see that there has been significant participation and presence from African countries in our States. In my earlier role as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, I was happy to welcome prominent participants from South Africa. It is gratifying that the Vibrant Gujarat last week once again welcomed our friends and partners from South Africa in large numbers. One day was specifically marked as ‘Africa Day’. This shows that our bonds are much deeper than we generally realize. It also wonderful for our bilateral economic partnership. Ladies and Gentlemen, India’s economy currently at 2.6 trillion dollars is the fastest growing major economy of the world. And, we are on our way to becoming the fifth largest economy globally. India has jumped to the 77th position in the latest edition of World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report – improving 65 places in last four years. We are one of the top FDI destinations listed by UNCTAD. But, we are not satisfied. On a daily basis, we are making necessary changes and reforms in important sectors of the economy. Our special programmes such as Make in India, Digital India and Start-Up India have caught the imagination of the world. Our industry has progressed towards Industry Four Point Zero and other innovative technologies including Artificial Intelligence, 3-D Printing, Robotics. Our Government is making all efforts to increase the living standards of our 1.3 billion people, who form one-sixth of the humanity. We are committed to building a ‘New India’ with next generation infrastructure and with emphasis on speed, skill and scale. May I also take this opportunity to congratulate you, Excellency, on the various dynamic initiatives launched by you in 2018 towards your vision of a New South Africa. We wish you well in your efforts to attract Foreign Direct Investment into South-Africa, as well as for the creation of over one million jobs for the youth in three years. I am happy that India is contributing to these objectives. Our investment into South Africa is constantly growing. This has approached 10 billion dollars, creating over 20,000 jobs locally. As a brotherly nation, India will be happy to share its experience in policy reforms and setting up ground level agencies. We encourage even more investment by Indian companies in South Africa and are confident that more South African companies will also enter the Indian market. I assure you that New India would welcome you to look at all available opportunities, particularly in Food & Agro processing, Deep mining, Defence, Fin-tech, Insurance and Infrastructure sectors. Likewise, India could also partner with South Africa in Start-ups, Health care & Pharma, Bio-tech, IT and IT enabled sectors. We are delighted to be a part of the South Africa skills story through the recent launch of the Gandhi Mandela Skills Institute. This initiative seeks to empower the youth. Another important collaboration between our two countries could be in the Gems and Jewelry sector. Both countries could explore avenues for direct procurement of diamond. It will ensure economies of scale, and also reduce the cost for both buyers and sellers. South Africa could also join hands with India in our campaign for New and Renewable Energy, specifically through the “International Solar Alliance”. Simplification of the existing visa regime for business-men and tourists, and direct connectivity would further ease business and people-to-people exchanges. Ladies and Gentlemen, There is huge untapped potential in the India-South Africa partnership. We must work together for a new era of shared growth and prosperity for the benefit of our two countries and peoples. The visit of Your Excellency provides us with a vital opportunity to take this relationship forward. I am committed, Excellency, to work shoulder-to-shoulder with you in this shared endeavor. Thank you. Thank you very much.",ভাৰত-দক্ষিণ আফ্ৰিকা ব্যৱসায়িক মঞ্চত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-remarks-at-the-india-israel-business-summit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8/,"His Excellency Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, Business Leaders of India and Israel, Ladies and Gentlemen. I welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu and members of the Israeli Delegation on behalf of all my countrymen. It is an added pleasure to be with the CEOs of both countries. Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have just completed a fruitful interaction with Indian and Israeli business leaders through the bilateral CEOs Forum. I have high hopes from this interaction and partnership of CEOs, which started last year. Friends! I have always had a deep regard for Israel and its people. I visited Israel in 2006 as Chief Minister of Gujarat. Again last year in July, I visited Israel, the first such visit from India. It was a very special visit. I experienced at close quarters the remarkable spirit of innovation, enterprise and perseverance that drives Israel. There is new energy and purpose that has in-vigorated our ties over the last few years. It will help take our cooperation to greater heights. We stand on the cusp of a bright new chapter in India-Israel relations driven by our people and the mutual opportunities for betterment of their lives. The role of business and industry is crucial in the transformation of our ties. It is your combined efforts that will add real value to our interaction and produce concrete successes. Given the scale of the Indian economy and the relevance of cutting-edge Israeli technologies for us, even sky is not the limit for what we may achieve together! Friends! I am delighted that today we have launched the maiden call for joint R&D projects under the ‘India-Israel Industrial R&D and Technological Innovation Fund (i4F)’ which was announced during my visit to Israel last July. This Fund, to be utilized over a period of 5 years, is a welcome opportunity to combine the talent pool of the two countries in pursuit of path-breaking technological solutions that can be commercially exploited. I strongly encourage enterprises in both countries to utilize this platform. Equally exciting is the pick up in science and technology exchanges through joint R&D projects such as in areas like “Data Analytics” and “Cyber Space security”. I am happy to note that the India-Israel Innovation and Technology Conclave is going to be held in India in July 2018. I hope this Conclave will spur co–development of new technologies. In fact, the ground-work for this will be started from iCREATE day after tomorrow. We are both going to Gujarat to inaugurate this campus, which is being developed as a leading innovation hub. Friends! I am taking Prime Minister Netanyahu to rural areas of Gujarat because the real power of technology and innovation lies in the benefit it brings to the common man. Israel is universally known as the Start-up nation with a unique eco-system for innovation and incubation. The credit for this goes to the Israeli entrepreneurs. You have made Israel a strong, stable and innovative economy. You have made a country of 8 million people, shine as a global power-house of technology. Whether it is Water Tech; or Agri-Tech; whether it is food production, its processing or conservation; Israel has been a shining example with new breakthru and advances. Whether it is physical or virtual security; whether it is on land, water or space; your technology has won admiration. In fact, hailing from a water deficient state in India, I have particularly admired Israel’s water efficiency. Friends! In India, we have been taking steady steps over three years at both macro as well as micro-level, to make a difference. Our motto is: Reform, Perform and Transform. The results are two-fold. On the one hand, our procedures, processes and systems are getting aligned with the best in the world. Secondly, we are able to maintain the pace of faster growth. In spite of deep structural reforms, we are among the fastest growing major economies. FDI inflows are at an all-time high, with 40% rise. Tremendous work is being done to skill and employ the youth. 65% of our population is below 35 years of age and is hungry for technology-enabled growth. This is our greatest opportunity as well as challenge. For this purpose, we have started the Start-up India campaign. There is vast potential for India-Israel partnership in this area. The India-Israel Innovation Bridge will act as a link between the Start-ups of the two sides. I have been saying that Indian Industries, start-ups and the academic institutions must collaborate with their Israeli counterparts to access the huge reservoir of knowledge. • India has size and scale. • Israel has sharpness and edge. There would be many ideas and technologies that can be useful for or can be commercially scaled up in India. Friends! Today, we have emerged as one of the largest manufacturing nations. But we are not done yet. We are positioning India as a global manufacturing hub leveraging the energy of our youth. The ‘Make in India’ initiative is designed to help achieve this. Through these initiatives, combined with the new eco-system of a formal economy and a unified tax regime, we are trying to create a NEW INDIA. We are particularly keen to develop India into a knowledge-based, skill-supported and technology-driven society. A grand beginning has already been made through Digital India and Skill India. To enable this transformation, in the last few years, my Government has undertaken substantial reforms. We have resolved a number of regulatory and policy issues facing the businesses and companies. We have worked sincerely on ‘ease of doing business’ in India. The results are there to see: • In the last three years, India has moved up 42 places in the index of Ease of Doing Business of World Bank; • We have moved up 21 places on the Global Innovation Index of WIPO in two years. • We have also moved up 32 places in last two years in the Global Competitive-ness Index of the World Economic Forum – the highest for any country; • We moved 19 places on the Logistics Performance Index of 2016 of World Bank ; • We are among the top 10 FDI destinations listed by UNCTAD But we will not stop. • We want to do more and do better. To enable entry of capital and technology, most of the sectors including defence, have been opened for FDI. More than 90 percent of the FDI approvals have been put on automatic route. We are now among the most open economies. Just a few days ago, we have allowed 100% automatic route FDI in single brand retail and construction development. We also opened up our national carrier, Air India, to foreign investors. Every day we are making it easier to do business in India. In taxation, we have carried out a number of historic reforms. The path breaking GST reform has been introduced successfully and smoothly. It is by far the biggest business and economic reform India has ever done. With introduction of GST and of Financial Technologies and digital transactions, we have really moved towards a modern tax regime, which is also transparent, stable and predictable. Friends! Several Israeli companies have joined hands with Indian companies for Making in India. Many others, especially those with advanced water technologies and agri techniques, defence and security systems, and pharma knowledge have a foot-hold in India. Similarly, Indian companies have significant presence in several sectors in Israel like IT, Irrigation and Pharma. Diamond remains a strong link in our trade. There are more business joint ventures today than before. However, this is just the beginning. Our trade with Israel has grown to more than 5 billion dollars. But this is still well below the real potential. We must attain the full potential of our ties. This is not only a diplomatic imperative but also an economic one. I welcome your suggestions on how to unlock our combined potential. The spirit of innovation, adaptation and problem solving is inherent in both countries. Just to give you an example: Imagine the environmental and economic gains if we can collaborate to save wastage and if we can add value in our fruits, vegetables and horticulture! Similar is the case with water. We have situations of plenty as well as scarcity of water. We have situations of food being thrown away even as there are many who go hungry. Friends! India’s development agenda is huge. It presents a vast economic opportunity for Israeli companies. I invite more and more Israeli people, businesses and companies to come and work in India. Along with the Government and people, the business community of India too is keen to join hands. I wish your companies and ventures all success. I assure you of my support and that of my Government wherever it is required. And I thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for his continuous support in fast-tracking India-Israel trade and economic collaboration. I am confident many successes lie ahead for our partnership.

In an email sent to lakhs of teachers, the Prime Minister mentioned their tremendous influence on the lives of children, and added that the values inculcated by teachers stay with the students for a lifetime. The Prime Minister quoted former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who had said: “Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, calibre and future of an individual.” Shri Narendra Modi said that the 21st century will be shaped by societies that accord topmost importance to education, research, and innovation. “Needless to say, this makes the role of our teachers extremely vital,” he added. “I am sure you are keeping up-to-date with the latest advances in technology and further connecting your students with the technological trends,” the Prime Minister wrote in his letter to teachers. He also mentioned some of the efforts that the Government of India is undertaking to bring about a paradigm shift in the education sector. “Thanks to the monumental efforts of teachers like you, the focus has successfully shifted from outlays to outcomes, from teaching to learning. The emphasis on skill development has received a significant push due to the Atal Tinkering Labs. Numerous universities are being set up across India so that no youngster is denied the joys of quality education,” the Prime Minister said.

Sports were also infected by nepotism and “lack of transparency in the selection of players was also a big factor.All the talent of the players was spent in battling the problems.Coming out of that vortex, the youth of India are touching the sky today.The glow of gold and silver is polishing the confidence of the country,”, he said. The Prime Minister pointed out that today, India is winning record number of medals in events like Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. He said he has full confidence in the youth of the country. “India won 7 medals for the first time in Tokyo Olympics.The same record was made by the sons and daughters of India in the Tokyo Paralympics as well.India won 19 medals in this global competition.But, this is only the beginning.India is neither going to stop nor is it going to get tired”, Shri Modi emphasized. The Prime Minister said that students who have returned from Ukraine have testified for the growing influence of the tricolour. Similarly, on the sports podium also, the same pride and patriotism is visible. The Prime Minister underlined the leadership of youth in various fields. He said “from Startup India to Standup India today. From Make in India to self-reliant India and ‘Vocal for Local’, the youth of India themselves have taken the responsibility of every campaign of New India.Our youth has established India’s potential.” The Prime Minister advised the youngsters against taking short cuts in life. Path of short cut is always short lived. He said “There is only one mantra for success – ‘Long term planning, and continuous commitment’.Neither a victory can ever be our last stop nor a defeat”. As success in sports needs 360 degree approach, the Prime Minister said, India is working with a holistic approach for promoting sports in the country. Khelo India programme is one good example of such thinking. “We started recognizing the talents of the country and giving them all necessary support.Despite having talent, our youth used to lag behind due to lack of training.Today better and better training facilities are being given to the players,” he pointed out. In the last 7-8 years budget for sports have been increased by 70 per cent. Encouragement and incentive for players have been enhanced significantly for players as well as coaches. He talked about the progress achieved in establishing sports as a viable career. There are many streams in the fields such as coaching, management, trainers, dieticians, sports writing etc which can be taken up by the youngster who are interested in the field. In Manipur and Meerut sports universities have been established and sports courses are coming up in many institutions. He also asked for paying attention to beach and water sports given such a big coastline. He also requested parents to encourage sports among their children. Khel Mahakumbh has revolutionized the sports ecosystem in Gujarat. With no age bar, it witnesses participation of people from across the State who compete in various events over a period of one month. It is a unique confluence of traditional sports like kabaddi, kho-kho, tug of war, yogasana, mallakhambh and modern sports like artistic skating, tennis and fencing. It has played an important role in identifying raw talent in sports at the grassroot level. It has also given a thrust to para sports in Gujarat.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে একাদশ খেল মহাকুম্ভ মুকলি কৰাৰ কথা ঘোষণা কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-tejaswin-shankar-for-winning-indias-first-high-jump-medal/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Tejaswin Shankar for winning India’s first High Jump medal.

Tamilisai Soundararajan Ji, My Cabinet colleague Shri G. Kishan Reddy Ji, Ministers of the Government of Telangana, Chairman of the Executive Board, Dean, other professors and teachers of the Indian School of Business, parents and my dear young friends. Today the Indian School of Business has crossed an important milestone in its glorious journey. We all are celebrating the completion of 20 years of the establishment of ISB. Today many friends have got their degrees and have received gold medals. Countless people have contributed to bring ISB to this stage of success. Remembering all of them today, I congratulate all of you – the professors of ISB, the faculty, all the students, parents, and alumni of ISB. Friends, In the year 2001, Atal ji dedicated it to the country. Since then, about 50 thousand executives have completed their training from here so far. Today ISB is one of the top business schools in Asia. Professionals who pass out from ISB are giving an impetus to the business of the country. They are handling the management of major companies. The students of ISB have built various startups and have been instrumental in the creation of several unicorns. This is not only an achievement for ISB but also a matter of great pride for the entire country. Friends, I am told that this is the first joint graduation ceremony of Hyderabad and Mohali campuses. It is also special for the students who are passing out today because at this time the country is celebrating 75 years of its independence, i.e. the Amrit Mahotsav. We are looking at the achievements of the last 75 years and are also chalking out a roadmap for the resolutions of the coming 25 years. During this ”Azadi Ka AmritKaal’, you all have a crucial role to play in the fulfillment of the resolutions we have taken for the coming 25 years. And today the hope in India, the confidence that people have, the will to build a new India, is opening the doors of many possibilities for you too. Today India is the fastest growing economy among the G20 countries. India ranks number one in terms of Smartphone data consumers. India ranks number two in the world in terms of the number of Internet users. India also ranks second in the world in the Global Retail Index. The world’s third largest startup ecosystem is in India. The world’s third largest consumer market is in India. I can enumerate many such things before you. All of us and the world have seen the potential of India during the pandemic like Corona. In this biggest disaster of the century, there was such a huge disruption in the global supply chains. Moreover, the war further aggravated this crisis. Despite all this, India is emerging as a major centre of growth today. Last year, India received the highest ever FDI, which is a record. Today the world is realizing that ‘India means business’. And this has been possible not only because of the efforts of the government alone. Business schools like ISB, professionals graduating from this institution and the youth of the country also have a huge contribution in it. Be it the startups, the traditional business, manufacturing or service sectors or our youth; they are proving that they can lead the world. Am I right? Do you believe in yourself or not? I have complete trust in you. Do you? Friends, That is why today the world is looking at India, its youth, and the Indian products with a new respect and a new trust. Friends, The scale at which India does various things in a democratic way, the way in which we can implement any policy or decision here, become a subject of research for the whole world. And that’s why we often see Indian solutions being globally implemented. So today, on this important day, I would ask you to combine your personal goals with the goals of the country. Whatever you learn, whatever you experience, whatever initiatives you take, you should always think about how the interest of the country will be served. Today, whether it is a campaign for Ease of Doing Business, abolishing more than 1500 Archaic laws and doing away with thousands of compliances, creating a transparent system like GST by repealing the many tax laws or promoting entrepreneurs and innovation; be it a new start up policy, a drone policy, opening up of many new sectors or implementing a National Education Policy that meets the requirements of the 21st century; all these big reforms are taking place only for the youth like you. Our government is always with the youth power of the country to implement the solutions given by youth like you and to make your idea the strength of the country. Friends, You must have heard that sometimes I repeat the same thing over and over again and often I say ‘Reform, Perform, Transform’. This mantra defines the governance that exists in the country today. The things that I am sharing are very important for management students and professionals like you. I am telling you all these things because you are going to take several policy decisions after leaving this institution. If the policy is good only on the drawing board, on papers, but does not produce any results on the ground, then it is of no use. Therefore, the assessment of the policy should be on the basis of implementation and end results. I would like the youngsters like you to know how the mantra of Reform, Perform, Transform has redefined the policies and governance of the country. Friends, If you compare the last 8 years with the 3 decades before that, then you will definitely note one thing. The need for reforms was always felt in our country but there was always a lack of political willpower. Due to the continuous political instability in the last three decades, the country saw a lack of political willpower for a long time. Because of this, the country stayed away from reforms and from taking major decisions. Since 2014, our country is witnessing the political willpower and reforms are being made continuously. We have shown that if the reform process is carried forward with sincerity and determination, then the public support automatically increases. The example of Fintech is before us. In a country where banking was once considered a privilege, Fintech is changing the lives of ordinary citizens of the country. Once a lot of effort was required to build trust in banks but today 40 percent of the world’s digital transactions are now taking place in India. It was believed that our health sector would not be able to respond to any major challenge. But we have seen the result of the country’s willpower to reform the health sector during the biggest pandemic of 100 years. During the starting phase of the Corona pandemic, we had very few manufacturers manufacturing PPE kits. We did not even have the necessary infrastructure required to deal with Corona. But soon a network of more than 1100 PPE manufacturers was ready in India. Initially, there were a few dozen labs for conducting corona tests. In a very short time, more than 2500 test labs were set up in the country. Concerns were being raised regarding access to corona vaccines here; whether we would be able to get the foreign vaccine or not. But soon we started manufacturing our own vaccines. So many vaccines were made in India that more than 190 crore doses had been administered. India has also supplied vaccines to more than 100 countries of the world. Similarly, we have brought several reforms in medical education too. As a result, the number of medical colleges has increased from 380 to more than 600 in the last 8 years. Graduate and post graduate seats for Medical students have been increased from 90 thousand to more than 1.5 lakh in the country. Friends, Another major change has occurred due to the willpower of the country during the last eight years. Now the bureaucracy is also engaged in taking the reforms on the ground with full force. The system is the same, but the results are very satisfactory now. And the biggest inspiration in these eight years has been public participation. The people of the country are themselves moving ahead and accelerating the reforms. And we have seen this in Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. And now we are witnessing the power of public participation in ‘Vocal for Local’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ too. When the public cooperates, the results are assured and are quick. That is, in the government system, the government reforms, the bureaucracy performs and the transformation takes place with the cooperation of the public. Friends, This is a very crucial case study for you. The dynamics of ‘Reform, Perform, Transform’ is the subject of research for you. A big institution like ISB should study, analyze and take it to the world. The young fellows who are graduating should also try to implement this mantra of Reform, Perform, Transform in every field. Friends, I would also like to draw your attention towards the transformation in the sports ecosystem of the country. After all, what is the reason that after 2014 we are witnessing unprecedented performance in every field of the sports? The foremost reason is the confidence of our athletes. Confidence comes when there is a search for the right talent; when there is hand-holding of talent; when there is a transparent selection process; when there is a better infrastructure for training and competition. We can see and experience the transformation within the field of sports today due to many such reforms like Khelo India and Olympic Podium scheme. Friends, In the field of management, people talk about performance, value addition, productivity and motivation. If you want to see the best example of the same in public policy, then you must study the Aspirational Districts programme. There were more than 100 such districts in our country that were far behind in terms of development. There were some ‘Aspirational districts’ in almost every state of the country that used to score very low in every parameter related to development. This had a direct negative impact on the overall performance and rating of the country. Thinking that nothing was happening, change was not visible and the situation was bad, the governments used to declare these districts as ‘backward’. This was the mindset that no change would ever come into these districts. In the government system, the officers who were considered the least productive or useless were often posted in these districts. But friends, We changed the approach. The districts that were called ‘backward’ are now called ‘Aspirational’ districts. We decided that we would awaken the aspiration of development in these districts and instil a new urge. Efficient, young officers of the country were identified and sent to these districts. Every work being done in these districts was closely monitored. Arrangements have been made for real time monitoring on the desk board. Wherever the shortcomings were noticed, efforts were made to rectify those shortcomings. And friends, you will be glad to know that today the situation is such that many of these districts are performing better than other districts of the country that are considered better. Those districts that were once called backward districts, which used to affect the development parameters of the country, are now accelerating the development of the country by becoming an aspirational district. Now we have asked the states to extend this approach further. In every district there are blocks that are lagging behind in terms of development. The aspirational blocks campaign is now being taken forward by identifying such blocks. The knowledge and information about these changes taking place in the country will help you a lot in policy decisions and management. Friends, It is also important for you to know all this because today not only the meaning of ‘business’ is changing in the country but the scope of ‘business’ is also expanding. Today the economic landscape in India is spreading to small, medium, cottage and even informal enterprises. These businesses are generating employment opportunities for lakhs of people. They have a lot of potential and are committed to move forward. Therefore, today when the country is writing a new chapter of economic development, we must remember one more thing. We have to take equal care of small traders and small businesses as well. We have to give them bigger platforms and better opportunities to grow. We have to help them connect with new markets in home and abroad. We need to connect them with technology more and more. And it is in this context, the role of institutions like ISB and the students of ISB becomes very vital. As a future business leader, all of you have to come forward, take responsibilities to make every business grow and expand. And you will see, if you help small businesses grow, you will help build lakhs of entrepreneurs and will help crores of families. To make India future-ready, we have to ensure that India becomes self-reliant. And the business professionals like you have a crucial role in it. And in a way, this will be an important example of service to the nation for you. Friends, Your passion to do something for the country will take the country to new heights. I have a lot of confidence in ISB, the students of ISB and all the youngsters like you. You leave this prestigious institution with a purpose. You connect your goals with the resolutions of the nation. If you do something with the commitment of ‘doing for the nation, empowering the nation’, certainly success will be yours. Once again, my best wishes to all the young friends who have received medals and have been successful, and also their family members. ISB should continue to prepare such generations in the development journey of India. I hope such generations continue to work with dedication for the nation. With this expectation, thank you very much to all of you!",হাইদৰাবাদস্থিত ‘ইণ্ডিয়ান স্কুল অব বিজনেছ’ৰ ২০ বৰ্ষপূৰ্তি সমাৰোহত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-the-inauguration-of-newly-constructed-ews-flats-in-kalkaji-delhi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%88/,"Present in the program are my colleagues in the Cabinet Shri Hardeep Singh Puri ji, Ministers of State Shri Kaushal Kishore ji and Meenakshi Lekhi ji, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena ji, hon’ble MPs of Delhi, other dignitaries, all the enthusiastic beneficiaries, brothers and sisters! Vigyan Bhawan hosts several programs attended by people wearing coats, pants, ties, etc. But it is rare to see the zeal and enthusiasm which is visible among our family members today at Vigyan Bhawan. Today is a very important day for hundreds of families, for thousands of our poor brothers and sisters of Delhi. It is kind of a new beginning of life for families who were living in the slums of Delhi for years. The campaign to provide pucca houses to the poor families of Delhi will fulfill the dream of thousands of poor families. Today hundreds of beneficiaries have got the keys to their houses. I could see the happiness and contentment on the faces of four-five families whom I met today. More than 3,000 houses have been built for Kalkaji Extension in the first phase and very soon other families residing here will also get their houses. I am sure the efforts made by the Government of India will play a big role in making Delhi a model city in the near future. Friends, It is the sweat and hard work of these poor brothers and sisters which lays the foundation for the progress, big dreams and high rises that we see in big cities like Delhi. But unfortunately, and this is a fact, that the poor who put their blood and sweat in the development of cities are forced to live a life of misery in the same city. The construction remains incomplete as long as those who construct such buildings are left behind. Our cities were deprived of holistic and balanced development in the last seven decades. There are dilapidated slums next to the cities which have glittering high-rise buildings. On one hand, some areas in the city are called posh; on the other hand, people in many areas of the same city continue to long for the basic necessities of life. How can one expect holistic development when there is so much inequality and discrimination in the same city? We need to bridge this gap in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. Therefore, the country is striving for the growth of all by following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. Friends, The system that prevailed in the country for decades continued to regard that poverty is only the problem of the poor. But there is a pro-poor government in the country today which cannot leave the poor to fend for themselves. Therefore, today the poor are at the center of the country’s policies. The poor are at the center of the nation’s decisions today. Our government is paying equal attention especially to the poor brothers and sisters living in the cities. Friends, One would be surprised to know that there were more than 50 lakh people in Delhi who did not even have their bank accounts. These people were not part of the banking system of India and were deprived of the banking advantages. The truth was that the poor were afraid to even step into the banks. These people lived in Delhi, but Delhi was too far for them. Our government changed this situation. A campaign was run and bank accounts of the poor of Delhi and the country were opened. At that time, hardly anyone could have imagined its benefits. Today the poor of Delhi are also getting the benefits of the government’s schemes. There are thousands of street vendors in Delhi who sell vegetables and fruits. There are many companions who drive auto-rickshaws and taxis. There would hardly be anybody among them who does not have BHIM-UPI today! They get money directly in their mobile phones and they make payments from mobile phones also. It is a great financial security for them. The advantage of connecting with the banking system has also become the basis of the PM SVANidhi Yojana. Under this scheme, financial assistance is being given to our street vendors living in the cities to pursue their work. And I am happy that more than 50,000 street vendor brothers and sisters of Delhi have taken advantage of the SVANidhi Yojana. Apart from this, the assistance of more than 30,000 crore rupees without guarantee under the Mudra scheme has also helped the small entrepreneurs of Delhi a lot. Friends, Our poor friends face a major problem due to the inconsistencies related to the ration card. We have made life easier for lakhs of poor people of Delhi by provisioning ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’. The ration card of our migrant workers would become useless and a mere piece of paper if they went to work in other states. This created a ration crisis for them. They have now got rid of this problem due to the ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’. The poor of Delhi have also taken advantage of this scheme during the Corona global pandemic. During this global crisis, the central government has been giving free ration to lakhs of poor people of Delhi for the last two years. The Central Government has spent more than 2,500 crore rupees on this scheme in Delhi alone. Now tell me, how much money I should have spent on advertisements for citing so many things. How many pages of advertisements did you see in newspapers with the photos of Modi? The work that I have listed is very little; otherwise, time will run out. We are here to make a difference in your life. Friends, The central government has also given insurance cover to more than 40 lakh poor people in Delhi. There is also the facility of Jan Aushadhi Kendras for affordable medicines. When there is this security in the life of the poor, he works hard with all his might. He works hard to get himself out of poverty and to defeat poverty. How important this certainty is in the life of the poor, no one can know it better than a poor person. Friends, Another issue has been the unauthorized colonies built in Delhi decades ago. Lakhs of our brothers and sisters live in these colonies. They spent their whole life worrying about their homes. The central government also took upon itself to lessen the worries of the people of Delhi. A campaign is on to regularize the houses built in unauthorized colonies of Delhi under the PM-UDAY scheme. Thousands of people have already taken advantage of this scheme till now. The central government has also provided a lot of help to the middle class people of Delhi in fulfilling the dreams of their own home. The central government is providing subsidies to the lower and middle class people of Delhi to build their own house. The central government has already spent more than Rs 700 crore in this regard. Friends, The central government aims to make Delhi a grand and amenable city befitting the capital of the country. The people, the poor and the vast middle class of Delhi, are witness to the works we have done to speed up the development of Delhi. I talked about the Aspirational Society of the country from the ramparts of the Red Fort this year. Delhi’s poor or middle class people are aspirational as well as full of phenomenal talent. Their convenience and fulfillment of their aspirations is one of the top priorities of the government. Friends, The metro used to run only on a 190 km route in Delhi-NCR when our government was formed in 2014. Today, the expansion of the metro in Delhi-NCR has increased to about 400 km. In the last eight years, 135 new metro stations have been built here. Today a large number of college going sons and daughters and salaried people write letters of gratitude to me for the metro service in Delhi. With the expansion of metro services, their money as well as their time is also being saved. In order to provide relief to Delhi from traffic congestion, roads are being widened and modernized by the Government of India with an investment of Rs. 50,000 crores. On the one hand, peripheral expressways are being built; on the other hand, constructions like ‘Kartavya Path’ are also taking place in Delhi. The central government is carrying out many development projects, be it Dwarka Expressway or Urban Extension Road, Akshardham to Baghpat six-lane Access Control Highway or elevated corridor in the form of Gurugram-Sohna Road, in Delhi which will expand modern infrastructure in the capital of the country. Friends, Rapid Rail services for Delhi NCR are also going to resume in the near future. You must have also seen the pictures of the grand construction of New Delhi Railway Station. I am happy that the construction of Bharat Vandana Park on 80 hectares of land in Dwarka is now nearing completion in the next few months. I am told that DDA maintains over 700 big parks in Delhi. Various parks are being developed by DDA on the 22 km stretch between Wazirabad Barrage and Okhla Barrage. Friends, I definitely have some expectations from my poor brothers and sisters who are going to make a new beginning in their life today. If I expect something from you, will you fulfill it? Can I give you some responsibility? Will you fulfill it? Will you forget it or not? You see, the Government of India is constructing crores of houses for the poor with the facilities of tap water and electricity connection. Ujjwala cylinders are also being provided so that mothers and sisters can cook without smoke. In the midst of these facilities, we have to make sure that we use only LED bulbs in our houses. Will you do it? Secondly, we will not allow water to be wasted in our colonies under any circumstances. Otherwise, you know what some people do. They keep the bucket upside down in the bathroom and keep the tap water on. For the people who have to get up at 6 a.m., it acts as an alarm bell. They wake up with the sound of the tap water falling on the bucket. It is very important to save water and electricity. And importantly, we should not allow a slum-like environment here. Our colonies should be clean and beautiful. I would suggest you hold cleanliness competition among towers in your colony. It is our responsibility to end this decades-long perception regarding slums that they remain filthy. I am sure you will keep playing your role in the development of Delhi and the country and this relentless journey of development of Delhi and the country will continue with the contribution of every citizen of Delhi. With this belief, I wish you all the very best and many congratulations.

Many of you have come to Berlin today from different cities of Germany. I was surprised to see many small children here out in the cold at 4.30 a.m., whereas it is very hot in India nowadays. Your love and blessings are my great strength. I have met many of you during my earlier visit to Germany. I also had the opportunity to meet some of you during your visit to India. I can see a large number of the people of the young generation who are very enthusiastic. I am very grateful to you from my heart that you took time off from your busy schedule to come here. Our ambassador was just mentioning that Indians are less in terms of numbers in Germany, but there is no dearth of your affection and enthusiasm and when the people of India see this then they too feel proud. Friends, Today I have come here neither to talk about myself nor about the Modi government, but I want to talk about the capabilities of crores of Indians and sing their praises. When I speak about crores of Indians, it includes not only the people who live in India, but also those who live here. It is about all the children of Maa Bharati who live in every corner of the world. First of all, I congratulate all the Indians for being successful in Germany. I wish you the very best. Friends, This period of the 21st century is very important for India, for Indians, and especially for our youth. Today India has made up its mind and is moving ahead with a resolve. Today India knows where, how and how far it has to go. And you know that when a country is determined, it chooses new ways and achieves its destination. Today’s aspirational India and the youth want rapid development of the country. He knows that political stability and strong will is very essential. Today’s India understands it very well. The people of India ended the politically unstable atmosphere of the last three decades by pressing a button. In the last seven-eight years, the voter of India has started realizing the power of his vote and how that one vote can change India. It was the desire for a positive change and rapid development that the people of India elected a government with absolute majority in 2014 and this has happened after 30 years. It is the vision of the great people of India that it made the government of the country stronger than before in 2019. The people of India handed over power to the decisive government needed to take India forward in all spheres. Friends, I know that many expectations are attached with us, with me, but I also know that India can reach new heights by working hard and with the support and leadership of crores of Indians. India will not waste time now. India realizes the importance of the present period, its potential and what is to be achieved during this period. Friends, We are celebrating the 75th year of our independence this year. I am the first prime minister of the country who was born in independent India. The peak on which India would be at that time when India celebrates 100 years of its independence after 25 years, it is strongly taking step after step and walking swiftly toward that goal. Friends, There has never been a dearth of resources in India. The country chose a path and a direction after independence. However, due to some reason or the other, we have been left behind in carrying out many broader and rapid changes that should have taken place over time. There was only one solution to the self-confidence of Indians which was crushed during the foreign rule over years. It was very important to instill confidence and self-respect in the people of India, and for that it was very important to have people’s trust in the government. There was a huge trust gap between the government and the people due to the British legacy. Clouds of suspicion were looming large. Speed was lacking in the changes that were necessary after British rule. Therefore, the need of the hour was that there should be less of government in the life of the common man, there should be minimum government, maximum governance. There should not be absence of government where there is a need, but there should be no influence of the government where there is no need. Friends, The country progresses when the people of the country themselves lead its development. The country progresses when the people of the country come forward and decide its direction. In today’s India, it is not the government, or Modi, but the crores of the people who are the driving force. That is why we are ending unnecessary interference of the government from the lives of the people of the country. We are transforming the country through reforms. And I always say that reform requires political will, performance requires establishment of government machinery and transformation requires public participation. Only then the vehicle of reform, perform and transform moves forward. Today India is working fast and setting new dimensions in ease of living, quality of life, ease of employment, quality of education, ease of mobility, quality of travel, ease of doing business, quality of services and quality of products. It is the same country that you left behind and came here. Bureaucracy, government offices and government machinery is the same, but now we are getting better results. Friends, Before 2014, there used to be a big complaint whenever I would talk to friends like you. You would remember those days when ‘Work in progress’ was omnipresent. I am not criticizing anybody, but it had been a norm in our country that a road was dug for electricity lines soon after it was built. Then people from the water department would go there for water lines. Then it would be the turn of the telephone department. So much money used to be spent on a road but the work would still not be over. I have given you only one example, because you have seen all these things. It happens because there is either no communication between the government departments or there is no coordination of information. Everyone has created his own world and is ensconced in it. Everyone has a report card of building so many roads, laying so many wires and pipes, but the outcome was ‘Work in Progress’. Now we have prepared the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan to break these silos. It is being praised all around. We have brought all the stakeholders in every infrastructure project on a single platform by ending every departmental silo. Now all the departments of the governments are planning their respective work in advance. This new approach has increased the speed and scale of development projects. India’s biggest strength today is scope, speed and scale. Today India is witnessing unprecedented investment in social and physical infrastructure. An environment of consensus has been created to implement the new education policy, while on the other hand, work is going on to implement the new health policy. Today, a record number of new airports are being built in India, connecting small cities with air routes. The amount of work being done on Metro connectivity in India today has never been done before. A record number of new mobile towers are being installed in India today and 5G is knocking on the doors of India. A record number of villages are being connected with optical fiber in India today. You can imagine that lakhs of villages will be covered by optical fiber network and India’s villages will be connected with the world. The people in India and Germany will be able to realize the rapid internet connectivity in India. And you will applaud that the cheapest data which is available in India is unimaginable for many countries. Now India does not think small. India accounts for 40% of the real time digital payments globally. Friends, Let me tell you one more thing and you will definitely like it. One does not need to carry cash while travelling in India. All kinds of payments are being made through mobile phones even in the remotest villages. Friends, The way technology is being incorporated into governance in India today demonstrates the new political will of a new India and is a testament to the delivery capability of democracy. This figure will surprise you. Today, about 10,000 services of the central government, state governments and local self-governments are available online. Be it the government assistance, scholarship, or the price of the farmer’s crop, everything is now being directly transferred to the bank account. Now no prime minister will have to say that I send one rupee from Delhi and fifteen paise reaches people. What was the hand that withdrew 85 paise? You would also like to know the figures which I am sharing with you. Will you remember these figures? Do not be afraid, this is your effort. In the last seven-eight years, the Government of India sent money into the accounts of the beneficiaries with a single click through the DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). The amount that we sent through DBT is more than Rs 22 lakh crore. Now that you are in Germany, then let me tell you that it is more than $ 300 billion. There is no middleman and no commission. It has led to transparency in the system, and as a result, these policies, intent and technology have helped bridge that trust gap. Friends, The common citizen is empowered when there are such tools available. Therefore, it is very natural that he becomes confident and he himself starts making the resolution and realizes it through hard work. Only then the country moves forward, friends. The new India does not just think of a secure future, but it is prepared to take risks, innovate and incubate. I remember there used to be only 200-400 start-ups in the country around 2014. Today there are more than 68,000 start-ups. From 400 to 68,000! Did not your chest swell with pride and your head hold high after listening to this? Not only this, dozens of start-ups became unicorns as per the parameters of the world. It is not only limited to unicorns. There are many unicorns which have become decacorns worth more than 10 billion dollars in no time. I remember when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat and I would ask the officials about their children. They would say their children were preparing for IAS. Now If I ask them the same question, they say their children are involved in start-ups. This is not a small change, friends. Friends, What is the basic issue? Today the government is encouraging the innovators and not binding them. The government is providing a nurturing environment if you want to do innovations in the field of geospatial technology, make new drones, or make new satellites, or rockets in the field of space. There was a time when it used to take months to register a company if one failed to attach a particular paper. When the trust of the citizens increases in the government, then the gap of mistrust ends. Friends, today, it takes 24 hours to register a company. In the last few years, it was a norm in government offices to ask for the same documents several times. If there are six people in an office, they will separately ask for the same document. There were so many compliance guidelines. Friends, You will be surprised that we have abolished more than 25,000 compliances. Now I have to do this work also. I was preparing for the 2013 elections after my party nominated me for the Prime Ministerial candidate. One day, businessmen from Delhi called me to a business summit. There was a gentleman who was explaining about so many rules and regulations. Generally, people make tall promises during election campaigns. But friends, I am made of a different soil. When I rose to speak, I said you people are talking about new laws, but I have a different intention. I don’t know whether you will vote for me if I tell you about my intention. I told them that I promise to abolish one law every day if I am elected. Many people were surprised that this person has no understanding of governance. But today friends, I am giving you my account. Friends, I have abolished 1,500 laws in the first 5 years of my government. Why should there be the burden of this web of laws on the citizens? India is an independent country. This country does not belong to Modi, but to the 130 crore citizens. Look at the specialty of our country. There was one country, but two constitutions. Why did it take so much time? There was a term coined ‘Tubelight’. It took seven decades to implement one constitution across the country. Similarly, if a poor man lived in Jabalpur and he had a ration card there, the same ration card was of no use if he was forced to come to Jaipur for a living. There was one country, but separate ration cards. Today, there is One Nation, One Ration Card. Earlier, if someone wanted to invest in the country, there used to be different taxation rules if he wanted to set up three companies in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Bengal separately. He had to hire a chartered accountant at all the three places as there were different laws. Today, there is one tax system. Our Finance Minister Nirmala ji is sitting here. You know what happened in April. There was a record GST collection of 1.68 lakh crore. Did it not happen in the direction of One Nation, One Tax firmly? Friends, Make in India is becoming the driving force of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign. A confident India today is not only easing the process but also supporting investments with production-linked incentives. Its impact is also visible on the exports from India. Just a few days ago, we broke the record of 400 billion dollars of exports. If we look at the Goods and Services, India’s exports accounted for $ 670 billion i.e. about 50 lakh crore rupees last year. Did your hands freeze for applause after this figure? Many new districts of India are expanding their scope for exports to new countries. What is being manufactured today is ‘Zero Defect, Zero Effect’. With this mantra, the country is moving in the direction of production where there is no quality defect and there is no effect on the environment due to production. Friends, The biggest truth of this third decade of the 21st century is that today India is going global. During the period of Corona, India helped save many lives by sending essential medicines to more than 150 countries. When India succeeded in developing vaccines for Covid, we helped about 100 countries with our vaccines, friends. Friends, Today’s breaking news, sorry for the interruption. Today the world is facing a wheat shortage. Major countries of the world are worried about food security. At such a time, the farmers of India are coming forward to feed the world, friends. Friends, Whenever humanity faces any crisis, India comes up with a solution. Congratulations to those who bring the crisis, we come with the solution and the world cheers, friends. This is the new India; this is the potential of the new India. Those who haven’t been to India in years should not feel embarrassed. But they must be wondering how did this happen? How did such a big change come? No friends, your answer is wrong. Modi has not done anything, 130 crore countrymen have done it. Friends, Your contribution to India becoming global is also going to be important. The craze that has arisen for local products in India today is similar to the one for indigenous goods during the freedom movement. For a long time, we saw people bragging about buying foreign products. But today the people of India have a new feeling of pride about their local products. You would also know 10-20 years from now, when you used to write a letter to your family informing them about the date of your visit, you were told to bring a particular product on your way back home. Now when you have to visit your home, you are told not to bring anything as everything is available here. Am I right or not? Friends, this is the power and that’s why I reiterate ‘vocal for local’, but not for the local products here (in Germany). The local product is one in which the hard work of an Indian is involved, which has the smell of sweat of an Indian and which has the fragrance of that soil. Friends, the products which have been made in India and which have the sweat of the youth of India should be our fashion statement. Once you experience this feeling, you will feel the vibration spreading. When you go to India for 10 days the next time, then people from here will write a letter to you and ask you to bring something from India. Shouldn’t you do this? Friends, let me tell you a great example of Khadi. All of you know Khadi. There used to be a relationship between Khadi and a politician. The politician and Khadi were inseparable. Khadi meant a politician and a politician meant Khadi. Unfortunately, the Khadi which Mahatma Gandhi lived in, the Khadi which gave power to the freedom movement in India, it was treated in the same manner after independence as to the dreams of the freedom lovers. Was it not the responsibility of the country? Khadi, which ensured the livelihood of a poor mother and support for a widowed mother to raise her children, was left to its fate and in a way was on the verge of extinction. I took the initiative when I became the Chief Minister. You proudly claim that you have this fabric, saree or kurta. Do you or not? I used to tell them to keep Khadi as well. Friends, It was a small issue, but today I bow my head before the country for embracing Khadi. You will also be happy to know that for the first time after 75 years of independence, when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of independence, the turnover of Khadi crossed Rs 1 lakh crore this year. How many poor widowed mothers would have got livelihood? In the last 8 years, the production of Khadi has increased by almost 175 percent. The spirit with which I talk about start-ups, I speak about Khadi in the same spirit. The spirit with which I talk about satellites, I speak about the soil in the same spirit. Friends, Today I would urge all of you to join me in making India’s local products global. You can easily get the people here acquainted with the diversity, power and the beauty of India’s local products. Indian diaspora is spread in every country in the world and the specialty of Indian diaspora is that it merges (with the locals) like sugar in milk. And in no time, it adds value and makes the milk sweet. Whoever has these abilities can easily make the local (products) of India global in Germany. Will you do it? Why is your voice suppressed? Friends, I believe in you and you will do it. I want to remind you one more thing that today there is so much potential of Yoga, Ayurveda and the products of our traditional medicine that you cannot imagine. When you introduce yourself that you are from India, does not the other person ask you about Yoga? Even if you don’t know anything about Yoga, but if you touch your nose (in a Yoga Asana), he will consider you to be an expert. Such is the reputation of the penance of the sages of India that people are ready to pay you fees in dollars even if you put up a board, create an online platform and teach them how to touch their noses (through Yoga Asana). What the sages left behind thousands of years ago has been reinvented before the world now. But are you associated with it? The International Yoga Day on 21st June is not far away. Therefore, I would urge you to spread across in teams and teach everybody about the benefits of Yoga. Friends, Today I want to discuss another topic with you and that is Climate Action. We are working on every solution from people’s power to tech power to tackle the climate challenge in India. In the last eight years, we have increased the coverage of LPG in India by 50 per cent to almost 100 per cent. Almost every house in India is now using LED bulbs. Under the Ujala scheme, we have distributed about 37 crore LED bulbs in the country and LED bulbs are used for saving energy. You can proudly tell the people in Germany how a small change in India led to the saving of about 48,000 million kilowatts of electricity. It has also led to the reduction of about 40 million tonnes of carbon emission annually. You can imagine how much this one scheme has protected the environment. Friends, due to such efforts, India is opening a new avenue in green jobs at an unprecedented level. I am happy that India and Germany have also taken a step towards energy partnership. Friends, we have decided to take climate responsibility to the next level during the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom. I will give you an example that Indians have resolved to build 75 new Amrit Sarovars (ponds) in every district of the country. In the coming 500 days, 50,000 new water bodies will be built in the country and the old ponds will be revived. Water is life. If there is water, there is a future, but even for water one has to sweat, friends. Can you join this campaign? You should also cooperate in making a pond in the village from where you have come. And you can imagine how much joy it will give to all the Indians spread across the world for contributing to Amrit Sarovars during the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom. Friends, The famous German scholar Max Müller, who had the best understanding of India, talked about the shared future of the Indo-European world. All of you here must be mentioning him 10 times a day. This is the best time to implement it in the 21st century. The strong partnership of India and Europe can ensure peace and prosperity in the world. May this partnership continue to grow and you keep contributing for the humanity and welfare of India with the same enthusiasm because we believe in Vasudeva Kutumbakam (the world is one family). Friends, wherever you are, go ahead, flourish, may all your dreams come true, these are my very best wishes to you and the best wishes of 130 crore countrymen are with you. Be happy, stay healthy!

Greetings to all! Today the birth centenary of Swami Atmasthanandaji has been organized under the guidance of revered saints. This event is full of different feelings and memories for me personally. It holds a lot of significance. Swamiji had left for his heavenly abode at an age very close to 100 years. I always got his blessings and was fortunate to be close to him. I was also fortunate to be in touch with him till his last moments. Just as love is showered on a child, he continued to shower love on me. His blessings were with me till his last breath. And I feel that Swamiji Maharaj in his spirit form is still showering us with his blessings. I am glad that in order to take his life’s mission to the masses, two commemorative volumes, a pictorial-biography and a documentary, are also being released today. I heartily congratulate the President of Ramakrishna Mission Pujya Swami Smaranananda Ji Maharaj for this work. Friends, Swami Atmasthananda ji was initiated by Pujya Swami Vijnananda ji, a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa. That awakened realization of a saint like Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa and that spiritual energy was clearly visible in him. You all know very well that there is a great tradition of sanyas in our country. There have been many forms of sanyas as well. Vanprastha Ashram is also considered as a step towards Sanyas. The meaning of sanyas is to rise above oneself, to work for the collective and to live for the collective. It is the expansion of the self to the entirety/community. It is paramount for a sannyasi to see the service of the Lord in the service of the soul i.e. to see Shiva in an individual. Swami Vivekananda ji had moulded this great tradition of sanyas in its modern form. Swami Atmasthananda ji had lived this form of sanyas in his life and had proven it. Under his direction, Belur Math and Sri Ramakrishna Mission carried out amazing relief and rescue operations not only in India but also in countries like Nepal and Bangladesh. He continuously worked for the welfare of the people in rural areas and had set up institutions for the same. Today these institutions are helping the poor in getting employment and earning a livelihood. Swamiji used to consider the service to the poor, the spread of knowledge and the related work as worship to God. So, working in mission mode, setting up new institutions, and strengthening the institutions, were the principles of Ramakrishna Mission for him. Like it is said here, where there is a spirit of divinity, there is a pilgrim centre. Similarly, wherever there are such saints, humanity and the spirit of service remain as the focus. Swamiji had proven this by his sanyasa life. Friends, Be it Adi Shankaracharya who lived hundreds of years ago or Swami Vivekananda of modern times, our sant tradition has always been proclaiming ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’. The establishment of Ramakrishna Mission is associated with the idea of ‘Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat’. Swami Vivekananda had lived this resolution in the form of a mission. He was born in Bengal. But if you visit any part of the country, you will hardly find a place not lived or influenced by Vivekananda. His travels had made the country realize its ancient national consciousness in that era of colonialism and had infused a new confidence in it. This tradition of Ramakrishna Mission was carried forward by Swami Atmasthananda ji throughout his life. He had spent his life in different parts of the country and had taken various initiatives. Wherever he lived, he adapted himself completely with that place. He used to speak Gujarati so well while living in Gujarat. And I was fortunate to have spoken with him in Gujarati language even towards the end of his life. I also loved listening to his Gujarati. And today I want to recall an event. During the Kutch earthquake, without wasting any time, he discussed the situation with me and asked about the kind of work and support that the Ramakrishna Mission could provide in Kutch. And at that time, I was not holding any political position. I was working as a party worker. He discussed it in detail. And under his guidance at that time, a lot of work was done to provide relief to the earthquake victims in Kutch. That is why, everyone knows the saints of Ramakrishna Mission as the symbol of national unity in the country. And, when they travel abroad, they represent Indianness there. Friends, This awakened tradition of Ramakrishna Mission has manifested through the spiritual practice of a divine figure like Ramakrishna Paramhansa. Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa, was one such saint who had a clear vision of Goddess Kali and had surrendered his complete self at the feet of Goddess Kali. He used to say – this whole world, this variable and constant, everything is pervaded by the consciousness of the mother. This very consciousness is visible in the Kali Puja of Bengal. This very consciousness is visible in the devotion of Bengal and the whole of India. A beam of this consciousness and power was illuminated by Swami Ramakrishna Paramahansa in the form of Yugpurushas like Swami Vivekananda. The spiritual vision that Swami Vivekananda felt for Mother Kali, had infused extraordinary energy and power within him. A great personality like Swami Vivekananda used to shiver like a small child in the stream of devotion for Mother Kali. I could see the same sincerity of devotion, and the same power of Shakti Sadhana within Swami Atmasthanandaji. And he would speak of Goddess Kali even during his speeches or talks. And I remember, when I had to visit Belur Math, sitting on the banks of the Ganges and looking at the temple of Maa Kali from a distance, would develop an attachment towards divinity. When devotion is so pure, the goddess herself would show us the path. That is why the infinite blessing of Maa Kali is always with India. Today India is moving ahead with the spirit of global welfare with this spiritual energy. Friends, Our sages have shown us that when our thoughts are broad, we are never alone in our endeavours! If you see the life’s journey of many such saints in India, you will see that they have fulfilled humongous resolutions with zero resources. I had seen this same devotion and dedication in the life of Pujya Atmasthanandaji as well. We had a Guru-Shishya relationship in a way. From saints like him, I have learnt to be selfless and to dedicate myself to service completely. That is why I always say that when an Indian, a sage can do so much, then nothing becomes unachievable by the collective resolve of 130 crore countrymen? We can also see this power of resolve in the Swachh Bharat Mission. People did not believe that such a mission could be successful in India. But, the countrymen had taken a pledge, and the world is seeing the results. We also have the example of Digital India before us. At the time of the introduction of digital payments, it was said that this technology is not for a country like India. But today the same India has emerged as a world leader in the field of digital payments. Similarly, the most recent example is that of vaccination against the coronavirus. Two years ago many people would calculate the time to be taken for everyone to get the vaccine in India. Some used to say 5 years, some would say 10 years while some even said 15 years! Today we have reached close to 200 crore vaccine doses within a year and a half. These examples symbolise the fact that when the thoughts are pure, efforts do not take long to accomplish the goals and even the obstacles can lead the way. I am sure that the country will continue to receive the blessings and inspiration from our saints in this way. In the coming times, we will build the same magnificent India, for which the confidence was instilled in us by Swami Vivekananda, and for which saints like Swami Atmasthananda had strived so hard. And today my visit here to all the revered saints like you, is like visiting my family. In fact, I am talking in this same spirit. You have always considered me as a member of your family. We are currently celebrating the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. On this occasion, it is our resolve to build 75 Amrit Sarovars in every district. Wherever you are working, you should also inspire people and join the movement. Your activism can bring a sea change with the noble work of service to humanity during the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. You have stood by the people of the society at all times. The Centenary year is the year of new energy and a new inspiration. I hope the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ becomes successful in awakening the sense of duty in the country. The collective contribution of all of us can bring about a major reform. With this spirit, once again my salutations to all the saints!

Adaptation does not get as much importance in the Global climate debate as Mitigation. This is an injustice to developing countries, which are more affected by climate change. Climate is a major challenge for farmers in most developing countries, including India – the cropping pattern is changing, crops are being destroyed by untimely rains and floods, or frequent storms. From drinking water sources to affordable housing, all of these need to be made resilient against climate change. Excellencies, I have three views in this context. First, we have to make adaptation a key part of our development policies and projects. Projects like ‘Nal se Jal’- Tap water for all, ‘Swachh Bharat’- clean India Mission and ‘Ujjwala’- clean cooking fuel for all in India, have not only provided adaptation benefits to our needy citizens but have also improved their quality of life. Secondly, many traditional communities have adequate knowledge of living in harmony with nature. These traditional practices must be given due importance in our adaptation policies. This flow of knowledge must also be included in the school syllabus so that it is passed on to the new generation. Preservation of lifestyles in compliance with the local conditions can also be an important pillar of adaptation. Third, the methods of adaptation may be local, but backward countries should get global support for them.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi recalled his long association with the local tribal community and credited their blessings for inspiring him to undertake service of the nation. He also credited their support and blessing for a scenario where all the problems of tribal communities and specially those of women are being addressed by the double engine government at centre and the state. Among the projects that have been inaugurated today, one is a scheme related to drinking water and the other is a project related to making Dahod a smart city, he said. This will bring ease of life for the mothers and daughters of the region. He said Dahod will contribute to Make in India campaign as Rs 20 thousand crore worth of 9000 HP Electric Locomotives is coming up at the Production Unit in Dahod. He recalled how the railway area of Dahod was dying when he used to visit the servant quarters in the area long ago. He took pledge to revive the railway set up of the area and expressed happiness today when that dream is being realized. He said that this huge investment will provide new opportunities to the youth of area. Railway, he noted, is getting upgraded in all aspects and manufacturing of such advanced locomotive is indication of India’s prowess. “The demand for electric locomotives is increasing in foreign countries. Dahod will play a big role in meeting this demand. India is now one of the few countries in the world that makes powerful loco of 9 thousand horsepower”, he added. Shifting to Gujarati, the Prime Minister said that we should ensure that in the journey of progress our mothers and daughters are not left behind. That is why, the Prime Minister said, women’s ease of life and empowerment is at the centre of all the schemes of the government. He gave example of water scarcity that affects the women first, that is why, the government is committed to provide tap water to every household. 6 crore households got the facility of tap water in last few years. In Gujarat 5 lakh tribal families have received the facility of tap water. This campaign is being accelerated in the coming days. He said in the difficult period of the pandemic and wars, government ensured the welfare of vulnerable communities like ST, SCs, OBCs and migrant labourers. It was ensured that no poor family sleep hungry and free ration is being provided to more than 80 crore people for more than two years. He reiterated his pledge that every tribal household should have pucca house with toilet, gas connection, electricity, water connection. In his village there should be health and wellness centre, education, ambulance and roads. To achieve this, central and state governments are working tirelessly. He expressed his immense happiness on seeing the beneficiaries venturing into projects of nation’s service such as natural farming. The government has also addressed the issue of sickle cell disease. In the context of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Prime Minister said that that many actual freedom fighter did not get their due recognition. He told about the recognition given to venerable fighters like Bhagwan Birsa Munda. He asked the local teachers to teach about the massacre in Dahod which was like Jallianwala Bagh massacre so that new generation knows about these incidents. He also talked about the progress in the region as compared to days when there were not evena single science school. Now medical and nursing colleges are coming up, youth is going abroad for studies and Eklavya model schools are being established. Number of tribal research institutes have gone up significantly. He recalled how injection for snake bite is being provided under 108 facility. In conclusion, he reiterated his request for 75 sarovars in the year of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav to be constructed in the district.",প্রধানমন্ত্রী শ্রী নৰেন্দ্র মোদীয়ে গুজৰাটৰ দাহোদ আৰু পঞ্চমহলত ২২ হাজাৰ কোটি টকা মূল্যৰ প্রকল্পৰ উদ্বোধন আৰু আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-demise-of-ls-mp-and-former-union-minister-shri-sultan-ahmed/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A6-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has condoled the demise of Lok Sabha MP and former Union Minister Shri Sultan Ahmed. “Saddened on the demise of LS MP and former Union Minister Shri Sultan Ahmed.

Impact: 1. Implementation of these twin projects would help in addressing the problem of water-logging in 84800 Ha of land in Muktsar, Faridkot and Ferozpur districts in South-West Punjab. 2. Implementation of these projects would address the problem of water logging in South-West Punjab and enhance the flows/ water availability in the two canals. 3. Farmers in the area would be benefitted due to stabilisation / improved irrigation in 98,739 Ha of land due to relining of Rajasthan Feeder and 69,086 Ha due to relining of Sirhind Feeder. Expenditure: • Funding for CA to the Rajasthan Feeder and Sirhind feeder shall be made through NABARD under existing system for funding of 99 PMKSY-AIBP projects under LTIF. • In addition to existing monitoring mechanism for projects by Central Water Commission, an Expert Project Review Committee may be constituted to oversee the overall implementation of these projects. • The approved cost of relining of Sirhind Feeder Canal is Rs. 671.478 Cr and that of relining of Rajasthan Feeder Canal is Rs. 1305.267 Cr, at 2015 PL. Of the total estimated cost, Rs. 826.168 Cr would be provided as Central Assistance (Rs. 205.758 Cr for Sirhind Feeder and Rs. 620.41 Cr for Rajasthan Feeder). • Investment Clearance of Revised Cost Estimates amounting to Rs.671.478 crore and Rs.1305.267 crore for Relining of Sirhind Feeder and Relining of Rajasthan Feeder respectively have been accorded on 6th April, 2016. • The projects were visited by a team under Chairman CWC during 2016 and by another team under Sh. A. B. Pandya, former Chairman, CWC during 2017. They recommended remedial works to be taken up. The Punjab Government also conveyed its financial concurrence on 26.04.2018. Background Sirhind and Rajasthan Feeders take off upstream of Harike Head works and flow through Punjab before crossing over to Rajasthan. The twin canals have a common bank and were constructed in the 1960s as lined (brick) channels to convey water to command areas in Punjab and Rajasthan. The Government of Punjab has reported considerable seepage loss due to damages in the lining of both Sirhind and Rajasthan Feeders. As a result, apart from reduced flows in these canals, the adjacent areas have been affected by water logging causing huge agricultural losses.

Today, the country has taken an important step towards the making of a developed India in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. There should be faster last mile delivery in India, the challenges related to transport should be eliminated and both the time and money of our manufacturers and industries should be saved. Similarly, how do we prevent losses caused due to delays in our agro products? There has been a continuous effort to find solutions to all these issues and the National Logistics Policy is a part of that. I am sure that there will be coordination between the different units of the government working in this area for the improvement of all these systems. There will be a holistic approach and it will give impetus to the speed that we want. I got delayed by 5-7 minutes due to an exhibition here. Though I could not see the exhibits properly due to lack of time and I had a cursory glance at them. I request all of you to take some time out and visit the exhibition for 15-20 minutes which is in this campus itself. What is the role of technology in this field? How are we using the space technology? You will get to learn many new things if you look at all the exhibits. Today we are the 5th largest economy in the world. Aren’t you happy? Better late than never! It happens sometimes. Since there is so much negativity all around that sometimes it takes a long time to notice the good. The country is changing. There was a time when we used to release pigeons. Today we release cheetahs. It does not happen all of a sudden. There is some relevance between the release of cheetahs in the morning and the launch of the National Logistics Policy in the evening. We want movement of goods from one place to another with the speed of the cheetah. The country wants to move forward at the same speed. Friends, The echo of Make in India and ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’ is reverberating not only in India but abroad also. Today India is setting huge export targets. Initially, it is difficult to set such huge targets given the past performance. But once it is decided then the country does it as well. Today, the country is meeting those targets. Such is the potential of the country in the manufacturing sector that India is emerging as a manufacturing hub. Today, the world is even acknowledging this fact. Those who study the PLI scheme will realize that the world has accepted this fact. In such a situation, the National Logistics Policy has brought a lot of new energy for every sector. I would like to congratulate and convey my best wishes to all the stakeholders, traders, businessmen, exporters and farmers of the country for this important initiative which is going to be a game-changer for them. Friends, There are many policy makers and industry stalwarts present in this event. They have faced difficulties in their life and have found ways as well. Sometimes, they might have resorted to shortcuts. I am telling you today what people will write tomorrow. The policy itself is not the final result. In fact, it is the beginning. Policy plus performance becomes progress. That is if parameters of performance, a roadmap for performance and a timeline for performance are clubbed together with a policy, then policy plus performance becomes progress. Therefore, the responsibility of performance of the government and all the stalwarts engaged in this field increases manifold once the policy is finalized. There may be contrarian views regarding a policy. Some may find a policy good while some others may not. But policy is like a driving force, a guiding force. Therefore, this policy should not be seen just as a government document. We need to catch up with the speed with which we need to transport goods from east to west like the speed of a cheetah. Today’s India prepares a ground before formulating and implementing its policies. Only then that policy is successfully implemented and there are possibilities of progress. The National Logistics Policy is also not being launched suddenly. It is the culmination of eight years of hard work. Several policies were changed and important decisions were incorporated. If I speak for myself, I can say that it includes my 22 years of governance experience from 2001 to 2022. We launched projects like Sagarmala and Bharatmala to improve logistics connectivity and to ensure systematic infrastructure development. We endeavoured to expedite the work of the dedicated freight corridors. Today the total capacity of Indian ports has increased significantly. The average turn-around time of container vessels has come down from 44 hours to 26 hours. Many new waterways are also being built in the country so that we can carry out eco-friendly and cost effective transportation. About 40 Air Cargo Terminals have also been built in the country to help in exports. Cold storage facilities have been provided at 30 airports. Thirty-five multi-modal logistics hubs are also being set up across the country. You all have seen that the country also started using Kisan Rail and Krishi Udan during the time of the Corona crisis. They helped a lot in transporting agricultural produce from far flung areas of the country to the main markets. Krishi Udan carried the produce of farmers to foreign countries. Today, the Krishi Udan facilities are available at about 60 airports in the country. I am sure some of our journalist friends will call me after listening to my speech that they were not even aware of all these things. There must be many of you too who would be surprised to know that so much has happened. It is so because we don’t care. The government has also tried to strengthen the logistics sector with the help of technology apart from investing lakhs of crores of rupees on the infrastructure projects. Be it the paperless EXIM trade process through eSANCHIT, faceless assessment in customs, or the provision of e-way bills and FASTag, all these facilities have greatly increased the efficiency of the logistics sector. Friends, Another major challenge of the logistics sector has also been eliminated by our government in the last few years. Earlier, there used to be brakes on the pace of logistics due to multiple taxes in different states. But GST has resolved this problem. As a result, unnecessary paperwork has been reduced which has simplified the process of logistics. The way the government has changed the drone policy in the last few months by linking it to the PLI scheme, today drones are also being used to deliver various goods. You just see the younger generation will definitely come in this sector. Drone transportation is going to be a major sector and I would like to see how the agricultural production in the remote and small villages of the Himalayan ranges could be transported through drones. How can fresh fish be transported to landlocked areas in big cities? All this is going to materialize soon. I don’t need royalty if this idea works for anyone. Friends, I reiterate all these things because drones have helped us a lot in the past in carrying medicines and vaccines to the tough terrain and mountainous areas. We have used it. As I said, the logistics sector is going to gain a lot due to the maximum use of drones in the transport sector. Therefore, we have put forward a very progressive policy before you. Friends, It is only after a series of reforms for creating a strong logistics base in the country that we have come up with this National Logistics Policy. This policy is now at the take-off stage. Many initiatives have been taken and many systems have been developed. Now all of us have to come together for the take-off. I can imagine the boom in the logistics sector. This change is going to bring unprecedented results. And if you evaluate it after a year, then you yourself will acknowledge the success which you had not even imagined. We all should aim to bring the logistics cost of 13-14 percent to single digit as soon as possible. If we have to be globally competitive then it is kind of a low hanging fruit. We may find it difficult to reduce the cost in other things, but this is a low hanging fruit. We can bring the logistics cost to single digit from the prevalent 13-14 percent through our efforts, efficiency and following some rules. Friends, Two more major challenges have been addressed through the National Logistics Policy. A manufacturer has to apply for different licenses in different districts for his business. Our exporters also have to go through a long process. Exporters have to compile shipping bill numbers, railway consignment numbers, E-way bill numbers, etc to track and trace their goods. Only then can he serve the country. All of you are very nice that you don’t complain much. But I understand your pain so I am trying to improve it. The Unified Logistics Interface Platform i.e., ULIP, that has been launched today, will save the exporters from this long process. There is a demo of it in the exhibition. You will realize how you can arrive at your decisions fast and improve your business. ULIP will bring all the digital services related to the transportation sector on a single platform. A digital platform named Ease of Logistics Services — eLOGS –has also been launched today under the National Logistics Policy. Through this portal, industry associations can directly take up any such matter with the government agency, which is causing problems in their operations and performance. In short, a system has been created so that you can reach the government in a very transparent way and without any hurdles. A comprehensive system has been developed for the speedy resolution of such cases. Friends, The National Logistics Policy is going to offer maximum support to the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. I am happy that today all our states and union territories of the country have joined the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan and almost all the departments have started working together. A huge database of information related to different infrastructure projects of the central and state governments has been prepared. You will be surprised to know that today data from the central and state governments in about 1500 layers has been uploaded on the PM GatiShakti portal. All such information regarding the projects, the forest land and the defence land etc are now available at a single place. This has improved the planning of infra projects, accelerated the clearances and fixed the problems that were noticed later. The infrastructure gaps that existed earlier are being plugged rapidly due to the PM GatiShakti Plan. I remember how there was a tendency in the past to declare infrastructure projects without any careful planning and they were delayed for several decades. The country’s logistics sector has suffered a huge loss due to this. The logistics policy that I am talking about also has a human interface. If we run these systems properly, then no truck driver will have to sleep outside at night. He can also come home at night to sleep after completing his duty. All these arrangements can be planned easily. And what a great service it would be! What I mean to say is that this policy in itself has the potential to change the entire way of thinking of the country. Friends, The GatiShakti and National Logistics Policy together are now heralding the country towards a new work culture. We have recently approved the Gati Shakti University i.e. we have also done the work of Human Resource Development along with it. The policy is being launched today. The talent that will come out of the Gati Shakti University is also going to help it a lot. Friends, In the midst of these efforts, it is also important for us to understand that today the world’s attitude towards India is changing. Today the world is evaluating India in a very positive manner, though it takes a while in our country for the same. It is happening outside India. The world has a lot of expectations from India and many of you who have relatives abroad must be telling you during their visit. Major experts of the world are saying that India is emerging as a ‘democratic superpower’ today. The experts and democratic superpowers are deeply impressed by the ‘extra-ordinary talent ecosystem’ of India. Experts are praising India’s determination and progress. And this is no mere coincidence. The kind of resilience shown by India and the Indian economy in the midst of a global crisis has given new confidence to the world. The reforms that India has undertaken in the last few years and the policies it has implemented are really unprecedented. Therefore, the world’s trust in India has increased and is growing continuously. We have to fully live up to this trust of the world. It is our responsibility and missing such an opportunity will not be advantageous for us. I am sure the National Logistics Policy which has been launched today will help in bringing a new momentum in every sphere of life of the country. Friends, There will be no one among you who does not want our country to become a developed country. There will be no such person in India which is determined to become developed. The problem lies when we leave it to others. We have to change and we have to do it together. India with the resolve of a developed country now has to compete aggressively with developed countries. We should bear this in mind that as we become stronger, our competition will be fierce. And we should welcome this, we should not hesitate. Come, we are ready, that should be our attitude. Therefore, I feel that our every product, every initiative and our every process should be very competitive as well. Be it service sector, manufacturing, automobiles, or electronics, we have to make big goals in every sector and achieve them. Today, the world’s attraction to products made in India should not be limited to just patting us on the back. Friends, we should think about capturing the world market. Everybody in the world is taking note of India’s agricultural products, mobile phones or the BrahMos missiles. Vaccines and medicines made in India during the Corona period have helped in saving the lives of millions of people of the world. I returned from Uzbekistan in the morning today. I was talking to the President of Uzbekistan last night. It was late, but still he was telling me so enthusiastically about yoga. He said there was a kind of hatred towards yoga in Uzbekistan earlier. But he said the situation has changed so much and yoga has become so popular in every nook and corner of his country that they need trainers from India. What I mean to say is that the thinking of the world towards India is changing very fast, friends. For products made in India to dominate the world markets, it is equally important to have a strong support system in the country. The National Logistics Policy will go a long way in modernizing this support system. And friends, As you are aware that when the country’s exports increase, the logistics related problems in the country are reduced, then our small industries and the people working in them stand to benefit the most. Strengthening of the logistics sector will not only make the life of common man easier but will also help in increasing the respect of labor and workers. Friends, Now the problems associated with India’s logistics sector will end, expectations will increase and this sector will now take the country’s success to new heights. The National Logistics Policy has immense potential for development of infrastructure, expansion of business and increasing employment opportunities. We have to realize these possibilities together. With this resolve, once again many best wishes to all of you. I expect you to transport goods at the speed of a cheetah.

It controls the system’s impulse to interfere. A strong government is not restrictive but is responsive. A strong government does not move into every domain. It limits itself and makes space for people’s talents” The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi attended the 42nd Convocation of Anna University in Chennai today. Governor of Tamil Nadu, Shri R N Ravi, Chief Minister Shri M K Stalin, Union Minister Shri L Murugan were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister congratulated the students on getting their degrees. “Congratulations to all those who are graduating today in Anna University’s 42nd convocation. You would have already built a future for yourselves in your minds. Therefore, today is not only a day of achievements but also of aspirations”, he said. Calling them the leaders of tomorrow, the Prime Minister also noted the sacrifices of the parents and support of teachers and non teaching staff of the University. The Prime Minister recalled the words of Swami Vivekananda in what was known as Madras 125 years ago about the possibilities from the youth of India. The Prime Minister remarked that “the whole world is looking at India’s youth with hope. Because you are the growth engines of the country and India is the world’s growth engine.” The Prime Minister also recalled Former President Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam’s association with Anna University. “May his thoughts and values always inspire you”, said the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister noted that the COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented event. It was a once-in-a-century crisis that nobody had any user manual for. It tested every country. He remarked that adversities reveal what we are made of. India faced the unknown confidently, thanks to its scientists, healthcare professionals and common people. As a result, he said, every sector in India is bustling with a new life. Industry, investment, innovation or international trade, all are seeing India at the forefront. The Prime Minister said India was the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer last year. Innovation is becoming a way of life. In just the last 6 years, the number of recognised start-ups increased by 15,000 percent, he said. The Prime Minister informed that India received a record FDI of over 83 billion dollars last year. Our start-ups too received record funding post-pandemic. Above all this, India’s position in the international trade dynamics is at its best ever. In this era of tech-led disruptions, the Prime Minister said there are three important factors in India’s favour. The first factor is there is a taste for technology. There is a growing sense of comfort with the use of technology. Even the poorest of the poor are adapting to it. “The second factor is there is trust in risk-takers. Earlier at social occasions it was difficult for a youngster to say he or she was an entrepreneur. People used to tell them to ‘get settled’, meaning, get a salaried job. Now the situation is the opposite. The third factor is: there is temperament for reform.” The Prime Minister continued that earlier, “there was a notion that a strong government means it should control everything and everyone. But we have changed this. A strong government does not control everything or everyone. It controls the system’s impulse to interfere. A strong government is not restrictive but is responsive. A strong government does not move into every domain. It limits itself and makes space for people’s talents”, he elaborated. He further emphasised that “A strong government’s strength lies in its humility to accept that it can not know or do everything”, This why reforms are making greater space for people and their talent in every space. He gave examples of freedom and flexibility provided to youth by the National Education Policy and scrapping of 25,000 compliances for ease of business. “Removal of angel tax, removal of retrospective tax, and reduction of corporate tax – are encouraging investments and industry. The reforms in drones, space and geospatial sectors are opening up new avenues”, he said. The Prime Minister underlined the link between the progress of youth and the nation. He said in conclusion “Your growth is India’s growth. Your learnings are India’s learnings. Your victory is India’s victory.” During the programme, the Prime Minister awarded gold medals and certificates to 69 gold medalists. Anna University was established on 4 September 1978. It is named after C. N. Annadurai, the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. It has 13 Constituent Colleges, 494 Affiliated Colleges spread over Tamil Nadu and 3 Regional Campuses – Tirunelveli, Madurai and Coimbatore.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে চেন্নাইৰ আন্না বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ৰ ৪২ সংখ্যক দীক্ষান্ত সমাৰোহত সম্বোধন কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-maharashtra-samriddhi-mahamarg-nagpur/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated Phase – I of Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg in Nagpur today, which covers a distance of 520 kilometres and connects Nagpur and Shirdi.

Background The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated Phase – I of Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg, covering a distance of 520 Kms and connecting Nagpur and Shirdi. Samruddhi Mahamarg or Nagpur-Mumbai Super Communication Expressway Project is a major step towards realising the Prime Minister’s vision of improved connectivity and infrastructure across the country. The 701 Km expressway – being built at a cost of about Rs 55,000 crore – is one of India’s longest expressways, passing through Maharashtra’s 10 districts and prominent urban regions of Amravati, Aurangabad and Nashik. The expressway will also help improve the connectivity of adjoining 14 other districts, thus helping in the development of about 24 districts of the state including the regions of Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra. Espousing the Prime Minister’s vision of integrated planning and coordinated implementation of infrastructure connectivity projects under PM Gati Shakti, the Samruddhi Mahamarg will connect to the Delhi Mumbai Expressway, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and tourist locations like Ajanta Ellora Caves, Shirdi, Verul, Lonar, etc. Samruddhi Mahamarg will be a game-changer in providing a major boost to the economic development of Maharashtra.",নাগপুৰত মহাৰাষ্ট্ৰ সমৃদ্ধি মহামাৰ্গ উদ্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-attends-the-bihu-celebrations-at-the-residence-of-union-minister-sarbananda-sonowal-in-new-delhi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%AE/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has attended the Bihu Celebrations at the residence of Union Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal in New Delhi.

The scheme covers the entire urban area of the country, i.e., all statutory towns as per Census 2011 and towns notified subsequently, including Notified Planning/ Development Areas. The scheme is being implemented through four verticals: Beneficiary Led Construction/ Enhancement (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), In-situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS).

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister conveyed his heartiest congratulations on the grand event of ‘Kalam no Carnival’. The Prime Minister expressed delight that the tradition of the book fair started by ‘Nav Bharat Sahitya Mandir’ in Ahmedabad is getting richer with each passing year. The Prime Minister acknowledged that the book fair has become a platform for new and young writers, and it is also helping in expanding the literature and knowledge of Gujarat. The Prime Minister congratulated Navbharat Sahitya Mandir and all its members for this rich tradition. The Prime Minister added that ‘Kalam no Carnival’ is a huge convention of books in Hindi, English and Gujarati languages. Shri Modi mentioned that when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the state had also started the ‘Vanche Gujarat’ campaign, and today, campaigns like the ‘Kalam no Carnival’ are only taking that resolve of Gujarat forward. He further added that both books and texts are the basic elements of our Vidya Upasana. “There is a very old tradition of libraries in Gujarat.” The Prime Minister highlighted the contributions of Vadodara Maharaja Sayajirao Gaikwad ji who established libraries in all the villages of his area, Maharaja Bhagwat Singh Ji of Gondal who gave a huge dictionary called ‘Bhagwat Gomandal’, and the heroic poet Narmad who edited ‘Narm Kosh’. The Prime Minister said, “The history of Gujarat has been very rich in terms of books, authors, literary creation. I would like that such book fairs reach the people in every corner of Gujarat, especially the youth so that they get to know about the rich history and get inspired. The Prime Minister drew everyone’s attention that the book fair is taking place during the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. He further added that reviving the history of our freedom struggle is one of the key facets of Amrit Mahotsav. “We are bringing the glory of the forgotten chapters of the freedom struggle before the country. Events like ‘Kalam no Carnival’ can give impetus to this campaign in the country”, the Prime Minister said. He stressed that special importance should be given to books related to the freedom struggle and such writers should be provided with a strong platform. The Prime Minister added, “I am sure this event will prove to be a positive medium in this direction.” The Prime Minister reiterated that one should study the scriptures, texts and books, again and again for them to remain effective and useful. He further elaborated that it is even more important in today’s day and age where people tend to take the help of the internet. “Technology is undoubtedly an important source of information for us, but it is not the way to replace books, the study of books.” The Prime Minister said that when information is in our mind, the brain processes that information deeply, and it gives rise to new dimensions. “This opens the way for new research and innovation. Books become our best friend in this”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister concluded his address by stressing that it is extremely important to indulge in the habit of reading books, especially in a world that is rapidly changing. “Whether the books are in physical form or in digital form!”, he said, “I believe, such events will play a big role in creating the necessary attraction for books among the youth and help them in understanding their importance.”",আহমেদাবাদত নৱভাৰত সাহিত্য মন্দিৰৰ উদ্যোগত আয়োজিত ‘কালাম ন’ কাৰ্নিভাল’ গ্ৰন্থমেলাৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত ভিডিঅ’ বাৰ্তাৰ জৰিয়তে ভাষণ আগবঢ়ায় প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-signing-of-mou-between-india-and-jordan-on-cooperation-in-the-field-of-manpower/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the proposal for signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India and Jordan on Cooperation in the Field of Manpower.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that today is a momentous day for the Adivasi and tribal communities of Gujarat. The Prime Minister recalled visiting Mangarh earlier in the day and paying his tributes to Govind Guru and thousands of tribal freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for India’s freedom. Recalling his long association with the area, the Prime Minister expressed great pride in being present at Jambughoda which has been a witness to the great sacrifice of the tribal community of India. “Today we are all full of pride as we salute the immortal fighters like Shaheed Joriya Parmeshwar, Roop Singh Nayak, Galaliya Nayak, Ravjida Nayak and Babariya Galma Nayak”, the Prime Minister said. Today, the Prime Minister said, hundreds of crores worth of projects related to health, education and skill development of the entire region are being inaugurated and the foundation stone is being laid. Referring to the new administrative campus of Govind Guru University and Kendriya Vidyalaya, the Prime Minister said that these projects will help our tribal children a lot. Comparing Jambughoda to a holy place, the Prime Minister recalled its glorious history of tribal bravery and fight for freedom. He talked of the Naikda movement that gave impetus to the revolution of 1857. Parmeshwar Joriya expanded the movement and Roop Singh Nayak also joined him. He fought together with Tatya Tope, who played a leading role in the revolt of 1857, the Prime Minister recalled. The Prime Minister recalled the occasion when he got the opportunity to bow before the tree where these bravehearts were hanged by the Britishers. A book too was released there in 2012. The Prime Minister recalled a tradition started long ago in Gujarat of naming schools after martyrs. Primary schools of Vadek and Dandiyapura were named after Sant Joriya Parmeshwar and Roop Singh Nayak. Today, the Prime Minister informed, these schools have acquired a completely new look. A grand statue of both tribal heroes has been inaugurated in these schools that have now become important centres of both education and the contribution of tribal society to the freedom struggle, he said. The Prime Minister recalled the development gap created by the earlier government that he inherited when he was given the chance to serve Gujarat two decades ago. There was a great lack of basic facilities for education, nutrition and water in the tribal areas. “To deal with this situation, we worked in the spirit of Sabka Prayas”, he said, “Our tribal brothers and sisters took charge of the change and the government, being a friend to them, extended all possible help.” The Prime Minister pointed out that the change is not a result of a single day’s work but it is the round-the-clock efforts of lakhs of tribal families. The Prime Minister gave examples of 10 thousand new schools from primary to secondary levels that began in the tribal belt, dozens of Eklavya Model Schools, special residential schools for daughters, and ashram shalas. The Prime Minister also noted the facilities of free travel on buses provided to the daughters and the availability of nutritious food in schools. Recalling the Kanya Shiksha Rath, the Prime Minister highlighted the efforts of the government to persuade people to send their daughters to school. He also pointed out the absence of scientific education in school as another challenge that marred the tribal belt and informed that in the last two decades, 11 science colleges, 11 commerce colleges, 23 arts colleges and hundreds of hostels were opened in tribal districts. The Prime Minister also threw light on the severe shortage of schools in tribal areas 20-25 years ago. “Today there are 2 tribal universities, Govind Guru University in Godhra and Birsa Munda University in Narmada that make for the finest institutions of higher education” he added. The Prime Minister further elaborated that the facilities at Govind Guru University will be further expanded after the inauguration of the new campus. He also mentioned that the new campus of the Skill University of Ahmedabad will also benefit the youth of all tribal areas including Panchmahal. “This is the first university in the country which has got the recognition to grant a Drone Pilot Licence”, Shri Modi underlined. Throwing light on the huge role that Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana has played in the all-round development of tribal districts in the last decades, the Prime Minister said that in the last 14-15 years, more than Rs 1 lakh crore has been spent under this scheme in tribal areas. He also informed that the Gujarat government has decided to further spend Rs 1 lakh crore in the coming years. Giving insights into the overall development of the region the Prime Minister gave examples of piped water facilities, micro-irrigation, and the emphasis on the dairy sector in tribal areas. He also informed that Sakhi Mandals were formed to empower tribal sisters and increase their income. Underlining that the tribal youth should get the benefits of rapid industrialization in Gujarat, the Prime Minister mentioned the opening up of many modern training centres such as Vocational Centres, ITIs and Kisan Vikas Kendras that have helped around 18 lakh tribal youth acquire training and get placement. Highlighting the menace of sickle cell disease 20-25 years ago, the Prime Minister pointed out that the tribal districts lacked dispensaries and had negligible facilities for large hospitals and medical colleges. “Today”, he said, “the double-engine government has established hundreds of small hospitals at the village level and opened up more than 1400 health and wellness centres in the tribal areas. He noted that the work on the new building of Godhra Medical College will reduce the burden on medical colleges built in Dahod, Banaskantha, and Valsad. “Due to Sabka Prayas, good roads have reached every village in the tribal districts with 24 hours electricity.” He informed that the tribal district of Dang was the first district in Gujarat to have 24 hours electricity which resulted in the expansion of industries in tribal areas. “Along with the Golden Corridor of Gujarat, twin cities are being developed. Industrial development is happening rapidly in Halol-Kalol”, he informed. Highlighting the efforts of the central government in the upliftment of tribal societies in India, the Prime Minister informed that it was the BJP government that created a separate ministry for the tribal society for the first time and implemented a successful scheme like Van Dhan. Furthering his point, the Prime Minister gave examples of the government abolishing the law banning the cultivation and sale of bamboo that had been going on since the British era, ending the continuous neglect of forest produce, giving the benefit of MSP to the tribals on more than 80 different forest produces, and working towards increasing the pride of the tribals while making their life easier. “For the first time, the tribal society has a feeling of increased participation in development and policy-making”, the Prime Minister said. He informed of the government’s decision to celebrate the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas. The Prime Minister also underlined the continuous effort of the double-engine government towards the poor, downtrodden, backward, and tribal communities. The Prime Minister gave examples of the free ration scheme, free covid vaccines, treatment up to Rs 5 lakh for the poor, assisting pregnant women so that they get nutritious food, and PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna for small farmers to avail loans for fertilisers, seeds, electricity bills etc. “Be it direct help or facilities like pucca houses, toilets, gas connections, and water connections, the biggest beneficiaries of these are tribals, dalits, and backward families”, Shri Modi stated. Throwing light on the history of tribal heroes who played a huge role in saving India’s culture and faith, the Prime Minister gave examples of Champaner, Pavagadh, Somnath, and Haldighati. He remarked, “Now the Pavagadh temple has been renovated and the flag is hoisted in full glory. Similarly, be it Ambaji Mata’s Dham and Devmogra Maa’s temple, continuous efforts are also being made for their development.” The Prime Minister recognised the crucial role played by tourism to boost employment. He mentioned places like Panchmahal which is very rich from the point of view of tourism, Champaner-Pavagadh which is famous for ancient architecture, wildlife in Jambughoda, Hathni Mata Waterfall, eco-tourism sites in Dhanpuri, Kada Dam, Dhaneshwari Mata Temple, and Jand Hanuman Ji.and underlined that in the days to come, these places will be developed as a tourism circuit and will create new employment opportunities. “The development of places of pride for tribals and places of faith will give a lot of impetus to tourism”, he added. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister praised the wide scope of development of the double-engine government and mentioned that the benefits of development reach everyone. “Our intention is clear, to bring change on the ground with hard work and dedication. Together we will build a developed Gujarat, and a developed India”, he concluded. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Members of Parliament, and Ministers of Gujarat Government were those present on occasion.

The economic, social and cultural relations of India and Saudi Arabia are centuries old. And they have always been cordial and friendly. The close and intense contact between our people is a living bridge for our countries. Your Majesty’s, and Royal Highness, your personal interest and guidance have brought more intensity, depth and strength in our bilateral relations. The personal interest and the guidance of His Majesty and yourself Royal Highness, has brought more intensity, depth and strength in our bilateral relations. Today, in the 21st century, Saudi Arabia is among India’s most valuable strategic partners. It is in our extended neighborhood, is a close friend and is also an important source of energy security of India. During my visit to Saudi Arabia in 2016, we had given many new dimensions to our relations, especially in the areas of energy and security. As a result of the meeting with you in Argentina two months ago, the essence of our strategic partnership has taken new dimensions in the areas of security, trade and investment. I am happy that according to your suggested outline, we have agreed to establish the Biennial Summit and Strategic Partnership Council. These will benefit our relations by providing them with strength, speed and progress. Friends, Today, we have made extensive and meaningful discussions on all the topics of bilateral relations. We have decided to take our economic cooperation to newer heights. We have agreed to establish a framework to facilitate institutional investment from Saudi Arabia into our economy. I welcome the investment of Saudi Arabia in India’s infrastructure. Your Royal Highness, Your ‘Vision 2030’ and the economic reforms being carried out under your leadership are complementary to India’s flagship programs such as ‘Make in India’, ‘Start-Up India’. It’s time to turn our energy relations into a strategic partnership. Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the world’s largest refinery and strategic petroleum reserves takes our energy relations far beyond the typical buyer-seller relationship. We have agreed to strengthen our cooperation in the areas of renewable energy. We welcome Saudi Arabia in the International Solar Alliance. The peaceful use of atomic energy, especially for water desalination and health, will be another dimension of our cooperation. Especially in the context of our strategic environment, we have also successfully discussed the strengthening and expanding of mutual defense cooperation. Last year, India was the ‘Guest of Honor’ at the prestigious Janradriyah festival in Saudi Arabia. Today we have set the goal of strengthening our cultural ties. To increase trade and tourism facility of e-Visa is being extended for the citizens of Saudi Arabia. We are grateful to His Majesty and Royal Highness for increasing the Haj quota for Indians. Peaceful and useful presence of 2.7 million Indian nationals in Saudi Arabia is an important link between us. Royal Highness has praised their positive contribution in the progress of Saudi Arabia. You have always taken care of their well-being. For this their gratitude and blessings are always with you. Friends, The brutal terrorist attack in Pulwama last week is another cruel reminder of the threat to humanity that has caused havoc on the world. In order to deal effectively with this threat, we agree that there is a need to increase all possible pressure on countries supporting any type of terrorism. Destroying the infrastructure of terrorism and ending its support and punishing terrorists and their supporters is very important. At the same time, cooperation against extremism and along with that there is a strong need of an action plan for this, so that the forces of violence and terror cannot mislead our youth. I am glad that Saudi Arabia and India have shared views about this. Friends, Both our two countries have shared interests in ensuring peace and stability in West Asia and the Gulf. In our talks today, it has been agreed to co-ordinate our work and to speed up our participation in this area. We have also agreed that stronger bilateral cooperation in areas such as counter terrorism, maritime security and cyber security will be beneficial for both the countries. Your Royal Highness, Your journey has given a new dimension to the rapid development of our relationships. I once again thank the Royal Highness for accepting our invitation. I also wish him and all the members of the delegation to have a pleasant stay in India. Thanks a lot.",ছৌদি আৰৱৰ সম্ৰাটৰ ভাৰত ভ্ৰমণকালত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ প্ৰেছ বিবৃতি https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/my-mother-is-as-simple-as-she-is-extraordinary-pm-modis-emotional-blog-as-his-mother-enters-her-hundredth-year/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8B%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%87-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%9C-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BF/,"As his mother is entering her hundredth year, PM Narendra Modi penned an emotional blog. He recollected some special moments from his childhood that he spent with his mother. He recalled several sacrifices made by his mother as he grew up and mentioned various qualities of his mother that have shaped his mind, personality, and self-confidence. “Today, I feel extremely happy and fortunate to share that my mother Smt. Heeraba Modi is entering her hundredth year. This is going to be her birth centenary year.” wrote PM Modi. A symbol of resilience Recalling hardships his mother faced during her childhood, PM Modi said, “My Mother is as simple as she is extraordinary. Just like all mothers.” At a tender age, PM Modi’s mother lost her mother. He said, “She does not even remember my grandmother’s face or the comfort of her lap. She spent her entire childhood without her mother.” He recalled the tiny house in Vadnagar with mud walls and clay tiles for a roof where he stayed with his parents and siblings. He mentioned innumerable everyday adversities that his mother encountered and successfully overcame. He mentioned how his mother not only did all household chores by herself but also worked to supplement the meagre household income. She used to wash utensils at a few houses and take out time to spin the charkha to help meet the household expenses. PM Modi reminisced “During the rains, our roof would leak, and the house would flood. Mother would place buckets and utensils below the leaks to collect the rainwater. Even in this adverse situation, Mother would be a symbol of resilience”. Deep respect for those engaged in cleanliness Cleanliness, PM Modi said, was something that his mother had always been extremely particular about. He shared several instances which gave a glimpse of his mother being very particular about maintaining cleanliness. PM Modi said that his mother had a deep respect for those involved in cleaning and sanitation. Whenever someone would come to clean the drain adjacent to their house in Vadnagar, his mother wouldn’t let them go without giving them tea. Finding happiness in others’ joys PM Modi mentioned that his mother would find happiness in other people’s joys and was extremely large hearted. He recalled “A close friend of my father used to stay in a nearby village. After his untimely death, my father brought his friend’s son, Abbas, to our home. He stayed with us and completed his studies. Mother was as affectionate and caring towards Abbas just like she did for all of us siblings. Every year on Eid, she used to prepare his favourite dishes. On festivals, it was commonplace for neighbourhood kids to come to our house and enjoy Mother’s special preparations.” PM Modi’s mother has publicly accompanied him on only two occasions In the blog post, PM Modi highlighted the only two instances when his mother accompanied him publicly. Once, it was at a public function in Ahmedabad when she applied tilak on his forehead after he had returned from Srinagar where he had hoisted the national flag at Lal Chowk completing the Ekta Yatra. The second instance was when PM Modi first took oath as Gujarat’s Chief Minister in 2001. A life lesson PM Modi’s mother taught him PM Modi wrote that his mother made him realise that it was possible to be learned without being formally educated. He shared an incident when he wanted to publicly honour all his teachers, including his biggest teacher – his mother. However, his mother declined saying, “See, I am an ordinary person. I may have given birth to you, but you have been taught and brought up by the Almighty.” PM Modi further added that though his mother did not come to the event, she made sure that he called someone from Jethabhai Joshi Ji’s family – his local teacher, who taught him alphabets. “Her thought process and farsighted thinking have always surprised me,” he said. A dutiful citizen PM Modi’s mentioned that as a dutiful citizen his mother has voted in every election since the time elections began, from Panchayat to Parliament. Leading an extremely simple lifestyle Reflecting on his mother’s extremely simple lifestyle, PM Modi wrote that even today, there are no assets in his mother’s name. “I have never seen her wear any gold ornaments, and she has no interest either. Like earlier, she continues to lead an extremely simple lifestyle in her small room.” the PM stated. Remaining abreast with current developments PM Modi’s said that his mother remains abreast with current developments in the world. He mentioned in his blog. “Recently, I asked her how long she watches TV every day. She replied that most people on TV are busy fighting with each other, and she only watches those who calmly read out the news and explain everything. I was pleasantly surprised that Mother keeps track of so much.” Sharp memory despite her age PM Modi shared another instance from 2017 that showcases his mother’s alertness despite her old age. In 2017, PM Modi had gone to meet her directly from Kashi and had carried prasad for her. “When I met Mother, she immediately asked me if I had paid obeisance to Kashi Vishwanath Mahadev. Mother still uses the full name – Kashi Vishwanath Mahadev. Then during the conversation, she asked me if the lanes that lead to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple are still the same, as if there is a temple inside someone’s household premises. I was surprised and asked when she visited the temple. She revealed that she had gone to Kashi many years back, but surprisingly remembered everything,” said PM Modi. Respecting other’s choices PM Modi further elaborated that his mother not only respects others’ choices but also refrains from imposing her preferences. “In my own case especially, she respected my decisions, never created any hurdles, and encouraged me. Since childhood, she could feel that a different mindset grew inside me.” mentioned PM Modi. It was PM Modi’s mother who gave him full support when he had decided to leave his home. Understanding his desires and blessing him, his mother said, “Do as your mind says.” Focus on Garib Kalyan PM Modi said that his mother has always inspired him to have a strong resolve and focus on garib kalyan. He shared an instance from 2001 when he had been declared as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. After reaching Gujarat, PM Modi went straight to meet his mother. She was extremely ecstatic and told him, “I don’t understand your work in the government, but I just want you to never take a bribe.” His mother keeps assuring him that he should not worry about her and remain focused on the larger responsibilities. Whenever he speaks to her on the phone, his mother says, “Never do anything wrong or anything bad with anyone and keep working for the poor.” Mantra of life – Hardwork PM Modi said that his parents’ honesty and self-respect have been their biggest qualities. Despite struggling with poverty and its accompanying challenges, PM Modi said that his parents never left the path of honesty or compromised on their self-respect. Constant hardwork was their foremost mantra to overcome any challenge! An icon of Matrushakti PM Modi further added, “In my mother’s life story, I see the penance, sacrifice, and contribution of India’s matrushakti. Whenever I look at Mother and crores of women like her, I find there is nothing that is unachievable for Indian women.” PM Modi encapsulated his mother’s inspiring life story in a few words “Far beyond every tale of deprivation, is the glorious story of a mother, Far above every struggle, is the strong resolve of a mother.”","“মোৰ মা যিমানেই সহজ-সৰল, সিমানেই অসাধাৰণ”: মাতৃৰ ১০০ বছৰীয়া জন্মদিনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী মোদীৰ আৱেগিক ব্লগ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-signing-of-mou-in-the-field-of-judicial-cooperation-between-judicial-service-commission-of-maldives/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%B0/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the field of Judicial Cooperation between India and Judicial Service Commission of the Republic of Maldives.

Today’s ‘Utkarsh Samaroh’ is really praiseworthy and it is a testimony that when the government reaches the beneficiary with a resolution and sincerity then it leads to productive outcomes. I congratulate Bharuch district administration and the Gujarat government for 100 percent saturation coverage of four social security schemes. You all deserve many congratulations. When I was interacting with the beneficiaries of these schemes, I could sense satisfaction and confidence in them. If somebody gets even a small help from the government while coping with challenges, he becomes emboldened and problems become constrained. I could sense this today while talking to you. The families, who have benefited from these four schemes, are the brothers and sisters of my tribal society, Dalit-backward class and minority communities. Often we see that many people are deprived of the benefits of the schemes in the absence of information. Sometimes, schemes remain on paper. Sometimes, some unscrupulous people take advantage of schemes. But when there is an intention to do something good, which I always try to do with the spirit of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, it yields results. Access of any scheme to 100 percent beneficiaries is a huge task. It is tough but it is the right way. I have to congratulate all the beneficiaries and the administration for this achievement. Friends, It would be eight years since you sent me from Gujarat to Delhi to serve the country. These eight years have been dedicated to service, good governance and welfare of the poor. Whatever I am able to do today is due to what I learned from you. Living in the midst of you, I have experienced very closely what is development, pains, poverty and problems. And it is this experience with which I am working as a family member for the crores of citizens of the country. It has been the constant effort of the government that no beneficiary should be left out of the schemes meant for the welfare of the poor. Everyone who is entitled should get the full benefit. And my dear brothers and sisters, when we achieve a 100 percent target in any scheme, then it is not just a figure or to be advertised in newspapers. It means governance and administration is sensitive and companion of your happiness and sorrows. This is its biggest proof. Now that our government is on the verge of completing eight years, we are preparing to move forward with a new resolve and new energy. Once, a senior leader, who has been continuously opposing us politically, met me. But I respect him too. He was agitated over some issues and came to see me. He said what more you have to do now that the country has made you Prime Minister twice. He thought a lot has happened now that I have become Prime Minister twice. But he did not know that Modi is from a different soil. This land of Gujarat has prepared him. I can’t rest. My dream is saturation, to move forward towards the 100% target. Let the government machinery get used to discipline and we should also instill confidence in the citizens. You will remember that when you gave us the opportunity to serve in 2014, almost half of the country’s population was deprived of toilet facilities, vaccinations, electricity connections, bank accounts, etc. Over the years, we have been able to bring many schemes closer to 100% saturation with everyone’s efforts. Now, on this important milestone of eight years, we have to move forward with everyone’s efforts once again and work hard to ensure that every needy, every entitled person, gets his due. I said earlier such tasks are difficult and politicians are also afraid to take up such tasks. But I have not come to do politics, but to serve the countrymen only. The country has taken a pledge to reach 100% beneficiaries for schemes. The psychological change that comes with cent percent access is very important. Firstly, the citizen of the country gets out of the state of hardship and the feeling that he is standing in a queue to ask for something goes away. A belief is created in him that this is my country, this is my government, this is my right on money and this is the right of the citizens of my country. When this feeling is born within him it also sows the seeds of duty in him. Friends, When there is saturation, then the scope of discrimination ends. No recommendation is needed. Everyone believes that the other person might have gotten it earlier, but he will also get it, maybe after two or six months. The one who gives it also can’t claim any credit and can’t discriminate. Today, the country has resolved to reach 100% beneficiaries, and when it happens, the politics of appeasement ends. There is no room for it. To reach 100% beneficiaries means to reach the last person in society. There is a government for those who have no support. The government has resolutions and it walks with him as his partner. I have to instill this belief among the tribal community living in the far flung forests, the poor mothers and sisters living in slums and anybody who lives alone in old age that we have tried to provide their rightful dues at their doorsteps. Friends, The 100% coverage of beneficiaries means nobody from any faith, sect and class should be left behind in every scheme for the welfare of the poor. This is a huge resolution. The Rakhi that the widowed mothers have presented me today is very big. This is not only a thread, but you have given me the strength to realize the dreams with which we have moved forward. I consider this Rakhi to be a priceless gift. It will give me inspiration, courage and support in aiming for the service of the poor and 100 percent saturation (of schemes). This is what ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Vishwas’ all about. Today this Rakhi has been made due to the efforts of the widowed mothers. When I was in Gujarat (as Chief Minister), there used to be occasional reports regarding my security. Once there was news regarding my illness. I often used to say that as long as I have the protective shield from my crores of mothers and sisters, nobody can cause any harm to me. I can see today the blessings of my mothers and sisters remain with me at every step, at every moment. No matter what I do, I can’t repay the debt of these mothers and sisters. It is because of this upbringing that I dared to speak once from the Red Fort. I am reiterating that it is a difficult task to motivate and take all the states along, to put all the government employees for it. But this is the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of Independence, the 75 years of independence. I had spoken about the saturation of schemes for basic amenities in this ‘Amrit Kaal’ from the Red Fort. Our campaign of cent percent service is a great medium for social justice. I am happy that the government of Gujarat under the leadership of the soft-spoken Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel is working with full dedication to fulfill this resolve. Friends, If I have to describe in one word the government’s campaign of saturation of social security and public welfare then it is the dignity of the poor. The government, resolutions and values for the dignity of the poor! That’s what inspires us. Earlier, we often used to cite examples of other smaller countries regarding social security. The scope and impact of whatever efforts made to implement them in India have largely been very limited. But the country widened its scope and took everyone along after 2014 and the result is in front of all of us. More than 50 crore countrymen got the facility of free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh, crores of them got the facility of accident and life insurance up to Rs 4 lakh and crores of Indians got a fixed pension scheme after 60 years of age. The poor used to spend their entire life by making rounds of government offices for facilities such as a pucca house, toilet, gas connection, electricity connection, water connection, bank account, etc. They would become tired. Our government changed all this situation, improved the plans, set new goals and we are achieving them continuously. As part of these efforts, farmers got direct help for the first time. No one ever cared for small farmers and there are 90% small farmers in our country who barely have two acres of land. We made a scheme for those small farmers. The bankers would not entertain our fishermen. We started using Kisan Credit Card for fishermen. Not only this, the street vendors have got financial help from the banks under the PM Svanidhi scheme for the first time. I would like our C.R. Patil and the workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party to expand this campaign of ensuring financial help to the street vendors under the Svanidhi scheme so their businesses should be free from the vicious circle of interest, whatever they earn should benefit their households to all the cities, be it Bharuch, Ankleshwar, or Valia. I should have met the people of Bharuch in person as I haven’t come for a long time. I have a very old relationship with Bharuch. And Bharuch has been a center of trade and cultural heritage for thousands of years. There was a time when Bharuch was known for uniting the world. Bharuch-Ankleshwar, which was known for its cultural heritage, is now ruling in the field of trade and business. Bharuch-Ankleshwar has now become a twin city which no one could have imagined before. I remember everything when I lived here. Today Bharuch district is carving its name in modern development. Many development works are being carried out. It is natural that when I am amongst the people of Bharuch, then the memories of all those people come to my mind. I am in touch with many people and senior friends. Many years ago when I used to work for the (Rashtriya Swayamsevak) Sangh, I would often walk down to Muktinagar Society after getting down from bus to meet Moolchandbhai Chauhan, Bipinbhai Shah, Shankarbhai Gandhi and many other friends. When I see you I miss my brave friend Shirish Bengali very much who lived for the society. And I still remember Panchbatti Circle after coming out of Lallubhai Street. Those who are 20-25 years old would not even be aware of the condition of Panchbatti and Lallubhai Street. The road was so narrow and there were so many pitfalls that it was difficult to drive on a scooter. I remember it vividly as I used to go there. At that time, I never got an opportunity to hold a public meeting. Long ago, the people of Bharuch got hold of me in Shaktinagar Society. I was not in politics then. It must be 40 years now. A meeting was held in Shaktinagar Society. And to my surprise, there was not even a place to stand in the Society. So many people came to bless me. I was not a known figure, yet there was a huge gathering. I was nobody in politics then, I was a fresher and learning. I met so many journalist friends. I told them after my speech that you write it down that the Congress will never ever win in Bharuch. I said at that time, about 40 years ago. Everybody started laughing and made fun of me. Today, I have to say that I was proven right because of the love and blessings of the people of Bharuch. I received so much love from Bharuch and tribal families because I used to travel all the villages and got the opportunity to live among many tribal families and to be with them in their happiness and sorrows. I worked with Chandubhai Deshmukh and later our Mansukhbhai took over all the responsibilities. Having worked with so many friends and people during those days, it would really have been a pleasure to meet you in person. Even when I am so far away, all the memories are getting refreshed. I still remember that the condition of the roads used to be so poor that vegetables would often drop from the cart of the vegetable seller. Whenever I would pass by that road and see the bag of the poor turned upside down, I would collect it and hand it over to him. I worked in Bharuch in such a situation. And today all-round development is happening in Bharuch. Roads have improved and Bharuch district has progressed rapidly in improving life, educational institutions and health. There have been several tribal Chief Ministers in Gujarat from the tribal belt from Umargaon to Ambaji. But there were no science schools. I started them after becoming the Chief Minister. And if there are no science schools, then how can someone become an engineer or a doctor? Just now our Yaqubbhai was mentioning about his daughter planning to become a doctor. It became possible only after the exercise was initiated. Today the change has come. Similarly, it is with the industrial development in Bharuch. There are hardly any means of transport which are not there in Bharuch, be it the main line, freight corridor, bullet trains, or expressways. In a way, Bharuch is becoming the dream district of the youth and the city of aspirations of the youth is expanding further. Now the name of Bharuch or Rapipla is shining in India and the world after the Statue of Unity on the isle of Maa Narmada (river). If one has to go to the Statue of Unity, he has to go from either Bharuch or Rajpipla. I remember drinking water was a problem for those living on the banks of Narmada. We found its solution by creating a reservoir and restricting the salt water of the sea so that Kevadia remains replete with Narmada waters. Work is also going on so that there will be no problem with drinking water in the future. I congratulate Bhupendrabhai for taking forward the development works. You can’t even imagine the gains that will entail. Friends, I am happy to meet you. It is natural to remember old friends. Bharuch district can do a lot in the direction of the blue economy. We have to move forward by taking advantage of the wealth that is inside the ocean and through our Sagarkhedu Yojana. Be it education, health, shipping, connectivity, we have to move forward rapidly in every field. I am happy that Bharuch district has taken a big initiative. Many congratulations to all of you. I wish you all the best, Jai Jai Garavi Gujarat, Vande Mataram!",গুজৰাটৰ ভাৰুচত ‘উৎকর্ষ সমাৰোহ’ অনুষ্ঠানত প্রধানমন্ত্রীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-apprised-of-jointly-issue-of-postage-stamps-between-india-and-canada/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87-%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AD/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi was informed today that India and Canada have mutually agreed to jointly issue a set of two Commemorative Postage Stamps on India-Canada: Joint Issue on the theme “Diwali”.

Jan Aushadhi week is being celebrated across the country from 1st March to generate awareness about the usage of generic medicines and the benefits of Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana. The theme of this event is “Jan Aushadhi-Jan Upyogi”. Union Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya was among those present on the occasion. Interacting with the beneficiary from Patna, Ms Hilda Anthony, the Prime Minister asked how she came to know about the Jan Aushadhi medicines. He also enquired about the quality of the medicines. She replied that she has benefited greatly from the medicines as she is able to get her monthly medicines for 250 rupees instead of 1200- 1500 rupees earlier. She said that she spends the savings on social causes. The Prime Minister appreciated her spirit and hoped that people’s faith will increase in Jan Aushadhi through people like her. He said the middle class can be a great ambassador for this scheme. He also talked about the impact of disease on the financial situation of middle and lower-middle and poor sections of society. He called upon the literate segment of society to talk about the benefits of Jan Aushadhi. Interacting with the divang beneficiary Shri Suresh Chandra Behera from Bhubaneswar, the Prime Minister enquired about his experience with Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana. The Prime Minister also asked whether all medicines needed by him are available at the Jan Aushadhi store. Shri Behera said that he gets all the medicines from the store and saves 2000-2500 rupees every month as his parents also need medicines. The Prime Minister prayed to Lord Jagannath for his family’s recovery and wellbeing. He praised the spirit of Shri Behera who was a divyang and bravely fighting his battle. Interacting with Ms Babita Rao from Mysore, the Prime Minister urged her to spread the word through social media so that more people can benefit from the scheme. Ms Urvashi Nirav Patel from Surat described to the Prime Minister, her journey of promoting Jan Aushadhi in her Area and how the low-cost sanitary pads from the Jan Aushadi Kendra helped her to donate it to more people through her efforts. The Prime Minister appreciated her service spirit as a political activist. This will enhance the role of service in public life. He also suggested that beneficiaries of PM Awas Yojana and beneficiaries of free ration during the pandemic should be approached for increasing their awareness regarding hygiene. Shri Shailesh Khandelwal from Raipur spoke about his journey with Jan Aushadi Pariyojana. He said that he felt good that the medicines were low cost and he spread the word to all his patients. The Prime Minister asked other doctors also to promote Jan Aushadhi among the people. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said Jan Aushadhi Kendras are centres for medicine for the body, they also reduce the anxiety of the mind and they are also centres of relief to the people by saving their money. The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction that such benefits are accruing to all segments of people and in all parts of the country. He also noted the success of the 1 rupee sanitary napkin. The sale of 21 crore sanitary napkins shows that Jan Aushadhi Kendras have made the lives of women easy all over the country. The Prime Minister said as of now more than 8,500 Jan Aushadhi Kendras have been opened in the country. These centres are now becoming solution centres for the common man and not just another government store. He said that the government has also controlled the price of more than 800 medicines required for the treatment of diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, heart disease.

Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister attended the meeting of the North Eastern Council at the State Convention Centre in Shillong and participated in its golden jubilee celebrations. The multiple projects include the inauguration of 320 completed and 890 under construction 4G mobile towers, the new campus of IIM Shillong, at Umsawli, the Shillong – Diengpasoh Road which will provide better connectivity to new Shillong satellite township and four other roads projects across the three states viz.

The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of six road projects across the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. He also laid the foundation stone of the Integrated Hospitality and Convention Centre at Tura and Shillong Technology Park Phase -II. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister remarked that Meghalaya is a state that is prosperous in nature and culture and this very prosperity is reflected through the warmth and welcoming nature of the people. He congratulated the citizens of Meghalaya for the numerous upcoming and newly inaugurated projects ranging from connectivity, education, skill and employment for further development in the state. The Prime Minister drew everyone’s attention to the coincidence that the public function of today is taking place on a football field at the time when the football world cup is going on. “On the one hand, there is football competition going on, while here we are leading the competition of development in the football field. Even though the football world cup is taking place in Qatar, the enthusiasm of the people here is no less”, he remarked. Drawing an analogy to the red card shown in football to a person who goes against the sportsman spirit, the Prime Minister remarked that the government has shown the red card to all the obstacles that come in the way of the development of North East. “Be it corruption, discrimination, nepotism, violence or vote-bank politics to disrupt the development in the region, we are working with dedication and honesty to uproot all these evils”, he remarked. The Prime Minister pointed out that even though such evils are deeply rooted, we have to work towards eliminating each one of them. He further added that the efforts of the government are showing positive results. Throwing light on the emphasis on sports development, the Prime Minister highlighted that the central government is moving forward with a new approach and its benefits can be clearly seen in the North Eastern regions as well. He informed that apart from India’s first sports university, the North Eastern region is well equipped with multiple infrastructures like multipurpose hall, football field and athletics track. He further added that work is underway on ninety such projects. The Prime Minister said with assurance that even though we are looking at the international teams playing in the football world cup in Qatar, he firmly believes in the power of the youth and remarked that the day is not far when India will organise such a similar celebration and every Indian will also cheer for our team that will take part in it. “Development is not limited to budget, tenders, laying foundation stones and inaugurations”, the Prime Minister continued as he stated that such was the norm even before 2014, “the transformation that we witness today is a result of the change in our intentions, resolutions, priorities and our work culture. The results can be seen in our processes.” The Prime Minister elaborated, “The resolution is to build a developed India with modern infrastructure, modern connectivity. The intention is to connect every region and section of India with the objective of rapid development through Sabka Prayas (everyone’s efforts). The priority is to remove deprivation, reduce distances, engage in capacity building, and give more opportunities to the youth. And the change in work culture signifies that every project and programme be completed within the time limit.” The Prime Minister informed that the central government is spending Rs 7 lakh crore only on infrastructure this year, while 8 years ago this expenditure was less than Rs 2 lakh crore. He also pointed out that states are competing within themselves when it comes to boosting infrastructure. Giving examples of infrastructural developments in the North East, the Prime Minister highlighted the fast-paced work to connect all the capitals of the North East including Shillong with rail service and the increase in number of weekly flights from 900 before 2014 to 1900 today. The Prime Minister informed that under the UDAN scheme, flights are on 16 routes in Meghalaya and the result is cheap airfares for the people of Meghalaya. Highlighting the benefits to the farmers of Meghalaya and North East, the Prime Minister informed that the fruits and vegetables grown here are easily accessible to the markets of the country and abroad through the Krishi Udaan scheme. The Prime Minister drew everyone’s attention to the connectivity projects that have been inaugurated today and informed that 5 thousand crore rupees have been spent on the construction of the National Highway in Meghalaya in the last 8 years while the number of rural roads built in the last 8 years under the Pradhan Mantri Sadak Yojana in Meghalaya is seven times more than what was built in the previous 20 years. Talking about the increasing digital connectivity for the youth of the Northeast, the Prime Minister informed that optical fibre coverage has increased 4 times in the Northeast and 5 times in Meghalaya when compared to 2014. He further added that 6 thousand mobile towers are being erected to take mobile connectivity to every part of the region with an outlay of 5 thousand crores. “This infrastructure will give new opportunities to the youth of Meghalaya” the Prime Minister emphasised. Regarding education infrastructure, the Prime Minister commented that with IIM and the technology park education, earning opportunities will increase in the region. He also informed that Northeast is witnessing the construction of more than 150 Eklavya schools out of which 39 are in Meghalaya. The Prime Minister gave the example of the Parvatmala Scheme which is building a network of ropeways and the PM DEVINE scheme which is going to give a new impetus to the development of North East by ensuring easy approval of big development projects. He added, “A budget of Rs 6,000 crore has been fixed for the next 3-4 years under PM-Divine.” Reflecting on the ‘divide’ approach of the previous ruling governments for the North East, the Prime Minister remarked that our government has come up with ‘divine’ intentions. “Be it different communities, or different regions, we are removing all kinds of divisions. Today, in the North East, we are laying emphasis on building corridors of development, not borders of disputes” he said. The Prime Minister observed that in the last 8 years, many organisations have shunned the path of violence and have taken refuge in permanent peace. Speaking about the needlessness for AFSPA in the North East, the Prime Minister remarked that the conditions are constantly improving with the help of the state governments while boundary disputes between the states which were going on for decades are being resolved. The Prime Minister said that the Northeast is a gateway to security and prosperity instead of just a border area at the frontier. The Prime Minister elaborated on the vibrant village scheme under which border villages are being provided with better facilities. The Prime Minister lamented that due to the fear of benefiting the enemy, the border areas did not witness the spread of connectivity. “Today we are boldly building new roads, new tunnels, new bridges, new railway lines, and airstrips on the border. Desolated border villages are being turned vibrant. The speed needed for our cities is needed for our border too.” The Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister recalled his meeting with His Holiness the Pope and said that both the leaders discussed the challenges being faced by humanity today and arrived at a consensus for a concerted effort to meet them. ‘We need to strengthen this sentiment’, the Prime Minister said. Highlighting the politics of peace and development adopted by the government, the Prime Minister said that the biggest beneficiary of this is our tribal society. The development of tribal areas is the priority of the government while maintaining the tradition, language and culture of the tribal society. Giving the example of abolishing the ban on bamboo harvesting, the Prime Minister informed that it gave impetus to the manufacture of tribal products associated with bamboo. “850 Van Dhan Kendras have been established in the North East for value addition in the produce obtained from forests. Many self-help groups are associated with them, many of which belong to our sisters”, he informed. Shri Modi said that social infrastructure like houses, water and electricity have massively benefited the Northeast. In the past few years, 2 lakh new households received electricity connection. More than 70 thousand houses were approved for the poor and 3 lakh households got piped water connections. “Our tribal families were the biggest beneficiaries of these schemes,” he said. Concluding his address, the Prime Minister wished for continued pace of the region’s development and credited the blessing of the people as the base of all energy that is being put into the development of the Northeast. He conveyed his best wishes for the upcoming Christmas.

Transactions through e-NAM have exceeded Rs 2 lakh crore” “More and more startups in agriculture sector augur well for the sector and rural economy” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated PM Kisan Samman Sammelan 2022 at Indian Agricultural Research Institute in New Delhi today. The Prime Minister also inaugurated 600 Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samruddhi Kendras (PMKSK) under the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilisers. Furthermore, the Prime Minister also launched Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana – One Nation One Fertiliser. During the event, the Prime Minister also released the 12th instalment amount of Rs. 16,000 crores under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) through Direct Benefit Transfer. The Prime Minister also inaugurated the Agri Startup Conclave and Exhibition. During the event, the Prime Minister also launched ‘Indian Edge’, an e-magazine on fertiliser. Shri Modi took a walkthrough of Theme Pavilion of Startup Exhibition and inspected the products on display. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister started by acknowledging the presence of Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan and Jai Anusandhan in one premise, and said that we can see the live form of this mantra here today. He further elaborated that Kisan Sammelan is a means to make the lives of farmers easier, boost their capability and promote advanced agricultural techniques. “More than 600 Pradan Mantri Sammridhi Kendra have been inaugurated today”, Shri Modi said. He further elaborated that these Kendras are not merely sales centres for fertiliser but a mechanism for establishing a deep bond with the farmers of the country. Regarding the fresh instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN), the Prime Minister said that the money reaches the accounts of the farmers directly without involving any middleman. “Another instalment of Rs 16,000 crore has also been released to crores of farmer families as PM Kisan Samman Nidhi”, Shri Modi added and expressed happiness that this instalment is reaching the farmers just before Diwali. The Prime Minister also said that today, Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana – One Nation One Fertiliser has also been launched which is a scheme of ensuring affordable quality fertiliser of Bharat brand to the farmers. Recalling the time before 2014 when farmers had to deal with the troubled agricultural sector and black marketing of urea, the Prime Minister exclaimed that the farmers had to bear the brunt of the baton to claim what was rightfully theirs. The Prime Minister interjected that the government tackled the black marketing of urea by coating it with 100% neem. “We worked hard to restart the country’s 6 largest urea factories, which were closed for years”, he added. Highlighting the steps that have immensely benefited the hardworking farmers, the Prime Minister remarked that India is rapidly moving towards self-sufficiency in liquid nano urea production. Shri Modi pointed out, “Nano Urea is a medium to produce more with less cost.” Stating its benefits, the Prime Minister said that a sack full of urea can now be replaced by a single bottle of nano urea. He further added that the transportation costs of urea would go down significantly. The Prime Minister mentioned two new measures in the fertiliser reform story of India. Firstly, a campaign is being initiated today to develop more than 3.25 lakh fertiliser shops across the country as Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samruddhi Kendras. These will be centres where farmers can buy not only fertilisers and seeds but also implement soil testing and avail useful information about farming techniques. Secondly, with One Nation, One Fertiliser, the farmer is going to get rid of all kinds of confusion about the quality of the fertiliser and its availability. “Now the urea sold in the country will be of the same name, same brand and same quality and this brand is Bharat! Now urea will be available only under ‘Bharat’ brand name in the entire country ”, Shri Modi remarked. He further added that it will result in reducing the cost of fertilisers and increase their availability. Stressing the need of the hour to adopt technology-based modern farming techniques, the Prime Minister said that we have to create new systems in agriculture, adopt more scientific and technological methods with an open mind. With this thinking, we have emphasized boosting scientific methods in agriculture, and maximum use of technology. The Prime Minister informed that 22 crore soil health cards have been distributed so far and scientific efforts are on for providing best quality seeds. “During the last 7-8 year about 1700 new varieties of seeds that are suited to the changed climate conditions have been made available to the farmers”, he said. The Prime Minister also highlighted the increasing curiosity about millets on the global level. He said, “Today, many hubs are being built in the country to increase the quality of the seeds of the traditional coarse grains- millets that we have here.” Throwing light on the efforts of the government to encourage India’s coarse grains all over the world, the Prime Minister informed that the next year has been declared as the International Year of Coarse Cereals. The Prime Minister cautioned against using indiscriminate amounts of water for irrigation and reiterated the government’s efforts in the direction of per drop more crop, micro irrigation and drip irrigation. More than 70 lakh hectare land has been brought under micro irrigation in the last 7-8 years, he informed. Stressing the need to encourage natural farming, the Prime Minister informed that it provides an important medium to solve the challenges of the future. We are experiencing a lot of awareness across the country today, the Prime Minister highlighted. Farmers are working on a large scale in Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh as well as in UP, Uttarakhand for natural farming. In Gujarat, plans are being made for this at the district and gram panchayat level as well. Highlighting the transformational initiative of PM-KISAN, the Prime Minister remarked that PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is an example of how small farmers benefit from the use of modern technology. “Since the launch of this scheme, more than Rs 2 lakh crore has been directly transferred to the bank accounts of farmers. For small farmers who are more than 85 percent of the country’s farmers, this is a huge support”, he said. “Steps that ensure ‘Ease of Living’ for our farmers today”, the Prime Minister continued, “By using better and modern technology, we are also reducing the distance between the farm and the market.” The biggest beneficiary of this is also the small farmer, who is associated with perishable products like fruits, vegetables, milk and fish. Kisan Rail and Krishi Udan air service are helping a lot in this. These modern facilities are today connecting farmers’ fields to major cities across the country and markets abroad. He informed that India is among the top 10 countries in terms of agricultural exports. Agri exports increased by 18 per cent despite the problems of the worldwide pandemic. Mentioning area-specific exports, the Prime Minister said that these initiatives are being supported under the One District One Product scheme and export hubs are being established at the district level. Similarly, processed food is getting more income for the farmers. The number of large food parks increased from 2 to 23. At the same time FPOs and SHGs are being linked with these parks. e-NAM has ushered in a positive impact on the lives of farmers. e-NAM is also enabling farmers to sell their produce in any market in the country with the use of technology. “More than 1.75 crore farmers and 2.5 lakh traders have been linked with e-NAM. Transactions through e-NAM have exceeded Rs 2 lakh crore”, he informed. Throwing light on the growing number of startups in the agricultural sector in the country, the Prime Minister remarked that it augurs well for the sector and rural economy. “Startups and innovative youth are the future of Indian agriculture and the rural economy of India. From cost to transportation, our startups have the solution to every problem”, Shri Modi said. Dwelling upon the reasons for his relentless insistence on Aatmnirbharta, the Prime Minister said key products like edible oil, fertiliser, and crude oil account for huge financial outgo and global situations that impact the supply also. He gave examples of DAP and other fertilisers, prices of which escalated exorbitantly and India had to buy urea at the rate of 75-80 rupees per kg, though it was supplied to farmers at 5-6 rs per kg. Shri Modi added that the government will spend 2.5 lakh crore rupees to ensure affordable fertiliser to farmers this year too, he said. He mentioned measures regarding bio-fuel and ethanol for reducing foreign dependence with regard to crude oil and gas. Concluding his address, the Prime Minister urged the farmers of India to make the most of Mission Oil Palm which is a step in the direction of achieving Atmanirbharta in the edible oil sector. He further added that by increasing the production of oil seeds, India can reduce the consumption of edible oils. “Our farmers are more than capable in this field”, Shri Modi added. Recalling his clarion call in 2015 regarding the production of pulses, the Prime Minister expressed delight at the 70% increase in pulse production and thanked the farmers. “We will make agriculture attractive and prosperous in the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav”, the Prime Minister said and concluded his address by wishing the best to all the farmers and startups. Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, Union Minister of Chemical and Fertilisers, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Ministers of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Ms Shobha Karandlaje and Shri Kailash Choudhary and Union Minister of State for Chemical and Fertilisers, Shri Bhagwanth Khuba were those present on the occasion among others Background The event brings together more than 13,500 farmers from across the country and around 1500 Agri Startups. More than 1 crore farmers from various institutions are expected to attend the event virtually. The Sammelan will also witness the participation of researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders. The Prime Minister inaugurated 600 Pradan Mantri Kisan Samruddhi Kendras (PMKSK) under the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilisers. Under the scheme, the retail fertiliser shops in the country will be converted into PMKSK in a phased manner. PMKSK will cater to a wide variety of needs of the farmers and provide agri-inputs (fertilisers, seeds, implements), testing facilities for soil, seeds, and fertilisers; generate awareness among farmers; provide information regarding various government schemes and ensure regular capacity building of retailers at block/district level outlets. More than 3.3 lakh retail fertiliser shops are planned to be converted into PMKSK. The Prime Minister also launched Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana – One Nation One Fertiliser. Under the scheme, Prime Minister will launch Bharat Urea Bags, which will help companies market fertilisers under the single brand name ‘Bharat’. In a reflection of the continued commitment of the Prime Minister towards the welfare of the farmers, during the event, the Prime Minister also released the 12th instalment amount of Rs. 16,000 crores under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) through Direct Benefit Transfer. Under the scheme, eligible farmer families are provided benefits of Rs. 6000 per year in three equal instalments of Rs. 2000 each. So far, eligible farmer families have received benefits worth more than Rs. 2 lakh crore under PM-KISAN. The Prime Minister further inaugurated the Agri Startup Conclave and Exhibition. About 300 startups will showcase their innovation related to Precision Farming, Post-Harvest & Value Add Solutions, Allied Agriculture, Waste to Wealth, Mechanisation for Small Farmers, Supply Chain Management, and Argi-Logistic among others.

All of you are physically present at the historical and world heritage Lothal. Though I am connected with you through technology from far away Delhi, I am feeling as if I am there in the midst of all of you. Just now, I saw various projects at the National Maritime Heritage Complex through a drone and also reviewed their progress. I am satisfied that this project is progressing very fast. Friends, I spoke of taking pride in our heritage as part of the ‘Panch Pran’ (five pledges) while addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort this year. Our Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai also referred to that just now. Our maritime heritage is one such great legacy handed down by our ancestors. The history of any place or time not only inspires the future generations but also alerts us for the future. There are many such tales of our history, which have been forgotten and no measures were taken to preserve them and pass them on to the next generations. We could have learnt so much from those events of history. We forgot that we had great heritage like Lothal and Dholavira, which were famous for sea trade even thousands of years ago. There were the Chola Empire, Chera Dynasty and Pandya Dynasty in the south, which recognized the potential of marine resources and gave it an unprecedented height. Not only did they expand their maritime power, they were also successful in taking trade to far-flung countries. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj also formed a strong navy and challenged foreign invaders. It is such a proud chapter in the history of India which was ignored. Can you imagine that Kutch had the ship building industry thousands of years ago? Large ships made in India were sold all over the world. This indifference towards heritage did a lot of damage to the country. It is necessary to change this situation. Therefore, we decided to turn Dholavira and Lothal, the centers of India’s pride, in the same form they were once famous for. And today we can see that mission moving at a rapid pace. Friends, Today, I am also reminded of the thousands of years of traditions while talking about Lothal. Sikotar Mata is worshiped in many areas of Gujarat. She is worshiped as the goddess of the sea. Experts doing research on Lothal believe that Sikotar Mata was worshiped in some form or the other even at that time. It is said that people used to worship Sikotar Devi before venturing into the sea so that she would protect them during their journey. According to historians, Sikotar Mata is related to the island of Socotra, which is today in the Gulf of Aden. This shows that sea trade routes were open far and wide from the Gulf of Khambhat even thousands of years ago. Friends, Recently, the temple of Sikotar Mata was unearthed during excavations near Vadnagar. Some evidence has also been found suggesting maritime trade existed here in ancient times. Similarly, evidence of having a lighthouse in Jhinjhuwada village of Surendranagar has been found. You also know that light houses were built to guide ships at night. And the people of the country will be surprised to know that the sea is about 100 kilometers away from Jhinjhuwada village. Several evidence in this village show that it used to have a very busy port several centuries ago. This also tells us about the flourishing maritime trade in this entire region since ancient times. Friends, Lothal was not only a major trading center of the Indus Valley Civilization, but it was also a symbol of India’s maritime power and prosperity. It still amazes experts the way Lothal was developed as a port city thousands of years ago. The remains of the city, market and port found in the excavations of Lothal give amazing views of urban planning and architecture during that period. The type of system that existed here to deal with natural challenges, there is much to be learned for today’s planning as well. Friends, In a way, this region was blessed by both Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswati. Lothal was very prosperous due to its trade relations with many countries. It is said that flags of 84 countries used to be hoisted at the port of Lothal at that time. Similarly, the Valabhi University nearby used to attract students from more than 80 countries of the world. Chinese philosophers who came to this region in the seventh century also wrote that Valabhi University had more than 6,000 students at that time. That is, the region was also graced by Goddess Saraswati. Friends, The proposed heritage complex in Lothal is being built in such a way that even common people of India can easily understand its history. An attempt is being made to revive the same era by using very modern technology. The same splendor and power of thousands of years ago is being revived on this land. I am sure it will become a huge center of attraction for tourists from all over the world. The complex is being developed to welcome thousands of tourists a day. Just as the Statue of Unity in Ekta Nagar is creating a record of tourists every day, similarly the day is not far when people from every corner of the country will come to see this heritage complex in Lothal. This will create thousands of new employment and self-employment opportunities here. This region will also benefit from the fact that it is not too far from Ahmedabad. In future, more and more people will come here from other cities and will give an impetus to tourism here. Friends, I can never forget the difficult days this region has seen. At one time the sea was expanded so much that it was difficult to produce any crop in a very large area. People have seen those days about 20-25 years ago that no one used to give them loan even against hundreds of acres of land during the crisis. The lender also used to say that what he would do with the land which was not useful. We have brought out Lothal and this entire region today from that period. And friends, Our focus is not just limited to heritage complexes to bring back Lothal and the region to its past glory. Today so much work of modern infrastructure is taking place in the coastal areas of Gujarat and various industries are being established in the coastal areas. Lakhs of crores of rupees are being spent on these projects. Very soon, the semiconductor plant will also add to the pride here. Our government is working with full force to make this region developed again as it was thousands of years ago. Lothal, which fills us with pride because of its history, will now shape the future of the generations to come. Friends, A museum is not just a means of storing and displaying things or documents. When we cherish our heritage, we preserve the feelings attached to it along with it. When we look at the Tribal Freedom Fighter Museums being built across the country, it becomes clear how much our tribal heroes contributed to the freedom struggle of India. When we see the National War Memorial and the National Police Memorial, we realize how our brave sons and daughters lay down their lives to protect the country and keep it safe. When we visit the Prime Minister’s Museum, we get to know the power of democracy, the journey of 75 years of our country. The Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Ekta Nagar reminds us of the efforts, tenacity and penance for the unity and integrity of India. As you must be aware a huge research work is going on. Similar on the lines of Sardar Patel statue in Kevadia, we are also building a museum for the princely states which merged with India for the unity and integrity of the country. Right now, the design and research work are in the process. The research would include the lifestyle of the princely states, their role in the welfare of society and the country. A person visiting Ekta Nagar would get to know everything from the princely states to the journey of Sardar Saheb and how he forged a united India by successfully integrating princely states into India. Construction work of the museum will also start in the near future. The heritage that we have developed in the country in the last eight years also shows the scope of our heritage. I am sure the National Maritime Museum being built in Lothal will also fill all Indians with pride about the maritime heritage. With the belief that Lothal will emerge with its old splendor, many thanks to all of you! Best wishes to all of you. I wish all the brothers and sisters who are sitting in Lothal a very happy and prosperous Diwali and a Happy New Year which falls in Gujarat a day after Diwali. Many thanks to all!","লোথল, গুজৰাটত ভিডিঅ’ কনফাৰেঞ্চৰ জৰিয়তে নেশ্যনেল মেৰিটাইম হেৰিটেজ কমপ্লেক্স স্থলীৰ কামৰ অগ্ৰগতিৰ পৰিদৰ্শনৰ সময়ত প্রধানমন্ত্রীয়ে দিয়া ভাষণৰ পাঠ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-and-other-leaders-attend-lunch-in-parliament-where-millet-dishes-were-served/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi along with other leaders attended a lunch in Parliament where millet dishes were served as India prepares to mark 2023 as the International Year of Millets.

People coming here will be familiar with the contribution of the former Prime Ministers of the country, their background, their struggles and creations”, he added. The Prime Minister expressed pride in the fact that many of the Prime Ministers came from ordinary families. Fact of such leaders coming from extremely poor, farmer families reaching the position of the Prime Minister strengthens the faith in Indian democracy and its traditions, he said. “It also gives confidence to the youth of the country that even a person born in a ordinary family can reach the highest positions in the democratic system of India”, said shri Modi. The Prime Minister hoped that the museum will expand the experience of the young generation. The more our youth knows about key occasions of Independent India, the more relevant will be their decisions, he said. Noting India’s status as mother of democracy, the Prime Minister said “The great feature of India’s democracy is that it has been continuously changing with the passage of time. In every era, in every generation, there has been a continuous effort to make democracy more modern and empowered.” The Prime Minister said barring a couple of exceptions, India has a proud tradition of strengthening democracy in a democratic way. “That’s why we also have an obligation to keep strengthening democracy with our efforts”, he added. Highlighting the inclusive and accommodative elements of Indian culture, Shri Modi said that our democracy inspires us to accept modernity and new thoughts. Recalling the rich history and prosperous era of India, the Prime Minister laid stress on spreading awareness about the correct picture of India’s heritage and present. He said the government’s efforts to bring back the stolen heritage from abroad, celebrating places of the glorious heritage, preserving memories of the freedom fighters in places like Jalianwala Memorial, Panch Teerth commemorating Babasaheb, Freedom Fighter Museum, tribal history museum are steps in that direction Commenting on the logo of the museum which has many hands holding the chakra, the Prime Minister said that the Chakra is the symbol of 24 hour continuity and resolve for prosperity and hard work.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that the goal of self-reliance in the Indian defence forces is very important for the India of the 21st century. Organizing the first ‘Swavlamban’ (self-reliance) seminar for a self-reliant Navy is an important step in this direction. The Prime Minister said that the resolution of creating 75 indigenous technologies in this period of making new resolutions for India is inspiring in itself and he expressed the confidence that it will be fulfilled very soon. Still, he said that this is kind of the first step. “We have to work to continuously increase the number of indigenous technologies. Your goal should be that when India celebrates 100 years of its independence, at that time our Navy should be at an unprecedented height”, he added. Referring to the importance of oceans and coasts in India’s economy, the Prime Minister said that the role of the Indian Navy is continuously increasing and therefore self-reliance of the Navy is of critical importance. Recalling the glorious maritime tradition of the country, the Prime Minister said that the defence sector of India used to be very strong even before independence. At the time of independence, there were 18 ordnance factories in the country, where many types of military equipment including artillery guns, were made in the country. India was an important supplier of defence equipment in World War II. “Our howitzers, machine guns made at the Ishapur Rifle Factory, were considered the best. We used to export a lot. But then what happened that at one point in time we became the world’s biggest importer in this field?”, he asked. He said like the countries who capitalized on the challenge of the World War to emerge as the big arms exporters, India too turned adversity into opportunity during the Corona period and made strides in economy, manufacturing and science. He lamented the fact that during the initial decades of the Independence, there was no focus on the development of defence production and research and development was severely limited due it being restricted to the government sector. “Innovation is critical and it has to be indigenous. Imported goods can’t be a source of innovation”, he said. He also stressed the need for a change in mindset of attraction for imported goods. The Prime Minister said that the self-reliant defence system is critical for the economy and also from the strategic point of view. He said that the country has worked in mission mode to reduce this dependence after 2014.The Prime Minister remarked that the Government has given new strength to our public sector defence companies by organizing them in different sectors. Today we are making sure that we connect our premier institutions like IITs with defence research and innovation. “Learning from the approach of the past decades, today we are developing a new defence ecosystem with the strength of everyone’s efforts. Today defence R&D has been opened for the private sector, academia, MSMEs and start-ups”, he added. This has led to a new speed in long pending defence projects and the Prime Minister expressed the confidence that the wait for commissioning of the first indigenous aircraft carrier will be over soon. In the last 8 years, the Prime Minister noted that the Government has not only increased the defence budget, “we have also ensured that this budget is useful in the development of the defence manufacturing ecosystem in the country itself. Today, a large part of the budget earmarked for the purchase of defence equipment is being spent on procurement from Indian companies.” He also complemented the defence forces for preparing a list of 300 items that will not be imported. In the last 4-5 years, the Prime Minister said that the defence imports have come down by about 21 per cent. Today we are moving fast from the biggest defence importer to a big exporter. Last year 13 thousand crore rupees worth of defence export was done with more than 70 percent of which being from the private sector, he pointed out The Prime Minister noted that now the threats to national security have also become widespread, the methods of warfare are also changing. Earlier we used to imagine our defence only till land, sea and sky. Now the circle is moving towards space, moving towards cyberspace, moving towards economic, social space. In such a scenario, the Prime Minister said that we have to move anticipating the future challenges and change ourselves accordingly. Self-reliance will help the country a great deal in this regard, he said. The Prime Minister warned against the new danger. He said “we also have to intensify our war against forces challenging India’s self-confidence, our self-reliance. As India is establishing itself on the global stage, there are constant attacks through misinformation, disinformation and false publicity, etc. Keeping faith, the forces that are harming India’s interests, whether in the country or abroad, have to be thwarted in their every effort. National defence is no longer limited to borders, but is much broader. Therefore it is equally necessary to make every citizen aware about it.” Therefore, he continued “as we are moving forward with the ‘whole of the government’ approach for a self-reliant India, Similarly, the ‘whole of the Nation’ approach is the need of the hour for the defence of the nation.” “This collective national consciousness of various people of India is the strong basis of security and prosperity”, the Prime Minister concluded. NIIO Seminar ‘Swavlamban’ A key pillar of Aatmanirbhar Bharat is attaining self-reliance in the Defence Sector. To further this endeavour, during the programme, the Prime Minister unveiled ‘SPRINT Challenges’, which are aimed at giving a boost to the usage of indigenous technology in the Indian Navy. As a part of the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’, NIIO, in conjunction with the Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO), aims at inducting at least 75 new indigenous technologies/products into the Indian Navy. This collaborative project is named SPRINT (Supporting Pole-Vaulting in R&D through iDEX, NIIO and TDAC). The Seminar aims to engage Indian industry and academia towards achieving self-reliance in the Defence sector. The two-day Seminar (18-19 July) will provide a platform for leaders from Industry, Academia, Services and Government to come together on a common platform to ideate and come up with recommendations for the Defence Sector. Sessions dedicated to Innovation, Indigenisation, Armament and Aviation will be held. The second day of the Seminar will witness outreach to the Indian Ocean Region, in line with the government’s vision of SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region).",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে এনআইঅ’ চেমিনাৰ ‘স্বাৱলম্বন’ত ভাষণ প্ৰদান কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-apprised-of-the-mou-between-india-and-indonesia-on-technical-cooperation-in-the-field-of-railways-sector/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%AF/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been apprised of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India and Indonesia on Technical Cooperation in the field of railways sector.The MoU was signed on 29th May, 2018.

I am privileged to know some of you and meet you quite often. Going to Gurudwaras, contributing to service, enjoying ‘langar’ and staying at the homes of Sikh families has been a very natural part of my life. Sikh saints also come at the Prime Minister’s residence from time to time. I often get the good fortune of their company. Brothers and sisters, I feel proud when I meet members of the Sikh community on my foreign trips. Many of you will remember my trip to Canada in 2015! I knew Dalai ji when I was not even the Chief Minister. This was the first standalone bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Canada in four decades and I had not only been to Ottawa and Toronto. I remember expressing my wish to go to Vancouver. I went there and had the privilege of bowing my head at Gurudwara Khalsa Diwan. I had very good exchanges with the Sikh community. Similarly, I had the privilege of visiting Bhai Ganga Singh Sabha Gurudwara in Tehran when I went to Iran in 2016. Another unforgettable moment in my life is my visit to the Neuve-Chapelle Indian Memorial in France! This memorial pays tribute to the Indian soldiers, a large number of whom were our Sikh brothers and sisters, for their sacrifice during World War I. These experiences are examples of how our Sikh society has acted as a strong link in cementing ties between India and other countries. It is my good fortune that today I have got an opportunity to strengthen this link further and I keep making every effort in this regard. Friends, Our Gurus have taught us the courage and a sense of service. The people of India went to different parts of the world without any resources and achieved success through their efforts. This spirit has become the spirit of the new India today. New India is touching new dimensions and leaving its mark on the whole world. This period of the Corona pandemic is the biggest example of this. At the beginning of the pandemic, people with an old mindset were expressing concerns about India. Everyone kept saying something or the other. But, now people give the example of India. Earlier, it was being said that from where India with such a large population will get the vaccines and how people’s lives will be saved? But today India has emerged as the biggest vaccine manufacturer. Crores of vaccine doses have been administered in our country. You will also be proud to know that our own Made-in-India vaccines account for 99 percent of the total vaccination. During this period, we have emerged as one of the largest startup ecosystems in the world. The number of our unicorns is constantly increasing. It is our diaspora whose head is held high due to this growing stature of India and increasing credibility. When the respect of the country grows, then the respect of lakhs of crores of people of Indian origin also grows equally. The world’s view regarding them changes. With this respect come new opportunities, new partnerships and a stronger sense of security. I have always considered our diaspora as the national ambassador of India. What the government sends (to Indian missions in foreign countries) is the ambassador. But you are the national ambassador. All of you are the loud voice of Maa Bharati, the lofty identity, while residing outside India. Your chest also swells and your head also holds high with pride when you see the progress of India. You continue to worry about your country even while living abroad. Therefore, you have a huge role to play in furthering India’s success and strengthening India’s image while living abroad. Wherever we live in the world, ‘India First, Nation First’ should be our main spirit. Friends, All our ten Gurus had united India by keeping the nation paramount. Guru Nanak Dev ji had awakened the consciousness of the entire nation and brought the entire nation out of darkness and showed the path of light. Our Gurus traveled all over India from east to west and north to south. Wherever you go, you will find their testimonies, inspirations and people’s faith in them. From Gurudwara Harmandir Sahib Ji in Punjab to Gurudwara Shri Hemkund Sahib in Uttarakhand, from Gurudwara Huzur Sahib in Maharashtra to Gurudwara Paonta Sahib in Himachal, from Takht Shri Patna Sahib in Bihar to Gurudwara Lakhpat Sahib in Kutch, Gujarat, our Gurus inspired the people, purified the land with their feet. Therefore, the Sikh tradition is actually a living tradition of ‘Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat’. Brothers and sisters, Entire India feels grateful for the contribution made by the Sikh community to the country in the freedom struggle and even after independence. Be it the contribution of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the battle against the British, or Jallianwala Bagh, without them neither the history of India is complete nor India is complete. Even today, from the valor of the Sikh soldiers posted on the border to the participation of the Sikh community in the country’s economy and the contribution of the Sikh NRIs, the Sikh community remains synonymous with the country’s courage, strength and the travails. Friends, The Amrit Mahotsav of freedom is an occasion to celebrate our freedom struggle as well as our culture and heritage, because India’s struggle for independence is not just an event of a limited period. Thousands of years of consciousness and ideals were attached to it. Spiritual values and so many sacrifices were attached to it. Therefore, when the country celebrates the Amrit Mahotsav of freedom, on one hand, it also celebrates the 400th Prakash Parv of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji at the Red Fort. Before the 400th Prakash Parv of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, we also celebrated the 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev ji with full devotion in the country and abroad. We were privileged to celebrate the 350th Prakash Parv of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Friends, The Kartarpur Sahib Corridor was also constructed during this period. Today lakhs of devotees are privileged to pay their respects there. The country is making every effort today from making ‘langar’ tax- free, giving FCRA permission to Harminder Sahib, increasing cleanliness around gurudwaras to connecting them with better infrastructure. I thank Satnam ji for the video presentation which shows how the work has been carried out in every field with full devotion. It is my endeavor to take the country forward on the path of service through your suggestions from time to time and today also you have given me many suggestions. Friends, The biggest inspiration we draw from the lives of our Gurus is the realization of our duties. This mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’ ensures the bright future of India for all of us. These duties are not only for our present, but also for our future as well as for our country. These are also for our future generations. For example, the environment is a huge crisis for the country and the world. Its solution lies in the culture and traditions of India. The Sikh society is a living example of this. In Sikh society, as much as we care about the villages, we do as much about the environment and the planet. Be it efforts against pollution, fighting malnutrition, or protecting cultural values, you all seem to be associated with every such effort. I have one more request for you. You know that the country has resolved to develop 75 Amrit Sarovars (ponds) in each district. You can also run the campaign for constructing Amrit Sarovars in your villages. Friends, We see the influence of our Gurus’ lessons of self-respect and dignity of human life in the life of every Sikh. This is the resolve of the country today in this ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. We have to become self-reliant and improve the life of the poorest of the poor. Active participation and contribution of all of you in all these efforts is very essential. I am sure that with the blessings of the Gurus, we will be successful and soon we will realize the goal of a new India. With this determination, I thank you all very much. Your visit holds very importance to me and I want this blessing to continue. I always say that this prime minister’s residence is not Modi’s house. This is your jurisdiction, this belongs to you. With this spirit of belongingness, we should always work together for Maa Bharti, for the poor of our country and for the uplift of every society of our country. May the blessings of the Gurus be upon us! With this spirit, I once again thank you all.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister paid homage to Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He also reminded the teachers that it is all the more important to be felicitated by the current President of India who is also a teacher and has taught in far-flung places of Odisha. “Today, when the country has started fulfilling its colossal dreams of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s efforts in the field of education inspire all of us. On this occasion, I congratulate all the teachers who received the National Award”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister highlighted the knowledge and dedication of teachers and pointed out that their biggest quality is a positive outlook that enables them to work with students relentlessly for their improvement. “The role of a teacher is to show the light to a person, and it is them who sow the dreams and teach them to turn the dreams into resolve”, he added. State and destiny of India of 2047, the Prime Minister said, is dependent on the students of today and their future is being shaped by the teachers of today, therefore “you are helping the students in shaping their lives and also giving form to the contours of the country”, he said. The Prime Minister said that when a teacher becomes associated with the dreams of the student, he achieves success in getting their respect and affection. The Prime Minister also underlined the importance of removing conflict and contradictions in the various areas of the lives of the students. He said it is important that there is no conflict in what a student experiences in school, society and at home. He emphasised the need for an integrated approach by the teachers and partners with the families of the students to nurture the students. He also advised against having likes and dislikes for the students and treating every student equally. Highlighting the appreciation received by the National Education Policy, the Prime Minister said that it is a step in the right direction. Emphasising the need to go through the National Educational Policy more than once, the Prime Minister gave the analogy of Mahatma Gandhi where he read the Bhagavad Gita again and again, and each time he found a new meaning. The Prime Minister stressed the need to imbibe the National Educational Policy in such a way that this government document turns into the basis of the students’ lives. He said, “Teachers played a major role in the formulation of the Policy.” He also stressed that the teachers have a monumental role to play in the implementation of the National Educational Policy. The Prime Minister recalled his Independence Day proclamation of ‘Panch Pran’ and suggested that these Panch Prans may be discussed regularly in the schools so that their spirit is clear to the students. These resolutions are being appreciated as a way for the progress of the nation and we need to find a way to communicate them to the children and students, he said. The Prime Minister said, “There should be no student in the entire country who does not have a dream for 2047”. He said that there is a need to recreate the spirit that engulfed the nation during the years between Dandi Yatra and Quit India Remarking on India’s achievement of surpassing the United Kingdom to become the 5th largest economy in the world, the Prime Minister said that the pleasure of surpassing those who ruled over India for approximately 250 years supersedes the mere statistics of improved ranking from 6th largest to 5th largest economy. The Prime Minister highlighted the spirit of the Tiranga which led to India achieving new heights in the world of today. “This spirit is essential today”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister urged everyone to ignite the same spirit of living, toiling and dying for the country as seen from 1930 to 1942 when every Indian was fighting the British for independence. “I will not let my country stay behind”, the Prime Minister remarked. “We have broken the shackles of thousands of years of slavery, and now we will not stop now. We will only move forward”, the Prime Minister reiterated. While concluding his address, the Prime Minister urged the teachers of the country to assimilate a similar spirit into the future of India so that its strength grows manifold. Union Minister of Education, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan and Minister of State for Education, Smt Annapurna Devi were those present on occasion. Background The purpose of the National Awards to Teachers is to celebrate and honour the unique contribution of some of the finest teachers in the country, who through their commitment and hard work have not only improved the quality of school education but also enriched the lives of their students. The National Awards to Teachers accords public recognition to meritorious teachers working in elementary and secondary schools. For the award this year, 45 teachers from across the country have been selected through a rigorous and transparent online three-stage process.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে শিক্ষক দিৱসত ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বঁটা বিজয়ী শিক্ষকসকলৰ সৈতে বাৰ্তালাপ কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-opening-of-indian-mission-in-lithuania/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A5%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%A8/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has accorded approval to the opening of a new Indian Mission in Lithuania in 2022. Opening of Indian Mission in Lithuania will help expand India’s diplomatic footprint, deepen political relations and strategic cooperation, enable growth of bilateral trade, investment and economic engagements, facilitate stronger people-to-people contacts, allow for more sustained political outreach in multilateral fora and help garner support for India’s foreign policy objectives. Indian Mission in Lithuania will also better assist the Indian community and protect their interests. The decision to open a new Indian Mission in Lithuania is a forward-looking step in pursuit of our national priority of growth and development or ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’. Enhancement of India’s diplomatic presence will, inter-alia, provide market access for Indian companies and bolster Indian exports of goods and services.

But I have had the opportunity to keep in touch with many of you in one way or the other and had the opportunity to interact with you on different occasions. But I am glad that you took out time to come to my residence as a member of the family. As every Indian is proud of the success of your accomplishments, I am also proud to be associated with you. You all are very welcome here. The country is going to complete 75 years of independence after two days. It is a matter of pride that the country is heralding the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence with an inspiring achievement by your efforts. Friends, Over the last few weeks, the country has made two major achievements in the field of sports. Along with the historic performance in the Commonwealth Games, the country organized Chess Olympiad for the first time. Not only has the country organized a successful event, but it has also delivered an outstanding performance, continuing its rich tradition in chess. I congratulate all the players who participated in the Chess Olympiad and all the medal winners on this occasion today. Friends, I promised all of you ahead of the Commonwealth Games that we will celebrate the victory festival together upon your return. It was my belief that you would return home victorious and therefore I made sure to manage my time despite my busy schedule to celebrate victory with you. Today is the occasion to celebrate victory. While I was talking to you, I could see the confidence and courage which has become your identity. Those who won medals and those who are going to win medals in future deserve praise today. Friends, I want to tell you one more thing. While all of you were competing there, crores of Indians were staying awake late here due to time difference. The countrymen were fixated on your every action and move till late at night. Many people slept with alarms so that they could remain updated with your performance. People used to constantly check the score, goals and points. All of you have a big role in increasing this interest and attraction towards sports among people and you deserve congratulations for this. Friends, It is not possible to make an honest assessment of your performance this time just by the number of medals. So many players were neck-on-neck in different competitions this time. This too is no less than a medal in itself. Well, they might have lagged by point one second or point one centimeter, but we will cover that too. I have full faith in you. I am also excited because we are not only strengthening the sports which have been our strength, but we are also leaving our mark in new sports. I appreciate the efforts, hard work and temperament of both the teams for the way we are regaining our legacy in hockey. Compared to last time, we have scored victories in four new games. From lawn bowls to athletics, there has been phenomenal performance. With this performance, the inclination of youth towards new sports in the country is going to increase a lot. We have to keep on improving our performance like this in the new games. I can see all the old faces in front of me, be it Sharath, Kidambi, Sindhu, Saurabh, Mirabai, Bajrang, Vinesh or Sakshi. All the senior athletes have led as expected and encouraged everyone. And on the other hand, our young athletes have done wonders. The young colleagues I spoke to before the start of the Games have lived up to their promise. Out of those who debuted, 31 teammates won medals. This shows how much the confidence of our youth is increasing today. The spirit of a new India is visible when veteran Sharath dominates and Avinash, Priyanka and Sandeep take on the world’s best athletes for the first time. This is the spirit that we are ready for every race and competition. How many times have we seen two Indian players saluting the tricolor on the athletics podium simultaneously? And friends, the whole country is in awe of the performance of our daughters. Just now when I was talking to Pooja, I also mentioned this to her. After watching that emotional video of Pooja, I had said through social media that you don’t need to apologize. You are a winner for the country and you just don’t have to compromise on your honesty and hard work. I also said the same thing to Vinesh after the Olympics and I am glad that she put the disappointment behind and did her best. Be it boxing, judo, or wrestling, the way daughters have dominated, it is amazing. Neetu forced the rivals to leave the boxing ring. Under the leadership of Harmanpreet, the Indian cricket team performed well in the inaugural competition itself. The performance of all the players has been excellent, but no one still has the answer to Renuka’s swing. Being the top wicket-taker among the legends is no less an achievement. She may have the calmness of Shimla on her face and the innocent smile of the mountains, but her aggression shatters the spirits of big batters. This performance will surely inspire, encourage and motivate the daughters even in remote areas. Friends, It is not that you give medals to the country and an opportunity to celebrate and the country to feel proud. Rather, you strengthen the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’. You inspire the youth of the country to do better not only in sports but also in other sectors. You all unite the country with one resolve, one goal, which was also a great strength of our freedom struggle. The viewpoint of countless fighters and revolutionaries like Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Mangal Pandey, Tatya Tope, Lokmanya Tilak, Sardar Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqulla Khan and Ramprasad Bismil was different, but the goal was one. Innumerable heroines like Rani Lakshmibai, Jhalkari Bai, Durga Bhabhi, Rani Chennamma, Rani Gaidinliu and Velu Nachiyar fought for freedom breaking every stereotype. Many great tribal fighters like Birsa Munda, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Govind Guru fought against such a mighty army only with their courage and spirit. Many personalities like Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Acharya Vinoba Bhave, Nanaji Deshmukh, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Shyama Prasad Mookerjee spent their lives to fulfill the dreams of independent India. From the freedom struggle to the way the whole of India collectively tried in the rebuilding of independent India, you also enter the field with the same spirit. Irrespective of the state, district, village, language, you do your best for the pride and prestige of the country. Your driving force is the tricolor and we have seen the power of the tricolor in Ukraine some time ago. The tricolor became a protective shield not only for the Indians, but also for the people of other countries while evacuating them from the battlefield. Friends, In recent times, we have done well in other tournaments as well. We have had the most successful performance so far in the World Athletics Championships. There has also been a commendable performance in the World Under-20 Athletics Championships. Similarly, many new records have been made in the World Cadet Wrestling Championship and Para Badminton International tournaments. It is definitely a time of excitement for the Indian sport. There are also many coaches, members of the coaching staff and colleagues associated with sports administration in the country here. Your role in these successes has also been excellent. Your role is very important. But this is the beginning according to me. We are not going to rest on our laurels. The golden era of India’s sports is knocking, friends. I am glad that many players who have graduated from the Khelo India platform have done exceptionally well this time. The positive effect of TOPS is also being seen. We have to intensify our efforts to discover new talent and take them to the podium. It is our responsibility to build a sporting ecosystem that is world-class, inclusive, diversified and dynamic. No talent should be left out, because it is the wealth of the country. I would urge all the athletes to prepare for the forthcoming Asian Games and the Olympics. I have another request for you on 75 years of independence. Last time I requested you to encourage children by visiting 75 schools and educational institutions of the country. In the midst of engagements, many colleagues have done this under the Meet the Champion campaign. Keep up this campaign. I urge those who have not been able to make it yet to go as the youth of the country now sees you as a role model and therefore listens carefully to your words. He is eager to apply your advice in his life. Your capability, acceptance and growing respect should also be useful for the younger generation of the country. I once again wish you all the best on this victory journey! Many congratulations!

This is a double engine government. This is the speed of work of the double engine government” Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the Saryu Nahar National Project in Balrampur, UP today. Governor of Uttar Pradesh Smt Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Shri Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat were among those present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister paid homage to India’s first Chief of Defence Staff, General Bipin Rawat and said that his demise is a great loss for every Indian, for every patriot. “The whole country has been a witness to the hard work that General Bipin Rawat ji was doing to make the country’s forces self-reliant” he said. The Prime Minister continued and said that though India is in sorrow ‘but even after suffering the pain, we neither stop our pace nor progress. India will not stop. Efforts to make the country’s armed forces self-reliant Campaign to strengthen coordination between the three armies, Will keep moving forward. General Bipin Rawat, in the days to come, will see his India moving forward with new resolutions. The work of improving the security of the country’s borders, Work to strengthen border infrastructure will continue’ he added. He said the doctors are working hard to save the life of Group Captain Varun Singh who is a son of Uttar Pradesh, a resident of Deoria. “I pray to Maa Pateshwari to save his life. The nation is with the family of Varun Singh ji today and with the families of the heroes we have lost”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said proper utilization of the water of the country’s rivers, and adequate water reaching the farmers’ fields, is one of the top priorities of the government. The completion of the Saryu Canal National Project is proof that when the thinking is honest, the work is also solid. The Prime Minister said when the work on this project started, its cost was less than Rs 100 crore. Today it has been completed after spending about 10 thousand crores. The country has already paid 100 times more for the negligence of the previous governments. “If it is government money, then why should I care? This thinking had become the biggest obstacle in the balanced and all-round development of the country. This thinking also kept the Saryu canal project hanging”. The Prime Minister said ‘We have done more work in the Saryu canal project than what was done in 5 decades in less than 5 years. This is a double engine government. This is the speed of work of the double engine government, our priority is to finish the project on time”. The Prime Minister listed long pending projects like Baan Sagar Project, Arjun Sahayak irrigation project, AIIMS and fertilizer plant at Gorakhpur that were completed by the double engine government. He also cited Ken Betwa Link project as an example of this government’s commitment. The 45000 crore Rs project was approved in the last Cabinet meeting. The project will play a key role in getting the Bundelkhand region rid of the water problem. The Prime Minister also said that small farmers are being linked to government schemes for the first time. PM KIsan samman Nidhi, alternative income streams in fishery and dairy and bee culture and opportunities in ethanol are some of the steps being taken. In the last four and half years, ethanol worth 12000 crore has been purchased from Uttar Pradesh itself, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister invited the farmers for the event being organized on 16th Dec about natural farming and zero budget farming. He also informed that more than 30 lakh families of the state have got pucca houses under PMAY, most of them are in the name of the women of the families. He also talked about the benefits of the Svamitva yojna. The Prime Minister said in this Corona period, sincere effort was made so that no poor should sleep hungry. Right now, the campaign for free ration being provided under PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana has been extended beyond Holi. The Prime Minister commented that as opposed to earlier times when mafia used to get protection, today mafia is being cleaned out and the difference is visible. Earlier, strongmen were promoted. Today, Yogi ji’s government is engaged in empowering the poor, downtrodden, backward and tribals. That’s why the people of UP say – the difference is visible. Earlier illegal occupation of land by the mafia was the norm while today, Yogi ji is running bulldozer over such encroachment. That’s why the people of UP say – the difference is visible, the Prime Minister emphasized.",উত্তৰ প্ৰদেশৰ বলৰামপুৰত সৰয়ু নহৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় প্ৰকল্প উদ্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-addresses-yuva-shivir-organised-by-shree-swaminarayan-temple/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%A3-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF/,"“Constant character-building in every generation is the basis of every society” “Wherever there are challenges, India is present with hope, wherever there are problems, India comes out with solutions” “India is new hope of the world today” “From software to space, we are emerging as a country ready for a new future” “Let us uplift ourselves, but our upliftment should also be a medium for the welfare of others” Mentions the campaign to clean Kashi Ghats by a Nagaland Girl Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed the ‘Yuva Shivir’ being organised at Karelibaug, Vadodara today via video conferencing.

The Prime Minister urged to take a collective resolve and make efforts to build a new India. A new India, whose identity is new, forward-looking and traditions are ancient. A new India, which moves ahead by taking both new thinking and age-old culture together and should give direction to the entire mankind. “Wherever there are challenges, India is present with hope, wherever there are problems, India comes out with solutions”, the Prime Minister said.

For us, Sanskar means education, service and sensitivity! For us, Sanskar means dedication, determination and strength! Let us uplift ourselves, but our upliftment should also be a medium for the welfare of others! May we touch the heights of success, but our success should also be a means of service to all. This is the essence of the teachings of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and this is the nature of India also”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister recalled his long association with Vadodara and mentioned the significance of the place in his personal and political life. He said with ‘Statue of Unity’ Vadodara has become an important base for the global attraction i.e. Statue of Unity. Similarly, Pavagadh Temple is also attracting people from all over. The Prime Minister said that ‘Sanskaar Nagri’ Vadodara is becoming known all over the world as Vadodara-made Metro coaches are used globally, that is the strength of Vadodara, he said. The Prime Minister said that though we did not get an opportunity to die for the country in the freedom struggle but we can live for the country. He asked, “Till 15 August 2023, Can we stop transactions with cash and adopt digital payments? Your small contribution can create a huge difference in small businesses and vendors lives”. Similarly, a pledge may be taken for cleanliness and prevention of the use of single-use plastic and preventing malnutrition. The Prime Minister also mentioned the campaign by a Nagaland Girl for cleaning the Ghats of Kashi. She started alone but was joined by many people. This illustrates the power of resolve. Similarly, the Prime Minister asked to practice small measures like saving electricity or adopting natural farming to help the country.",শ্ৰী স্বামীনাৰায়ণ মন্দিৰে আয়োজন কৰা ‘যুৱ শিবিৰ’ সম্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-commissions-the-first-indigenous-aircraft-carrier-as-ins-vikrant/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%80/,"INS Vikrant has been made using indigenous equipment and machinery supplied by India’s major industrial houses as well as over 100 MSMEs It is the largest ship ever built in maritime history of India and houses state of the art automation features Marking a departure from the colonial past, PM unveiled the new Naval Ensign, dedicates the Ensign to Chhatrapati Shivaji “INS Vikrant is not just a warship.

With the immense power of the ocean, boundless female power, it is becoming the lofty identity of the new India” Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier as INS Vikrant today. During the event, the Prime Minister also unveiled the new Naval Ensign (Nishaan), doing away with the colonial past and befitting the rich Indian maritime heritage. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said today, here on the coast of Kerala, India, every Indian, is witnessing the sunrise of a new future. This event being held on the INS Vikrant is a tribute to the rising spirits of India on the world horizon. He said that today we are seeing a manifestation of the dream of the freedom fighters where they envisioned a capable and strong India. The Prime Minister exclaimed “Vikrant is huge, massive, and vast. Vikrant is distinguished, Vikrant is also special. Vikrant is not just a warship. This is a testament to the hard work, talent, influence and commitment of India in the 21st century. If the goals are distant, the journeys are long, the ocean and the challenges are endless – then India’s answer is Vikrant. The incomparable Amrit of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav is Vikrant. Vikrant is a unique reflection of India becoming self-reliant.” Commenting on the new mood of the nation, the Prime Minister said , no challenge is too difficult for today’s India. He said “today, India has joined those countries in the world, which manufacture such a huge aircraft carrier with indigenous technology. Today INS Vikrant has filled the country with a new confidence, and has created a new confidence in the country.” The Prime Minister acknowledged and praised the contribution of the Navy, engineers of Cochin Shipyard, scientists and specially the workers who worked on the project. He also noted the happy and auspicious occasion of Onam that is adding even more happiness to the occasion. Every part of INS Vikrant has its own merits, a strength, a development journey of its own. It is a symbol of indigenous potential, indigenous resources and indigenous skills. The steel installed in its airbase is also indigenous, developed by DRDO scientists and produced by Indian companies, he said. Explaining the massive proportions of the Carrier, the Prime Minister said it is like a floating city. It produces electricity that is sufficient to power 5000 households and the wiring used will reach Kashi from Kochi, he said. He said that INS Vikrant is a living embodiment of the Spirit of the Panch Prans that he proclaimed from the ramparts of Red Fort. The Prime Minister talked about the Indian Maritime tradition and naval capabilities. Chhatrapati Veer Shivaji Maharaj, he said, built such a navy on the strength of this sea power, which kept the enemies on their toes. When the British came to India, they used to be intimidated by the power of Indian ships and trade through them. So they decided to break the back of India’s maritime power. History is witness to how strict restrictions were imposed on Indian ships and merchants by enacting a law in the British Parliament at that time, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister noted that today on the historic date of September 2, 2022, India has taken off a trace of slavery, a burden of slavery. The Indian Navy has got a new flag from today. Till now the identity of slavery remained on the flag of Indian Navy. But from today onwards, inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji, the new Navy flag will fly in the sea and in the sky. The Prime Minister remarked that when Vikrant descends to protect our maritime zone, many women soldiers of the Navy will also be stationed there. With the immense power of the ocean, boundless female power, it is becoming the lofty identity of the new India. Now the Indian Navy has decided to open all its branches for women. The restrictions that were there are now being removed. Just as there are no boundaries for the capable waves, there will be no boundaries or restrictions for the daughters of India. The Prime Minister said drop by drop water becomes like a vast ocean. He also mentioned the salute by indigenous canon on this Independence Day. Similarly, if every citizen of India starts living the mantra of ‘Vocal for Local’, then it will not take long for the country to become self-reliant. Commenting on the changing geo-strategic situation, he said in the past, security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean have long been ignored. But, today this area is a major defence priority of the country for us. That is why we are working in every direction, from increasing the budget for the Navy to increasing its capability, he said. The Prime Minister said that a strong India will pave the way for a peaceful and safe world. Governor Kerala Shri Arif Mohammad Khan, Chief Minister Shri Pinarayi Vijayan. Union Ministers Shri Rajnath Singh, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Shri V Muraleedharan, Shri Ajay Bhat, National Security Advisor, Shri Ajit Doval, Chief of Naval Staff Shri R Hari Kumar were among those present on the occasion. INS Vikrant INS Vikrant is designed by Indian Navy’s in-house Warship Design Bureau (WDB) and built by Cochin Shipyard Limited, a Public Sector Shipyard under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Vikrant has been built with with state of the art automation features and is the largest ship ever built in maritime history of India. The Indigenous Aircraft Carrier is named after her illustrious predecessor, India’s first Aircraft Carrier which had played a vital role in the 1971 war. It has a large number of indigenous equipment and machinery, involving major industrial houses in the country as well as over 100 MSMEs. With the commissioning of Vikrant, India will have two operational Aircraft Carriers, which will bolster the maritime security of the nation.

It is known for red carpet for investor” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today commented that India’s Innovative youth has ensured tech and talent globalisation and said “in India, technology is a force of equality and empowerment.” The Prime Minister was addressing the Bengaluru Tech summit via video message. The Prime Minister called Bengaluru the home of technology and thought leadership, an inclusive and innovative city. For many years, Bengaluru has been number one in India’s Innovation Index, he added. India’s technology and innovation have already impressed the world. However, the Prime Minister emphasized, that the future will be much bigger than the present because of India’s Innovative youth, and increasing tech access. He said Indian youth has ensured tech globalisation. and talent globalisation. The Prime Minister said “We are using our talent for global good.” The Prime Minister informed that India jumped to the 40th rank in the Global Innovation Index from 81st rank in 2015 this year. The number of unicorn start-ups in India has doubled since 2021, as India emerges as the third largest start with 81000 recognized start ups. The Indian talent pool has encouraged hundreds of international companies to have their R & D centres in India. Elaborating on the increasing tech access for Indian youth, the Prime Minister talked about the mobile and data revolution that is taking place in the country. In the last 8 years, Broadband connections rose from 60 million to 810 million. Smartphone users went from 150 million to 750 million. The growth of the internet is faster in rural areas than in urban areas. “A new demographic is being connected to the information super-highway”, Shri Modi said. He also touched upon democratization of technology in India. India has also shown how to give tech a human touch. He said “in India, technology is a force of equality and empowerment.” He gave the example of world’s largest health insurance scheme, Ayushman Bharat that provides a safety net for nearly 200 million families i.e. 600 million people and Covid vaccination drive, the world’s largest vaccination drive that ran on tech platforms. He also listed examples from the education sector such as one of the largest online repositories of open courses where over 10 million successful online and free certifications have happened. Referring to the lowest data tariffs the Prime Minister said that it helped poor students to attend online classes during the pandemic. The Prime Minister further said that India is using technology as a weapon in the war against poverty. He gave examples of use of drones for Svamitva scheme and Jan Dhan Aadhar Mobile (JAM) trinity to elaborate on poor friendly measures. The Svamitva scheme brought authenticity to the property record and gave the poor access to credit. JAM ensured Direct Benefit transfer and became the backbone of many welfare schemes, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister also referred to GeM ‘a government run successful e-commerce platform’. “Technology has helped small businesses find a big customer. At the same time, this has reduced the scope for corruption. Similarly, technology has helped with online tendering. This has accelerated projects and boosted transparency. It has also hit a procurement value of Rs One trillion last year”, Shri Modi said highlighting the strides made by GeM. The Prime Minister underlined the need to remove silos. He said “innovation is important.But when backed by integration, it becomes a force. Technology is being used to end silos , enable synergy and ensure service. On a shared platform, there are no silos.” Giving example of the PM Gati Shakti National Masterplan, the Prime Minister said India is investing over Rs 100 trillion in infrastructure over the next few years. With Gati Shakti shared platform, the central government, state governments, district administrations and different departments can coordinate. Information relating to projects, land use and institutions are available at a single place. So, each stakeholder sees the same data. This improves coordination and solves problems even before they occur.It is accelerating approvals and clearances, he said . The Prime Minister emphasized that India is no more a place known for red tape. It is known for red carpet for investors. “Whether it is FDI reforms, or liberalisation of drone rules, steps in the semi-conductor sector, the production incentive schemes in various sectors, or the rise of ease of doing business, India has many excellent factors coming together”, he said. The Prime Minister concluded by an appeal. He said “your investment and our innovation can do wonders. Your trust and our tech talent can make things happen. I invite you all to work with us as we lead the world in solving its problems.”",বেংগালুৰু প্ৰযুক্তি সন্মিলনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ প্ৰদান https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-welcomes-and-conveys-best-wishes-to-all-teams-taking-part-in-the-fifa-u-17-world-cup/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AD-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%9B%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%82%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AB%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AB%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has welcomed and conveyed best wishes to all teams taking part in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. “A warm welcome and best wishes to all teams taking part in the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

I heartily congratulate President Joko Widodo for giving effective leadership to the G-20 in a challenging global environment. Climate change, the Covid pandemic, the developments in Ukraine, and the global problems associated with it. All these together have caused havoc in the world. Global supply chains are in ruins. There is a crisis of essentials, essential goods all over the world. The challenge for the poor citizens of every country is more severe. Everyday life was already a struggle for them. They do not have the financial capacity to deal with the double whammy. Due to the double whammy, they lack the financial capacity to handle it. We should also not hesitate to acknowledge that multilateral institutions such as the UN have been unsuccessful on these issues. And we have all failed to make suitable reforms in them. Therefore, today the world has greater expectations from the G-20, the relevance of our group has become more significant. Excellencies, I have repeatedly said that we have to find a way to return to the path of ceasefire and diplomacy in Ukraine. Over the past century, the Second World War wreaked havoc in the world. After that, the leaders of that time made a serious effort to take the path of peace. Now it’s our turn. The onus of creating a new world order for the post-Covid period lies on our shoulders. The need of the hour is to show concrete and collective resolve to ensure peace, harmony and security in the world. I am confident that next year when the G20 meets in the holy land of Buddha and Gandhi, we will all agree to convey a strong message of peace to the world. Excellencies, During the pandemic, India ensured food security of its 1.3 billion citizens. At the same time, food grains were also supplied to many countries in need. The current shortage of fertilizers in terms of food security is also a huge crisis. Today’s fertilizer shortage is tomorrow’s food crisis, for which the world will not have a solution. We should build mutual agreement to maintain the supply chain of both manure and food grains stable and assured. In India, for sustainable food security, we are promoting natural farming, and re-popularising nutritious and traditional foodgrains like millets. Millets can also solve global malnutrition and hunger. We all must celebrate the International Year of Millets with great enthusiasm next year. Excellencies, India’s energy-security is also important for global growth, as it is the world’s fastest growing economy. We must not promote any restrictions on the supply of energy and stability in the energy market should be ensured. India is committed to clean energy and environment. By 2030, half of our electricity will be generated from renewable sources. Time-bound and affordable finance and sustainable supply of technology to developing countries is essential for inclusive energy transition. Excellencies, During India’s G-20 Presidency, we will work for global consensus on all these issues. Thank you.","বালিত অনুষ্ঠিত জি-২০ সন্মিলনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী শ্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ, প্ৰথম অধিৱেশনঃ খাদ্য আৰু শক্তি সুৰক্ষা" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/india-central-asia-virtual-summit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%87/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi hosted the first India-Central Asia Summit in virtual format on 27 January 2022, which was attended by Presidents of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Republic of Uzbekistan.

It’s no less than our good fortune that all of us have gathered here in this manner on the occasion of Yoga day on this land of mother Ganges where four holy shrines are located, the land which was visited by AdiShankaracharya and whereSwami Vivekanandalso came several times. Even otherwise, Uttarakhand has been the main centre for Yoga for several decades. These mountains of Uttarakhand spontaneously inspire us for Yoga and Ayurveda. Even a common man gets a unique diving feeling when he visits this place. There is an incredible spirit, vibrations and magnetic power in this holy land. Friends, It’s a matter of pride for all Indians that today as the rising sun will progress on its journey, as the sunrays will reach the earth and light is spread, in all those places people will welcome the sun with Yoga. From Dehradun to Dublin, from Shanghai to Chicago, from Jakarta to Johannesburg, everywhere, there is Yoga all around. Whether it is thousands of feet high mountains of Himalaya or be it desert area singed by sunlight, Yoga is flourishing the life in every situation. When divisive powers gain prominence then it leads to disintegration. It leads to division among the people, division among the societies and division among the countries. When there is a division in the society then it leads todiscord within the family and the person breaks down from inside and tension in life continuesto grow. Yoga helps to maintain balance amidst this disintegration. It does the job of uniting us. Yoga brings about peace in this modern fast paced life by combining the body, mind, spirit and soul. It brings about peace in the family by uniting the person with the family. It brings about a harmony in the society by making the family sensitive towards society. Societies become the links for national integration. And this kind of countries bring about peace and harmony in the world. And humanity flourishes and gainstrength from this feeling of brotherhood. It means Yoga unites individuals, families, societies, countries and the world and it unites the entire humanity. When the proposal for Yoga Day was moved in the United Nations then it is a record in the United Nations that this was the first such motion that was co-sponsored by the maximum number of countries in the world. And this was the first such proposal in the history of United Nations which was approved in the least time. And today every citizen of the world, every country of the world considers Yoga as its own and it is an important message for the people of India that we are the inheritors of that great legacy, that we have preserved the legacy of that great tradition. If we start taking pride in our legacy and if we abandon those things which are out of sync with the time, and that kind of thing doesn’t last either. However, what is appropriate as per the time and which is useful in making of the future, if we take pride in our great legacy of this kind then the world too will never hesitate in taking pride in that. But if we don’t have any trust in our own strength and capabilities then no one will accept it. If a family itself continues to demoralise a child in the family and if that family expects that the kid will be respected in the locality then it is not possible. When parents, when family, when brothers and sisters, all of them accept a child as it is only then the neighbours also start accepting the child. Today, Yoga has proved this thing that as India has once again attached itself to the power of Yoga, similarly, the world too has started attaching itself with the Yoga. Today, Yoga has become one of the most powerful unifying forces in the world. I can say it with full sense of confidence that today if we gather the number of people doing Yoga in the entire world then incredible facts will be revealed to the world. People gathering for Yoga, people like you gathering for Yoga in different countries, in parks, in open grounds, on the sides of the roads, in offices and homes, in hospitals, in schools and colleges, in the historic buildings, have been providing further energy to the feeling of this universal brotherhood and global friendship. Friends, the world has embraced Yoga and glimpses of this can be seen in the manner in which International Day of Yoga has been marked every year. Infact, Yoga Day has become one of the biggest mass movements in the quest for good health and well-being. Friends, from Tokyo to Toronto, from Stockholm to Sao Paulo, Yoga has become a positive influence in the lives of millions. Yoga is beautiful because it is ancient yet modern…it is constant yet evolving. It has the best of our past and presents and a ray of hope for our future. In Yoga, we have the perfect solution to the problems we face, either as individuals or in our society. Ours is a world that never sleeps. At every given point, there is something happening in a different part of the world. A fast-paced existence brings with it lot of stress. I was shocked to read that every year, almost 18 million people all over the world die due to heart-related diseases. About 1.6 million people lose the fight against diabetes. The way to lead a calm, creative and content life is Yoga. It can show the way in defeating tensions and mindless anxiety. Instead of dividing, Yoga always unites. Instead of further animosity, Yoga assimilates. Instead of increasing suffering, Yoga heals. Practicing Yoga has the ability to herald an era of peace, happiness and brotherhood. More people practicing Yoga means the world needs more people to teach it. Over the last three years many individuals are teaching Yoga, new institutions are being set up and even technology is connecting people to Yoga. I urge you all to build on this momentum in the times to come. May this Yoga Day become an opportunity to deepen our connect with Yoga and motivate people around us to practice it. This can be the enduring impact of this day. Friends, Yoga has shown the path of wellness to the world from the path of illness. This is the reason because of which the acceptance for Yoga throughout the world has been increasing so rapidly. It has revealed in the studies conducted by Coventry University and Radboud University that Yoga not only provides relief to our bodies but it can also reverse those molecular reactions taking place in our DNA that cause illness and depression. We can protect ourselves from several diseases in addition to having a good heath if we daily practice the poses and breathing exercise of Yoga. Regular practice of Yoga has a direct bearing on the medical expenses of any family. It is essential for us to stay healthy to join in the every activity, every process of the nation building and Yoga certainly has a big role in this thing too. Therefore, today, I urge you people that those who have been practicing Yoga please make it regular, and those who could not start doing Yoga so far they must make an effort once. Friends, the increasing spread of Yoga has brought the world to India and India to the world even closer. The position that Yoga has got in the world due to constant efforts made by us that position will be further strengthened with the time. It is our responsibility to further develop the understanding about Yoga for a healthy and happy humanity. Please come forward, let us further intensify our efforts by keeping our responsibility in the mind. From this holy land, I once again convey my best wishes to the Yoga enthusiast all over the world. I convey my sincere regards to the government of Uttarakhand for organising this event. Thank you very much.",২১.০৬.২০১৮ত দেৰাডুনত আয়োজিত চতুর্থ আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় যোগ দিৱসত প্রধানমন্ত্রীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-the-finance-minister-and-her-team-for-a-people-friendly-and-progressive-budget/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF/,"“Budget this year has come with a new confidence of development amidst the once-in-a-century calamity” “This Budget will create new opportunities for the common people along with providing strength to the economy” “Budget is full of opportunities for more Infrastructure, more Investment, more growth, and more jobs.” “Welfare of the poor is one of the most important aspect of this budget” “Budget’s provisions aim to make agriculture lucrative and full of new opportunities” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has said that the Budget this year has come with a new confidence of development amidst the once-in-a-century calamity. “This Budget will create new opportunities for common people along with providing strength to the economy”, he said.

Out of the 17000-18000 species of flowering plants, more than 7000 are estimated to have medicinal usage in folk and documented systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha & Homoeopathy (AYUSH System of Medicine). About 1178 species of medicinal plants are estimated to be in trade of which 242 species have annual consumption levels in excess of 100 metric tonnes/year. Medicinal plants are not only a major resource base for the traditional medicine & herbal industry but also provide livelihood and health security to a large segment of Indian population. There is global resurgence in traditional and alternative health care systems resulting in world herbal trade which stands at US$ 120 billion and is expected to reach US$ 7 trillion by 2050. Moreover, there are a large number of medicinal plants, particularly those found in tropical region, which are common to the two countries given similar geo-climatic factors.

We will benefit from these achievements, and build further upon them. However, as India assumes this important mantle, I ask myself – can the G20 go further still? Can we catalyse a fundamental mindset shift, to benefit humanity as a whole? I believe we can. Our mindsets are shaped by our circumstances. Through all of history, humanity lived in scarcity. We fought for limited resources, because our survival depended on denying them to others. Confrontation and competition – between ideas, ideologies and identities – became the norm. Unfortunately, we remain trapped in the same zero-sum mindset even today. We see it when countries fight over territory or resources. We see it when supplies of essential goods are weaponised. We see it when vaccines are hoarded by a few, even as billions remain vulnerable. Some may argue that confrontation and greed are just human nature. I disagree. If humans were inherently selfish, what would explain the lasting appeal of so many spiritual traditions that advocate the fundamental one-ness of us all? One such tradition, popular in India, sees all living beings, and even inanimate things, as composed of the same five basic elements – the panch tatva of earth, water, fire, air and space. Harmony among these elements – within us and between us – is essential for our physical, social and environmental well-being. India’s G20 Presidency will work to promote this universal sense of one-ness. Hence our theme – ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’. This is not just a slogan. It takes into account recent changes in human circumstances, which we have collectively failed to appreciate. Today, we have the means to produce enough to meet the basic needs of all people in the world. Today, we do not need to fight for our survival – our era need not be one of war. Indeed, it must not be one! Today, the greatest challenges we face – climate change, terrorism, and pandemics – can be solved not by fighting each other, but only by acting together. Fortunately, today’s technology also gives us the means to address problems on a humanity-wide scale. The massive virtual worlds that we inhabit today demonstrate the scalability of digital technologies. Housing one-sixth of humanity, and with its immense diversity of languages, religions, customs and beliefs, India is a microcosm of the world. With the oldest-known traditions of collective decision-making, India contributes to the foundational DNA of democracy. As the mother of democracy, India’s national consensus is forged not by diktat, but by blending millions of free voices into one harmonious melody. Today, India is the fastest growing large economy. Our citizen-centric governance model takes care of even our most marginalised citizens, while nurturing the creative genius of our talented youth. We have tried to make national development not an exercise in top-down governance, but rather a citizen-led ‘people’s movement’. We have leveraged technology to create digital public goods that are open, inclusive and inter-operable. These have delivered revolutionary progress in fields as varied as social protection, financial inclusion, and electronic payments. For all these reasons, India’s experiences can provide insights for possible global solutions. During our G20 Presidency, we shall present India’s experiences, learnings and models as possible templates for others, particularly the developing world. Our G20 priorities will be shaped in consultation with not just our G20 partners, but also our fellow-travellers in the global South, whose voice often goes unheard. Our priorities will focus on healing our ‘One Earth’, creating harmony within our ‘One Family’ and giving hope for our ‘One Future’. For healing our planet, we will encourage sustainable and environment-friendly lifestyles, based on India’s tradition of trusteeship towards nature. For promoting harmony within the human family, we will seek to depoliticise the global supply of food, fertilizers and medical products, so that geo-political tensions do not lead to humanitarian crises. As in our own families, those whose needs are the greatest must always be our first concern. For imbuing hope in our future generations, we will encourage an honest conversation among the most powerful countries – on mitigating risks posed by weapons of mass destruction and enhancing global security. India’s G20 agenda will be inclusive, ambitious, action-oriented, and decisive. Let us join together to make India’s G20 Presidency a Presidency of healing, harmony and hope.

Brazzale ji, IDF DG Caroline Emond ji, other dignitaries present here, ladies and gentlemen! I am glad that today experts and innovators in the dairy sector from across the world have congregated in India. On behalf of the animals of India, the citizens of India, and the Government of India, I warmly welcome all the dignitaries who have come from different countries to the World Dairy Summit . The potential of the dairy sector not only fuels the rural economy, but it is also a major source of livelihood for crores of people around the world. I am sure this summit will play a vital role in enhancing each other’s knowledge and learning from each other in terms of ideas, technology, expertise and traditions related to the dairy sector. Friends, Today’s event is being held at a time when India has completed 75 years of its independence. Incidentally, more than 75 lakh dairy farmers of India have also joined us in this event via technology. Last mile beneficiaries of such Summits are our farmer brothers and sisters. I also welcome and congratulate my farmer friends on the occasion of the World Dairy Summit. Friends, Livestock and milk business have been an integral part of India’s culture dating back thousands of years. This legacy of ours has empowered the dairy sector of India with certain characteristics. I would like to specifically mention these features in front of the experts who have come here from other countries. Friends, Unlike other developed countries of the world, the small farmers are the driving force of the dairy sector in India. India’s dairy sector is characterized by “production by masses” rather than “mass production”. Most of the farmers associated with the dairy sector in India have either one animal, two cattle or three cattle. Due to the hard work of these small farmers and their livestock, today India is the largest milk producing country in the whole world. Today this sector provides employment to more than 8 crore families in India. You will rarely find such uniqueness of the Indian dairy sector anywhere else. Today, I am also mentioning this in the World Dairy Summit because it can become a great business model for the farmers of the poor countries of the world. Friends, The dairy sector of India has another unique feature. So, the second feature of our dairy sector is India’s Dairy Cooperative System. Today there is such a huge network of Dairy Cooperative in India that could be hardly found anywhere else in the whole world. These dairy cooperatives collect milk twice a day from about 2 crore farmers in more than two lakh villages of the country, and deliver it to the customers. There is no middle man in the whole process, and more than 70 percent of the money received from the customers goes directly into the pockets of the farmers. Moreover, if I talk about the state of Gujarat, all this money goes directly into the bank accounts of women. No other country has such a high ratio in the whole world. Now, due to the digital revolution happening in India, most of the transactions in the dairy sector are taking place at a very fast pace. I believe that studying the Dairy Cooperatives of India and getting information about it as well as the digital payment system developed in the dairy sector, can be of great use to the farmers of many countries of the world. There is another great strength and uniqueness of India’s Dairy Sector and that is our Indigenous Species. Local breeds of cows and buffaloes that India have, are known to survive even under the toughest weather conditions. I would like to give you the example of the banni buffalo of Gujarat. It is surprising to see the way the banni buffaloes are acclimatized to the desert conditions of Kutch. The days are very hot and sunny. Therefore, banni buffaloes come out to graze in the low temperature of the night. Our friends who have come from abroad will also be surprised to know that while grazing, these animals do not have any herder along with them. The banni buffaloes go to the pastures near the villages all by themselves. There is less water in the desert but the banni buffaloes can survive on that little water. The banni buffalo comes home on its own in the morning even after treading 10-15 kilometers in the night for grazing. It is rarely heard that someone’s banni buffalo is lost or has gone to the wrong house. I have given you the example of only banni buffalo, but in India many buffalo breeds like Murrah, Mehsana, Jafrabadi, Nili Ravi, Pandharpuri are still developing in their own way. Similarly, there are cow breeds like Gir cow, Sahiwal, Rathi, Kankrej, Tharparkar, Haryana, and so on and so forth, which make India’s dairy sector unique. Most of these animals of Indian breed are also climate comfortable and equally adjusting. Friends, So far I have told you the three unique features of the dairy sector of India, which is its identity i.e. the power of small farmers, the power of cooperatives and the power of Indian breed animals together builds up a completely different strength. But there is also a fourth unique feature of India’s dairy sector, which is not discussed as much and does not get as much recognition. Our guests from abroad will probably be surprised to know that women power represents 70% of the workforce in India’s dairy sector. Women are the real leaders of India’s dairy sector. Moreover, more than a third of the members of dairy cooperatives in India too are women. The driving force of the Indian dairy sector worth Rs. 8.5 lakh crore and whose value is more than the total production of paddy and wheat, is the women living in rural areas of India, i.e. our mothers and daughters. I would also urge all the dignitaries associated with the World Dairy Summit to recognize this role of India’s women power and take it to various global platforms. Friends, Since 2014, our government has worked relentlessly to enhance the potential of India’s dairy sector. Today its result is visible in terms of milk production as well as the increased income of farmers. In 2014, India produced 146 million tonnes of milk. Now it has increased to 210 million tonnes. That is, an increase of about 44 percent! Today, milk production is growing at the rate of 2% in the whole world, whereas in India its growth rate is more than 6 percent. The per capita availability of milk in India is much higher than the world average. In the last 3-4 years, our government has directly transferred about 2 lakh crore rupees to the bank accounts of small farmers of India. A large part of this has also gone into the accounts of farmers associated with the dairy sector. Friends, Today our focus is on building a balanced dairy ecosystem in the country; an ecosystem in which our focus is not only on the quality of milk and allied products, but also on addressing other challenges. Additional income of the farmers, empowerment of the poor, cleanliness, chemical free farming, clean energy and animal care are all intertwined. That is, we are making the dairy sector and animal husbandry a big medium for a green and sustainable growth in the villages of India. Rashtriya Gokul Mission, Gobardhan Yojana, digitization of dairy sector and universal vaccination for animals are some of the efforts in this direction. Moreover, the campaign to stop single-use plastic in India is also of great importance from the point of view of environment protection as well as for the animals. Animal rights activists and animal lovers who believe in kindness to animals and in livestock are concerned about their welfare. It is known very well how dangerous plastic is for animals; how dangerous it is for cows and buffaloes. We have started a very persistent effort to eliminate single-use plastic as well. Friends, The scale of India’s dairy sector is being expanded further by connecting it with science. India is building the largest database of dairy animals. Every animal associated with the dairy sector is being tagged. With the help of modern technology, we are undertaking biometric identification of animals. We have named it- ‘Pashu Aadhaar’. Digital identification of animals is being done through Pashu Aadhaar, which will help in expanding the market related to dairy products along with keeping an eye on their health. Friends, Today, India’s focus is also on promoting entrepreneurship and businesses in the field of animal husbandry. We are uniting the power of small farmers associated with the dairy sector through Farmer Producer Organizations and the Self-Help Groups of women, turning them into a major market force. We are also using our young talent to build start-ups in the agriculture and dairy sectors. You will also be glad to know that in the last 5-6 years, more than 1000 start-ups have been formed in the agriculture and dairy sectors in India. Friends, The Gobardhan scheme is an example of how India is making unique efforts in this area. A short while back, Rupala ji had described the increasing importance of cow dung in the economy. Today a massive campaign is going on in India to generate biogas and bio-CNG from animal dung. We are trying to ensure that dairy plants can meet most of their electricity requirements from cow dung. This is one of the ways with which farmers are making additional income. The organic manure that is made in this process will give farmers an affordable way for farming. This will also reduce the cost of cultivation and the soil will also be safe. In India today, unprecedented emphasis is being laid on natural farming, in which animals play a major role. Friends, I often say that monoculture is not the only solution in farming. Instead diversity is much needed. This also applies to animal husbandry. Therefore, in India today attention is being paid to both indigenous breeds and hybrid breeds. This will also reduce the risk of damage caused by climate change. Friends, Another major problem is the diseases in animals. When an animal falls sick, it affects the life of the farmer, impacting his income. It also affects the efficiency of the animal, the quality of its milk and other related products. That is why in India, we are also emphasizing on universal vaccination of animals. We have resolved that by 2025, we will vaccinate 100% of the animals against Foot and Mouth Disease and Brucellosis. We are aiming to completely eradicate these diseases by the end of this decade. Friends, While having this discussion with you today, I also wish to mention the latest challenge faced by the dairy sector. In the recent past, there has been a loss of livestock due to the disease named Lumpy in many states of India. The central government, along with various state governments, is striving hard to control it. Our scientists have also developed an indigenous vaccine for Lumpy Skin Disease. Apart from vaccination, efforts are being made to control the disease by speeding up the investigation and controlling the movement of animals. Friends, Be it animal vaccination or other technology, India has always been ready to contribute to the dairy sector of the whole world and learn from all its partner countries. India has also acted very quickly on its food safety standards. Today India is working on such a digital system for the livestock sector, which will capture the end to end activities of this sector. This will provide accurate information needed to improve this sector. This summit will put forth similar work that is being done around the world like such technologies. It will also suggest ways by which we can share the expertise related to this. I invite the global leaders of the dairy industry to join the drive to empower the dairy sector in India. I also appreciate the International Dairy Federation for their excellent work and contribution. Once again my heartiest welcome to all of you who have come from abroad! After a long time, after almost 5 decades, India has got the opportunity to welcome you all and to discuss various topics. The nectar that will emerge from this brainstorming will help in developing the economy of the country’s rural life in this ‘Amritkaal’ and also in further strengthening the capacity of the country’s livestock and in the empowerment of the poorest of the poor. It will be a great contribution! With this expectation and hope, many thanks to all of you. Best wishes. Thank you.",আন্তৰ্জাতিক দুগ্ধ ফেডাৰেচন বিশ্ব দুগ্ধ সন্মিলন ২০২২ৰ উদ্বোধনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/phone-call-between-pm-and-h-e-nguyen-phu-trong-general-secretary-of-the-communist-party-of-vietnam/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8-45/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had a phone call today with His Excellency Nguyen Phu Trong, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

His visit comes as both countries mark 25 years of our diplomatic relationship this year. We have earlier had the pleasure of receiving President Lukashenku in India in 1997 and in 2007. During this visit, I hope Your Excellency will get a chance to see and experience the transformations taking place in India. Our discussions today were wide-ranging and forward-looking. They were marked by the warmth of our ties over two and a half decades. We exchanged views on bilateral issues and on regional and global developments. We reviewed the architecture of our partnership. We considered ideas and initiatives for further expanding it. We decided to enhance our interaction in all aspects of cooperation. I found in President Lukashenku matching enthusiasm and desire to scale up our partnership for the benefit of our people. To this end, we will work to diversify economic linkages. The focuswill be to build upon the natural complementarity between us. Our companies have to evolve from a buyer-seller framework to deeper engagement. There are abundant business and investment opportunities in pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, heavy machinery and equipment. Last year, Indian companies made a positive beginning with three joint ventures in pharmaceuticals. Possibilities for partnership also exist in manufacturing of tyres, agro-industrial machinery, and mining equipment. Similarly, in heavy-duty construction machinery India has a growing demand and Belarus has industrial strengths. We will also encourage joint development and manufacturing in defence sector under the Make in India programme. We have also progressed our discussion on utilising the US$ 100 million line of credit that India had offered in 2015 in specific projects in Belarus. India is linked with Belarus under multilateral economic initiatives such as the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and the International North South Transport Corridor. India is negotiating a Free Trade Agreement with the EEU. Friends, Science and technology is another area of focus for stronger cooperation. Belarus is a long-time partner in this field. Innovation and commercialisation will be given due emphasis in fields like metallurgy & materials, nano-materials, biological & medical sciences, and chemical & engineering sciences. We envisage participation of our youth in this process. We are exploring the setting up of a technology demonstration Centre in India to showcase Belarusian technology. Another dimension of India’s partnership with Belarus lies in development cooperation. Belarus is an active participant in Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation programme. In international forums, our two countries have close cooperation and common approaches on matters of mutual interest. India and Belarus will continue extending mutual support for each other in multilateral fora. Friends, President Lukashenku and I discussed the rich history of cultural interactions between our people, which has nurtured goodwill. I was pleased to learn that many Belarusians take active interest in Indian culture, cuisine, films, music, dance, Yoga and Ayurveda. I see great potential to enhance our tourism and people-to-people exchanges so as to build an even stronger foundation for our relations. In closing, I want to thank President Lukashenku for being our honoured guest. India will work closely with Belarus in the coming days and months to implement today’s consensus and outcomes. I wish President Lukashenku a memorable stay in India. I thank you.","বেলাৰুছৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰপতিৰ ৰাজনৈতিক ভ্ৰমণৰ সময়ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ প্ৰেছ-বিজ্ঞপ্তি (১২ ছেপ্তেম্বৰ, ২০১৭)" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-participates-in-14th-brics-summit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%B6-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%9B-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi led India’s participation at the 14th BRICS Summit, convened under the Chairship of President Xi Jinping of China on 23-24 June 2022, in a virtual format.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome Prime Minister Kishida on his first visit to India as Prime Minister of Japan. On behalf of the whole of India, I convey my condolences for the loss of life and property due to the earthquake in Japan a few days ago. Friends, Prime Minister Kishida has been an old friend of India. He had visited India several times as Foreign Minister, and I had the opportunity to exchange views with him. Prime Minister Kishida has played a key role in the unprecedented progress that has been seen in the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership over the last few years. Today’s summit has been organized at a very important time. The world is still grappling with Covid-19 and its effects. The process of global economic recovery is still being hampered. Geo-political events are also presenting new challenges. In this context, further deepening of the India-Japan partnership is not only important for both the countries. This will also promote peace, prosperity and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and at the entire world level. Our mutual trust, our shared values such as our civilizational ties, democracy, freedom, and rule of law, are at the core of our relations, giving them strength. Our discussions today have paved the way for taking our mutual cooperation to new heights. We exchanged views on a number of regional and global issues besides bilateral issues. We also decided to increase our coordination at the United Nations and other international fora. Friends, The India-Japan Economic Partnership has made unprecedented progress over the last several years. There is tremendous trust, enthusiasm in the businesses of both countries. Japan is one of the largest investors in India, a world class partner. We are very grateful for this contribution. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail project is progressing well. Both the countries are working on this with the approach of ‘One Team One Project’. This project is a great example of India-Japan partnership. I am happy that we have exceeded the investment target of three point five trillion Japanese yen set in 2014. Now we have decided to take our ambitions to new heights and have set a new target of five trillion yen, which means about three lakh twenty thousand crore rupees in the coming five years. You all know that in the last few years, India has adopted comprehensive economic reforms and has taken a big leap in ease of doing business. Today India presents limitless possibilities for “Make in India for the world”. In this context, Japanese companies have been our brand ambassadors for a long time. New dimensions are being added to the partnership between us in technology and innovation sectors. We are committed to provide a conducive environment for Japanese companies in India. The India-Japan Industrial Competitiveness Partnership Roadmap launched today will prove to be an effective mechanism for this. Our skills partnership with Japan will also play an effective role in this direction. Friends, Both India and Japan understand the importance of secure, trusted, predictable and stable energy supply. It is very essential for achieving the goal of sustainable economic growth and to tackle the problem of climate change. Our Clean Energy Partnership will prove to be a decisive step in this direction. Today we have agreed on many other important points and announcements have been made. This visit of Prime Minister Kishida has been successful in adding new dimensions to the India-Japan special strategic and global partnership. Once again, I extend a very warm welcome to Prime Minister Kishida and his delegation to India.

It will help the region access petroleum products from the Bina refinery. Prime Minister will be the Chief Guest of the 54th Convocation of IIT Kanpur. During the convocation, all the students will be issued digital degrees through an in-house blockchain-driven technology developed at the Institute under the National Blockchain Project. Prime Minister will launch the blockchain based digital degrees. These digital degrees can be verified globally and are unforgeable.",প্রধানমন্ত্রীয়ে অহা ২৮ ডিচেম্বৰত কানপুৰ ভ্ৰমণ কৰিব আৰু কানপুৰ মেট্রো ৰে’ল প্রকল্পৰ উদ্বোধন কৰি https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-in-the-92nd-episode-of-mann-ki-baat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%AE-%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%AE-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4/,"My dear countrymen, Namaskar! In this month of August, all your letters, messages and cards have soaked my office in the hues of the tricolor. I have hardly come across any letter which does not carry the tricolor, or does not talk about the tricolor and Freedom. Children and young friends have sent beautiful pictures and artwork on the Amrit Mahotsav. In this month of independence, in our entire country, in every city, every village, the nectar of Amrit Mahotsav is flowing. On this special occasion of Amrit Mahotsav and Independence Day, we have seen the collective might of the country. There has been a sense of realisation. Such a big country, so many diversities, but when it came to hoisting the tricolor, everyone seemed to flow in the same spirit. People themselves came forward, becoming the vanguard of the pride of the tricolor. We had also seen the spirit of the country in the cleanliness campaign and the vaccination campaign. We are getting to witness the same spirit of patriotism again in the Amrit Mahotsav. Our soldiers hoisted the tricolor on the peaks of high mountains, on the borders of the country, and in the middle of the sea. People also came up with different innovative ideas for the tricolor campaign. Such as young friend, Krishnil Anil ji. Anil ji is a puzzle artist and has created beautiful tricolor mosaic art in record time. In Kolar, Karnataka, people presented a unique sight by holding the tricolor that was 630 feet long and 205 feet wide. In Assam, government employees created a 20 feet tricolor with their own hands to hoist at the Dighalipukhuri War memorial. Similarly, people in Indore made the map of India through a human chain. In Chandigarh, the youth made a giant human tricolor. Both these efforts have also been recorded in the Guinness Records. In the midst of all this, a great inspirational example was also seen at the Gangot Panchayat of Himachal Pradesh. Here the children of migrant laborers were included as chief guests in the Independence Day Programme of the Panchayat. Friends, these colors of the Amrit Mahotsav were seen not only in India, but also in other countries of the world. Local singers living in Botswana sang 75 patriotic songs to celebrate 75 years of India’s independence. What is more special in this is that these 75 songs were sung in languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bangla, Assamese, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Sanskrit. Similarly, in Namibia, a special stamp has been released on the Indo-Namibian cultural-traditional relations. Friends, I want to share with you another thing of joy. Just a few days ago, I got an opportunity to attend a program of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India. There, they had organised the screening of ‘Swaraj’, the Doordarshan serial. I got an opportunity to attend its premiere . This is a great initiative to acquaint the younger generation of the country with the efforts of unsung heroes and heroines who took part in the freedom movement. It is telecast every Sunday at 9 pm on Doordarshan. And I was told that is going to continue for 75 weeks. I urge you to take time out to watch it yourself and do show it to the children of the house. And people from schools-colleges can also record it and compose a special program when the school-college opens on Monday, so that a new awakening will arise in our country about these great heroes of the birth of Freedom. The Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav will continue till next year i.e. August 2023. For the country, for the freedom fighters, the writings and events that we have been organising, we have to carry them forward. My dear countrymen, the knowledge of our forefathers, the farsightedness of our ancestors and the EkAtmaChintan, integral self realisation is so significant even today; when we go deep into it, we are filled with wonder. Our thousands of years old Rigveda! In Rigveda it is said:- Oman-mapo manushi: amritkam dhaat tokay tanayaaya shyamyo: | Yooyam Hisatha Bhishjo Matritama Vishwasya Sthatu: Jagato Janitri: || Meaning – O water, you are the best friend of humanity. You are the giver of life, food is produced from you, and from you is the well-being of our children. You are the protector of us and keep us away from all evils. You are the best medicine, and you are the sustainer of this universe. Think about it…the importance of water and water conservation has been explained in our culture thousands of years ago. When we see this knowledge in today’s context, we are thrilled, but when the nation accepts this knowledge as its strength, then their power increases manifold. You will remember, in ‘Mann Ki Baat’, I had talked about Amrit Sarovar four months ago. After that, the local administration got active in different districts, voluntary organizations came together and local people connected… – and Lo & behold, the construction of Amrit Sarovars has become a mass movement. When there is a deep feeling to do something for the country, realize one’s duties, concern for the coming generations, then the capabilities also get added up, and the resolve becomes noble. I have come to know of a brilliant effort from Warangal in Telangana. A new Gram Panchayat has been formed here, named ‘Mangtya-Valya Thanda’. This village is close to the Forest Area. There was a place near the village where a lot of water used to accumulate during monsoon. On the initiative of the villagers, this place is now being developed under the Amrit Sarovar campaign. This time due to the rains during the monsoon, this lake has been filled to the brim with water. I also want to tell you about the Amrit Sarovar built in Mocha Gram Panchayat in Mandla, Madhya Pradesh. This Amrit Sarovar is built near the Kanha National Park and has further enhanced the beauty of this area. The newly constructed Shaheed Bhagat Singh Amrit Sarovar in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh is also drawing a lot of people. This lake, built in the Niwari Gram Panchayat, is spread over 4 acres. The tree plantation on the shoreline of the lake is enhancing its beauty. People are also coming from far and wide to see the 35 feet high tricolor near the lake. This campaign of Amrit Sarovars is going on in full swing in Karnataka as well. Here in the village ‘Bilkerur’ of Bagalkot district, people have built a very beautiful Amrit Sarovar. In fact, in this area, people had a lot of problems because of the water flowing down from the mountain; farmers and their crops also suffered losses. To make the Amrit Sarovar, the people of the village channelized all the water and brought it aside. This also solved the problem of floods in the area. The Amrit Sarovar Abhiyan not only solves many of our problems today; it is equally necessary for our coming generations. Under this campaign, at many places, old water bodies are also being rejuvenated. Amrit Sarovars are being used for quenching the thirst of animals as well as for farming. Due to these ponds, the ground water table of the surrounding areas has risen. At the same time, greenery is also increasing around them. Not only this, people at many places are also engaged in preparations for fish farming in Amrit Sarovars. I urge all of you, especially my young friends, to actively participate in the Amrit Sarovar campaign and lend full strength to these efforts of water conservation & water storage and take them forward. My dear countrymen, an interesting project is being run in Bongai village of Assam – Project Sampoorna. The purpose of this project is to fight against malnutrition and the method too is very unique. Under this, the mother of a healthy child from an Anganwadi center meets the mother of a malnourished child every week and discusses all the nutrition related information. That is, one mother becomes a friend of another mother, helps her, and teaches her. With the help of this project, in this region, in one year, malnutrition has been eradicated in more than 90 percent children. Can you imagine, whether song and music and bhajans can also be used to remove malnutrition? It was successfully used in “Mera Bachha Campaign”; the “Mera Bachha Abhiyan” in Datia district of Madhya Pradesh. Under this, bhajan-kirtans were organized in the district, in which teachers as nutrition gurus were called. A Matka program was also held, in which women bring a handful of grains to the Anganwadi center and with this grain, a ‘Balbhoj’ is organized on Saturdays. Besides this increase in the attendance of children in Anganwadi centers, malnutrition has also shown a dip. A unique campaign is also going on in Jharkhand to increase awareness about malnutrition. A snake-ladder game has been prepared in Giridih, Jharkhand. Through play, children learn about good and bad habits. Friends, I am telling you about so many innovative experiments related to malnutrition, because all of us also have to join this campaign in the coming month. The month of September is dedicated to festivals as well as a big campaign related to nutrition. We celebrate the Poshan Maah every year from the 1st to the 30th of September. Many creative and diverse efforts are being made all over the country against malnutrition. Better use of technology and also public participation has become an important part of the Nutrition campaign. From providing mobile devices to millions of Anganwadi workers in the country, a Poshan Tracker has also been launched to monitor the accessibility of Anganwadi services. In all the Aspirational Districts and the states of the North East, 14 to 18 year old daughters have also been brought under the purview of the POSHAN Abhiyaan. The solution to the malady of malnutrition is not limited just to these steps – in this fight, many other initiatives also play an important role. For example, take the Jal Jeevan Mission…this mission is also going to have a huge impact in making India malnutrition free. Efforts for social awareness play an important role in tackling the challenges of malnutrition. I would urge all of you in the coming nutrition month, to take part in the efforts to eradicate malnutrition. My dear countrymen, Sridevi Varadarajan ji from Chennai has sent me a reminder. She has written something like this on MyGov – There are less than 5 months left for the New Year to come, and we all know that the ensuing New Year will be celebrated as the International Year of Millets. She has also sent me a millet map of the country. She’s also asked if you could discuss this in the upcoming episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. It gives me immense happiness to see this kind of spirit in my countrymen. You will remember that the United Nations has passed a resolution declaring the year 2023 as the International Year of Millets. You will also be very happy to know that this proposal of India had been accepted by more than 70 countries. Today, around the world, craze for these very coarse grains, millets, is rising. Friends, when I talk about coarse grains, I want to share one of my efforts with you today. For the last some time, when any foreign guests come to India, when Heads of State comes to India, it is my endeavor to get dishes made from the millets of India, that is, our coarse grains in the banquets. And the experience has been that these dignitaries have very much relished them and they also try to collect a lot of information about our coarse grains, about Millets. Millets, coarse grains, have been a part of our Agriculture, Culture and Civilization since ancient times. Millets are mentioned in our Vedas, and similarly, they are also mentioned in Purananuru and Tolkappiyam. If you go to any part of the country, you will definitely find different types of Millets in the food of the people there. In millets too, just like our culture, a lot of diversity is found. Jowar, Bajra, Ragi, Sawan, Kangni, Cheena, Kodo, Kutki, Kuttu, all these are just Millets. India is the largest producer of Millets in the world; hence the responsibility of making this initiative a success also rests on the shoulders of us Indians. Together we all have to make it a mass movement, and also increase the awareness of Millets among the people of the country. And friends, you know very well, millets are also beneficial for the farmers and especially the small farmers. In fact, the crop gets ready in a very short time, and does not require much water either. For our small farmers, millets are especially beneficial. Millet hay is also considered the best fodder. Nowadays, the young generation is much focused on Healthy Living and Eating. Even if you look at it this way, millets contain plenty of protein, fiber, and minerals. Many people even call it a Superfood. Millets have many benefits, not just one. Along with reducing obesity, they also reduce the risk of diabetes, hypertension and heart related diseases. Along with that, they are also helpful in preventing stomach and liver ailments. We referred to malnutrition, just a while ago. Millets are also very beneficial in fighting malnutrition, since they are packed with energy as well as protein. Today a lot is being done to promote Millets in the country. Along with focusing on research and innovation related to this, FPOs are being encouraged, so that, production can be increased. It is my request to my farmer brothers and sisters to adopt Millets, that is, coarse grains, more and more and benefit from it. It feels good to see that many such start-ups are emerging today, which are working on Millets. Some of these are making Millet Cookies, while some are also making Millet Pancakes and Dosa. There are some who are making Millet Energy Bars, and Millet Breakfasts. I wish all the very best to all the people working in this field. In this festive season, we also use Millets in most of the dishes. You must share the pictures of such delicacies made in your homes on social media, so that it helps in increasing awareness among people about Millets. My dear countrymen, just a few days ago, I saw news from Jorsing village in Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh. This news was about a change that the people of this village had been waiting for, for many years. In fact, in Jorsing village this month, 4G internet services have started from Independence Day. Like, earlier people used to be happy when electricity reached the village; now, in new India, the same happiness is felt when 4G reaches there. There has been a new sunrise in the form of 4G in the remote areas of Arunachal and North East; internet connectivity has brought a new dawn. Facilities which were once available only in big cities, have been brought to every village through Digital India. For this reason, new digital entrepreneurs are rising in the country. Setha Singh Rawat ji of Ajmer district of Rajasthan runs ‘Darzi Online’, an’E-store’. You will wonder what is Darzi online! Actually, Setha Singh Rawat used to do tailoring work before Covid. When Covid came, Rawat ji did not take this challenge as a difficulty; rather as an opportunity. He joined the ‘common service centre’ i.e. CSC E-Store, and started working online. He saw that customers were placing orders for masks in large numbers. He hired some women and started getting masks made. After this he started his online store named ‘Darzi Online’ in which he started selling stitched clothes of many other kinds. Today, with the power of Digital India, the work of Setha Singh ji has increased so much, that now he gets orders from all over the country. He has given employment to hundreds of women here. Digital India has also turned Om Prakash Singh ji of Unnao, UP into a digital entrepreneur. He has established more than one thousand broadband connections in his village. Om Prakash ji has also built a free wifi zone around his common service centre, which is helping the needy people a lot. Om Prakash ji’s work has increased so much that he has hired more than 20 people. These people are providing broadband connection to the schools, hospitals, tehsil offices and Anganwadi centers of the villages and are also getting employment from it. Like the common service center, there are many such success stories are being seen on the Government E-market place i.e. GEM portal. Friends, I get many such messages from villages, which share with me the changes brought about by the internet. The internet has changed the way our young friends study and learn. For example, when Gudiya Singh of UP came to her in-laws’ house in Amoiya village of Unnao, she was worried about her studies. But, BharatNet resolved her concern. Gudiya carried on her studies through the internet, and also completed her graduation. How many such lives in villages are getting new strength from the Digital India campaign. Do write to me as much as you can about the Digital Entrepreneurs of the villages, and also share their success stories on social media. My dear countrymen, sometime back, I received a letter from Ramesh ji, a listener of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ from Himachal Pradesh. Ramesh ji has enumerated many specialities of the hills in his letter. He wrote that the settlements on the mountains might be far apart, but the hearts of the people are very close to each other. Indeed, we can learn a lot from the lives of the people living in the hills. The first lesson we get from the lifestyle and culture of the hills is that if we do not come under the pressure of circumstances, we can easily overcome them, and secondly, how we can become self-sufficient with local resources. The first lesson that I mentioned, a beautiful picture of it is being seen in the Spiti region these days. Spiti is a tribal area. Here, these days, pea plucking goes on. This is a laborious and difficult task on hill farms. But here, the women of the village gather, and together, pluck peas from each other’s fields. Along with this task, women also sing the local song ‘Chhapra Majhi Chhapra’. That is, mutual cooperation here is also a part of folk tradition. The best example of utilization of local resources is also found in Spiti. Farmers who rear cows in Spiti, dry up the dung and fill it in sacks. When winter comes, these sacks are laid out in the sheds where the cows live, which is called khud here. During snowfall, these sacks give protection to the cows from the cold. After winters, this cow dung is used as manure in the fields. That is, the animals’ protection using animal waste, and also manure for the fields. The cost of cultivation is also low, and the yield in the fields is also high. That is why this area, these days, is also becoming an inspiration for natural farming. Friends, many such commendable efforts are also being seen in our, other hill state, Uttarakhand. Many types of medicines and plants are found in Uttarakhand, which are very beneficial for our health. One of them is the fruit – Bedu. It is also known as Himalayan Fig. In this fruit, minerals and vitamins are found in abundance. People consume it not only in the form of fruit, but it is also used in the treatment of many diseases. In view of these qualities of this fruit, now the juice of Bedu, jams, chutneys, pickles and dry fruits prepared by drying them have been launched in the market. With the initiative of the Pithoragarh administration and the cooperation of the local people, it has been successful in bringing Bedu to the market in different forms. Bedu has also been launched in the online market by branding it as Pahari Fig. Due to this, farmers have not only found a new source of income, but the benefits of the medicinal properties of Bedu have started reaching far and wide as well. My dear countrymen, in the beginning of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, today, we referred to the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. Along with the great festival of Independence Day, many more festivals are lined up in the coming days. Just a few days from now, is the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival of worship of Bhagwan Ganesha. Ganesh Chaturthi, that is, the festival of blessings of Ganpati Bappa. The festival of Onam is also commencing before Ganesh Chaturthi. Onam, especially in Kerala, will be celebrated with a sense of peace and prosperity. Hartalika Teej too is on the 30th of August. The festival of Nuakhai will also be celebrated in Odisha on the 1st of September. Nuakhai simply means new food, that is, this too, like many other festivals, is a festival associated with our agricultural traditions. Meanwhile, there will also be the Samvatsari festival of the Jain community. All these festivals of ours are synonymous with our cultural prosperity and vitality. I wish you all the best for these festivals and special occasions. Along with these festivals, tomorrow on the 29th of August, National Sports Day will also be celebrated on the birth anniversary of Major Dhyanchand ji. May our young sportspersons continue to raise the glory of our tricolor on global forums, this will be our tribute to Dhyan Chand ji. Let us all keep working together for the country like this; keep raising the honor of the country…With this wish I conclude my point. Next month, we will have ‘Mann Ki Baat’ once again. Thank you very much!",২৮.০৮.২০২২ তাৰিখে ‘মন কী বাত’ৰ ৯২তম খণ্ডত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-greets-people-on-ganesh-chaturthi-4/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has greeted the people on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi.

The Innovation Fund will be governed by a joint Board which will consist of four members from each country. The MoU envisages promotion of bilateral Industrial R&D and Innovation cooperation in the fields of science and technology by extending support to joint projects for innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes. Such projects will lead to affordable technological innovations in focus areas of mutual interest such as water, agriculture, energy and digital technologies. Institutional support in building up consortia including private industry, enterprises and R&D institutions from India and Israel will be enabled through these collaborative projects. The activities supported by the Joint Fund would increase the techno-economic collaboration between the two countries by investing in jointly developed technology projects and collaborations based on technological innovation. It would leverage the complementary strengths of Israel and India to encourage Israel-Indian joint projects that capitalize on both the national and global marketplace. It would provide a comprehensive set of support tools to encourage joint projects that convert “know-how” into “show-how”. It is expected that this will foster and strengthen the eco-system of innovation and techno-entrepreneurship in India and will contribute directly to the Start-up India programme.",“ভাৰত-ইজৰাইল ঔদ্যোগিক গৱেষণা আৰু উন্নয়ন তথা প্ৰযুক্তিগত উদ্ভাৱন পুঁজি” সন্দৰ্ভত স্বাক্ষৰিত বুজাবুজি চুক্তিত কেবিনেট অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-weightlifter-jeremy-lalrinnunga-on-winning-gold-medal-at-commonwealth-games-2022-in-birmingham/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%9B-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%B0-2/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated weightlifter Jeremy Lalrinnunga on winning Gold Medal at Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.

Today was the Prime Minister’s second address in this series, following his interaction with young entrepreneurs last week. Six groups of young CEOs made presentations before the PM on themes such as Make in India; Doubling Farmers’ Income; World Class Infrastructure; Cities of Tomorrow; Reforming the Financial Sector; and New India by 2022. Appreciating the new ideas and innovations envisaged in the presentations made by the CEOs, the Prime Minister thanked them for the valuable inputs and time devoted to ideation for the benefit of the country. He said the key decision making team of the Government has listened carefully to the presentations, and will surely benefit in their policy-making, from the 360 degree view of issues that have been presented. The Prime Minister said people’s participation is an important element of governance. Similarly, he said, this attempt at CEOs partnership with Government is aimed at enhancing their participation towards welfare of the people, and the nation. Recalling India’s freedom struggle, he said Mahatma Gandhi made all Indians, soldiers for freedom, even as they continued to do their own work. Hence, he helped the freedom struggle become a mass movement. The Prime Minister said that today, development too, must become a mass movement. He said that a spirit should be created, whereby we all set targets for our contribution to India, by 2022. You are my team, and we need to work together to take India forward, the Prime Minister told the CEOs. Giving the example of value addition in agriculture, the Prime Minister said a multi-pronged approach is essential for achieving desired objectives such as doubling of agriculture incomes. Emphasizing the importance of food processing, the Prime Minister said lack of infrastructure is leading to huge losses in the agriculture sector. The Prime Minister said the Union Government has taken a number of decisions that have brought about fundamental transformation. He gave the illustration of decisions taken for urea availability and production – such as gas price pooling; remuneration for excess production etc. This led to additional production of 20 lakh tonnes of urea. He said Neem-coating of urea ended its large scale diversion. He said that the Government wants to move towards making India a less-cash society. He asked CEOs to partner with Government to build momentum in this regard. Similarly, he said that on occasions such as festivals, Khadi could be promoted through gifting etc – and this would greatly help the poor. He said an atmosphere must be created to take the poor along in every sphere of life. The Prime Minister gave the example of Government e-Marketplace (GeM) to show how small traders are competing successfully in provision of supplies to the Government. He said 1000 crore rupees have been transacted through GeM so far and 28,000 suppliers have contributed to this platform. The Prime Minister said Indians must take pride in their own country. He said each one should develop a temperament to promote tourist destinations within India, spontaneously among their contacts. Giving the example of “waste to wealth” entrepreneurs, the Prime Minister said that this can help achieve the objectives of Swachh Bharat and clean environment. He said the aim of entrepreneurs and business should be to provide products which solve simple problems faced by people in the country. Several Union Ministers and senior Government officials were present on the occasion.",নিটী আয়োগে অনুষ্ঠিত কৰা “পৰিৱৰ্তনৰ চেম্পিয়ন” শীৰ্ষক অনুষ্ঠানত দেশৰ যুৱ মুখ্য কাৰ্যবাহী বিষয়াসকলক উদ্দেশ্যি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-expresses-happiness-over-the-peoples-love-towards-khadi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed happiness over the people’s love towards Khadi on birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

My cabinet colleague and MP from this region, Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, Gujarat’s popular and soft spoken Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel ji, National Security Advisor Shri AjitDoval ji, my colleague in Parliament Shri C.R. Patil, Chairman IN-SPACe, Pawan Goenka ji, Secretary, Department of Space, Shri S. Somnath ji, all representatives of India’s space industry, other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen. Today a wonderful chapter has been added in the development journey of modern India of the 21st century. I congratulate all the countrymen and especially the scientific community for the headquarters of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center i.e. IN-SPACe. Nowadays, we see that if the youth have to post something exciting or interesting on social media, they alert it by messaging ‘Watch this space’. The launch of IN-SPACe is like a ‘Watch this space’ moment for India’s space industry. IN-SPACe is an unprecedented opportunity for the youth of India, the best scientific minds of India, to showcase their talent. Whether they are working in the government or in the private sector, IN-SPACe has come up with great opportunities for all. IN-SPACe has a lot of potential to revolutionize India’s space industry and that’s why I would say that ‘Watch this space’…IN-SPACe is for Space, IN-SPACe is for Pace andIN-SPACe is for Ace. Friends, For decades, the private industry associated with the space sector in India was seen only as a vendor. The government itself used to work on all the space missions and projects. Only a handful of parts and equipment were bought from the private sector. The growth of the private sector was blocked by reducing it to just a vendor. A wall was created. The scientists or the youths could not work on their ideas related to the space sector because they were not part of the government system. And who suffered the most? The country was suffering. It is proof that big ideas make winners. The country is launching a campaign today to make winners by reforming the space sector, freeing it from all restrictions and by supporting the private industry through IN-SPACe.Now the private sector will not remain just a vendor but will play the role of big winners in the space sector. When the power of India’s government space institutions and the passion of India’s private sector come together, the sky will also fall short of it. ‘Even the sky is not the limit’! As the world is watching the strength of India’s IT sector today, the strength of India’s space sector will reach new heights in the near future. IN-SPACe will also work to facilitate the transfer of technology between the space industry, start-ups and ISRO. It is also being ensured that the private sector can also use the resources of ISRO and work together with ISRO. Friends, While initiating reforms in the space sector, I always had the immense potential of the youth of India in my mind. I was pleased to listen to the young boys taking steps forward in the start-ups with high spirits. I congratulate all these young people. The youth of India were not getting as many opportunities in the space sector earlier. The youth of the country bring with them innovation, energy and spirit of exploration. Their risk taking capacity is also very high. It is very important for the development of any country. If a youth wants to build a building, can we tell him to get it built from PWD? If any youth wants to innovate, can we tell him that it will happen only from the government facility? It sounds strange but this was the situation prevailing in different sectors in our country.It was the misfortune of the country that the difference between regulations and restrictions was forgotten over time. Today, when the youth of India wants to become a participant in nation building, we cannot put a condition to him that it has to be done through the government route only. Gone is the era of such conditions. Our government is removing every obstacle being faced by the youth and is reforming continuously. Opening up the defence sector to private industry, formulating a modern drone policy, preparing geospatial data guidelines, facilitating ‘Work from Anywhere’ in the Telecom-IT sector, the government is working in every direction. It is our endeavor to create a maximum Ease of Doing Business environment for the private sector of India, so that the private sector of the country can also help the countrymen equally in the Ease of Living. Friends, Before coming here, I was going through the IN-SPACe’s Technical Lab and Clean Room. Here state-of-the-art equipment for the design, fabrication, assembly, integration and testing of satellites will be available to Indian companies. Many more modern facilities and infrastructure will be created here which will help in expanding the capacity of the space industry. Today I also got a chance to visit the exhibition section and interact with people from the space industry and space start-ups. I remember when we were initiating reforms in the space sector some people were apprehensive about private players joining the space industry. But today more than 60 Indian private companies have joined the space sector and are leading it. I am very happy to see them today. I am proud that our private industry colleagues have moved rapidly in the areas of launch vehicle, satellite, grounds segment and space application. Private players from India have also come forward to manufacture PSLV rockets. Moreover, many private companies have even designed their own rockets. This is a glimpse of the limitless possibilities of India’s space sector. I heartily congratulate our scientists, industrialists, young entrepreneurs and all the countrymen for this. And if I have to congratulate anyone the most for this new turning point in this whole journey, it is the people of ISRO.Our former secretary of ISRO is sitting here who led this initiative and now our Somnath ji is taking it forward, and therefore, I give full credit to the ISRO colleagues and scientists. This is not a small decision, friends. Those in the start-up business know that if they have high spirits to offer something to India and the world today it is because of such an important decision. Hence, the entire credit goes to ISRO. ISRO has taken giant steps and tried to move things rapidly for the youth of the country by offering them to join what was once its domain. This in itself is a very revolutionary decision. Friends, We are celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of 75 years of our independence. Behind our successes in independent India, which inspired crores of countrymen and gave them confidence, are our space achievements. When ISRO launches a rocket or sends a mission to space, the entire country becomes part of it and feels proud. The entire country prays for its success and every countryman expresses with joy, enthusiasm and pride when it is successful and considers that success as his own success. And even in the event of something untoward or unimaginable, the entire country stands with its scientists and encourages them.Whether one is scientist, farmer or laborer, whether or not he knows the nuances of science, our space mission becomes the mission of the people of the country. We saw this emotional solidarity during the Mission Chandrayaan. India’s space mission has in a way been the biggest identity of ‘AtmaNirbhar Bharat’. When this campaign gets a boost from India’s private sector, you can imagine the potential of this campaign. Friends, The role of space technology in our life is increasing day by day in the 21st century. The more there are roles and applications, the more possibilities there will be. Space-tech is about to become the basis of a major revolution in the 21st century. Besides space, space-tech is now going to become a technology in our personal space. The role of space technology in the life of ordinary human beings, the way space technology is involved in everyday life, often goes unnoticed. When we turn on TV, there are so many channels available to us. But very few people know that this is happening with the help of satellites. If one has to find traffic before going somewhere or find the shortest route, it is happening with the help of satellites. There are so many projects involving urban planning – building of roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, or monitoring of ground water tables, infra projects, etc. Everything is happening with the help of satellites. Space technology has a big role in the planning and development of our coastal areas. Fishermen going into the seas for fishing also get advance information about sea storms through satellites. The rain forecasts are almost turning out to be correct. Similarly, in the event of a cyclone, the satellite tells us its exact fall point, its direction and the exact time of its landfall. Moreover, space technology is being used in the crop insurance scheme in the agriculture sector and the soil health cards campaign. We cannot even imagine today’s modern aviation sector without space technology.All these topics are related to the life of the common man. You must be aware that we have announced a plan in this year’s budget to make teaching and tuition available to children through TV. Not only this, we are also ensuring availability of syllabus for the children sitting for competitive exams and those who have to take tuitions in bigger cities by paying very expensive fees at their homes only through satellite. We are working in the direction so that children do not have to spend extra money and the child of the poorest of the poor can also get the best tuition on his TV screen, laptops and mobile phones through satellite. Friends, The use of space-tech is going to increase more and more in many such areas in the future. The IN-SPACe and private players need to ensure how to make space technology more accessible to the common man, how space-tech can become a medium to improve the ease of living and how we can use this technology for the development and potential of the country. There are many possibilities in Geo-spatial mapping. The private sector can play a big role in this. We have huge data available from government satellites today. The private sector will also have a lot of data of its own in the near future. This wealth of data is going to provide you with huge power in the world.At present, the global space industry is worth about $ 400 billion. There is a possibility of it becoming a one trillion dollar industry by 2040. We have talent as well as experience, but the private partnership is only 2 per cent. We need to increase our share in the global space industry, and our private sector has a major role in this. I can also see the strong role of India in the field of space tourism and space diplomacy in the near future. It will be a matter of pride for the whole country if India’s space companies become global and we have a global space company. Friends, There are infinite possibilities in our country, but these can never be realized with limited efforts. I assure the youth with scientific temperament and risk taking ability that this process of reforms in the space sector will continue uninterruptedly. A strong mechanism is in place to consider the needs of the private sector and assess business possibilities. IN-SPACe will work as a single window independent nodal agency to meet all the needs of the private sector. India is also working on a new Indian space policy in harmony with government companies, the space industry, startups and institutes. We are also going to come up with a policy soon to promote ease of doing business in the space sector. Friends, For the future of humanity and its development, there are the two areas that are going to be most effective in the future. The sooner we explore it, the more we move forward in this global competition without delay, we can lead and control the circumstances. And those two areas are space and sea. These are going to become a huge force and today we are trying to address them through policies and encouraging the youth of the country to join it. The curiosity of our youth, especially the students, for space is a great force for the development of India’s space industry. It is our endeavor that the students should be continuously acquainted and updated with the subjects related to space through the thousands of Atal Tinkering Labs built in the country. I would also urge the schools and colleges to inform their students about Indian institutions and companies related to space and organize their visitsto these labs. The way the number of Indian private companies is joining this sector will also help them. I don’t know why it was so but before I got this responsibility there existed a system whereby 12-15 leaders like us were invited like VIPs during the launch of a satellite and there was no entry for others. But my thinking is different; my way of working is different. I made a decision when I went there as Prime Minister for the first time. We have noticed that the students of the country have interest and curiosity. Therefore, we made a view gallery at Sriharikota from where satellites are launched. Any citizen or a school student can watch the proceedings and it has a huge capacity. Arrangements have been made so that 10,000 people can watch the launch of the satellite. It may appear to be small, but it is having a huge impact on India. Friends, The inauguration of IN-SPACe headquarters is taking place today. I am also happy that Gujarat is becoming the center of large institutions of national and international level in different sectors. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Bhupendrabhai and his entire team and to all our colleagues of Gujarat government for supporting proactive policies for this initiative. Just a few weeks ago,the work for WHO’s Global Center for Traditional Medicine began in Jamnagar. Be it National Defence University, National Law University, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, National Forensic Science University, National Innovation Foundation, Children’s University, there are so many national institutes around here. The establishment of Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics i.e. BISAG has become an inspiration for other states of the country as well. Now IN-SPACealong with these big institutions will also increase the identity of this place.I urge the youth of the country, especially the youth of Gujarat, to take full advantage of these best Indian institutions. I am sure that India will scale new heights in the space sector with your active role. And on this auspicious occasion, I also congratulate and offer my best wishes to the private sector which has participated with enthusiasm and the youth who came forward with new spirits and resolutions.

The popular Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendra Bhai Patel; my cabinet colleagues Amit Bhai Shah, Mansukh Bhai Mandaviya; my Parliamentary colleague CR Patil; Minister of the Gujarat Government Jagdish Bhai Vishwakarma, MPs, Legislators, all the ministers of the Gujarat Government; all senior dignitaries associated with the cooperative movement! Another major event is running parallel to it in the IFFCO premises. My greetings to the IFFCO Chairman Dileep Bhai, all the members of IFFCO as well as the lakhs of farmers from across the country who are connected to the Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Today we are talking about ‘Sahkar Se Samrudhi’ here. ‘Cooperative’ is also a great medium for the self-reliance of the villages and it holds the energy of self-reliant India. To build a self-reliant India, it is very crucial for the village to be self-reliant. And that’s why according to the path shown by Pujya Bapu and Sardar Sahib, today we are moving forward in that direction, to set up model cooperative villages. Six such villages have already been identified in Gujarat, where complete cooperative systems will be implemented. Friends, Today, even while dedicating the country’s first Nano Urea Plant for self-reliant agriculture, I was really feeling immense pleasure. Just imagine the scenario when the farmer goes to collect the bag of urea. Just think about that situation and l will give you the description of what exactly is going to happen. Now the power of one sack of urea is available in just one bottle. That is, half a litre bottle of nano urea will meet the requirement of one bag full of urea for the farmers. The cost of transportation and everything else will be reduced drastically! Just imagine the huge support this initiative is going to provide to the small farmers. Friends, The modern plant which is set up in Kalol has the capacity to produce 1.5 lakh bottles. But in the future, 8 more such plants are going to be set up in the country. This will reduce foreign dependence on urea and save the country’s money. I hope this innovation will not be limited to nano urea only. I am sure that in future other nano fertilizers will also be available to our farmers. Our scientists are still working on that. Friends, I would like every countryman to understand the importance of the step we have taken towards self-reliance in nanotechnology for fertilizers. India is the world’s second largest consumer of fertilizers but we are at number three in terms of production. Moreover, till 7-8 years ago, most of the urea used to land in black market instead of going to our farms and the farmer had to face hardship. The major urea factories were also compelled to shut down due to lack of new technology. Hence after the formation of the government in 2014, we took the initiative of 100% neem coating of urea. This ensured sufficient urea supply to the farmers of the country. Besides, we also took the initiative of restarting those five closed fertilizer factories in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Telangana. And of those, the factories of UP and Telangana have been reopened and the production is also going on. And the rest will also start production very soon. Friends, India has been heavily dependent on foreign countries for decades to meet its requirement of fertilizers. We import fertilizers. We import almost a quarter of our requirements and our needs for potash and phosphate are met by almost 100% importing from abroad. In the last 2 years, due to the Corona lockdown, the prices of fertilizers in the international market have increased a lot. On top of that, the war aggravated the situation. The war not only limited the availability of fertilizers in the global market but also increased the prices manifold. Friends, Our government that is sensitive towards the farmers realized that the international situation was worrisome. Prices are rising and we are looking at every nook and corner of the world to obtain fertilizers. These are troubled times; there are difficulties. So, we have decided that we will continue to bear all these troubles but will not let the farmers get affected by it. And that’s why in spite of every difficulty, we did not allow any major fertilizer crisis to hit the country. Friends, India imports urea from abroad and a 50 kg bag of urea costs Rs 3500. Mind it, a bag costs Rs 3500! But in the villages of the country, the same urea bag which is bought at Rs 3500 is given to the farmers for only Rs 300. That is, our government is bearing the burden of more than Rs 3200 for one bag of urea. Similarly, on a 50 kg bag of DAP, the previous governments had to bear Rs 500. Despite the spurt in the prices of DAP in the international market, our government has continuously attempted to minimize the burden on the farmers. Now our government is bearing 2500 rupees on a 50 kg bag of DAP. That is, within 12 months, the central government has taken 5 times the load of every bag of DAP. Last year, the central government gave a subsidy of Rs 1 lakh 60 thousand crore in fertilizers so that the farmers of India do not face any problem. This assistance to the farmers is going to be more than Rs 2 lakh crore this year. Friends, Whatever is necessary in the interest of the farmer of the country, we will do that and will continue to empower the country’s farmers. But we should think -can we leave our farmers at the mercy of foreign countries in the 21st century? Why should the lakhs of crores of rupees that the central government is spending every year go abroad? Shouldn’t this be of use to the farmers of India? Shouldn’t we be looking for a permanent solution to reduce the rising input cost of farmers due to expensive fertilizers? Friends, These are the questions that were before every government in the past. It is not that only I had to face all these issues alone. But earlier, only temporary and immediate solutions were provided. Limited efforts were made to prevent those situations from cropping up in the future. In the last 8 years, we have not only taken immediate measures but also found permanent solutions to the problems. Health infrastructure is being focused upon so that situations like corona pandemic do not arise in the future. In order to minimize the problem of edible oil, work is underway on Mission Oil Palm. To reduce foreign dependence on crude oil, efforts are being made on a large scale today on biofuels, green hydrogen and other measures. Massive investment in nanotechnology is also a result of this approach. Similarly, the campaign which is going on in the country to encourage farmers towards natural farming, is also a part of the permanent solution. And I especially congratulate the farmers of Gujarat. The farmer of Gujarat is progressive. Even if he is a small farmer, he has the courage. And I have this information that the small farmer of Gujarat has also started moving towards natural farming. Lakhs of farmers in Gujarat have started with natural farming. I heartily congratulate all the farmers and salute them for this initiative. Friends, ‘Cooperative’ is the solution to many of the challenges of India in terms of self-reliance. And it is a great model of self-reliance. We have experienced this with great success in Gujarat; and all of you, my friends, are part of this success. All the stalwarts associated with the cooperative sector of Gujarat are present here. I was observing everyone’s face. They are all my old friends who are carrying forward the development journey of Gujarat in the cooperative sector today. Such veterans are sitting in front of me! It is a great pleasure to see the efforts with which you are taking this work forward and carrying the co-operative spirit forward. Friends, Gujarat has also been fortunate because we got the leadership of Pujya Bapu and Sardar Saheb here. Sardar Saheb did the work of implementing the path of ‘self-reliance through cooperatives’ shown by revered Bapu. And as Amit bhai mentioned, when it comes to cooperatives, it is very natural to remember Venkatbhai Mehta. Even today the Government of India runs a huge institute after him. But that too was gradually forgotten. This time we have started the work of making it more powerful with a provision of Rs 25 crores in the budget. Moreover, here we have a society for housing, which is a cooperative society. It was the first experiment of the concept here. Pritam Nagar in Paldi is an example of that. It is a living example of the country’s first cooperative housing scheme. Friends, Amul has made a mark in the cooperative sector. A brand like Amul has introduced the power of cooperative movement of Gujarat to the whole world and has created an identity. Gujarat has the success stories of cooperative movement in the dairy, sugar and banking sectors. In the last few years, the scope of cooperatives has increased in other sectors including fruits and vegetables. Brothers and Sisters, Among the successful experiments of cooperatives, a big model is in front of us to strengthen the rural economy of the country. The example of the cooperative model of the dairy sector is before us. Today India is the largest milk producer in the world in which Gujarat has a major share. In the past years, the dairy sector has been growing rapidly and is also contributing more to the rural economy. Today India produces milk worth about 8 lakh crore rupees in a year. And this business is handled mostly by our mothers and sisters. While on the other hand, the combined market of wheat and paddy is less than milk production. That is, if milk is worth 8 lakh crores, the total production of wheat and paddy is less than that. You see, the power our country has created in milk production. Similarly, if we look at the entire sector of animal husbandry, it is worth more than Rs 9.5 lakh crore. This is a great support for the small farmers and landless labourers of India. Friends, The reason why the villages in Gujarat have seen more prosperity in the last decades is due to the cooperatives associated with the dairy sector. And you will be surprised to know this… If we remind you of something, some may feel that we are criticizing someone. But we are not criticizing. Sometimes a few things need to be reminded to understand the things that used to happen earlier. Provisions were made to halt dairy production in Kutch, Saurashtra of Gujarat. That is, in a way it was put under illegal activities. When I was here, we tried to reason that if Amul is growing, then the dairy industry of Kutch and Amreli too can grow. Why should we restrict it? And today in Gujarat the dairy sector has stood with great strength in all four directions. In Gujarat also, milk based industries were widely spread because the restrictions on the part of the government were minimal in this. The government tried to escape as much as it could and gave full freedom to the cooperative sectors to flourish. The government plays the role of just a facilitator here, the rest of the work is being done either by all our colleagues dedicated to our cooperative sector like you, or by our farmer brothers and sisters. Both the milk producer and the private and cooperative sectors engaged in the business of milk are interlinked and have created an excellent supply and value chain. Friends, The biggest thing is that most of us in the dairy sector are small farmers, and like I said before, our mothers and sisters handle this work. Around 70 lakh sisters and 50 lakh families in Gujarat are a part of this movement today. Today our mothers and sisters are running more than 5500 milk cooperative societies in Gujarat. Our sisters from Gujarat have also played a crucial role in building an international brand like Amul. In a way, cooperatives have given new dimensions to women entrepreneurship in Gujarat. We all have heard of Lijjat Papad. It was started by the poor mothers and sisters of the tribal area. Now it has become a multinational brand. Just like the Indians, Lijjat Papad too has reached every part of the world. And I feel so proud that Lijjat Papad has been expanding over the years. It has grown so much, yet it did not get its due recognition. Last time we gave the Padma Shri award to one of the founders of Lijjat Papad. Now her age is above 90. She is originally a Gujarati, but lives in Mumbai. But that elderly lady came and showered her blessings. That is, just like the spirit of our cooperative and the skills of our mothers and sisters have become a brand of Amul, similarly Lijjat has also turned into a brand. We can clearly see the management skills of our sisters and daughters in the cooperatives. Friends, We are following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’. This mantra itself is the soul of the cooperative. This mantra is within the boundaries of the cooperative. Therefore, we are continuously moving forward to link the spirit of co-operatives with the spirit of the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’. With this objective, a separate Ministry for cooperatives was formed at the centre. And the effort is to encourage cooperative based economic models in the country. For this, several new steps are being taken one after the other. We are trying to make cooperative societies, institutions competitive in the market, by providing them a level playing field with other market players. In the last few years, we have provided assistance to the cooperative societies by reducing the taxes. Amit bhai has mentioned it in a few words but we have taken several initiatives. He talked about the surcharge. Earlier there were issues regarding this. While making reforms, we have given the cooperatives equal status to that of the Farmer Producer Organizations. This will go a long way in helping the cooperatives to grow. Friends Moreover, a huge initiative is also underway to connect cooperative societies, cooperative banks with modern digital technology. A commendable work is going to start in this direction in Gujarat. Also, when I was the Chief Minister, income tax was imposed on the cooperative sector as mentioned by Amit Bhai. So, I used to write letters to the central Government, and the people handling this department in the centre too were associated with the cooperative movement. But they did not pay any heed to Gujarat or to the people of the cooperative sector around the country. But we went and solved that problem too. Friends, I am told that the District Co-operative Banks have issued Rupay Kisan cards to about 8 lakh farmers. Like other banks, the facilities of online banking are also available to the farmers today. Like Amit bhai mentioned, when all of the country’s 63,000 Primary Agricultural Credit Society (PACS) will be computerized, the entire image of our cooperatives will transform completely. This will greatly benefit our farmers as most of the members of these societies are farmers. There is one more piece of good news. I came to know that now several people from the cooperative sector are using the GeM portal of the Government of India for buying. This has brought transparency; the process has speeded up and the need is being fulfilled in less cost. The people of the cooperative sector have accepted the government’s GeM portal. Therefore, I sincerely thank the people of the cooperative sector. Friends, The biggest strength of a co-operative is trust, cooperation and the ability to increase the capacity of the organization with the help of everyone. This is the guarantee of India’s success in the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’. We are working on empowering those who were considered small and were underestimated in the AmritKaal’. Small farmers are being empowered in every way today. Similarly, small scale industries – MSMEs are being made a strong part of India’s self-reliant supply chain. A digital technology platform, ONDC- Open Network for Digital Commerce, is also being made available to our small shopkeepers and traders. This will encourage healthy competition in the digital space, giving equal opportunity to the small traders of the country. This will strengthen the potential of India’s e-commerce market, which will definitely benefit the small traders of Gujarat. Friends, Gujarat has been a state associated with the tradition of trade and business. The test for a good businessman is how well he handles the business even in difficult situations. The government faces a similar test as to how it can find new ways to find solutions even in the midst of challenges. All these provisions and all the reforms we are witnessing from the past few years are our attempt to turn a crisis into an opportunity. I am sure that our spirit of co-operation will help us in fulfilling our resolutions. And just now Bhupendra Bhai has mentioned really good lines in his speech that non-cooperation was a weapon for gaining independence before. ‘Cooperative’ is a weapon to achieve prosperity after independence. This journey from non-cooperation to cooperatives is our path to attain the heights of prosperity and to fulfil the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. Let us walk on this path with confidence. We should also connect the people of the country with this auspicious work. The expansion of the cooperative movement of Gujarat in more areas of India will work for the betterment of the people of that region. I am very grateful to the Gujarat government that today I got the opportunity to meet the stalwarts of the cooperative sector because when I was in Gujarat, they always used to come with their grievances. But today they came with their report cards. “So we have reached here in such a short time; we have taken our society to this position; we have brought our organization here. Earlier our turn-over was this much, now our turn-over has become this much”. When the people of small societies meet, with great pride they say – “we all work on computers, sir; we have started going online here”. The change that is seen in the cooperative sector of Gujarat is something to be proud of. Today I bow to your hard work, salute this great tradition. And as we are celebrating 75 years of independence, the seeds which were sown earlier have turned into a banyan tree today in the creative dominance of the public life of Gujarat and is growing in the form of economy as well as cooperative dominance. With this delight and joy, I would like to end my speech by thanking you from the bottom of my heart and saluting everyone.

The Prime Minister expressed confidence that the building will be completed well within the stipulated time. He emphasized that this would be in keeping with the spirit of New India, and moving away from old practices, under which important building projects, even in the Capital, had been inordinately delayed. In this context, he mentioned the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, the Dr. Ambedkar National Memorial, the Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra and the new office building for the Central Information Commission. He said that this is also the result of breaking silos within the working of the Government. He hoped that the new office building – Vanijya Bhawan – would further facilitate elimination of silos in India’s commerce sector. Speaking about the country’s demographic dividend, the Prime Minister said that it is our collective responsibility to fulfil the aspirations of our youth. Talking of adoption of digital technology, the Prime Minister remarked that the land on which the new building is being constructed, was earlier occupied by the Directorate General of Supplies and Disposal. This has now been replaced by the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), which has seen transactions worth Rs. 8700 crore in a short time, he added. He urged the Department of Commerce to work towards further expansion of GeM, and leverage it for the benefit of the country’s MSME sector. He also spoke of the benefits of GST, and said the Union Government is making constant efforts to create a people-friendly, development-friendly and investment-friendly environment. The Prime Minister mentioned various macro-economic parameters, and other indicators to explain how the India is now playing an important role in the global economy. He said India is now among the top five fin-tech countries, globally. He said subjects such as “Ease of Trading,” and “Ease of Doing Business,” are all related to “Ease of Living” in an interconnected world. The Prime Minister emphasized the need for an increase in exports, and said that States must be made active partners in this effort. He said the Department of Commerce must resolve to raise India’s share in total global exports to at least 3.4 percent, from the current 1.6 percent. Similarly he said, efforts must be made to raise domestic manufacturing output, to reduce imports. In this context, he gave the example of electronics manufacturing. He said the Union Government has taken a number of steps to boost domestic manufacturing.",বাণিজ্য ভৱনৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-petrotech-2019-says-energy-is-a-key-driver-of-socio-economic-growth/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%95-3/,"Responsible pricing with transparent and flexible markets required for oil and gas:PM India’s contribution in the onset of an era based on energy justice significant:PM Blue Flame Revolution’ is under-way. LPG coverage more than 90% percent, says PM The 13th edition of PETROTECH – 2019, India’s flagship hydrocarbon Conference was inaugurated by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi at India Expo Centre, Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh today. In his inaugural address PM underlined the importance of energy as a key driver of socio-economic growth. “Suitably priced, stable and sustainable energy supply, is essential for rapid growth of the economy. It also helps the poor and deprived sections of society, to partake of economic benefits,” he added. Stating that the there is a shift in energy consumption from West to East, PM said that United States has become the world’s largest oil and gas producer after the shale revolution. However there are signs of convergence, between cheaper renewable energy, technologies, and digital applications which may expedite the achievement of many sustainable development goals.. PM told that it is the need of the hour “ …move to responsible pricing, which balances the interests of both the producer and consumer. We also need to move towards transparent and flexible markets for both oil and gas. Only then can we serve the energy needs of humanity in an optimal manner.” Reminding the global community to join hands in tackling the challenge of climate change, he said targets we set for ourselves at COP-21 in Paris can be achieved. In this context, he mentioned that India has made rapid strides in meeting its commitments.. PM congratulated His Excellency Dr. Sultan Al Jaber for his contribution to the energy sector and vision for the future. He said that Industry 4.0 will change the way industry operates, with new technology and processes. Our companies are adopting latest technologies to improve efficiency, increase safety and reduce costs, he added. PM emphasized that people must have universal access to clean, affordable, sustainable and equitable supply of energy as he lamented that although,” we are entering an era of greater energy availability. But more than a billion people across the globe still do not have access to electricity. Many more do not have access to clean cooking fuel”. He added that India has taken a lead in addressing these issues of energy access.. He said that currently, India is the fastest growing large economy in the world and could be the second largest economy in the world by 2030 and also the third largest energy consumer in the world. With energy demand expected to more than double by 2040 and India remains attractive market for energy companies, he added. PM recalled the last PETROTECH Conference in December 2016, where he mentioned about four pillars for India’s energy future – energy access, energy efficiency, energy sustainability and energy security. Energy justice is also a key objective and now a top priority for India. He said, “Towards this end, we have developed and implemented many policies. The results of these efforts are now evident. Electricity has reached all our rural areas”, he added. PM emphasized that energy justice can be done only when people believe in their collective power. Declaring that a ‘Blue Flame Revolution’ is under-way. LPG coverage has reached more than 90% percent, from 55% five years ago. “, PM said last five years have seen major reforms in India’s oil and gas sector. “ India today has the fourth largest refining capacity in the world. This will further grow by about 200 million metric tons by 2030.”, he added. He noted that India is making rapid strides towards a gas based economy. Over sixteen thousand kilometres of gas pipeline has been constructed and an additional eleven thousand kilometers is under construction. The tenth bid round for City Gas Distribution cover over four hundred districts and extend coverage of City Gas Distribution to seventy percent of our population”,he added. Leading lights from the oil and gas sector are attending PETROTECH 2019. Over the last quarter century, PETROTECH has served as a platform to discuss solutions to challenges faced in the energy sector.. PETROTECH provides the perfect setting to ponder over the future of the energy sector and provides the platform to reflect upon how global shifts, transitions, policies and new technologies will influence market stability and future investments in the sector.","প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে মুকলি কৰিলে পেট্ৰ’টেক ২০১৯, ক’লে – আৰ্থসামাজিক বিকাশৰ মূল চালিকা শক্তিয়েই হৈছে শক্তি খণ্ড" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/modis-message-on-the-occasion-of-14th-foundation-day-celebrations-of-umiya-mata-temple-in-junagadh-gujarat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BE/,"Umiya Mata ki Jai! The popular, gentle and determined Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, my colleague in the Union Cabinet, Parshottam Rupala, all the ministers of the state government, my colleagues in the Parliament, all other MLAs, all the elected representatives of the panchayats and municipalities, Umadham Gathila President Valjibhai Faldu, other office bearers and all the dignitaries from far and wide of the society and mothers and sisters present in large numbers – whom I pay special tribute today on the occasion of the 14th foundation day of Maa Umiya. Many wishes and greetings to all of you on this auspicious occasion! I had the privilege of laying the foundation stone of Mata Umiya Dham Temple and Umiya Dham Campus in December last year. And today I am glad that you have invited me to this grand event at Gathila. I would have been happier had I been physically present. Yet, it is a happy occasion for me that I can meet senior dignitaries from afar. Today is the ninth day of Chaitra Navratri. I wish Maa Siddhidatri fulfills all your wishes. Our Girnar is the land of chanting and penance. Mother Amba resides in Girnar Dham. Therefore, Girnar Dham is also the land of knowledge and initiation. I bow to the holy land where Lord Dattatreya is seated. It is by the grace of Maa that all of us have always remained concerned about Gujarat, have been striving for the development of Gujarat and have always been contributing something or the other for the development of Gujarat. I have always felt the power of this collectivity. Today, the ‘Pragatya Mahotsav’ of Lord Ramchandra ji is being celebrated with great grandeur in Ayodhya and across the country. It is also very important for us. It is not something new for me to come among you and bow at the feet of Mata Umiya for the last 35 years. Someone just told me that I had the privilege to come here and dedicate the temple in 2008. This holy abode has always been the center of reverence, but it has also become a center of social consciousness and tourism. Today there are more than 60 rooms, several marriage halls and a grand restaurant. By the grace of Maa Umiya, all of you have made conscious efforts to fulfill all the needs of the devotees of Maa Umiya and society. And I congratulate all the trustees, caretakers and the devotees of Maa Umiya for its expansion in the short span of 14 years. Our Chief Minister made a very emotional observation. He said that this earth is our mother, and if I am a devotee of Umiya Mata, then I have no reason to hurt the Mother Earth. Will we give medicine or transfuse blood to our mother at home without any reason? We know we need to give mother as much as she wants. But we have assumed for Mother Earth that she wants this or that. Will the Mother not be detached with us? As a result, we can see so many problems. To save Mother Earth is a massive campaign. We were living life in the water crisis in the past. Drought was our perennial concern. But we have made a lot of efforts for water conservation since we started campaigns of building check dams, water harvesting, Per Drop More Crop, Drip Irrigation and implemented the SAUNI scheme. When I was Chief Minister of Gujarat, I would tell chief ministers of other states regarding the efforts and money spent for ensuring water in my state. Most of our government’s time was spent in providing water. So other states were surprised, because they were not aware of this problem. We slowly came out of that problem, because we started a mass movement with the cooperation of all of you. And that mass movement was for the welfare of the people. Today there is awareness of water. But still I believe that we should not remain indifferent to water harvesting, because it needs to be done before the arrival of rains. Ponds need to be dug deeper and drains have to be cleaned. If we do all these things, only then will water accumulate and seep into the earth. Similarly, now we will have to think about how to get rid of chemicals. Otherwise, one day Mother Earth will say it is enough now and I do not want to serve you. No matter how much you sweat, or how many expensive seeds you sow, there will be no yield. Mother Earth has to be saved. We are lucky that we have got such a Governor in Gujarat who is completely dedicated to natural farming. I have been informed that he went to every taluka of Gujarat and organized many farmers’ conferences for natural farming. I am happy and Rupala ji was telling us that lakhs of farmers have moved towards natural farming and they are feeling proud. It is also true that natural farming cuts down the cost. Now that the soft spoken and determined Chief Minister has given a call, it is the responsibility of all of us to make his sentiments come true. Farmers across the villages of Gujarat should come forward for natural farming. The way Keshubhai and I worked hard for water, similarly Bhupendrabhai is working hard for Mother Earth. All the people of Gujarat should join in his efforts to save Mother Earth. And I have seen that you never hold back in whatever work you undertake. I remember I was very worried about ‘Beti Bachao’ (Save the girl child) in Unjha. The number of daughters was on the decline in the temple town of Maa Umiya. Then I bowed at the feet of Maa Umiya and sought a promise from the people of society to save daughters. And I am proud that the devotees of Maa Umiya and Maa Khodaldham and the entire Gujarat took a pledge. As a result, there was a lot of awareness regarding feticide and saving the daughters. Today you are witness to the achievements of daughters of Gujarat. Our Divyang daughter from Mehsana went to the Olympics and held the Indian flag high. There were six daughters from Gujarat among the players who went to the Olympics this time. Who wouldn’t be proud of it? Therefore, I think the true devotion toward Maa Umiya results in this power and we should move forward with this power. The more we put emphasis on natural farming, the more we help Bhupendrabhai, our Mother Earth will flourish. Gujarat will bloom. It has progressed, but will bloom further. Another issue that comes to my mind is malnourishment. It is not good that our children in Gujarat remain malnourished. The mother tells her son to eat, but he does not eat. There is no poverty, but the eating habits are such that the body is not nourished. If a daughter has anemia and gets married at the age of 20-22-24 years, how will the child grow in her womb. If the mother is not strong, what will happen to the child? Therefore, we should be concerned about the health of all children and daughters in particular. I believe that all the devotees of Maa Umiya should visit villages and ensure that no child from any society should remain malnourished. If the child is strong, the family will be strong and if society is strong then the country will also be strong. You are celebrating ‘Patotsav’ and also organizing blood donation programs etc today. Now you do one thing. Organize a healthy child competition across villages through the Maa Umiya Trust. There should be competition among all the children aged 2-4 years and the healthy child should be rewarded. The whole atmosphere will change. It’s a small task, but we can do it well. I am told that many marriage halls have been built here. Marriages do not take place throughout the year. What is the use of that place (when there are no marriages)? We can run coaching classes for poor children and people of the society can come forward to teach them for an hour or two hours. There would be better utilization of the place. Similarly, this can be used as a center of yoga. One can visit Maa Umiya in the morning and there can be yoga sessions for about 1-2 hours. If the place is utilized properly, only then it will become the center of social consciousness in the true sense. We should make efforts in this regard. This is the period of Amrit Mahotsav of freedom. In a way, it is a very important period for us. Every citizen should have this dream and resolve where would be we, our villages, our society and our country when we would be celebrating the hundred years of independence in 2047. We can bring such consciousness through the Amrit Mahtosav whereby good works can take place in society now to the satisfaction of our new generation. It has occurred to me that on the occasion of 75 years of independence, we can build 75 Amrit Sarovar (ponds) in every district. Old ponds can be made bigger, deeper and better. Seventy-five ponds in every district! Imagine when the centenary of independence would be celebrated after 25 years then that generation will see that the people of the villages had built these ponds on the 75th anniversary of the country’s independence. The power of the village gets enhanced with ponds. A ‘Patidar’ (landlord) becomes ‘Panidar’ (water donor) when there is water. Therefore, we can take up the campaign of building 75 ponds in every district under the guidance of Maa Umiya. And it is not a big issue. We are such people that we have built lakhs of check dams. You imagine how great a service it would be. It should be completed before 15th August 2023. It will be inspiring for society. I believe a senior member of the village should be called to hoist the flag near the pond on every 15th August. Rather than calling the politicians, call the senior member of the village and organize the program of flag hoisting. Today is the birth anniversary of Lord Ramchandra ji. When we remember Lord Ramchandra ji, we are reminded of Shabari, Kewat, Nishad etc. It means that the one, who takes care of the backward community of the society, gets a place of respect in the mind of the people in future. Devotees of Maa Umiya should consider the backward people of the society, the depressed and poor of any society as their own. Rama became Lord Rama and Purushottam and was glorified because he worked and lived among the poor people of society. While ensuring their own progress, the devotees of Maa Umiya should also worry that no one is left behind. Only then our progress will be genuine otherwise, the one who is left behind will pull back the one who is making progress. Then we will have to work harder. Therefore, along with moving forward, if we keep uplifting those behind us then all of us will move forward. There is ‘Pragatya Mahotsav’ of Lord Ram and ‘Patotsav’ of Maa Umiya and such a huge number of people have gathered. Therefore, I urge you that we faced the huge crisis of Corona and its danger is not over. It is still appearing somewhere. This is very deceptive. Therefore, we don’t have to lower our guard. People across the world are astonished that India administered 185 crore doses of vaccines to its people to tackle Corona. It became possible due to the cooperation of society. Therefore, it is necessary to create awareness on a large scale. Similarly, it is about cleanliness and the campaign against single-use plastic. Why should these campaigns not become our nature? We worship cows, are devotees of Maa Umiya and have respect for the animals. As a devotee of Maa Umiya, it is not befitting if cows eat plastic. It is necessary that we move forward keeping these things in mind. I am happy that you have taken up several social works. Along with the religious fervor, you have organized the blood donation programs etc by taking the entire young generation along with you. My best wishes to all of you. It is a matter of great pleasure for me to have the opportunity to be amongst you, even from afar. Many greetings to all of you! I bow at the feet of Maa Umiya! Thank you!",গুজৰাটৰ জুনাগড়ত উমিয়া মাতা মন্দিৰৰ চতুৰ্দশ প্ৰতিষ্ঠা দিৱস উদযাপন উপলক্ষে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী মোডীৰ বাৰ্তাৰ অসমীয়া ৰূপান্তৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-national-labour-conference-of-labour-ministers-of-all-states-and-uts-via-video-conferencing/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF/,"Namaskar! Chandigarh Administrator Shri Banwari Lal Purohit ji, my colleagues in the Union Cabinet, Shri Bhupender Yadav ji and Shri Rameswar Teli ji, respected labour ministers of all states, labour secretaries, other dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen! First of all, I would like to bow at the feet of Lord Tirupati Balaji. The holy place where all of you are present has been a witness to India’s labour and potential. I am sure that the ideas emanating from this conference will strengthen the labour force of the country. I congratulate all of you, and especially the Ministry of Labour, for organizing this event. Friends, The country completed 75 years of its independence on August 15 and entered the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence. India’s labour force has a huge role to play in realizing our dreams and aspirations to build a developed India in the ‘Amrit Kaal’. With this thinking, the country is continuously working for crores of workers in the organized and unorganized sector. Various initiatives like Pradhan Mantri Shram-Yogi Maandhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana have given a kind of security cover to the workers. Due to such schemes, there is a belief among the workers of the unorganized sector that the country respects their hard work equally. We have to align all such initiatives of the Center and the states with utmost sensitivity, so that the workers can get maximum benefit from them. Friends, We have become a witness to the impact of these efforts of the country on our economy, even during the Corona period. The ‘Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme’ has helped lakhs of small industries. According to a study, this scheme saved the jobs of about 1.5 crore people. EPFO also helped employees a lot during the Corona period as thousands of crores of rupees were given to them in advance. And friends, today we are seeing that just as the country supported its workers in their time of need, in the same way, the workers put their entire might in recovering from this pandemic. Today India has again become the fastest growing economy in the world and a lot of credit goes to our workers. Friends, The ‘e-Shram portal’ is an example of how the work is being done to bring every worker of the country under the purview of social security. This portal was launched last year to create a national database linked to Aadhaar for workers in the unorganized sector. I am happy that in just one year, about 28 crore workers spanning 400 sectors have registered themselves with this portal. This has especially benefited construction workers, migrant labourers and domestic workers. Now these people are also getting the benefit of facilities like Universal Account Number. The ‘e-Shram Portal’ is also being linked with the National Career Service, Aseem Portal and Udyam Portal to increase employment opportunities for workers. I request all those present in this conference to integrate state portals with national portals. This will open new opportunities for all the workers of the country and all the states will get effective benefits of the country’s labour force. Friends, As you are aware that there have been so many labour laws in our country which existed since British rule. In the last eight years, we have taken the initiative to abolish the laws from the period of slavery that reflect the slave mentality. The country is now changing, reforming and simplifying such labour laws. Keeping this in mind, 29 labour laws have been converted into four simple labour codes. With this, our labour brothers and sisters will be further empowered on issues like minimum wages, job security, social security and health security. The definition of Inter-State Migrant Labour has also been simplified in the new labour codes. Our migrant labour brothers and sisters have also been helped a lot by the ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’ scheme. Friends, We have to remember one more thing. The world is changing rapidly. If we do not prepare ourselves fast, then there will be a danger of falling behind. India was left behind in taking advantage of the first, second and third industrial revolutions. Now India will also have to take quick decisions and implement them fast during the Fourth Industrial Revolution. You can see the nature of job is changing with the changing times. Today the world is entering the digital era and the entire global environment is changing rapidly. Today we are witnessing a new dimension of employment in the form of gig and platform economy. Be it online shopping, online health services, online taxi and food delivery, it has become a part of urban life today. Millions of youths are driving these services and this new market. Our right policies and efforts for these new possibilities will help in making India a global leader in this field. Friends, The country’s labour ministry is also preparing its vision for 2047 in ‘Amrit Kaal’. The future needs flexible workplaces, a work-from-home ecosystem and flexible work hours. We can use systems like flexible workplaces as opportunities for women’s labour force participation. I called for the full participation of the nation’s women power on 15th August this year from the ramparts of the Red Fort. India can achieve its goals faster by making the right use of women power. We also have to think in the direction of what can be done for women in the newly emerging sectors in the country. Friends, India’s success in the 21st century will also depend on how well we use our demographic dividend. We can take advantage of global opportunities by creating a high quality skilled workforce. India is also signing migration and mobility partnership agreements with many countries of the world. We have to step up our efforts and learn from each other so that all the states of the country can take advantage of these opportunities. Friends, Today, I want to make a request to all the states and also to all of you when all of us have come together on such an important occasion. You are aware that our building and construction workers are an integral part of our workforce. It is necessary to make full use of the ‘cess’ that has been created for them. I have been told that about Rs 38,000 crore of this cess has still not been utilized by the states. We also have to pay attention to how ESIC, along with the Ayushman Bharat scheme, can benefit more and more workers. I am sure that our collective efforts will play an important role in bringing forth the true potential of the country. With this belief, many thanks to all of you! I am sure that you will be able to optimize the potential of the country’s labour force with new resolutions and confidence in the two-day conference.

Now monsoon is fast approaching in Delhi too. Yet the temperature outside is not dropping and I am not sure if the heat inside the House will also subside or not. This period is extremely significant as we are celebrating ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. August 15 holds special significance; and after 25 years when the country celebrates the centenary of Indian Independence, we should plan on how our journey of 25 years should be like; how fast can we stride ahead and how can we reach newer heights? This period is about making such resolutions and giving a direction to the nation by being devoted to those resolutions. The House should lead the country. All the honourable members of the House should become instrumental in instilling new energy into the nation. Therefore, this session is also very important from that point of view. This session is also crucial because elections to the posts of President and the Vice President are being held at the same time. Voting is also underway today. And in this period, the tenure of the new President and the new Vice-President will also begin. We always consider the House as an efficient medium of communication, a pilgrimage centre where a dialogue and discussion can take place with an open mind. Debates, criticism and a detailed analysis of things also take place to make a very positive contribution to policies and decisions. I would urge all the respected MPs to make the House as much productive and fruitful as possible with deep thinking and a deep and detailed discussion. That’s why everyone should co-operate and democracy thrives only through everyone’s efforts. The House runs because of everyone’s efforts. It is with the efforts of everyone that the House takes the best decision. And therefore, while fulfilling our duties to enhance the dignity of the House, we should make the most use of this session in the national interest. And we should always remember that we need to fulfil the dreams of those who had dedicated their youth and their entire lives for freedom, and had spent their lives in jails and the sacrifices they had made. I just hope that keeping their dreams in mind, as 15th August is approaching, we should ensure that the House is used most positively in the best possible way.

They strongly condemned all forms of terrorism including use of terrorist proxies and cross-border terrorism. They reiterated their resolve to closely work together in the common fight against global terrorism including through combating the financing of terrorism, countering radicalization and violent extremism, preventing misuse of the internet for terrorist or violent extremist purpose, acting against internationally designated entities and individuals. Both sides expressed their willingness to coordinate actively in the run up to the third edition of the “No Money for Terror” international Conference to be hosted by India in 2022. Climate, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development 19. Seven years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement and the joint launch of the International Solar Alliance, India and France’s commitment to tackle climate change is stronger than ever, both on mitigation and adaptation. As renewable energy development is one of the key solutions for this transition, India and France reiterate their continued support to the objectives of the International Solar Alliance. India and France also agreed to explore opportunities to jointly work on just energy transition pathways including under G7 to accelerate the deployment of renewables and access to affordable and sustainable energy. Going a step forward in this commitment to clean energy, India invited France to participate in its initiative to make India a Green Hydrogen Hub under its National Hydrogen Mission. Both sides are eager to foster cooperation on decarbonized hydrogen, including on aspects related to regulation, certification and standardization of such hydrogen in order to build robust industrial partnerships and agreed to soon finalise a roadmap to take forward this cooperation. Both sides will work together to set up industrial partnerships to reinforce their own solar energy production capacities in order to supply Asian and European markets, with an integrated supply chain. 20. India and France welcomed the efforts made by AFD and India Exim Bank to step up their support to sustainable finance in the Indo-Pacific region and agreed to intensify their cooperation in this area. The “Indo-Pacific Parks Partnership” adopted in February this year, displays both sides’ common ambition to promote a sustainable approach in the Indo-Pacific region through the development of protected areas and natural parks. 21. India and France’s common ambition to fight against plastic pollution has been key to UNEA’s recent progress and decision to launch negotiations on a legally-binding international agreement on plastic pollution addressing the full life-cycle of plastics. India and France will continue to jointly promote the adoption of a strong and ambitious legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution, while respecting the principle of national circumstances and capability in taking actions to address plastic pollution. Both sides also called for immediate collective voluntary actions by countries to tackle plastic pollution on an urgent and continual basis. 22. India and France welcomed France’s commitment to India’s sustainable urban development, biodiversity, energy transition and other climate related projects through the AFD group and other agencies. 23. India and France expressed satisfaction at the adoption of the bilateral roadmap on Blue Economy and Ocean Governance and committed to accelerating its implementation. 24. India and France will jointly support progress of the Intergovernmental Conference on an international legally binding instrument under the UNCLOS on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ), a key step to ensure protection of the high seas. 25. Both sides agreed to maintain a strong coordination in the framework of the G20. France reiterated its steadfast support for India’s bid for a permanent membership of the UN Security Council as well as membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group. 26. India and France are fully committed to pursuing the implementation of the Partnership Agreement on Migration and Mobility, which entered into force on 1 October 2021. 27. Both sides will continue to work jointly to increase the mobility of students, graduates, professionals and skilled workers while strengthening their efforts to combat irregular migration. Recognizing the benefit of bilateral student mobility, France maintains the objective of 20000 Indian students by 2025 which will create opportunities for new businesses, start-ups and innovation between the two countries. 28. The mutual interest in arts and culture has significantly grown, and artists from our two countries are more and more eager to collaborate around projects such as festivals and residences. The 75th anniversary of the independence of India is being celebrated since March 2022 through the Bonjour India festival, with a series of events throughout India. For its part, India is organising the Namaste France festival. India was the Guest of Honour at the Paris Book Festival 2022 and France will be the Guest of Honour at the next New Delhi World Book Fair. 29. Following the letter of intent on museum and heritage cooperation signed on 28 January 2020, India and France will explore the possibilities and mechanism for France to be a “knowledge partner” in the creation of a new National Museum in Delhi. 30.

Shri Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated across the country. Many congratulations to all the countrymen and the devotees of Lord Shri Krishna spread all over the world. Jai Shri Krishna! This event is being held in Goa. But today I want to share three big achievements of the country with all the citizens. And I want to say this for the entire country. When my countrymen learn about these achievements of India, I am sure they will be very proud, especially our mothers and sisters. Today we have crossed three important milestones related to the huge goals that India is working on in the ‘Amrit Kaal’. The first milestone is that today 10 crore rural households of the country have been connected with piped clean water facility. This is a huge success of the government’s campaign to supply water to the households. This is also a great example of ‘Sabka Prayas’ (everyone’s effort). I congratulate every countryman and especially mothers and sisters for this achievement. Friends, The country and especially Goa has achieved a milestone today. Today Goa has become the first Har Ghar Jal certified state in the country where every household is connected to piped water. Dadra Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu have also become Har Ghar Jal certified Union Territories. In the last few years, Goa has been playing a leading role in every major mission of the country. I convey my best wishes to the people of Goa, Pramod ji and his team, the Government of Goa and the local self-government institutions in this regard. The way you have taken forward the Har Ghar Jal Mission, it is going to inspire the whole country. I am happy that many more states are going to be added to this list in the coming months. Friends, The third achievement of the country is related to Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. A few years ago, the country was declared open defecation free with the efforts of all the countrymen. After this we had resolved to make villages ODF plus. That is, facilities such as community toilets, plastic waste management, gray water management, GobarDhan projects, will be developed. The country has also achieved important milestones in this regard. Now more than one lakh villages of different states of the country have become ODF plus. Many congratulations to all the states and villages for crossing these three important milestones. Friends, Today, major organizations of the world are saying that one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century will be water security. Lack of water can also become a big obstacle in the fulfillment of the resolve of a developed India. Common human beings, poor, middle class, farmers and industries, everyone suffers without water. To deal with this big challenge, there is a need to work round the clock with a sense of service and duty. Our government has been engaged in completing the works of water security with this spirit for the last eight years. It is true that one does not have to work hard to form a government, but to build a country one has to work hard. And it happens with everyone’s effort. We all have chosen the path of developing the country, and therefore, we are constantly solving the present and future challenges of the country. Those who do not care about the country, it does not matter whether the present or future of the country is ruined. Such people can definitely make tall promises for water, but can never work with a grand vision for water. Friends, During the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence, water security has been given special emphasis in the last eight years so that it does not become a challenge to India’s progress. Be it Catch the Rain, Atal Bhujal Yojana, construction of 75 Amrit Sarovars in every district of the country, interlinking of rivers, or Jal Jeevan Mission, the goal of all these schemes is ensuring water security for the people of the country. A few days ago, news came out that now the number of Ramsar sites i.e. wetlands in India has also increased to 75. Out of these, 50 sites have been added in the last eight years only. That is, India is making all-round efforts for water security and it is getting results in every direction. Friends, The same commitment towards water and environment is also reflected in the milestone of the Jal Jeevan Mission under which 10 crore people have been provided with piped water. There couldn’t have been a better start than this for ‘Amrit Kaal’. Within just three years, seven crore rural households have been connected with piped water facilities under the Jal Jeevan Mission. This is no ordinary achievement. Only three crore rural households in the country had access to piped water in the last seven decades of independence. There were about 16 crore rural households in the country, who had to depend on outside sources for water. We could not leave such a large population of the villages struggling for this basic need. That’s why I had announced three years ago from the Red Fort that every house would be provided with piped water. After the formation of the new government, we made Jal Shakti, a separate ministry. About 3.60 lakh crore rupees are being spent on this campaign. Despite the problems caused by the biggest pandemic in 100 years, the pace of this campaign did not slow down. The result of this continuous effort is that the country has done more than double the work in the last three years compared to seven decades. This is an example of the same people-centric development, which I mentioned this time from the Red Fort. When water reaches every house, our sisters and future generations benefit the most and our fight against malnutrition gets stronger. Our mothers and sisters suffer the most due to every water related problem, and therefore, our sisters and daughters are also at the center of this mission. The time of sisters is now being saved in the houses where pure drinking water has reached. The diseases caused by contaminated water to the children of the families have also reduced. Friends, Jal Jeevan Mission is also a good example of true democracy, the Gram Swaraj, dreamed by revered Bapu. I remember mothers and sisters in Kutch district were entrusted with the responsibility of water development works when I was in Gujarat. This experiment was so successful that it also got the award at the international level. Today the same experiment is also an important inspiration of Jal Jeevan Mission. Jal Jeevan Mission is not just a government scheme, but it is a scheme run by the community for the community. Friends, The reason for the success of Jal Jeevan Mission is its four strong pillars. First – People’s Participation; Second – Partnership i.e., partnership of every stakeholder; Third – Political Will; and Fourth- Optimum Utilization of Resources. Brothers and sisters, The way Panchayats, Gram Sabhas, local people of the villages have been included in the Jal Jeevan Mission and entrusted with many responsibilities, it is unprecedented in itself. The cooperation of the people of the villages is sought while supplying piped water to every house. Villagers themselves are preparing Village Action Plans for water security in their villages. The price of water is also being decided by the people of the villages. The people of the villages are also involved in the testing of water. More than 10 lakh women have been trained for this. At least 50 percent women have been included in the water committees. Priority is being given to the tribal areas where work should be done rapidly. The second pillar of the Jal Jeevan Mission is partnership. Everybody, be it state governments, panchayats, voluntary organizations, educational institutions, various departments and ministries of the government, are all working together. It is getting huge benefits at the grassroots level. Friends, Political will is the third main pillar of the success of the Jal Jeevan Mission. What could be achieved in the last seven 70 years, we have to complete many times more than that in less than seven years. It is a difficult goal, but there is no such goal which the people of India cannot achieve once they are determined. The Central Government, State Governments and Panchayats are engaged in completing this campaign expeditiously. Jal Jeevan Mission is laying equal emphasis on the Optimum Utilization of Resources. Help is also being sought from schemes like MNREGA, which give impetus to the Jal Jeevan Mission. The work being done under this mission is also creating new employment opportunities in the villages on a large scale. One benefit of this mission will also be that when every house will get piped water, there will be saturation and the scope of favoritism and discrimination will also end. Friends, During this campaign, new sources of water, tanks, water treatment plants and pump houses are also being geo-tagged. The use of modern technology i.e. Internet of things solutions, has also started for monitoring the water supply and quality. That is, the power of manpower, women power and technology together are empowering the Jal Jeevan Mission. I have full faith that the way the whole country is working hard we will definitely achieve the goal of water for every household. Once again, I congratulate Goa, the Government of Goa and the citizens of Goa for this great success. I also assure the countrymen that the dream from the Red Fort three years ago is being realized with the help of all the institutions starting from Gram Panchayats. I once again wish a very happy Krishna Janmashtami and end my speech.

My colleague in the Union Cabinet, Shri Nitin Gadkari ji, Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Vijay Rupani ji, all the stakeholders associated with the auto industry, all the OEM associations, all the members of the metal and scrapping industry, ladies and gentlemen! This program, ahead of the 75th Independence Day, is another important step towards fulfilling the significant goals of the self-reliant India. Today the country is launching the National Automobile Scrappage Policy. This policy is going to provide a new identity to the mobility of new India and to the auto sector. This policy will play a huge role in the modernization of the vehicle population in the country and removal of unfit vehicles from roads in a scientific manner. This will lead to a positive change in almost every citizen, every industry and every sector of the country. Friends, You all know that mobility is a big factor for the country’s economy. Modernity in mobility not only lessens the burden of travel and transportation, but also proves to be helpful in economic development. The 21st century India should move with the goal of clean, congestion-free and convenient mobility and it is the need of the hour. Therefore, the government has taken this step and all the stalwarts of the industry and all the stakeholders have an important role in it. Friends, The new scrapping policy is an important part of the waste-to-wealth mission and the circular economy. This policy also reflects our commitment to reduce pollution from the cities of the country and protect the environment while ensuring rapid development. Following the principles of reuse, recycle and recovery, this policy will give new energy to the country’s self-reliance in the auto and metal sectors.Moreover, this policy will bring new investmentsworth more than 10,000 crore rupees in the country and will create thousands of jobs. Friends, The timing of the program that we launched today is very special in itself. We are about to enter the 75th year of independence. From here onwards, the next 25 years are very important for the country. Many changes are going to happen the way we work, in our daily life and in businesses in the next 25 years. There will be a lot of changes, both in our lifestyle and in our economy, because the way technology is changing. In the midst of this change, it is equally important to protect our environment, land, resources and raw materials. When these rare earth metals that drive technology and that are available today will become rare, it is difficult to say. We can work on technology and innovation in future, but the wealth that we get from Mother Earth is not in our hands. Therefore, on one hand, India is exploring new possibilities through the Deep Ocean Mission, on the other hand, it is also encouraging a circular economy. The effort is to make development sustainable and environment friendly. We are experiencing the challenges of climate change every day. Therefore, India needs to take big steps in its own interest and in the interest of its citizens. With this thinking, unprecedented work has been done in the energy sector in the last few years. Be it solar and wind power or biofuel, today India is joining the leading countries in the world. A huge campaign of Waste to Wealth has been undertaken. It has also been linked to cleanliness and to self-reliance as well. In fact, nowadays, we are using a large amount of waste in the construction of roads. Recycling is also being encouraged in the construction of government buildings and houses for the poor. Friends, The automobile sector has also been added to many such endeavors. This policy will greatly benefit ordinary families in every way. The first advantage will be that a certificate will be issued on scrapping the old vehicle. The person who has this certificate will not have to pay any money for registration on the purchase of a new vehicle. Along with this, he will also be given a discount on road tax. The second advantage will be that there will be savings on maintenance and repair costs of the old vehicle andit will also ensure fuel efficiency. The third benefit is directly related to life. The risk of road accidents is very high in old vehicles due to old technology. It will get rid of that. Fourth, it will also minimize the impact of pollution on our health. Importantly, the vehicle will not be scrapped just because it is old. The vehicles will be scientifically tested for fitness at the authorized automated testing centers. If the vehicle is unfit, it will be scrapped scientifically. In this regard, registered vehicle scrapping facilities will be set up across the country and it will be ensured that these are technology driven and transparent. Friends, Gujarat has experienced the benefits of formal scrapping, and now Nitin ji has also explained it. Alang in Gujarat is known as the ship recycling hub. Alang is rapidly increasing its share in the world’s ship recycling industry. This infrastructure of ship recycling has created thousands of new employment opportunities here. This entire region also has infrastructure and skilled manpower. Therefore, it can also emerge as a big hub for scrapping vehicles after ships. Friends, The sector related to scrap will get a new boost in the entire country. There will be tremendous change in the lives of people, especially our workers who are involved in scrapping and small businessmen. This will provide a safe environment to the workers and they will also get benefits like other employees of organized sectors. Small traders dealing in scrap can also act as collection agents for authorized scrapping centres. Friends, Auto and metal industry will get a huge boost from this policy. We had to import scrap steel worth about Rs 23,000 crore in the last year alone, because the scrapping in India till now is not productive. Energy recovery is almost negligible, high-strength steel alloys are not fully valued, and precious metals cannot be recovered. Now when there is scientific and technology-based scrapping, we will be able to recover even rare earth metals. Friends, Continuous steps are being taken to give impetus to AatmaNirbhar Bharat campaign and make the industry sustainable and productive in India. It is our endeavor that we have to depend on imports as little as possible for the value chain associated with auto manufacturing. But the industry also needs to put in some extra efforts. You should also have a clear roadmap of self-reliant India for the next 25 years. The country is now moving towards clean, congestion-free and convenient mobility. Therefore, the old approaches and old practices have to be changed. Today, India is committed to providing its citizens with global standards in terms of safety and quality. This is the thinking behind the direct transition from BS-4 to BS-6. Friends, The government is doing extensive work at every level from research to infrastructure for green and clean mobility in the country. Be it ethanol, hydrogen fuel or electric mobility. The active participation of the industry is very important in these priorities of the government. The industry will have to increase its stake in both R&D and infrastructure. The government is ready to provide whatever help you need for this. We have to take our partnership to a new level. I am sure that this new policy will infuse a new energy, new momentum, and new confidence among the countrymen as well as in the auto sector. I do not believe that the people of the industry will let go of this momentous occasion. I don’t believe that people running old vehicles will let go of this opportunity. This is a system that has come with the belief of an enormous change in itself.Today this policy has been launched in Gujarat. Though the word circular economy may appear to be new to Gujarat or to the country, but we all know how our grandmother makes a quilt from our old clothes. And when the quilt becomes old, its cloth is used for mopping after tearing it apart. What is recycling?What is a circular economy?it is not new to India,we just have to take it forward in a scientific way. And if it is taken forward in a scientific way, I am sure everyone will be involved in this campaign to create wealth out of waste and we will be successful in inventing more new things. I once again wish you all the very best. Thanks a lot.",গুজৰাটত ইনভেষ্টৰ ছামিটত দিয়া প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-kaushal-dikshant-samaroh-of-iti-on-the-occasion-of-vishwakarma-jayanti/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D/,"Namaskar! I am privileged that I have got an opportunity today to interact with the students of lakhs of ITIs of the country. Students from various institutions related to skill development, teachers, other dignitaries of the world of education, ladies and gentlemen! Today a new history has been created in our country marching ahead in the 21st century. For the first time, the Kaushal Dikshant Samaroh of more than nine lakh students of ITIs has been organized. More than 40 lakh students are also connected with us through virtual medium. I wish you all for the Kaushal Dikshant Samaroh and today is also a very auspicious occasion. Today is also the birth anniversary of Lord Vishwakarma. What a wonderful coincidence that the Kaushal Dikshant Samaroh, which is your first step on the path of innovation with skills, is happening on the auspicious occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti! I can confidently say that as pleasant as your beginning is, your journey to the future will also be more creative. Wishing you and all the countrymen a very Happy Lord Vishwakarma Jayanti! Friends, Vishwakarma Jayanti is the festival of consecration of skill. An idol by a sculptor is not called the form of God as long as life is not infused into it. Today it is a matter of pride for all of us that today your skills are being honoured and recognized on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti. Vishwakarma Jayanti in the true sense is the honour of the person who works hard; it is the day of workers. In our country, the skill of the worker is seen as the part of God; he is seen in the form of Vishwakarma. That is, there is a part of God somewhere in the skill that you have. I believe that this event is like an emotional tribute to Lord Vishwakarma. Call it ‘Kaushalanjali’ or ‘Karmanjali’, what can be a more wonderful day than the birth anniversary of Vishwakarma. Friends, In the last eight years, the country has launched many new schemes with the inspiration of Lord Vishwakarma. There is an effort to revive our tradition of ‘Shramev Jayate’. Today, the country is once again honouring skills by giving equal emphasis on skill development. To make this century the century of India, it is very important that the youth of India should be equally proficient in education as well as skill. Keeping this in mind, our government has given top priority to skill development of youth and creation of new institutions. The first ITI in our country was established in 1950. In the following seven decades, about 10,000 ITIs were formed. In the eight years of our government, about 5,000 new ITIs have been established in the country. More than four lakh new seats have also been added in ITIs in the last eight years. Apart from this, National Skill Training Institutes, Indian Institutes of Skills and thousands of Skill Development Centers have also been opened across the country. The government is also going to open more than 5,000 skill hubs to promote skill development at the school level. In the new National Education Policy, experienced-based learning is also being promoted and skill courses are being introduced in schools in the country. The government has taken another decision for all the students of ITIs, which is benefiting all of you. Students joining ITI after passing 10th standard are also getting 12th pass certificates easily through National Open School. This will help you in further studies. Another important decision for you has been taken a few months back. There is a special provision for the recruitment of youth in the army who have taken technical training from ITIs. That is, now the youth who graduate from ITIs will get a chance in the army as well. Friends, Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) also have a big role to play in India’s success in this era of Fourth Industrial Revolution, i.e., ‘Industry 4.0’. The nature of job is also changing with time, and therefore, the government has taken special care so that the students studying in our ITIs should also have easy access to every modern course. Today many courses related to coding, artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, drone technology, tele-medicine etc have been launched in ITIs. You can also see how India is taking the lead in the field of renewable energy, solar power and electric vehicles. With the introduction of such courses in many of our ITIs, it will be easier for you to get employment opportunities. Friends, Today, with the expansion of technology in the country, job opportunities too are increasing. For example, when the country is opening lakhs of Common Service Centers by providing optical fiber to every village, more and more opportunities are being created in the villages for the students who have passed out from ITIs. Whether it is repair of mobile phones in villages, new technology related to agriculture, spraying of fertilizer or pesticides with drones, many new types of jobs are being created in the rural economy. The role of ITIs is very important in this regard so that our youth get full benefit of these possibilities. Keeping this in mind, the government is also constantly working to upgrade ITIs and making timely changes. Friends, Along with skill development, it is equally important to have soft skills among the youth. This is also being given special emphasis in ITIs. The courses also detail how to make a business plan, the schemes to get loans from banks, how to fill the necessary forms, how to register a new company, etc. As a result of these efforts of the government, India has quality as well as diversity in skills. In the past few years, our ITI pass-outs have won many important prizes in World Skills Competitions. Friends, There is another aspect related to skill development, which is equally important to be discussed. When a youth has the power of education as well as the skill, then his self-confidence automatically increases. When the youth is empowered with skills, it comes to his mind how to start his own venture. To support this spirit of self-employment, today you also have schemes like Mudra Yojana, Startup India and Standup India, which provide loans without guarantee. The goal is in front and you have to move in that direction. Today the country has held your hand and tomorrow you have to take the country forward. Just as the next 25 years of your life are very important, similarly the 25 years of ‘Amrit Kaal’ are equally important for the country. You all are the leaders of Make in India and Vocal for Local campaigns. You are like the backbone of the industry of India and therefore you have a huge role to play in fulfilling the resolve of a developed India, a self-reliant India. Friends, You have to remember one more thing. Today many major countries of the world need skilled workforce to fulfill their dreams and to maintain their pace. Many opportunities are waiting for you in the country as well as abroad. The world’s confidence in India is also growing continuously in the changing global circumstances. India has proved even during the Corona period that its skilled workforce and its youth are capable of providing solutions to the biggest challenges. Today the youth of India are leaving their mark in every country because of their skills and talent whether it is health services, hotel-hospital management, digital solutions, or disaster management. I remember being told by important leaders during my foreign visits that a particular building was built by the people of India or a special project was completed by the people of India. You have to take full advantage of this belief too. Friends, Today I would like to make another request to you. What you have learned today will definitely become the basis of your future, but you will also have to upgrade your skills according to the future. Therefore, when it comes to skills, your mantra should be ‘Skilling, ‘Re-skilling’ and ‘Up-skilling’. Always keep an eye on what’s new happening in whatever field you’re in. For example, if someone has done a normal course in automobile, then he will now have to re-skill himself according to the demand of the electric vehicles. Similarly, things are changing rapidly in every field. Therefore, keep upgrading your skills and innovate according to the changing times. It is also very important to know which new skill in your field will add to your growth manifold. Therefore, you must learn new skills and share your knowledge as well. I am sure you will move ahead at this pace, and will give direction to the better future of New India with your skills. And friends, I want to add one more thing that you should never underestimate yourself. Your skill, capability, resolution and dedication are the biggest assets for the bright future of India. It is a matter of pride for me that today I have got an opportunity to interact with young people like you who have talent, skills and big dreams on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti. With this spirit that may the blessings of Lord Vishwakarma continue to be with you, may your skills continue to develop and expand, many best wishes to all of you!

First of all, I warmly welcome Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ji and her delegation. Last year we celebrated together the fiftieth anniversary of Bangladesh’s independence, the golden jubilee of our diplomatic relations, and the birth centenary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. On December 06 last year, we also celebrated the first ‘Maitri Diwas’ together all over the world. Today, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ji’s visit is taking place during the Amrit Mahotsav of our independence. And I am confident that in the Amrit Kaal of the next 25 years, India-Bangladesh friendship will touch new heights. Friends, Bangladesh has made remarkable progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ji. In the last few years, our mutual cooperation has also increased rapidly in every field. Today, Bangladesh is India’s largest development partner and our largest trade partner in the region. Our close cultural and people-to-people relations have also steadily grown. Today, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ji and I had extensive discussions on all bilateral, regional and international issues. We both believe that by taking lessons from the COVID pandemic and recent global developments, we need to make our economies stronger. With the expansion of connectivity between our two countries, and the development of trade infrastructure on the border, the two economies will be able to connect more with each other, support each other. Our bilateral trade is growing rapidly. Today, India is the largest market in Asia for Bangladesh’s exports. To further accelerate this growth, we will soon start discussions on the Bilateral Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. We also decided to increase cooperation in sectors like IT, space and nuclear energy, which are of interest to our younger generations. We will also continue to cooperate on climate change and on preserving a common heritage like the Sundarbans. Friends, Rising energy prices are presently posing a challenge to all developing countries. The unveiling of the first unit of Maitree Thermal Power Plant today will increase the availability of affordable electricity in Bangladesh. Fruitful talks are also underway between the two countries on connecting power transmission lines. The inauguration of the railway bridge over the Rupsha River is a remarkable step towards enhancing connectivity. This bridge is an important part of the new railway line being built between Khulna and Mongla Port under India’s Line of Credit. India will continue to extend all support for the development and expansion of Bangladesh’s railway system. Friends, There are 54 rivers that pass through the Indo-Bangladesh border, and have been linked to the livelihood of the people of the two countries for centuries. These rivers, folk tales about them, folk songs, have also been witness to our shared cultural heritage. Today, we have signed an important agreement on sharing water of the Kushiyara river. This will benefit Southern Assam in India and Sylhet region in Bangladesh. I and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also had a fruitful conversation on enhancing cooperation in relation to flood mitigation. India has been sharing flood-related data with Bangladesh on a real-time basis and we have also extended the period of data sharing. Today, we also stressed on cooperation against terrorism and radicalism. To keep the spirit of 1971 alive, it is also very important that we fight together such forces, which want to attack our mutual trust. Friends, In realizing the vision of a stable, prosperous and progressive Bangladesh that Bangabandhu had seen, India will continue to walk step by step with Bangladesh. Our conversation today was also an excellent opportunity to reiterate this core commitment. Once again, I extend a warm welcome to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ji and her delegation to India. And wish her a pleasant stay in India.

At the outset, I express my deep grief over the mishap in Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. I offer my condolences to the families of the people who have died. Financial help is also being given to the affected families. Friends, This is our 24th meeting regarding Corona in the last two years. The way the Center and the states cooperated together during the Corona period has played an important role in the country’s fight against Corona. I appreciate all the Corona Warriors along with all the Chief Ministers, State Governments and officers. Friends, The Health Secretary has just briefed us in detail regarding the rising cases of Corona in some states. The respected Home Minister has also shared many important aspects with us. At the same time, many Chief Ministers have also presented many important points before everybody. It is clear that the Covid challenge is not fully over yet. We can see in European countries how Omicron and its sub-variants can cause serious problems. In the last few months, sub-variants are causing surges in many countries. India has been able to deal with the situation better than most countries. However, we need to be alert in view of the uptick in cases in some states in the last two weeks. We have learned a lot from the (last) wave that came a few months back. All the countrymen successfully dealt with the Omicron wave without panic. Friends, Within two years, the country has strengthened whatever is necessary in every aspect related to Corona, from health infrastructure to oxygen supply. There were no reports of the situation going out of control in any state in the third wave. It was largely helped by our Covid Vaccination Campaign! The vaccines have reached every state, district and region of the country, irrespective of the geographical conditions. It is a matter of pride for every Indian that today 96 percent of the adult population of India has received the first dose of Corona vaccines. About 85 percent of citizens above 15 years of age have already had a second dose. Friends, You are aware and most of the experts of the world also conclude that vaccines are the best shield against Corona. Schools have opened in our country after a long time and classes have resumed. Parents are increasingly becoming worried due to the rise in Corona cases. There have also been reports of children getting infected in some schools. But it is a matter of satisfaction that most children have the shield of the vaccines. We started vaccination for 12 to 14-year-olds in March. Just yesterday, permission has been given for the vaccination of children between 6 to 12 years. Our priority is to vaccinate all eligible children at the earliest. Special campaigns will also be needed in schools as before. We also have to ensure that teachers and parents should be aware of this. The precautionary dose is also available for all adults in the country to strengthen the vaccine protective shield. Teachers, parents and other eligible people can also take precautionary doses. We also need to make them aware. Friends, We have seen more than three lakh cases every day during the third wave. All our states handled these cases and gave impetus to the rest of the socio-economic activities as well. This balance should remain a part of our strategy in the future as well. Our scientists and experts are continuously monitoring the national and global situation. We have to work with a pre-emptive, proactive and collective approach to their suggestions. Preventing infections at the very beginning was our priority and should remain so even now. We have to implement our strategy of Test, Track and Treat as effectively as all of you have mentioned. In the current situation, it is necessary that a 100 percent RT-PCR test should be done for patients hospitalized due to influenza. The sample of whoever tests positive must be sent for genome sequencing. This will enable us to identify the variants in a timely manner. Friends, We have to promote Covid-appropriate behavior in public places, as well as ensure that panic does not spread in public. Friends, In today’s discussion, the work being done to upgrade the health infrastructure was also discussed. It should be ensured that the work of upgrading the infrastructure continues at a fast pace. We are in a much better position in terms of facilities like beds, ventilators and PSA oxygen plants. In order to ensure that these facilities remain functional, we also have to monitor them and fix the responsibility so that we do not face any crises in the future. I would also request that the gap, if any, should be verified at the top level and efforts should be made to address it. We need to scale up medical infrastructure and manpower in all the medical colleges and district hospitals. I am sure we will continue to evolve best practices, continue the fight against Corona firmly and find ways out with mutual cooperation and dialogue. Friends, Following the spirit of cooperative federalism as expressed in the Constitution, India has fought this long battle firmly against Corona. Due to the global situation and the effect of external factors on the internal conditions of the country, the Center and the states together have fought it and will have to do it further. It is only due to the joint efforts of the Center and the states that today the health infrastructure in the country has improved considerably. But friends, today I want to mention one more aspect. In the wake of today’s global conditions, coordination between the central and state governments in economic decisions has become more necessary than ever to strengthen India’s economy. You all are aware that the challenges are increasing day by day in the wake of the situation caused by war and the way the supply chain has been affected. This global crisis is causing many challenges. In times of crisis, it has become imperative to further enhance the spirit of cooperative federalism and synergy between the Center and the states. Now let me give you a small example. The issue of petrol and diesel prices is before all of us. The Central Government had reduced the excise duty in order to reduce the burden of rising petrol and diesel prices on the countrymen. It was reduced in November last year. The central government had also urged the states to reduce taxes and pass on the benefits to the citizens. Accordingly, some states reduced the taxes, but some states did not pass on any benefit to the people. As a result, the prices of petrol and diesel are still higher in these states. This is not only injustice to the people of these states, but also harms the neighboring states. It is natural that the states which cut taxes lose revenue. For example, if Karnataka had not reduced taxes, it would have earned revenue of more than Rs 5,000 crore in these six months. Had Gujarat also not reduced the taxes, it would have earned revenue of more than 3,500-4,000 crore rupees. Some states took positive steps by reducing VAT for the betterment of their citizens so that their citizens do not suffer. On the other hand, the neighboring states of Gujarat and Karnataka earned additional revenue ranging from 3,500 to 5,500 crore rupees in these six months by not reducing taxes. As you know, I had requested every state to reduce VAT in November last year. I am not criticizing anyone. I am requesting you to ensure the well-being of the citizens of your state. Six months ago, some states followed my request whereas some others did not. Some states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Jharkhand did not agree for some reason and as a result, the burden on the citizens of their states continued. I will not go into how much revenue these states earned during this period. It had to be done in the interest of the country last November. There has already been a delay of six months. But now I request you to reduce VAT to ensure benefits to the citizens of their states. As you are aware 42 percent of the revenue of the Government of India goes to the states. I urge all the states to work together as a team in the spirit of cooperative federalism during the ongoing global crisis. There are several issues, but I am not going into their details. For example, fertilizer! We are dependent on many countries of the world for fertilizers. There has been such a huge crisis and subsidies are increasing manifold. We do not want to burden our farmers. In the wake of such a crisis, I request all of you to give top priority to the interests of the people in your state and your neighbouring state. I will give you another example. Now what was to be done in November was not done. So, what happened in the last six months? Today, petrol in Tamil Nadu costs around Rs 111 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, more than Rs. 118 in Jaipur, Rs. 119 in Hyderabad, Rs.115 in Kolkata and Rs. 120 in Mumbai. It is Rs. 102 in Diu Daman next to Mumbai which lowered the prices. It is Rs. 120 in Mumbai, whereas it is Rs. 102 in nearby Diu Daman. It is Rs. 115 in Kolkata, Rs. 105 in Lucknow, around Rs. 120 in Hyderabad, Rs. 106 in Jammu, Rs. 118 in Jaipur, Rs. 105 in Guwahati, Rs. 105 in Gurugram and Rs. 103 in Dehradun in a smaller state Uttarakhand. Whatever revenues you earned in the last six months will benefit your states. But today I make a special request to you to cooperate in the national interests. Friends, One more topic on which I want to put my point today. The heat is increasing rapidly in the country and it is getting very hot before time and we are also witnessing increasing incidents of fire at different places. There have been incidents of fire in forests, in important buildings and in hospitals in the past few days. We all remember how painful those days were when many hospitals caught fire last year and it was a very painful situation. That was a very difficult time. Many people lost their lives in these accidents. Therefore, I urge all the states to carry out safety audits and strengthen the security arrangements, especially in hospitals, on a priority basis. I would urge you to put your teams, especially for monitoring, so that we can avoid or minimize such incidents and our response time should also be minimal. There should be no loss of life and property and there should be no accidents anywhere in the country. Our innocent citizens should not lose their lives. Friends, I once again thank you all for taking out time and I am always available to you. I would love it if you have any important suggestions. I thank you all very much once again.",ক’ভিড-১৯ পৰিস্থিতি সন্দৰ্ভত মুখ্যমন্ত্ৰীসকলৰে হোৱা আলোচনাৰ অন্তত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে প্ৰদান কৰা সামৰণী ভাষণৰ পা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/today-is-an-important-day-in-indias-efforts-to-vaccinate-our-citizens-says-pm/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%AE/,"Urges youngsters in the 12-14 age group and all those above 60 to get vaccinated The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has said that today is an important day in India’s efforts to vaccinate our citizens and urged youngsters in the 12-14 age group and all those above 60 to get vaccinated.

The Prime Minister said that the ‘sanskaars’ that the President received from the soil of Paraunkh village are being witnessed by the world today.

The Prime Minister recalled that the President said that he was following his ‘sanskars’ of welcoming a guest. The Prime Minister thanked the President for his gracious gesture. Shri Modi mentioned that the President had given his ancestral residence to be developed as a ‘Milan Kendra’. Today it is giving new strength to women empowerment in the form of consultation and training center. Similarly, Dr. B R Ambedkar Bhawan is promoting the ideals of Babasaheb Ambedakar. The Prime Minister said that Paraunkh will continue to grow by the collective efforts of people of the village and will present the model of a perfect village to the country. The Prime Minister said that one’s village never leaves a person wherever he or she goes. The Prime Minister said Mahatma Gandhi used to see the independence of India by connecting it with the village of India. The village of India means, where there is spirituality, there should also be ideals.The village of India means, where there are traditions, and there is also progress. The village of India means, wherever there is culture, there should also be co-operation. Where there is love, there is equality. In this period of Amrit Kaal, there is a need to strengthen such villages. Country is moving ahead with this pledge of working for villages, farmers, poor and Panchayati democracy, he added. “Our villages have the most potential and labour force, and the highest dedication. That’s why empowerment of villages of India is one of the top priorities of our government”, he said. The Prime Minister said that crores of rural people have been benefited by the schemes like Jan Dhan Yojna, PMAY, Ujjawala and Har Ghar Jal. “The country has worked at an unprecedented pace for the welfare of the poor”, he said. Now the country is trying to take the 100 per cent benefit of all the schemes to 100 percent people. Saturation of schemes is a high priority now. This will lead to empowerment of all without any discrimination, he said. Referring to the strength of Indian democracy, the Prime Minister pointed out that all four dignitaries on the stage, the President, the Prime Minister, The Governor and the Chief Minister of UP have emerged from villages or the small towns. Our struggles and direct contact with poverty and village life have strengthened our sanskars, this is the strength of our democracy, “in India, even the poorest person born in a village can reach the post of President-Prime Minister-Governor-Chief Minister”, he said. In the context of the strength of democracy, the Prime Minister cautioned against dynasty politics. He said It is dynasty politics that throttles talents not only in politics, but in every field and prevents new talent from growing. “I have no personal grudge against any political party or any person. I want that there should be a strong opposition in the country and there should be political parties dedicated to democracy”, he continued “I want the parties trapped in the clutches of the dynasty to free themselves from this disease and to cure themselves. Only then the democracy of India will be strong, the youth of the country will get maximum opportunity to join politics.” The Prime Minister requested the villagers to help in construction of Amrit Sarovar in the village and also asked them to adopt natural farming. He concluded that Sabka Prayas is the way to achieve Aatmnirbhar Bharat and Aatamnirbhar village is the key to Aatmnirbhar Bharat.

(TCIL) as per the following details: a) To allow Telecommunications Consultants India Limited (TCIL) to fill up such number of posts by deputation of Group ‘A’ officers of the Department of Telecommunications(DoT) and other Ministries, with Telecommunication and Information Technology background, for the intervening period i.e. from 01.10.2016 till the approval of this proposal (earlier Cabinet approval was valid up to 30.09.2016) and for a further period of three years from the date of approval, as per DPE guidelines subject to maximum of 10% of the total number .of below Board level posts, in Telecommunications Consultants India Limited (TCIL) with exemption from the rule of immediate absorption and b) To allow that in future the issue of exemption of below Board Level Posts in Telecommunications Consultants India Limited (TCIL) may be dealt in terms of DPE OM No. 18(6)/2001-GM-GL-77 dated 28.12.2005 so that such proposal is not required to be brought before the Cabinet. Background: TCIL is a leading ISO-9001: 2008 and ISO:2008 and 14001:2004 certified, Schedule-A, Mini Ratna Category-l Public Sector Undertaking (PSU). TCIL, a premier telecommunications consultancy and engineering company, with a strong base in Telecommunications & Information Technology, was incorporated in 1978 by Government of India with following objectives :- i. To provide world-class technology and Indian expertise globally in all fields of telecommunication, ii. To sustain, expand and excel in its operation in overseas/ Indian markets by developing proper marketing strategies. iii. To acquire State-of-the-Art technology on a continuing basis. TCIL, a 100% owned Govt. of India Undertaking, has executed projects in more than 70 countries in the domain of Telecommunications and Information Technology. It provides consultancy and turnkey project execution service from concept to completion, in the field of telecommunications, IT and civil infrastructure. The authorized capital of the company as on 31st March 2017 is Rs. 60 crores, while the paid up capital is Rs. 59.20 crores. TCIL is implementing the highly prestigious Pan-African e-Network in 48 countries which shall primarily provide Tele-education, Tele-Medicine and WIP connectivity to African Union member countries through optical fibre and satellite links since 2009. This project is a time bound project and involves comprehensive operation and maintenance till July 2021. In addition to the overseas projects, TCIL is executing a number of projects related to IT and Telecommunications at various places of India. The major projects under executions are procurement, supply, trenching, installation, testing and maintenance to facilitate exclusive optical NLD Backbone network for Defence and NFS Network for Indian Navy on turnkey basis, OPGW Project in J&K, DOP Rural ICT solution (RH) Project, Odisha (ICT) projects in 500 schools & 1500 schools, U.P., web based services across various states of India. Supplying of hardware and software to BBNL for project management works of NOFN project, etc. For execution of ongoing overseas/ inland projects besides expected projects in pipeline, TCIL requires experienced and talented senior officers of telecom and IT background as per the requirement of the projects handled by it, from time to time. By taking expert manpower on deputation, TCIL can remain competitive in national and international market as it is difficult for TCIL to get such manpower from the open market at the economical rates as compared to deputationist and that too at a short notice. Moreover, in case TCIL engage manpower from open market, it becomes a permanent liability on TCIL as against the deputationists, who remain with TCIL only for the project period for which their services are required. Accordingly, the Cabinet has allowed TCIL to fill up posts on deputation from Group ‘A’ officers of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and other Ministries, with Telecommunication and information Technology background for the intervening period i.e. from 01.10.2016 till the approval of this proposal (earlier Cabinet approval was valid up to 30.09.2016) and for a further period of three years from the date of approval as per DPE guidelines subject to maximum of 10% of the total number of below Board level posts in TCIL Cabinet has further allowed that in future the issue of exemption of below Board Level Posts in Telecommunications Consultants India Limited (TCIL) may be dealt in terms of DPE OM No. 18(6)72001-GM-GL-77 dated 28.12.2.005.",দূৰসংযোগ আৰু তথ্য প্ৰযুক্তিৰ শিক্ষাগত যোগ্যতা থকা দূৰসংযোগ বিভাগৰ প্ৰথম পৰ্যায়ৰ বিষয়া আৰু অন্যান্য মন্ত্ৰালয়ৰ সমপৰ্যায়ৰ বিষয়াক টেলিকমিউনিকেশ্যন কনছালটেণ্ট ইণ্ডিয়া লিমিটেডত ডেপুটেচনত নিযুক্তি প্ৰদানৰ বাবে কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-indias-updated-nationally-determined-contribution-to-be-communicated-to-the-united-nations-framework-convention-on-climate-change/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87-%E0%A7%B0/,"Approval translates Prime Minister ‘Panchamrit’ announced at COP 26 into enhanced climate targets A step towards achieving India’s long term goal of reaching net-zero by 2070 India now stands committed to reduce Emissions Intensity of its GDP by 45 percent by 2030 Prime Minister’s concept of mass movement for ‘LIFE’– ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ as a key to combating climate change” The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved India’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to be communicated to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The updated NDC seeks to enhance India’s contributions towards achievement of the strengthening of global response to the threat of climate change, as agreed under the Paris Agreement. Such action will also help India usher in low emissions growth pathways. It would protect the interests of the country and safeguard its future development needs based on the principles and provisions of the UNFCCC. India at the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in Glasgow, United Kingdom, expressed to intensify its climate action by presenting to the world five nectar elements (Panchamrit) of India’s climate action. This update to India’s existing NDC translates the ‘Panchamrit’ announced at COP 26 into enhanced climate targets. The update is also a step towards achieving India’s long term goal of reaching net-zero by 2070. Earlier, India submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to UNFCCC on October 2, 2015. The 2015 NDC comprised eight goals; three of these have quantitative targets upto 2030 namely, cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil sources to reach 40%; reduce the emissions intensity of GDP by 33 to 35 percent compared to 2005 levels and creation of additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover. As per the updated NDC, India now stands committed to reduce Emissions Intensity of its GDP by 45 percent by 2030, from 2005 level and achieve about 50 percent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030. Today’s approval, also takes forward the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of sustainable lifestyles and climate justice to protect the poor and vulnerable from adverse impacts of climate change. The updated NDC reads “To put forward and further propagate a healthy and sustainable way of living based on traditions and values of conservation and moderation, including through a mass movement for ‘LIFE’– ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ as a key to combating climate change”. The decision on enhanced NDCs demonstrates India’s commitment at the highest level for decoupling of economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions. India’s updated NDC has been prepared after carefully considering our national circumstances and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC). India’s updated NDC also reaffirms our commitment to work towards a low carbon emission pathway, while simultaneously endeavoring to achieve sustainable development goals. Recognizing that lifestyle has a big role in climate change, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, at COP 26, proposed a ‘One-Word Movement’, to the global community. This one word is LIFE…L, I, F, E, i.e. Lifestyle For Environment. The vision of LIFE is to live a lifestyle that is in tune with our planet and does not harm it. India’s updated NDC also captures this citizen centric approach to combat climate change. The updated NDC also represents the framework for India’s transition to cleaner energy for the period 2021-2030. The updated framework, together with many other initiatives of the Government, including tax concessions and incentives such as Production Linked Incentive scheme for promotion of manufacturing and adoption of renewable energy, will provide an opportunity for enhancing India’s manufacturing capabilities and enhancing exports. It will lead to an overall increase in green jobs such as in renewable energy, clean energy industries- in automotives, manufacturing of low emissions products like Electric Vehicles and super-efficient appliances, and innovative technologies such as green hydrogen, etc. India’s updated NDC will be implemented over the period 2021-2030 through programs and schemes of relevant Ministries /departments and with due support from States and Union Territories. The Government has launched many schemes and programs to scale up India’s actions on both adaptation and mitigation. Appropriate measures are being taken under these schemes and programs across many sectors, including water, agriculture, forest, energy and enterprise, sustainable mobility and housing, waste management, circular economy and resource efficiency, etc. As a result of the aforesaid measures, India has progressively continued decoupling of economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions. The Net Zero target by 2030 by Indian Railways alone will lead to a reduction of emissions by 60 million tonnes annually. Similarly, India’s massive LED bulb campaign is reducing emissions by 40 million tonnes annually. India’s climate actions have so far been largely financed from domestic resources. However, providing new and additional financial resources as well as transfer of technology to address the global climate change challenge are among the commitments and responsibilities of the developed countries under UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement. India will also require its due share from such international financial resources and technological support. India’s NDC do not bind it to any sector specific mitigation obligation or action. India’s goal is to reduce overall emission intensity and improve energy efficiency of its economy over time and at the same time protecting the vulnerable sectors of economy and segments of our society.",কেন্দ্ৰীয় মন্ত্ৰীসভাই ৰাষ্ট্ৰসংঘ জলবায়ু পৰিৱৰ্তন ফ্ৰেমৱৰ্ক সন্মিলনক তথ্য প্ৰদান কৰিবলৈ ভাৰতৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় স্তৰত অদ্যাপি নিৰ্ধাৰিত অৰিহণাক মঞ্জুৰী দিছ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-attends-ground-breaking-ceremony-of-navi-mumbai-international-airport-dedicates-fourth-container-terminal-at-jnpt/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%87-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today attended the Ground Breaking Ceremony of Navi Mumbai International Airport.

Khulumakha! Many congratulations to all the people of Tripura on the completion of 50 years of statehood! I respectfully congratulate all the great personalities who contributed to the building and development of Tripura and salute their efforts! The history of Tripura has always been glorious. From the majesty of the Manikya dynasty emperors to the present day, Tripura has strengthened its role as a state. Be it tribal society or other communities, all have worked hard unitedly for the development of Tripura. With the blessings of Maa Tripura Sundari, Tripura has faced every challenge with courage. The wisdom of the people of Tripura has contributed a lot to the new phase of development in which Tripura is moving towards new heights. The three years of meaningful change are proof of this wisdom. Today Tripura is becoming a land of opportunities. Today, the double engine government is working continuously to meet even the smaller needs of the common people of Tripura. As a result, Tripura is performing well today on many parameters of development. Today this state is becoming a hub of trade corridors through large connectivity infrastructure. For so many decades, the only way Tripura had access to the rest of India was by road. There used to be a shortage of essential goods in the entire North East, including Tripura, when the roads would get blocked due to landslides in the monsoon. Today Tripura is getting rail, air, inland waterway along with the roads. Tripura had been demanding access to Chittagong Port in Bangladesh for several years after it was formed. The double engine government met this demand when the first transit cargo from Bangladesh arrived at the Akhaura Integrated Check Post in 2020. Tripura is joining the leading states of the country in terms of rail connectivity. A few days ago, the Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport has also been expanded. Friends, Today, on one hand, Tripura is doing commendable work in providing pucca houses to the poor, while on the other hand, it is also adopting new technology rapidly. Tripura is also one of the six states in the country where new technology is being used in housing construction. Whatever has happened in three years is just the beginning. The real potential of Tripura is yet to come to the fore. From transparency in administration to modern infrastructure, the Tripura that is being built today will prepare the state for decades to come. Biplab Deb ji and his team are working hard. Recently, the Tripura government has launched a campaign to ensure cent percent reach of many facilities to every village. This effort of the government will go a long way in making life easier for the people of Tripura. When India completes 100 years of its independence, then Tripura will also be completing 75 years of its statehood. This is a very good time for new resolutions and opportunities. We have to move ahead while fulfilling our duties. Let us all maintain the pace of development together. With this belief, wishing you all the very best!

Background: The NCSK has been giving its recommendations to the Government regarding specific programmes for welfare of Safai Karamcharis, study and evaluate the existing welfare programmes for Safai Karamcharis, investigate cases of specific grievances etc. Also as per the provisions of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013, the NCSK has been assigned the work to monitor the implementation of the Act, tender advice for its effective implementation to the Centre and State Governments and enquire into complaints regarding contravention/non-implementation of the provisions of the Act. Though the Government has taken many steps for the upliftment of the Safai Karamcharis, the deprivation suffered by them in socio-economic and educational terms is still far from being eliminated. Although manual scavenging has been almost eradicated, sporadic instances do occur. Hazardous cleaning of sewer/septic tanks continues to be an area of the highest priority for the Government. Hence, the Government feels that there is a continued need to monitor the various interventions and initiatives of the Government for welfare of Safai Karamcharis and to achieve the goal of complete mechanization of sewer/septic tanks cleaning in the country and rehabilitation of manual scavengers.",কেবিনেটে চাফাই কৰ্মচাৰীৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় আয়োগৰ কাৰ্যকাল তিনি বছৰলৈ বৃদ্ধি কৰিবলৈ অনুমোদন জনাইছ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-thanks-world-leaders-for-their-greetings-on-indias-73rd-republic-day/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%AD%E0%A7%A9-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%B8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has thanked world leaders for their greetings on India’s 73rd Republic Day.

The foundation stone of the airport was laid by the Prime Minister in November 2016. Developed at a cost of around Rs 2,870 crores, the airport has been built on the theme of sustainable infrastructure and comprises a solar power plant, green buildings, LED lights on the runway, rainwater harvesting, state-of-the-art sewage treatment plant with recycling facilities, among other such facilities. Initially, phase I of the Airport will cater to around 4.4 million passengers per annum (MPPA), which can be expanded to a saturation capacity of 33 MPPA. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister congratulated all the citizens of Goa and the country for the inauguration of the greenfield airport in Mopa. Recalling his visits to Goa in the last eight years, the Prime Minister asserted that the love and affection shown by the people of Goa towards him will be repaid with interest in the form of development. “This advanced airport terminal is an attempt to return the favour” he added. He expressed happiness that the Airport is named after the late Manohar Parrikar. Remarking on the approach towards infrastructural development by the governments in the past, the Prime Minister said that the vote bank had been the first priority instead of the needs and requirements of the citizens. The Prime Minister underlined that thousands of crores were spent on projects that were not even required. As a result, the places that were in dire need of infrastructural development remained neglected. “Goa International Airport is a clear example of this”, he added. Recalling Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government that had initially planned this airport, the Prime Minister lamented the lack of effort after his government was out of power and the project remained abandoned for many years. In 2014, the Prime Minister said that once the Double Engine Government came to the scene, work on the airport gained new momentum and he laid the foundation stone 6 years ago despite legal hurdles and the pandemic, this airport is ready to function today. The airport has the facility to handle about 40 lakh passengers per year which can be scaled up to 3.5 crores in future. Apart from tourism benefits, the presence of two airports has created new opportunities for Goa as a cargo hub. The Prime Minister pointed out that Manohar International Airport is proof of the changed working style and approach to governance. He said before 2014, air travel was an elite affair for well-to-do people. This neglect of the common citizen’s desire for air travel led to low investment in airports and other infrastructure related to air travel and India lagged behind in air travel despite huge potential. The Prime Minister said that in the first 70 years of independence, the number of airports in the country was just 70 and air travel was restricted to big cities. The Government worked on 2 levels, the Prime Minister continued, First, the Airport network was expanded throughout the country. Second, common citizens got the opportunity for air travel via the UDAN scheme. In the last 8 years, 72 airports have been constructed compared to 70 in the 70 years before that. This means that the number of airports has doubled in the country. Furthermore, the number of air passengers rose to more than 14 crores in 2020 (just before the pandemic) compared to just 6 crore passengers in the year 2000. More than 1 crore passengers flew under the UDAN scheme. “Because of these measures, India has become the world’s third-largest aviation market”, he said. Referring to the achievements of the Udaan Yojna, the Prime Minister said that it has the potential to become a case study for the academic world. The Prime Minister also remarked on the changing trend of the middle class checking for air tickets instead of railways even for shorter distances. He remarked that as the network of air connectivity expands in the country, travel by air is fast becoming the go-to means of transportation. The Prime Minister said, “It is true that tourism helps in boosting the soft power of a nation, while as a nation becomes stronger, the world wants to know more about that nation and is attracted towards it.” The Prime Minister further added that if one glances at India’s prosperous history, it was the centre of attraction for the entire world where scholars, travellers, businessmen, industrialists and students would come to India to know more about the land. The Prime Minister also lamented the dark time of slavery faced by India which transformed the image and perspective toward the country even though the culture and traditions remained the same. “India of the 21st Century is New India which is making a mark on the global platform, and as a result, the perspective of the world is changing rapidly”, the Prime Minister remarked. He underlined that the world of today wants to know India and understand its ways. He further added that a lot of foreigners are narrating India’s story on digital platforms. The Prime Minister listed the steps taken to ensure ease of travel and improve the country’s tourism profile in the last 8 years. He talked about easing the visa process, improved visa-on-arrival facilities, modern infrastructure and last-mile connectivity, and accompanying digital, mobile and railway connectivity. These measures have borne results. In 2015 the number of domestic tourists in India was 14 crore. Last year this number increased to about 70 crores, he said. The Prime Minister reiterated that tourism has the biggest potential for employment and self-employment and elaborated upon the steps to improve the tourism infrastructure in Goa. “More than 10 thousand crores have been invested in highway projects in the state since 2014. The traffic problem in Goa is also being addressed. Electrification of the Konkan Railway is also benefiting the state”, he said. The Prime Minister said, apart from increasing connectivity, the government’s focus is also on promoting heritage tourism by improving the upkeep of the monuments, connectivity and related facilities. Shri Modi mentioned the development of the Agoda Jail Complex museum as an example of this effort. He added that modern technology is being used to make the monuments more attractive and the journey to the places of pilgrimage and the monuments is being facilitated via special trains, he said. The Prime Minister also praised the efforts of the Goa Government for laying equal importance on social infrastructure as much as physical infrastructure. The Prime Minister praised the success of Swyampurna Goa Abhiyan which was the key to promoting ease of living and making sure that no citizen remains deprived of the government schemes. “Today, Goa has become the perfect example of a 100% saturation model”, the Prime Minister concluded as he encouraged everyone to carry forward the development work that is taking place in the state. Chief Minister of Goa, Dr Pramod Sawant, Governor of Goa, Shri P S Sreedharan Pillai, Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Shri Jyotraditya Scindia, and Union Minister of Port, Shipping and Waterways, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik were those present on occasion. Background It has been the constant endeavour of the Prime Minister to provide world-class infrastructure and transport facilities across the country. In yet another step towards this, Prime Minister inaugurated the Mopa International Airport, Goa. The foundation stone of the airport was laid by the Prime Minister in November 2016. Developed at a cost of around Rs 2,870 crores, the airport has been built on the theme of sustainable infrastructure and comprises a solar power plant, green buildings, LED lights on the runway, rainwater harvesting, state-of-the-art sewage treatment plant with recycling facilities, among other such facilities. It has adopted some of the best-in-class technologies like 3-D Monolithic Precast buildings, StabilRoad, Robomatic Hollow precast walls, and 5G compatible IT infrastructure. Some of the features of the airport include a runway capable of handling the world’s largest aircrafts, 14 parking bays along with a night parking facility for aircrafts, self-baggage drop facilities, state of the art and independent air navigation infrastructure, among others. Initially, phase I of the Airport will cater to around 4.4 million passengers per annum (MPPA), which can be expanded to a saturation capacity of 33 MPPA. The airport will boost the socioeconomic development of the State and serve the needs of the tourism industry. It has the potential of serving as a key logistics hub, directly connecting many domestic and international destinations. It is also planned for the airport to have multi-modal connectivity. While being a world-class airport, the airport will also provide visitors with a feel and experience of Goa. The airport has extensively used Azulejos tiles, which are native to Goa. The food court also recreates the charm of a typical Goan café. It will also have a designated area for a curated flea market where local artisans and craftsmen will be encouraged to display and market their wares.",গোৱাৰ মোপাত গ্ৰীণফিল্ড আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বিমানবন্দৰ উদ্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-at-webinar-on-positive-impact-of-union-budget-on-rural-development/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87/,"Namaskar! All my cabinet colleagues, representatives of state governments, colleagues from social institutions, especially those from far-flung areas of the North East! Ladies and gentlemen, After the budget presentation, the dialogue with all the stakeholders today is very important in itself towards the implementation of the budget announcements. Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas are the basic foundation stones of our government’s policies and actions. Today’s theme — “Leaving no citizen behind” is originated from this sutra. The resolutions that we have taken for the ‘Amrit Kal’ of freedom can only be realized by the efforts of all. Everyone’s effort is possible only when there will be development for all, when every person, every class, every region will get the full benefits of development. Therefore, we have been making continuous efforts to increase the potential of every citizen and every region of the country in the last seven years. This is the purpose of the schemes to connect the rural and poor of the country with basic facilities like pucca houses, toilets, gas, electricity, water, roads, etc. The country has also found great success through these schemes. But now is the time for the saturation of these schemes, to achieve their 100% goals. For this, we will have to adopt a new strategy. New systems will have to be developed for monitoring and accountability by making full use of technology. We have to put in all our strength. Friends, The government has drawn a clear roadmap in this year’s budget to achieve this huge goal of saturation. Necessary provision has been made in the budget for every such scheme like the PM Awas Yojana, Gramin Sadak Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, connectivity of North East and broadband connectivity of villages. This is part of efforts to move towards saturation of facilities in rural areas, the border areas of the North East and aspirational districts. The Vibrant Village Program announced in the budget is very important for the development of our border villages. The Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North East Region i.e. PM-DIVINE will go a long way in ensuring 100% benefit of development plans in the North East within the time frame. Friends, Proper demarcation of property is very necessary for the development of villages. The Swamitva Yojana is proving to be very helpful. So far, more than 40 lakh property cards have been issued under this scheme. A national system for the registration of land records and a unique land identification PIN would be a great advantage. We have to ensure that the common villager is less dependent on the revenue department. The need of the hour is to integrate solutions related to digitization and demarcation of land records with modern technology. I believe that the development of villages will get a lot of momentum if all the state governments work within the time limit. These are reforms that will accelerate the pace of infrastructure projects in the villages and will also encourage business activity in the villages. To achieve a 100% target in different schemes, we have to focus on the new technology so that projects are completed faster and quality is also not compromised. Friends, A provision of Rs 48,000 crore has been made for the PM Awas Yojana in this year’s budget. We will have to step up the pace to meet the target of building 80 lakh houses this year in the stipulated time. You are aware that today six lighthouse projects are underway using new technology for affordable housing in six cities of the country. A meaningful and serious discussion is necessary for solutions on how to use this type of technology for houses in villages and for the construction projects taking place in our eco-sensitive zones. Maintenance of roads in villages, hilly areas and the North East is also a big challenge. It is also very important to identify such material which can last for a long time according to the local geographical conditions. Friends, We have set a target of providing about four crore (tap water) connections under the Jal Jeevan Mission. You will have to work harder to achieve this target. I also urge every state government to pay a lot of attention to the quality of water through the pipelines that are being laid. One of the goals of this scheme is also that people should have a sense of ownership at the village level and water governance should be reinforced. Keeping all these things in mind, we have to provide tap water to every household by 2024. Friends, Digital connectivity of villages is no longer an aspiration but the need of the day. Broadband connectivity will not only provide facilities in the villages, but it will also help in creating a large pool of skilled youth in the villages. The country’s potential will increase further with the expansion of the service sector due to broadband connectivity in the villages. We have to identify any problems and find their solutions regarding optical fiber connectivity. It is equally important to spread awareness about quality and its proper use in villages where the work has been completed. The decision to bring 100 percent post offices into the core banking system is also a major step. This step will give impetus to the campaign of financial inclusion that we started with the Jan Dhan Yojana to reach saturation. Friends, A major source of the rural economy is our mothers’ power, our women’s power. Financial inclusion has ensured greater participation of women in economic decisions in households. The participation of women through Self Help Groups needs to be expanded further. You will also have to step up your efforts to get more and more start-ups in rural areas. Friends, A detailed discussion is expected in this webinar about how to complete all the programs announced in this budget within the time limit and how to ensure the convergence of all the ministries and all the stakeholders. I am sure that the goal of ‘Leaving no citizen behind’ will be realized through such efforts. We do not wish to speak more on behalf of the government at this summit. We want to hear from you, want to know your experiences. How do we increase the capacity of our villages firstly from the point of view of governance? You think over it whether there has been any discussion at the village level by the government agencies which have some role in the development of villages by spending two-four hours with them. Being the Chief Minister of a state for a long time, I feel this is not our habit. One day somebody from the agriculture department will go, the second day somebody from the irrigation department, the third day the person from the health department and the fourth day the person from the education department will go and none will have any idea about each other. Can’t a day be earmarked when all the concerned agencies sit together with the people of the villages and the elected bodies of the villages? Today, money is not as much a problem for our villages as it is to eliminate our silos, to have convergence and take advantage of it. Now you will question what the National Education Policy has to do with rural development. There is a topic in the National Education Policy that you should introduce the children to the local skills. You take a tour of the local areas. Can’t we identify the schools in that block of the vibrant border villages that we have envisioned and visit the last village and stay there for a couple of days with students of eighth, ninth and tenth standards? Vibrancy will start emanating by visiting the villages and looking at the trees and plants and the life of those people. A child at the Tehsil level can go to the last border village by travelling 40-50-100 kilometers, can see the border as part of the education program, but it can be useful for our vibrant border villages. Can we develop such systems? We can plan as many competitions at the tehsil level in the border villages. Automatically, there will be vibrancy. Similarly, an annual get-together can be planned in a village consisting of government employees and those who are retired and settled in villages and nearby areas and discuss the government pension or salaries. ‘This is my village. Though I have gone to a city for a job, let’s sit together and plan something for the village. We are in the government, know the government and plan something for the village.’ This is what a new strategy is all about. Did we ever contemplate to deciding a birthday celebration for a village? If the people of the villages come forward to hold a festival of 10-15 days and fulfill the needs of the villages, this association with the villages will enrich the villages as much as it will be with the budget. It will be even more than that with everyone’s efforts. For example, we have Krishi Vigyan Kendras. Can we decide to introduce 50 farmers of a village comprising 200 farmers to natural farming as part of a new strategy? Most of the children from rural backgrounds come to study in agriculture universities. Have we ever visited these universities and shared the entire picture of rural development with the children? Can those who are a little educated and who go to villages during vacations share the government schemes with the people? Can we plan some strategy? We should understand that there is a need to emphasize the outcome more than the output in most of the states in India. Today a lot of money goes to the villages. We can change the situation of the villages if that money is utilized properly. We can have a kind of Village Secretariat in the villages. Village Secretariat does not necessarily mean a building or a chamber. It can be any place where we can sit together and plan something about education. Similarly, the Government of India took up a program of aspirational districts. There has been such a wonderful experience that there is a competition among districts. Every district wants not to lag behind in the state. Many districts want to surpass the national average (of goals). You should decide on eight or ten parameters in your tehsil and there should be a competition every three months based on those parameters. After the results of the competition, you will come to know which village has outperformed in those parameters and which village is performing well. There can be the best village award at the state and national levels. Ten parameters can be decided at the tehsil level and then there should be a competition among 50-100-200 villages. Let’s see which village outperforms in those 10 parameters. You will see the change. When there will be recognition at the block level, the change will begin. Therefore, I say the budget is not an issue. Today we should strive for the outcome and change. Can’t there be a tendency in the villages that no child will remain malnourished? I tell you that the people in villages will not bother about the budget of the government, but once they are determined, they will not allow any child to remain malnourished. Even today we have this ethos. If we decide that there will not be a single dropout in villages, you will see the people of the villages will associate themselves with this. We have seen that many leaders in villages, panchs and sarpanchs never visit village schools. On rare occasions do they visit village schools and that too on days when the national flag is unfurled! How can we develop this habit that this is my village and I must go there to provide leadership? The change won’t come if we simply issue a cheque, send some money or make a promise. At a time when we are celebrating 75 years of independence, can’t we realize some of the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi? Mahatma Gandhi has said that cleanliness, the soul of India, resides in the villages. Can’t we make this happen? Friends, I am sure we can get the best results if the state governments, central government, local body organizations and all our departments decide to eliminate the silos and work together. We should work with the spirit of giving something back to the country on its 75 years of independence. You are going to discuss the entire day on how to make optimum utilization of each and every penny of the budget to bring about changes in villages. If we can do this, no citizen will be left behind. Our dreams will come true. I wish you all the very best!

Further, in the last week of March 2018, a Letter of Intent (LOI) was signed between Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) represented by Chairman, ISRO and the Government of the Republic of Sao-Tome and Principe represented by its Minister for Foreign Affairs and Communities on installation and operation of a ground station in Sao-Tome and Principe for Indian space programme.

Since establishing the ground station is a specific activity and further cooperation between both the countries is required to derive the benefit of the ground station byemploying suitable technology elements, it was accepted by both the countries to sign a Framework Agreement covering multiple activities related to space under the heading of “Cooperation in the Exploration and Uses of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes”.",শান্তিপূৰ্ণ উদ্দেশ্যৰ বাবে মহাকাশত গৱেষণা আৰ ব্যৱহাৰৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত সহযোগিতা বৃদ্ধিৰ লক্ষ্যৰে ভাৰত আৰু ছাও টমে আৰু প্ৰিন্সিপেৰ মাজত স্বাক্ষৰিত পৰিকাঠামো চুক্তি সম্পৰ্কে অৱগত কৰিলে কেবিনেটক https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-integrated-check-post-at-moreh-other-infrastructure-projects-at-imphal/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8B%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, visited Imphal today.

The “National Policy on Biofuels – 2018” was notified by Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas on 04.06.2018 in supersession of National Policy on Biofuels, promulgated through the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, in 2009. Due to advancements in the field of Biofuels, various decisions taken in the National Biofuel Coordination Committee (NBCC) meetings to increase biofuel production, recommendation of the Standing Committee and the decision to advance to introduce Ethanol Blended Petrol with up to twenty per cent ethanol throughout the country from 01.04.2023, amendments are done to the National Policy on Biofuels. The following are the main amendments approved to the National Policy on Biofuels: i. to allow more feedstocks for production of biofuels, ii. to advance the ethanol blending target of 20% blending of ethanol in petrol to ESY 2025-26 from 2030, iii. to promote the production of biofuels in the country, under the Make in India program, by units located in Special Economic Zones (SEZ)/ Export Oriented Units (EoUs), iv. to add new members to the NBCC. v. to grant permission for export of biofuels in specific cases, and vi. to delete/amend certain phrases in the Policy in line with decisions taken during the meetings of National Biofuel Coordination Committee. This proposal will also attract and foster developments of indigenous technologies which will pave the way for Make in India drive and thereby generate more employment. The existing National Policy on Biofuels came up during year 2018. This amendment proposal will pave the way for Make in India drive thereby leading to reduction in import of petroleum products by generation of more and more biofuels. Since many more feedstocks are being allowed for production of biofuels, this will promote the Atmanirbhar Bharat and give an impetus to Prime Minister’s vision of India becoming ‘energy independent’ by 2047.",‘জৈৱ-ইন্ধন সম্পৰ্কীয় ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় নীতি-২০১৮’ৰ সংশোধনীলৈ কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-attends-gita-aradhana-mahotsav-at-iskcon-new-delhi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9C/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, attended the Gita Aradhana Mahotsav at ISKCON-Glory of India Cultural Centre, New Delhi, today.

The Government e Marketplace (GeM) was launched on August 9, 2016 by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India to create an open and transparent procurement platform for Government buyers. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) by the name of Government e- Marketplace (GeM SPV) was set up as the National Public Procurement Portal on 17th May, 2017 in pursuance of the approval, of the Union Cabinet accorded on 12th April, 2017. At present, the platform is open for procurement by all government buyers: central and state ministries, departments, public sector enterprises, autonomous institutions, local bodies, etc. As per existing mandate, GeM is not available for use by private sector buyers. Suppliers (sellers) can be from across all segments: government or private. No. of beneficiaries: More than 8.54 lakh registered cooperatives and their 27 Crore members would be benefitted with this initiative. GeM portal is open for all the buyers and sellers across the country. Details: 1. GeM is already adequately developed as a one stop portal to facilitate online procurement of common use Goods and Services. It is transparent, efficient, has economy of scale and is speedy in procurement. Cooperative Societies will now be allowed to procure goods and services from GeM. 2. Allowing Cooperative Societies to register on GeM as Buyers would help Cooperatives in getting competitive prices through an. open and, transparent process, 3. The validated list of cooperatives to be onboarded on GeM – for pilot as well as subsequent scale up – will be decided by Ministry of Cooperation in consultation with GeM SPV. This will ensure that technical capacity and logistics requirement of the GeM system are taken into account while deciding the pace of on boarding of Cooperative as buyers on GeM. 4. GeM will provide a dedicated onboarding process for cooperatives, provide the technical infrastructure to support additional users on existing portal, as well as provide assistance to cooperatives for onboarding and transaction journeys, via available contact centers, in-field training and other support services. 5. Ministry of Cooperation would issue necessary advisories to encourage the Cooperative Societies to make use of the GeM platform for procurement of goods and services in order to benefit from increased transparency, efficiency and competitive prices. 6. To protect interests of the broader seller community on GeM and ensure timely payments, the modalities of payment systems shall be decided by GeM in consultation with the Ministry of Cooperation. Implementation strategy and targets: GeM will initiate suitable actions, which would inter alia include creation of necessary features and functionalities on GeM portal, upgradation of infrastructure, strengthening of the helpdesk and training ecosystem, and onboarding of cooperatives. The overall pace and mechanism of roll-out would be decided by Ministry of Cooperation. The milestones and target dates will be aligned mutually between Ministry of Cooperation and GeM (Ministry of Commerce and Industry). Impact including employment generation potential: The Ministry of Cooperation wanted the Cooperative Societies to be allowed to procure goods and services from GeM as it is already adequately developed as a one stop portal to facilitate online procurement of common use Goods and Services. It is transparent, efficient, has economy of scale and is speedy in procurement. In the above context, allowing Cooperative Societies to register on GeM as Buyers of Goods & Services required by them would help Cooperatives in getting competitive prices through an open and transparent process. Moreover, since the societies have more than 27 Crore members, procurement through GeM would not only economically benefit the common man, but it would also enhance the credibility of the cooperatives. GeM has also developed a rich understanding of running an advanced procurement portal including the functional needs, managing the technical infrastructure, and dealing with multiple stakeholders involved. It is felt that the rich experience gained in creating the procurement ecosystem in the country can be significantly utilized to produce efficiencies and transparency in procurement processes for cooperatives also. This is also expected to enhance overall “Ease of Doing Business” for cooperatives, while providing a larger Buyer base to the GeM registered sellers also. Expenditure involved: While the GeM SPV will continue to leverage the existing platform and organization for supporting the proposed expanded mandate, it may need some investments in additional technology infrastructure, and additional training and support resources. To cover for these incremental costs, GeM may charge an appropriate transaction fee from cooperatives, to be decided in mutual consultation with the Ministry of Cooperation. Such charges shall not be more than the charges which GeM would charge to other Government buyers. This will be planned to ensure self-sustainability of operations for GeM, and hence no major financial implication is expected for government. Background: The GeM SPV has made significant strides since its inception. The Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) has grown with CAGR of over 84.5% from FY 2018-19 to FY 2021-22. The portal has delivered 178% growth in GMV in the FY 2021-22 and has crossed INR 1 lakh Crore in FY 2021-22 alone, which is higher than the cumulative GMV till FY 2020-21. Financial Year Annual GMV (INR) Growth over previous year FY 2018-19 16,972 Crore FY 2019-20 22,580 Crore 33% FY 2020-21 38,280 Crore 70% FY 2021-22 106760 Crore 178% Each of the three pillars of GeM viz inclusion, transparency and efficiency have seen significant progress. The contribution by MSMEs to the cumulative transaction value is about 58%. Different independent studies, including those by the World Bank and National Economic Survey 2021, indicated substantial savings due to GeM’s ability to pool in more participation and provide cost effective options. The cooperative movement in India has grown significantly, playing an important role in addressing the developmental needs of underprivileged classes in India, especially in agricultural, banking and housing sectors. There are currently 8.54 lakh registered cooperatives. These cooperatives collectively procure and sell in large quantities. Presently, the registration of cooperatives as “buyers” was not covered within the existing mandate of GeM.",কেবিনেটে চৰকাৰী ই মাৰ্কেটপ্লেচ-বিশেষ উদ্দেশ্যৰ বাহন (GeM – SPV)ৰ কাৰ্যভাৰ সম্প্ৰসাৰণ কৰি সমবায়সমূহক ক্ৰেতা হিচাপে ক্ৰয় কৰাৰ অনুমতি দিয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-inaugurates-new-building-of-central-information-commission-in-new-delhi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%A4/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today inaugurated the new building of the Central Information Commission (CIC) in New Delhi. He noted that the building had been completed before the due date, and congratulated all agencies involved in the construction. He said the environment friendly Griha-IV rating would ensure energy savings, and help conserve the environment. The Prime Minister expressed hope that the new building would help in better coordination and integration in the working of CIC. Talking about the launch of the mobile App of the CIC, the Prime Minister said this would enable citizens to file appeals with ease, and enable them to easily access information being made available by the Commission. The Prime Minister said democratic and participative governance requires transparency and accountability. He said CIC plays a key role in this regard. He said such institutes work as catalysts for trust-based governance. The Prime Minister said that an “empowered citizen” is the strongest pillar of our democracy. He said that over the last four years, the Union Government has been informing and empowering people through various means. He enumerated five pillars of the modern information highway. He said the first pillar is to ask questions (Sawaal). In this context, he mentioned the MyGov citizen engagement platform. The second pillar is listening to suggestions (Sujhaav). He said the Government is receptive and open to suggestions received from CPGRAMS or on social media. The third pillar is interaction (Sanvaad). He said this establishes a connect between the citizens and the government. The fourth pillar is activity (Sakreeyta). The Prime Minister said that during the implementation of GST, there was active follow up on complaints and suggestions. The fifth pillar is information (Soochna). The Prime Minister said that it is the Government’s duty to inform citizens about its actions. He said the Government has begun a new practice of providing information through real-time updated, online dashboards. Information on progress of schemes such as Saubhagya and Ujala has been made available, he said. The Prime Minister said information commonly asked for is being uploaded on web portals of the concerned departments and Ministries. He said digital technology is being used to improve transparency and quality of citizen services. Similarly, projects are being tracked in real-time. He said that in a meeting of PRAGATI last week, the progress of reconstruction works at Kedarnath was monitored through a drone camera. He said the PRAGATI meetings have helped speed up projects worth over 9 lakh crore rupees. The Prime Minister gave the example of the closing down of the Directorate General of Supplies and Disposals. He said that public procurement is now being done through the Government e Market, or GeM platform. This is helping end corruption and bring transparency in government procurement, he added. He also spoke of minimizing human interface in government-people interactions. The Prime Minister said that as transparency in the system increases, there is more trust in the government. He said that citizens should be aware both about their rights and their duties. He said that the CIC can also explain to people, the importance of “Acting Right.” He said that in the quest for rights, it is important not to forget duties. He said that keeping in mind the present conditions and future challenges, every responsible institution should balance its rights with its duties.",নতুন দিল্লীত কেন্দ্রীয় তথ্য আয়োগৰ নতুন ভৱন উদ্বোধন প্রধানমন্ত্রীৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-justice-dalveer-bhandari-on-being-re-elected-to-the-international-court-of-justice/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%83%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%86/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Justice Dalveer Bhandari on being re-elected to the International Court of Justice. “I congratulate Justice Dalveer Bhandari on being re-elected to the International Court of Justice.

This summit is global but the voice is local. Moreover, the beginning too is local. Today is a special day to witness as well as showcase the potential of the developing India of the 21st century. In this period of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, the date October 1, 2022 is going to be recorded in history. Secondly, the Navratri festival has begun. This is a festival of worshipping ‘Shakti’. Similarly, the biggest strength of the 21st century is also being unveiled today to take it to a new height. Today, on behalf of the country and the telecom industry of the country, 130 crore Indians are receiving a wonderful gift in the form of 5G. 5G has started a new era in the country. 5G is the beginning of an infinite sky of opportunities. I congratulate every Indian for the same. Friends, Apart from these moments of pride, I am also delighted that as 5G is getting introduced, the children from the rural schools, the villages, the labourers and the poor are also participating with us in the event. A short while ago, I was getting acquainted with a daughter of a rural school in UP through 5G hologram technology. When I was campaigning in the 2012 elections with holograms, it was a wonder for the world. Today this technology is reaching every household. I realized how new technology was changing the meaning of education for them. Similarly, through 5G, children even from the remotest schools in villages of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Odisha are learning new things in the classroom with top experts. It is indeed a thrilling experience to be a part of a new age classroom with them. Friends, India’s efforts on 5G have another message for all. New India will not remain as a mere consumer of technology, but India will play a very active role in the development and implementation of that technology. India will play a crucial role in designing the wireless technology of the future as well as in the manufacturing related to it. During the era of 2G, 3G and 4G India was dependent on other countries for technology. But with 5G, India has created a new history. With 5G, India is setting a global standard in telecom technology for the first time. India is leading others. Today, every person using the Internet understands that 5G will change the entire framework of the Internet. That is why today 5G has brought a huge opportunity for the youth of India. I am glad that our country, which is moving forward with the resolve of a developed India, is walking hand in hand with the other countries of the world. This is a huge success for India, as well as for the Digital India campaign. Friends, When we talk about Digital India, some people think that it is just a government scheme. But Digital India is not just a name, it is a big vision for the development of the country. The goal of this vision is to carry that technology to the common people, which works for the people and works by connecting with the people. I still remember, when the strategy was being chalked out for this vision related to the mobile sector, I had reiterated that our approach should not be piecemeal, but holistic. For the success of Digital India, it was necessary to cover all the dimensions of this sector at once. So we focused on the 4 pillars and the four directions at once. First – cost of the device, second – digital connectivity, third – cost of data, fourth and most importantly – the idea of ‘digital first’. Friends, When it comes to the first pillar i.e. the price of the device, one thing is very clear; the cost of a device can come down only when we are self-reliant. You might remember that many people had mocked me when I had spoken of self-reliance. Till 2014, we used to import almost 100 per cent mobile phones from abroad. Hence, we decided to become self-reliant in this sector. We increased mobile manufacturing units. In 2014, there were only 2 mobile manufacturing units in the country i.e. 8 years ago there were only 2. But now their number is above 200. We gave incentives to increase the production of mobile phones in India and encouraged the private sector. Today the PLI scheme is an extension of this initiative. The results of these efforts were very positive. Today, India ranks number 2 in the world in mobile phone production. Moreover, earlier we used to import mobiles. Today we are exporting mobiles and taking them to the world. Just imagine! From exporting zero mobile phones in 2014, today we have become a country exporting mobile phones worth thousands of crores. We have become an exporting country. Naturally, all these efforts have had an impact on the cost of the device. Now we have started getting more features at a lower cost. Friends, The second pillar we worked on after the device cost is digital connectivity. You are well aware that the real strength of the communication sector lies in connectivity. The more the people connect, the better for the sector. If we talk about broadband connectivity, then in 2014 there were 6 crore users. Today their number has increased to more than 80 crores. Speaking of the number of internet connections, in 2014 there were 25 crore internet connections but today its number is reaching about 85 crores. It is also worth noting that today the number of internet users in our rural areas is increasing faster than the number of internet users in the cities. And there is a special reason for the same. In 2014, the optical fiber had reached less than 100 panchayats in the country while today optical fiber has reached more than one lakh 70 thousand panchayats. Now compare 100 with one lakh 70 thousand! Just like the government had started a campaign to provide electricity to every household, like it worked on the mission of providing clean water to everyone through the Har Ghar Jal Abhiyan, delivered gas cylinders to the poorest of the poorest people through the Ujjwala scheme and connected crores of people deprived of bank accounts to the bank through Jan Dhan Yojana, similarly, our government is working on the goal of ‘Internet for all’. Friends, With the expansion of digital connectivity, the cost of data becomes equally important. This was the third pillar of Digital India on which we worked with full force. We have removed all the hurdles coming in the way of the telecom sector. Earlier, the telecom sector had to face many difficulties due to lack of vision and lack of transparency. You are familiar with the way by which we have given policy support for the expansion of 4G technology. This led to a drastic reduction in the cost of data and the birth of a data revolution in the country. Seeing these three factors, the cost of the device, the cost of digital connectivity and data – its multiplier effect started appearing everywhere. But Friends, Besides these things, another important thing happened i.e. the idea of ‘digital first’ developed in the country. There was a time when a handful of people from the elite class , the scholarly class, used to watch some speeches of the House and mocked it. They used to think that poor people did not have the ability to go digital or they could not understand digital. They used to doubt it. They suspected that poor people would not even understand the meaning of digital. But I have always had the trust in the intellect of the common man of the country and his inquisitive mind. I have seen that even the poorest of the poor Indians are ahead in terms of adopting new technologies and let me share one experience. Probably it was the period of 2007-08 or 2009-10, I don’t clearly remember. I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat but there was one area where I had never been to. It was a tribal area and a very backward one. So, we had to organise an event there once. That area was such that there was no possibility of any major project. It was largely a forest-land. So finally a chilling centre was supposed to come up there. The chilling centre of milk was worth Rs 25 lakh. I said, “I will inaugurate it myself. It doesn’t matter if it is a Rs 25 lakh project or just a Rs 25,000 project’’. Now people feel that the Chief Minister should not be inaugurating small projects. But it doesn’t really matter to me. So I went to that village. There was no place for me to even hold a public meeting. There was a small school ground 4 km away from the place. So, a public meeting was organized there. But when we went to the chilling centre, I found the tribal mothers and sisters standing in a queue to fill milk. So when we went there and started with the inauguration programme, they placed their pots of milk down and started taking photos with their mobiles. I was surprised that people in such a remote area were clicking photos with mobiles. So I went to them and asked- “what will you do with this photo?” They said that they would ‘download’. I was really surprised to hear these words. Such is the power in the villages of our country. The poor mothers and sisters of the tribal area who had come to fill milk were taking photos from their mobile phones and they knew that they could download it. The word ‘download’ coming out of their mouths gives us an idea of their intellect and their acceptance of new things. I was in Gujarat yesterday. When I was going to visit Ambaji pilgrimage area, there were small villages on the way. More than half the people were recording videos with their mobiles. That is the strength of our country! We cannot ignore this power and only some people from the elite class of the country did not believe in our poor brothers and sisters. Eventually we managed to go ahead with the approach of ‘digital first’. The government itself went ahead and made the way for digital payments easier. The government itself has promoted citizen-centric delivery service through the app. Whether it is about farmers or small shopkeepers, we have given them a way to meet their daily needs through the app. Today you can see the result of the same. Today technology has become truly democratic. You have also seen how much our approach of ‘digital first’ has helped the people of the country during the Corona pandemic when the major developed countries of the world were struggling to help their citizens. There were rupee, dollars, pounds, euros and everything else in their treasury. They had also decided to give away funds but there was no way to reach the people. Whereas, India was transferring thousands of crores of rupees to the accounts of the citizens of my country with a single click. It was due to the power of Digital India that even when the world had come to a halt, our children were taking online classes and studying. Hospitals were faced with an extraordinary challenge, but doctors were treating their patients through tele-medicine. Offices were closed, but ‘work from home’ was going on. Today we have small traders, small entrepreneurs, local artists, artisans and Digital India has given a platform to everyone. It has opened a market. Today, if you go to the vegetable market or a local market, even a small street vendor will ask you to pay with UPI. Once I came across a video where even a beggar was taking the money digitally. Look at the Transparency! This change shows how one becomes empowered when facilities are easily accessible. Friends, The revolution that the country is witnessing in the telecom sector today is proof that if the government works with the right intention, then it does not take long to change the intentions of the citizens. This is the difference between the intention of 2G and the intention of 5G. Better late than never. India today is one of those countries in the world where data is so cheap and affordable. Earlier, where the cost of 1GB data was close to Rs 300, today the cost of 1GB data has come down to only Rs 10. Today in India, a person is using an average of 14 GB data on mobile in a month. In 2014, the cost of this 14 GB data was around Rs 4200 per month. Today, the same amount of data is available for Rs 100 or Rs 150. That is, today about Rs 4000 of the poor and the middle class is being saved every month on mobile data. With so many efforts of our government, the cost of data in India remains very low. Saving 4000 rupees every month is not a small thing, but you realised it after I told you because we never blew our own trumpet. We did not advertise. We only focused upon the convenience of the people of the country to enhance their ease of living. Friends, It is often said that India could not take advantage of the first three industrial revolutions. But I believe that India will not only take full advantage of the Fourth Industrial Revolution but will also lead it and scholars have started saying that it is not just India’s decade but this entire century belongs to India. This is not a decade but a century. We are all witnesses to the way India has leapfrogged in the world of technology after the arrival of 4G. When the citizens of India get equal opportunities in technology, then no one in the world can beat them. So today when 5G is being launched in India, I feel very confident friends. I am able to foresee the future and we will see the dreams in our hearts and minds getting fulfilled. We are the ones who are going to see it happen in front of our eyes. Coincidentally, just a few weeks back India has become the 5th largest economy in the world. And so, this is an opportunity for our youth, who with the help of 5G technology can make innovations that grab the attention of the world. This is an opportunity for our entrepreneurs who can expand and grow themselves using 5G technology. This is the opportunity for the common man of India who can use this technology to improve his skills, up-skill, re-skill and convert his ideas into reality. Friends, Today’s historic occasion has brought new inspiration for us as a nation and as citizens of India. Why don’t we use this 5G technology to accelerate India’s development at an unprecedented pace? Why don’t we use this 5G technology to expand our economy very fast? Why don’t we increase our productivity by using this 5G technology? Friends, In these questions there is an opportunity, a challenge, a dream and a resolution for every Indian. I am aware that today the class which is watching the launching of 5G with the most enthusiasm is the youth or the younger generation of my country. There are several major opportunities waiting for our telecom industry. Several new employment opportunities are going to be created. I am sure, our industry, our institutes and our youth will work together in this direction ceaselessly. I was trying to understand the exhibition which is going on for a long time. I am not so tech-savvy but I was trying to comprehend. Seeing this, I felt like informing the government to see where this could be applied and incorporated in the various departments of our government so that its impact could also be seen in the policies of the government. This exhibition is going to run for five days. I would especially urge the students of technology to come, see it, and understand the way the world is changing. Once you see it, you will notice many new things. You can also add to that. I would also like to say to the people of this telecom sector that I was very happy when I visited every stall and they said that it was Indigenous, made in a self-reliant way. Everyone was saying it with great pride. I was happy but something else was going on in my mind. I was wondering that there are various different types of cars. Each has its own brand and uniqueness. But those who deliver the spare parts for these cars belong to the MSME sector. The same factory from the same MSME makes spare parts for six types of vehicles and makes minor repair works. I felt that you were also displaying the hardware. Should the MSME sector be given work to make small parts of the hardware needed for this too? I want to create a huge ecosystem. I am not a trader or businessman. I have nothing to do with money, but I believe that this way the cost will come down at once. This is the strength of our MSME sector. You have to provide that service only by adding your uniqueness and other things like software etc. So I understand that all of you will have to work together and only then the cost will come down. There are many things that we generally do together. I have also seen that most of the youngsters who have worked in startups have been skilled-up in this field. I also wish to tell the startups to find out the number of services you can provide in this field. How many user-friendly systems can be developed? That’s the benefit of it after all. But I would like one more thing. Could your association run a movement together? How could this 5G be useful in the lives of the people in at least all the district headquarters of India? Could exhibitions educating the people be organised? Let me give a small example from my experience. It was a dream in our country to have 24 hours electricity. When I was in Gujarat I had come up with a scheme called Jyotigram Yojana and my dream was to give 24×7 electricity to every household in Gujarat. Now all my officers used to say that maybe it was not possible to do that. So I gave a simple solution. I said that we should separate the agriculture feeder and the domestic feeder. After doing that, we completed the work in each and every district. So, one job was completed. Then we would hold a major summit in that district. 2-2.5 lakh people used to attend the event because getting 24 hours electricity was an occasion of great joy! That was the period of 2003-04-05. I held an exhibition of all the works that could be accomplished with electricity and all the machines that could run on electricity. Otherwise people might have equated electricity just with being able to eat dinner at night or watching TV. But electricity could be used in various ways. So, educating about it was also necessary. But what I realised was that after the huge exhibition even the tailors would try to think about how to set up their machines with 24 hours electricity; even the potter decided the type of electric equipment he would purchase and the mothers and daughters across the country too started thinking about the electric equipments they could use in the kitchen. That is when a huge market came up and multiple utility of electricity had started. Similarly, with 5G people would start thinking of multiple uses in their lives as the videos could be downloaded pretty fast. It wouldn’t buffer for long if a person wants to watch reels. The phone doesn’t get disconnected from the internet. There can be video conferences with clear video and audio. You can make phone calls. Moreover, this is going to be a life changing system. Therefore I would ask the association of this industry to go to schools, colleges, universities and every district of India and find out the number of aspects that exist where 5G could be applied and we need to add value to the same. So this will be a service for you and this technology should not be limited to just talking or watching any video in life. It should be used to bring about a complete revolution and we have to reach 130 crore people. This won’t take much time. I had just come up with the Drone Policy. Today I have seen that in many areas they have started the work of spraying pesticides from the drone. They have learnt to operate drones and that’s why I believe we should go towards these systems. And friends, In the coming times, the country will continuously lead such technologies, which will originate in India, which will make India a global leader. With that belief, I wish you all the very best! Once again, I congratulate all the countrymen for the launch of 5G, a great medium of power, on the auspicious festival of Shakti worship. Thanks a lot!",ইণ্ডিয়া ম’বাইল কংগ্ৰেছ আৰু ভাৰতত ৫জি সেৱাৰ শুভাৰম্ভ কৰি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সম্বোধনৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-address-to-the-nation-from-ramparts-of-the-red-fort-on-the-occasion-of-76th-independence-day/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%AD%E0%A7%AC-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%B8/,"Best wishes to my dear countrymen on the momentous occasion of completion of 75 years of Independence. Many congratulations to all! It is heartening to see our tricolor being unfurled with pride, honor and glory, not only in all the corners of India, but also worldwide by Indians who love their country immensely. I extend my heartiest congratulations to all the people spread across the globe who love India. My heartfelt greetings to all my dear Indians on this Amrit Mahotsav festival of celebrating our freedom. This is a day of historic importance. This is an auspicious occasion to step forward on a new path, with a new resolution and a new strength. In the pursuit of Independence, the entire period of slavery was spent in struggle. No part of India or any time period remained untouched by the freedom struggle against several centuries of slavery and marked by people sacrificing themselves facing torutre and making supreme sacrifice. Today is an opportunity for all of us countrymen to bow down and salute all such brave hearts, the legends of every sacrifice made by every great soul. This is an opportunity to also solemnly acknowledge their debt and pledge to fulfil their dreams at the earliest with deep resolve. All the countrymen are deeply indebted to Pujya Bapu, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Veer Savarkar, who devoted all their life on the path of duty towards the nation.The path of obligation has been their sole life path. This country is grateful to Mangal Pandey, Tatya Tope, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqulla Khan, Ram Prasad Bismil and countless such revolutionaries of ours who shook the foundations of British rule. This nation is grateful to those brave women, be it Rani Lakshmibai, Jhalkari Bai, Durga Bhabhi, Rani Gaidinliu, Rani Chennamma, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Velu Nachiyar, who showed the mettle of women power of India. What is the resolve of India’s ‘Nari Shakti’? Every Indian is filled with pride while remembering the countless brave women who achieved the pinnacle of sacrifice. Today is an opportunity to pay homage to countless such great men like Dr. Rajendra Prasad ji, Nehru ji, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Deendayal Upadhyay, Jai Prakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, Acharya Vinoba Bhave, Nanaji Deshmukh, Subramania Bharati who fought the war of independence and built the country after independence. When we talk about the freedom struggle, we cannot forget to acknowledge our tribal society living in forests. There are countless names like Bhagwan Birsa Munda, Sidhu-Kanhu, Alluri Sitarama Raju, Govind Guru, who became the voice of freedom movement and inspired my tribal brothers and sisters, mothers and youth in the remotest jungles to live and die for the motherland. It has been the good fortune of the country that there have been many aspects of the freedom struggle. And one such aspect was when many such great men like Narayana Guru, Swami Vivekananda, Maharishi Aurobindo, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore kept awakening the consciousness of India in every corner and every village of India, and kept this consciousness alive. For the last year, we are witnessing how the country (is celebrating) the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’. It all began with Dandi Yatra in 2021. The people held programs in every district, every corner, of India to enlarge the scope of goals of the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ of Independence. This was perhaps for the first time in history that such a huge and comprehensive festival for a single purpose was celebrated. An attempt was made in every corner of India to remember all those great men who did not find mention in history for some reasons or who were forgotten. Today, the nation sought out all such heroes and great men, selfless, brave men from every corner of the country and paid tributes to them. It was an opportunity to pay tributes to all these great men during the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’. Yesterday on 14th August, India also remembered the deep wounds of Partition on ‘Partition Vibhishika Memorial Day’ with a heavy heart. Crores of such people had endured a lot for the glory of the tricolour. They had endured so much due to their love for the motherland and they did not lose patience. Their determination to start a new life with their love for India is inspirational and worth saluting. Today, as we are celebrating the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, it is an opportunity to recall the contributions made by those who lived and died for the country, dedicated their lives for the country during the last 75 years, those who protected the country and fulfilled the country’s resolutions; be it the army personnel, police personnel, bureaucrats, public representatives, administrators of the local self-government, state administration or central administration. Today we must also recall the contributions made by the crores of citizens of the country who have done everything possible to take the country forward despite various challenges in 75 years. My dear countrymen, This journey of 75 years has been full of ups and downs. Amidst the shadow of good and bad times our countrymen have accomplished various achievements; they have made efforts and have not given up. They didn’t let the resolutions fade away. It is true that the hundreds of years of colonial rule had inflicted deep wounds on India and the sentiments of the Indians, but the people were resilient and passionate. And that’s why, Indians managed to revive the nation despite scarcity and denigration. When the freedom struggle was in its final stages, all measures were taken to frighten, disappoint and frustrate the country. There were apprehensions that after independence when the British would leave, the country would be scattered and in shambles; people would die fighting internal wars; India would plunge into a dark age. But they were not aware that this is the soil of India. This country has the unlimited potential to survive across centuries and influence even beyond the powerful rulers. It is as a result of such immense capabilities and resilience that our nation has emerged strong despite facing innumerable adversities be it food crisis or war. We have aborted challenges hurled at us by terrorist activities which killed our innocent countrymen. We endured proxy war, natural calamities, successes and failures, hopes and despair yet remained undaunted at all such junctures. But even in the midst of these abysmal stages, India has been relentlessly progressing. India’s diversity, which others once thought was a burden to India, is proven to be the priceless power of India. A strong testimony of its power. The world was not cognizant that India has an inherent potential of strong culture and values, a bond of thoughts deeply embedded in mind and soul; and that is – India is Mother of democracy. And when those who have democracy pulsating in their minds walk with determination and resolve, it augurs doom for the most powerful sultanates of the world. This Mother of Democracy, our India has proven to all that we have this invaluable strength. My dear countrymen, In the journey of 75 years, in the midst of hopes, aspirations, ups and downs, it is with everyone’s effort that we could reach this far. And when in 2014, my countrymen gave me this responsibility, I was the first Indian born in free India, who got the privilege to sing praises of glory to my dear countrymen from the ramparts of the Red Fort. But whatever I have learned today is from all of you. I have been able to understand your happiness and sorrows. I could sense your soul calling about the hopes and aspirations you have for your country. With whatever I could embrace of your dreams, I immersed myself fully in empowering those countrymen during my tenure who were left behind and deprived from being a part of the mainstream. Be they the marginalised, outcast, exploited, victimized, deprived, tribals, women, youth, farmers, or the divyang people. From the farthest of India’s east or west, north or south, ocean beds or Himalayan peaks, I have dedicated myself to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of inclusion. I have committed myself to his vision of empowering and uplifting the person sitting at the last mile. I can see the fruition of this mission in the past eight years because of the experience gained over several decades of independence. We are embarking on the glorious years of 75 years today on Amrit Mahotsav. On the first morning of this Amrit Kaal I am filled with pride to see such an immensely endowed nation. Dear countrymen, I am witnessing the biggest fortune today that Indians have emerged as an Aspirational Society. Being an aspirational society is the biggest asset for any nation. And we are proud that today every corner of India, every section and strata of our society is brimming with aspirations. Every citizen of the country wants to change things, wants to see things change, but is not ready to wait. He wants these things to happen in front of his eyes and wants to do it as part of his duty. He wants speed, he wants progress. He is eager and excited to fulfill all the dreams cherished in 75 years before his eyes. It may cause problems to some people. Because when there is an aspirational society, then even the governments have to walk on the edge of the sword and also have to charge with the times. And I believe whether it is the central government, state governments, institutions of local self-government, no matter what kind of governance system, everyone has to address this aspirational society and we cannot wait longer for their aspirations. Our aspirational society has waited for a long time. But now they are not ready to force their future generations to live in wait and hence the first dawn of this ‘Amrit Kaal’ has brought a huge golden opportunity for us to fulfill the aspirations of that aspirational society. My dear countrymen, Recently, we have seen and experienced one such force and that is the renaissance of the collective consciousness in India. The renaissance of such collective consciousness, a nectar of so many struggles for freedom, is now being preserved and compiled. It is turning into a resolution, the culmination of effort is reckoned and the path of accomplishment is visible. I think that this awakening of consciousness, this renaissance, is our greatest asset. Look at this renaissance. Until 10th August, people would not even be aware of the power within the country. But for the last three days, the way the country has set about celebrating the journey of the Tricolour, even the leading experts of social science can’t imagine the power within my country which has been shown by the Tricolor. This is the moment of re-consciousness and renaissance. People are still to understand this. One can experience this consciousness when every corner of India comes out to observe ‘Janata Curfew’. There is a feeling of consciousness when the country stands shoulder to shoulder with the corona warriors by clapping and clanging utensils. This consciousness is felt when the country goes out to greet the corona warriors by lighting a lamp. During Corona, the world was grappling with the confusion whether to take vaccines or not or whether the vaccines are useful or not. At that time, even the poor people of my country’s villages surprised the world with the administration of 200 crore vaccine doses. This is consciousness; this is potential, which has given new strength to the country today. My dear brothers and sisters, I can see an important potential. Like an aspirational society, like renaissance the attitude of the whole world towards India has changed in the same way after so many decades of independence. The world is looking at India with pride and with anticipation. The world has started looking for solutions to the problems on the soil of India, friends. This change in the world, this change in the thinking of the world is the result of our experience and journey of the last 75 years. The world is observing the way we have started moving ahead with the resolution, and ultimately the world too is living with a new hope. The world has started realising where the power to fulfil the expectations actually lies. I see it as triple power or ‘tri-shakti’ i.e. aspiration, re-awakening and the world’s expectations. We are fully cognisant of this, today, my countrymen have a major role in awakening. 130 crore countrymen after several decades of experience have shown the world the importance of a stable government, the power of political stability, policies and how trust develops in the policies. The world too is now realising it. And now when there is political stability, dynamism in policies, speed in decision making, ubiquity and universal trust, then everyone becomes a partner in development. We started our journey with the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, but gradually the countrymen have added more colours to it with ‘Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. So, we have seen our collective power and collective potential. ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ is being celebrated with the campaign to build 75 Amrit Sarovars in every district today. People from every village are joining the campaign and offering their services. With their own efforts, the people are running a massive campaign for water conservation in their respective villages. Therefore brothers and sisters, whether it is a campaign for cleanliness or the work for the welfare of the poor, the country is moving ahead with full force today. But brothers and sisters, if we continue to glorify our 75-years of journey in the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’ and keep patting our own backs, then our dreams might be pushed far away. So, even if the past 75 years have been wonderful, full of various challenges and certain unfulfilled dreams, yet today when we are entering the ‘Azadi Ka AmritKaal’, the next 25 years are very significant for our country. And that’s why today as I am talking about the strength of 130 crore countrymen, witnessing their dreams and feeling their resolutions from the ramparts of Red Fort, I believe we must focus our attention on the ‘Panch Pran’ for the coming 25 years. You have to concentrate on your resolve and strength. And we must take up the responsibility of fulfilling all the dreams of the freedom fighters by embracing those ‘Panch Pran’ by 2047 when the country celebrates 100 years of independence. Speaking of ‘Panch Pran’, the first vow is for the country to move ahead with a big resolve. And that big resolution is of a developed India; and now we should not settle for anything less than that. Big resolution! The second Pran is that in no part of our existence, not even in the deepest corners of our mind or habits should there be any ounce of slavery. It should be nipped there itself. Now, 100 per cent this slavery of hundreds of years has kept us bound, has forced us to keep our emotions tied up, have developed distorted thinking in us. We have to liberate ourselves from the slavery mind set which is visible in innumerable things within and around us. This is our second Pran Shakti. The third Pran is that we should feel proud of our heritage and legacy. Since it is this same legacy which had given India its golden period in the past. And it is this legacy that has an innate capability of transforming itself with time. It is this rich heritage that transcends tests of tide and times. It embraces the new. And hence we should be proud of this heritage. Fourth Pran which is equally important is unity and solidarity. Amongst 130 million countrymen when there is harmony and bonhomie, unity becomes its strongest virtue. “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat” – is one of the unifying initiatives to actuate the dream of the fourth Pran. Fifth Pran is the duty of the citizens, in which even the Prime Minister, Chief Minister cannot be an exclusion as they are also responsible citizens and have a duty towards the nation. This virtue is going to be the vital life force if we want to achieve the dreams we have for the next 25 years. My dear countrymen When your dreams are big, your resolve is big, and therefore endeavours should also be bigger. Strength also adds up to a great extent. Recall the period of 40-42, it is difficult to imagine now how the country emerged from the shackles of the treacherous British rule. Some hands picked up brooms, while some chose spindles, while several chose the path towards satyagrah, some chose to struggle while many treaded the path of bravery of revolution. But the resolve of each was big- that of Freedom. Just see the power of their big goal– they achieved freedom for us. We became independent. Had their resolution would have been small and limited, we would have prolonged our days of struggle and slavery, but kudos to their indomitable spirit and big dreams, we could finally attained our freedom. My dear countrymen, As we wake up to this auspicious morning of 76th Independence, we must resolve to make India a developed nation in the next 25 years. The youth of today, all of 20-22-25 years, who I can see here shall be a witness to the glorious centennial celebrations of Independence. You will be 50-55 years old then, that means this golden period of your life, these 25-30 years of your age is the time to fulfill the dreams of India. Take a pledge and walk with me, friends, take the oath of the Tricolor and let us all join with full strength. This should be our great resolve that my country will be a developed country, we will develop a people-centric system in every parameter of development and we will have every human being and his hopes and aspirations at our center. We know that when India makes great resolutions, it also implements them. When I first spoke about cleanliness during my first speech, the entire country embraced it. Everyone moved towards cleanliness as per his capacity and there is now antipathy towards filthiness. This is the country which has done it, is doing it and will continue to do so in future also. When the world was in a dilemma, this is the country which crossed the target of 200 crore vaccinations in a time-bound manner and broke all the previous records. We are dependent on the fuel from the Gulf. We had decided how to move towards bio-oil. The 10 percent ethanol blending seemed like a very big dream. Old experiences showed that it was not possible, but the country has realized this dream of 10 percent ethanol blending before time. Brothers and sisters, Providing electricity connection to 2.5 crore people in such a short time was not a small task, but the country has done it. Today the country is rapidly providing ‘water from tap’ to the homes of lakhs of families. Freedom from open defecation has become possible in India today. My dear countrymen, Experience tells us that we can achieve our goals once we are determined. Be it the goal of renewable energy, the intention of building new medical colleges in the country or creating a workforce of doctors, the pace has increased a lot in every field. And that’s why I say that the coming 25 years should be of huge resolutions, this should be our life and this should be our pledge. The second thing that I have mentioned is the mentality of slavery and the attitude of the country. Brothers, how long will the world continue to give certificates to us? How long will we live on the certificates of the world? Shall we not set our own standards? Can a country of 130 crores not make an effort to exceed its standards? Under no circumstances should we try to look like others. It should be our temperament to grow with our own potential. We want freedom from slavery. The element of slavery should not remain in our mind even under the distant seven seas, friends. And I look with hope the way the new National Education Policy has been formulated with a lot of brainstorming, with the exchange of ideas from various people and is at the root of the country’s education policy. The skill that we have emphasized is such a power, which will give us the strength to be free from slavery. We have seen that sometimes our talent gets tied in the shackles of language. This is the result of slave mentality. We should be proud of every language of our country. We may or may not know the language, but we should be proud that it is the language of my country and it is the language given to the world by our ancestors. Friends, Today we are witnessing the structure of Digital India. We are looking at start-ups. Who are these people? This is that pool of talent who lives in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, or in villages and belongs to poor families. These are our youngsters who are coming before the world today with new discoveries. We have to give up the colonial-era mentality. Instead, we must rely on our capabilities. Secondly, we must feel proud of our heritage. Only when we connect with our land, we will be able to fly high, and when we fly high, we will be able to provide solutions to the world too. We have seen the impact when we take pride in our heritage and culture. Today the world is talking about holistic health care. But when it talks about holistic health care, it looks towards India’s yoga, India’s Ayurveda and India’s holistic lifestyle. This is our legacy that we are providing the world with. The world is being influenced by it today. Now look at our strength. We are the people who know how to live with nature. We know how to love nature. Today the world is facing environment related problems. We have that legacy and the solutions to the problems of global warming. Our ancestors have given us the same. When we talk about an environment-friendly lifestyle and LIFE mission, we attract the attention of the world. We have this power. Coarse paddy and millets are household items. This is our heritage. Due to the hard work of our small farmers paddy flourished on small pieces of land. Today the world is moving ahead to celebrate the millet year at the international level. That means our heritage is being appreciated around the world today. Let us learn to be proud of it. We have a lot to offer to the world. When it comes to social stress, people talk of our family values; whenever it comes to personal stress, people talk of yoga. When it comes to collective tension, the people talk of the family system of India. The joint family system is an asset. Due to the sacrifices made by our mothers and sisters over the centuries, the ‘joint family system’ has evolved as a legacy. This is our legacy. How can we not be proud of this heritage? We are those people who see Shiva in every living being. We are those people who see Lord Narayana in every man. We are people who call women ‘Narayani’. We are people who see the divine in the plants. We are the people who consider the rivers as mother. We are those people who see Shankar in every stone. This is our power. It is our potential to see every river as a form of mother. Such enormity of the environment is our pride! When we are proud of such heritage, the world too will feel proud of it. Brothers and sisters, We are the people who have given the world the mantra of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”. We are the people who believe in “Ekam Sadvipra Bahudha Vadanti”. In the period of ‘holier than thou’ mentality, today the world is facing a severe crisis due to conflicts caused by the attitude of one upmanship- the reason for all tensions. We have the wisdom to resolve this. Our scholars have said “Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti” meaning that absolute Truth is one but it is manifested differently. This is our glory. We are the ones who say “yat pinde tat brahmande”, such a wise thought that Whatever is in the universe is in every living being. We were the proponents of such human values. We are the people who have seen the welfare of the world; we have been on the path of collective good and individual good, not only for our people but the whole world by believing in “sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ”. It is ingrained in our values that we will pray that may all be prosperous and happy, may all be free from illness, may all see what is auspicious, and may no one suffer. It is our heritage to care for the happiness and good health of all. Hence, we should learn to honour and feel proud of our heritage and value system. It is the strength of our resolve that will be crucial in achieving the dreams in the next 25 years. In the same way, my dear countrymen, Another very important issue is Unity and solidarity. We need to celebrate the diversity of our huge country. The peaceful co-existence of innumerable traditions and creeds are our pride. For us all are equal. No one is inferior or superior; all are our own. This feeling of oneness is important for unity. The foundations of unity can be laid in every home only if son and daughter enjoy equality. If the family seeds gender discrimination across its generations then the spirit of Unity can never be woven in society. Gender equality is our first stipulation. When we talk of Unity, why not have only one parameter or standard-that of India First. All my endeavours, everything that I am thinking, saying, envisioning or visualising is in accordance with India First. This way the path to Unity can be opened for all of us my friend. This is the mantra we need to embrace to bind all of us in oneness. I have full faith that we can thus diminish the discrimination prevalent in our society. We endorse the value of Shramev Jayate which means that it should be in our nature to respect the labourer. But my brothers and sisters From the ramparts of Red Fort, I also want to share one of my enduring pains. I cannot hold myself from expressing my pain. I am mindful that it may not befit the podium of the Red Fort. But I will still express my deepest feelings of agony to my countrymen. If I do not open up in front of the countrymen, then where will I say it after all? What I wish to share is that it hurts me to say that we have witnessed a perversion in our day-to-day speaking, behavior. We have been casually using language and words that are insulting to women. Can we not pledge to get rid of everything in our behavior, culture and everyday life that humiliates and demeans women? Women’s pride is going to be a huge asset in fulfilling the dreams of the nation. I see this power and therefore I am insistent on it. Dear countrymen, I will now talk about the fifth life force – pran which is the duties of citizens. While trying to understand all the countries in the world that have made progress; every country that has achieved something, even in personal life, few things emerged. One is disciplined life, and the other is devotion to duty. There should be success in the life of the individual, of the society, of the family, of the nation. This is the fundamental path and the fundamental vital force. It is the job of the government to make efforts to provide 24 hours electricity but it is the duty of the citizen to save as many units as he can. It is the responsibility and efforts of the government to supply water to every field, but a voice should come from each of my fields that we will move forward by saving water by focusing on ‘per drop more crop’. It is our duty to do chemical free farming, organic farming and natural farming. Friends, whether it is police or people, ruler or administrator, no one can be untouched by this civic duty. If everyone performs the duties of a citizen, I am sure that we can achieve the desired goals ahead of time. My dear countrymen, Today is also the birth anniversary of Maharishi Aurobindo. I bow at the feet of that great man. But we need to remember the great man who gave a call for ‘Swadeshi to Swaraj’ and ‘Swaraj to Suraj’. This is his mantra. We all need to think how long we will be dependent on other people of the world. Can we outsource when our country needs food grains? When the country decided that we will meet our food requirements, did the country demonstrate it or not? Once we take a resolution, it is possible. And, therefore, ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’ becomes the responsibility of every citizen, every government and every unit of society. ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’ is not a government agenda or a government programme. This is a mass movement of society, which we have to take forward. My friends, today we heard this sound after 75 years of independence for which our ears were yearning to hear. For the first time after 75 years, the Made in India cannon has saluted the Tricolour from the Red Fort. Will there be any Indian who will not be inspired by this sound? My dear brothers and sisters, today I want to congratulate the soldiers of the army of my country from my heart. I salute the way the army jawans have shouldered this responsibility of self-reliance in an organized way and with courage. The soldier of the army carries death in his hands. He stands firmly in the middle when there is no gap between death and life. The resolution of our country is not small when the armed forces make a list and decide not to import 300 defence products. In this resolution, I can see the seed of a bright future of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ that will convert this dream into a banyan tree. Salute! Salute! Salute to my army officers! I also want to salute the little children between 5 and 7 years of age. The nation’s consciousness has been awakened. I have heard from countless families that 5-7 year old children tell their parents that they do not want to play with foreign toys. When a 5-year-old child makes such a resolution, it reflects the spirit of self-reliant India in him. Speaking of the PLI scheme, one lakh crore rupees, people from around the world are coming to India to try their luck. They are bringing new technology along with them. They are generating new employment opportunities. India is becoming a manufacturing hub. It is building a foundation for a Self-reliant India. Be it manufacturing of electronic goods or mobile phones, today the country is progressing at a very fast pace. Which Indian wouldn’t be proud when our Brahmos is exported to the world? Today the Vande Bharat train and our metro coaches are becoming objects of attraction for the world. My dear countrymen, We have to become self-reliant in the energy sector. How long will we be dependent on others in the field of energy? We should be self-reliant in the fields of solar energy, wind energy, and various other renewable energy sources like Mission Hydrogen, bio fuel and electric vehicles. My dear countrymen, Today natural farming is also a way of becoming self-reliant. Today the factories of Nano Fertilizer have brought a new hope in the country. But natural farming and chemical-free farming can give a boost to self-reliance. Today, new employment opportunities in the form of green jobs are opening up very fast in the country. India has opened up ‘space’ through its policies. India has come up with the most progressive policy regarding drones in the world. We have opened up new doors of opportunities for the youth of the country. My dear brothers and sisters, I also call upon the private sector to come forward. We have to dominate the world. One of the dreams of a self-reliant India is to ensure that India does not lag behind in fulfilling the needs of the world. Even if it is the MSMEs we have to take our products to the world with ‘Zero Defect – Zero Effect’. We have to be proud of Swadeshi. My dear Countrymen, Till today we always remember our revered Lal Bahadur Shastri ji for his inspirational clarion call of Jai Jawan Jai Kisan meaning “Hail the Soldier, Hail the Farmer”. Later Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji added a new link of Jai Vigyan which meant “hail science” and we gave it utmost importance. But in this new phase Amrit Kaal now it is imperative to add jai anusandhaan that is “hail innovation”. Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Jai Vigyan Jai Anusandhaan. I repose my utmost faith in our youth of the nation. Witness the power of indegenious innovations. Today we have many success stories to show to the world – UPI-BHIM, our digital payment, our compelling position in the domain of Fintech. Today in the world, 40 percent of real time digital financial transactions are happening in my country. India has shown innovation prowess to the world. My dear Countrymen, Today we are all set to enter the 5G era. You don’t have to wait too long before we match the global steps. We are ensuring that optical fiber reaches each and every village until the last mile. I am fully informed that the dream of Digital India will be attained through rural India. Today I am happy that four lakh Common Service Centers of India are being developed in villages which are being managed by the youth of that village. Nation can take pride in the fact that four lakh Digital Entrepreneurs are being nurtured in the villages, and the rural population is becoming accustomed to benefit from all the services. Such is the power of India to become a technology hub in itself. My dear countrymen, This Digital India movement of developing semiconductors, entering the 5G era, spreading the network of optical fibres is not just to establish ourselves as modern and developed, but it is possible because of three intrinsic missions. The complete transformation of the education ecosystem, revolution in health infrastructure and improvement in the quality of agricultural life will be possible only through digitalisation. Friends, I can foresee that India will march ahead phenomenally in this decade which is hailed as the techade for humanity. It is a decade of technology. In the field of IT india has become a force to reckon with globally. We have the competencies to contribute in this techade. Our Atal Innovation Mission, our incubation centres, our startups are developing a whole new sector, opening up new opportunities for the younger generation. Whether it is a matter of space mission, whether it is about our Deep Ocean Mission, whether we want to go deep into the ocean or we have to touch the sky, these are new areas, by which we are moving forward. My dear countrymen, Let us not forget this and India has seen this for centuries, while some model works are needed in the country, some great heights must be achieved, but at the same time we should remain rooted and grounded while accomplishing heights as a nation. Potential of the economic advancement of India is dependent on the strength of the grassroot. Hence, we must acknowledge and strengthen the potential of our small farmers, entrepreneurs, small and medium sized enterprises, cottage industries, micro industries, street vendors, domestic labourers, daily wagers, auto rickshaw drivers, bus service providers etc. These form the largest population who need to be empowered. Being able to do so shall guarantee India’s potential and therefore our efforts are going in the direction of giving maximum emphasis to this strata which is the fundamental grass root force of our economic development. My dear Countrymen We have 75 years of experience, and we have also achieved many accomplishments in these 75 years. We have cherished new dreams and taken new resolutions in 75 years of experience. But, what should be the optimum outcome of our human resources for the ‘Amrit Kaal? How to get the optimum outcome of our natural wealth? We have to move forward with this goal. I want to say something from the experience of the last few years. You must have seen the power of ‘Nari Shakti’ in courts who are working in the field of Law. Look at the public representatives in the rural area. Our ‘Nari Shakti’ is devotedly engaged in solving the problems of our villages. Look at the field of knowledge or science, the ‘Nari Shakti’ of our country is visible right at the top. Even in the police force, our ‘Nari Shakti’ is taking the responsibility of protecting the people. In every walk of life, whether it is the playground or the battlefield, the ‘Nari Shakti’ of India is coming forward with a new strength and a new belief. I can see the manifold contribution of ‘Nari Shakti’, my mothers, sisters and daughters, in the next 25 years compared to the contribution in the last 75 years of India’s journey. And hence, it is beyond assessment. Everything is beyond your parameters. The more we pay attention to this aspect, the more opportunities and facilities we provide to our daughters, they will return us much more than that. They will take the country to a new height. If the considerable efforts of our ‘Nari Shakti’ are added to the hard work that is required to fulfill the dreams in this ‘Amrit Kaal’, then it will take less hard work and our time limit will also be reduced. Our dreams will be more intense, vivacious and resplendent. Therefore, friends, let’s move ahead with our responsibilities. Today I also want to thank the framers of the Constitution of India for giving us the federal structure. Our dreams are bound to be realized if we walk shoulder to shoulder by maintaining this spirit and respecting its sentiments in this ‘Amrit Kaal’. Programs may differ, working styles may differ, but resolutions can’t differ, dreams for a nation cannot be different. Let us move towards such an era. I remember the government at the Centre did not belong to our ideology when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. But I used to follow the same mantra that the progress of Gujarat is for the progress of India. India’s progress should be at the core of our heart wherever we are. There are many states of our country, which have played a great role in taking the country forward, have led and worked as examples in many fields. This gives strength to our federalism. But today the need of the hour is that we need cooperative federalism as well as cooperative competitive federalism. We need competition for development. Every state should feel that it is moving ahead, that it will race ahead by toiling hard. If a particular state has done 10 good tasks, others shall do 15 good tasks. If a state has completed a job in three years, others should complete the same job in two years. There should be an atmosphere of competition between the states and all the units of the government which should strive to take us to new peaks of development. My dear countrymen, When we talk of the 25 years of Amrit Kaal, I know that there would be many challenges, limitations and problems. We do not underestimate these. We keep on looking for ways and are constantly striving but I wish to discuss two things here. There may be many issues to discuss but considering the time constraint, I would like to talk about two things right now. And I believe that because of all these challenges and problems if we do not take corrective steps while there is still time during 25 years of ‘Amrit Kaal’, then it could take a turn for the worse. So, I do not want to discuss everything but would definitely want to focus on two issues. One is corruption and the other is nepotism and the dynasty system. In a democracy like India where people are struggling with poverty and do not have a place to live, there are people who do not have a place to keep their ill-gotten money. This is not an ideal situation. So we have to fight against corruption with all our might. In the last eight years, we have been successful in working for the betterment of the country by saving two lakh crore rupees which used to go into the wrong hands, using all the modern systems like Direct Benefit Transfer, Aadhaar and Mobile. Those who fled the country after looting banks during the tenure of the previous government, we have seized their property and are trying to get them back. Some have been forced to go behind the bars. We are trying to ensure that those who looted the country are compelled to return. Brothers and sisters, I can clearly see that we are entering a crucial period against corruption. Even the big ones will not be able to escape. With this spirit, India is now stepping into a decisive period against corruption. And I am saying this with a great responsibility from the ramparts of the Red Fort. Brothers and sisters, the corrupt are eating away the country like termites. I have to fight against it, intensify the fight and have to take it to a decisive point. So, my 130 crore countrymen, please bless me and support me! Today I have come to seek your support and cooperation so that I can fight this battle. I hope the country becomes victorious in this war. The lives of the ordinary citizens have been ruined by corruption. So, I want to make sure that the ordinary citizens are once again able to live with dignity. My dear countrymen, it is a matter of great concern that although abhorrence of corruption in the country is visible and expressed, sometimes the generosity towards the corrupt is shown which is not acceptable in any country. And many people have gone so shameless that despite being convicted in court, having been proved corrupt, having been sentenced for imprisonment, while still serving in jail, they continue to glorify, take pride and continue to elevate their status. Unless there is hatred towards filth in the society, the consciousness for cleanliness does not arise, unless we develop hatred towards the corrupt and corruption, until we relegate these people to social shaming, such mentality will not change. And that’s why we need to be very aware of corruption and corrupt people. Another point to highlight is rampant nepotism. And whenever I talk about nepotism or dynasty, people think I am talking only in the context of politics. Not at all. Unfortunately, it is being nourished in other Indian institutions as well. Family bias Nepotism has gripped many of our institutions today. This is sadly harming the immense talent pool of our country. The future potential of my country is suffering. Those who are legitimate contenders of these opportunities and are genuinely eligible get sidelined due to nepotism. This is a good reason for corruption. Since they feel that they stand no chance to avail opportunities as per norms, these potential and deserving candidates resort to paying bribes to get a job. All of us have to work hard on fighting Nepotism by becoming more aware and creating an antipathy for this. Only such efforts can save our institutions and ingrain ethical behaviour in our future generations. This is mandatory to ensure a bright future of our institutions. Similarly, in politics too, family bias or dynasty has done the most injustice to the country’s strength. It becomes a way to benefit only the family and has no connection towards the national good. And therefore, while remembering the Constitution of India, standing under the tricolor from the ramparts of the Red Fort, I want to say with an open heart to all the countrymen- let us all join hands for the purification and cleansing of Indian politics and for the cleansing of all the institutions of India, we have to liberate the country from this family mentality and move towards taking the country forward on the basis of merit. It is more imperative now than ever. Otherwise, everyone will carry heavy resentment that s/he was deserving but could not succeed as there was no family member vouching for them in the ecosystem. Such a mentality is not good for any country. Dear youth of my country, for your bright future, for your dreams, I seek your support in the fight against nepotism. I want your support in the fight against dynastic politics. I consider this as my constitutional responsibility. The responsibility of a democracy. I believe in the power of words spoken from the ramparts of this Red Fort. And hence I request you to support this opportunity. We have noticed this in the accolades we received at the sports world in the last few days. It’s not that we did not have such great talent in the past. It is not that our sons and daughters, the youth of India, are not achieving anything in the world of sports. But sadly they have been pushed out due to the nepotism channel. The ones that qualified to reach the competition in other countries were least bothered about winning medals for the country. But when transparency was reinstated, selection was on the merit of the sportsperson and the talent was honoured on the playgrounds. It is a moment of pride today to see the tricolor flying high and the national anthem reverberating at the stadiums globally. One feels proud when there is freedom from dynasty and nepotism, and such results come along. My dear countrymen, there are many challenges no doubt. But if there are crores of problems before this country, then there are also crores of solutions and I have faith in 130 crore countrymen. When 130 crore countrymen take one step ahead with a set goal and the commitment to resolve, India moves 130 steps forward. We have to move forward with this capability. This is the first dawn of the ‘Amrit Kaal’ and we should not forget a single moment for the next 25 years. To live for the motherland each day, every moment of time and every particle of life will be our true tribute to the freedom fighters. Only then, the virtuous remembrance of all those who contributed in taking the country to this point in the last 75 years will be of use. I urge the countrymen to start the ‘Amrit Kaal’ today by nurturing new possibilities, realizing new resolutions and moving ahead with confidence. The ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ of freedom has turned in the direction of ‘Amrit Kaal’ and, therefore, ‘Sabka Prayas’ is necessary in this ‘Amrit Kaal’. ‘Sabka Prayas’ is going to yield this result. The spirit of Team India is going to take the country forward. This Team India of 130 crore countrymen will realize all the dreams by moving forward as a team. With this belief, speak with me, Jai Hind! Jai Hind! Jai Hind! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram! Thanks a lot!",৭৬ সংখ্যক স্বাধীনতা দিৱস উপলক্ষে লালকিল্লাৰ দূৰ্গৰ পৰা ৰাষ্ট্ৰবাসীক উদ্দেশ্যি প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-extends-his-greetings-on-odisha-formation-day-utkal-divas/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%93%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%89/,"Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi greeted people of Odisha on the occasion of its formation day today.

The Prime Minister expressed delight at the support that has been showered upon India for taking up the Mission LiFE initiative and thanked the heads of all nations for sending in their congratulatory messages on this gracious occasion. Highlighting the importance of unity in the fight against climate change, Shri Modi said that the launch of Mission LiFE is taking place before the Statue of Unity, a colossal statue of the pride of India, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel. “The world’s largest statue will be a source of inspiration in achieving the set targets”, he said. “When the standards are exceptional, the records are huge”, the Prime Minister remarked. Highlighting the significance of the launch taking place in Gujarat, the Prime Minister informed that Gujarat was the first state in the country to initiate steps in the direction of renewable energy and climate protection. Be it installing solar panels on canals or initiating water conservation projects for the drought-affected areas of the state, Gujarat has always come forward as a leader and a trendsetter. The Prime Minister pointed towards the prevailing notion that climate change is an issue only related to policy that leads to a thought process that leaves this all-important issue only to the government or international organisations. He said that people are experiencing the effects of climate change in their surroundings, and in the last few decades unexpected calamities were witnessed. This is making it amply clear that Climate change goes beyond only policy-making and people themselves are finding that they should contribute as an individual, families and as communities to the environment. The Prime Minister remarked, “The mantra of Mission Life is ‘Lifestyle For Environment’. Emphasising the benefits of Mission LiFE, the Prime Minister said that it connects the powers of the people for the protection of this earth, and teaches them to utilise it in a better way. He underlined that Mission LiFE makes the fight against climate change democratic, in which everyone can contribute within their capacity. “Mission LiFE inspires us to do all that can be done in our everyday life to protect the environment. Mission LiFE believes that the environment can be protected by making changes in our lifestyle”, the Prime Minister said. He gave the example of the adoption of LED bulbs in India for reducing electricity bills and protecting the environment. “This led to massive savings and environmental benefits and this is a recurring permanent benefit”, the Prime Minister added. Noting that Gujarat is the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, the Prime Minister said “He was one of those thinkers who long ago understood the importance of environmental protection and living life in harmony with nature. He developed the concept of trusteeship. Mission LiFE makes us all trustees of the environment. A trustee is someone who does not allow indiscriminate use of resources. A trustee works as a nurturer and not as an exploiter” The Prime Minister elaborated that Mission LiFE emboldens the spirit of the P3 model i.e. Pro Planet People. Mission Life, unites the people of the earth as pro planet people, uniting them all in their thoughts. It functions on the basic principles of ‘Lifestyle of the planet, for the planet and by the planet’. The Prime Minister remarked that the way to the future can only be paved by learning from the mistakes of the past. He recalled that India has had a tradition of worshipping nature for thousands of years. The Vedas precisely mention the importance of elements of nature like water, earth, land, fire and water. The Prime Minister quoted the Atharvaveda and recited, “‘Mata Bhumiah Putroham Prithivyah’ that is, the earth is our mother and we are her children.” The Prime Minister threw light on the concept of ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ and circular economy and mentioned that it has been a part of the lifestyle of Indians for thousands of years. Speaking of other parts of the world, the Prime Minister said that such practices are prevalent, which inspire us to walk in harmony with nature. “Mission LiFE will encompass every lifestyle related to the conservation of nature, which our ancestors adopted, and that can be made a part of our lifestyle today”, he said. India is committed to tackling the menace of climate change. Today, the Prime Minister informed, “The annual per capita carbon footprint in India is only about 1.5 tonnes, compared to the world average of 4 tonnes per year.” Nevertheless, India is working at the forefront to solve global problems like climate change. Shri Modi talked about the initiatives like Ujjwala Yojana, 75 ‘Amrit Sarovars’ in every district and unprecedented emphasis on waste to wealth. Today India has the fourth largest capacity for renewable energy in the world. “Today we are ranked fourth in wind energy and fifth in solar energy. India’s renewable energy capacity has increased by about 290 percent in the last 7-8 years. We have also achieved the target of achieving 40 percent of the electric capacity from non-fossil-fuel sources 9 years ahead of the deadline. We had also achieved a target of 10 percent ethanol blending in petrol, and that too 5 months before the deadline. Through the National Hydrogen Mission, India has moved towards an environment-friendly energy source. This will help India and many countries of the world to achieve their goal of net zero”, the Prime Minister added. India has become a prime example of how progress and nature can go hand in hand. Now that India has also become the fifth largest economy in the world, our forest area is also increasing and the number of wildlife is also increasing, he said. Highlighting the global campaign of One Sun, One World, One Grid, the Prime Minister remarked that India now wants to increase its partnership with the world even more while strengthening its resolve towards such goals. “By leading the creation of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, India has conveyed its concept towards environmental protection to the world. Mission LiFE is the next step in this series.”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister noted the fact that whenever India and the United Nations have worked together, new ways of making the world a better place have been found. The Prime Minister said, “India had proposed the International Day of Yoga, which was supported by the United Nations. Today it is inspiring millions of people around the world to lead a healthy life.” Giving the example of the International Year of Millets which found profound support for the United Nations, the Prime Minister remarked that India wanted to connect the world with its traditional and eco-friendly, coarse cereals. He said that the International Year of Millets next year will be discussed all over the world. He added, “Mission LiFE will be successful in taking it to every corner of the world, to every country.” “We have to remember this mantra – Prakriti Rakshati Rakshita, that is, those who protect nature, nature protects them. I believe we will build a better world by following our Mission LiFE” the Prime Minister concluded. UN Secretary-General, H.E. Mr Antonio Guterres said that in these perilous times for our planet, we need all hands on deck. Lifestyle For Environment -LiFE initiative is designed to highlight essential and hopeful truths. All of us, individuals and communities, can and must be part of the solution of protecting our planet and our collective futures. After all, over-consumption is at the root of the triple planet emergency of climate, change, biodiversity loss and pollution. We are using the equivalent of 1.6 planet earth to support our lifestyle. This great excess is compounded by the great inequality, he said. He hoped that initiatives of the LiFE movement spread throughout the world. “I am immensely encouraged by the commitment that India has made to pursue environmentally sound policies and its pledge to significantly increase investment in renewable energy, championing International Solar Alliance…..we need to unleash the renewable revolution and I look forward to working with India in driving this agenda forward.” Talking about the upcoming CoP 27 in Egypt, the Secretary-General said that the conference presents a key political opportunity to reveal trust and accelerate action across all the pillars of the Paris agreement. “With its vulnerability to climate impacts and its massive economy, India can play a critical bridging role”, he said. Quoting Mahatma Gandhi, Mr Guterres said, “The world has enough for everyone’s needs but not everyone’s greed.” He further added that we must treat the earth’s resources with wisdom and respect. The UN Secretary-General pledged to alter the economies and lifestyles so we are able to share earth’s resources fairly and only take what we need. He also urged everyone to count on India as it assumes G20 Presidency to help usher in a new era of sustainability, fully in line with its history, its culture and its tradition.” Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister of External Affairs, Shri Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and UN Secretary-General, H.E. Mr Antonio Guterres were those present on the occasion among others. Background Mission LiFE aims at following a three-pronged strategy for changing our collective approach towards sustainability. First is by nudging individuals to practise simple yet effective environment-friendly actions in their daily lives (demand); second is by enabling industries and markets to respond swiftly to the changing demand (supply) and; third is to influence government and industrial policy to support both sustainable consumption and production (policy).",প্রধানমন্ত্রীয়ে গুজৰাটৰ কেভাডিয়াত একতা নগৰত স্ট্যাচু অফ ইউনিটিত মিছন লাইফৰ সূচনা কৰিছ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-goes-for-darshan-and-pooja-at-ambaji-temple-gujarat/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%A6/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today went to Ambaji temple, one of the 51 Shakti Peeths, in Gujarat and performed darshan and pooja.

To further enhance the scope, coverage and outreach of the Scheme, the Cabinet has approved the following: • increasing the carpet area in the MIG I category of CLSS from the existing 90 square metre to “up to 120 square metre” and increasing the carpet area in respect of MIG II category of CLSS from the existing 110 square metre to “up to 150 square metre”; and • making the above change effective from 01.01.2017 i.e. the date the CLSS for MIG had become effective. The CLSS for MIG is a pro-active step in meeting the challenges of urban housing shortage. It also is a pioneering step to enable the Middle Income Group to access the benefits of an interest subsidy scheme. The CLSS for MIG covers two income segments in the MIG viz. Rs.6,00,001 to Rs.12,00,000 (MIG-I) and Rs.12,00,001 to Rs.18,00,000 (MIG-II) per annum. In the MIG-1, an interest subsidy of 4% has been provided for loan amounts up to Rs.9 lakh while in MIG-2, an interest subsidy of 3% has been provided for loan amount of Rs.12 lakh. The interest subsidy will be calculated at 9% NPV over a maximum loan tenure of 20 years or the actual tenure, whichever is lesser. Housing loans above 9 lakh and 12 lakh will be at non-subsidized rates. The CLSS for MIG is currently effective up to 31.03.2019. Impact: • The limit of 120 sq m. and 150 sq m. is seen as a reasonable enhancement and would cater to the market generally scouted by the MIG belonging to the two income categories specified in the scheme. • The increase in carpet area will enable the Ml category of individuals to have a wider choice in Developers’ projects. • The increased carpet area will also give a boost to the sale of ready built flats in the affordable housing segment. Background: Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is implementing the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme for Middle Income Group (CLSS for MIG) under the Pradhan MantriAwasYojana (Urban) since 1.01.2017 pursuant to Hon’ble Prime Minister’s address to the Nation on 31.12.2016 announcing increased benefits for poor people availing housing loans, and a new interest subsidy scheme for housing loans for the Middle Income Group (MIG).",প্রধানমন্ত্রী আৱাস যোজনাত মধ্যবিত্ত শ্ৰেণীৰ বাবে ক্রেডিট লিংকযুক্ত ৰাজসাহাৰ্য আঁচনিৰ অধীনত সুদৰ ৰাজসাহাৰ্যযোগ্য ঘৰৰ কার্পেট এলেকা বৃদ্ধিত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-fellow-citizens-on-crossing-the-150-crore-milestone-of-covid-vaccination-drive/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A1-%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A3-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AB/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated fellow citizens on crossing the 150 crore milestone of Covid vaccination drive.

These cancer Hospitals are built at Dibrugarh, Kokrajhar, Barpeta, Darrang, Tezpur, Lakhimpur, and Jorhat. Dibrugarh Hospital was dedicated to nation by the Prime Minister earlier in the day when he visited the premises of the new hospital. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of seven new cancer hospitals at Dhubri, Nalbari, Goalpara, Nagaon, Sivasagar, Tinsukia and Golaghat to be constructed under phase 2 of the project. Governor of Assam Shri Jagdish Mukhi, Chief Minister of Assam Shri Himanta Biswa Sarma, Union Minister Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Shri Rameswar Teli, Former CJI and Rajya Sabha member, Shri Ranjan Gogoi and noted industrialist Shri Ratan Tata were among those present on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister started by acknowledging the festive spirit of the season and paid homage to the great sons and daughters of Assam. The Prime Minister said that Cancer hospitals in Assam that were dedicated to nation today and the ones for which foundation stone was laid today, will augment healthcare capacities in Northeast as well as South Asia. Acknowledging that cancer has been a big problem not only in Assam but also in the North East, the Prime Minister said “our poorest, middle class families are the most affected by this”. For the treatment of cancer, till a few years ago, the patients here had to go to big cities which led to financial burden on poor and middle-class families. The Prime Minister complimented the Assam Chief Minister Shri Sarma and Union Minister Shri Sonowal and Tata Trust for taking many steps to address this long pending problem in Assam. Prime Minister Modi said that this year’s Budget’s has envisaged a 1500 crore rupees scheme Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North-East (PM-DeVINE). Under the scheme too, cancer treatment is a focus area and a facility is proposed for Guwahati also. Elaborating on the government’s vision for the healthcare sector, the Prime Minister talked about ‘Swasthya ke Saptrishisi’. The effort of the government is that disease itself does not arise. “That’s why our government has given a lot of emphasis on Preventive Healthcare. The yoga, fitness related programs are going on for this reason”, he said. Second, if the disease occurs, it should be known in the early stages. For this, lakhs of new testing centers are being built across the country. The third focus is that people should have better first aid facilities near their homes. For this primary health centers are being improved. The fourth effort is that the poor should get free treatment in the best hospital. For this, under schemes like Ayushman Bharat, free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh is being given by the Government of India. Our fifth focus is to minimize the dependence on big cities for good treatment. For this, our government is making unprecedented investments on health infrastructure. The Prime Minister explained that “before 2014, there were only 7 AIIMS in the country. Out of these, except one in Delhi, there was no MBBS course or OPD, some of them were incomplete even. We rectified all these and declared 16 new AIIMS in the country. AIIMS Guwahati is also one of them.” On the sixth point of the vision the Prime Minister said “our government is addressing the shortfall in the number of doctors. In the last seven years, more than 70 thousand new seats have been added for MBBS and PG. Our government is also treating more than 5 lakh Ayush doctors at par with allopathic doctors.” The seventh focus of the government is digitization of health services. The effort of the government is to get rid of long lines for treatment, to get rid of the problems in the name of treatment. For this many schemes have been implemented, Shri Modi added. Prime Minister Modi emphasized “the effort is that the citizens of the whole country can get the benefits of the schemes of the central government, anywhere in the country, there should be no restriction for that. This is the spirit of One Nation, One Health. This spirit gave strength to the country even in the biggest epidemic of 100 years, gave strength to deal with the challenge.” The Prime Minister said that exorbitant cost of cancer treatment was a big barrier in the mind of people. Women particularly, avoided treatment as it had the potential of pushing family into debt and penury. Government is making cancer drugs affordable by reducing the cost of many medicines to almost half, saving at least 1000 crore rupees of the patients. More than 900 medicines are now available at affordable rates in Jan Aushadhi Kendras. Under Ayushman Bharat Schemes many beneficiaries are cancer patients. The Prime Minister said Ayushman Bharat and Wellness centers are ensuring early detection of cancer cases. More than 15 crore people have undergone cancer screening in Wellness centres in Assam and other parts of the country. The Prime Minister appreciated the Assam Government for improving medical infrastructure in the state. The Chief Minister and his team is working to admirably to implement national pledge of a medical college in every district, Prime Minister Modi said. He reiterated central government’s commitment to ensure all facilities from oxygen to ventilators in Assam. Shri Modi asked everyone to get vaccinated as the government has expanded the ambit of vaccination by approving vaccination of children and precaution doses for adults. The Central and Assam Government are working sincerely to give a better life to lakhs of families working in tea gardens. From free ration to the facilities available under the Har Ghar Jal Yojana, the Assam government is reaching the families in tea gardens rapidly, the Prime Minister informed. The Prime Minister dwelled on the changed notion of people’s welfare. Today, scope of public welfare has been expanded. Earlier, only some subsidies were seen to be linked to public welfare. Projects of infrastructure, connectivity were not seen to be linked with welfare. Whereas, in the absence of connectivity, delivery of public services was very difficult. Now the country is moving ahead leaving behind the concepts of last century. In Assam, road, rail and air network expansion is visible, creating new opportunities for poor, youth, women, children, deprived and tribal communities. We are pushing the development of Assam and the country with the spirit of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas, the Prime Minister concluded. Assam Cancer Care Foundation, a joint venture of Government of Assam and Tata Trusts, is executing a project to build South Asia’s largest affordable cancer care network with 17 Cancer care hospitals spread across the state. Under the Phase 1 of the project, out of 10 hospitals, the construction of seven hospitals have been completed while three hospitals are at various level of construction. Phase 2 of the project will witness construction of seven new cancer hospitals.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে সাতখন কৰ্কট ৰোগ চিকিৎসালয় দেশবাসীলৈ উৎসৰ্গা কৰে আৰু সমগ্ৰ অসমত সাতখন নতুন কৰ্কট চিকিৎসালয়ৰ আধাৰশিলা স্থাপন কৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-attends-farewell-function-of-vice-president-shri-m-venkaiah-naidu-at-balayogi-auditorium/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%AA-%E0%A7%B0/,"“Venkaiah ji’s quality of always staying active and engaged will keep him connected to public life for a long time to come” “We should always try to fulfil the expectations that he has from all the Parliamentarians” “Initiatives like ‘Bhashini’ and annual compendium of new words emerging from Parliamentary debates will carry forward Venkaiah ji’s legacy of love for the mother tongue” The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi attended a farewell function for the Vice President Shri M.

Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister paid floral tributes to the statues of saint poet Sri Kanaka Dasa and Maharshi Valmiki at Vidhana Soudha. He also flagged off Vande Bharat Express and Bharat Gaurav Kashi Darshan Train at KSR Railway Station. This was followed by the Prime Minister inaugurating Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru and unveiling a 108-metre-long bronze statue of Sri Nadaprabhu Kempegowda. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister expressed delight to be present in Karnataka on the occasion of the Jayanti of two great personalities of Karnataka. He paid tributes to Sant Kanaka Das and Onake Obavva. The Prime Minister said that today Karnataka got the first ‘made in India’ Vande Bharat Train that connects Chennai, Startup capital Bengaluru and heritage city Mysuru. “Today Bharat Gaurav Kashi Darshan Train, which will enable Ayodhya, Kashi and Prayagraj Darshan for the people of Karnataka, was also launched”, he said. Speaking about the Terminal 2 of Kemepgowda International Airport in Bengaluru, the Prime Minister remarked that the infrastructure is more beautiful and magnificent than the pictures shared yesterday. The Prime Minister also threw light on the monumental statue of Nadaprabhu Kemepegowda and said that it will act as an inspiration to building the Bengaluru and India of the future. Remarking on India’s identity in the world of startups, the Prime Minister said that Bengaluru plays a pivotal role in defining this identity. “Bengaluru is a representation of the startup spirit of India, and it is this spirit that makes the country stand out from the rest of the world”, Shri Modi remarked. The Prime Minister highlighted that this programme is a reflection of the youthful spirit of Bengaluru. Vande Bharat is not just a train but it is a new identity of New India. “Vande Bharat Express is a symbol that India has now left the days of stagnation behind. We are moving with a goal for the total transformation of India Railways.” More than 400 Vande Bharat Trains and Vista Dome Coaches are becoming the new identity of India Railways. Dedicated freight corridors will increase the speed of freight transportation and save time. Rapid Broad Gauge conversion is bringing new areas to the railways’ map. Talking about the modernization of railway stations, the Prime Minister said Sir M. Visvesvaraya Terminal, Bengaluru railway station is providing a much-enhanced experience to the commuters. Other stations, including in Karnataka, are being taken for upgradation, he informed. Throwing light on the vision of a developed India, the Prime Minister said that connectivity between cities will play a crucial role and it is also the need of the hour. The Prime Minister said that the new Terminal 2 of Kemepegowda Airport will add new facilities and services to boost connectivity. He pointed out that India is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world when it comes to air travel and the number of passengers travelling by air is also growing rapidly. The Prime Minister informed that there were only 70 airports in the country before 2014, but today this number has doubled to more than 140. “Airports are creating a new playing field for the expansion of businesses while also creating new employment opportunities for the youth of the nation”, Shri Modi remarked. The Prime Minister pointed out that Karnataka is reaping the benefits of the beliefs and aspirations that the entire world has shown towards India. The Prime Minister drew everyone’s attention to the investment of Rs 4 lakh crore in Karnataka that happened when the world was struggling with the covid pandemic. “Last year, Karnataka led the way in attracting foreign direct investment in the country”, he added. He further elaborated that this investment is not only limited to the IT sector but ranges from biotechnology to defence. He informed that Karnataka has a 25 percent share in the aircraft and space-craft industry of India. He also noted that approximately 70 percent of aircraft and helicopters that are made for India’s defence are manufactured in Karnataka. Shri Modi added that more than 400 companies from the Fortune 500 list are functioning in Karnataka. He credited the double-engine government of Karnataka for such tremendous growth in the state. “Be it governance or the growth of physical and digital infrastructure, India is working on a completely different level”, the Prime Minister remarked. Giving examples of BHIM UPI and Made in India 5G technology, the Prime Minister said that it is the professionals of Bengaluru that have turned this distant dream into a reality. The Prime Minister pointed out that such positive changes were beyond imagination before 2014 as the thought process of the previous government was outdated. “The previous governments considered speed as a luxury, and scale as a risk”, the Prime Minister continued, “Our government has changed this trend. We consider speed as the aspiration and scale as the power of India.” Throwing light on PM Gatishakti Master Plan, the Prime Minister remarked that the government made efforts to bring all the departments and agencies on a single platform and as a result, more than fifteen hundred layers of data are being made available to the different agencies. He further added that several ministries of central and state governments along with dozens of departments are coming together with the help of this platform. “Today, India is working towards the objective of Rs 110 lakh crores in the infrastructure investment pipeline”, he said, “Emphasis is laid on the multimodal infrastructure so that every medium of transport supports the other.” Speaking about the National Logistics Policy the Prime Minister said that it will help in reducing the cost of transportation in the country while also innovating it. Improving Social Infrastructure • 3.4 crore pucca houses for the poor in the country, 8 lakh in Karnataka • 7 crore households received piped water connection, 30 lakh in Karnataka • 4 crore patients received free treatment under Ayushman Bharat, 30 lakh in Karnataka. • Rs 2.5 lakh transferred into the account of more than 10 crore farmers of the country, Rs 11 thousand crores transferred to the account of 55 lakh farmers in Karnataka • 40 lakh street vendors received assistance under SVAnidhi, 2 lakh in Karnataka Recalling his address from the Red Fort about pride in the heritage of the country, the Prime Minister said that our heritage is cultural as well as spiritual. He informed that with Bharat Gaurav Rail is connecting the places of faith and spirituality and at the same time strengthening the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat. He informed that so far 9 such journeys of this train have been completed in different parts of the country. “Be it Shirdi Temple, Shri Ramayana Yatra, Divya Kashi Yatra, all such trains have been a very pleasant experience for the passengers.” He further added that the journey from Karnataka to Kashi, Ayodhya and Prayagraj which began today will help the people of Karnataka to visit Kashi and Ayodhya. The Prime Minister also drew everyone’s attention to the importance of coarse grains that was established by Kanak Das ji. Highlighting his composition – Ram Dhanya Charite, the Prime Minister said that it conveys the message of social equality citing the example of the most liked millet ‘ragi’ in Karnataka. The Prime Minister emphasised that the development of Bengaluru should be done as envisioned by Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Ji. “The settlement of this city is a great contribution of Kempegowda Ji to the people here,” he added. The Prime Minister highlighted the unparalleled detail when it comes to commerce and culture that was planned centuries ago for the convenience of the people of Bangalore. “The people of Bangalore are still getting the benefit of his vision”, Shri Modi added. He further elaborated that even though businesses may have transformed today, ‘Pete’ (an area in Bengaluru) still remains the commercial lifeline of Bengaluru. Throwing light on the contributions of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Ji in enriching the culture of Bangalore, the Prime Minister gave examples of the famous Gavi Gangadhareshwar temple and the temple in Basavanagudi area. “Through these, Kempegowda Ji has kept the cultural consciousness of Bangalore alive forever” he said.

The Prime Minister unveiled plaques to mark the laying of foundation stones for a bridge between Okha and Beyt Dwarka; and other road development projects. The Prime Minister said he saw a new energy and enthusiasm in Dwarka today. He said the bridge whose foundation stone has been laid, is a means to reconnect with our ancient heritage. It will boost tourism, which will generate employment, he added, noting that development will be the key to promoting tourism. The Prime Minister recalled how lack of infrastructure, led to difficulties and challenges for the people of Beyt Dwarka, some years ago. The Prime Minister said that the development of the tourism sector cannot happen in isolation. He said that if we want to draw more tourists to Gir, we should also inspire the tourists to visit other nearby places like Dwarka. Building of infrastructure should enhance economic activities and add to the atmosphere of development, the Prime Minister said. We want development of ports and port-led development; the blue economy should help further the progress of India, he added. The Prime Minister said that the Government of India is taking steps towards the empowerment of fishermen. He said Kandla Port is seeing unprecedented growth because resources were devoted to improve the port. He said a new lease of life has been given to Alang, and steps taken for the welfare of the labourers working there.

Today is an important day for India’s maritime power. Be it the military security of the nation or the economic security of the nation, India is witnessing huge opportunities today. The launch of India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier in Kochi just a few hours ago has filled every Indian with pride. And now projects worth more than Rs 3,700 crores have either been inaugurated or their foundation stone laid in Mangaluru. Along with expanding the capacity of the historic Mangalore Port, several projects have also been inaugurated and their foundation stone laid to increase the income of the refinery and our fishermen. I congratulate all of you, the people of Karnataka, for these projects. These projects will add more strength to the businesses and industries and ease of doing business in Karnataka. Being developed exclusively under One District One Product, it will be easier for the products of farmers and fishermen of Karnataka to reach the international markets. Friends, The first of the five ‘pran’ (pledges) that I talked about from the ramparts of Red Fort during this year’s Independence Day is the creation of a developed India. To build a developed India, it is very necessary to expand Make in India in the manufacturing sector of the country. To build a developed India, it is necessary that our exports increase and our products in the world should be competitive in terms of cost. This is not possible without cheap and easy logistics. Keeping this in mind, unprecedented work has been done on the infrastructure of the country for the last eight years. Today there is hardly any part of the country where work on some major infrastructure project is not going on. While the road infrastructure of bordering states is being strengthened from the Bharatmala project, the coastal infrastructure is getting power from the SagarMala project. Brothers and sisters, Over the years, the country has made port-led development an important mantra for development. As a result of these efforts, the capacity of India’s ports has almost doubled in just eight years. That is, as much as the port capacity was built till 2014, the same amount of capacity has been added in the last eight years. The new technology-related facilities that have been added to Mangalore Port are going to increase both its capacity and efficiency. The four projects related to the storage of gas and liquid cargo, whose foundation stone has been laid today, are going to be of great benefit to Karnataka and the country. This will also reduce the import cost of edible oil, LPG gas and bitumen. Friends, India is moving ahead with the resolve of green growth in the ‘Amrit Kaal’. Green growth and green jobs are new opportunities. The new facilities added to the refinery here today also reflect our priorities. So far, this refinery was dependent on river water. The desalination plant will reduce the refinery’s dependence on river water. Brothers and sisters, The way the country has made infrastructure development a priority in the last eight years, Karnataka has benefited immensely from it. Karnataka is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the SagarMala scheme. National highways projects worth 70,000 crore rupees have been implemented in Karnataka in the last eight years. Moreover, projects worth more than Rs one lakh crore are in the pipeline. Many projects, including the Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway, development of the six-lane Bengaluru-Mysore Road Highway, the Greenfield Corridor connecting Bengaluru to Pune and Bengaluru Satellite Ring Road, are underway. There has been a more than four-time increase in the railway budget of Karnataka in comparison to the period before 2014. Railway lines too have widened at more than four times speed in the last eight years. A major part of the electrification of railway lines in Karnataka has been completed in the last eight years. Friends, Today’s India is focusing so much on the development of modern infrastructure because this is the only way to build a developed India. Construction of modern infrastructure along with increasing the facilities also creates new employment on a large scale. This is also the way for the fulfillment of our big resolutions in the ‘Amrit Kaal’. Brothers and sisters, For the rapid development of the country, it is also very necessary that the energy of the people of the country should be channelized in the right direction. When the energy of the people is spent in mobilizing basic facilities, it also affects the pace of development of the country. Pucca houses, toilets, clean water, electricity and smoke-free kitchens are the basic needs in today’s era to live a dignified life. Our double-engine government is laying maximum emphasis on these facilities. More than three crore houses have been built for the poor in the country in the last eight years. In Karnataka also, approval has been given for more than 8 lakh pucca houses for the poor. Thousands of middle-class families have also been given the financial help of crores of rupees to build their houses. Piped water has been provided to more than six crore households in the country in just three years under the Jal Jeevan Mission. For the first time, piped water has reached more than 30 lakh rural households in Karnataka. I am happy that our sisters and daughters are the biggest beneficiaries of these facilities. Friends, The major needs of the poor are affordable treatment facilities and social security. When any misfortune happens, the whole family and sometimes even the future generations of the poor have to suffer. The Ayushman Bharat Yojana has liberated the poor people from this worry. Under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, about four crore poor people of the country have got free treatment during their hospitalization. As a result, the poor have been able to save about 50,000 crore rupees. More than 30 lakh poor patients of Karnataka have also got the benefit of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana and they have also saved more than Rs. 4000 crores. Brothers and sisters, For decades after independence, we have had such a situation that only the resourceful people had access to the benefits of development. For the first time, those who were economically weak have been linked to the benefits of development. Our government also stands with those who were left behind because of their poor financial condition. Crores of people, be it small farmers, traders, fishermen and street vendors, have started getting the benefits of the country’s development for the first time. They are joining the mainstream of development. Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, about two lakh crore rupees has been transferred to the bank accounts of more than 11 crore farmers of the country. More than 55 lakh small farmers of Karnataka have also received about 10,000 crore rupees. Under the PM SVANidhi, 35 lakh street vendors of the country have received financial help. About two lakh street vendors of Karnataka have also benefited from this scheme. Loans worth more than Rs 20 lakh crore have been given to small entrepreneurs across the country under the Mudra Yojana. Bank loans of about Rs two lakh crore have also been given to lakhs of small entrepreneurs of Karnataka. Friends, The double-engine government is making special efforts to improve the lives of our brothers and sisters in the coastal belt, villages around the ports and our fishermen. A little while back, Kisan Credit Cards were given to the friends from fisheries here. Necessary boats for deep sea fishing and modern vessels have also been provided. For the first time, efforts are being made to increase the welfare and livelihood of fishermen, be it subsidy under the PM Matsya Sampada Yojana or the facility of Kisan Credit Card to fishermen. Today the foundation laying ceremony for the fishing harbor has also been held in Kulai. Our brothers and sisters associated with the fisheries sector were demanding this for years. When it is ready, many problems of fishermen will be solved. This project will help hundreds of fishermen families and many people will also get employment. Friends, The double-engine government is working day and night to fulfill the aspirations of the people of the country. The aspiration of the people of the country is like the order of the people for our government. It is the aspiration of the people of the country that India should have world class infrastructure. Today modern infrastructure is being developed in every nook and corner of the country. It is the aspiration of the people of the country that more and more of our cities should be connected by metro connectivity. Due to the efforts of our government, the number of metro cities has quadrupled in the last eight years. It is the desire of the people of the country that they should enjoy affordable air travel. So far, more than one crore passengers have traveled in airplanes under the UDAN scheme. It is the aspiration of the people of the country that there should be a clean economy in India. Today digital payments are at a historic level and our innovations like BHIM-UPI are grabbing the attention of the world. The people of the country today want the Internet which is fast and cheap and in every nook and corner of the country. Today, gram panchayats are being connected by laying about six lakh km of optical fiber. The 5G facility is going to bring a new revolution in this field. I am glad that the double-engine government of Karnataka is also working to fulfill the needs and aspirations of the people at a rapid pace. Friends, India’s coastal line spreads over more than 7,500 kilometers. We have to take full advantage of this potential of the country. The Karavali Coast and Western Ghats here are also famous for tourism. I am told that the New Mangalore Port handles an average of 25,000 tourists per cruise season and it also includes a large number of foreign nationals. In short, there are many possibilities. As the power of the middle class is increasing in India, there are greater possibilities of cruise tourism in India. When tourism grows, it is of great benefit to our cottage industries, artisans, village industries, street vendors, auto rickshaw drivers, taxi drivers and small sections of society. I am glad that New Mangalore Port is continuously adding new facilities to boost cruise tourism. Friends, When the Corona crisis began, I talked about turning disaster into opportunity. Today the country has shown this by turning disaster into opportunity. The GDP figures that came a few days ago are showing that the policies and decisions made by India during the Corona period were very important. Despite so many global disruptions last year, India exported goods worth $670 billion i.e. 50 lakh crore rupees. Overcoming every challenge, India made a new record of merchandise export of $418 billion i.e. 31 lakh crore rupees. Today every sector related to the growth engine of the country is running at full capacity. The service sector is also moving towards rapid growth. The impact of PLI schemes is beginning to be visible on the manufacturing sector. The entire electronic manufacturing sector, including mobile phones, has grown manifold. As much as the import of toys has decreased in three years, its export has increased almost as much. All these benefits are accruing to the coastal areas of the country, which have major ports like Mangalore, and which provide their resources for exporting Indian goods. Friends, With the efforts of the government, the country has also witnessed an increase in coastal traffic over the years. Due to increased facilities and resources at different ports of the country, coastal movement has become easier now. It is the effort of the government that port connectivity should be better and it should be accelerated. Therefore, more than 250 projects of railways and roads have been identified under the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan which will help in seamless port connectivity. Brothers and sisters, Known for its valor and trade, this coastal region is full of enormous talents. Many entrepreneurial people of India are from here. Many beautiful islands and hills of India are in Karnataka itself. Many famous temples and pilgrimage centers of India are here. Today, as the country celebrates the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, I would also like to remember Rani Abbakka and Rani Chennabhairadevi. Their struggle to save India’s soil and business from slavery was unprecedented. Today, these brave women are a great inspiration for India moving forward in the field of exports. The way the people of Karnataka and our young comrades made the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign successful is also an extension of this rich tradition. I always feel inspired by this energy of patriotism and national resolve by coming to the Karavali region of Karnataka. May this energy seen in Mangaluru continue to brighten the path of development! With this hope, I wish you all the very best and many congratulations for these development projects. Speak with me with full force: Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Bharat Mata ki – Jai!

It is now a full three years since I started speaking to you over “Mann Ki Baat”. This is the 36th episode today. “Mann Ki Baat” has provided me with a unique opportunity to get connected with various feelings and positive energy of the country; emotions of our people which include their desires, expectations and at times, even grievances, which come to their minds. And I have never said that these are the expressions of my mind; Mann Ki Baat reflects our countrymen’s minds, their expressions, their expectations. And when I say things in Mann Ki Baat, people from across the country send their ideas, experiences and feelings to me. I am probably not able to convey all these to you but still I get a treasure-full of ideas over e-mail, over telephone, over mygov. or over NarendraModiApp. I receive a multitude of such ideas and suggestions. Most of these are inspiring to me. A large number of these ideas are regarding improvements in the functioning of our government. There are personal grievances and complaints and sometimes attention is drawn to community problems. I just take half an hour of your time in a month but people keep sending suggestions, ideas and other material over Mann Ki Baat during all 30 days of the month. And, the result of this whole exercise is that the government has started realizing the sensitivities and powerful ideas of the people of far off places. And, this is why the three-year journey of Mann Ki Baat is in fact a journey of our countrymen, their emotions and their feelings. I am thankful to our countrymen for having provided me an opportunity to understand the feelings of the common man. In Mann Ki Baat, I have always remembered one sentence of Acharya Vinoba Bhave. He always used to say ‘A- sarkari, Asarkari’, meaning non government is effective. I have also tried to focus on the people of the country in Mann Ki Baat, have kept it away from political hues & tried to remain connected with you with a stable mind rather than being diverted by the heat of the moment or anguish. I surely believe and feel that now after three years, social scientists, universities, research scholars, media experts would undertake its analysis and highlight its every aspect, positive as well as negative. And I am sure that this brainstorming could be useful for Mann Ki Baat in future and will infuse a new energy into it. And, in one episode of Mann Ki Baat I had said that while having our food, we must also be conscious of consuming only as much as we need and see to it that there is no wastage. But, later, I received letters from all corners of the country. Many social organizations and many youth are already observing this in practice. I come to know about a lot many people who were involved in ensuring that leftover food was best utilized. I derived much satisfaction and joy to learn this. Once, in Mann Ki Baat, I had mentioned about a retired teacher from Maharashtra Shriman Chandrakant Kulkarni who donated 51 post – dated cheques of Rs. 5,000/- each for the cleanliness drive out of his total monthly pension of Rs. 16,000/-. And then I saw that a lot many people came forward to donate for this cause. Once, I saw a selfie of a sarpanch with a daughter and referred to the same in Mann Ki Baat. In no time, “Selfie with Daughter” became a big campaign not only in India but across the whole world. This is not only an issue of social media. It became an incident to create a new self-confidence and a feeling of self pride in every daughter. Every parent started feeling that they should take a selfie with their daughter. Every daughter started regaining her own self confidence & self esteem. I was in a meeting with the Tourism Department recently. I asked people who were planning to go travelling that where-ever they visit ‘Incredible India’, they must send photographs of those places. Lakhs of photographs from every corner of India were received which actually became a treasure for those working in the tourism sector. I’ve experienced through ‘Mann Ki Baat’ that even a tiny incident can launch a massive campaign. Today I felt like sharing it, since I thought that it has been three years, and events & incidents over those three years ran across my mind. The nation is always ready to move in the right direction. Every citizen of the country wants to do something for the benefit of others, for social good, for the country’s progress. This is what I gathered, learnt and understood from our countrymen during three years of the Mann Ki Baat campaign. This is the most valuable capital and enormous strength for any country. I heartily bow to my countrymen. In one episode of Mann Ki Baat I had discussed about Khadi and Khadi is not a fabric but an idea, a principle. I have noticed that these days interest in Khadi has increased very much and I had just said that I was not asking people to makeover into wearing Khadi permanently; rather, since there are a number of fabrics then why not Khadi also be one of the fabrics of your choice? May be a bed-sheet in the house, a handkerchief or a curtain, it has been felt that the younger generation has got interested in Khadi. Sale of Khadi has increased and as a result of this, the poor man’s household has directly got connected to employment. Discount is offered on Khadi from 2nd October and people get quite a good rebate. I once again urge that we should try and take forward the Khadi movement. We should follow the spirit of helping the poor to be able to light a Diwali lamp. The poor of our country will derive strength from this and we must do it. The increasing interest in Khadi has infused a new thinking in those working in the Khadi sector as well as those connected, in any way, with Khadi. How do we bring in new technology, how do we increase productivity, how do we introduce looms driven by solar power? How do we rejuvenate our traditional heritage which was lying inactive for 20, 25 or 30 years? Sewapuri Khadi Ashram at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh was lying closed for 26 years but has got a fresh lease of life now. A number of thoughts were implemented. New employment opportunities were created for a number of people. Khadi Gramodyog revived its training centre at Pampore in Kashmir and in this sector Kashmir has so much to offer. With the reopening of this training centre, the new generation will get a boost in jobs in manufacturing , in weaving, in creating new things and it feels so good to see that even big corporate Houses have started including Khadi items as Diwali gifts. Even people have started exchanging Khadi items as gifts. We now experience how something grows naturally. My dear countrymen, we had taken a resolve in last month’s Mann Ki Baat and had decided to observe a 15-day Cleanliness Festival before Gandhi Jayanti. We shall connect people through cleanliness. Our Honourable President inaugurated this programme and the country got connected. The old or the young, men or women, city or village everyone has become a part of this Cleanliness campaign now. And when I say “Sankalp Se Siddhi”, we can see for ourselves as to how a Cleanliness Campagin is advancing towards Sankalp Siddhi, that is Attainment through Reslove. Everyone accepts this, co-operates in this and makes a contribution in realizing this. I am grateful to our Honourable President. But, every section of society has taken this as its own campaign, everyone has got connected to this. Whether it be people from the sports world, academicians, schools, colleges, universities, farmers, workers, officers, government employees, police, or army jawans – every one has got connected with this. A kind of a pressure has been created in public places and now people resist if someone tries to spoil or to make a public place dirty in any way and even those spoiling public places are also feeling this pressure. It is a good thing and I am pleased to know that just in the first four days of “Swachhata Hi Sewa Abhiyan” more than 75 lakh people joined these activities with more than 40 thousand initiatives.. I have seen that some people are continuously working and are determined to bring out results. I noticed something else this time – one is that we clean up a place, and the second is that we become aware and do not spread filth; but if we have to inculcate cleanliness as a habit, we must start an idea- based movement also. This time a number of competitions were organized on the theme “Cleanliness is Service”. More than two and a half crore children took part in an Essay Competition on cleanliness. Thousands of children made paintings. They drew pictures based on their own imaginations. Many people wrote poems and these days I post drawings made by our young children on social media and praise their efforts. Whenever there is a reference to cleanliness, I do not forget to express my gratitude to media persons. They have taken this campaign in a religious manner. They have made a big contribution in creating a positive environment and are leading the Cleanliness Campaign in their own ways. We can see in “Swachhata Hi Sewa” movement as to how the electronic media and the print media in our country can render a big service to the country. Just a few days ago some one drew my attention towards Bilal Dar, a young man of 18 years from Srinagar. And you will be glad to know that Srinagar Municipal Corporation has made him their brand ambassador and when there is a talk of brand ambassador, there is a general feeling that he/she must be a Cine artist or a sports-personality. But not in this case. Bilal Dar got connected to the ‘Swachhata Abhiyan’ or Cleanliness Campaign since the age of 12-13 years and has been working for the last 5 to 6 years. He clears plastic, polythene, used bottles, dry or wet waste – every piece of dirt from Aisa’s biggest lake near Srinagar. He also earns from this activity. His father had died of cancer at a very young age but he connected his livelihood with cleanliness. I congratulate Srinagar Municipal Corporation for taking this initiative towards sanitation and for their imagination to appoint an ambassador for this cause of cleanliness because Srinagar is a tourist destination and every Indian wants to go there; and if such attention is given to Cleanliness it is a very big achievement in itself. And I am glad that they have not only appointed Bilal as their ambassador but also given him a vehicle, and also a uniform and he goes to other areas and educates people about cleanliness and inspires them and keeps tracking them till results are achieved. Bilal is very young age wise but is a source of inspiration for all of us who are interested in cleanliness. I congratulate Bilal Dar. My dear countrymen, we will have to accept the fact that history begets history and when there is a reference to history, it is but natural to recall our great men. The month of October is a month to remember so many of our titans. From Mahatma Gandhi to Sardar Patel, there are many great leaders who gave us the direction towards the 20th and 21st century, led us, guided us and faced so many hardships for the country. 2nd October is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, 11th October is the birth anniversary of Jai Prakash Narain and Nanaji Deshmukh and Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay’s birth anniversary falls on 25th September. This is the centenary year of Nanaji and Deen Dayal ji. And, what was the main focus of all these great men? One thing was common and that was to live for the country, do something for the nation; they led the people not by mere sermons but by their actions. Gandhiji, Jai Prakashji, Deen Dayalji were such great personalities who remained far away from the corridors of power but lived every moment for the people, kept fighting all odds following the principle “Sarv Jan Hitay – Sarv Jan Sukhay”, they kept endeavouring tirelessly. Nanaji Deshmukh left politics and joined the Gramodaya Movement and while celebrating his Centenary year, it is but natural to honour his contribution towards Gramodaya. India’s former President Shriman Abdul Kalamji used to speak of Nanaji’s contribution in rural development while talking to the youth. He used to mention Nanaji’s contribution with great respect and he even went to a village to see Nanaji’s work there. Like Gandhiji, Deen Dayal Upadhyayji also talked about the last person at the farthest fringes. Deen Dayalji talked about the poorest of the poor the deprived, distressed ones and spoke of how, through education, employment or otherwise his life could be transformed. We are not obliging these great men by remembering them but we remember them so that we may be able to foresee our forays into the future and the direction we choose. In the next Mann Ki Baat, I will surely mention Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel but on 31st October, Run for Unity – Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat – will be organized throughout the country. There should be a number of Run for Unity programmes in every city, every town and the weather is also such that one would enjoy running – It is essential for developing a will power of steel, like that of Sardar Saheb. Sardar Saheb unified the country. We also have to run for unity in order to promote the mantra of unity. The element of Unity in diversity being India’s speciality comes naturally to us. We feel proud of diversity but have you ever tried to feel this diversity? I would like to re-iterate to my countrymen, and specially to my young friends that we are alive & aware beings. We should feel India’s diversity, touch it, feel its fragrance. You may see for yourself, that for your inner development also, these diversities of our country work as a big teaching tool. There are vacations, Diwali is drawing near, all around in our country, there is an inclination to travel to some place or the other; people go as tourists and it is very natural. But, it is a matter of concern when we do not see our own country, we do not know about its diversities nor do we understand them. Impressed by mere superficial glitter we have started enjoying touring foreign countries only. You travel around the world, I have no issues but have a look at your own country too. People of North India may not be knowing what all is there in the South! People of West India may not be knowing what all is there in the East! Our country is full of such myriad diversities. If you refer to Mahatma Gandhi, Lokmanya Tilak, Swami Vivekanand, our former President Abdul Kalamji then you will notice that when they toured around India, they got to see and understand India and they got inspired to do and die for the country. All these great men travelled widely in India. At the beginning of their endeavour, they tried to know and understand India; tried to live India within themselves. Can we make an effort as a student to learn, understand and try to live as per the traditions, culture, attire, eating habits and beliefs of different states, different societies, different groups of our country? There will be a value addition in tourism only when we travel not only as a visitor but also like a student and make efforts to assimilate, understand & adapt. This is my personal experience, I had a chance of visiting more than five hundred districts of India. In more than four hundred & fifty districts, I had a night stay too. And now, when I am shouldering this responsibility in India, that travel is coming in very handy and proving to be very useful. That helps me a lot in understanding things. I request you too, to feel the “Unity in Diversity” which is not a mere slogan but is a storehouse of enormous energy. The dream of “Ek Bharat – Shreshtha Bharat” is inherent in this. How many varieties of cuisines there are ! If we eat a new dish every day, we won’t have to repeat any variety throughout our life. This is the power of our tourism. I would request that during these vacations do not go out just for a change but leave with the intention to know, understand –& gain something. Internalize India within yourselves. Internalize the diversities of millions of denizens of India within you. These experiences will enrich your lives. Your vision will expand. And, who can be a better teacher than experience! Generally, October to March is the suitable time for tourism. People travel. I am sure that even this time if you go, you will lend further fillip to my campaign. Wherever you go, share your experiences, share photographs. You must send photographs on # incredibleindia. If you happen to meet people there, send their photos too. Write not only about architecture or natural beauty but write something about their daily life too. Write good travelogues. Send on Mygov. And on NarendraModiApp. A thought comes to my mind, that in order to promote tourism in India what could be the seven best tourist destinations in your state – every Indian must know about these seven tourist spots of his state. If possible, one must visit these seven places. Can you provide some information about that? Can you post on NarendraModiApp? Can you post on #incredibleindia? You see, if all the people of one state will do this, then I will ask the government to do a scrutiny of it and prepare publicity material based on seven common things received from each state. In other words, how can tourist destination be developed keeping public aspirations in mind? Similarly, whatever you have seen throughout India and whichever seven out of these you liked the best and you wish that someone should see these things, or should go there, should get information about them, then you must send photos and information of seven such tourist spots on Mygov. Or on NarendraModiApp. The Government of India will work on that. The government will accept suggestions about making films, videos or preparing publicity material and about promoting that destination. Come, get connected with me. You can also act as a major catalyst in promoting the tourism of our country by utilizing the time from this October to March. I invite you. My dear countrymen, being a human being, there are many things that touch me too. They agitate my heart. They leave a deep impression on my heart. After all I am also a human being just like you. You might have noticed one recent incident, a unique example of grit, determination and patriotism that was witnessed by all countrymen. The Indian Army has got two extraordinary brave women officers; they are Lieutenant Swati and Nidhi. Their husbands laid down their lives in the service of mother India. One can imagine one’s agonizing mental state if her world gets shattered at such a early age! But Swati Mahadik, the wife of martyr colonel Santosh Mahadik – resolved to face the difficult situations and she joined the Indian Army. She received training for 11 months putting in great efforts and she put her life at stake to fulfill her husband’s dreams. Similarly, Nidhi Dubey’s husband Mukesh Dubey was a Naik in the army and attained martyrdom while fighting for his country. His wife Nidhi also took a resolve and joined the army. It is very natural for every countryman to have a deep sense of respect for these two bravehearts, our Matri Shakti. I convey my heartiest congratulations to both of them. They have evoked a new inspiration and a new awakening among millions of our countrymen. Many congratulation to these two sisters. My dear countrymen, there is a big opportunity for our younger generation between Navratra festivities and Diwali. FIFA under- 17 world cup is being organized in our country. I am sure reverberations of the spirit of football will be heard all around. It will evince more interest in Football in every generation. There should not be a single school-college ground in India where we will not see our youngsters at play. Come on, the whole world is coming to play on Indian soil, let us make sports a part of our lives. My dear countrymen, Navratras are going on. It is a time for praying to Ma Durga. The whole environment is filled with sacred fragrance. All around there is an atmosphere of spirituality, an air of festivities, an atmosphere of bhakti, of reverence. This is revered as a festival of Shakti Sadhana. This is also known as Sharadiya Navratri, the beginning of autumn. On this pious occasion of Navratri, I convey my best wishes to our countrymen and pray to Ma Shakti to let our country attain newer heights so that the desires and expectations of all our countrymen get fulfilled. May our nation be blessed with the strength to face any challenge. May the nation move forward and may the year two thousand twenty two- 75 years of India’s Independence be an attempt to realize the dreams of our freedom fighters, the resolve of 125 crore countrymen, with their tremendous hard work, courage and determination to fulfill our resolve and prepare a roadmap for five years. We have moved on; may ma-shakti shower her blessings upon us. My good wishes to all of you. Celebrate festivities, enjoy with enthusiasm. Many Many thanks.","২৪ ছেপ্টেম্বৰ, ২০১৭ত আকাশবাণীত ৩৬সংখ্যক মন কী বাত উপলক্ষে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ ইংৰাজী সংস্কৰণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-tribute-to-onake-obavva-on-her-jayanti/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%93%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%93%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%93%E0%A6%81%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi bowed to the great Kannada warrior woman, Onake Obavva on the special occasion of her Jayanti.

BRICS was established with the belief that this group of emerging economies can evolve as an engine of global growth. Today when the whole world is focusing on post-COVID recovery, then the role of BRICS countries will continue to remain very important again. Friends, In order to deal with the economic problems arising out of the pandemic, in India we have adopted the mantra of “reform, perform and transform”. And the results of this approach are evident from the performance of the Indian economy. This year, we are expecting 7.5 percent growth, which makes us the fastest growing major economy. Transformative changes are taking place in every sector in the emerging ‘New India’. Today I want to draw your attention on four main aspects. First, a key pillar of India’s current economic recovery is technology-led growth. We are supporting innovation in every sector. We have made innovation-friendly policies in many areas like space, blue economy, green hydrogen, clean energy, drones, geo-spatial data, etc. Today, India has one of the best eco-systems in the world for innovation, which is reflected in the growing number of Indian start-ups. There are more than 100 unicorns in over 70,000 start-ups in India, and their number continues to grow. Second, even during the pandemic, India continued to make many efforts to improve the ease of doing business. Thousands of rules have been changed to reduce the compliance burden on the business. The work is going on at a massive scale to bring in more transparency and consistency in Government policies and procedures. Third, Infrastructure in India is also being improved on a large scale, and its expansion is also taking place. For the same, India has prepared a National Master Plan. There are investment opportunities of $1.5 trillion under our National Infrastructure Pipeline. And fourth, the kind of digital transformation is being taking place in India today, it has never been seen in the world stage. The value of Indian digital economy will reach 1 trillion dollars by 2025. The growth of the digital sector also encouraged the participation of women in the workforce. There are approximately 36 % women out of 4.4 million professionals working in our IT sector. The maximum benefit from Technology-based financial inclusion has also been gone to the women in our rural areas. BRICS Women Business Alliance can undertake study in this transformative change in India. Similarly, we can have a useful dialogue on innovation-led economic recovery. I suggest that the BRICS Business Forum may develop a platform for regular exchanges between our startups. I am sure that today’s discussion of BRICS Business Forum will be very beneficial. I wish you all the best.

It calls for supporting infrastructure, logistic support, fiscal incentives and enabling environment. The strategic objective of the Policy is to build a supportive ecosystem through academic and research institutes, industry- academia collaboration and to support and encourage Exploration and Production (E&P) Contractors to deploy ER/IR/UHC Methods/ techniques. The Policy will be applicable to all contractual regimes and Nomination fields. This policy initiative is expected to spur new investment, provide impetus to economic activities and generate additional employment opportunities. The Policy is expected to facilitate induction of new,innovative and cutting-edge technology and forging technological collaboration to improve productivity of existing fields. The Policy envisages systemic assessment of every field for its ER potential, appraisal of appropriate ER techniques and fiscal incentives to de-risk the cost involved in ER Projects to make the investment financially viable. Mandatory Screening of fields through designated institutions, to be notified by Government, and conducting Pilot before actual implementation of ER Project on commercial level, are other prominent features of the Policy. An Enhanced Recovery (ER) Committee comprising of representatives of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), experts from upstream sector, and academia would monitor and implement the Policy. The Policy, having a sunset clause, will be effective for 10 years from the date of its notification. However, the fiscal incentives will be available for a period of 120 months from the date of commencement of production in ER/UHC projects. In case of IR Projects, the incentives will be available from the date of achievement of the prescribed benchmark. Defined timelines have been prescribed to complete the various processes under the Policy. The fiscal incentives are extended in form of partial waiver of applicable Cess/Royalty on incremental production resulting from the adoption of ER methods on designated wells. Technological interventions have significant potential in stimulating the recovery of hydrocarbon reserves from the matured/aging fields. An increase by 5% in recovery rate of original in-place volume in oil production is envisaged producing 120 MMT additional oil in next 20 years. In case of gas, an increase of 3% recovery rate on original in- place volume is envisaged, leading to additionalproduction of 52 BCM of gas in next 20 years.",তেল আৰু গেছ উত্তোলনত উন্নত পদ্ধতি ব্যৱহাৰত উৎসাহিত কৰিবলৈ নীতিগত পৰিকাঠামোত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-amalgamation-of-consultancy-development-centre-cdc-along-with-its-manpower-moveable-assets-and-liabilities-with-council-of-scientific-and-industrial-research-csir-of-department-o/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%88%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%8D/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved the following: i.

Financial inclusion has ensured better participation of women in the financial decisions of the families” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi addressed a webinar on positive impact of Union Budget on rural development. This is the second webinar in this series. Concerned Union Ministers, representatives of the state governments and other stakeholders were present on the occasion. The Prime Minister began by reiterating the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas as inspiration behind all the policies and actions of the government. “Our pledges for the Azadi Ka Amrit kaal will be realized only with the efforts of everyone and everyone will be able to make that effort only when every individual, section and region gets the full benefit of development”, Shri Modi emphasized. He explained that the budget has given clear road map for achieving the goal of saturation of government development measures and schemes and how basic amenities can reach to cent percent population. “The Budget has made essential allocations for every scheme like PM Awas Yojana, Gramin Sadak Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, connectivity of North-East, broadband in villages”, he said. “Similarly, Vibrant Village programme, announced in the budget is very important for the border villages”, he added. The Prime Minister elaborated on the priorities of the government and said that Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North East Region (PM-DevINE) will ensure saturation of basic amenities in the North-East region. Similarly, Svamitva Scheme is helping in properly demarcating residences and land in villages as more than 40 lakh property cards have been issued. With measures like Unique land identification PIN, dependence of rural people on the revenue officials will decrease. He asked the state governments to work with a time-line for linking land records and demarcation solutions with modern technology. “For achieving 100 per cent coverage in different schemes, we will have to focus on new technology, so that projects get completed with speed and quality is not compromised also”, he added. Talking about the target of 4 crore water connections under the Jal Jeevan Mission, the Prime Minister asked to enhance the efforts. He also appealed to every state government to be very vigilant about the quality of the pipelines and water that is proposed to be provided. “One of the key features of this scheme is that there should be a sense of ownership at the village level and ‘water governance’ is strengthened. Keeping all this in Mind, we have to take tap water to every household by 2024”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister pointed out that rural digital connectivity is no longer mere aspiration but has become a necessity. “Broadband will not only provide facilities in the villages but will also create a big pool of skilled youth in the villages”, he said. Broadband, the Prime Minister said, will expand the service sector to increase capabilities in the country. He also emphasized need for proper awareness regarding proper use of the broadband capabilities where the work is already completed. The Prime Minister underlined the role of woman power as the foundation of rural economy. “Financial inclusion has ensured better participation of women in the financial decisions of the families. There is a need to push this participation of women further through self-help groups”, he added. In conclusion, the Prime Minister suggested many ways of improving governance for rural development from his experience. He suggested that it will be helpful that all agencies responsible for rural issues should sit together on regular intervals to ensure synergy and coordination. “More than availability of money, it is the presence of siloes and lack of convergence that is the problem”, he said. He suggested many innovative ways such as making the border villages venue of various competitions, retired government officials benefitting their villages with their administrative experience. He also suggested that deciding on a day as birthday of the village and celebrating it with a spirit of solving the problems of the village will strengthen the attachment of the people with their village and will enrich the rural life. Measures like Krishi Vigyan Kendras selecting few farmers for natural farming, villages deciding about removing mal-nutrition and dropout rates will lead to much better outcomes for India’s villages, he said.",গ্ৰাম্য উন্নয়ন খণ্ডত কেন্দ্ৰীয় বাজেটৰ ইতিবাচক প্ৰভাৱক লৈ আয়োজিত ৱেবিনাৰত বক্তব্য ৰাখে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-demise-of-shrimant-chhatrapati-shivajiraje-bhosale-ji/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the demise of Shrimant Chhatrapati Shivajiraje Bhosale Ji.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that in today’s inauguration of complexes, India has taken another step in developing the nation’s capital according to needs and aspirations of a new India in the 75th year of India’s independence. He lamented the fact that for a very long time the defence related work was being conducted from hutments constructed during the second World War which were made keeping in mind horse stable and barracks needs. “This new defence office complex will strengthen the efforts of making the working of our defence forces convenient and effective”, he said. The Prime Minister said these modern offices built at KG Marg and Africa Avenue, will go a long way in effectively carrying out all the work related to the security of the nation. This is a big step towards the construction of a modern defense enclave in the capital.

The Prime Minister remarked when we talk about the capital, it is not just a city. The capital of any country is a symbol of the thinking, determination, strength and culture of that country. India is the mother of democracy. Therefore, the capital of India should be such, in which there are citizens, people in the center. The Prime Minister stressed the role of modern infrastructure in the government’s focus on ease of living and ease of doing business. “The ongoing construction work of Central Vista is going on with this thought only”, said the Prime Minister. Enumerating the efforts of new constructions as per the aspirations of the capital, the Prime Minister said that many constructions like residences for people’s representatives, Efforts to preserve Baba Saheb Ambedakar’s memories,, many bhawans, memorials for our martyrs are enhancing the glory of the capital today. The Prime Minister said the work of the Defense Office Complex which was to be completed in 24 months has been completed in a record time of just 12 months. That too when all the other challenges ranging from labor were to the fore in the circumstances created by Corona. Hundreds of workers got employment in this project during the Corona period. The Prime Minister credited this to a new thinking and approach in the government’s functioning. “ When policies and intentions are clear, will power is strong and efforts honest, everything is possible”, said the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said that these defence office complexes are the manifestation of changing work culture and priorities of the government. Optimal and proper use of available land with various departments of the government is one such priority, he said. Illustrating thi, the Prime Minister informed that these defence office complexes are constructed in 13 acre land parcels unlike earlier times when five times more land was used for similar complexes. The Prime Minister also highlighted that in next 25 years i.e. ‘Azadi ka Amrit Kaal’ productivity and efficiency of the government system will be supported by such efforts.

The same democratic spirit is seen in the 10th Century “Uttaramerur” inscription that codified the principles of democratic participation. This very democratic spirit and ethos had made ancient India one of the most prosperous. Centuries of colonial rule could not suppress the democratic spirit of the Indian people. It again found full expression with India’s independence, and led to an unparalleled story in democratic nation-building over the last 75 years. It is a story of unprecedented socio-economic inclusion in all spheres. It is a story of constant improvements in health, education, and human well-being at an un-imaginable scale. The India story has one clear message to the world. That democracy can deliver, that democracy has delivered, and that democracy will continue to deliver. Excellencies, The structural features like multi-party elections, independent judiciary, and free media – are important instruments of democracy. However, the basic strength of democracy is the spirit and ethos that lie within our citizens and our societies. Democracy is not only of the people, by the people, for the people but also with the people, within the people. Excellencies, Different parts of the world have followed different paths of democratic development. There is much we can learn from each other. We all need to constantly improve our democratic practices and systems. And, we all need to continuously enhance inclusion, transparency, human dignity, responsive grievance redressal and decentralization of power. In this context, today’s assembly provides a timely platform for furthering cooperation among democracies. India would be happy to share its expertise in holding free and fair elections, and in enhancing transparency in all areas of governance through innovative digital solutions. We must also jointly shape global norms for emerging technologies like social media and crypto-currencies, so that they are used to empower democracy, not to undermine it. Excellencies, By working together, democracies can meet the aspirations of our citizens and celebrate the democratic spirit of humanity. India stands ready to join fellow democracies in this noble endeavor. Thank you. Thank you very much.",গণতন্ত্ৰ সন্মিলনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী নৰেন্দ্ৰ মোদীৰ ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বিবৃত https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-greets-on-the-auspicious-occasion-of-the-parkash-purab-of-sri-guru-granth-sahib-ji/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81-2/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has greeted everyone, particularly the Sikh community on the auspicious occasion of the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

The first All India Annual State Ministers’ Conference on Water holds immense importance. Today, India has been engaged in unparalleled work on water security; and is also making unprecedented investments. In our constitutional system, the subject of water comes under the control of the states. States’ efforts towards water conservation will go a long way in achieving the collective goals of the country. Hence, ‘Water Vision at 2047’ is a vital dimension of the journey in the ‘Amritkaal’ for the next 25 years. Friends, It is quite natural and necessary to have discussions in this conference keeping the vision of ‘whole of government’ and ‘whole of country’ in mind. One aspect of ‘Whole of government’ is that all the governments should work as a single organic entity or one system. In the states too, there are various ministries like Ministry of Water, Ministry of Irrigation, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Rural Development, Department of Animal Husbandry, the Ministry of Urban Development, and disaster management. So, it is very important to have constant communication, dialogue, clarity and a unified vision among all. If the departments exchange information with one another and have complete data, it will be helpful in their planning. Friends, We also need to understand that success is attained not with the efforts of the government alone. Those in government must shun this mindset that their efforts alone will yield the expected results. For success, we need to involve the public, social organizations and civil society as much as possible in the campaigns related to water conservation. There is another aspect of public participation and it is very crucial to understand that as well. Some people believe that public participation means putting all the responsibility on the people or promoting public participation reduces the responsibility of the government. However, this is not the reality. The government is no less accountable. The greatest advantage of public participation is that the public also comes to know how much money and effort are being put in this campaign. It has various aspects. When the public gets involved in a campaign, it becomes aware of the seriousness of the work, its potential, scale as well as the total resources being used. Consequently, when people see these things and get involved, be it a scheme like this or a campaign, a sense of ownership develops in them. And the Sense of Ownership is the greatest key to success. Now Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is the best example of the same. When people joined the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, there was a consciousness and an awareness among the public. Different resources were needed to remove the filth. The construction of various water treatment plants, as well as toilets and many such works were done by the government. But the success of this campaign was ensured when the public and every citizen realized that no one should litter. A sense of aversion towards filth started growing among the citizens. Now we need to inculcate this idea of public participation in the minds of the people for water conservation. The more awareness we create among the people for this campaign, the more impact it will create. For example, we can organize ‘Water Awareness Festivals’. Various events related to water awareness can be added to the fairs held at the local level. To make particularly the new generation aware of this subject, we must think of innovative ways from curriculum to activities in schools. You are already aware that the country is developing 75 Amrit Sarovars in every district. You have also contributed a lot in this endeavour in your state. In such a short span of time, 25,000 Amrit Sarovars have already been built. This is a unique campaign of its kind in the whole world in the direction of water conservation. And this involves public participation too. People are taking initiative; people are coming forward in this effort. To ensure conservation and public participation, we need to continuously expand our efforts in this direction. Friends, We must think beyond government policies and bureaucratic procedures to solve the problems related to water even at the policy level. We need to connect technology, industry, and start-ups to identify problems and find solutions. Technologies like geo-sensing and geo-mapping can help us a lot in this direction. Friends, ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ is a major development parameter of the states to provide water to every household. Many states have done a commendable job in this direction while many other states are moving forward towards the same. Now we need to make sure that once this system is in place, even the maintenance must be done equally well. Gram Panchayats should lead the Jal Jeevan Mission; and once the work is completed, they should also certify that sufficient as well as clean water has been made available. Every gram panchayat can also submit monthly or quarterly report online regarding the number of houses in its village that are getting tapped water supply. To ensure that the quality of water is up to the mark, a system of periodic water testing should also be developed. Friends, We all know that industry and agriculture are two such sectors which naturally require a lot of water. We should run a special campaign among the people associated with both these sectors to make them aware of water security. Crop-diversification should be done on the basis of availability of water. Natural farming should be done and promoted. It has been observed in various places that wherever natural farming is being done, there has been a positive impact on water conservation. Friends, Under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana, work is being done at a rapid pace in all the states. Under this scheme, the Per Drop More Crop campaign was started. Under this scheme, so far more than 70 lakh hectares of land in the country have been brought under micro-irrigation. Micro-irrigation should be promoted continuously by all the states. This is extremely crucial for water conservation. Now pipeline based new schemes are being introduced in place of direct canal. This needs to be taken even further. Friends, For water conservation, the Centre has started the Atal Bhujal Water Conservation Scheme. This is a sensitive campaign, and it needs to be carried forward with equal sensitivity. It is also necessary that the authorities set up for groundwater management work earnestly in this direction. Water-shed work is necessary on a large scale in all the districts for groundwater recharge. And it is desired that most of the work in MGNREGA is associated with water conservation. The programme to revive the spring shed has been started in the hilly areas. Work on it needs to be expedited. It is equally important to expand the forest areas in your state for water conservation. For this, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Water should work hand-in-hand. In order to provide sustainable water, attention should also be paid to the conservation of all local sources of water. Gram Panchayats should also chalk out an action plan for themselves for the next 5 years, keeping water in focus. It should include a roadmap for water supply, cleanliness and waste management. Water budget has been prepared at Panchayat level in some states on the basis of how much water is required in which village and the type of work required for the same. This can also be adopted by other states. In recent years, we have seen that the ‘Catch the Rain campaign’ has created quite an attraction. But for its success, a lot needs to be done. It is essential that such campaigns should become a natural part of the day-to-day activity of the State Governments. It should become an essential part of the annual campaign of the state governments. And instead of waiting for the rains for such campaigns, it is very important to plan out everything before the rains. Friends, In this budget, the government has laid a lot of emphasis on the circular economy. Circular economy also plays a major role in the field of water conservation. When treated water is re-used, fresh water is conserved, it benefits the entire eco-system. That’s why water treatment and water recycling are essential. States plan to increase the use of ‘treated water’ in various works. One can make best income out of waste too. You need to map the local needs and the plans have to be prepared accordingly. We must note one more thing. Our rivers and water bodies are the most important part of the entire water ecosystem. To ensure that none of our rivers or water bodies are polluted by external factors, we have to create a network of waste management and sewage treatment in every state. For the re-use of treated water, we also need to pay attention to an effective system. Keeping the Namami Gange Mission as a template, other states can also start similar campaigns for conservation and rejuvenation of rivers. Friends, Water should become a subject of collaboration, coordination, and cooperation among the states. This is the responsibility of all of us. And there is another issue – urbanization is happening at a rapid pace. Our population is rapidly moving towards urbanization. Urban development is taking place at such a fast pace that we will have to think about water from this very moment. We must think of Sewage system and sewage treatment from this very moment. We need to be faster than the speed with which the cities are growing. I hope we share everyone’s ideas and experiences in this summit and hold a fruitful discussion. I hope that a definite action plan will be prepared and by making a resolution, you will move forward to achieve it. If every state ensures the welfare of the citizens of its state, while also emphasizing the duty of its citizens and prioritizing the government’s work towards water, I can say with confidence that this water conference holds a lot of expectations and promises. I wish you the very best.

At the outset, the Prime Minister expressed his deep anguish for the victims of the mishap in Morbi yesterday. He said that even though he is in Kevadia, his heart remains connected to the victims of the mishap in Morbi. “On one hand, there is a heart laden with grief, while on the other there is the path of Karma and Kartavya, he said. He underlined that it is the path of duty and responsibility that has led him here at the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas. The Prime Minister paid deep condolences to all those who lost their lives in yesterday’s mishap and assured that the government is standing shoulder to shoulder with the families of the victims. The state government has been engaging in rescue work and the central government is providing every possible assistance. The Prime Minister informed that NDRF teams have been deployed in rescue operations other than teams from the army and air force while assistance is also being provided to hospitals that are treating the injured. He also noted that the Chief Minister of Gujarat reached the Morbi to take the lead in executing rescue operations and formed a committee to investigate the occurrences. The Prime Minister assured the people of the country that there will be no shortcomings when it comes to rescue operations. The cultural programme segment of the event was cancelled in light of the tragedy. The Prime Minister underlined the significance of Ekta Diwas in 2022 as “it is the year when we completed 75 years of our Independence and we are moving ahead with new resolutions.” The Prime Minister said that unity is essential at every stage, be it family, society or nation. This feeling is manifested, he said, all over the country in the form of 75,000 Ekta Runs everywhere. “Entire country is drawing inspiration from the resolute determination of Sardar Patel. Every citizen is taking a pledge for the unity of the country and to evoke ‘Panch Pran’”, he said. The Prime Minister said, “It is difficult to imagine a situation if our Independence struggle was not led by leaders like Sardar Patel. What would have happened if more than 550 princely states were not amalgamated?” “What would have happened”, asked the Prime Minister, “if our Princely states would have not shown a deep sense of sacrifice and faith in Maa Bharati. This impossible task was completed by Sardar Patel”, he added. “Sardar Patel’s Jayanti and Ekta Diwas are not merely dates on the calendar for us, they are grand celebrations of India’s cultural strength. For India, Unity was never a compulsion, it was always a feature of our country. Unity has been our uniqueness”, the Prime Minister emphasised. He said in a calamity like the one that happened in Morbi yesterday, the entire country comes forward as one and people offer prayer and assistance from every part of the country. During the time of the pandemic, this unity was on full display in the emotional unison of ‘tali-thali’ to cooperation in medicine, ration and vaccine. The same emotions are witnessed during sporting successes, and festivals and when our borders are threatened and our soldiers protect them. All this, said the Prime Minister, symbolises the depth of India’s unity. This unity, he continued, was a thorn in the sides of invaders over the centuries and they tried to dilute it by sowing division, however, their designs were foiled by the nectar of unity that was a live stream in our consciousness. He asked everyone to remain vigilant as powers envious of India’s growth and progress are still active and efforts are on to foment division on the basis of caste, region, language and history too is presented in a divisive way. He also warned against the slave mentality, selfishness, appeasement, nepotism, greed and corruption that can divide and weaken the country. “We have to counter the poison of divisiveness with the Amrit of Unity”, he added. The Prime Minister remarked, “On the occasion of Ekta Diwas, I would like to reiterate the responsibility handed out by Sardar Saheb.” He said that it was the responsibility of the citizens to strengthen the unity of the nation and this will happen only if every citizen of the country readies themselves to carry out the duties with a sense of responsibility. “With this sense of responsibility, Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas will become a reality and India will move forward on the path of development,” the Prime Minister said. He stated that government policies are reaching every person in the country without any discrimination. Giving examples, the Prime Minister highlighted that free vaccines are made available to the people of Siang in Arunachal Pradesh as easily as the people in Surat, Gujarat. Medical institutions like AIIMS can now be found not just in Gorakhpur but also in Bilaspur, Darbhanga, Guwahati, Rajkot and other parts of the country as well. He informed that the development work of defence corridors is in full swing not just in Tamil Nadu but also in Uttar Pradesh. The Prime Minister noted that even though different languages are spoken in different areas, the government schemes are reaching every part of India while connecting the last person in the queue. Throwing light on how millions of people in our country waited for decades to avail basic needs, the Prime Minister said, “The smaller the gap between the infrastructure, the stronger the unity” He noted that India is working on the principle of saturation with the objective that the benefit of every scheme should reach every beneficiary. The Prime Minister gave examples of schemes like Housing for All, Digital Connectivity for All, Clean Cooking for All, and Electricity for All. The Prime Minister stated that the mission of reaching 100% citizens is not limited to similar facilities but stresses a common objective of united goals, united development and united effort. The Prime Minister highlighted that the basic necessities of life are becoming a medium for the common man’s faith in the country and the Constitution and are also acting as a medium for the confidence of the common man. Remarking on this is the vision of Sardar Patel’s India, the Prime Minister said, “Every Indian will have equal opportunities, and there will be a sense of equality. Today the country is witnessing that vision come true.” Recalling that in the last 8 years, the country has given priority to every segment which had been neglected for decades, the Prime Minister stated that the country has started the tradition of celebrating Tribal Pride Day to remember the pride of the tribals. In this regard, the Prime Minister informed that tribal museums are being built in many states of the country. The Prime Minister urged the countrymen to know the history of Mangarh Dham and Jambughoda and said that freedom was achieved in the face of many massacres carried out by foreign invaders. He added, “Only then will we be able to understand the value of freedom and the value of solidarity.” The Prime Minister remarked that Ekta Nagar is developing as a model city of India which will be unprecedented not only in the country but in the whole world. He underlined that it is the unity of the people and the city that is developing with the power of public participation while giving it not just a grand but a divine standpoint. “The inspiration for the world’s largest statue in the form of the Statue of Unity is among us”, Shri Modi added. Throwing light on the development model of Ekta Nagar, the Prime Minister said that city will be discussed when people will talk about an environment-friendly model, an electricity-saving model with LEDs illuminating the country, a model of clean transport system running on solar power, and a model of conservation of different species of animals and birds. The Prime Minister recalled yesterday when he got the opportunity to inaugurate the Miyawaki Forest and Maze Garden here. He underlined that the Ekta Mall, Ekta Nursery, World Forest showing Unity in Diversity, Ekta Ferry, Ekta Railway Station and all these initiatives are an inspiration to strengthen national unity. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister highlighted the role played by Sardar Saheb in the unity of the country post-independence. The Prime Minister informed that the royal families which held power for centuries dutifully sacrificed their rights to a new system for the unity of the country due to the efforts of Sardar Patel. This contribution has been neglected for decades after independence. “Now a museum dedicated to the sacrifice of those royal families will be built in Ekta Nagar. This will pass on the tradition of sacrifice for the unity of the country to the new generations”, the Prime Minister concluded. Background Guided by the vision of the Prime Minister, it was decided in 2014 to celebrate the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel viz. 31st October as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, to reinforce our dedication to preserve and strengthen the unity, integrity and security of the nation. The Prime Minister participated in the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas celebrations at the Status of Unity, Kevadia. The celebrations witnessed the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas Parade, which included contingents of BSF and of five State Police Forces, one each from the Northern Zone (Haryana), Western Zone (Madhya Pradesh), Southern Zone (Telangana), Eastern Zone (Odisha) and North Eastern Zone (Tripura). Apart from the contingents, six Police Sports Medal winners of the Commonwealth Games 2022 will also participate in the Parade.",কেৱাড়িয়াত ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় একতা দিৱস উদযাপনত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ অংশগ্ৰহ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/list-of-announcements-agreements-signed-between-india-and-japan-during-visit-of-prime-minister-to-japan/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0/,"Sl.

He prayed at the Kaal Bhairav Temple and Kashi Vishvanath Dham in Kashi. He also took a holy dip in river Ganga. Starting his address with pranam at the feet of ‘Nagar Kotwal’ (Lord Kaal Bhairav), the Prime Minister said nothing special happens without his blessings . The Prime Minister sought the lord’s blessings for the countrymen. The Prime Minister cited Puranas which say that as soon as one enters Kashi, one becomes free from all bondage. “Blessings of Lord Vishweshwara, a supernatural energy awakens our inner soul as soon as we come here”. He added that this whole new complex of Vishwanath Dham is not just a grand building. This is a symbol of the Sanatan culture of our India. It is a symbol of our spiritual soul. This is a symbol of India’s antiquity, traditions, India’s energy and dynamism. The Prime Minister said ‘when one comes here, they will see not only faith but will also feel the glory of the past here. How antiquity and novelty come alive together. How the inspirations of the ancient are giving direction to the future, We are witnessing this very vividly in Vishwanath Dham complex’, he added. The Prime Minister noted that earlier the temple area was only 3000 square feet which has now enlarged to about 5 lakh square feet. Now 50000 – 75000 devotees can visit the temple and temple premises. That is, first the darshan and bath in Maa Ganga, and from there directly to Vishwanath Dham, he informed. Dwelling on the glory of Kashi, the Prime Minister said that Kashi is imperishable and is under the patronage of the Lord Shiva. He expressed his gratitude to every worker in the construction of this grand complex. They did not let even Corona stop the work here. He met and felicitated the workers. Shri Modi had his lunch with the workers who worked for the construction of the Dham. The Prime Minister also lauded the artisans, people associated with the construction, administration and those families who had their homes here. Along with all this, he also congratulated the UP government, Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath, who toiled relentlessly to complete the Kashi Vishwanath Dham project. The Prime Minister said the invaders attacked this city, tried to destroy it. The city is witness to the history of Aurangzeb’s atrocities and his terror. Who tried to change civilization by the sword, Who tried to crush the culture with fanaticism. But the soil of this country is different from the rest of the world. If there is an Aurangzeb, said the Prime Minister, Shivaji is also there. If any Salar Masood comes, then brave warriors like King Suheldev make him taste the might of India’s unity. And even during the British era, the people of Kashi knew what happened to Hastings, said Shri Modi. The Prime Minister went on describing the grace and importance of Kashi. He remarked that Kashi is not a matter of mere words, it is a creation of sensations. Kashi is that – where awakening is life; Kashi is that – where death is also a festival; Kashi is that – where truth is the culture; Kashi is where love is tradition. He added that Varanasi is the city from where Jagadguru Shankaracharya got inspiration from the purity of Shri Dome Raja and resolved to unite the country in the thread of unity. This is the place where Goswami Tulsidas created a celestial creation like Ramcharitmanas with inspiration from Lord Shankar. The Prime Minister continued and said that Lord Buddha’s enlightenment was revealed to the world in Sarnath, here. For the betterment of the society, sages like Kabirdas appeared here. If there was a need to unite the society, then this Kashi became the center of the power of devotion of Sant Raidas, the Prime Minister added . The Prime Minister said Kashi is the land of four Jain Tirthankaras, the epitome of non-violence and austerity. From the integrity of King Harishchandra to the knowledge of Vallabhacharya, Ramanand ji. From Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Samarth Guru Ramdas to Swami Vivekananda, Madan Mohan Malaviya. The Holy land of Kashi has been home to sages, acharyas beyond count. The Prime Minister remarked that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj camehere. From Rani Lakshmi Bai to Chandrashekhar Azad, Kashi has been the karmbhoomi of many fighters. Talents like Bharatendu Harishchandra, Jaishankar Prasad, Munshi Premchand, Pandit Ravi Shankar, and Bismillah Khan are from this great city, he said. The Prime Minister said that dedication of Kashi Vishwanath Dham will give a decisive direction to India and will lead to a brighter future. This complex is a witness of our capability and our duty. With determination and concerted thought, nothing is impossible. The Prime Minister said “Indians have the power to make the unimaginable come true. We know tapasya, know penance and we know how to spend day and night for the country. No matter how big the challenge, we Indians can defeat it together”. The Prime Minister said today’s India is reviving its lost heritage. Here in Kashi, Mata Annapurna herself resides. He expressed happiness that the statue of Mother Annapurna, which was stolen from Kashi, has now been re-established in Kashi after a wait of a century. The Prime Minister said for him, God comes in the form of people and for him every Indian is a part of God. He asked for three resolutions from the people for the country – cleanliness, creation and continuous efforts for self-reliant India. The Prime Minister called cleanliness a way of life and called for people’s participation in this enterprise,especially in the Namami Gange Mission. The Prime Minister said the long period of slavery broke our confidence in such a way that we lost faith in our own creation. Today, from this thousand-year-old Kashi, I call upon every countryman – create with full confidence, innovate, do it in an innovative way. The Prime Minister said that the third resolution that needs to be taken today is to raise our efforts for self-reliant India. In this ‘Amrit Kaal’, in the 75th year of independence, we will have to work for what India will be like when India celebrates a hundred years of independence, The Prime Minister Concluded .",বাৰানসীত ‘শ্ৰী কাশী বিশ্বনাথ ধাম’ উদ্বোধন কৰিলে প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-the-signing-and-ratification-of-mou-for-establishment-of-the-bimstec-grid-interconnection/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%95-%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the proposal of the Ministry of Power for Signing of “Memorandum of Understanding for Establishment of the BIMSTEC Grid Interconnection”.

Impact This MoU will provide a broad framework for the Parties to cooperate towards the implementation of grid interconnections for the trade in electricity with a view to promoting rational and optimal power transmission in the BIMSTEC region. This MoU will facilitate: the optimization of using the energy resources in the region for mutual benefits on non-discriminatory basis subject to laws, rules and regulations of the respective Parties; the promotion of efficient, economic, and secure operation of power system needed through the development of regional electricity networks; the necessity of optimization of capital investment for generation capacity addition across the region; and power exchange through cross border interconnections.",বিমষ্টেক ৰাষ্ট্রসমূহক গ্রিডৰ জৰিয়তে আন্তঃসংযোগ স্থাপনৰ লক্ষ্যৰে বুজাবুজি চুক্তি আৰু আনুষ্ঠানিক স্বীকৃতিৰ প্ৰস্তাৱত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-participates-in-gujarat-gaurav-abhiyan-at-vadodara/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE/,"Inaugurates and lays foundation stone of development projects worth Rs 21,000 crores Inauguration and foundation stone of over 1.4 lakh houses under PM Awas Yojana Major boost to railway connectivity in the region through projects worth over Rs 16,000 crores Launches ‘Mukhyamantri Matrushakti Yojana’ with an outlay of Rs 800 crores “Rapid development of women and their empowerment is equally important for the rapid development of 21st century India” “Today India is making plans and taking decisions keeping in mind the needs and aspirations of women” “Vadodara is a city of Sanskaras. This city takes care of those who come here in every way” “We have tried to give more opportunities in the decision making space and promote women in Gujarat at every level” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today participated in Gujarat Gaurav Abhiyan at Vadodara today. He inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of development projects worth Rs 21,000 crores. Beneficiaries, Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, Union and State Ministers, People’s representatives and other dignitaries were among those present on the occasion. At the outset the Prime MInister said that today, for him, is a day of Matru Vandana (mother worship). He started his day by seeking blessings from his mother who entered her 100th year today. After that, he inaugurated the redeveloped temple of Shree Kalika Mata at Pavagadh Hill, where he prayed for the country and asked the goddess for strength to serve the country and realisation of the country’s pledges in the Amrit Kaal. He then bowed to the vast ‘Matru Shakti’ present on the occasion. Noting the 21000 crore rupees worth projects of today’s programme, the Prime Minister said that these projects will give strength to the conception of India’s development through Gujarat’s development. He said that this huge investment in maternal health, houses for the poor, connectivity and higher education will give a boost to the industrial development of Gujarat. Many of these projects, he said, are related to the health, nutrition and empowerment of women. He said today, the efforts of the double engine government to make women empowerment the fulcrum of development got a new push by the blessings of Maa Kalika. “Rapid development of women, their empowerment is equally important for the rapid development of 21st century India. Today India is making plans and taking decisions keeping in mind the needs and aspirations of women”, he said while recognizing many familiar faces in the gathering. The Prime MInister said that opportunities have been thrown open in all the sectors for women and the government has made schemes for the empowerment of women keeping in mind every phase of their life cycle. “Vadodara is a suitable city for the celebration of matru shakti because it is a city giving sanskars like a mother. Vadodara is a city of Sanskaras.This city takes care of those who come here in every way, supports them in happiness and sorrow and gives opportunities to move forward.” This city, said the Prime Minister, has inspired personalities like Swami Vivekananda, Maharishi Arvind, Vinoba Bhave and Babasaheb Ambedakar.

Highlighting the growing representation of women in India, the Prime Minister said that women power has become the differentiating factor between the India of the last century and the new India of this century. “In today’s new India, the flag of women’s power is flying from Panchayat Bhawan to Rashtrapati Bhavan”, Shri Modi added. He noted that in the recent Panchayat election 17 thousand women got elected to Panchayat bodies. This is a sign of a big change, he said. The Prime Minister recalled the contribution of women in the freedom struggle and security of the nation. He lauded the role of women and SHGs in the recent Har Ghar Tiranga campaign and their efforts during the corona period. He said over time ‘Self Help Groups’ turn into ‘Nation help Groups’. The Prime Minister remarked that the success of any sector is directly linked with the increase in the representation of women. A fine example of this model is the success of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, a women-led initiative. Similarly, 7 crore households have got piped water connections in India during the last three years and out of which 40 lakh families are from Madhya Pradesh. The Prime Minister credited the women of India for this success. The Prime Minister highlighted that in the last 8 years, the government has taken numerous steps to empower the Self Help Groups. “Today more than 8 crore sisters across the country are associated with this campaign. Our goal is that at least one sister from every rural family should join this campaign”, Shri Modi remarked. Throwing light on the ‘One District, One Product’ initiative, the Prime Minister said that it is an effort to take the local products from every district to the big markets. Shri Modi said that the government is working continuously to create new possibilities for women entrepreneurs in the village economy. He informed that SHGs have sold products worth 500 crores in the markets created especially for their products. The benefits of PM Van Dhan Yojna and PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana are also reaching women. He also informed about ‘Saras’ space for the product of SHG on the GeM portal. The Prime Minister highlighted that India has made tremendous efforts to reach out to the United Nations and thereby declare the year 2023 as the year of coarse cereals which is to be celebrated internationally. The Prime Minister also recalled that the month of September is being celebrated as Nutrition Month in the country. The Prime Minister informed that he ensures that at least one item prepared with coarse cereals should be part of the menu for visiting foreign dignitaries. Recalling the efforts of the government since 2014, the Prime Minister said that the country has continuously worked towards enhancing the dignity of women and solving the challenges faced by them on a daily basis. Shri Modi recalled how women faced extreme difficulty with issues related to the absence of toilets and the troubles caused by the smoke coming from the wood in the kitchen. The Prime Minister expressed delight that their lives have been made easier with the construction of more than 11 crore toilets in the country, providing gas connections to more than 9 crore families and providing water from the tap to crores of families in the remotest parts of India. He informed that under the Matru Vandana Yojana, 11000 crore rupees have been directly transferred to the accounts of expecting mothers. Mothers in Madhya Pradesh also got 1300 crore rupees under the scheme. He also noted the growing role of women in the financial decision-making of households. Talking about the Jan Dhan bank accounts, the Prime Minister said that it has become a huge medium of women empowerment in the country. The Prime Minister was quick to recall that during the corona period, it was the power of the Jan Dhan bank accounts that enabled the government to safely and directly transfer the money into the bank accounts of women. “Today, the names of women are attached in the houses received under PM Awas Yojana. Our government has enabled more than 2 crore women in the country to become house owners. Under the Mudra scheme, till now a loan of Rs 19 lakh crore has been given to small businesses and businesses across the country. About 70 per cent of this money has been received by women entrepreneurs. I am happy that due to such efforts of the government, the role of women in the economic decisions of the household is increasing today”, he said. The Prime Minister remarked, “The economic empowerment of women empowers them equally in society.” Underlining how the daughters of India are now enrolling in Sainik Schools, becoming Police Commandos and joining the Army, the Prime Minister credited the government for opening up closed doors and creating new opportunities for them. Drawing everyone’s attention to the noticeable changes in every field in the last 8 years, the Prime Minister expressed great pride in informing everyone that the number of women in the police force across the country has doubled from 1 lakh to more than 2 lakhs. The Prime Minister also highlighted that more than 35 thousand of our daughters are now part of the Central Forces and battling out against the enemies of the country. “This number is almost double what it was 8 years ago”, the Prime Minister added, “I have full faith in your strength. With Sabka Prayas, we will surely be successful in making a better society and a strong nation.” Governor of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Mangubhai Patel, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Union Ministers Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia and Dr Virendra Kumar, and Union Ministers of State, Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste and Shri Prahlad Patel were those present on the occasion. Background The Sammelan is witness to the attendance of thousands of women Self Help Group (SHG) members/community resource persons that are being promoted under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM).

Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Ms Shobha Karandlaje represented India at the opening ceremony in Rome and read out the Prime Minister’s message to the august gathering. It is the Prime Minister’s vision and initiative that led to the United Nations General Assembly declaring the year 2023 ‘International Year of Millets’ with support from more than 70 nations across the globe. It will help in creating awareness throughout the world about the significant role of millets in sustainable agriculture and its benefits as a smart and superfood. The Prime Minister congratulated the United Nations and the Food and Agriculture Organisation for the launch of the International Year of Millets 2023 and expressed appreciation to member nations for their support in marking the International Year of Millets. Informing that millets are among the earliest crops grown by humans and have been an important source of nutrients, the Prime Minister emphasized making it a food choice for the future. Highlighting the challenges of food security, the Prime Minister mentioned the once-in-a-century pandemic and the arising conflicts around the world.

Marking that a global movement related to millets is an important step in the direction of food security, the Prime Minister informed that millets are easy to grow, climate resilient and drought resistant. He further added that millets are a rich source of balanced nutrition, compatible with natural ways of farming and need less water. The Prime Minister remarked, “Millets are good for the consumer, cultivator and climate.” Stressing the need for diversity on the land and at the dining table, the Prime Minister informed that our health is impacted if agriculture becomes monoculture and pointed out that millets are a good way to increase agricultural and dietary diversity. While concluding his message, the Prime Minister touched upon raising awareness to create ‘Millet Mindfulness’ and highlighted the tremendous role that institutions and individuals can play. He added that while institutional mechanisms can encourage the production of millets and make it profitable via policy initiatives, individuals can make health-conscious and planet-friendly choices by making millets a part of their diet. The Prime Minister’s message on the occasion can be found below: “I would like to congratulate the United Nations and the Food and Agriculture Organisation for the launch of the International Year of Millets 2023. I also express my appreciation to the different member nations who supported our proposal to mark the International Year of Millets. Millets have a glorious history of being among the earliest crops grown by humans. They have been an important food source in the past. But the need of the hour is to make them a food choice for the future! A once-in-a-century pandemic followed by a conflict situation has shown that food security is still a concern for the planet. Climate change can also impact food availability. At such a time, a global movement related to millets is an important step, since they are easy to grow, climate resilient and drought resistant. Millets are good for the consumer, cultivator and climate. They are a rich source of balanced nutrition for consumers. They benefit cultivators and our environment since they need lesser water and are compatible with natural ways of farming. There is a need for diversity on the land and on our tables. If agriculture becomes monoculture, it impacts our health and the health of our lands. Millets are a good way to increase agricultural and dietary diversity. Raising awareness to create ‘Millet Mindfulness’ is an important part of this movement. Both institutions and individuals can make a tremendous impact. While institutional mechanisms can encourage production of millets and make it profitable via policy initiatives, individuals can make health-conscious and planet-friendly choices by making millets a part of their diet. I am positive that the International Year of Millets 2023 will start a mass movement towards a secure, sustainable and healthy future.” Background The United Nations General Assembly has declared the year 2023 ‘International Year of Millets’. It is the Prime Minister’s vision and initiative that led to this United Nations Resolution being adopted with support from more than 70 nations across the globe. It will help in creating awareness throughout the world about the significant role of millets in sustainable agriculture and its benefits as a smart and superfood. India is poised to become the global hub for millets with a production of more than 170 lakh tonnes which makes for more than 80 % of the millets produced in Asia. The earliest evidence for these grains has been found in the Indus civilization and was one of the first plants to be domesticated for food. It is grown in about 131 countries and is the traditional food for around 60 crore people in Asia & Africa. The Government of India has declared to celebrate IYOM, 2023 to make it a people’s movement so that the Indian millets, recipes, and value-added products are accepted globally. The ‘International Year of Millets’ stands to provide a unique opportunity to increase global production, ensure efficient processing and consumption, promote better utilization of crop rotations and encourage better connectivity throughout food systems to promote millets as a key component of the food basket. The FAO in a brief message said that the Opening Ceremony of the International Year of Millets (IYM) 2023 hosted by the FAO aims to raise awareness and create momentum for the IYM 2023 by engaging FAO Members and other relevant stakeholders and highlighting the benefits of promoting the sustainable cultivation and consumption of millets.",ইটালীৰ ৰোমত অৱস্থিত এফ এ অ’ৰ মুখ্য কাৰ্যালয়ত আয়োজিত ‘ইণ্টাৰনেচনেল ইয়েৰ অৱ মিলেট’ৰমুকলি অনুষ্ঠানৰ সময়ত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী বাৰ্ত https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pms-meeting-with-pm-of-japan/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B8-2/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi held a bilateral meeting today with H.E.

A bond of kinship and when you will be meeting from the cadets from other states then you would be surprised to know about their uniqueness and their diversity. You will leave this place with so much curiosity that you will feel like that as a citizen of India the more you know the country, the more you know about every corner of the country, the more you know India’s diversity the more you feel one with the country. The seed of this value systemis naturally sown within us in every NCC camp. It seems to us that we are participating in the parade, it seems like that we have come here wearing the uniform, it seems like that we are preparing for Raj Path but we don’t even realise when we start cherishing this massive India within us; how do we become so full of the country. We don’t even know that how do we develop a strong feeling to do something for India? Such an eco system, such an environment that makes us think about the country, think about its future and our role, our duties in this thing every single moment. We are going to go back after getting inspiration for all these things. NCC cadets participating in the parade at Raj Path and those who did not get the opportunity to participate in the parade or being seen on the Raj Path, those who work in the background, those who labored extremely hard for a month, for every such person, the guests from 10 countries, the entire country and Indian Diaspora spread across the world takes pride in every step taken by you people. They were proud of the every step taken by you and they felt that our country was marching ahead when you people were taking your steps. When you showed your extreme courage then every countrymen felt that the courage of the country was going to the top. This environment, this atmosphere should not be confined to this place only. The real test begins after that. NCC is known for its discipline and unity. NCC is not a mechanism. NCC is a mission. NCC is not just anuniform or uniformity but it is unity in true sense of the word.And therefore with this feeling…eventually why this parade, this camp, this discipline, this hard work is aimed at achieving what? Why all these things? Why the money of the poorest of the poor person of the country is being spent on all these things? This is being invested so that this kind of nucleus, this kind of individuals continue to be created within the country with a mission mode thatcontinue to inspire others, so that the determination of the country continues to increase and that is why in a way it’s an effort to develop the lives and develop the country through those developed lives. If we leave all these things here and these memories are going to be used just for sharing them with friends for the rest of life then something is missing. We should take pride in the fact that after the independence of the country the NCC act was enacted before the enactment of rules and regulation for the armed forces. Nation building was linked with the young generation of the country and given priority over security of the nation. Today, NCC has completed 70 years. The journey of seven decades, and millions and millions of NCC cadets like me moved on the path of life by receiving the values of patriotism. Friends, we get a sense of mission from NCC. On the completion of 70 years of NCC the time demands that we should take a look at these things like: where we came from, where we have come and where we want to take the country. What should be the form of this NCC and what are the new things that should be added in the NCC? What should be its expanse? I would call upon the people related to these subjects that they should prepare an outline for a mission when NCC completes 75 years of its existence and we should made that mission for taking NCC to such heights that there should be something new in every corner of the country, it should bring about some changes, it should give rise to the feeling of pride due to the functioning of NCC and due to the working of NCC cadets. Today, when we are completing 70 years then we should prepare a mission for 75 years with this resolve. I don’t believe that any youth of my country is willing to tolerate corruption. The society has a feeling of hatred against corruption. But why should we restrict ourselves to just have the feeling of hatred against corruption, why should we just express our anguish and anger against corruption? Will this thing be enough? Then we will have to continue to wage this battle for a prolonged period, it is not going to stop. This fight against corruption, this fight against black money is aimed at making the future of the youth of my country. And if the future of the youth of my country is secured then it is going to make the future of our country. But, I, Prime Minister of this country want to ask something from the Indian youth, I want to ask something from NCC cadets. I know that you will never disappoint me. The youth of my country will not disappoint me. I am neither going to ask for votes nor am I going to ask your help so that we can progress on political front. If I want your help, the help of youth of my country, then I want your help for setting this country free from this corruption which is like a termite. You might feel that what you could do. At best, you might decide that: we will not bribe anyone or at best we will not accept any bribe. You will do that in any case but this will not be sufficient. There is one thing, one task and if you make a pledge, if you make a rule that every year you would associate at least 100 new families with this thing, then what is that thing. If accountability is there, if transparency is there, then there is an automatic change in the situation. Can you make a pledge that wherever we go for purchasing things, wherever there is an exchange of money, then we will not do it in cash, all of us have become mobile users. Whether we will download the BHIM App and make every purchase through BHIM App? And whether you will insist on using the BHIM App at the shop from where you purchase things, whichever store or mall you may be visiting, whether you will insist on using it or not? You must do it. Please develop a habit of this thing. You will see this kind of transparency will be there, fixing accountability will become so easy and we will be able to take strong steps in the direction of making a corruption free India. And it can’t be done without the help of my youth. If my NCC cadets take up this task on a mission mode then no one will have courage to drag the country towards corruption. Even if an extremely corrupt person succeeds in occupying a high office even then he will be forced to follow the path of honesty. Sometimes there was a lot of despair in the country that lofty things are discussed against the corruption but nothing could be done against powerful people. Today, you people have been passing through such a period, you are passing through such a time that at least three chief ministers are behind bars due to corruption. Who can say that there is no God, who can say that there is no justice in the house of God? Now there is no one to protect them. And that is why today I would like say this thing before the NCC cadets, and through them to the NCC cadets across the country and be it the youth of NSS or be it the youth of Nehru Youth Centre and be it the students of schools and colleges or be it the youth of the country who live and die for the country, I seek your help. Please come forward and join me in this fight as a soldier. Please come forward, by working together if we will rid the country of this termite then we will be able to win the fight for providing the rights of the poor people of the country. If we eradicate these evils then it benefits the most to the poor people of the country. When the money is spent in the proper manner then a poor household gets the affordable medicine. When the money is spent in the proper manner then it creates the facilities for providing good schools, good teachers to the children of a poor person. When the money is spent in the proper way then the roads are being laid up to villages, when the money is properly utilized then an opportunity for doing something for the oppressed, exploited and excluded people of the country is created. And dear youth of my country that is why the discussion about Aadhaar that you people get to hear these days, those people who are aware about the world of technology, who are aware about the changing times they know that this data is going to be a very powerful thing in the world in the coming days. That day is not far away when the country which will have data will be considered powerful. In the digital world, in the world of data, Aadhaar has given a big reason to India to take pride in this field. And now due to Aadhaar those benefits which should accrue to poor people, to common man but were earlier siphoned off into wrong hands; that was also a method of corruption. The girl that never born used to grow up into an adult, marry and become widow in the records of a government office and widow pension was paid to her from the government exchequer. This kind of business was going on but now the legitimate claimants could be identified due to Aadhaar and they have started getting their rights due to direct transfer of benefits. And youth of my country, this has been implemented in some schemes, at present it’s not 100%, it’s just a start but because of it around Rs.60,000 crore has been saved which was siphoned off into wrong hands. All this is possible. And therefore my youth should move forward in the direction of a cashless society with the mantra of less cash and by optimally using the BHIM App for all the selling and purchasing and even if we need to pay the fee then we will pay it through BHIM App. Then you will see how the changes will come about in the country. My young friends, you people have got a good experience in the life. You people have got the opportunity to experience the country by living with the people from all corners of the country in a very short span of time. You people got that feeling; you got a new touch of India. With this new spirit, with this new resolve, with this new aspiration, all of us should collectively move forward with a solemn pledge to make a New India. We should take the country forward, we should make a New India with the strength to fulfill the dreams of our freedom fightersby 2022 when India will celebrate 75 years of its independence. My best wishes to all of you. Thank you.","ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় কেডেট ক’ৰ সমাবেশত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণ, ২৮ জানুৱাৰী, ২০১৮" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-nikhat-zareen-for-winning-the-gold-medal-in-womens-50kg-boxing-at-cwg-2022/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A8-%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Nikhat Zareen for winning the Gold medal in Women’s 50kg Boxing at Commonwealth Games, 2022.

M.V. Shreyams Kumar ji, The entire team and readers of Mathrubhumi, Distinguished guests, Namaskaram! I am glad to be addressing this programme to mark the centenary celebrations of Mathrubhumi. On this occasion, my greetings to those associated with this newspaper. I also recall the contributions of those who have previously worked in this media house. Several leading lights such as Shri K. P. Kesava Menon, K. A. Damodar Menon, Kerala Gandhi Shri K. Kelappan andKururNeelakantan Namboodiripad, have been associated with Mathrubhumi. I would like to remember M.P. Veerendra Kumar, who oversaw the rapid growth of Mathrubhumi. We will never forget his efforts to uphold India’s democratic ethos during the Emergency. He was a great orator, scholar and was passionate about the environment. Friends, Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals, Mathrubhumi was born to strengthen India’s freedom struggle. Mathrubhumi is a key part of the glorious tradition of newspapers and journals founded all across India to unify the people of our nation against colonial rule. If we look back at our history, several greats have been associated with some or the other paper. Lokmanya Tilak nurtured Kesari and Mahratta. Gopal Krishna Gokhale was associated with Hitavada. Prabuddha Bharat was associated with Swami Vivekananda. When we remember Mahatma Gandhi, we also remember his works in Young India, Navjivan and Harijan. Shyamji Krishna Varma edited The Indian Sociologist. I have just given a few examples. The list is endless. Friends, If Mathrubhumi was born during India’s freedom movement, the centenary celebrations are taking place when India is marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. We did not have the opportunity to sacrifice our lives during the freedom struggle for Swarajya. However, this Amrit Kaal gives us the opportunity to work towards a strong, developed and inclusive India. For any nation to develop, making good policies is one aspect. But, to enable the policies to succeed and to ensure that large scale transformation takes place, active participation from all walks of society is needed. For that the media plays a critical role. In these years gone by, I have seen the positive impact the media can play. The example of the Swachh Bharat Mission is well known. Every media house took up this mission with great sincerity. Like-wise, the media has played a very encouraging role in popularising Yoga, fitness and BetiBachaoBetiPadhao. These are subjects beyond the domain of politics and political parties. They are about making a better nation in the coming years. In addition to this, there is more that can be done keeping in mind Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. These days we are seeing that people are highlighting lesser known events of the freedom struggle and unsung freedom fighters. The media can be a great means to further amplify this. In the same way, every town or village has places associated with the freedom movement. Not much is known about them. We could highlight those places and encourage people to visit them. Can we encourage the up-coming writers from non-media backgrounds and give them a platform to showcase their writing skills? One of India’s biggest strengths is our diversity. Can we think about making key words of other languages popular through your media properties? Friends, In today’s day and age, the world has many expectations from India. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit our shores, it was speculated that India would not be able to manage things well. The people of India proved these critics wrong. We used the last two years to improve the health of our society and the health of our economy. For two years, 80 crore people got access to free ration. 180 crore doses of vaccines have been administered. In a time, when many nations are unable to overcome vaccine hesitancy, the people of India have shown the way. Powered by India’s talented youth, our nation is moving towards aatmnirbharta or self-reliance. At the core of this principle is to make India an economic power-house that caters to domestic and global needs. Unprecedented reforms were brought in, which will boost economic progress. Production Linked Incentive Schemes were introduced in different sectors to encourage local enterprise. India’s start-up eco-system has never been more vibrant. Youngsters from tier-2, tier-3 towns and villages are doing excellent work. Today, India is leading the world in the field of technological advancement. In just the past 4 years, the number of UPI transactions have increased over 70 times. This shows the eagerness of our people to embrace positive changes. Friends, We fully understand the importance of next generation infrastructure. Rupees 110 Lakh crore are being spent on a National Infrastructure Pipeline. PM Gatishakti is going to make infra creation and governance more seamless. We are actively working to ensure every village of India has high-speed internet connectivity. The guiding principle of our efforts is to ensure the future generations lead a better lifestyle than the present ones. Friend, Years ago, when Mahatma Gandhi visited Mathrubhumi he had said and I quote: Mathrubhumi is an institution that has stood firmly on its own feet. Only can a few newspapers in India do this. Hence amongst the newspapers of India, the Mathrubhumi has a unique position. Unquote. I am confident Mathrubhumi will live up to these words of Bapu. I once again congratulate Mathrubhumi for their centenary celebrations and convey my best wishes to the readers. Thank You. Jai Hind.

This is fifth webinar in the series of post budget webinars addressed by the Prime Minister. Union Ministers, healthcare professionals from public and private sectors, and professionals from para-medics, nursing, health management, technology and research were present on the occasion. At the outset, the Prime Minister congratulated the health sector for successfully running the world’s largest vaccination campaign that has established the efficiency and mission oriented nature of India’s healthcare system. The Prime Minister said that the Budget builds upon the efforts to reform and transform the healthcare sector that have been undertaken during the last 7 years. “We have adopted a holistic approach in our healthcare system. Today our focus is not only on health, but equally on wellness”, he emphasized. The Prime Minister elaborated on three factors that underline the efforts of making the health sector holistic and inclusive. Firstly, expansion of modern medical science related infrastructure and human resources. Secondly, promotion of research in the traditional Indian medical systems like Ayush and their active engagement in the healthcare system. Thirdly, providing affordable healthcare to every citizen and every region of the country via modern and futuristic technology. “It is our endeavor that critical healthcare facilities should be at the block level, at the district level, near the villages. This infrastructure needs to be maintained and upgraded from time to time. For this the private sector and other sectors will also have to come forward with more energy”, he added. The Prime Minister informed that in order to strengthen the primary healthcare network, work on 1.5 lakh Health and Wellness Centers is also progressing at a brisk pace. Till now more than 85000 centers are providing the facility of routine checkup, vaccination and tests. In this budget, the facility of mental healthcare has also been added to them, he said. On enhancing the medical human resources, the Prime Minister said “as the demand for healthcare services is increasing, we are also trying to create skilled health professionals accordingly. Therefore, a significant hike is made in the budget for health education and human resource development related to healthcare as compared to last year.” The Prime Minister called upon the healthcare community to work with a set time frame on the task of taking these reforms forward with the help of technology with a focus on improving quality of medical education and making that more inclusive and affordable. On the factor of modern and futuristic technologies in the medical field, the Prime Minister lauded the platforms like CoWin that have established India’s reputation in the world with regard to digital health solutions. Similarly, he said, Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission provides an easy interface between the consumer and healthcare provider. “With this, both getting and giving treatment in the country will become very easy. Not only this, it will also facilitate global access to India’s quality and affordable healthcare system”, said the Prime Minister about the benefits of Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission. The Prime Minister dwelled on positive role of remote healthcare and telemedicine during the pandemic. He stressed the role of these technologies in reducing health access divide between urban and rural India. Mentioning the upcoming 5G network and optical fiber network project for every village, the Prime Minister asked the Private sectors to come forward to increase their partnership. He also emphasized the promotion of drone technology for medical purposes. The Prime Minister noted the growing global acceptance of Ayush and exuded pride in the fact that WHO is going to start its only Global Center of Traditional Medicine in India. “Now it is up to all of us how to create better solutions of AYUSH for ourselves and for the world as well”, he added.",স্বাস্থ্য আৰু পৰিয়াল কল্যাণ মন্ত্ৰালয়ৰ বাজেট পৰৱৰ্তী ৱেবিনাৰ উদ্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-the-passing-away-of-legendary-kathak-dancer-pandit-birju-maharaj/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the passing away of legendary Kathak dancer Pandit Birju Maharaj.

After arriving at the venue, the Prime Minister performed Dhuni Darshan and paid floral tributes to the statue of Govind Guru. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said that it is always inspiring to be in the holy land of Mangarh which is a symbol of tapasya, sacrifice, bravery and sacrifice of our tribal bravehearts. “Mangarh is a shared heritage of the people of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat”, he said. The Prime Minister paid tributes to Govind Guru whose death Anniversary fell on 30th October. As the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the Prime Minister recalled serving the region of Mangarh which is part of Gujarat and informed that Govind Guru spent the last years of his life here, and his energy and knowledge can still be felt in the soil of this land. The Prime Minister remembered that the entire area which was a barren land earlier got transformed with greenery after he urged everyone via the platform of Van Mahotsav. The Prime Minister thanked the Tribal Community for selflessly working for the campaign. The Prime Minister said that the development not only resulted in an improvement of the life quality of the local people but also led to the propagation of the teachings of Govind Guru. “Great freedom fighters like Govind Guru were the representative of India’s tradition and ideals”, the Prime Minister continued “Govind Guru lost his family but never lost his heart and made every tribal person his family.” If Govind Guru fought against Britishers for the rights of the tribal community, the Prime Minister pointed out, he also campaigned against the ills of his own community as he was a social reformer, spiritual leader, a saint and a leader. His intellectual and philosophical aspect was as vibrant as his courage and social activism, the Prime Minister said. Remembering the massacre of 17th November 1913 in Mangarh, the Prime Minister remarked that it was an example of extreme cruelty by British rule in India. Shri Modi said, “On one hand we had the innocent tribals who were seeking independence while on the other hand, it was the British colonial rulers who after surrounding the hills of Mangarh, massacred more than one thousand five hundred innocent men, women, elderly and children in broad daylight.” The Prime Minister interjected that due to unfortunate circumstances, such a significant and impactful event of the freedom struggle could not find its place in the history books. The Prime Minister exclaimed, “In this Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, India is filling this void and correcting the mistakes that were made decades ago.” The Prime Minister emphasised that “India’s past, history, present and India’s future will never be complete without the tribal community. Every page of the story of our freedom struggle is filled with tribal valour.” The Prime Minister recalled glorious struggles that date back to as early as the 1780s when Santhal Sangram was fought under the leadership of Tilka Manjhi. He mentioned 1830-32 when the country witnessed Larka Andolan under the leadership of Budhu Bhagat. In 1855 Sidhu-Kanhu Kranti energised the nation. Bhagwan Birsa Munda inspired everyone with his energy and patriotism. “You will not find any patch of time starting from the beginning of slavery centuries ago, till the 20th century when the flame of Azadi was not kept ablaze by the tribal community”, the Prime Minister said. He mentioned Alluri Sitarama Raju in Andhra Pradesh. In Rajasthan, even before that, the Adivasi Samaj stood with Maharana Pratap. “We are indebted to the tribal community and their sacrifice. This samaj has preserved India’s character in nature, environment, culture and traditions. Today is the time for the nation to thank them by serving them”, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister informed that on 15th November, the country is going to celebrate Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas on the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda. “The Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas is an endeavour to educate the masses about the history of tribals in the freedom struggle”, he said. Shri Modi noted that special museums dedicated to tribal freedom fighters are being built across the country to take the history of tribal society to the masses. He further added that this grand legacy will now become a part of the thought process and provide inspiration for the younger generations. The Prime Minister expressed the need to work with a dedicated spirit to extend the role of tribal society in the country. He highlighted that the country is working with clear policies to serve the diverse tribal society in all parts of the country ranging from Rajasthan and Gujarat to Northeast and Orissa. The Prime Minister highlighted that the tribal population is being provided water and electricity connections, education and health services, and employment opportunities through Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana. “Today, forest cover is also increasing in the country and resources are being protected” he continued, “At the same time, tribal areas are also being connected with Digital India.” The Prime Minister also mentioned Eklavya residential schools that provide opportunities for modern education to tribal youth along with traditional skills. The Prime Minister also informed that he will be heading to Jambughoda to inaugurate the grand administrative campus of the university named after Govind Guru Ji. The Prime Minister recalled that only last evening he flagged off a train on Ahmedabad-Udaipur broad gauge line. He underlined the importance of the 300 km line for the people of Rajasthan as it will connect many tribal areas of Gujarat with the tribal areas of Rajasthan and will give a push to the industrial development and employment in these regions. Throwing light on the discussion about the total development of Mangarh Dham, the Prime Minister expressed a strong desire for the grand expansion of Mangarh Dham. The Prime Minister requested the four state governments of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra to work together and have a detailed discussion about preparing a roadmap so that this memorial site of Govind Guru Ji finds a place on the world map. “I am sure that the development of Mangarh Dham will make this area a place of inspiration for the new generation”, the Prime Minister concluded. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Shri Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Governor of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Mangubhai Patel, Union Minister of State for Culture, Shri Arjun Ram Meghawal, Union Minister of State for Rural Development, Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste, Members of Parliament, MLAs were those present on occasion among others Background As part of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, the government has initiated several steps to celebrate unsung tribal heroes of the freedom struggle. These include declaring 15th November (birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda) as ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Divas’, setting up tribal museums across the country etc to recognise the contribution of tribal people to society and increase awareness about their sacrifices in the freedom struggle. In yet another step in this direction, the Prime Minister attended a public programme – ‘Mangarh Dham ki Gaurav Gatha’ at Mangarh Hill, Banswara, Rajasthan, to pay homage to the sacrifices of the unsung tribal heroes and martyrs of the freedom struggle. During the programme, the Prime Minister paid homage to Bhil freedom fighter Shri Govind Guru and also addressed a gathering of Bhil Adivasis and other tribal populations of the region. Mangarh Hill holds special importance for the Bhil community and other tribes of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. During the freedom struggle where Bhils and other tribes engaged in a long stand-off with the British, more than 1.5 lakh Bhils rallied at Mangarh Hill on 17th November 1913 under the leadership of Shri Govind Guru. Britishers opened fire at this gathering, leading to Mangarh Massacre where approximately 1500 tribals were martyred.",‘মংগৰ ধাম কী গৌৰৱ গাথা’ৰ ৰাজহুৱা অনুষ্ঠানত অংশগ্ৰহণ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-signing-of-bilateral-memorandum-of-understanding-mou-between-securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-and-financial-regulatory-commission-mongolia/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%89%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9E%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9C/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved the proposal for signing a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Financial Regulatory Commission, Mongolia (FRC). Major impact: FRC, like SEBI, is a co-signatory to International Organization of Securities Commissions’ Multilateral MoU (IOSCO MMoU). However, the IOSCO MMoU does not have under its scope the provision for technical assistance. The proposed bilateral MoU would, in addition to contributing towards strengthening the information sharing framework leading to effective enforcement of securities laws, also help in establishing a technical assistance programme. The technical assistance programme would benefit the Authorities by way of consultations on matters relating to capital markets, capacity building activities and training programmes for the staff. Background: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was established under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 to regulate the securities markets in India. The objectives of the SEBI are to protect the interest of the investors and to regulate and promote development of securities markets in India. Clause (ib) under sub-section (2) of Section 11 of SEBI Act, 2002 empowers SEBI to call for information from, or furnishing information to, other authorities, whether in India or outside India, having functions similar to those of the Board, in the matters relating to the prevention or detection of violations in respect of securities laws, subject to the provisions of other laws. For furnishing any information to any authority outside India, SEBI may enter into an arrangement or agreement or understanding with such authority with the prior approval of the Central Government. In this backdrop, FRC has requested SEBI to sign a bilateral MoU for mutual cooperation and technical assistance. Until now, SEBI has signed 27 bilateral MoUs with capital market regulators of other countries. Established in 2006, the Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC) is a parliamentary authority mandated to supervise and regulate the non-bank sector; including the insurance and securities markets, and participants of the microfinance sector. The FRC is responsible for providing stable and sound financial markets. The Commission exercises power over non-bank financial institutions, insurance companies and intermediaries, securities firms, and savings and credit cooperatives. At the same time, it ensures the rights of individual financial market clients (securities holders, domestic and foreign investors, and insurance policyholders) and protects against financial malpractices.",ছিকিউৰিটী এণ্ড এক্সচেঞ্জ বোৰ্ড অফ ইণ্ডিয়া আৰু মংগোলীয়াৰ বিত্তীয় নিয়ামক আয়োগৰ মাজত দ্বিপাক্ষিক বুজাবুজি চুক্তি স্বাক্ষৰৰ প্ৰস্তাৱত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-release-of-additional-instalment-of-dearness-allowance-to-central-government-employees-and-dearness-relief-to-pensioners-due-from-01-07-2022/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE/,"The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has approved the release of additional instalment of Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief @ 4% to Central Government employees and pensioners due from 01.07.2022 based on the percentage increase in 12 monthly average of All India Consumer Price Index for the period ending June, 2022.

Kishan Reddy ji, Pashupati Kumar Paras ji, Jitendra Singh ji, Som Prakash ji, stalwarts from the world of start-ups from across the country, our young friends, other dignitaries and brothers and sisters, All of us witnessed the success of Indian start-ups and also saw presentations from some of the stakeholders. All of you are doing a great job. This year of 2022 has ushered in even more possibilities for the Indian start-up ecosystem. The ‘Start-up India Innovation Week’ event assumes greater significance in the 75th year of independence. Your role in building a grand India on the completion of 100 years of its independence is immense. I congratulate all the start-ups and the innovative youth who are raising the flag of India in the world of start-ups. It has been decided to celebrate January 16 as National Start-up Day so that this culture of start-ups gets as far as the far-flung parts of the country. Friends, The Start-up India Innovation Week is meant to celebrate the successes of the last year and also to discuss the future strategy. This decade is being called the ‘Techade of India’. There are three important aspects to the massive changes that the government is making in this decade to strengthen the innovation, entrepreneurship and start-up ecosystem. First, to liberate entrepreneurship and innovation from the web of government processes and bureaucratic silos; second, to create an institutional mechanism to promote innovation; and third to handhold young innovators and youth enterprises! Programs like Start-up India, Stand-Up India are part of such efforts. Steps like eliminating the hassles of angel tax and simplifying tax filing, facilitating access to credit and ensuring thousands of crores of rupees of government funding reflect our commitment. Under Start-up India, start-ups have been given the facility to self-certify compliances related to nine labour and three environment laws. The process of simplification of government procedures which started with the self-attestation of documents has reached the stage of eliminating over 25,000 compliances today. Startup Runway on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) platform is also very useful to enable start-ups to provide their products or services to the government easily. Friends, Trust in the ability and creativity of one’s youth is an important basis for the progress of any country. Recognizing this potential of its youth, India is making policies and implementing decisions today. There are more than 1,000 universities, 11,000 stand-alone institutions, 42,000 colleges and lakhs of schools in India. This is the great strength of India. Our endeavour is to institutionalize innovation in the country by creating an attraction for innovation among students since childhood. More than 9,000 Atal Tinkering Labs are giving children a chance to innovate and work on new ideas in schools. The Atal Innovation Mission is ensuring new platforms for our youth to work on their innovative ideas. In addition, the network of thousands of labs in schools and colleges across the country promotes innovation in every field. We are emphasizing innovation and technology-based solutions to deal with the challenges of the country. We have engaged the youth by organizing many Hackathons and they have given us many innovative solutions in record time. You must also have experienced how different departments and ministries of the government are in touch with the youth and start-ups and encouraging their new ideas. Whether it is new drone rules, or the new space policy, the priority of the government is to provide opportunities for innovation to as many youths as possible. Our government has also simplified the rules related to IPR registration. The central and state governments together are supporting hundreds of incubators in the country today. Today, institutions like iCreate are playing a very important role in enhancing the innovation ecosystem in the country. iCreate, i.e., International Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, is giving a strong start to many start-ups and encouraging innovations. And friends, We can see the results of these efforts of the government. Whereas 4,000 patents were approved in 2013-14, more than 28,000 patents were granted last year. In 2013-14, about 70,000 trademarks were registered, whereas more than 2.5 lakh trademarks have been registered in 2021. In 2013-14, only 4,000 copyrights were granted, whereas this number crossed 16,000 last year. India’s ranking in the Global Innovation Index has also improved a lot due to the campaign that is underway in India regarding innovation. In 2015, India was confined to 81 in this ranking. Now India is ranked 46 in the Innovation Index; it has come down from 50. Friends, India’s start-up ecosystem is creating waves in the world today. It is the strength of India’s start-up ecosystem that it is full of passion, sincerity and integrity. It is the strength of India’s start-up ecosystem that it is constantly discovering itself, improving itself and growing in strength. It is constantly in a learning mode, in a changing mode and adapting itself to new situations. Today who would not be proud to see that India’s start-ups are working in 55 different industries? Everyone will be proud of it. Where there were not even 500 startups in the country five years ago, today this number has increased to 60,000. You have the power of innovation, you have new ideas, you are full of youthful energy and you are changing the way of doing business. Our start-ups are changing the rules of the game. That’s why I believe start-ups are going to be the backbone of new India. Friends, This spirit from entrepreneurship to empowerment is also resolving the issues of regional and gender disparity in our development. Earlier, big businesses flourished only in big cities and metros; today there is at least one start-up in every state of the country spread over more than 625 districts. Today almost half the start-ups are operating from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. These are converting the ideas of youth from ordinary and poor families into businesses. Today lakhs of youth are getting employment in these start-ups. Friends, The speed and scale at which India’s youth are creating start-ups is a testament to the strong will and determination of Indians in this era of a global pandemic. Earlier, only a few companies could become big even in the best of times. But, 42 unicorns emerged in our country last year only. These companies worth thousands of crores of rupees are the hallmark of self-reliant, self-confident India. Today India is rapidly moving towards creating the century of the unicorn. And I believe the golden age of India’s start-ups is starting now. The diversity of India is our greatest strength. Our diversity is our global identity. Our unicorns and start-ups are messengers of this diversity. From simple delivery services to payment solutions and cab services, your scope is huge. You have so much experience working in diverse markets and diverse cultures in India itself. Therefore, start-ups from India can easily reach out to other countries of the world. So don’t just keep your dreams local, make them global. Remember this mantra — let us innovate for India, innovate from India! Friends, It is time for all to mobilize in the virtuous period of freedom. This is the time to move towards goals with ‘Sabka Prayas (collective efforts). I was happy when a group made important suggestions regarding the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. The extra space available in GatiShakti projects can be used for building EV charging infrastructure. Under this master plan, the entire infrastructure grid, including transport, power, telecom, etc is being brought on a single platform. Your participation in this campaign of creation of multimodal and multipurpose assets is very important. This will also give impetus to the creation of new champions in our manufacturing sector. The country’s ambitious plans are in front of you in many sectors related to defence manufacturing, chip manufacturing, clean energy and drone technology. Many investors of the country and abroad are investing in drone start-ups following the implementation of the new drone policy recently. Drone companies have received orders worth about Rs 500 crore from the Army, Navy and Air Force. The government is using drones on a large scale for mapping village properties for the Swamitva scheme. Now the scope of drones is increasing in home delivery of medicines and in agriculture. So it has a lot of potentials. Friends, Our rapid urbanization is also a big focus area. Today, work is happening on a large scale in developing our existing cities and building new cities. There is a lot to be done in urban planning. We have to create such ‘walk-to-work’ concepts and integrated industrial estates, where there are better arrangements for the workers. New possibilities are waiting for you in urban planning. For example, a group just mentioned the national cycling plan and car-free zones for big cities. This is very important to promote sustainable lifestyles in cities. You must be aware when I went to the COP-26 summit, I talked about the Mission LIFE and my concept of LIFE is Lifestyle for Environments (LIFE). I believe that we need to make people aware of the use of those things by using technology. For example, the P-3 movement is imperative today. P-3 movement, i.e., Pro-Planet-People! Unless we make people aware of the environment and make them soldiers in the fight against global warming, we cannot win this battle. Therefore, India is involving many countries in this Mission LIFE. Friends, Smart mobility will also make the life of cities easier and will also help in achieving our targets of carbon emission. Friends, India continues to strengthen its identity as the world’s largest millennial market. Millennials are the cornerstone of the prosperity of their families as well as the self-reliance of the nation. Our needs and our potential are limitless from a rural economy to Industry 4.0. Investment in research and development related to future technology is the priority of the government today. But it would be better if the industry also expands its contribution in this. Friends, One more thing you have to keep in mind in this decade of the 21st century. A huge market is opening up in the country as well. We have stepped into the digital lifestyle just now. Only about half of our population is online. With the speed, scale and price at which the government is working to provide digital access to the poor and villages, India will have about 100 crore internet users in a very short time. As last-mile delivery gets empowered in remote areas, it is also creating a rural market and a large pool of rural talent. That’s why I request the start-ups of India to move towards villages. This is an opportunity as well as a challenge. Be it mobile internet, broadband connectivity or physical connectivity, the aspirations of villages are rising today. Rural and semi-urban areas are looking forward to a new wave of expansion. The way the start-up culture has democratized the Idea, it has empowered women and local businesses. From pickles and papadum to handicrafts, the scope of many local products has expanded widely today. Due to increasing awareness, people are becoming vocal for the locals. And just now our friend Kartik from Jaipur talked about making local the global and mentioned virtual tourism. On the occasion of 75 years of independence, I would urge you to hold a competition among children of schools and colleges regarding the virtual creative work of the monuments and events related to independence from the pages of history in their districts and cities. And start-ups like you can compile it and the country should be invited for a virtual tour for 75 years of independence. It will be a big contribution from the start-ups during the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. If you make a beginning regarding an idea which you like and how to bring forth that idea in which format, I think we can take it forward. Friends, During the Covid lockdown, we have seen how small innovative models at the local level made people’s lives easier. Start-ups have a huge opportunity for collaboration with small local businesses. Start-ups can empower and make these local businesses efficient. Small businesses are the backbone of the country’s development and start-ups are the new game-changer. This partnership can transform both our society and economy and women’s employment especially can get a lot of strength from this. Friends, Many suggestions have come here regarding the partnership between government and start-ups in many sectors, including agriculture, health, education, tourism, etc. Like there was a suggestion that our local shopkeepers are hardly able to use 50-60% of their capacity and a digital solution was offered to them so that they could know which items had emptied and which ones needed to be bought. I will suggest that you connect the shopkeepers with their customers. The shopkeepers can inform their customers that they would be running out of stock of some products in three or seven days. If a message is sent to them, then families will not have to search the boxes in the kitchen to see which products they would be running short of after some days. A message can be sent by a shopkeeper to his customer that he is going to run out of stock of turmeric in three days. You can even convert it into a very large platform and can become a very big aggregator and can become a bridge between shopkeepers and customers. Friends, I assure you that every suggestion, every idea, every innovation of the youth will get the full support from the government. The next 25 years, which will take the country towards the 100th year of independence, are very important friends and most important for you. This is a new era of innovation i.e. ideas, industry and investment. Your exercise is for India. Your enterprise is for India. Your wealth creation is for India and job creation is for India. I am fully committed to converting the energy of the youth into the energy of the country. It has become very important to understand your suggestions and ideas because there is a new generation that thinks in a new way. I am sure that all the government departments will benefit from the ideas that have emerged from the seven-day brainstorming and will try to implement in government policies and see how it impacts the life of society. I thank you all for taking your valuable time out to take part in this event because you belong to the world of ideas and sharing those ideas with everybody is very important. I wish you all the very best. There is already the atmosphere of the holy festival of Makar Sankranti. But do take care of yourself from Corona.

All of you are welcome to this national conference and especially in Ekta Nagar. I consider this national conference in Ekta Nagar important in itself. If we talk about forests, our tribal brothers and sisters, wild life, water conservation, tourism, nature and environment and development, then Ekta Nagar sends out a message and creates the belief that today it has become a pilgrimage center in the field of forest and environment due to the holistic development that has taken place here. All the ministers and officers representing this field are here. During your stay here, I would like you to observe the nuances with which development work has been carried out here with utmost care towards the environment, our tribal society and wildlife. You will see and learn a lot in your bid to move ahead on the path of development in the future while protecting the forests and environment simultaneously. Friends, We are meeting at a time when India is setting new goals for the next 25 years of ‘Amrit Kaal’. I believe your efforts will help in protecting the environment and India’s development will also continue at the same speed. Friends, Today’s new India is moving ahead with new thinking and approach. Today India is a rapidly developing economy and is also continuously strengthening its ecology. Our forest cover has increased and wetlands are also expanding rapidly. We have shown the world that any country can hardly match our speed and scale in the field of renewable energy. India is leading the world today while dealing with major challenges, be it the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, or LiFE movement. Today the world is joining hands with India because of our track record of fulfilling our commitments. The number of lions, tigers, elephants, one-horned rhinos and leopards has increased over the years. As Bhupendrabhai mentioned, there is a new enthusiasm due to the homecoming of cheetahs in Madhya Pradesh a few days ago. The way the country rejoiced in welcoming the cheetahs reflects the kindness towards the living beings and love for nature which flows in the veins of every Indian. In every part of India, it seemed as if a beloved guest had come to their own house. This is the strength of our country. Let us continue this effort to balance with nature and keep encouraging the future generations. With this resolution in mind, India has set a target of net zero by 2070, i.e., we have about five decades from now. Now the focus of the country is on green growth and when we talk about green growth, then there are many opportunities for green jobs as well. The role of the environment ministry of every state is paramount in achieving all these goals. Friends, The responsibilities of the Ministry of Environment, whether in any state or at the Centre, are vast. It should not be viewed in a limited scope. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, there has been a perception in our system that the role of the Ministry of Environment is more as a regulator. But I think that more than just the regulator, the role of the environment ministry is to promote the environment. The role of your ministry is huge in every effort that protects the environment. Now, for example, the issue of the circular economy! The circular economy has been a part of our tradition. The people of India need not be taught about the circular economy. We have never been the exploiters of Nature; we have always been the nurturers of Nature. When we were young, we were told that when Mahatma Gandhi lived in the Sabarmati Ashram at the beginning of the last century he would interrupt anybody found wasting water of the Sabarmati River despite it being overflowing. There used to be so much water in the river, but he would not let the water go to waste. Many of you would be aware that there are so many households where so many things from clothes to newspapers are reused and recycled till the end. This is the ethos of our families. And this is not thrift. This is an awareness and sensitivity towards Nature. It is not because of miserliness that people use the same thing ten times. I would urge all the environment ministers who are here to promote a circular economy in their states as much as possible. If school children are told to find out something related to circular economy in their homes, they will certainly find it. There will be consciousness regarding circular economy and this will also give strength to our campaign of solid waste management and freedom from single use plastic. We should encourage Panchayats, local bodies, self-help groups and MSMEs in this regard. They should be given the right direction and guidelines. Friends, The Government of India has also implemented the Vehicle Scrapping Policy last year to give impetus to the circular economy. Did the states formulate any roadmap to take advantage of this Vehicle Scrapping Policy by inviting private investment or earmarking land which could be used to implement the scrapping of vehicles? I also told the Indian government to fast-track the scrapping policy by getting all the vehicles of the Indian government which are old and unfit for scrapping so that the industry can be kick-started. The states’ environment ministry should also sensitize their respective states to launch the scrapping policy by bringing all the old and outdated vehicles for scrap. The scrapping of old vehicles will lead to newer vehicles which will save fuel. It can be a great help. But it will be of no use if the policy formulated by the Indian government lies dormant. All the environment ministries of the country need to work on the biofuel policy quickly. We are moving in the biofuel sector rapidly. But if the states also take up this program to use biofuel blending in vehicles then there will be an environment of competition in the country. The environment ministries will have to own this policy and implement it firmly. Nowadays, the country is making new records in ethanol blending. If the states also join hands with the Centre, then we can grow rapidly. I would also suggest that there should be a competition among states for ethanol production and ethanol blending. The states should be certified once a year according to their performance. It will greatly help our farmers. The waste of the farm will also start yielding income. We have to promote this healthy competition. This healthy competition should continue among cities and states. This will empower the public participation in our resolve to protect the environment and what seems to be a hindrance to us today will become a great medium for us to cross new boundaries. As we have seen, LED bulbs save electricity, carbon emissions and money. Our environment, power and urban ministries in the states should continuously monitor whether LED bulbs are installed on every street light or in every government office or not. You and your department can lead this entire movement regarding LED bulbs which save money and protect the environment also. Similarly, we have to save our resources also. Take for example the issue of water. Everyone agrees that saving water is very important. We have given the call to develop 75 Amrit Sarovar (ponds) in every district during the ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ of Independence. Is the Ministry of Environment and Forests leading it? Is it giving emphasis to water conservation? Similarly, are the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture laying emphasis on drip irrigation? The Ministry of Environment is such a ministry that it can give direction, speed, inspire and draw results from every other ministry. Now-a-days, we see that there is a huge struggle for water in the states which used to have abundant water. There is a shortage of water and we have to go 1000-1200 feet down under the earth to find water. Friends, This challenge is not only limited to the departments related to water, but the environment ministry should also consider it as a big challenge. As I said earlier, there is a campaign for Amrit Sarovar underway in every district of the country. The issue of Amrit Sarovar is linked to water as well as environment security. Of late, you must have noticed that our farmers are turning to chemical-free agriculture, natural farming. Though it appears to be the responsibility of the Department of Agriculture, it will get a tremendous boost if the environment ministry also joins hands. Natural farming also works to protect the environment. To protect our mother earth is also an important task. Therefore, I emphasize that it is very necessary for the Ministry of Environment to work with a participating and integrated approach in the changing times. When the vision of the environment ministries will change, the goals will be fixed and the paths will be determined, I am sure friends, Nature will also benefit equally. Friends, Another important aspect of environment protection is public awareness, public participation and public support. But this too is not just the job of the Information Department or the Education Department. As you all know very well that our new National Education Policy is very useful for you as well as for your department. There is a theme on Experienced Based Learning and great emphasis has been laid on it. Did the Ministry of Environment take up the issue of the Experienced Based Learning with the Department of Education that if the school children had to be taught about trees and plants, they should be taken to gardens? The school children should be introduced to the trees and plants outside their villages. It should be the joint initiative of the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Environment. Those children will develop a natural awareness of the environment and this will bring more awareness to the children to protect the environment. They can sow such seeds in the hearts and minds of the children that they can become great sentinels of environment protection in the future. Similarly, the children on our seashores or on river banks should be taught the importance of water and the ecosystem of the sea and the river. What is the importance of fish and how are they helping to protect the environment? Though it is the job of the education department, but if the environment department also joins hands then a whole new generation will be ready. We have to make our children and the future generations aware as well as sensitize them to the environment. The environment ministries of the states should start campaigns in this regard. Planning has to be made. Now for example, if there is a fruit tree in a school then children can write on it. Children can also be asked to write an essay about the properties of a medicinal plant, a competition can be organized among children. The universities and laboratories of our states will also have to give top priority to innovations related to environmental protection following the mantra of Jai Anusandhan. We should also increase the use of technology in protecting the environment. As regards to forests, it is very important to continuously study their condition. We can continuously monitor our forests through space technology. If there is any change, corrections can be made. Friends, Another important topic related to the environment is forest fire. Forest fires are increasing. In the event of forest fires in a country like India, where do we have the resources to extinguish it with modern technology? You must have seen on TV the forest fires in several developed countries of the world, including the Western America, Canada, Australia, etc. recently. There was huge destruction, wild animals were rendered helpless and the public life was also affected. Ashes due to forest fires made it difficult for people to breathe for several miles away. India’s share in global emission is very less due to wildfires, it is negligible, but still we have to be careful. There should be a plan in place from now on. It is very important to have a strong forest fire fighting mechanism in every state and it should be technology driven. We all know the reason behind the fire in forests. There is a pile up of dry leaves in the forests and a small mistake can engulf the entire forest in the fire. The waste and leaves in forests are also used in the circular economy. Now-a-days, manure and coal are also made from them. Small machines can be installed and coal can be made from these wastes which can be used in factories. In other words, our forests can be saved along with our energy. What I mean to say is that there should be awareness regarding forest fires. We should treat the forest wealth and people who live in forests in a way so that we can save the forests from fire. Our forest guards also need a lot of training. There is a need to add new aspects of Human Resource Development. The old-fashioned guards are not going to make a difference now. Friends, I also want to discuss another important point with all of you. You know very well that the development of the country and efforts to improve the standard of living of the countrymen cannot be successful without modern infrastructure. But we have also seen how the construction of modern infrastructure in the country was delayed in the past on the issue of environment clearance. Ekta Nagar, the place where you are sitting, is an eye-opener for us. How the Urban Naxals, the opponents to development, had kept this huge project, Sardar Sarovar Dam, on hold? You will be surprised to know this, friends. Could you ever imagine such a huge reservoir in the form of Sardar Sarovar Dam in Ekta Nagar, where you are sitting? Its foundation stone was laid soon after the country got independence. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel played an important role in it. Pandit Nehru had laid the foundation stone but all the Urban Naxals and other people from the world joined the issue and launched a campaign that it was anti-environment. As a result, the project was stopped several times. The work, which was started by Nehru ji, could be completed only after I formed the government (in Gujarat). Tell me, how much the country’s money was wasted? And today the same Ekta Nagar has become a pilgrimage center of the environment. A campaign of lies was run and these Urban Naxals are not silent even today. Even today, they are playing their games. Their lies were exposed, but still they are not ready to accept it. They get political support from some people. Friends, Many global institutions and foundations create a storm over such issues and these Urban Naxals create problems for us by siding with them. (We should expose such conspiracies) without compromising on the environment, but putting our views firmly in a balanced way simultaneously. Conspiracies by such people affect even the World Bank and the judiciary. So much hype is created that projects get stuck often. I want that we should move forward by adopting a holistic approach on such issues. Friends, It should be our endeavor that no obstacle should be created in the way of Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business by raking up the issue of the environment unnecessarily. I will give you an example of how problems are created. There is always a water crisis in Gujarat. Out of 10 years, there is famine in seven years. So, we launched a huge campaign for check dams. We wanted to have water in the forests as well. Therefore, we planned a layer of small ponds measuring 10 feet long, 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep on the slope of water in the forests. You will be surprised that the forest ministry refused the proposal. I told them that your forests will be saved only if there is water. Ultimately, I told them that I would give money to the forest department. You build check dams, save water and preserve forests. It is only after that I was able to do that work with great difficulty. In other words, how will it work if we don’t ensure water in the forests in the name of the environment? Friends, We have to remember that the faster the environment clearance is available, the faster the development will take place. And this can happen without compromise. I am told that more than 6,000 issues of environmental clearance are pending in your ministries across the states. Similarly, the applications for about 6,500 projects are lying on your tables for forest clearance. Friends, the reason is something else if such clearances are given after three months in today’s modern era. We should decide parameters in a fair manner and should speed up in giving clearance while protecting the environment. We should not create hindrance. You can imagine that people do not benefit from the projects due to pendency. Expenses also increase and so do problems. We should try to minimize the pendency and there should be pendency only in genuine cases. We also need to change the work environment in order to ensure faster clearances. I have often seen that the state governments or departments of the government of India write letters to me if any project is not getting forest clearance. Some state governments blame the Indian government for the delay. I bring such projects for consideration during the PRAGATI meetings. And I am surprised that clearances are secured immediately at the state and the central level the moment a particular project is taken up during the PRAGATI review meeting. What it means is that it is not so that the clearance is withheld on the issue of the environment every time. There are some other issues, whether it is slackness or work culture due to which there is such a mess. Therefore, I request you that if we all work together, at the central or state or local self-government or at the department level, then there will be no such obstacles. You see, now-a-days technology is being used. You all must have seen the Parivesh Portal. Parivesh Portal has become a single-window medium for all types of clearances related to environment. It is transparent and less time consuming for approvals. Until eight years ago, where environment clearance used to take more than 600 days, remember friends, earlier it used to take more than 600 days for clearance. Today, with the help of technology, the environment clearance is available within 75 days in a scientific way. We also take care of the rules and give priority to the development of the people of those areas while issuing environmental clearances. That is, it is a win-win situation for both the economy and ecology. Let me give you another example. Just a few weeks ago, the Central Government dedicated the Pragati Maidan Tunnel in Delhi to the nation. Due to this tunnel, the problems of the people of Delhi getting stuck in the jam have reduced. The Pragati Maidan Tunnel will also help in saving more than 55 lakh liters of fuel every year. Now it is also protecting the environment as it will reduce carbon emissions by about 13,000 tonnes every year. Experts say that we need more than six lakh trees to reduce this much carbon emissions. That is, that work of development also helped the environment. Be it flyovers, roads, expressways or railway projects, their construction helps in reducing carbon emissions equally. We should not ignore this angle while issuing clearances. Friends, Since the implementation of the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, the coordination in infrastructure projects has improved a lot. The states are also very happy about it and they are taking advantage of its benefits. Due to this, projects have also picked up speed. The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan is also helping unprecedentedly in protecting the environment. In the wake of problems caused due to climate change, we also have to ensure that any infrastructure project in a state withstands such problems. We have to create infrastructure which is disaster resilient. We have to make good use of every emerging sector of the economy, while facing the challenges related to climate. Both the central and the state governments together have to move towards a green industrial economy. Friends, I am sure you will further strengthen India’s efforts to protect the environment in these two days. The Ministry of Environment is not only a regulatory institution but also a great medium for economic empowerment of the people and creating new means of employment. You will find a lot to see and learn in Ekta Nagar. Sardar Sarovar Dam has created a positive impact in the lives of crores of people of the four states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh in the form of electricity. Water has reached the deserts of Rajasthan and Kutch and electricity is being generated there. Madhya Pradesh is getting electricity. Such a huge statue of Sardar Saheb inspires us to stick to the pledge of unity. How ecology and economy can develop together, how environment can be strengthened and new employment opportunities can be created simultaneously, how biodiversity can become such a great medium to increase eco-tourism, how our forest wealth can increase the wealth of our tribal brothers and sisters, you can find the answers to all these questions in Kevadia, Ekta Nagar. With the belief that the Ekta Nagar Declaration will propose better solutions for the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of independence, best wishes to all of you. And friends, I congratulate the hon’ble minister and all the officers of the Ministry of Environment of the Government of India for organizing this program. The lecturers and discussions that will be held during the conference have their own importance. But the most important thing is that during your two day stay here, you will get to know each other’s experiences. Every state must have implemented some good experiments and taken some good initiatives. During your interaction with your colleagues from other states, you will get new ideas and will also be able to share your experiences with them. In fact, these two days will be very inspirational for you. You yourself will be an inspiration to each other. Your colleagues will be your inspiration. With the expectation that you will prepare a well-defined roadmap suggesting better options and giving a right direction for the development of the country, for the protection of environment and for making the future generations sensitive towards the environment in this two-day brainstorming session, I wish you all the very best.

The Cabinet also approved that Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of DoNER would serve as Vice Chairman of the Council. Impact: NEC implements various projects through the State and Central agencies. Under the new arrangement with Home Minister as Chairman and Minister of DoNER as Vice Chairman, NEC and all the Governors and Chief Ministers of North Eastern States as Member would provide a forum for discussing inter-state matters more comprehensively and also consider common approaches to be taken in future.

Every citizen, state government and political party should participate in it” The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi unveiled the logo, theme and website of India’s G-20 Presidency via video conferencing today. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister remarked that from 1st December 2022, India will preside over the G-20 Summit and said that it is a historic opportunity for the country. The Prime Minister said G-20 is the premier forum for international economic cooperation representing around 85% of the global GDP, over 75% of the worldwide trade, and about two-thirds of the world population. Calling this a momentous occasion, the Prime Minister said the Presidency of G-20 during the year of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is a matter of pride for every Indian. The Prime Minister expressed happiness over the growing interest and activities about the G-20 and related events. Highlighting the contributions of the citizens in the launch of the G-20 logo, the Prime Minister said that the government received thousands of creative ideas for the logo. The Prime Minister thanked everyone for their support and said that these suggestions are becoming the face of the global event. Remarking that the G-20 logo is not just any logo, the Prime Minister said that it is a message, a feeling that runs in India’s veins. He said, “It is a resolve that has been omnipresent in our thoughts through ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’. He further added that the thought of universal brotherhood is being reflected via the G-20 logo. The lotus in the logo symbolises India’s ancient heritage, faith and thought. The Philosophy of Adwait, the Prime Minister said, emphasises the oneness of all creatures and this philosophy will be a medium of resolution of today’s conflicts. This logo and theme represent many key messages from India. “Message of Buddha for freedom from war, Mahatma Gandhi’s solutions in the face of violence, through G-20, India is giving them a new height”, he said. The Prime Minister remarked that India’s G-20 presidency is coming at a time of crisis and chaos. He underlined that the world is dealing with the aftereffects of a disruptive once-in-a-century global pandemic, conflicts and lots of economic uncertainty. “The lotus in the logo of G-20 is a symbol of hope in such tough times,” he said. The Prime Minister remarked that even if the world is in a deep crisis, we can still progress to make it a better place. Throwing light on the culture of India, the Prime Minister mentioned that both the Goddesses of knowledge and prosperity are seated on a lotus. The Prime Minister pointed out the earth that is placed on a lotus in the logo of G-20 and said that shared knowledge helps us in overcoming difficult circumstances while shared prosperity enables us to reach the last mile. He further explained the significance of the seven petals of the lotus which represent the seven continents and seven universal musical notes. He added, “When the seven musical notes come together, they create perfect harmony.” Shri Modi said that the G-20 aims to bring the world together in harmony while respecting diversity. The Prime Minister said that this summit is not merely a diplomatic meeting. India takes it as a new responsibility and as the world’s trust in it. “Today, there is an unprecedented curiosity in the world to know and understand India. Today India is being studied in a new light. Our current successes are being assessed and unprecedented hopes are being expressed about our future”, he continued, “In such an atmosphere it is the responsibility of the citizens to go beyond these expectations and acquaint the world with India’s capabilities, philosophy, social and intellectual strength.” “We have to unite everyone and energise them for their responsibility towards the world”, he added. Shri Modi said there is a journey of thousands of years for India to reach this stage today. “We have seen highs of prosperity and also the darkest phase in global history. India has reached here along with the history of many invaders and their tyranny. Those experiences are the biggest strength in India’s development journey today. After independence we started a big journey starting from zero, aiming for the top. This includes the efforts of all the governments in the last 75 years. All the governments and citizens together in their own way tried to take India forward. We have to move forward with this spirit today with a new energy taking the whole world along”, he said. The Prime Minister underlined a key lesson of India’s culture “When we strive for our progress, we also envision global progress”, he said. He also dwelled on the democratic heritage of Indian civilization. He pointed out “India is such a rich and living democracy of the world. We have the values and a proud tradition in the form of the mother of democracy. India has as much uniqueness as it has diversity. “Democracy, diversity, indigenous approach, inclusive thinking, local lifestyle and global thoughts, today the world is seeing solutions to all its challenges in these ideas”, he said. Apart from Democracy, the Prime Minister also put forward India’s efforts in the field of sustainable development. “We have to make sustainable development a part of individual LiFE rather than just a system of governments. The environment is a global cause for us as well as personal responsibility”, the Prime Minister emphasised. He also highlighted the contribution of Ayurveda and noted global enthusiasm for Yoga and coarse grains. The Prime Minister said that many of India’s achievements can be used by other countries of the world. The use of digital technology in development, inclusion, removal of corruption, improving ease of doing business and ease of living, can be templates for many countries. The Prime Minister also highlighted India’s women empowerment and women-led development and financial inclusion through the Jan Dhan Account which will reach the world through the opportunity of the G-20 presidency. The Prime Minister pointed out that the world is looking with hope towards collective leadership whether it is G7, G77 or UNGA. In such a situation India’s presidency of G20 assumes a new significance. He elaborated that India maintains close relations with developed countries on the one hand, and at the same time understands and expresses the views of developing countries very well. “It is on this basis that we will build the blueprint of our G-20 Presidency together with all the friends of the ‘Global South’ who have been India’s co-travellers on the path of development for decades” he added. The Prime Minister highlighted India’s endeavour that there should be no first world or third world in the world, but only one world. Furthering India’s vision and the common objective of bringing the whole world together for a better future, the Prime Minister gave examples of One Sun, One World, One Grid which has been India’s clarion call for a revolution in the world of renewable energy, and the global health campaign of One Earth, One Health. He further added that the G-20 mantra is – One Earth, One Family, One Future. “It is these thoughts and values of India that pave the way for the welfare of the world”, he continued, “I am sure, this event will not only be a memorable one for India, but the future will also assess it as a momentous occasion in the history of the world.” Pointing out that G-20 is not solely an event of the central government, the Prime Minister requested the state governments as well as all the political parties to actively take part in this endeavour. He said that the event is organised by Indians and the G-20 is a great opportunity for us to showcase a glimpse of our tradition of ‘Guest is God’. He informed that the events related to G-20 will not be limited to Delhi or a few places but programmes will be held in every corner of the country. “Each of our states has its own characteristics, heritage, culture, beauty, aura and hospitality”, Shri Modi remarked. The Prime Minister gave examples of the hospitality of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Kerala Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and remarked that it is this hospitality and diversity that amazes the world. The Prime Minister informed that he will be heading to Indonesia next week for the formal announcement of India’s G-20 Presidency and urged all the states and state governments of India, to further their roles in this regard as much as possible. “All the citizens and intellectuals of the country should also come forward to be a part of this event,” he added. He also urged one and all to send their suggestions and express their views on the newly launched G-20 website about how India can maximise its role in the welfare of the world. “It will give new heights to the success of an event like G-20,” he concluded, “I am sure, this event will not only be a memorable one for India, but the future will also assess it as a momentous occasion in the history of the world.” Background Guided by the Prime Minister’s vision, India’s foreign policy has been evolving to undertake leadership roles on the global stage. In a significant step in this direction, India will assume G-20 Presidency on 1st December 2022. The G-20 Presidency offers a unique opportunity for India to contribute to the global agenda on pressing issues of international importance. The logo, theme and website of our G-20 Presidency would reflect India’s message and overarching priorities to the world. G-20 is the premier forum for international economic cooperation representing around 85% of the global GDP, over 75% of the worldwide trade, and about two-thirds of the world population.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister expressed happiness that all the dignitaries from the world of dairy have assembled in India today. The Prime Minister said that the World Dairy Summit is going to be a great medium for the exchange of ideas. “The potential of the dairy sector not only gives impetus to the rural economy, but is also a major source of livelihood for crores of people across the world”, he said. The Prime Minister underlined the centrality of ‘Pashu Dhan’ and milk-related business in the cultural landscape of India. This has given the dairy sector of India many unique characteristics. The Prime Minister pointed out that unlike other developed countries of the world, the driving force of the dairy sector in India is small farmers. India’s dairy sector is characterized by “production by masses” more than “mass production”. India is the largest milk-producing country on the basis of the efforts of these small farmers with one, two or three cattle. This sector provides employment to more than 8 crore families in the country, he informed. Explaining the second unique characteristic of the Indian dairy system, the Prime Minister reiterated that there is such a huge network of Dairy Cooperative in India, and one cannot find such an example in the whole world elsewhere. Shri Modi said that these dairy cooperatives collect milk twice a day from about two crore farmers in more than two lakh villages in the country and deliver it to the customers. The Prime Minister drew everyone’s attention to the fact that there is no middleman in the entire process, and more than 70 per cent of the money that is received from the customers goes directly into the pockets of the farmers. “No other country has this ratio in the whole world”, the Prime Minister added. He also underlined the efficiency of the digital system of payment in the dairy sector and said that it has many lessons for other countries. Another unique feature, according to the Prime Minister, is the indigenous breeds that can withstand many adverse circumstances. He gave the example of the sturdy buffalo breed of Banni Buffalo of the Kutch region of Gujarat. He also talked about other buffalo breeds such as Murrah, Mehsana, Jafrabadi, Nili Ravi, and Pandharpuri; among the cow breeds, he mentioned Gir, Sahiwal, Rathi, Kankrej, Tharparker and Haryana. As another unique characteristic, the Prime Minister highlighted the power of women in the dairy sector, the Prime Minister pointed out that women have a 70% representation in the workforce in India’s dairy sector. “Women are the real leaders of India’s dairy sector”, he added, “Not only this, more than a third of the members of dairy cooperatives in India are women.” He said at more than eight and a half lakh crore rupees, the dairy sector is more than the combined value of wheat and rice. This is all driven by the women power of India. The Prime Minister underlined that the government has worked relentlessly to enhance the potential of India’s dairy sector since 2014. This has led to an increase in milk production thereby leading to an increase in the income of farmers. “India produced 146 million tonnes of milk in 2014. It has now increased to 210 million tonnes. That is, an increase of about 44 per cent”, the Prime Minister pointed out. He also mentioned that as compared to the 2 per cent production growth at the global level, India is clocking the milk production growth rate at more than 6 per cent. The Prime Minister said that the government is working on developing a blanched dairy ecosystem where challenges of the sectors are being addressed along with a focus on increasing production. Extra income for the farmers, empowerment of the poor, swachhta, chemical-free farming, clean energy and care of the cattle is interlinked in this ecosystem. He stressed that animal husbandry and dairy are being promoted as a powerful medium of green and sustainable growth in the villages. Schemes like Rashtriya Gokul Mission, Goberdhan Yojna, Digitization of dairy sector and universal vaccination of cattle along with steps like banning single-use plastic, are steps in that direction. Stressing the use of modern technology, the Prime Minister said that India is building the largest database of dairy animals and every animal associated with the dairy sector is being tagged. “We are doing biometric identification of animals. We have named it – Pashu Adhar”, he said. Shri Modi also stressed the growing entrepreneurial structures like FPAs and women self-help groups, and startups. He said that the sector has seen more than 1000 startups in recent times. He also talked about the strides in Gobardhan Yojna and said that aim is to reach a situation where dairy plants produce their own electricity from Gobar. The resulting manure will help the farmers also. Drawing an analogy to farming, the Prime Minister said that animal husbandry and farming require diversity, and monoculture might not be the only solution. The Prime Minister stressed that today, India is paying equal attention to both indigenous breeds and hybrid breeds. He further elaborated that it will also reduce the risk of damage caused by climate change. The Prime Minister addressed another major problem that is affecting the income of farmers which is the diseases of animals. “When the animal is sick it affects the life of the farmer, affecting his income. It also affects the efficiency of the animal, the quality of its milk and other related products”, he added. The Prime Minister emphasised that in this direction, India is working toward universal vaccination of animals. “We have resolved that by 2025, we will vaccinate 100% of the animals against Foot and Mouth Disease and Brucellosis. We are aiming to be completely free from these diseases by the end of this decade”, the Prime Minister remarked. The Prime Minister observed that there has been a loss of livestock in many states of India due to the disease named Lumpy in the recent past and assured everyone that the central government, along with various state governments, is trying their level best to keep a check on it. “Our scientists have also prepared indigenous vaccine for Lumpy Skin Disease”, the Prime Minister added. The Prime Minister also pointed out that efforts are being made to track the movement of animals to keep the outbreak under control. Be it vaccination of animals or any other modern technology, the Prime Minister said that India is always eager to contribute to the field of dairy while striving to learn from its partner nations. “India has acted swiftly on its food safety standards”, Shri Modi added. In concluding the address, the Prime Minister reiterated that India is working on a digital system which will capture the end-to-end activities of the livestock sector. This will provide accurate information needed to improve this sector. This summit will put forward the work that is being done around the world regarding many such technologies. The Prime Minister also urged everyone present to suggest ways to share the expertise related to this field. “I invite the global leaders of the dairy industry to join the drive to empower the dairy sector in India. I also appreciate the International Dairy Federation for their excellent work and contribution”, the Prime Minister concluded. Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Shri Parshottam Rupala, Union Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Dr L Murugan, Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Processing, Shri Sanjeev Kumar Balyan, Members of Parliament, Shri Surendra Singh Nagar and Dr Mahesh Sharma, President of International Dairy Federation, Shri P Brazzale, and Director General of International Dairy Federation, Ms Caroline Emond were among those present on the occasion. 75 lakh farmers got connected with the event through technology. Background The four-day-long IDF WDS 2022, held from 12th to 15th September, is a congregation of global and Indian dairy stakeholders including industry leaders, experts, farmers and policy planners centring around the theme of ‘Dairy for Nutrition and Livelihood’. Around 1500 participants from 50 countries are expected to participate in IDF WDS 2022. The last such Summit was held in India about half a century ago in 1974. The Indian dairy industry is unique because it is based on a cooperative model that empowers small and marginal dairy farmers, especially women. Driven by the vision of the Prime Minister, the government has taken multiple steps for the betterment of the dairy sector resulting in an increase in milk production by more than 44% in the last eight years. The success story of the Indian dairy industry, accounting for about 23% of global milk, producing around 210 million tonnes annually, and empowering more than 8 crore dairy farmers, will be showcased at the IDF WDS 2022. The summit will also help Indian dairy farmers gain exposure to global best practices.","গ্ৰেটাৰ নয়ডাত অনুষ্ঠিত আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় দুগ্ধ ফেডাৰেশ্যনৰ বিশ্ব দুগ্ধ সন্মিলন, ২০২২ উদ্বোধন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-to-dedicate-pragati-maidan-integrated-transit-corridor-project-on-19th-june/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%A7%E0%A7%AF-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B8/,"Main Tunnel and five underpasses to be dedicated It is an integral part of Pragati Maidan Redevelopment Project Will ensure hassle-free vehicular movement and reduce traffic load of Bhairon Marg Project another step towards ensuring ease of living through transforming urban infrastructure Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will dedicate to the nation the main tunnel and five underpasses of Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor Project on 19th June, 2022 at 10:30 AM. He will also address the gathering on the occasion. The Integrated Transit Corridor project is an integral part of Pragati Maidan Redevelopment Project. The Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor project has been built at a cost of more than Rs. 920 crore, entirely funded by the Central Government. It is aimed to provide hassle free and smooth access to the new world class exhibition and convention centre being developed at Pragati Maidan, thereby facilitating easy participation of exhibitors and visitors in the programmes being held at Pragati Maidan. The impact of the project, however, will be much beyond Pragati Maidan as it will ensure hassle-free vehicular movement, helping save time and cost of commuters in a big way. It is part of the overarching vision of the government to ensure ease of living for people through transforming urban infrastructure. The main Tunnel connects Ring Road with India Gate via Purana Qila Road passing through Pragati Maidan. The six lane divided Tunnel has multiple purposes, including access to the huge basement parking of Pragati Maidan. A unique component of the Tunnel is that two cross tunnels below the main tunnel road have been constructed in order to facilitate movement of the traffic from either side of the parking lot. It is equipped with the latest global standard facilities for smooth movement of traffic such as smart fire management, modern ventilation and automated drainage, digitally controlled CCTV and Public Announcement system inside the Tunnel. This long-awaited Tunnel will serve as an alternative route to Bhairon Marg, which is running much beyond its carriage capacity and is expected to take more than half of the traffic load of Bhairon Marg. Along with the tunnel, there will be six underpasses – four on Mathura Road, one on Bhairon Marg and one on the intersection of Ring Road and Bhairon Marg.",১৯ জুনত প্ৰগতি ময়দান সুসংহত যোগাযোগ কৰিডৰ প্ৰকল্প দেশবাসীৰ প্ৰতি উৎসৰ্গা কৰিব প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয় https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-all-those-who-have-been-conferred-the-national-film-awards/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%81%E0%A6%9F/,"The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has congratulated all those who have been conferred the National Film Awards today.

The Government of India has made many efforts to make the NCC experience even more vibrant and meaningful. https://t.co/CPMGLryRXX”",এনচিচি দিৱস উপলক্ষে এনচিচিৰ কেডেটসকলক শুভেচ্ছা জ্ঞাপন প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/media-statement-at-informal-brics-leaders-meeting-on-the-margins-of-the-g20-summit/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A7%A8%E0%A7%A6-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A7%B0/,"We, the Heads of State and Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Russian Federation, the Republic of India, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of South Africa, met on 30 November 2018 for the annual Informal BRICS Leaders’ Meeting on the margins of the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We congratulated and supported the Argentine Presidency for G20 in 2018 and expressed our gratitude at the hospitality provided. We exchanged views on international political, security and global economic-financial issues, as well as challenges facing sustainable development. We recommit ourselves to a world of peace and stability, the central role of the United Nations, the purposes and principles enshrined in the UN Charter, and respect for international law, the promotion of democracy and the rule of law. We reiterate our commitment to working together to strengthen multilateralism and promote a fair, just, equitable, democratic and representative international order. We deplore continued terrorist attacks, including against some BRICS countries. We condemn terrorism in all forms and manifestations, wherever committed and by whom so ever. We urge concerted efforts to counter terrorism under the UN auspices on a firm international legal basis. We call upon all nations to adopt a comprehensive approach in combating terrorism, including all the elements identified in the Johannesburg Declaration. We reaffirm our full support for the rules-based multilateral trading system, as embodied in the WTO, to ensure transparent, non-discriminatory, open and inclusive international trade. We express our common readiness to engage in frank and result-oriented discussions with other WTO members with a view to improving the functioning of the WTO. The spirit and rules of the WTO run counter to unilateral and protectionist measures. We call on all members to oppose such WTO inconsistent measures, stand by their commitments undertaken in the WTO and rollback such measures of a discriminatory and restrictive nature. We support work towards improvement of the WTO with the view to enhance its relevance and effectiveness to address current and future challenges. In this work the core value and fundamental principles of the WTO should be preserved and interests of all WTO members should be reflected, in particular those of the developing members. The dispute settlement mechanism of the WTO is essential for its proper functioning. Its effective functioning will give members the required confidence to engage in future negotiating in the WTO. We therefore urge that the Appellate Body selection process be initiated immediately, as an essential prerequisite for the stable and effective functioning of the WTO dispute settlement system. We reaffirm our commitment to enhance our communication and cooperation and work jointly and collaboratively with other members to enable the WTO to keep up with the changing times, promote inclusive growth and participation of all countries in international trade and play a meaningful role in global economic governance. We welcome the G20 Argentine Presidency’s theme of Building Consensus for Fair and Sustainable Development and its focus on the Future of Work, Infrastructure for Development and Food Security for Sustainable Future. We recognize the importance of infrastructure for development and commit to contribute to bridging the global infrastructure gap, also by mobilizing resources for sustainable and disaster resilient infrastructure through national and collective initiatives, including the New Development Bank. We advocate for a strong Global Financial Safety Net with an adequately resourced, quota-based International Monetary Fund (IMF) at its centre. To this effect, we reaffirm our commitment to the conclusion of the IMF’s 15th General Review of Quotas, including a new quota formula so as to ensure the increased voice of the dynamic emerging and developing economies to reflect their relative contributions to the world economy while protecting the voices of the least developed counties, by the 2019 Spring Meetings and no later than the 2019 Annual Meetings. We reinforce our commitment to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals that would provide equitable, inclusive, open, all-round innovation-driven and sustainable development, in its three dimensions – economic, social and environmental – in a balanced and integrated manner, towards the ultimate goal of eradicating poverty by 2030. We urge developed countries to honour their ODA commitments fully, in time and to provide additional development resources to developing countries in accordance with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. The global economic expansion continues, however, it has been less balanced and downside risks have risen. We are concerned that the negative spill-overs by policy normalization from major advanced economies has been an important source of volatility of some emerging market economies witnessed recently. We call on all economies to strengthen their policy dialogue and coordination in the spirit of partnership at the G20 and other fora to prevent potential risks from spreading. Regarding Climate Change, we recommit ourselves to the full implementation of the Paris Agreement adopted under the principles of the UNFCCC including the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, and urge developed countries to provide financial, technological and capacity-building support to developing countries to enhance their capability in mitigation and adaptation. We call upon all countries to reach a balanced outcome under the Paris Agreement Work Programme during COP-24 that enables operationalization and implementation of the Paris Agreement. We stress the importance and urgency of conducting a successful and ambitious first replenishment process of the Green Climate Fund. We reiterate our warm appreciation to South Africa for the success of the 10th BRICS Summit, Johannesburg, 25-27 July 2018 and recommit ourselves to enhancing further our strategic partnership for the benefit of our peoples. We express satisfaction with the achievements of BRICS cooperation in the areas of economy, peace and security and people-to-people exchanges under South Africa’s Chairship, including the establishment of the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution (PartNIR), the BRICS Vaccine Research and Development Centre, the BRICS Energy Research Cooperation Platform and the Americas Regional Office of the New Development Bank in São Paulo. We reaffirm our commitment to fully implement the outcomes of the Johannesburg Summit and previous Summits. We look forward to the 11th BRICS Summit to be hosted by Brazil in 2019 and extend our full support to Brazil as the incoming BRICS Chair.",জি-২০ সন্মিলনৰ লগত সংগতি ৰাখি ব্ৰিকছ নেতৃবৰ্গৰ অনানুষ্ঠানিক বৈঠকৰ বিবৃতি https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-medal-winners-in-commonwealth-games/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%B1%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0/,"Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated medal winners in Commonwealth Games.

Presence of BSNL in telecom market acts as a market balancer. BSNL plays a crucial role in expansion of telecom services in rural areas, development of indigenous technology and disaster relief. To make BSNL financially viable, the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today approved the revival package of BSNL amounting to Rs 1.64 Lakh Cr. Revival measures approved by the Cabinet focus on infusing fresh capital for upgrading BSNL services, allocating spectrum, de-stressing its balance sheet, and augmenting its fiber network by merging Bharat Broadband Nigam Limited (BBNL) with BSNL. Upgrading BSNL services • Administrative allotment of Spectrum: To improve existing services and provide 4G services, BSNL will be allotted Spectrum in 900/1800 MHz band administratively at the cost of Rs 44,993 Cr through equity infusion. With this spectrum, BSNL will be able to compete in the market and provide high speed data using their vast network including in rural areas. • Financial support for capex: To promote indigenous technology development, BSNL is in process of deploying Atmanirbhar 4G technology stack. To meet the projected capital expenditure for next 4 years, Government will fund capex of Rs 22,471 Cr. This will be a significant boost to development and deployment of Atmanirbhar 4G stack. • Viability gap funding for rural wireline operations: Despite the commercial non-viability, BSNL has been providing wireline services in rural/remote areas to meet the social objectives of the Government. Government will provide Rs 13,789 Cr to BSNL as viability gap funding for commercially unviable rural wire-line operations done during 2014-15 to 2019-20. • Increase in authorized capital: The authorized capital of BSNL will be increased from Rs 40,000 Cr to Rs 1,50,000 Cr in lieu of AGR dues, provision of capex and allotment of spectrum. De-stressing BSNL balance sheet • Debt structuring: Government will provide sovereign guarantee to these PSUs for raising long term loan. They will be able to raise long term bonds for an amount of Rs 40,399 Cr. This will help restructuring existing debt and de-stressing the balance sheets. • Financial support for AGR dues: To further improve the balance sheet, AGR dues of BSNL amounting to Rs 33,404 Cr will be settled by conversion into equity. Government will provide funds to BSNL for settling the AGR/GST dues. • Re-issue of preference shares: BSNL will re-issue preference share of Rs 7,500 Cr to the Government. Augmenting BSNL fiber network • Merger of BBNL and BSNL: To facilitate wider utilization of infrastructure laid under BharatNet, Bharat Broadband Network Ltd (BBNL) will be merged with BSNL. The infrastructure created under BharatNet will continue to be national asset, accessible on a non-discriminatory basis to all the Telecom Service Providers. With these measures, BSNL will be able to improve the quality of existing services, roll out 4G services and become financially viable. It is expected that with the implementation of this revival plan, BSNL will turn-around and earn profit in FY 2026-27.",কেবিনেটে বিএছএনএলৰ ১.৬৪ লাখ কোটি টকাৰ পুনৰুজ্জীৱন পেকেজত অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-loss-of-lives-due-to-a-mishap-at-a-public-meeting-in-nellore-andhra-pradesh/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B/,"Announces ex-gratia from PMNRF The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the loss of lives due to a mishap at a public meeting in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.

Bharat Mata ki – Jai! Popular Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel ji, Gujarat Bharatiya Janata Party President C.R. Patil, my colleagues in the Union Cabinet, Parshottam Rupala ji, Mansukh Mandaviya ji and Dr. Mahendra Munjapara ji, our senior leaders Shri Vajubhai Vala ji and Shri Vijay Rupani ji, all the trustees of Patel Seva Samaj Trust, all the donors, the revered saints who came here in large numbers to bless us, other ministers of the Gujarat government, MPs, MLAs, and a large number of my dear brothers and sisters who have come to give their blessings despite the heat here at Atkot. I am glad that today Matushri K.D.P. Multi-Specialty Hospital has been launched. This hospital will help in improving health services in Saurashtra. When the effort of the people is added to the effort of the government, then our power to serve also increases manifold. This modern hospital built in Rajkot is a great example of this. Brothers and sisters, The BJP-led NDA government at the Center is completing eight years of service to the nation. You all sent me off (from Gujarat) eight years ago, but your love continues to grow. Today, when I have come to the land of Gujarat, I want to bow my head with respect to all the citizens of Gujarat. I have left no stone unturned in the service of the motherland for the last eight years because of your values and teachings on how to live for society. It is due to your culture, the culture of this soil and the culture of this holy land of respected Bapu and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, that I have neither allowed, nor done anything personally in the last eight years that will make you or even a single person of India hang his head in shame. Over the years, we have given top priority to service of the poor, good governance and welfare of the poor. We have given a new impetus to the development of the country following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. We have made sincere efforts in these eight years to make India of dreams of Bapu and Sardar Patel. Bapu wanted an India that empowers every poor, downtrodden, oppressed, our tribal brothers and sisters and our mothers and sisters, where cleanliness and health become a part of lifestyle and whose economy is powered by indigenous solutions. Friends, Pucca houses to more than three crore poor, open defecation free facilities for more than 10 crore families, freedom from smoke to more than 9 crore poor sisters, electricity connection to more than 2.5 crore poor families, tap water to more than 6 crore families, free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh to more than 50 crore Indians! These are not mere statistics, my brothers and sisters, but proof of our commitment to ensure the dignity of the poor. Brothers and sisters, The whole country is watching today when there is a pro-poor government, how it serves them and how it works to empower them. The country has experienced this even during the Corona pandemic, the biggest crisis in 100 years. When the pandemic began, there was a food crisis for the poor, so we opened the granaries of the country for the countrymen. To make our mothers and sisters live with dignity, we deposited money directly in their Jan Dhan bank accounts and in the bank accounts of farmers and laborers and we also arranged for free gas cylinders so that the kitchen of the poor continues to run uninterruptedly. In the wake of challenges in treatment, we made the facilities from testing to treatment accessible to the poor. When the vaccines came, we made sure that every Indian got the vaccines for free. Have you all got the vaccines? Have your vaccinations done? Did anyone have to pay even a penny? Have you even had to spend a rupee? Brothers and sisters, On one hand the critical time of Corona, the global pandemic, and nowadays you are seeing that war is also going on. The news of war half the time on TV worries everyone. Even in these circumstances, we constantly tried to ensure that our poor brothers and sisters, and middle-class brothers and sisters did not face difficulties. Now our government is running a campaign to make the facilities 100% accessible to the citizens. He who deserves should get it. When the goal is to provide facilities to every citizen, then discrimination also ends and there is no scope for corruption. There is no nepotism and no distinction of caste and creed. Therefore, our government is working diligently in taking the schemes related to basic facilities up to cent percent saturation. We are also continuously motivating and helping the state governments in this regard. Our efforts will empower the poor of the country, the middle-class of the country and will make their life easier. Today I was privileged to visit the first super specialty hospital here in Jasdan and in Atkot and got a chance to meet many donors and trustees. And the trustees told me ‘Sir, don’t look back, whosoever comes here will not return (without treatment)’. It is the words and spirit of the trustees and a modern hospital in its own courtyard. I congratulate Bharatbhai Boghra and all the comrades of Patel Seva Samaj. You all deserve to be congratulated for the great work that Patel Seva Samaj has done today with dedication and you all wish to do something for the society by taking inspiration from this. Generally, if you inaugurate a factory, a bus station, or a railway station, it comes from the heart that you flourish and people should make efforts so that there is good production in the factory. But what should be said about the hospital? I cannot say that the hospital should always be packed. Though I have inaugurated, we should create such an environment of health in the society that the hospitals should remain empty. No one needs to come. And if everyone is healthy, then no one will ever have to come (to hospital). And when there is a need to come (to hospital), he should return home being healthier than before. Such work is going to happen in this hospital. Today, I heartily congratulate Bhupendrabhai and his entire team for the pace in the field of health in Gujarat, the infrastructure that has been prepared and the level at which the work is being done. And it will benefit the common man in every nook and corner of Gujarat. Today Rajkot has emerged as such a place that three or four surrounding districts should feel that it is nearer to us. You can reach here in half an hour or an hour. You all know that AIIMS has been sanctioned in Rajkot in Gujarat and its work is going on at a fast pace. Sometime back, I came to Jamnagar when the foundation stone of the World’s Traditional Medicine Center by WHO was laid. On the one hand, Ayurveda (centre) in Jamnagar and on the other AIIMS in Rajkot and now this hospital in Atkot! Bapu’s pride must have swelled. Friends, you gave me the opportunity to serve you two decades ago. In 2001, there were only nine medical colleges in Gujarat. Do you remember all this or have you forgotten? Tell this to the new generation. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even know what was the condition? There were only nine medical colleges and so many people wanted to become doctors. There were only 1100 medical seats. Such a big state of Gujarat and only 1100 seats before 2001! And you will be happy to know that today there are 30 medical colleges in Gujarat, including government and private colleges. Moreover, there is a plan to set up a medical college in every district in Gujarat as well as in the country. There were only 1100 medical seats for MBBS and PG at one time and today there are 8000 seats. Brothers and sisters, we have made a bold step. Tell me, whether the child of poor parents should become a doctor or not? Tell me in yes or no? But if you ask them first whether they have studied in English or in Gujarati medium. If you have studied in English medium then the doors of becoming a doctor will open. If you have studied in Gujarati medium then all the ways to become a doctor are closed. Is this injustice or not? We changed the rules and decided that anyone wanting to become a doctor or an engineer can practice in their mother tongue too and serve the people. Friends, when there is a double-engine government, there will be a double advantage. Will it be or not? And do I need to explain to the people of Gujarat that if you have gone to the maternal uncle’s house for lunch and your own mother is there to serve you. One will have to understand its meaning. This double-engine government has taken the development of Gujarat to new heights by removing all the hurdles. Today Gujarat is getting the benefit of rapid development. There were many such projects in Gujarat before 2014 which were not considered by the then government in Delhi. They saw Modi in those projects. They would lose their mind and would cancel and reject those projects immediately. It had put roadblocks in many projects. So much indifference! These people had stopped the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Mother Narmada. We had to sit on a fast to build this Sardar Sarovar Dam. Do you remember or not? And that fast paid off and Sardar Sarovar became a dam. Sauni Yojana became a reality. And Mother Narmada came to the land of Kutch-Kathiawar and made our life bright. This is how work is done here. And now Sardar Sarovar and the name of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel are echoing all over the world because of the tallest statue in the world. People going there would wonder that such a huge statue got ready so soon in Gujarat. This is the strength of Gujarat. Gujarat has benefited from the rapid development of infrastructure. Today infrastructure projects are progressing at an unprecedented speed and scale. It has benefited all the extensions of Gujarat. There was a time when industries were concentrated only on the stretch from Vadodara to Vapi. One could see all the factories along the National Highway. Our industrial development was limited to this stretch only. Today if you go in any direction of Gujarat you will find small and big industries and factories. The engineering industry of Rajkot provides small parts to all the big and small vehicles made anywhere. Today, the high speed Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project is going on at a fast pace. The logistics arrangements along the Western Dedicated Corridor from Mumbai to Delhi are going on at a brisk pace. When Gujarat’s highway is widened to double-triple line, it will strengthen the capacity of Gujarat’s ports. Today Gujarat is witnessing unprecedented expansion in air connectivity also. And Ro-Ro ferry service! I remember when we were young we used to read in newspapers about the Ro-Ro ferry service. When I became the Chief Minister, I asked about it and where it is. We had been listening since childhood and today the Ro-Ro ferry service has started. Instead of the earlier 300-350 km, people are now saving eight hours to reach from Surat to Kathiawar. Today we have seen how development takes place. MSME has emerged as the biggest strength of Gujarat. There was a time when there was no industry except the salt industry in the entire Saurashtra. People of Kutch-Kathiawar had to wander in every corner of India to earn livelihood. But today the people of India want to come to Kutch-Kathiawar. Ports are booming. Today Gujarat’s image has changed, friends. The Morbi tiles industry is creating a niche in the world. The reach of the brass industry of Jamnagar has increased world over. Similarly, it is with the pharma industries. There was a time when the Gujarat Government used to offer so many benefits to lure pharmaceutical companies in Surendranagar. But nothing was happening. Today, major pharmaceutical companies are moving ahead firmly from the soil of Gujarat and Saurashtra. There are many such areas in which Gujarat is progressing at a fast pace. The campaign of One District-One Product across the country has benefited the industrial development of Gujarat. Saurashtra has its own identity and so are the identity of Kathiawar, the Kutch and Gujarat as their adventurous nature and the citizens of Gujarat living life even in the midst of lack of water. Today, the people of Gujarat are also doing wonders in agriculture. This is the strength of Gujarat and to take it on the path of progress, the governments at Gandhinagar and Delhi are working in all four directions. I congratulate all the citizens for the expansion of health facilities. Bhupendrabhai was just saying that PMJAY and the Ayushman schemes are the biggest such schemes in the world which are running here. The scheme benefits more people than the total population of America and many European countries. Under the Ayushman scheme, the government bears the treatment cost up to five lakh rupees of 50 crore people who suffer from serious diseases. Brothers, I did not have to read books or watch TV to know what poverty is and the problems of the poor. I am aware of how to live life in poverty. Even today in our society, if the mothers or sisters are sick, they do not tell anyone in the family. They bear the pain and continue with their household chores, and if someone in the family is sick, they also take care of them. Our mothers and sisters do not share their pain with anybody. When it becomes unbearable, they pray to God to call them back because their children are suffering because of her. When the son or daughter comes to know about it, they offer to take her to a good hospital for treatment. But their mother says that it will lead to debt and in any case she does not have many years left. ‘You will drown in debt and your generation will be completely drowned. I will live as many days as God has given and won’t go to the hospital. I do not need treatment by taking loan’. Mothers and sisters of our country would not get treatment because of money. They did not go to hospital fearing their son would drown in debt. Today a son sitting in Delhi for such mothers is running AYUSH scheme so that they do not suffer and money should not be a problem if they have to undergo operations. I am happy that arrangements have been made in this hospital also so that any person with an Ayushman card can get the full benefits of the government’s scheme. Therefore, such a day will not come if someone has to pay from his pockets for treatment. Imagine an elderly person in a middle-class family with a fixed income has diabetes and has to spend 1200-1500 rupees on medicines every month. He has to take injections or pills daily. What will happen to a normal middle-class family if it has to procure such expensive medicines? Jan Aushadhi Kendras have been opened in every nook and corner of India, and the medicines which cost 2000 rupees in the market are available at 100 rupees there. Hundreds of Jan Aushadhi Kendras are being run in India so that people should not have problems with medicines. As a result, anybody can buy affordable medicines and take care of his health and can handle any situation without any burden. Cleanliness, water and environment are necessary for health. We are running International Yoga Day for good health. I pray that all of you have good health, every child of Gujarat should be healthy and the future of Gujarat should be healthy. On this auspicious occasion, I congratulate the donors and their mothers who raised their children with such values and who have done so much for society. My best wishes to them and greetings to all of you. All of you showered so much love on me. Lakhs of people came to bless me in this scorching summer. This blessing is my biggest strength. This is my wealth. Thousands of sisters were blessing me by standing in the sun keeping the pitcher on their heads as per their Kathiawari tradition.

The Prime Minister felicitated the freedom fighters and veterans of ‘Operation Vijay’ at the function. He inaugurated multiple development projects including the renovated Fort Aguada Jail Museum, Super Speciality Block at Goa Medical College, New South Goa District Hospital, Aviation Skill Development Centre at Mopa Airport and the Gas insulated Substation at Dabolim-Navelim, Margao. He also laid the foundation stone for India International University of Legal Education and Research of the Bar Council of India Trust at Goa. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister remarked that the land of Goa, the air of Goa, the sea of Goa, have been blessed with a wonderful gift of nature. And today this enthusiasm of all, the people of Goa, is adding to the pride of liberation of Goa. He said that he had the privilege of paying homage to the martyrs at the Shaheed Memorial at Azad Maidan. After paying homage to the martyrs, he also witnessed the cell parade and fly past in Miramar. He also expressed his happiness for honouring the heroes of ‘Operation Vijay’ and veterans on behalf of the country. The Prime Minister thanked the spirit of vibrant Goa for providing so many opportunities, so many amazing experiences that Goa has brought together today. The Prime Minister noted that Goa came under Portuguese domination around the time when most of the rest of India was under Mughals. India witnessed many upheavals after that. Shri Modi noted that even after centuries and the upheaval of power, neither Goa forgot its Indianness, nor did the rest of India forgot Goa. This is a relationship that has only become stronger with time. The people of Goa also did not allow the movements for liberation and Swaraj to slacken. They kept the flame of freedom burning for the longest time in the history of India. This is because India is not just a political power. India is an idea and a family to protect the interests of humanity. The Prime Minister remarked that India is a spirit where the nation is above the ‘self’ and is paramount. Where there is only one mantra – nation first. Where there is only one resolve – Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. The Prime Minister said there was a turmoil within the heart of people all over India because a part of the country was still not free and some countrymen had not got freedom. He remarked that if Sardar Patel had lived for a few more years, Goa would not have had to wait so long for its liberation. The Prime Minister bowed to the heroes of the struggle. 31 Satyagrahis had to lose their lives in the Satyagraha of Goa Mukti Vimochan Samiti. He urged everyone to think about these sacrifices and about heroes like Punjab’s Veer Karnail Singh Benipal. “History of Goa’s freedom struggle is not just a symbol of India’s resolve but is a living document of India’s unity and integrity”, said the Prime Minister. He remembered that some time ago when he went to Italy and Vatican City he had the opportunity to meet Pope Francis. The Pope’s attitude towards India was equally overwhelming. The Prime Minister also talked of his invitation to the Pope to come to India. Shri Modi recalled Pope Francis’ reaction to his invitation “This is the greatest gift you have given me”, the Pope had said. The Prime Minister highlighted this as Pope’s love for India’s diversity, our radiant democracy. The Prime Minister also talked about the handing over of the holy relics of Saint Queen Ketevan to the Government of Georgia. Noting Goa’s strides in governance, the Prime Minister said that the natural beauty of Goa has always been its hallmark but now the government here is cementing another identity of Goa. This new identity of the state is that of being the foremost in every task of governance. Elsewhere, when the work starts, or the work progresses, Goa finishes it. The Prime Minister gave the example of Goa’s stellar making the state open defecation free, immunisation, ‘har ghar jal’, registration of births and deaths and other schemes for enhancing the ease of life for the people. He praised the performance of Swayampoorna Goa abhiyan. He complimented the Chief Minister and his team for the achievement in governance of the state. The Prime MInister also talked about the steps taken for the promotion of tourism in the state. He complimented the state for successfully holding the recently concluded International Film Festival of India. The Prime Minister paid tribute to the late Shri Manohar Parrikar. “When I see these achievements of Goa, this new identity being strengthened, I also remember my friend Manohar Parrikar ji. He not only took Goa to new heights of development, but also expanded Goa’s potential. How can one remain devoted to his state, his people till his last breath? We saw this in his life”, he said. He concluded that the nation saw the reflection of honesty, talent and diligence of the people of Goa in Manohar Parrikar.",গোৱা মুক্তি দিৱস উপলক্ষে আয়োজিত অনুষ্ঠানত অংশগ্ৰহণ প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰী https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/cabinet-approves-india-morocco-cooperation-agreement-in-railway-sector/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8B-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B9/,"The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given its ex-post facto approval to the Cooperation Agreement between India and the Moroccan National Railways Office (ONCF) to develop long-term cooperation and partnership in different areas of railway sector.

Later, the Prime Minister visited the construction site of the Statue of Unity, an iconic structure dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, at Sadhu Bet, a short distance from the Sardar Sarovar Dam. He was given an overview of the progress of work at the site. At a large public meeting in Dabhoi, the Prime Minister unveiled a plaque to mark the laying of foundation stone of the National Tribal Freedom Fighters’ Museum. The occasion also marked the closing ceremony of the Narmada Mahotsav, which generated awareness about the River Narmada, in various districts of Gujarat. Speaking on the occasion, he said the huge gathering shows the respect that people have for Maa Narmada. On the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti, he said that he salutes all those who are working to build the nation. Let us leave no stone unturned to build a New India by 2022, the Prime Minister exhorted. The Prime Minister recalled Sardar Patel’s vision of the dam. He said that both Sardar Patel and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar gave a lot of emphasis to irrigation and waterways. The Prime Minister said lack of water resources has been a major impediment to development. He recalled visiting the border areas in the past, when BSF jawans did not have enough water. We brought Narmada waters to the border areas for the jawans, he said. The saints and seers of Gujarat have played a very big role in the making of the Sardar Sarovar Dam, he said. The waters of the River Narmada will help citizens and transform lives, he added. The Prime Minister said that in the western part of the country, there is water shortage, and in the eastern part, there is power and gas shortage. He said the Government is working to overcome these shortages, so that India scales new heights of development. The Prime Minister said the Statue of Unity would be a fitting tribute to Sardar Patel, and would draw tourists from all over.

ICSI is celebrating its 50th anniversary today. My heartfelt greetings to all those associated with the institution on this occasion. It has been a privilege for me to be amongst the people who have been a part of this journey of the ICSI over the past 49 years and felicitate them. I am honored to be with the experts who ensure that every company in the country follows the law of the land, maintain complete transparency and do not fudge its .The onus is on you to see to it what should be the corporate culture of the country. The motto of your institute is Satyam Vada, Dharmam Chara . It implies that one should speak he truth and follow rules and regulation. Your advice- right or wrong has an impact on the corporate Governance of the country.. Friends, on several occasions, it has been seen that the people do not tread the path which they ought to have done. For example, both Yudhishtir and Duryodhan were taught by the same Guru, however their actions were altogether different. In Mahabharata, Duyordhan has been quoted as saying: Janami Dharmam Na Cha Mei Pravittih, Janami Adharmam Na Cha Mei Nivrittih. It means, ‘I know what is righteousness but I have no desire to follow that path, I also know what is wickedness but I have no desire to refrain from it.’ Your institution reminds such people of the values from this lesson of Satyam Vada, Dharmam Chara. Your institution plays an important role in institutionalizing the transparency and honesty in the country. Brothers and sisters, Acharya Chanakya had said: Eken Shushka Vrikshena Dahya Manen Vanhi Na; Dahyate Ta Vanam Sarvam Kuputren Kulam Yatha. It means, ‘Even if a single dry tree in the forest catches fire, the entire forest is engulfed in the fire. In the same way, even if one member of the family does wrong, the reputation of the entire family is at stake’ Friends, this axiom applies in the context of the nation as well. A handful of people in our country have been engaged in harming its reputation, they have been trying to weaken our honest social fabric. The Government has launched a campaign to clean-up the system and the institutions from such elements once it assumed office. Under this campaign immediately after the formation of the government, a Special Investigation Team – SIT, has been set up by the Cabinet in its first decision. It was suggested by the Supreme Court several years ago. -Black Money Act was put in place to tackle the black money stashed abroad. -Tax treaties with several new countries were signed and earlier tax agreements were amended. New ways were found in consultation with them. – Insolvency and Bankruptcy Codes were enacted. – Benami Property Law that had been lying in limbo for 28 years, was implemented. – Good And Simple Tax- GST – that was stuck up for several years was put in place. – This is the government that has shown the courage to take the decision of Demonetization. Brothers and sisters, This government has worked to strengthen the institutional probity in the country. As a result of relentless hard work by this government alone, we are having a less cash economy. 9th November, 2016 will be remembered as the opening day of corruption free movement in the history of India. The cash to GDP ratio has come down to 9 per cent after Demonetization. It used to be above 12 per cent before 8th November 2016. Was it possible if a new era of honesty had not been ushered in the country, in the economy of the country? Who knows it better than you about the easy exchange of black money earlier, and today people have to think at least 50 times before resorting to it. Friends, There was another character, Shalya in the Mahabharata. Shalya was charioteer of Karna. On the other hand, Krishna was the Sarathi of Arjuna. This character, Shalya always used to discourage those who were in the battle field and spread despair. He used to say, you don’t have the courage, your horses and chariot are weak and how would you fight. Shalya belonged to the Mahabharata era. But still we have some people having the same Shalya mentality. Such people take pleasure in spreading the despair. The slowdown in the GDP even in one quarter has become the biggest news item these days for such people. They are perpetually in a mode of pessimism saying how will you do it and what will happen next. When the Doklam issue surfaced. They again tried to spread pessimism thinking, nothing can be done. Some people take pleasure is spreading pessimism. They get a good sleep out of it. For them slowdown in GDP in one quarter is like a dose .There is a need to identify such people. Friends, When the data suits their thinking, the institutions and processes appear correct to them. However, the moment, the same data is unsuitable for them, they immediately start questioning the institutions and its processes. It is very important to identify such people before arriving at a conclusion only then we shall tread the correct path of truth. Friends, do you really feel that this is for the first time when the GDP growth of the country has reached to the level of 5.7% in a quarter? No it’s not. The GDP growth slipped to 5.7% or even lower 8 times during six years of the previous government. Nation’s economy has seen those quarters when the growth rate slipped down to 0.2 per cent, 1.5 per cent. That kind of slowdown was even more harmful for the economy since during those years India was also struggling with higher Inflation, higher Current Account Deficit and higher Fiscal Deficit. If you look at the two preceding years before 2014 such as 2012-13 and 2013-14, the average growth rate was around 6%. Now some people may ask why I have picked up those two years only. Because, it won’t take much time for people with Shalya mentality to contest it. Friends, I have referred to those two years because the method to calculate the GDP growth has been during and those two years of the previous government and three years of this government. When Central Statistics Office, CSO released the figure of 7.4% GDP growth during the tenure of this government, some people dismissed it. It was their view that the GDP data did not match with their own understanding of the ground realities. These people said that they were not able to feel that economy was indeed growing at that rate. It means that it does not fit into their Shalya mentality. Same Institutions were not of their liking , same processes were not of their liking at that time. But the moment, GDP growth rate came down to 5.7% , it lifted their spirit. They began telling, the institutions are correct. Same set of people used to state that they are not feeling it. Economy growing at a fast pace, was not acceptable to the. So, these handful of people telling that there was something wrong with the new method of calculating the GDP. At that time these people were not talking on the basis of the data but they were talking on the basis of their gut-feelings and that is why they were not able to see the growth of the economy. Brothers and sisters, But, as soon as the GDP growth slowed down to 6.1 and 5.7% in the two quarters the same data started appearing correct to those Shalya mentality economists. Brothers and sisters, I’m not an economist and neither have I ever claimed so. However, today when so much of discussion is taking place about the economy, I would like to take you back in time. Brothers and sisters, there was a time when India was included in a group related to international economy called Fragile Five, unlike the groups today like, G-7, G-8 or G-20. Fragile Five group was considered a dangerous group as not only their own economy was in shambles but they were also considered as a stumbling block in the recovery of global economy. India was named as a member of the same group. What it meant was that we can’t manage our economy rather become a problem for others and India was tagged along with Fragile Five group. A person like me, who has little knowledge of economy is still unable to understand how such a thing happened despite the presence of those top economists at that time. You must be aware about thar around that time the issues hogging limelight were –the growth in the inflation rate rather than GDP growth, while growth in current account deficit and fiscal deficit were prominently in the news. Growth in the rate of Dollar vis a vis Rupee used to be the headline in the newspapers while the growth of interest rate was animatedly debated . At that time, these parameters which reverse the growth trajectory of the nation were the favourite of a handful of people. Now when the same parameters have shown marked improvements, development is in the right direction, a handful of people are still having a look at it with their colored vision. They can’t see the writing on the wall clearly and I want to bring this to your notice. I am also showing you the slides. Rate of Inflation which was more than 10% has come down and this year the average is around 2.5%. Can you compare 10% with 2.5%. Current Account Deficit which was 4% has come down to nearly 1%. You can see it. While improving upon the parameters, the Central Government has brought down the fiscal deficit from 4.5% under the previous regime to 3.5%. Foreign investors have made record investments in India today. India’’s Foreign Exchange Reserve has gone up by 25% from around $30,000 crore to $40,000 crore. The reforms in economy, the confidence, the success perhaps do not matter to a handful of people .Therefore it is for the nation to understand whether some people are striving for the interests of the country or just espousing the interests of others.. Friends, it is correct that despite attaining average growth rate of 7.5% over the past three years, GDP growth rate in April-June period this year saw a decline. We don’t deny it. However, let me tell you that the Government is fully committed to reverse this trend, capable and we are ready to take decisions. Many experts have agreed that the fundamentals of economy are strong .We have taken several decisions and the process is on. The financial stability of the country will be maintained. We would take every step to bring in more investments. and carry forward the momentum of growth. I would like to assure that the steps taken by the Government would help India move into a new league in the years to come. According to Reserve Bank today, the estimates from the next quarter are expected to show a rise in the growth of economy which may reach eventually to 7.7%. Government is alert to reach out to and if needed to provide assistance to any sector following the structural reforms sector. It can be MSME or export sector or a part of our non-formal economy. I would like to reiterate from this forum that in the changing scenario, honesty will command a premium and the Government will protect the interest of honest persons. I know that there is an element of apprehension among some of the traders who have joined the mainstream that whether their old records would be tracked seeing their new businesses. Let me assure you that any such thing is not going to happen. It might have happened with the earlier regime, since the rules at that time, their attitude and behavior was different. There can’t be a greater sin than stopping you from joining the mainstream. And hence, our Government is of the view that we welcome those who wish to join the mainstream. Please leave aside the old thinking. Don’t worry, we shall be there with you all the time. I would also like to tell about the GST. It has been three months since it has been implemented. We have seen closely what is working and what is not. We have sought feedback even on minor issues. The GST Council has been told to review all the bottlenecks and problems- related to technology, filling of forms among others and a solution be worked out involving all political parties and state Governments. I assure traders that we are not orthodox and conservative. We also don’t know everything. But if something needs to be done, we shall do it. We do not claim that we know everything. However, this is an effort to move in the right direction. Wherever there are obstacles, we shall try to overcome them based on our experience over the past three years and usher in reforms as and when required. Friends, while discussing the state of economy with you, I would like to share the following details. I leave it to you to judge the implications of these details. Friends, I have a firm belief that whenever you bought a new car, you won’t have purchased it under compulsion. You must have seen your household budget, the cost of educating your children, the expenditure over medical treatment of the elderly in the family. And then when you have the saving, you would have thought of buying a house or a car. This is the basic thinking of our society. In such a situation- -What will be you take if the Sale of passenger cars in the country has grown by nearly 12% after June ? – What would you say when you find that the sale of commercial vehicles too has registered a growth of more than 23% after June? – What would you say when the sale of two wheelers in the country has registered a growth of over 14%? -What will you say when the number of domestic air travelers has registered an increase of 14% over the past two months? – What will you say when international air freight traffic has registered a growth of nearly 16%? -What would you like to say when the number of telephone subscribers has registered a growth of over 14%? -Brothers and sisters, these developments indicate that people are buying vehicles, new phone connections and using air travel. These indicators reflect the growth in demand in urban areas. · Hence, if we look at indicators related to rural demand then the sale of tractors has registered a growth of over 34% in the recent months. · Even in the FMCG sector, the trend of growth in demand is on the upside in the month of September. -Friends, these things happen when the confidence among the people of the country grows up. When people of the country feel this thing: yes, the economy is strong. – The recently released PMI Manufacturing Index reflects the expansive mode. And Future Output Index has crossed the figure of 60. ·-If we have a look at the recently released data, the production of coal, electricity, steel and natural gas has registered a robust growth. ·-Friends, even the disbursal of personal loan has registered rapid growth. · The loans given by Housing Finance Companies and Non-Banking Finance Companies have registered significant growth. -· Not only this, there is more investment in the mutual funds and insurance sector in the capital market. · Companies have mobilized more than 25000 crore rupees in the first six months of this year through the IPOs. During the entire period of last year this figure was Rs. 29000 crore. · In less than four months, more than 45,000 crore rupees have been invested in Non-Financial Entities through corporate bonds and private placement. -This data reflects the broad base of financing in the country. It means that financing in India is no longer confined to bank loans alone. -Friends, This government has continuously emphasized on the proper utilization of both time and resources. One can see a clear difference in the pace of work during the three years of the previous government and this government. · 80 thousand kilometers long rural roads were constructed during the last three years of the previous government. During the three years of our government, 1 lakh 20 thousand kilometers long rural roads have been constructed. It means a growth of 50% in the construction of rural roads. -The previous Government during its last three years, had awarded the work to construct 15,000 kilometers long national highways. Our government has awarded the work to construct 34,000 kilometers long national highways in its three years. ·If you talk about the investment in this sector, then the previous government has spent Rs. 93,000 crore during the last three years of its tenure in land acquisition and on construction of the roads. This figure has gone up to Rs. 1.83 lakh crores in this government. It means this government has nearly doubled the investment. Even you would be aware that how many administrative and financial steps are needed to be taken by the government for construction of highways. This data reflects that how the government has performed the role of a policy maker and policy implementer after bringing the country out of policy paralysis. Similarly, if we talk about the railway sector: · Nearly 1,100 kilometer long new rail lines were laid during the last three years of the previous government. In the three years of this government this figure has crossed 2100 kilometers mark. It means that we have laid the new railway lines almost twice as fast. ·During the last three years of the previous government, 1300 kilometer long railway tracks were converted in the double line. During the three years of this government, 2600 kilometer long railway track has been converted in the double line. It means that we have carried out the work of doubling of railway tracks twice as fast. Friends, capital expenditure worth Rs. 1.49 lakh crore was made during the last three years of the previous government. During the three years of this government, this figure has gone up to Rs. 2.64 lakh crore. It means a growth of over 75%. Now if I talk about the development of Renewable Energy sector, then: ·A total of 12,000 megawatt renewable energy capacity was added during the last three years of the previous government. If we talk about the three years of this government, then more than 22,000 megawatt renewable energy capacity has been connected to the grid power. It means that this government’s performance in this sector is nearly two times better. ·During the last three years of the previous government, it spent nearly Rs. 4,000 on the renewable energy. Our government has spent more than Rs. 10,600 crores in this sector in the three years. ·If we talk about the growth of shipping industry during the previous government, then the growth in cargo handling was negative during its tenure whereas during the three years of this government, it has registered an increase of 11%. Friends, The government has been paying full attention for strengthening the social infrastructure of the country along with the strengthening of physical infrastructure related to important sectors like rail-road and electricity. We have taken major policy decisions and carried out financial reforms in the field of affordable housing which are unprecedented for the sector. Friends, during the last three years of the previous government, it approved the projects worth Rs. 15,000 crores. While this government has cleared projects worth Rs. 1.53 lakh crores during its first three years. This is a reflection of our commitment to provide houses to the poor people, to the middle class. Brothers and sisters, More capital investment is required for this kind of developmental work that is taking place across the country. The government has stressed upon bringing more foreign investment in the country. -You might be aware that when the issue of reforms in the insurance sector was first discussed, the newspaper headlines used to say that if such a thing happens, it would be a major economic decision. It was during the previous government. That government completed its term without bringing reforms in the insurance sector. We have brought in the reforms in the insurance sector. It happened during this government. However, this is the mentality of some Shalya mentality people that even this reform doesn’t seem big to them since it was not done during that time, and it could not be carried out by a government liked by them -I would like to tell those people who have made this word – Reform – their theme song that we have carried out 87 small and big reforms in 21 sectors. Big changes have been brought about in the investment policies related to several sectors including construction sector, defence sector, financial services, food processing , or other sectors you name it. If you compare the total amount of foreign investment in India that has come after the liberalization and the foreign investment made during the last three years, you will realize the impact of economic reforms carried out by our government. Brothers and sisters, you are from this field. However, the statistics which I am placing before you will leave you surprised. The liberalization time frame began after 1992. If I take it as the basis, let us compare what has been the impact from liberalization till 2014 and then from 2014 to 2017. · 75% of the total foreign investment in the construction sector has come in the last three years alone. · Even in the civil aviation sector, 69% of the total foreign investment has come in these last three years. · 56% of the total foreign investment in the mining sector has come in the last three years alone. · 53% of the total foreign investment in the computer software and hardware sector has come in the last three years alone. · 52% of the total foreign investment in the electrical equipments has come in during the three years of this government. · 49% of the total foreign investment in the renewable energy sector has come in during the three years of this government. · 45% of the total foreign investment in the textile sector has come in the last three years alone. · It may be surprising for you that the automobile industry which has already attracted plenty of foreign investment earlier, even in that sector 44% of the total foreign investment has come in during the last three years. Growing FDI inflow in the country is proof of the fact that how much faith the foreign investors have in the country’s economy. Our Policies, their implementation and our vision has raised the level of confidence..All this investment is playing an important role in increasing the rate of growth of the country’s development and job creation. Increase in road construction, expanding rail lines, doesn’t it need creation of jobs ? How did it happen? But Shalya mentality goes on. Friends, this government realizes the value of every single penny earned by your hard work. That is why, the government’s policies and schemes are formulated in a manner that they help in not only making the lives of poor and middle class people easier, but should also help them in saving the money. Friends, This is the result of the government’s constant efforts that a LED bulb which was priced at Rs. 350 during the previous government, has now been brought down to Rs. 40-45 under the Ujala scheme by this government. Now you tell me, whether it resulted in savings for a middle class or a poor person or not. I can’t understand why the cost of LED bulb at that time was Rs.350.?. This is a matter of research. ·So far more than 26 crore LED bulbs have been distributed in the country. If we consider an average reduction of Rs. 250 in the price of a bulb, even then the middle class of the country has saved nearly Rs. 6,500 crores on this account. These bulbs have reduced the electricity consumption in every household. It has resulted in the estimated savings worth Rs. 14,000 crores to the middle class families in just one year. Now you see the total savings on LED bulb purchase and electricity consumption becomes more than Rs.20,000 crores. This, in itself is empowering the middle class families. ·Due to the efforts made by the government, those local bodies are also reaping the financial benefits. They have been replacing their street lights with LED bulbs. As per an estimate, the municipality of a tier-two town has made on an average saving Rs. 10-15 crore. Now this money. is being spent for the development of the cities and spurring economic growth. . – For the first time, the middle class has been given relief on the interest rates for construction of houses by this Government. You might recall, never before middle class was granted relief for construction of houses. Government has always taken steps to ease the burden of the middle class, to provide the opportunities to the lower-middle class and for the empowerment of poor people, Steps are being taken, policies are being formulated and implemented in a time bound manner. We have been pro active I this direction. I am aware that sometimes I’ll have to face criticism for empowering the people and the country instead of handing out doles. However, I cannot compromise with the future of the country to protect my present. Do we need to worry only about the power and the vote.? We have chosen the path which is difficult. However we are treading the right path keeping in mind the welfare of the people. I have to often face criticism for this reason. Look, if you hand out doles, people will sing paeans for you. I am being criticized. The vested interests feel aggrieved since my Government believes in transferring the money into the accounts of the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit transfer. It has ensured that ghost accounts are done away with. That is why such people won’t like PM Modi . That is why our emphasis is on empowering the common man. I would like to tell my fellow citizens humbly that I cannot compromise with the future of the country to protect my present. Friends, This government has laid emphasis on the personal sector along with the private sector and public sector. Otherwise, the discourse was confined only to the private and the public sector. Personal Sector, which is connected to the personal aspirations of the people is equally important. That is why this government is extending every possible help to the youth who want to do something on their own, who want to fulfill their dreams. · Loans of more than Rs. 3.75 lakh crore have been given to more than 9 crore account holders without any bank guarantee under the Mudra scheme. · Out of these 9 crore people, 2.63 crores are the youth who are the first time borrowers, it means that this is for the first time that they borrowed a loan under the Mudra scheme to start their business. The government has been encouraging the self employment through the schemes like Skill India Mission, Stand-up India and Start-up India. Companies have been given financial incentives for bringing more and more people in the formal economy. Brothers and sisters, If we take a look at some of the indicators related to formal sector employment, then: -By the end of March 2014, there were 3.26 crore employees who have been actively contributing the provident fund money into the Employees Provident Fund Organization every month. In the last three years, this number has gone up to 4.80 crore. Some people forget this thing that this number cannot go up without growth in employment. Friends, We have taken steps to ensure that the Government schemes bring in a qualitative change in the lives of poor people, lower middle class and middle class people. Bank accounts of more than 30 crore poor people have been opened under the Jan-Dhan scheme. More than three crore women have been provided a gas connection free of cost under the Ujjwala scheme. Nearly 15 crore poor people have been brought under the coverage of government insurance schemes. The Saubhagya Scheme has been launched a few days ago to provide free electricity connections to the poor people. These schemes have been empowering the poor people. However, it is corruption and black money which have been a bane for the nation. Your institution and the company secretaries of the country have an important role in curbing the black money and corruption. Registration of 2.1 lakh companies of the total 3 lakh shell companies, which were suspected of channelizing the black money following the note ban, have been cancelled. I am hopeful that the level of awareness among the directors will be increased and companies will become more transparent following this cleansing operation against the shell companies. Friends, This period is of immense changes, of transformative changes in the history of the nation. The importance of a transparent and honest administration is now understood in the country. The recommendations made by the ICSI played a positive role in formulating the Corporate Governance Framework. Now it is the need of the hour for you all to play an active role in producing a new business culture. Nearly 19 lakh new citizens have come under the scope of indirect taxes following the implementation of GST. Be it a small trader or a big trader, he should adopt the honest tax system inbuilt in the GST. It is also your duty to encourage the business community in this regard. Lakhs of students have been enrolled with your institution. Can your institution take this responsibility that it will train one lakh youth about small-small things related to GST? They can help small businesses and traders in their area linking them with GSTN, in filing returns after receiving a training of 7 to 10 days.. It will open up a new avenue of employment. If it is taken up in organized way, even one lakh would be small number. Friends, nation celebrates 75 years of independence in 2022. We must have a dream to fulfill the aspirations and wishes of our freedom fighters and great leaders who spent their prime of life in jails, struggled for independence throughout their life and sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country. Every Indian citizen should have the dream like the one in 1942 during Quit India Movement, when people decided that they won’t stop till Britishers leave India. We should also move ahead with a dream for 2022, in75 th year of our independence. Friends, I want some promises from the ICSI for 2022 when the country will celebrate the 75th year of its independence. These promises will have your pledges and you should fulfill it- . · Can you take the responsibility of making the country a high tax compliant society by 2022? · Can you ensure that there will not be a single shell company in the country by 2022? · Can you ensure that by 2022 every company in the country will honestly pay the taxes? · Can you establish an honest business culture in the country by 2022 by expanding the scope of your help? I hope that in the beginning of its golden jubilee year, the ICSI will embark on a journey to meet these goals with guidelines and will also include them in its work culture. Once again, Congratulations to you all in this Golden Jubilee Year. I would like to assure my fellow citizens that we do not take offence to the recent spate of criticisms of the Government on the economic front. The Government is sensitive towards the concerns of the people. We take even the harshest criticism in our stride. We would strive to carry forward the nation of 1.25 billion on the road to growth and development with humility, and keeping in mind the interests of the people with the same rhythm and fast pace. I would also like to tell our critiques humbly that we do not subscribe to the view that all the critiques are wrong. However, we should desist from creating an atmosphere of pessimism in the country. I showed you the glimpses of a parameter which reflects the strength of our economy. There are many other parameters which prove how strong is our economy and a clear reflection of the decision making powers of the Government. This is the proof of the direction and momentum of the Government. The economic strength is also reflected in the rising confidence about India both inside the country and abroad. We should not ignore it. Let us march ahead for building a New India with a renewed vigour, zeal, confidence and culture. Congratulations to you all on the Golden Jubilee. Since you belong to this field, I thought of sharing my views on this issue with you and I am quite hopeful that through this platform, it will reach out to the fellow citizens. Once again many- many greetings Thank You.",ভাৰতীয় কোম্পানী সচিব ছেক্ৰেটাৰী প্ৰতিষ্ঠানৰ সোণালী জয়ন্তী বৰ্ষৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে দিয়া ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-shares-an-article-on-learnings-from-mahatma-gandhis-home-in-porbandar/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8B%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today shared an article on learnings from Mahatma Gandhi’s home in Porbandar.

Becharaji’s holy land has produced many sons, social workers and patriots. On the occasion of 115th birth anniversary of one such son from this soil, freedom fighter and social worker Shri Prahladji Hargovandas Patel, we have got the opportunity to commemorate his virtues and that too amidst the sacred festival of Navratri and in the presence of Mother Bahuchara. And as we Indians are celebrating the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, it is my extreme pleasure to commemorate a patriot like Prahladbhai. Prahladbhai originally belonged to Sitapur village, but had come and settled in Becharaji. Prahladji had become famous in the entire state by the name of Seth Latiwala. It was as if he had come to this state as Krishna’s ‘Sanwaliya Seth’ form and had served the society with a generous heart. Like many youngsters, Prahladbhai had become active in the freedom movement under Gandhiji’s influence during the freedom struggle. He also was imprisoned in Sabarmati and Yerwada Jail. His father had died during one such imprisonment, but he had categorically refused to write an apology to the British government and be released on parole. His parents were cremated by his cousin brother. In this way, putting the interest of the nation ahead of the family, he had lived up to the idea of ’nation first’. In the war of independence, he was also involved in certain underground activities and had attempted to hide several fighters in Becharaji. After independence, he had played a vital role in the merger of small states of the country under the instructions of Sardar Sahib and had actively contributed in connecting the states like Dasada, Vanod and Zainabad with India. It is extremely disheartening that such patriots are hardly mentioned in the history books of the country. It is the duty of all of us to ensure that the heroic saga of freedom fighters like Prahlad Bhai is told to the new generation who can seek inspiration from that. Even after the freedom struggle was over, in independent India, he did not rest; he remained engrossed in social work. In 1951, he had joined Vinoba Bhave’s Bhoodan movement and had donated 200 bighas of land owned by him. This was a great step taken by one ‘Bhoomi Putra’ in the interest of several landless people. In 1962, in the first election of Gujarat, after it separated from Bombay state, he had fought from Chanasma seat and had become a public representative as well as a voice of the people. He took the entire state to the path of development. I still remember, I used to work for the Sangh at that time and had to go to different places for the same. And whenever people wanted to go to Becharaji, for them it was as if Prahladbhai’s Lathi itself had become the place of public welfare Prahladbhai, who worked in the spirit of trusteeship, was a link to the Mahajan tradition of Gujarat. And talking of Prahlad bhai, today’s event will remain incomplete without mentioning his wife Kashi Ba. Kashi ba was not only an ideal housewife, but like Kasturba, she too had performed civic duties and provided her strong support to her husband. His whole life, work tradition, his desire to work in those conditions and every little thing is an invaluable document of the freedom struggle. His work and social contribution should be documented so that it provides new information to today’s generation; and so, he would be an inspiration for the coming generation. During his lifetime, he was leading in public service, but even after his death, he resolved to donate his eyes. Just imagine, he took the decision of donating his eyes even in those days when there was no awareness about eye donation. How great and inspiring was this resolution! All the universities of Gujarat should find such great men from every nook and corner of the state and compile their unknown, unsung stories and make them famous in the form of a book. That is when the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ will uphold its true meaning. Shri Prahladbhai was like a Triveni confluence of patriotism, spirit of devotion, duty & service. Today, think of his dedication and seek inspiration in the direction of building and further developing a New India. This will be a tribute to him in the true sense. I respectfully pay my obeisance to Prahladbhai and his excellent work. And in the presence of Mother Bahuchara, I conclude my speech by bowing down to Mother Bahuchara and those serving Mother Bharati. Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

The first IFSC in India has been set up at GIFT City, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. An IFSC enables bringing back the financial services and transactions that are currently carried out in offshore financial centers by Indian corporate entities and overseas branches / subsidiaries of financial institutions (FIs)to India by offering business and regulatory environment that is comparable to other leading international financial centers in the world like London and Singapore. It would provide Indian corporates easier access to global financial markets. IFSC would also compliment and promote further development of financial markets in India. Currently, the banking, capital markets and insurance sectors in IFSC are regulated by multiple regulators, i.e. RBI, SEBI and IRDAI. The dynamic nature of business in the IFSCs necessitates a high degree of inter-regulatory coordination. It also requires regular clarifications and frequent amendments in the existing regulations governing financial activities in IFSCs. The development of financial services and products in IFSCs would require focussed and dedicated regulatory interventions. Hence, a need is felt for having a unified financial regulator for IFSCs in India to provide world class regulatory environment to financial market participants. Further, this would also be essential from an ease of doing business perspective. The unified authority would also provide the much needed impetus to further development of IFSC in India in-sync with the global best practices. Taking into account the regulatory requirements of IFSCs and the provisions of the existing laws of financial sector, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance (MoF) has prepared a draft Bill to set up a separate unified regulator for IFSCs. Following are the main features of the Bill: Management of the Authority: The Authority shall consist of a Chairperson, one Member each to be nominated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority(PFRDA), two members to be dominated by the Central Government and two other whole-time or full-time or part-time members. Functions of the Authority: The Authority shall regulate all such financial services, financial products and FIs in an IFSC which has already been permitted by the Financial Sector Regulators for IFSCs. The Authority shall also regulate such other financial products, financial services or FIs as may be notified by the Central Government from time to time. It may also recommend to the Central Government such other financial products, financial services and financial institutions which may be permitted in the IFSCs. Powers of the Authority: All powers exercisable by the respective financial sector regulatory (viz. RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and PFRDA etc.) under the respective Acts shall be solely exercised by the Authority in the IFSCs in so far as the regulation of financial products, financial services and FIs that are permitted in the IFSC are concerned. Processes and procedures of the Authority: The processes and procedures to be followed by the Authority shall be governed in accordance with the provisions of the respective Acts of Parliament of India applicable to such financial products, services or institutions, as the case may be. Grants by the Central Govt.: The Central Govt. may, after due appropriation made by Parliament by law in this behalf, make to the Authority grants of such sums of money as the Central Government may think fit for being utilized for the purposes of the Authority. Transactions in foreign currency: The transactions of financial services in the IFSCs shall be done in the foreign currency as specified by the Authority in consultation with the Central Govt. The establishment of a unified financial regulator for IFSCs will result in providing world-class regulatory environment to market participants from an ease of doing business perspective. This will provide a stimulus for further development of IFSCs in India and enable bringing back of financial services and transactions that are currently carried out in offshore financial centres to India. This would also generate significant employment in the IFSCs in particular as well as financial sector in India as a whole.","ভাৰতৰ সকলো ধৰণৰ আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় আর্থিক সেৱা কেন্দ্ৰ(আইএফএছচি)সমূহ নিয়ন্ত্ৰণৰ বাবে এটি সমন্বিত প্ৰাধিকৰণ স্থাপনৰ লক্ষ্যৰে আন্তঃৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় বিত্তীয় সেৱা প্ৰাধিকৰণ বিধেয়ক, ২০১৯ উত্থাপনত অনুমোদন" https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-interacts-with-collectors-of-aspirational-districts/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9B%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%86%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B8/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today interacted with Collectors and Officers-in-charge of aspirational districts, at a Conference organized by NITI Aayog at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi. This event is in keeping with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Transforming India by 2022. The Union Government has embarked upon a major policy initiative for the rapid transformation of 115 districts that are lagging on specific development parameters. Six groups of officers made presentations on the themes of nutrition, education, basic infrastructure, agriculture and water resources, eradication of Left Wing Extremism and financial inclusion and skill development. Addressing the gathering, which also included many Union Ministers and senior Union Government officers, the Prime Minister said this is the first official programme at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, and therefore has a special significance. He said that relative backwardness of some regions is an injustice to the people of those regions. In that context, he added, this effort to develop 115 backward districts, is in keeping with the vision of Dr. Ambedkar, who worked for the upliftment of the under-privileged. Giving the examples of the Jan Dhan Yojana, the construction of toilets, and rural electrification, the Prime Minister said nothing is impossible in our country if we have a firm resolve. He also gave examples of success that is being achieved in entirely new initiatives such as soil testing. He emphasized that there is limitless potential, limitless possibilities, and limitless opportunities now in India. In this context, he mentioned the improvement in ease of doing business. He credited officials of the Government – and Team India – for this success. The Prime Minister said that top-down solutions do not yield results. Therefore, the effort is that people on the field contribute to solutions. In this context, he appreciated the clarity of thought, and faith in conviction, in the presentations today. The Prime Minister said that regional imbalances should not be allowed to increase indefinitely. Therefore, the development of backward districts is imperative. He said that success stories are vital to change the negative psyche and mindset in these areas. The first step is to convert this mindset of pessimism into one of optimism, he explained. The Prime Minister said that public movements for development require a meeting of minds in the core team. In this context he suggested brainstorming at the district level. There need to be systematic arrangements to involve people, he said, giving the example of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. He emphasized the importance of building positive narratives and optimism in the achievement of development targets. We need to recognise and channelize the aspirations of the people of the aspirational districts, the Prime Minister said. He said public participation should lead to a matching of the aspirations of people, with schemes of Governments. He said the Collectors of the 115 aspirational districts have the opportunity to earn lasting satisfaction, by delivering on development objectives. He said challenges are the path to achieving success in life, and these Collectors have the opportunity for that. He called for a concerted effort to achieve visible results in three months, till Babasaheb Ambedkar’s birth anniversary on April 14th. He said he wishes to personally visit one such well-performing district in the month of April. He said these 115 districts can become the foundation for developing New India.",পিছপৰা জিলাসমূহৰ আয়ুক্তসকলৰ লগত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ সাক্ষাৎ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-speaks-to-hh-amir-tamim-bin-hamad-al-thani-amir-of-qatar/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%B0/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has spoken to HH Amir Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar and thanked him for his gracious Diwali greetings.

Salient features: The amendments in the MCA envisage constitution of the Society for Affordable Redressal of Disputes – Ports (SAROD-PORTS) as dispute resolution mechanism similar to provision available in Highway Sector. The other salient features of the revised MCA include the following:- Providing exit route to developers by way of divesting their equity upto 100% after completion of 2 years from the Commercial Operation Date(COD). This is now similar to the MCA provisions of Highway Sector. Under provision of additional land to the Concessionaire, land rent has been reduced from 200% to 120% of the applicable scale of rates for the proposed additional land. Concessionaire would pay Royalty on “per MT of cargo/TEU handled” basis which would be indexed to the variations in the WPI annually. This will replace the present procedure of charging royalty which is equal to the percentage of Gross revenue, quoted during bidding, calculated on the basis of upfront normative tariff ceiling prescribed by Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP). This will help to resolve the long pending grievances of Public Private Participation (PPP) operators that Revenue share is payable on ceiling tariff and price discounts are ignored. The problems associated with fixing storage charges by TAMP and collection of Revenue share on storage charges which has plagued many projects will also get eliminated. Concessionaire would be free to deploy higher capacity equipment/facilities/technology and carry out value engineering for higher productivity and improved utilization and/or cost saving of Project assets. “Actual Project Cost” would be replaced by “Total Project Cost”. The new definition of “Change in Law” will also include imposition of standards and conditions arising out of TAMP guidelines/orders, Environmental Law & Labour Laws and increase and imposition of new taxes, duties, etc. for compensating the Concessionaire. Since the viability of the project was affected, concessionaire will now be compensated for the increase and imposition of new taxes, duties etc. except in respect of imposition/increase of a direct tax, both by Central & State Government. vii. Provision for commencement of operations before COD. This will lead to better utilization of assets provided by the Port in many projects before the formal completion certificate. Provision regarding refinancing is aimed at facilitating availability of low cost long term funds to Concessionaire so as to improve the financial viability of the projects. Extending the provision of SAROD-PORTS for redressal of disputes to the existing Concessionaires also by introducing the Supplementary Agreement to be signed between the Concessionaire and the Concessioning Authority. Introduction of Complaint Portal for the use of port users. A Monitoring Arrangement has been introduced for keeping periodical status report of the project. The amendments have been proposed keeping in view the experience gained in managing PPP projects in port sector during the last twenty years and to obviate the problems being faced on account of certain provisions in the existing MCA. The amendments in the MCA have been finalized after extensive consultation with the stakeholders.",গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ বন্দৰসমূহৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত পি পি পি প্ৰকল্পসমূহৰ পুনৰ পৰ্যালোচনা কৰাৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত কেবিনেটৰ অনুমোদন https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/highlights-from-pms-address-to-the-parliament-on-no-confidence-motion/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%88-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B8/,"I urge all parties to reject the motion that has been moved in the House Today the nation has seen the negativity expressed by some members.

The Prime Minister also recalled his visit to the Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir on Diwali last year where he met Baldev Singh and Basant Singh who had played the role of child soldiers in the post-independence war. They helped the army at such a young age without caring about their life. The Prime Minister paid tribute to the bravery of these heroes. The Prime Minister cited examples of the bravery and sacrifice of the sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He pointed out that the Sahibzadas had sacrificed themselves with immense valour at a very young age. Their sacrifice for India’s civilization, culture, faith and religion is incomparable.

The Prime Minister said in areas where daughters were not even allowed earlier, daughters are doing wonders in them today. This is the new India, which does not hold back from innovating, courage and determination are the hallmarks of India today. The Prime Minister appreciated that the children of India have shown their modern and scientific thinking in the vaccination program as well.

I pay my respects to Paramahansa Yogananda, Mahayogi Gorakhnath ji, respectable Hanuman Prasad Poddar ji, and die-hard revolutionary Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil and to this holy land. Today that moment has come for which all of you were waiting for the fertilizer factory and AIIMS for a long time. Many congratulations to all of you.

When I came on stage, I was astonished looking at such a huge crowd and many of them who are far away perhaps might not even see or listen to me. People from far and wide are waving flags. Your love and blessings give energy and strength and inspire us to work for you. I came here five years ago to lay the foundation stone of AIIMS and fertilizer factory. You have given me the privilege of launching these two projects together today. The Regional Medical Research Center of ICMR has also got its new building today. I congratulate the people of UP very much. Friends, The launch of the fertilizer plant and AIIMS in Gorakhpur is sending out many messages. When there is a double engine government, then the work is also done with double the speed. When something is done with a good intention, then even disasters do not become a hindrance. When there is a government that cares about the poor, exploited and downtrodden and works hard for them, it leads to positive results. The event being held in Gorakhpur today is a proof of the fact that when a new India is determined then nothing is impossible. Friends, When you gave me the opportunity to serve in 2014, the fertilizer sector in the country was in a very bad shape. Major fertilizer factories of the country were closed for years and imports were increasing continuously. Another major problem was that the available fertilizer was secretly used for other purposes other than agriculture. Therefore, the shortage of urea used to hog the headlines and farmers had to bear sticks and bullets for fertilizer. We moved forward with a new resolve to extricate the country from that situation. We started working on three fronts simultaneously. To start with, we stopped the misuse of urea and made 100% neem coating of urea. Secondly, we gave soil health cards to crores of farmers so that they could identify the kind of fertilizers needed for their fields and thirdly, we emphasized on increasing the production of urea. We focused on reopening the closed fertilizer plants. Under this campaign, we selected four major fertilizer factories of the country, including this fertilizer plant in Gorakhpur. One has started working today and the rest will also be operational in the next few years. Friends, Another important thing has happened to start the Gorakhpur Fertilizer Plant. Just as Bhagiratha ji brought the River Ganga ji to earth from the heavens, similarly Urja Ganga has been used to bring fuel to this fertilizer plant. The Haldia-Jagdishpur pipeline has been laid under the PM Urja Ganga Gas Pipeline Project. Due to this pipeline, Gorakhpur Fertilizer Plant has not only started, but dozens of districts of Eastern India have started getting affordable piped gas. Brothers and sisters, While laying the foundation stone of the fertilizer plant, I had said that Gorakhpur would emerge as the pivot of development in this entire region because of this factory. Today I can see it come true. This fertilizer factory will not only give enough urea to many farmers of the state, but will also create thousands of new employment and self-employment opportunities in Purvanchal. Now a new possibility of economic development will emerge and many new businesses will start. Along with the ancillary industries associated with the fertilizer factory, the transportation and service sector will also get a boost. Friends, Gorakhpur Fertilizer Factory will play a huge role in making the country self-reliant in the production of urea. After the commissioning of five fertilizer plants being built in different parts of the country, 60 lakh tonnes of additional urea will be available. In other words, India will not have to send thousands of crores of rupees abroad; India’s money will be spent in India only. Friends, We have realized the importance of self-sufficiency in fertilizers during the Corona crisis. Corona led to worldwide lockdowns, restriction of movement from one country to another and supply chains were interrupted. This led to a steep rise in the prices of fertilizers internationally. But our government, which is dedicated and sensitive to the farmers, ensured not to let the burden of the price rise of fertilizers in the world pass on to the farmers. We took the responsibility to see that farmers had minimum problems. You will be surprised to know my brothers and sisters that we needed to increase the subsidy to the farmers by more than 43,000 crore rupees due to increase in the prices of the NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) fertilizer in the world and we did it. Our government also increased the subsidy to urea by Rs 33,000 crore so that our farmers were not burdened with the escalating prices of fertilizer. While urea is being sold at Rs 60-65 per kg in the international market, there is an effort to provide urea 10 to 12 times cheaper to farmers in India. Brothers and sisters, Today, India spends thousands of crores of rupees every year to import edible oil. In order to change this situation, a national mission has been started for the production of sufficient edible oil in the country itself. India also spends 5-7 lakh crore rupees every year on import of crude oil for petrol and diesel. We are also trying to reduce the import of crude oil by emphasizing on ethanol and bio-fuel. This area of Purvanchal is the stronghold of sugarcane farmers. Ethanol is turning out to be a much better source of income for sugarcane farmers than sugar. Several factories are being set up in Uttar Pradesh itself to make bio-fuel. Only 20 crore liters of ethanol from UP was supplied to oil companies before we formed the government. Today, the farmers of Uttar Pradesh alone are supplying almost 100 crore liters of ethanol to the oil companies. Earlier oil used to come from the Gulf and now oil from (sugarcane) crops has started coming. Today, I will appreciate the Yogi ji government for the unprecedented work for the sugarcane farmers in the past few years. Recently, remunerative price for sugarcane farmers has been increased to Rs.350 (per quintal). What the two previous governments paid to the sugarcane farmers in 10 years, Yogi ji’s government has paid almost as much in its four-and-a-half years. Brothers and sisters, The real development is that which is balanced and which is beneficial for all. And this can be understood only by those who are sensitive and who care about the poor. For a long time, this huge region, including Gorakhpur, was dependent only on one medical college. The poor and middle class families had to go to Banaras or Lucknow for treatment. You know better than me the situation of meningitis in this region till five years ago. The research center which used to run in the medical college here did not even have its own building. Brothers and sisters, When you gave us the opportunity to serve, you see AIIMS coming up here. Not only this, the research center’s own building is also ready. When I came to lay the foundation stone of AIIMS, I had said then that we would do our best to get this region rid of encephalitis. We worked on eliminating the causes of the outbreak of meningitis and also on its treatment. Today that hard work is visible on the ground. Today, the cases of encephalitis have reduced by almost 90 percent in seven districts of Gorakhpur and Basti division. We are succeeding in saving more and more lives of children who fall sick. The work done by the Yogi government in this regard is now being talked about internationally as well. With the new AIIMS and ICMR Research Center, the campaign to get rid of encephalitis will be further strengthened. This will also help UP a lot in the prevention of other infectious diseases and epidemics. Brothers and sisters, For any country to progress, it is very necessary that its health services should be affordable and accessible to all. Otherwise, I have also seen a lot of people traveling from one city to another, mortgaging their land and borrowing money from others for treatment. I am working hard to get every poor, downtrodden, oppressed, exploited, underprivileged, whatever class they belong to and in whatever area they live in to get out of this mess. Earlier it was thought that medical institutions like AIIMS are only meant for big cities,whereas our government is ensuring the best treatment, the biggest hospital to the farthest areas of the country. Can you imagine there was only one AIIMS in the country since independence till the beginning of this century? Atal ji had sanctioned six more AIIMS during his tenure. Work is underway to build 16 new AIIMS across the country in the last seven years. Our goal is that every district of the country must have at least one medical college. I am happy that the work of medical colleges is progressing rapidly in many districts in UP also. And just now Yogi ji was describing in detail the progress of medical colleges.Recently, you gave me the opportunity to inaugurate nine medical colleges in UP simultaneously. It is the result of the top priority being given to health that UP is reaching the milestone of about 17 crore vaccination doses. Brothers and sisters, The health, convenience and prosperity of more than 130 crore countrymen is paramount to us, particularly for our mothers, sisters and daughters whose health and facilities received very little attention. In the past few years, our sisters have got pucca houses, toilets, which you people call ‘Izzat Ghar’,electricity, gas, water, nutrition, vaccination etc and their results are now visible. The recent Family Health Survey also points out many positive signs. For the first time in the country, the number of women has exceeded that of men. Better health facilities have also played a big role in this. In the last 5-6 years, the ownership of land and house of women has increased. Uttar Pradesh is among the top states in this regard. Similarly, there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of women using bank accounts and mobile phones. Friends, While talking to you today, I am reminded of the dubious attitude of the earlier governments and their apathy towards the people. I purposely want to mention this. Everyone knew the importance of the fertilizer plant of Gorakhpur for the farmers of this entire region and for employment here. But the earlier governments did not show any interest in starting it. Everyone knew that the demand for AIIMS in Gorakhpur was being raised for years. But those who were running the government before 2017 made all kinds of excuses in providing land for AIIMS. I rememberthe land for Gorakhpur AIIMS was allotted by the previous government very reluctantly andthat too out of compulsion. Friends, Today’s event is also a befitting reply to those people who are very fond of questioning timings. When such projects are completed, years of hard work is involved in it. These people will never understand that the double engine government remained engaged in development and did not let the work stop even during the Corona crisis. My dear brothers and sisters, These people have abandoned the ideals of Lohia ji, Jai Prakash Narayan ji, the discipline of these great personalities long ago. Today the entire UP knows very well that those with red caps have been concerned with red beacons on their cars and they have nothing to do with your hardship. The red-cap people want power for scams, to fill their chests, for illegal occupations and to give free rein to the mafia. The red-cap people want to form the government to show favour to the terrorists and to get them out of jail. Therefore, remember, those wearing red caps are a red alert to UP, i.e., alarm bells! Friends, The sugarcane farmers of UP cannot forget the earlier government which was there before Yogi ji as they had a tough time in getting their dues. It used to take months before the amount was paid in installments. There were different types of games played and scams committed related to sugar mills. People of Purvanchal and UP know this very well. Friends, Our double engine government is committed to serving you and making your life easier. We do not want you to pass on the troubles that you have inherited to your children. We want to change this. The country has also seen those days of the earlier governments when the poor did not get food grains despite having plenty of it. Today our government has opened government godowns for the poor and Yogi ji is busy delivering food grains to every household. About 15 crore people of UP are getting its benefit. Recently, the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana has been extended till Holi. Friends, Earlier, some districts of UP were VIP districts in the matter of power supply. Yogi ji has made every district of UP a VIP district by providing electricity. Today, every village is getting equal and abundant electricity under Yogi ji’s government. Earlier governments had defamed UP by providing protection to criminals. Today mafias are in jail and investors are investing openly in UP. That’s the double development of the double engine. Therefore, UP has faith in the double engine government. With the expectation that we will continue to receive your blessings, many congratulations to all of you once again! Speak loudly with me, Bharat Mata ki Jai! Bharat Mata ki Jai! Bharat Mata ki Jai! Thanks a lot.",উত্তৰ প্ৰদেশৰ গোৰখপুৰত বিভিন্ন উন্নয়নমূলক প্ৰকল্পৰ উদ্বোধনী অনুষ্ঠানত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীৰ ভাষণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবা https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-condoles-demise-of-noted-santoor-maestro-pandit-shivkumar-sharma/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%A6-%E0%A6%AA/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed deep grief over the demise of noted Santoor maestro, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma.

Farmers will be provided with all requisite information detailing the benefits of adopting natural farming methods. The government has been driven by the Prime Minister’s vision for farmer welfare. It has been committed towards ensuring an increase in productivity, so that farmers are able to maximize their agri-potential. Government has initiated several measures to transform agriculture and increase farmers’ income. Efforts are underway to promote and support initiatives leading to sustainability of the system, cost reduction, market access and better value realization to farmers. Zero Budget Natural Farming is a promising tool to minimize the dependence of farmers on purchased inputs, and reduces the cost of agriculture by relying on traditional field based technologies which lead to improved soil health. Desi cow, its dung and urine play an important role from which various inputs are made on the farm and provide necessary nutrients to soil. Other traditional practices such mulching the soil with biomass or keeping the soil covered with green cover round the year, even in the very low water availability situations, ensure sustained productivity even from the first year of adoption. To emphasize on such strategies and to deliver the message to farmers across the country, the Government of Gujarat is organizing the National Conclave on Natural Farming. The three day Summit is being organized from 14th to 16th December, 2021. It is being attended by over 5000 farmers who will be present in the Summit, apart from farmers being connecting Live through Central Institutes of ICAR, Krishi Vigyan Kendras and ATMA (Agricultural Technology Management Agency) network in the States.",প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে ১৬ ডিচেম্বৰত কৃষি আৰু খাদ্য প্ৰক্ৰিয়াকৰণৰ ওপৰত ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় সন্মিলনৰ সময়ত কৃষকসকলক সম্বোধন কৰিব https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-pays-tributes-to-jagadguru-basaveshwara-on-basava-jayanthi/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%81%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi paid tributes to Jagadguru Basaveshwara on the sacred occasion of Basava Jayanthi today.

When on the one hand, a sense of festivity pervades the land, and on the other, news of violence comes in, from one part of the country, it is only natural of be concerned. Ours is the country of Buddha and Gandhi, it is the land of Sardar Patel who gave up his all for the unity of the nation. For centuries, our forefathers have imbibed community values, nonviolence, mutual respect – these are inherent to us. We have been hearing and saying Ahimsa Parmo Dharmah from our childhood. In my address from the ramparts of the Red Fort, I had said that violence in the name of faith will not be tolerated, whether it is communal belief systems, whether it is subscribing to political ideologies, whether it is allegiance to a person or customs and traditions. No one has the right to take the law into one’s own hands in the name of one’s beliefs. In the Constitution given to us by Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar there is every provision for ensuring justice for each and every person. I want to assure my countrymen that people who take the law into their own handsand are on the path of violent suppression – whether it is a person or a group –neither this country nor any government will tolerate it. Each and every person will have to abide by the law; the law will fix accountability and the guilty will unquestionably be punished. My dear countrymen, our country is a land of diversities – these diversities are not limited to our cuisine, life style and attire. We observe diversity in every walk of life. Even our festivals are replete with diversity. Ours is arich cultural heritage, spanning thousands of years – when we look at our cultural traditions, social customs, historical events, there would hardly be a day left in the year which is not connected with a festival. You would have noticed, that all our festivals follow the almanac of nature. There is a direct connect with nature. Many of our festivals are linked straightaway with farmers and fishermen. Speaking about festivals today, I would first like to wish you all michhamidukkadam. The Jain community celebrated the Samvatsari Parva yesterday. In the month of Bhadra, ParyushanParva is celebrated by the Jain Community. The last day of ParyushanParva is observed as Samvatsari. This is indeed a remarkable tradition. The festival of Samvatsari is symbolic of forgiveness, non-violence and brotherhood. It is also known as the KshamavaniParva, and on this day, people traditionally greet each other with, ‘michhamidukkadam.’ We have been hearing in our shaastras, our holy texts, “KshamaVeerasya Bhushanam”, that is, forgiveness is the adornment of the brave. The one who forgives is valiant. And Mahatma Gandhi always said, that forgiveness is the quality of great men. Shakespeare in his play, “The Merchant of Venice”, while explaining the importance of forgiveness, has written, “Mercy is twice blest, It blesseth him that gives and him that takes,” meaning, the forgiver and the forgiven both stand to receive divine blessing. My dear countrymen, Ganesh Chaturthi is being celebrated with great fervor all across the country. When we speak of Ganesh Chaturthi, it is but natural to talk about Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav, that is, community celebrations of the Ganesh Festival. This tradition was established by Bal Gangadhar Tilak 125 years ago, and it was 125 years ago that Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav became a symbol of India’s struggle for freedom. And after Independence, this festival has become a vehicle of raising social and educational awareness. Ganesh Chaturthi is a ten-day festival. This Mahaparva, mega-festival stands for unity, equality, integrity and honesty. My heartiest greetings to all of you on the occasion of Ganeshotsav. The festival of Onam is being celebrated in Kerela. Of the numerous colourful festivals of India, Onam is a prime festival of Kerela. This festival is known for its social and cultural significance. This festival showcases the rich cultural heritage of Kerala. It gives the message of love and harmony – awakens new hopes and aspirations, and gives new confidence to the people. Our festivals are now becoming great attractions for tourism. And I would like to mention to my countrymen, that festivals like Navaratri in Gujarat, or Durga Utsav in Bengal are tremendous tourist attractions. Other festivals of our country too, provide an opportunity to attract foreign visitors. We should think about what more can be done in this direction. In this series of festivals, Eid-ul-Zuha will be celebrated in a few days from now. Heartiest felicitations and best wishes to all countrymen on the occasion of Eid-ul-Zuha. Festivals are of course symbols of faith and belief; in the New India, we should transform them into symbols of cleanliness as well. In individual households, festivals and cleanliness are linked together. In fact, preparations for festivals always begin with cleaning. This is nothing new for us, but it is important to convert it into a social character. Public cleanliness must be insisted upon not just in our homes but in our villages, towns, cities, states and in our entire country – Cleanliness has to be inextricably linked to our festivals. My dear countrymen, definitions of being modern are perpetually changing. These days, a new measure to gauge a new dimension, a new parameter, has come in to being. It determines what your upbringing has been, how modern you are, how modern your thinking is. And that measure is your level of environment consciousness. Are your activities ecofriendly, environment friendly or otherwise? It is considered to be unacceptable in society today, of you are not environment friendly. And as a result of this I find that, the ecofriendly Ganpati, in this Ganesh Festival has turned into a huge campaign.If you go on YouTube, you will see that children in every home are making earthen Ganesh idols and are colouring them. Some are using vegetable colours, while some are pasting bits and pieces `of paper. All sorts of experiments are being carried out in every family. This is probably the first of its kind, the most widespread experiment in environment consciousness. Media houses too, are making a great effort in training people, inspiring them and guiding them towards ecofriendly Ganesh idols. What a massive transformation this has been; a pleasant one at that. And as I mentioned, our country is blessed with millions and millions of the brightest of brains. And it is nice to see all sorts of new innovations. Someone told me about a gentleman who is an engineer and who has collected and combined special varieties of clay, to give training in making Ganesh idols. The Ganesh Visarjan or immersion is done in a small bucket of water, where the idol dissolves within no time. And he didn’t stop there. A tulsi, Holy Basil, sapling was sowed in it. The campaign for Cleanliness which was initiated three years ago will be marking its third anniversary on the 2nd of October. And the positive results are now being seen. Toilets have increased from 39% to almost 67% of the population? More than two lakh thirty thousand villages have declared themselves open defecation free. Gujarat saw devastating floods recently. Many people lost their lives. When the waters receded, there was so much filth everywhere. That is when, in Dhanera in the Banaskantha District of Gujarat, volunteers of Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hind cleaned twenty-two affected temples and two mosques in a phased manner. They came together and toiled collectively. The volunteers of Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hindset a fine, inspiring example of unity for cleanliness. If this committed effort towards cleanliness become inherent to us, our country will certainly take our nation to greater heights. My dear countrymen, I call upon you to begin a campaign, Swachchata Hi Sewa, Cleanliness is Service, at least fifteen-twenty days prior to Gandhi Jayanti on 2nd October – on the lines of the age-old belief, Jal Seva Yahi Prabhu Seva, Service to Water is Service to God. Let’s create an environment of cleanliness in the entire country. Whenever and wherever possible, let’s look for the opportunity. But we must all come together. We could look at this as preparations for Diwali, preparations for Navaratri, preparations for Durga Puja. Do Shramdan, Donate through labor. Come together on Sundaysand Holidays. Go to settlements in your neighborhood, go to nearby villages, but do this in the form of a movement. I urge all NGOs, schools, colleges, social, cultural and political leaders, people in the government, collectors and sarpanches, to begin creating an environment of cleanliness at least fifteen days ahead of Gandhi Jayanti on the 2nd of October so that it turns out to be the 2nd October of Gandhi’s dreams. The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation has created a section on MyGov.in where after constructing a toilet you can register your name and the name of the beneficiary family, who you helped. My friends from the social media can run a few creative campaigns and thus become a source of inspiration in the virtual world, to see results in the real world. The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation has organized, the Swachch Sankalp se Swachcha Siddhi Pratiyogita, From the resolve of Cleanliness to attaining Cleanliness Competition comprising an essay competition, a short film making competition and a painting competition. You can write essays in various languages and there is no age limit. You can make a short film even with your mobile phone. You can film a two-three-minute movie that inspires cleanliness. It can be in any language; it could be silent too. The best three participants – three at the district level, three at the state level will be given prizes. I invite one and all – Come, join the Cleanliness Campaign in this manner as well. I would like to reiterate, let’s resolve to celebrate, 2nd October Gandhi Jayanti this year as Swachch Do Aktoobar, Clean 2nd October. And to this end beginning 15th September let us take the mantra, the message, Swachchata Hi Seva, Cleanliness is Service to each and every home. Take one or another step towards cleanliness. Make your effort to be a part of it. You will see how the Gandhi Jayanti of this 2nd October shines. You can imagine the inner bliss of paying homage to our revered Bapu, with fifteen days of this cleanliness campaign, Swachchata Hi Seva, when we celebrate Gandhi Jayanti on the 2nd of October. My dear countrymen, I want to specially express my indebtedness to you. I want to thank you from the core of my heart, not because you have been connected with Mann Ki Baat, for such a long time – I want to express my gratitude and indebtedness as millions of people from across the country come together with Mann ki Baat. The number of listeners are in crores out of which lakhs of people write letters to me, send messages, and get their messages recorded on phone, which is a huge treasure for me. This has become a great opportunity for me to understand the hearts and minds of one and all. Much as you wait for Mann ki Baat, I await your messages with greater eagerness. I always look forward with anticipation, because I find so much to learn from all that you share. It is an opportunity to test my endeavors on this touchstone. Even the smallest of your suggestions help me in thinking anew on a wide variety of subjects. I therefore express my heartfelt gratitude for your contributions and also my indebtedness to you. My endeavor always is to see for myself, hear, read and understand your thoughts. All sorts of things come to me. Now take this phone call for example. You will be able to correlate with it. You too would feel that, you would’ve committed the same mistake. Sometimes certain things become a part of our habits, that we don’t even realize that we are doing something wrong. “Pradhan Mantri ji, I am Aparna from Pune. I want to tell you about a friend of mine. She always tries to help others, but one habit of hers amazes me. I went for shopping with her at a mall. She coolly spent two thousand rupees on a sari, and four hundred and fifty rupees on a pizza. Whereas, she haggled for a long time, over merely five rupees, with the auto driver, who took us to the mall. On the way back, we stopped to buy vegetables, and again she haggled with the vendors to save 4-5 rupees. I feel very bad. We spend extravagantly in high places, without a single thought, but when it comes to our hardworking brethren, we quarrel with them over small amounts. We don’t trust them. Please speak about this on Mann ki Baat.” Now after listening to this phone call, I am certain that you would have been shocked and awakened and would probably have resolved not to repeat such a mistake. Don’t you feel that whenever a vendor comes to your door to sell something, on his rounds, when we come into contact with small shopkeepers, vegetable sellers, auto rickshaw drivers – in fact any person who earns through sheer hard work – we start bargaining with him, haggling with him: “No not so much, make it two rupees less, five rupees less!” And it is us, the same people, who go to dine at a fine restaurant, we don’t even bother to check the bill, we just go ahead and pay the money, without thinking twice. Not just this, when we go to a showroom to buy a saree, we don’t bargain, but when it comes to someone poor, we just cannot resist bargaining. Have you ever wondered what a poor man goes through? It is not a matter of two or five rupees, it hurts him deeply, when he feels that you are questioning his honesty. Two or five rupees make no difference to your life, but have you thought how much heartache this petty habit of yours can cause him. Madam I am grateful to you for calling me with this touching message. I am certain that my countrymen, if they are in the habit of behaving in this way with the poor will now stop doing so. My dear young friends, the country celebrates National Sports Day on the 29th of August. This is the birth anniversary of the great hockey player, hockey wizard, Major Dhyan Chand ji. His contribution to hockey was unparalleled. I am reminding you of this because I want the younger generation of our country to take part in sports. Sports should become a part of our lives. If we are a young nation, our youth should get manifested in the field sports as well. Sports means, physical fitness, mental alertness and personality enhancement. What else does one need? Sports, in a way, is a recipe that brings people together. The young generation of our country should come forward in the world of sports – and in today’s computer era I would like to alert you to the fact that the playing field is far more important than the play station. Play FIFA on the computer, but sometimes show your skills with the football out in the field. You must be playing cricket on the computer but the pleasure of actually playing cricket in an open field under the sky is something else. There was a time when the children in the family went out to play, the mother would first ask, “When will you come back home?” Now the times are such that children, when they come home, they either start watching cartoons in a corner, or are glued to mobile games. And the mother has to shout, “When will you go out?” How times have changed! There was a time when the mother would demand to know when her son would be back. And today, she demands to know when he will go out. Young friends, the Sports Ministry is launching a Sports Talent Search Portal to search for sporting talent and to groom them. Any talented child who has an achievement in sports, can upload his biodata or video on this portal. The Ministry of Sports will impart training to selected emerging players. The Ministry is launching the portal tomorrow. The good news for our young friends is that the FIFA Under 17 World Cup is being organized in India, from the 6th to the 28th of October. Twenty-four teams from all over the world will be making India their home. Come, let’s welcome the young visitors from all across the world with the festival of Sports, let’s enjoy the sport, and create a conducive sporting atmosphere in the country. I speak about sports today, and just last week, a heartwarming incident took place, which I would like to share with my countrymen. I had the opportunity to meet some young daughters, some of who, were born in the Himalayas, who had absolutely no connection with the sea. Six of these young daughters are in the Navy. Their grit and zeal, is inspiring for all of us. These six young women will embark on a voyage across the seas, in a small boat, INS Tarini. The expedition has been named, Navika Sagar Parikrama. They will circumnavigate the globe and return home, after many months. Sometimes they will spend 40 days on the seas in one go; at times, thirty. Our six daughters riding the waves of the high seas, with courage, is the first instance of its kind in the world. Each and every Indian would be proud of these daughters. I salute their valour and I have asked them to share their experiences with the entire country. I too am making a separate arrangement for their experiences on the Narendra Modi App to ensure that you can read it. For this is a tale of heroism, a tale of personal experiences, and I would be happy to bring you the stories of these daughters. My best wishes and blessings to these daughters. My dear countrymen, we celebrate 5th September as Teacher’s Day. It is the birthday of our former President, Dr. Radhakrishnan ji. He was the President, but all through his life, he saw himself as a teacher. He preferred to live a teacher’s life. He was committed to being a teacher. He was a scholar, a diplomat, the President of India and yet, quintessentially a teacher. I salute him. The great scientist Albert Einstein said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” The most important quality of a teacher, is to awaken in his students, a sense of creativity and the joy of learning. As we celebrate Teacher’s Day this year can we come together and take a resolve? Can we run a campaign in mission mode? Teach to Transform, Educate to Empower, Learn to Lead. Can we move ahead with this resolve? Get someone committed to a five-year resolve. Show him the path of attainment, which he can achieve in five years – so that he can experience the joy of success in life. Such an atmosphere can be created by our schools, our colleges, our teachers, our educational institutions. When we speak about transformation in our country, we must think of our teachers as we do of our mothers. The teacher plays a vital role in transformation. In the life of every teacher, there are incidents of simple efforts that succeeded in bringing about a transformation in somebody’s life. We will play a big role in the transformation of the nation, if we make a collective effort. Come, let’s move forward with the mantra, Teach to Transform. “Pranam Pradhan Mantri ji, I am Dr. Ananya Awasthi. I am a resident of Mumbai and work for the India Research Centre of Harvard University. As a researcher, I have been specially interested in Financial Inclusion. With reference to the social schemes related to Financial Inclusion, my question to you is: In the backdrop of the Jan DhanYojna launched in 2014, can you say that, do the statistics show that today, three years later, India is financially more secure and stronger, and whether this empowerment and benefits have percolated down to our women, farmers and workers, in villages and small towns. Thank you.” My dear countrymen, the Pradhan Mantri Jan DhanYojna, financial inclusion, had been a point of discussion amongst Financial Pundits, not just in India, but all over the world. On the 28th of August 2014, we had launched this campaign with a dream in our hearts. Tomorrow on the 28th of August, the Pradhan Mantri Jan DhanYojna will complete three years. Thirty crore new families have been linked to this scheme, bank accounts have been opened. This number is larger than the population of many countries of the world. And today I feel a great sense of fulfilment, that within three years, the last man on the fringes of society has become a part of the mainstream economy of the country. His ways have changed, he has now started going to the bank. He has started saving his money. He feels financially secure. When there is cash in the hand, or in the pocket or at home, one is tempted to indulge in wasteful expenditure. There is now an air of prudence. He is now beginning to understand that the money can be of use for his children. The money can be used productively in the days to come. Not just this, when a poor person sees a RuPay Card, in his pocket, he finds himself to be equal to the privileged – that if they have a credit card in their pockets, I too have a RuPay Card in mind. He feels a sense of dignity. In the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna, almost 65 thousand crore rupees have deposited in banks by our underprivileged brethren. In a way, this is a saving for the poor, this is his empowerment for the future. And those who opened their accounts under the Pradhan Mantri Jan DhanYojna, have received the benefit of insurance as well. Schemes like, Pradhan Mantri Jeewan Jyoti Bima Yojna, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojna, with a small premium of one rupee or thirty rupees, are giving a new sense of confidence to the poor. For many families, in times of adversity, or on the demise of the head of the family, through the one-rupee insurance, they received two lakh rupees in a matter of days. Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojna, Start Up Yojna, Stand Up Yojna – for Dalits, Adivasis, women, educated youth, youth who want to stand on their own feet – for millions and millions through Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojna, they have been able to get loans from banks without any guarantee. They have been able to stand on their own feet and have succeeded in giving employment to one or two other people as well. Banks have conducted surveys about how the common man has benefitted from Jan DhanYojna, from Insurance Schemes, from RuPay Card and Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojna. I recently met a few bankers, who shared inspiring stories from their survey. There isn’t enough time today, but I would certainly like request the bankers to upload these inspiring stories, on MyGov.in, so that people can read them and be inspired by how a scheme can bring about transformation in the life of a person, how it can bring a new energy, a new confidence – hundreds of examples have come before me. I will try my best to bring these to you; and the media can also take advantage of these inspiring stories. They too, can interview such people, and inspire the young generation. My dear countrymen, once again, I wish you “michchamidukkadm.” Thank you very much.",২৭.০৮.২০১৭ত আকাশবাণীত প্ৰধানমন্ত্ৰীয়ে আগবঢ়োৱা ‘মন কী বাত’ অনুষ্ঠানৰ ভাষণৰ ইংৰাজী সংস্কৰণৰ অসমীয়া অনুবাদ https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/pm-congratulates-sanket-sargar-for-bagging-sliver-medal-in-55-kg-category-weightlifting/,https://www.pmindia.gov.in/asm/news_updates/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A6%95-%E0%A7%AB%E0%A7%AB-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D/,"The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated Sanket Sargar for bagging the sliver medal in 55 kg Category Weightlifting in the Commonwealth Games 2022.

This will help everyone in targeted, transparent and leakage free delivery. He said e-RUPI is a symbol of how India is progressing by connecting people’s lives with technology. He also expressed happiness that this futuristic reform initiative has come at a time when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav on the 75th anniversary of independence. He said in addition to the government, if any organization wants to help someone in their treatment, education or for any other work, then they will be able to give an eRUPI voucher instead of cash. This will ensure that the money given by him is used for the work for which the amount was given. The Prime Minister said eRUPI is person as well as purpose specific. eRUPI will ensure that the money is being used for the purpose for which any help or any benefit is being provided. The Prime Minister recalled that there was a time when technology was considered a domain of the rich people and there was no scope for technology in a poor country like India. He remembered when this government took technology as a mission, it was questioned by the political leaders and certain types of experts. He added that today the country has also denied the thinking of those people, and has proved them wrong. Today the thinking of the country is different, it is new. Today we are seeing technology as a tool to help the poor, a tool for their progress. The Prime Minister noted how technology is bringing in transparency and integrity in transections and creating new opportunities and making them available to the poor. He mentioned that for reaching today’s unique product, foundation was prepared over the years by creating the JAM system which connected mobile and Aadhaar. Benefits of JAM took some time to be visible to people and we saw how we could help the needy during the lockdown period while other countries were struggling to help their people, said the Prime Minister. He noted that in India, more than seventeen and half lakh crore rupees have been transferred directly to the accounts of the people via Direct Benefit Transfer. More than three hundred schemes are using DBT. 90 crore Indian are being benefited in some way or the other through in areas like LPG, ration, medical treatment, scholarship, pension or wage disbursal. 1 lakh 35 thousand crore rupees have directly been transferred to farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, 85 thousand crore rupees for government purchase of wheat were also disbursed in this manner. “The biggest benefit of this all is that 1 lakh 78 thousand crore rupees were prevented from going to the wrong hands, ” he added. The Prime Minister noted that development of digital transactions in India has empowered the poor and deprived, small businesses, farmers and tribal population. This can be felt in the record of 300 crore UPI transactions in the month of July amounting to 6 lakh crore rupees. The Prime Minister said India is proving to the world that we are second to none in adopting technology and adapting to it. When it comes to innovations, use of technology in service delivery, he said that India has the ability to give global leadership alongside major countries of the world. The Prime Minister said that the PM Svanidhi Yojana has helped more than 23 lakh street vendors in small towns and large cities of the country. During this pandemic period, about Rs 2300 crore has been disbursed to them.
