Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed India’s position as a global economic leader, stating that the country is on a “sustained high growth” trajectory. Speaking at the Kautilya Economic Conclave, he emphasized the government’s commitment to making India a developed nation by 2047.
Inclusive Growth and Poverty Reduction
Modi highlighted that India’s growth is not only robust but also inclusive. In the past 10 years, 25 crore (250 million) people have been lifted out of poverty, defying the belief that growth leads to inequality.
India’s Global Leadership in Technology
India has become a leader in fintech, digital transactions, and startups. With the world’s second-highest internet usage and the third-largest startup ecosystem, Modi called India the “sweet spot” of global innovation.
Major Infrastructure and Policy Reforms
Modi outlined bold reforms in his third term, including projects worth ₹15 lakh crore. Mega infrastructure initiatives, such as 12 industrial smart cities and 30 million new houses for the poor, are part of the government’s vision for sustained growth.
Green Energy Revolution
The PM Surya Ghar Yojana, India’s rooftop solar power initiative, has registered over 1.3 crore families, generating solar power and preventing millions of tonnes of carbon emissions, while creating 17 lakh new jobs.
Strong Public Trust and Support
The Prime Minister emphasized the public’s trust in the government, as reflected by the consecutive election victories. The reform agenda continues to prioritize jobs, innovation, and sustainable growth to drive the nation forward.
India remains poised to lead the world economically, technologically, and environmentally, according to Modi’s vision for the future.
