Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday detailed his vision and road map to make India a developed nation by 2047, underlining public confidence in government, the belief of the ordinary citizen, and a transformation of the social mindset as crucial propellers of that journey.
Delivering the inaugural address of the 22nd Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Modi hailed the centenary of Hindustan Times, noted that the newspaper was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1924, and released a commemorative postage stamp to mark the historic occasion.
He spoke about the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government's record in delivering public goods and welfare benefits, eschewing vote bank politics, restoring public confidence in governance, and giving the administration a higher purpose attaining developed country status by the centenary of India's independence, August 15, 1947.
He also spoke about his government's mantra of investment for employment, development to dignity, and of spending big on the people and saving big for the people. He urged Indians to transform their social mindset and not accept anything other than worldclass standards.
"We have made a long journey. From the freedom struggle to the aspirations of a post-Independence India, this is an extraordinary and wonderful journey... and the people who have showed India the way forward are the ordinary citizen, and her capacity and sagacity," Modi said.
"There is a thinking and an expectation that the 21st century will be India's century. But for this to happen, we have to work rapidly and make more effort. We are working hard towards that mission," he added.
Modi gave examples to illustrate the contribution of his government to India's development journey, and how it boosted the capacity and trust of ordinary citizens, and their risk-taking ability.
