Lauding his government for the speed and scale of its planning, Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi praised the '100-day' plans of various sectors focused on infrastructure and social development.
The PM spoke at the inaugural session of the 4th RE-Invest, a flagship event of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
"The government's work in the first 100 days highlights its priorities and reflects its speed and scale. In these 100 days, multiple decisions have been made to expand the nation's physical and social infrastructure.
India is on track to build 70 million houses, more than the population of many countries, while 40 million homes have already been provided during the last two terms," the PM said.
