Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the national flag from the ramparts of the Red Fort on Independence Day. After that addressed the nation. In his 98-minute long speech, PM Modi also mentioned the new education policy ranging from secular code, reforms, atrocities against women, corruption and medical education. PM Modi said that now we want to become self-reliant. Unfortunately, after independence in our country, people had to go through a kind of mother-father culture. Keep asking from the government, keep extending your hands to the government. We have changed this model of governance. Today the government itself goes to the beneficiaries. Read 10 big things from PM Modi’s speech…
1. The fight against corruption will continue…
Prime Minister Modi has made it clear from the ramparts of the Red Fort that the fight against corruption will continue. PM Modi had said that I will deal with the corrupt. Can anyone imagine that some people are emerging in my country who are glorifying corruption? Efforts are being made to sow such seeds in the society, it is a challenge for a healthy society. It is right to keep distance from the corrupt, they should not be glorified. PM Modi said that I want to tell the countrymen that with our dedication towards the nation with good intentions, we will win the hearts of the people going on the opposite path. Will leave no stone unturned to realize the dreams of the nation. We will defeat those with bad intentions with good intentions. Every countryman of ours has been troubled by the termite of corruption. His anger towards injustice hinders the progress of the nation. I worked for this, even if I have to pay my reputation, I will pay.
2. Message given to the world…
PM Modi said that even when we were prosperous in the world, we did not give war to the world. I assure the world community that you should understand the values of India. Understand thousands of years of history of India. Don’t consider us a crisis. This land has the potential for world welfare. It is in our nature to face challenges. We will leave no stone unturned to change the destiny of our countrymen to fulfill our resolutions. We will win with good intentions. The PM also mentioned the violence in Bangladesh and said, 140 crore Indians are also worried about the safety of Hindus and other minorities amid the unrest in Bangladesh. India has always wished that its neighboring countries should follow the path of prosperity and peace. As a neighboring country, I can understand the concern over what has happened in Bangladesh. I hope that the situation there will become normal as soon as possible. The concern of 140 crore countrymen is to ensure the safety of Hindus and minorities there. In the coming days, India will continue to extend its “best wishes to Bangladesh” in its ‘Development Journey’ as we think about the welfare of mankind.
3. The resolution of developed India…
PM Narendra Modi said, this is the golden period of India. 2047 is waiting for developed India. The country is committed to moving ahead with new resolve, overcoming obstacles, hurdles and challenges. There is no hesitation in my views. There is no curtain in front of my dreams. I can clearly see that due to the hard work of 140 crore countrymen, the blood of our ancestors is in our veins. If those 40 crore people can fulfill the dreams of independence then 140 crore countrymen can realize the dream of developed India. I had said earlier also that the country will not only become the third largest economy, but I will also work at three times the speed. I will work three times comprehensively so that the dreams I have for the country are fulfilled. My every moment is for the country. Every moment is for the country. Every particle of mine is only for Maa Bharati. Therefore, with the commitment of 24/7 and 2047, I appeal to the countrymen to resolve the dreams that our ancestors had seen. Combine your efforts and 21st century is India’s century. Keep creating a golden India in this century. Keep making India a developed India in this century. Move forward fulfilling those dreams. I will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling the responsibility you have given me. I will not lag behind in hard work. I never shy away from courage. I am not afraid to face challenges, because I live for you and your future.
4. There should be a secular code in the country…
PM Modi said that discussion of Uniform Civil Code is going on in our country. The Supreme Court has also discussed the Uniform Civil Code. Have ordered several times. Because a large section of the country believes that the civil code with which we are living is actually a communal and discriminatory civil code. Now we will have to move towards secular civil code. PM Modi said that the spirit of our Constitution says that there should be a serious discussion in the country on this subject, which laws divide the country on the basis of religion. Such laws do not create a modern society. This was also the dream of the country’s constitution makers. There can be no place in the country for laws which divide the country on the basis of religion, which create discrimination. There has been a Communal Civil Code in the country for 75 years.
5. Mantra given by Designing India
PM Modi has also given the mantra of Designing India. PM said, India will be known for its best quality, for this we have to emphasize on designing India. We have to try that now Indian standards will become international standards, this should be our aim. Our focus should be on Designing India and Designing for the World. The world of gaming is emerging rapidly today. We can bring new talent into the world of gaming. I want the children of India, the youth of India, IT, AI professionals to make a name for themselves in the world of gaming and develop games. We have expanded renewable energy. In the coming few years, we are moving towards a net zero future. What the G20 countries could not do, my countrymen have done. India is the only country to achieve the net zero targets set for the environment. We will be able to achieve 500 gigawatt solar energy. Our Railways is aiming for net zero emissions by 2030. We are moving forward with the Green Hydrogen Mission. Policies are being made very fast. India is moving towards green hydrogen.
6. Emphasis given on connecting technology
PM Modi said, we want to move forward keeping the world’s best practices forward. There is a need for innovation in every sector. There is a need to integrate technology. This is becoming possible due to new policies. We have set out with full strength. Have blossomed. Look closely at the accomplishment and imbibe it and move in this direction. I am talking about the grassroots level, our 10 crore sisters are associated with women’s self groups. Women are becoming financially independent. She is becoming a partner in the family’s decisions. On the other hand, our CEOs are earning fame all over the world, while on the other hand, one crore sisters become Lakhpati Didi. PM Modi said, the way the world is changing. Now the importance of skills has increased, hence we are focusing on skill development. If the power of youth is visible in the market, then we want to make the youth of the country skilled. The youth of the country should make their mark in the global job market. We are moving forward with that dream. Today, the world is growing so fast that we should pay attention to science. We are focusing on research. It has been decided to allocate Rs 1 lakh crore for research, which will lead to new inventions.
7. Strict message on violence against women…
There is anger across the country over the rape and murder of a female doctor in Kolkata. Prime Minister Modi said, today I want to express my pain once again from the Red Fort. As a society, we have to think seriously about the atrocities on women. There is anger against this in the country. I can feel this anger. The country, society and state governments will have to take this seriously. There should be prompt investigation into crimes against women and strict punishment should be given to those who commit these monstrous acts as soon as possible. This is necessary to instill confidence in the society. The Prime Minister said that when a person with such demonic tendencies is punished, it is not seen in the news, but remains confined to a corner. He stressed that the need of the hour is to have a comprehensive discussion on those who have been punished so that those who commit the sin understand that it leads to the death penalty. I think it is very important to create this fear.
8. What to say on the new education policy…
PM Modi said that under the new education policy, we want to develop such an education system in the country that the youth of my country do not have to go abroad, middle class families do not have to spend lakhs and crores of rupees. We want to build such institutions here where people from foreign countries come to India. We are not going to be satisfied with what has happened. We want to make development and prosperity our nature. Today, due to the new education policy, arrangements are being made as per the 21st century. I do not want children from middle class families to go abroad to study and spend a lot of money. I want that there should be such an education system in India so that children from abroad come to study here. PM Modi also said that today the youth of the country are going out for medical studies, hence we have increased the number of medical seats to one lakh in the last ten years. About 25 thousand youth are going abroad for medical education, hence we have decided that 75 thousand new seats will be created in the medical line in the next five years.
9. What did the PM say about the reform?
PM Modi mentioned reforms in every sector. PM said, we have given shape to the resolve and aspirations of the poor, the deprived and the youth. Our reforms are not for four days’ applause. I can say today that our reform is a blueprint for growth. We did not do this due to political compulsion. This was not done by dividing and multiplying politics. We work with the resolve to make the nation first and India become great. We have implemented reforms on the ground. Developed India 2047 should also be a healthy India, hence a nutrition campaign has been launched for the first generation of developed India. We have to reform agriculture. There will be freedom from old traditions. We are helping farmers, giving easy loans, giving them technology. Production capacity is decreasing, hence there is a big provision in the budget for those farmers who are doing natural farming. Reforms on governance will fulfill the dream of developed India. Let there be respect in the lives of ordinary citizens. Today about 3 lakh institutions are working in the country. Today I want to say that if these institutions do two reforms in a year, then within no time we will do 25-30 lakh reforms in a year, then how far India will reach. The common man faces small problems at the Panchayat level which have to be resolved. We have also made reforms in the space sector. His bonds have been loosened. Hundreds of startups are coming into this. We are strengthening it with forward thinking. Private satellite rockets are being launched today. When the policy and intention are right then results are achieved.
10. What did the PM say on the army?
PM Modi said, it had become our habit that no matter how much the defense budget is, no one ever thought where it goes? The defense budget was spent on purchases from abroad. Now we want to become self-reliant. I want to thank our army wholeheartedly that they have made a list of thousands of things which will no longer be brought from abroad. For this reason, we are becoming self-reliant in the Defense Centre.
PM Modi said that today we are doing defense production in the country itself. We are becoming self-reliant in the defense sector. India has gained recognition in the defense sector across the world. We are emerging as a manufacturing hub in defence.
The PM praised the army and said, this is a country where terrorists used to come and kill us and go away, today when the country’s army conducts a surgical strike, the chest swells with pride.
