PM Modi says vision for developed India by 2047 ‘part of the mindset’
The metric of success from now on would be 'What we want to achieve' as India has forward-looking approach, says Prime Minister
New Delhi: India is moving ahead with a forward-looking approach and the metric of success from now on for us would be ‘what we want to achieve’ in the years to come, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday.
Addressing a summit in the national capital, the Prime Minister said the vision for developed India by 2047 is “part of the mindset”. “In the last 10 years, 12 crore toilets have been built, and 16 crore homes have gas connections. Is it enough? My answer is no. This is not enough,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the gathering.
Talking about India’s vision, PM Modi said there is a tradition that every government compares its work with the previous government. “We used to walk this path but from now on we can’t compare the past and present and be happy with it. The metric of success from now on would be ‘What we want to achieve’. India has a forward-looking approach. A vision for developed India by 2047 is part of the mindset,” Modi emphasised.
At the summit, the Prime Minister said that in the last 125 days under the third term, the government ensured three crore new homes for the poor, Rs 9 lakh crore worth of infrastructure projects, 15 new Vande Bharat trains, eight new airports, Rs 2 lakh crore worth package for youth, Rs 21,000 crore direct transfer in the account of farmers and Rs 5 lakh health insurance for senior citizens above 70 years of age.
