New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said self-confidence is a power that makes everything possible and will help in realising the dream of Viksit Bharat.
His remarks came hours after India and the US agreed on a trade deal under which Washington will bring down the reciprocal tariff on Indian goods to 18 per cent from the current 25 per cent.
“Self-confidence is that power with the help of which everything is possible,” Modi said in a post on X in Hindi.
The prime minister said this very power of the citizens will prove extremely useful in realising the dream of a developed India.
Modi also shared a Sanskrit couplet which meant that wealth is earned through righteous deeds.
“It grows with courage and self-confidence, remains stable through skill and efficiency and, when safeguarded by discipline, contributes to the progress of the nation,” the couplet read.
