Urbanization and Future Preparedness
In the meeting, PM Modi emphasized the need for rapid progress in urbanization. He said, “India is undergoing rapid urbanization; therefore, we must prepare our cities keeping future needs in mind. Development, innovation, and sustainability should be the engines of our cities' progress.”
He suggested that each state should develop its major cities as model cities, incorporating smart city technology, improved infrastructure, and environmentally friendly amenities.
One State, One Global Destination
Emphasizing the concept of 'One State, One Global Destination,' PM Modi stated that each state should promote its cultural heritage, natural beauty, and unique features on a global scale. He added that if every state becomes a world-class tourist hub, India could join the ranks of developed nations before 2047.
Target of a Developed India by 2047
The Prime Minister clearly stated in the meeting, “We must make India a developed nation by 2047. For this, it is essential that every state, every city, and every village emerge as a developed model. We must bring the light of development to every citizen so that change is felt in every individual's life.”
Impact of Change Reaching the Common People
Prime Minister Modi said, “The real benefit of policies is only when their impact is visible in the lives of ordinary people. When people themselves feel the change, only then does that change become permanent and take the form of a mass movement. Therefore, we must take every scheme to the ground level.”
PM Modi's Focus on Women's Role
Speaking on women's participation, PM Modi said that we should take concrete steps to increase women's participation in the workforce. He suggested creating laws and policies that provide women with a respectable place in the workforce.
