The Viksit Bharat Ambassador Lucknow Meet Up, held at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, was attended by over 1,500 people, including students, industry leaders, professionals from organisations like CII, FICCI, LMA, IIA, lawyers, and entrepreneurs from the city. The 29th March event was a great success, with participants showing enthusiasm and a shared commitment to contribute to and amplify India's progress.

The Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mr Brijesh Pathak, welcomed everyone to the event and highlighted the government's support for initiatives driving socio-economic progress.

Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Anurag Thakur, addressed the Viksit Bharat Ambassador meet-up program in Lucknow and emphasised the transformative journey India has undertaken under the leadership of the Modi government. Minister Thakur highlighted the government's three key mantras - 'Reform, Perform, and Transform,' which have played a pivotal role in this evolution, with a focus on extending benefits to every citizen.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur credited the decisive leadership of the Modi government for the significant changes witnessed in the past decade. He pointed out the transition from a struggling economy labelled the 'Fragile Five' to a thriving economy and the uplifting of 25 crore people from below the poverty line as notable achievements.

Mr Thakur reflected on the past and compared the UPA era, which was marked by corruption scandals and remote-control governance, with the current government's transparent and proactive approach. He pointed out key economic indicators such as India's rapid growth trajectory and its upcoming position as the world's third-largest economy in the coming years. The minister also touched upon the government's dedication to improving women's lives by mentioning various schemes such as free LPG cylinders, sanitation facilities, maternity benefits, and skill training initiatives aimed at empowering women.

 

Mr Anurag Thakur praised Uttar Pradesh for its contributions to India's development, emphasising the state's crucial role in achieving India's vision of a developed nation. He highlighted its progress in various sectors, including establishing bases by major aircraft makers such as Boeing and Airbus, with Uttar Pradesh leading in defence infrastructure. He also noted the state's burgeoning aviation sector, with plans for international airport development.
Minister Anurag Thakur described Ram Mandir as a manifestation of a 500-year-old dream. He also stated that the Modi government has made consistent and sustained efforts to strengthen the nation's infrastructure, kick-start the economy in many new sectors, and revitalise the places of worship.

During the event, he encouraged the attendees to become Viksit Bharat Ambassadors and help achieve the Viksit Bharat 2047 objective. He asked them to spread the word about the various 'growth markers' and encourage their fellow citizens to join India's journey towards becoming a developed nation.


The Viksit Bharat Ambassador Lucknow meet-up served as a platform to celebrate India's achievements, discuss ongoing initiatives, and rally support for the nation's continued progress towards a developed and empowered India by 2047.

PM Modi’s remarks at the BRICS session: Environment, COP-30, and Global Health
July 07, 2025

Your Highness,
Excellencies,

I am glad that under the chairmanship of Brazil, BRICS has given high priority to important issues like environment and health security. These subjects are not only interconnected but are also extremely important for the bright future of humanity.

Friends,

This year, COP-30 is being held in Brazil, making discussions on the environment in BRICS both relevant and timely. Climate change and environmental safety have always been top priorities for India. For us, it's not just about energy, it's about maintaining a balance between life and nature. While some see it as just numbers, in India, it's part of our daily life and traditions. In our culture, the Earth is respected as a mother. That’s why, when Mother Earth needs us, we always respond. We are transforming our mindset, our behaviour, and our lifestyle.

Guided by the spirit of "People, Planet, and Progress”, India has launched several key initiatives — such as Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' (A Tree in the Name of Mother), the International Solar Alliance, the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, the Green Hydrogen Mission, the Global Biofuels Alliance, and the Big Cats Alliance.

During India’s G20 Presidency, we placed strong emphasis on sustainable development and bridging the gap between the Global North and South. With this objective, we achieved consensus among all countries on the Green Development Pact. To encourage environment-friendly actions, we also launched the Green Credits Initiative.

Despite being the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is the first country to achieve its Paris commitments ahead of schedule. We are also making rapid progress toward our goal of achieving Net Zero by 2070. In the past decade, India has witnessed a remarkable 4000% increase in its installed capacity of solar energy. Through these efforts, we are laying a strong foundation for a sustainable and green future.

Friends,

For India, climate justice is not just a choice, it is a moral obligation. India firmly believes that without technology transfer and affordable financing for countries in need, climate action will remain confined to climate talk. Bridging the gap between climate ambition and climate financing is a special and significant responsibility of developed countries. We take along all nations, especially those facing food, fuel, fertilizer, and financial crises due to various global challenges.

These countries should have the same confidence that developed countries have in shaping their future. Sustainable and inclusive development of humanity cannot be achieved as long as double standards persist. The "Framework Declaration on Climate Finance” being released today is a commendable step in this direction. India fully supports this initiative.

Friends,

The health of the planet and the health of humanity are deeply intertwined. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us that viruses do not require visas, and solutions cannot be chosen based on passports. Shared challenges can only be addressed through collective efforts.

Guided by the mantra of 'One Earth, One Health,' India has expanded cooperation with all countries. Today, India is home to the world’s largest health insurance scheme "Ayushman Bharat”, which has become a lifeline for over 500 million people. An ecosystem for traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, and Siddha has been established. Through Digital Health initiatives, we are delivering healthcare services to an increasing number of people across the remotest corners of the country. We would be happy to share India’s successful experiences in all these areas.

I am pleased that BRICS has also placed special emphasis on enhancing cooperation in the area of health. The BRICS Vaccine R&D Centre, launched in 2022, is a significant step in this direction. The Leader’s Statement on "BRICS Partnership for Elimination of Socially Determined Diseases” being issued today shall serve as new inspiration for strengthening our collaboration.

Friends,

I extend my sincere gratitude to all participants for today’s critical and constructive discussions. Under India’s BRICS chairmanship next year, we will continue to work closely on all key issues. Our goal will be to redefine BRICS as Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability. Just as we brought inclusivity to our G-20 Presidency and placed the concerns of the Global South at the forefront of the agenda, similarly, during our Presidency of BRICS, we will advance this forum with a people-centric approach and the spirit of ‘Humanity First.’

Once again, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to President Lula on this successful BRICS Summit.

Thank you very much.
