Narendra Modi speaks at ATVT Chintan Shibir

On Monday 14th October 2013 Shri Narendra Modi addressed Chintan Shibir of ATVT at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar. Narendra Modi ji affirmed that he wished to make ATVT very strong and vibrant so that it can serve the people of the state. He called for importance of further increasing accountability vis-à-vis ATVT and urged officials to be strict on that front.

During his speech Shri Modi also stressed on placing systems in accordance with the changing times. He said, “We need to place our systems as per changing times. If we rely on the systems of older times then that becomes a big burden for us. We may have everything but it is very important that we change wit the times. There also needs to be life in our systems.” 

Shri Modi said that for any system to succeed teamwork is absolutely essential. He stated, “When I say Team Gujarat I do not mean the Chief Minister but everyone in the Gujarat Government. And there is immense potential in this Team. We see this quite often. Infact, our district teams have become stronger and are taking initiatives.”

He pointed that during Garib Kalyan Melas it was noticed that the Talukas of Gujarat have immense strength and that is when the idea of giving a strong impetus to an initiative like ATVT gained pace. Recalling this Shri Modi noted, “We observed that most of the work during Garib Kalyan Melas happened at the Taluka level. Our Taluka teams are becoming very strong and we thought why not take decentralization till the Taluka level even going beyond the district level.” 

Modi ji stressed on the importance of creating strong teams driven by virtues of transparency and a team where the members think together and think coherently. “I do not believe you only need power to make a team work. It is about the kind of leadership one gives,” said Shri Modi. He even called for incorporating technology in the working of government.

Revenue Minister Smt. Anandiben Patel, Forest Minister Shri Ganpatsinh Vasava, Minister of State Smt. Vasuben Trivedi, Chief Secretary Dr. Varesh Sinha and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.

PM Modi’s remarks during the BRICS session: Peace and Security
July 06, 2025

Friends,

Global peace and security are not just ideals, rather they are the foundation of our shared interests and future. Progress of humanity is possible only in a peaceful and secure environment. BRICS has a very important role in fulfilling this objective. It is time for us to come together, unite our efforts, and collectively address the challenges we all face. We must move forward together.

Friends,

Terrorism is the most serious challenge facing humanity today. India recently endured a brutal and cowardly terrorist attack. The terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22nd April was a direct assault on the soul, identity, and dignity of India. This attack was not just a blow to India but to the entire humanity. In this hour of grief and sorrow, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the friendly countries who stood with us and expressed support and condolences.

Condemning terrorism must be a matter of principle, and not just of convenience. If our response depends on where or against whom the attack occurred, it shall be a betrayal of humanity itself.

Friends,

There must be no hesitation in imposing sanctions on terrorists. The victims and supporters of terrorism cannot be treated equally. For the sake of personal or political gain, giving silent consent to terrorism or supporting terrorists or terrorism, should never be acceptable under any circumstances. There should be no difference between our words and actions when it comes to terrorism. If we cannot do this, then the question naturally arises whether we are serious about fighting terrorism or not?

Friends,

Today, from West Asia to Europe, the whole world is surrounded by disputes and tensions. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is a cause of grave concern. India firmly believes that no matter how difficult the circumstances, the path of peace is the only option for the good of humanity.

India is the land of Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi. We have no place for war and violence. India supports every effort that takes the world away from division and conflict and leads us towards dialogue, cooperation, and coordination; and increases solidarity and trust. In this direction, we are committed to cooperation and partnership with all friendly countries. Thank you.

Friends,

In conclusion, I warmly invite all of you to India next year for the BRICS Summit, which will be held under India’s chairmanship.

Thank you very much.
