The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today released the digital version of Ramcharitmanas, as a set of digital CDs produced by All India Radio.

Praising the efforts of the artistes who had contributed to this musical production, the Prime Minister said they had performed not just sangeet sadhna, but also sanskriti sadhna and sanskaar sadhna (devotion not just to music, but also to culture and tradition).
The Prime Minister described the Ramcharitmanas as a great epic which contained the "essence of India." He mentioned how the Indians who had travelled to various parts of the world, such as Mauritius, kept alive their link with India over successive generations, through the Ramcharitmanas.

The Prime Minister appreciated the role played by All India Radio – Akashvani – in uniting the people and spreading awareness and information in India. He said that he has been informed that All India Radio has approximately 9 lakh hours of audio recordings of various artistes from across the country. He said this was a priceless collection, which should be documented in detail for posterity.

The Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shri Arun Jaitley, and the Chairman Prasar Bharati Board Shri Suryaprakash were present on the occasion.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the PRAGATI meeting, the ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, involving Centre and State governments, earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed three major infrastructure projects with a cumulative cost of over Rs 62,000 crore, spanning the sectors of Road Transport, Power, and Water Resources located across various States and UTs. Emphasizing the strategic importance of these projects, he called for concerted efforts to overcome implementation bottlenecks and ensure their timely completion.

Highlighting the adverse impact of project delays, Prime Minister reiterated that such setbacks not only inflate costs but also deprive citizens of essential services and infrastructure. He urged all stakeholders to prioritize efficiency and accountability, stressing that timely delivery is critical to maximizing socio-economic outcomes.

During a review of public grievances linked to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), Prime Minister emphasized the need to improve the quality and timeliness of grievance disposal to ensure justice and fairness for homebuyers. He asked State Governments to ensure the mandatory registration of all eligible real estate projects under the RERA Act. The Prime Minister emphasized that strict compliance with RERA provisions is critical for restoring trust in the housing market.

Prime Minister examined notable best practices related to the development of the Semiconductor Ecosystem in India. He emphasized that such initiatives can serve as a guiding model for others and inspire broader adoption across States and UTs, thereby strengthening the National Semiconductor Mission.

Up to the present PRAGATI meetings, 373 projects having a total cost of around Rs 20.64 lakh crore have been reviewed.
