The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi addressed the ET Now Global Business Summit 2024 at Hotel Taj Palace in New Delhi today.

The Prime Minister began his address by highlighting the significance of the theme of ‘Disruption, Development and Diversification chosen by the Global Business Summit 2024. “When it comes to disruption, development and diversification, everybody can agree that this is India’s time”, the PM remarked noting the growing trust towards India in the world. Speaking about the unprecedented enthusiasm towards India in Davos, the Prime Minister recalled the discussions about India being termed an unprecedented economic success story, its digital and physical infrastructure soaring to new heights, and India dominating every sector in the world. PM Modi also recalled a senior official comparing India's capability to that of a ‘raging bull’. The Prime Minister said that development expert groups in the world discussing India’s transformation in the past 10 years show the growing faith of the world towards India today. “Never before have we seen such positive sentiment regarding India's potential and success in the world”, Shri Modi remarked recalling his acclamation from the Red Fort – ‘This is the time, this is the right time’.

Underlining that there comes a time during the development journey of any country when all the circumstances are in its favor, the Prime Minister said that it is at this time when the country makes itself strong for centuries to come. “I see the same time for India today. This time period is unprecedented. In a way, the nation’s virtuous cycle has started”, PM Modi said, mentioning the continuously increasing growth rate and declining fiscal deficit, export rising and current account deficit remaining low, productive investment witnessing a record high and inflation under control, rising opportunities and income, declining poverty, growing consumption and corporate profitability and a record decrease in bank NPA. The Prime Minister further added that production and productivity are both going up.

Expressing delight in the praise received by economic experts and journalists regarding this year’s Interim Budget terming it as ‘not a populist budget’, the Prime Minister thanked them for their reviews, but also drew attention to the ‘first principles’ of the Budget or overall policy-making. “Those first principles are - stability, consistency and continuity”, Prime Minister Modi said adding that this budget is an extension of these principles.

Looking back on the Coronavirus pandemic, the Prime Minister recalled how the entire period that followed turned out to be a huge test for governments all over the world where no one had a clue about dealing with the twin challenges of health and economy. He emphasized that during this period, India gave priority to saving lives. “If there is life, there is everything”, he remarked, highlighting the government’s effort to gather life-saving resources and make people aware of the dangers. He stated that the government decided to provide free ration for the poor, focused on Made in India vaccines and also ensured quick vaccine availability. “The government addressed both health and livelihood demands”, PM Modi said as he mentioned direct benefit transfer to women’s accounts, financial assistance to street vendors and small entrepreneurs, and measures to tackle farming-related issues. He said that the government took the resolve to convert disaster into opportunity. Recalling the opinion of experts at the time to print more money to increase demand and help big businesses, the Prime Minister pointed out that this approach adopted by many governments of the world resulted in rising inflation levels. “There were many attempts to put pressure on us too”, the Prime Minister continued, “but we knew the ground reality and understood it. We moved forward based on our experience and our conscience.” PM Modi credited India’s policies, which were once being questioned but proved to be correct, for the economy’s strong position today.

“India is a welfare state. The government’s priority is to make the lives of the common citizens easier and improve the quality of life”, the Prime Minister remarked. He underlined that on the one hand, new schemes were created, while on the other, the government took the benefits to every eligible beneficiary. “We invested not only in the present but also in the future of the country”, he added. The Prime Minister highlighted the four main factors in each of the budgets and mentioned record productive expenditure in the form of capital expenditure, unprecedented investment in welfare schemes, control on wasteful expenditure and financial discipline. He underscored that a balance was maintained and the set targets were achieved in all four subjects. Crediting the mantra of ‘money saved is money earned’ in achieving the desired targets, the Prime Minister mentioned completing projects in a time-bound manner. Mentioning rising project costs caused due to delays, PM Modi gave the example of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor project launched in 2008 and informed that the project costs rose from Rs 16,500 crores to more than Rs 50,000 crores upon completion last year. He also mentioned the Bogibeel Bridge of Assam launched in 1998 whose project costs rose from Rs 1100 crores to Rs 5,000 crores upon completion in 2018.

Prime Minister Modi also touched upon saving the country's money by bringing transparency to the system and using technology. He mentioned getting rid of 10 crore fake beneficiaries who existed only on paper, putting an end to the leakage of funds with Direct Benefit Transfer helping save Rs. 3.25 lakh crore from falling into the wrong hands, GeM Portal for purchase of government goods resulting in savings of Rs 65,000 crores, and diversification of oil procurement saving Rs 25,000 crores. “In the last year, we saved Rs 24,000 crores just by blending ethanol in petrol”, he added. He also mentioned the Swacchta Abhiyan where the government made Rs 1100 crores by selling office junk lying around in government buildings.

The Prime Minister underlined that the government schemes were created in such a way that the citizens save money. He touched upon the Jal Jeevan Mission where clean drinking water was ensured for the poor, thereby reducing their expenses on illnesses incurred through waterborne diseases. Referring to Ayushman Bharat, PM Modi said that it has saved the poor of the country from spending Rs 1 lakh crore while Rs 30,000 crores have been saved through 80% cheaper medicines at PM Jan Aushadhi Kendras.

Shri Modi reiterated that he is accountable not only to the present generation but also to many future generations. Thus, giving top priority to financial management in policies and decisions.

Giving the example of electricity, the Prime Minister mentioned the Rooftop solar scheme for one crore houses where people can reduce their electricity bill to zero by generating electricity and also earn money by selling the extra electricity. He also mentioned LED bulbs provided under the Ujala scheme that helped save Rs 20,000 crores in electricity bills.

The Prime Minister pointed out that even though slogans for eradicating poverty have been raised in the country for the past seven decades, they failed to make an impact and those giving suggestions from air-conditioned rooms became millionaires while the poor remained poor. After 2014, the Prime Minister said that all-round work began resulting in 25 crore people rising out of poverty in the last 10 years. He credited the policies of our government for the same. “I have come here from poverty so I know how to fight poverty. By moving forward in this direction, we will reduce the poverty of the country and make our country developed.”, Shri Modi exclaimed.

“India’s governance model is moving forward on two streams simultaneously”, the Prime Minister said. He emphasized that on the one hand, the challenges of the 20th century are being addressed while on the other hand, the government is striving to fulfill the aspirations of the 21st century. Drawing comparisons of development parameters, the Prime Minister mentioned building 11 crore toilets and also creating new possibilities in the space sector, providing 4 crore houses to the poor while developing more than 10,000 Atal Tinkering Labs, establishing more than 300 medical colleges while completing the work of freight corridor and defence corridor, running Vande Bharat trains as well as about 10,000 electric buses in many cities including Delhi. He also mentioned connecting crores of Indians with the banking sector and creating multiple facilities through Digital India and Fintech.

|

Touching upon the curse of incremental thinking, the Prime Minister explained that it creates a limit and does not allow one to move at its own pace. He pointed out that a similar issue existed in the bureaucracy when the present government came to power. To bring about change, the Prime Minister said that he decided to work at a much larger scale and greater speed than the previous governments. Throwing light on the comparisons of work done till 2014 with the last 10 years, PM Modi mentioned electrification of railway lines increasing from about 20,000 km to more than 40,000 km, construction of four-lane National Highways increasing from 18,000 km to about 30,000 km, expansion of Metro Rail network from less than 250 km to more than 650 km. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission since 2019, the Prime Minister informed that 10 crore homes in rural areas received tap water connections in the last 5 years alone compared to 3.5 crore tap water connections in India in seven decades till 2014.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the policies followed by the country in the 10 years before 2014 were actually taking the country on the path of poverty and mentioned the White Paper tabled in the Budget Session of Parliament regarding this has also been presented in this session of Parliament. He pointed out the great disappointment among investors around the world due to scams and policy paralysis leading to a huge risk of losing the confidence of investors. He underlined that now that India’s economy is in a strong position, the government has presented the entire truth before the country in the form of the White Paper.

|

“India is soaring to new heights of progress”, the Prime Minister said assuring everyone that the country is on the path to becoming the third-largest economy in the world. He also expressed confidence that the present government’s third term will witness huge decisions and preparations are already underway for new schemes to eliminate poverty while giving a new impetus to India's development. He informed that the suggestions from more than 15 lakh people have been taken into consideration. Concluding the address, the Prime Minister said, “New India will work with super speed. This is Modi’s guarantee”.

Prime Minister: Shubhanshu Namaskar!

Shubhanshu Shukla: Namaskar!

Prime Minister: Today you are far away from your motherland, from Bharat Bhumi, but you are closest to the hearts of Indians. There is auspiciousness in your name and your journey is also the beginning of a new era. At this time, we two are talking, but the sentiments of 140 crore Indians are also with me. My voice reflects the enthusiasm and excitement of all Indians. I extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes to you for hoisting the flag of India in space. I am not taking much time, so first of all tell me, is everything fine there? Are you feeling well?

|

Shubhanshu Shukla: Yes, Prime Minister Ji! Thank you very much for your wishes and the wishes of my 140 crore countrymen. I am absolutely fine and safe here. Because of your blessings and love… I am feeling very good. This is a very new experience and somewhere or the other, many such things are happening which show in which direction I and many people like me in our country and our India are moving. This journey of mine, this small journey of 400 kilometers from the earth to the orbit, is not just mine. I feel that somewhere this is also the journey of our country because when I was young, I could never imagine that I could become an astronaut. But I believe that today's India under your leadership provides this opportunity and also gives a chance to realize those dreams. So, this is a great achievement for me and I feel very proud that I am able to represent my country here. Thank you, Prime Minister Ji!

Prime Minister: Shubh, you are out in space, where gravity is next to nothing, but every Indian is seeing how down to earth you are. Did you feed the Gajar ka halwa you carried with you to your friends?

Shubhanshu Shukla: Yes, Prime Ministerji! I had brought some food items from my country, like Gajar ka Halwa, Moong Dal Halwa and Aam Ras and I wanted my other friends, who have come from other countries, to also taste it and experience the rich culinary heritage of India. So, we all sat together and tasted it and everyone liked it very much. Some people asked when they would come down and visit our country and taste it with us…

Prime Minister: Shubh, Parikrama is a centuries old tradition of India. You have got the good fortune of doing Parikrama of Mother Earth. Which part of the Earth will you be passing over right now?

Shubhanshu Shukla: Yes, Prime Minister Ji! I don't have that information right now, but a little while ago I was looking out the window, we were passing over Hawaii, and we orbit 16 times a day. We see 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets from orbit and this entire process is very amazing. In this orbit, at this fast speed, we are moving at the speed of about 28000 kilometers per hour

while talking to you and this speed is not known because we are inside, but somewhere this speed definitely shows at what speed our country is progressing.

Prime Minister: Great!

Shubhanshu Shukla: At this moment we have reached here and now we have to go further from here.

Prime Minister: Well, what was the first thought that came to your mind after seeing the vastness of space?

Shubhanshu Shukla: Prime Minister ji, to be honest, when we reached the orbit for the first time, reached space, the first view was of the Earth and the first thought after seeing the Earth from outside, the first thought that came to mind was that the Earth looks completely uniform, I mean no boundary line, no border is visible from outside. And the second thing that was very noticeable was when we saw India for the first time, when we study India on the map, we see how big the size of other countries is, what is our size, we see that on the map, but it is not correct because we draw a 3D object in 2D, that is, on paper. India really looks very grand, looks very big. It is much bigger than what we see on the map and the feeling of oneness, the feeling of oneness of the earth, which is also our motto that unity in diversity, its importance is understood in such a way when seen from outside that it seems that no border exists, no state exists, no countries exist, finally we all are a part of humanity and the earth is our home and all of us are its citizens.

Prime Minister: Shubhanshu, you are the first Indian to go to the space station. You have worked very hard. You have gone through a long training. Now you are in a real situation, you are actually in space, how different are the conditions there? How are you adapting?

Shubhanshu Shukla: Everything is different here Prime Minister Ji, we did training for the last one year, I knew about all the systems, I knew about all the processes, I knew about the experiments. But as soon as I came here, suddenly everything changed, because our body gets so used to living in gravity that everything is decided by it, but after coming here, since gravity is microgravity and is absent, even small things become very difficult. Right now, while talking to you, I have tied my legs, otherwise I would go up and the mike too, these are small things, that is, even if I leave it like this, it keeps floating like this. Drinking water, walking, sleeping is a big challenge, you can sleep on the roof, you can sleep on the walls, you can sleep on the ground.

So, Prime Minister Ji, everything happens, the training is good, but the environment changes, so it takes a day or two to get used to it, but then it becomes fine, then it becomes normal.

Prime Minister: Shubh, India's strength lies in both science and spirituality. You are on a space journey, but the journey of India must also be going on. India must be running inside you. Do you get the benefit of meditation and mindfulness in that environment?

Shubhanshu Shukla: Yes, Prime Minister Ji, I completely agree. I believe that India is already running and this mission is just the first step of that big race and we are definitely moving ahead and we will have our own stations in space and many people will reach there and mindfulness also makes a lot of difference. There are many situations during normal training or even during launch, which are very stressful and with mindfulness you are able to keep yourself calm in those situations and if you keep yourself calm, you are able to take good decisions. It is said that no one can eat while running, so the calmer you remain, the better you will be able to take decisions. So, I think mindfulness plays a very important role in these things, so if both things are practiced together, then in such a challenging environment or challenging atmosphere, I think it will be very useful and will help people adapt very quickly.

Prime Minister: You are doing many experiments in space. Is there any experiment that will benefit the agriculture or health sector in the future?

Shubhanshu Shukla: Yes, Prime Minister Ji, I can say with great pride that for the first time Indian scientists have designed 7 unique experiments, which I have brought with me to the station and the first experiment that I am going to do, which is scheduled today, is on Stem

Cells. So, what happens on going to space is that because gravity is absent, the load goes away and hence muscle loss occurs. So, my experiment is looking at whether we can stop or delay this muscle loss by giving some supplement. It has a direct implication on Earth too that these supplements can be used on people who suffer muscle loss due to old age. So, I think it can definitely be used there. Along with this, the other experiment is on the growth of microalgae. These microalgae are very small but very nutritious, so if we can see their growth here and invent a process so that we can grow them in large numbers and provide nutrition, then somewhere it will be very useful for food security on earth. The biggest advantage of space is that the process here happens very quickly. So, we do not need to wait for months or years, so the results that we get here can be used by us and…

Prime Minister: Shubhanshu, after the success of Chandrayaan, a new interest in science was born among the children and youth of the country, the passion to explore space increased. Now this historic journey of yours is further strengthening that resolve. Today children do not just look at the sky, they think, I too can reach there. This thinking, this feeling is the real foundation of our future space missions. What message would you give to the young generation of India?

Shubhanshu Shukla: Prime Minister Ji, if I want to give a message to our young generation today, then first of all I will tell you that in the direction in which India is moving, we have seen very bold and very high dreams and to fulfil those dreams, we need all of you, so to fulfil that need, I would say that there is no one path to success that sometimes you take one path, sometimes someone takes the other path, but one thing that is common in every path is that you should never give up trying, Never Stop Trying. If you adopt this basic mantra that no matter what path you are on, where you are, but you will never give up, then success may come today or tomorrow, but it will definitely come.

Prime Minister: I am sure that the youth of the country will like these words of yours and you know me very well. Whenever I talk to anyone, I always give them homework. We have to take Mission Gaganyaan forward, we have to build our own space station, and also have to land Indian astronauts on the moon. Your experiences will be very useful in all these missions. I am sure you must be recording your experiences there.

Shubhanshu Shukla: Yes, Prime Minister Ji, absolutely, while undergoing the training and experiencing this entire mission, the lessons that I have received, the learnings that I have gained, I am absorbing them all like a sponge and I am sure that all these things will prove to be very valuable, very important for us when I come back and we will be able to apply these lessons effectively in our missions and complete them as quickly as possible. Because my friends who had come with me, somewhere they also asked me when we can go on Gaganyaan, which I felt very happy to hear and I said that soon. So, I think that this dream will be fulfilled very soon and the lessons that I am learning here; after coming back, I will try to apply them 100% in my mission and complete it as soon as possible.

Prime Minister: Shubhanshu, I am sure that this message of yours will inspire and when we met before you left, I also got the opportunity to meet your family members and I saw that all your family members are equally emotional and full of enthusiasm. Shubhanshu, today I really enjoyed talking to you. I know you have a lot of work and you have to work at a speed of 28000 kilometers, so I will not take much of your time. Today I can say with confidence that this is the first chapter of the success of India's Gaganyaan mission. This historic journey of yours is not just limited to space, it will give speed and new strength to our journey towards developed India. India is going to open the doors of new possibilities of space for the world. Now India will not just fly, it will prepare the platform for new flights in future. I want to hear something more in your mind because I do not want to ask a question. If you express the feelings that are in your mind, the countrymen will listen, the young generation of the country will listen, then I myself am very eager to hear some more things from you.

Shubhanshu Shukla: Thank you, Prime Minister Ji! This entire journey of coming to space and training here and reaching here, I have learnt a lot in this, Prime Minister Ji, but after reaching

here, it is a personal accomplishment for me, but somewhere I feel that this is a very big collective achievement for our country. And I want to give a message to every child who is watching this, to every youth who is watching this and that is that if you try and you make your future well, then your future will be good and the future of our country will be good and keep only one thing in your mind, that sky has never the limits, neither for you, nor for me, nor for India and if you always keep this thing in your mind, then you will move ahead, you will illuminate your future and you will illuminate the future of our country and this is my message, Prime Minister and I am very, very emotional and very happy that I got the opportunity to talk to you today and through you to talk to 140 crore countrymen, who are able to see, this tricolor that you are seeing behind me, it was not here, before yesterday when I came here, then we have hoisted it here for the first time. So, this makes me very emotional and I feel very good to see that India has reached the International Space Station today.

Prime Minister: Shubhanshu, I wish you and all your colleagues the very best for the success of your mission. Shubhanshu, we are all waiting for your return. Take care of yourself, keep raising the respect of Maa Bharati. Many many best wishes, best wishes of 140 crore countrymen and I thank you very much for working so hard and reaching this height. Bharat Mata ki Jai!

Shubhanshu Shukla: Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you and thank you to all 140 crore countrymen and Bharat Mata Ki Jai for everyone from space!
