The Prime MInister, Shri Narendra Modi met Mr Bill Gates on Friday in New Delhi.

In response to a tweet by Mr Gates, where he shared his ‘Note’ on his recent visit to India, the Prime Minister tweeted:

“Delighted to meet @BillGates and have extensive discussions on key issues. His humility and passion to create a better as well as more sustainable planet are clearly visible.”

In his ‘dispatch’, Mr Gates said “I’ve been in India this week, learning about the innovative work going on here in health, climate change, and other crucial areas. At a time when the world has so many challenges, it’s inspiring to visit a dynamic and creative place like India.”

Terming his meeting with the Prime Minister the highlight of his visit, Mr Gates said “Prime Minister Modi and I have stayed in touch, especially about developing COVID-19 vaccines and investing in India’s health systems. India has an amazing ability to manufacture lots of safe, effective, and affordable vaccines, some of them supported by the Gates Foundation. Vaccines produced in India have saved millions of lives during the pandemic and prevented other diseases around the world.”

He dwelled on India's handling of the pandemic and said “in addition to producing new life saving tools, India also excels at delivering them—its public health system has delivered more than 2.2 billion doses of COVID vaccines. They created an open-source platform called Co-WIN, which allowed people to schedule billions of vaccine appointments and delivered digital certifications for those who were vaccinated. This platform is now being expanded to support India’s universal immunization program. Prime Minister Modi believes that Co-WIN is a model for the world, and I agree.”

Bill Gates praised India’s stride in digital payments and said “India was also able to transfer emergency digital payments to 300 million people, including 200 million women, during the pandemic. This was only possible because India has made financial inclusion a priority, investing in a digital ID system (called Aadhaar) and creating innovative platforms for digital banking. It’s a reminder that financial inclusion is a fantastic investment.”

Mr Gates ‘dispatch’ also talks about India’s achievements such as PM Gatishakti Masterplan, G20 presidency, education, innovation, fighting diseases and push to Millets.

Mr Gates concluded “My conversation with the Prime Minister left me more optimistic than ever about the progress that India is making in health, development, and climate. The country is showing what’s possible when we invest in innovation. I hope India will continue this progress and share its innovations with the world.”

    जब पाकिस्तान में भूख से बिलखते लोग देखता हूँ, जब वो कैमरे पर आ कर कहते हैं की अब 2 वक़्त की रोटी भी नसीब नहीं हो रही, आटा 150 का भी नहीं मिल रहा और प्याज तक 250-260/किलो मिल रहें हैं, पेट्रोल 272 का लीटर है मुझे तरस आने की बजाये अपने वो बुज़ुर्ग याद आ जाते हैं जिनके घर लूटे गए, जिनकी औरतें छीन ली गयीं, जिनके भाई और बच्चे मार दिए गए, जिनका घर ज़मीन जायदाद सब ख़त्म हर दिए गए. हमारे मंदिरों में गौ काटी गयीं, हिन्दू पुरुषों और महिलाओं को ज़बरदस्ती मुसलमान किया गया, जिस ज़मीन पर हमारी देवी जैसी माँओं को निर्वस्त्र कर परेड निकाली गयी, ये सब उसी की बद्दुआओं का नतीजा है!! श्री राम जी का न्याय दिख रहा है 🙏🏻
