Serving the nation, leading the world : JP Nadda

Published By : Admin | September 17, 2023 | 10:33 IST

Today is a special day, the birthday of a remarkable leader, our beloved Prime Minister (PM), Narendra Modi. His journey in public life has been marked by an unwavering commitment to social service, national development, and the welfare of the less fortunate. Every moment of his life, every atom of his being, has been dedicated to these noble causes.

PM Modi has become a symbol of progress, trust, and cultural resurgence. His leadership, based on the core principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas”, has not only elevated India’s stature on the global stage but has also made him a global icon. The people of the country are seeing their hopes and aspirations being fulfilled under his leadership because service to the public is Modi’s guarantee. The world today keenly listens to his words and looks up to his leadership. The people of our country see in him an unwavering commitment to serving the public.

Much like Lord Vishwakarma, revered as the deity of creation and craftsmanship, PM Modi is reshaping India across various domains. On this auspicious day of Vishwakarma Jayanti, he is launching the PM Vishwakarma Yojana, a scheme that promises special benefits to small workers, artisans, and craftsmen engaged in 18 different trades, including goldsmiths, blacksmiths, potters, weavers, and sculptors. These unsung heroes, who have long been on the fringes of the mainstream economy, will now receive the support they deserve. This visionary scheme is expected to positively impact around three million workers in the next five years.

Recently, under PM Modi’s leadership, India hosted an extraordinary and historic event, the G20 Summit, showcasing our nation’s rich culture, heritage, inclusive diplomacy, and development story. The way he transformed the summit into a platform for people’s participation and engagement left the world in awe. It was a moment of immense pride to witness how the global leaders at the summit were captivated by India’s diversity and rich heritage. India’s hospitality and strategic diplomacy are now the talk of the world. The India Pavilion at the G20 Summit, a grand and majestic affair, remains etched in everyone’s memories.

Under PM Modi’s guidance, India has introduced itself to the world in an unprecedented way, incorporating its culture and heritage into foreign policy. Such visionary leadership sets ambitious goals and achieves them. Under the leadership of PM Modi, India has moved away from a subservient mindset and is progressing with self-respect. We now have a new Parliament building and the National War Memorial, symbols of our sovereignty. The unveiling of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s statue on Kartavya Path has given the national flag a new significance.

More than seven decades have passed since India attained political freedom, and recently, we celebrated “Amrit Kaal”, marking 75 years of Independence. The PM has set the ambitious goal of making India a developed nation by 2047.

The Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative has been tirelessly pursued, making India strong and secure. Today, India has established a formidable presence in every sector. It is on the threshold of becoming the third largest economic power in the world.

During Covid-19, the whole world saw the decisive and courageous leadership of our PM. His initiative, the Direct Benefit Transfer-Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, Mobile (DBT-JAM), has played an important role in eradicating corruption; all the beneficiaries receive their entitlements directly in their accounts on time. The PM has seamlessly integrated Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan with Jai Anusandhan.

The world recently witnessed the remarkable achievements of Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1, showcasing India’s prowess in space exploration. In the year of “Amrit Kaal”, the PM has taken a commendable step by honouring the unsung heroes of our freedom struggle. Programmes like “Har Ghar Tiranga” and “Meri Maati, Mera Desh” are fostering unity among our citizens.

Indian politics, under PM Modi’s leadership, has taken a new direction, with development, nationalism, and service-oriented policies at the forefront. Good governance is the cornerstone and “Jan Bhagidari” is the bedrock of the Modi government’s approach to governance. Every initiative of his touches the lives of citizens. The workers of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), inspired by the principle that “seva hi sangathan”, tirelessly serve the nation under his guidance.

Narendra Modi, who rose from humble beginnings and faced numerous challenges on his path, has demonstrated unwavering determination in fulfilling his duties. When the opportunity arose, he transformed the Raj Path to the Kartavya Path (Path of Duty). Under his effective leadership, the country has been able to find permanent solutions to all burning issues that the countrymen never believed could be solved. It is due to his strong political resolution and commitment that the country was able to find permanent solutions to issues such as Article 370, the construction of a grand temple to Lord Ram, the abolition of triple talaq, the implementation of Goods and Service Tax etc.

India’s culture and civilisation, among the oldest in the world, have received renewed attention and refinement in the last nine years under PM Modi’s leadership.

This has aroused global curiosity about Indian culture, civilisation, yoga, Ayurveda, and traditions. While the world is drawn to our culture, an “arrogant Opposition alliance” continues to insult our country’s heritage. The people of India, with their deep-rooted connection to culture, will never accept such disrespect. Between 2009 and 2014, our nation faced numerous challenges and many had lost hope in its future.

However, with Narendra Modi at the helm, the country’s trajectory began to change rapidly. People started believing that “my country is changing” (mera desh badal raha hai) and “with Modi, everything is possible”(Modi hai to mumkin hai).

The BJP stands steadfastly by the principles of its supreme leader, PM Narendra Modi, as it works towards realising the aspirations of the people. Inspired by his leadership, people are walking the path he has illuminated for India’s resurgence.

PM Modi Is A Modern-Day ‘Bhageerath’
September 17, 2024

In the 21st century, India has taken on a key role in shaping the new world order. With global politics now multipolar, no major international group feels complete without India's presence. From disaster relief to forging global policy consensus, the world turns to India.

The visionary behind India's rise as a global leader over the past decade is our esteemed Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi.

Whether it's mediating in the Russia-Ukraine conflict or addressing crises in the West Asia, India, under PM Modi, is central to resolving international matters.

Today, both Indians and world powers alike place their trust in the belief that "If PM Modi is at helm, anything is possible", seeing his leadership as the ‘guarantee' of solutions.

In the context of India, PM Modi is seen as a modern-day ‘Bhageerath', guiding the nation toward achieving goals, solving challenges, and fulfilling aspirations.

Whether it's a woman farmer working in a remote field, a young entrepreneur in a tech company, a soldier guarding the nation's borders, or an Indian living abroad, all share unwavering trust in the PM's policies, vision, and decisions. This trust empowers the PM to make bold and decisive moves.

A prime example is the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, once considered impossible. Initially, there was resistance, but today Article 370 and 35A are history. Modi's determination has ended the era of "two flags, two constitutions" in Kashmir.


Now, instead of unrest, we see progress — new industries are springing up, and feats of engineering like the Chenab railway bridge, taller than the Eiffel Tower, are being realized. J&K is now on the path of development, and the world is watching. The people of this new Kashmir are prepared for upcoming assembly elections, where the PM's vision of nationalism, good governance, and development is set to triumph.

The PM has ignited a cultural renaissance in India. After a 500-year wait, India's spiritual and cultural aspirations have been realized with the consecration of Shri Ram Lalla at the grand new temple in Ayodhya and the renovation of Shri Kashi Vishwanath temple.

Since 2014, India has freed itself from the grip of political parties that thrived on casteism, corruption, and appeasement. Transparent and corruption-free execution of govt schemes has significantly improved the daily lives of common people.

Behind this transformation is a new work culture driven by the principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas'. At the core of this philosophy, which aims for ‘Antyodaya se Sarvodaya' (uplift of the last person leading to the uplift of all), is the priority given to the marginalised. For the first time, agriculture and farmers have become central to political discussions, with benefits from schemes like crop insurance, MSP, subsidies, and mechanized farming reaching farmers without discrimination.

The PM has inspired people to aspire for more, allowing every Indian to actively participate in the nation's development during this ‘Amrit Kaal'. The PM made two significant decisions within the first three months of his third term – extending Ayushman health coverage to all senior citizens over 70 and introducing the ‘Unified Pension Scheme' to safeguard public interests. The decisions have ushered in a new era of economic security and hope.

Over the past decade, the implementation of JAM — Jan Dhan, Aadhar, and Mobile — has eradicated systemic corruption, ensuring that the common man receives the full benefits of govt schemes. PM Modi described JAM as delivering "maximum return on every rupee spent", with focus on empowering the poor and spreading technology widely across the population.

In UP alone, over Rs 10,000 crore has been saved across just 11 departments through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The use of technology has not only improved ease of living but also enabled the govt to achieve maximum results in minimal time. Platforms like UPI, DigiLocker, and DigiYatra have become integral to the lives of ordinary citizens.

Amid growing environmental challenges, the global community is increasingly recognizing that unsustainable development is not true progress and can have lasting consequences for humanity. This understanding aligns with the ancient Indian philosophy, which has always placed a high value on nature and environment. Under the PM, India has become a global advocate for environmental protection.

The PM's ‘Panchamrit' and ‘Lifestyle for Environment' (LiFE) campaigns have positioned India as a role model in fight against climate change. Over the past decade, India's installed solar energy capacity has surged by 2300%, with solar energy costs dropping by 70-80% since 2014. Through initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana, the nation is now benefiting from renewable energy sources, marking a significant step toward a sustainable future.

Many major nations, still recovering from events like COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war, are grappling with economic difficulties. However, thanks to the PM's diplomatic prowess and financial expertise, India has not only navigated these tough times but has emerged as the world's fifth-largest economy. The moment is fast approaching when India will rise to become the third-largest economic superpower.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recognized India as the fastest-growing economy in its latest global growth projections. Today, the world views India as an attractive investment destination. UP has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of this surge in economic interest.

‘Semicon India' conference held in UP last week marked the formal launch of India's journey to becoming a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing. From the Red Fort, the PM had declared, "My dream is for every device in the world to have a chip made in India". The country is committed to establishing itself as a semiconductor powerhouse.

With the PM "silicon diplomacy", India is poised to become a global leader in semiconductor production.

It is a divine coincidence that the birth anniversary of Devshilpi Bhagwan Vishwakarma coincides with the birthday of our PM. Today, India is crafting a glorious present on the foundation of future aspirations, taking on the role of a global leader, with PM Modi as the visionary architect of this ‘Amrit Nav Nirman'. We are confident that his resolve to build a ‘developed and self-reliant new India' will be realized through people's participation.
