QuoteThe political parties, which adopt short-cuts, put all the money of this investment to entertain the public. Those who do politics of short-cut will never build new airports, will never build new and modern highways: PM Modi
QuoteToday we have brought a work culture, a political culture, and a governance model wherein we inaugurate everything that we lay the foundation stone of: PM Modi in Deoghar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Deoghar, Jharkhand. PM Modi started his address by recognising the enthusiasm of people. PM Modi said, “The way you have welcomed the festival of development with thousands of diyas, it is wonderful. I am experiencing the same enthusiasm here as well.”

PM Modi told the people that how development of Jharkhand has been a priority of his government, PM Modi said, “Schemes worth thousands of crores of rupees have been offered at Baba's feet for the development of Jharkhand and have been dedicated to the public…The new airport for which I had visited earlier to lay the foundation stone, has also been inaugurated today.”

Talking about India as a land of faith, spirituality and pilgrimage, PM Modi asserted that unprecedented investments are being made today to protect the heritage of India. PM Modi added that tourism is a lucrative industry and a huge source of employment in the country. PM Modi further said, “Today it is the need of the hour that India should preserve its heritage as much as possible and increase modern facilities there.”

PM Modi gave a few examples of how tourism when combined with modern facilities changes the state of the area around the heritage, PM Modi said, “So far this year Varanasi has received three times more tourists as compared to 3 years ago. Due to this growth, the business of hoteliers, dhabas, boatmen, and tea vendors has also increased a lot. We are seeing the same effect in Kedarnath Dham as well, before reconstruction, on an average only 2.5 lakh passengers used to go there in the first two month. Now this year, in the first two months, about 9 lakh devotees have visited Baba Kedarnath.”

PM Modi iterated that the priority of his government is for inclusive development, PM Modi said, “In the last 8 years, we have empowered those who were earlier reduced to only political slogans. Those poor, those tribals, those Dalits, those backward, those sisters and daughters whose number always came last, they are at the first place in our priorities today.”

Hitting out at the opposition PM Modi said, “Those who remained in governments for a long time gave priority only to power, they never had any desire to serve the poor. In such a situation, the system became such that the one who had access, the one who was rich, got every facility first.”

Talking about the efforts of the central government for Jharkhand, PM Modi said, “We are making roads from village to village. 12 lakh poor families of Jharkhand have got pucca houses. We are working relentlessly to ensure that every family gets electricity, the poorest of the poor sisters get cooking gas, every house gets water.” PM Modi further added that Ayushman Bharat was started from Jharkhand and has given 3 crore free treatments to the poor all over the country, of which 12 lakh reside in Jharkhand.

PM Modi finally spoke with the public on an important topic of Short-Cut Politics, PM Modi stated, “It is very easy to get votes from people by making populist promises, adopting short-cuts. Those who adopt short-cuts do not have to work hard nor do they have to think about the far-reaching consequences”. PM Modi further added, “The political parties, which adopt short-cuts, put all the money of this investment to entertain the public. This method is going to stop the development of the country. Those who do politics of short-cut will never build new airports, will never build new and modern highways, will never get AIIMS built, will not work hard for a medical college in every district.”

Calling out the fallacies of the opposition, PM Modi said, “It is very easy for someone to say that from now on there will be no bus ticket in Jharkhand, no money will have to be paid for boarding the auto, nor will there be any rickshaw fare. But such populist announcements, these short-cuts only make people pauper one day.”

PM Modi finally addressed the public on their responsibilities for Deoghar, PM Modi said, “When so many facilities are being built here, then it is your responsibility to take care of them. It is your responsibility to keep Deoghar and Baba Dham clean.”

PM Modi’s Day at Vantara: Healing the Wild with Hope
March 05, 2025

On March 4, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Vantara, a groundbreaking wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation center located in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Spanning over 3,500 acres within the Reliance Jamnagar Refinery Complex, Vantara stands as the world’s largest facility of its kind, offering sanctuary to more than 1.5 lakh rescued, endangered, and threatened animals across over 2,000 species. Vantara is not merely a shelter but a testament to India’s evolving commitment to ethical animal welfare and ecological sustainability.

During his visit, PM Modi highlighted the center’s compassionate approach, particularly its efforts to rescue and rehabilitate elephants, while urging society to embrace kindness and responsibility toward wildlife.One of the most poignant aspects of PM Modi’s visit was his focus on the stories of rescued elephants at Vantara.

PM Modi shared harrowing accounts of their plights: one elephant had endured an acid attack, another was blinded by its own mahout (caretaker), and yet another had been struck by a speeding truck. At Vantara, these elephants are treated with unparalleled dignity and kindness. The facility’s Elephant Care Centre, touted as the world’s largest elephant hospital, is equipped with cutting-edge technology tailored to their needs.

From hydraulic surgical platforms and specialized lifting equipment to custom-designed endoscopes, the center ensures stress-free medical procedures. A hydrotherapy pond alleviates arthritis, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber aids wound healing, and a specialized foot care unit addresses chronic issues. Ayurvedic treatments and acupuncture further enhance their recovery, reflecting a holistic approach to rehabilitation. PM Modi praised this meticulous care, noting that it exemplifies a model of coexistence between humans and nature.

|

Vantara’s commitment extends beyond elephants. The sanctuary has rescued over 200 elephants, 300 large felines (including leopards, tigers, lions, and jaguars), 300 herbivores like deer, and more than 1,200 reptiles such as crocodiles, snakes, and turtles. Each animal’s story reinforces Vantara’s mission to provide not just survival, but a life of dignity.

|

A defining feature of Vantara is its chain-free philosophy. Unlike traditional zoos or enclosures that restrain animals, Vantara prioritizes a stress-free environment. The sanctuary’s medical infrastructure is equally revolutionary. Its 1 lakh square foot hospital and medical research center boast advanced tools like MRI, CT scans, X-rays, ultrasound, endoscopy, and a blood plasma separator.

During his tour, PM Modi witnessed an Asiatic lion undergoing an MRI and a leopard receiving life-saving surgery after a highway accident. The facility includes specialized departments for wildlife anesthesia, cardiology, nephrology, dentistry, and internal medicine, staffed by a global team of veterinarians

PM Modi’s visit was more than a ceremonial inauguration; it was a vivid demonstration of Vantara’s mission and India’s broader role in global conservation. His interactions with the animals were both heartwarming and symbolic. He fed Asiatic lion cubs, a white lion cub born at the facility, and a clouded leopard cub, showcasing the center’s success in nurturing the next generation of endangered species.

He played with orangutans named Ketchup and Chutney, who were rescued from overcrowded conditions and bonded with elephants while enjoying therapeutic jacuzzis. Other highlights included feeding a giraffe, patting an okapi, and observing rare species like a two-headed snake and a two-headed turtle.

PM Modi released rescued parrots back into the wild, their flight symbolizing Vantara’s ultimate goal of restoring nature’s balance. His engagement with the center’s staff doctors, caregivers, and workers further emphasized the human effort behind this ambitious project.

Vantara’s establishment aligns with India’s growing emphasis on ethical animal welfare and ecological sustainability. The center’s initiatives like breeding programs for critically endangered species such as the caracal and Asiatic lion aim to bolster biodiversity. Its fleet of 75 custom-engineered elephant ambulances, the largest in the world, exemplifies its proactive rescue efforts.

Modi’s visit reinforced India’s position as a leader in global conservation. By highlighting Vantara’s work, he drew attention to the need for coexistence and kindness toward nature a message that resonates beyond borders. The sanctuary collaborates with international organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), integrating advanced research and global best practices into its operations.

PM Modi’s reflections during his visit carried a deeper plea: for society to reject irresponsibility and embrace compassion. This call echoes Vantara’s ethos, which Anant Ambani has described as a “Sevalaya” rather than a “Chidiyaghar”. Unlike entertainment-focused facilities, Vantara prioritizes rehabilitation, rescue, preservation, and conservation, offering a model that other nations could emulate.

The sanctuary’s recognition with the ‘Prani Mitra’ National Award, India’s highest honor in animal welfare in the corporate category, further validates its impact. PM Modi’s visit brought this vision to the forefront, spotlighting the rescued elephants, lion cubs, and orangutans whose lives have been transformed.

As the world grapples with habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change, Vantara offers a glimmer of hope. It stands as a safe haven where wildlife is not only rescued but revered, reflecting India’s ancient ethos of harmony with nature. Through Modi’s words and Vantara’s deeds, the call is clear kindness to animals is not a choice, but a duty we all share.
