The emergence of Vishwa Mitra Bharat

Published By : Admin | February 15, 2024 | 18:21 IST

Bharat's achievements in diverse fields bring stability to the world and have emerged as 'Vishwa-Mitra (Universal Friend). Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the country's developmental approach has also kept global welfare in mind. "There is trust now in India," PM Modi has said. The level of importance being attributed to India is unprecedented.

Over the last decade, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Bharat has emerged as a dependable 'Vishwamitra'. India's achievements in diverse fields are bringing stability to the world.

In fact, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, India has emerged as the 'Vishwa-Mitra' and 'Vishwa Ka Atut Saathi' (World's reliable partner) following its contribution to helping the globe deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The world lauded India for its remarkable recovery and rebuilding after the disastrous COVID-19 pandemic. India had performed a "vaccine miracle" and generously provided 300 million vaccines to over 100 countries. This "Vaccine Maitri" created enormous goodwill, with some foreign leaders referring to the Indian vaccine as having saved their lives and still coursing through their veins.

Both Indians and foreigners have recognised the economic and technological progress that India has made, including in Tech 4.0 ( the integration of intelligent digital technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes) and frontier areas like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and space. The triumph of Chandrayaan-3's landing on Shiv Shakti Point, prodigious sustainable and inclusive development—Sabka Vikas Sabka Saath (Development for all, with all)—efforts and impressive social transformation projects are a beacon, a lighthouse with possibilities of their replicability and scaling up in the Global South and even the North. India has become the fastest-growing, fifth-largest, and soon-to-be third-largest economy globally. New Bharat's Everything is Possible confidence and being in a geopolitical sweet spot has created a positive sentiment worldwide.

Achieving consensus during conflict in a deeply polarised world is a landmark, demonstrating Bharat's ability to manage relationships and maintain friendships across the spectrum. Despite differences over the Russia-Ukraine war, the Delhi Declaration in 2023 was a "100% consensus" on all developmental and geopolitical issues. The G20 Summit in Delhi was a milestone that demonstrated the grand success of Modi government diplomacy as the conference didn't allow the war in Ukraine to take over the agenda. Instead, the topic that has haunted the world since Feb 2021 proved to be the most divisive issue at the G20 Bali Declaration in 2022. Conversely, India pulled off a big diplomatic win after the world leaders adopted a consensus declaration overcoming major differences in the Russia-Ukraine war, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for ending the "global trust deficit." Moreover, India was also able to bring a consensus among the leaders to condemn terrorism in all its forms and called for strengthening efforts to increase the effectiveness of international cooperation to deny terrorist groups safe haven, freedom of operations, as well as financial, material or political support. PM Narendra Modi also persuaded G20 leaders to agree to pursue tripling renewable energy capacity globally by 2030 and accepted the need to phase down unabated coal power. The negotiator approach, adopted by the Modi government, is to tackle issues one by one through dialogue.

Prime Minister Modi is the main representative of 'Vishwamitra Bharat' and gave the world the 'Vishwa Mantra' of Sabka Saath, or inclusion. The inclusion of the African Union, also at the G20 summit as a permanent member, is the biggest testament of Sabka Saath. In the words of Narendra Modi, it was also an "inclusive and human-centric" approach to International affairs. The leaders across the world lauded the PM, as India's initiative and achievements in diverse fields bring stability to the world.

Over the last nine years, India has emerged as the first responder in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) globally. In keeping with its cultural beliefs of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – the whole world is one family, India has been playing an important role in providing HADR in the region and beyond. Operation Maitri – rescue operations during earthquake in Nepal, Assistance to Sri Lanka in 2016 during Cyclone Roanu, earthquake in Indonesia in 2018, flooding in Madagascar in January 2020, Operation Dost, a search and rescue operation to help Syria and Turkey after the 2023 earthquake, and Covid vaccines, described earlier, all are a significant contribution to the VishwaMitra credentials of New Modi, under PM Narendra Modi leadership.
However, the idea of VishwaMitra encompasses India's interests. To succeed in ongoing programmes such as Make in India, Skill India, Smart Cities, infrastructure development, Digital India, Swacha Bharat, etc., it needs foreign partners, Foreign Direct Investments, and technology transfer. As the Modi Ki Guarantee that India will be in the world's top three economies in the coming five years, Prime Narendra Modi's VishwaMitra Diplomacy is primarily for India's development as it integrates economic diplomacy with political diplomacy.

PM Modi’s Vision Fuels Delhi’s Development
April 12, 2024

“Delhi has the good fortune to get an opportunity of keeping the flag of nations' prestige flying high.”
- PM Narendra Modi as Delhi prepared to host the G20 Summit

The last ten years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government have set in motion the creation of a New India—from rural to urban, from water to electricity, from houses to health, from education to employment, from castes to classes—a comprehensive plan bringing growth and prosperity to each doorstep.

The National Capital Territory of Delhi has emerged as a pivotal part of this dynamic developmental momentum spearheaded by PM Modi throughout this transformative decade.

The city has been at the heart of the infrastructural shift that has given a dedicated facelift to the entire nation. Today infrastructural marvels like Atal Setu, Chenab Bridge, Statue of Unity, and Zojila Tunnel dot India’s ever-evolving landscape.

With its focus on revamping transportation networks, upgrading urban amenities, and expanding digital infrastructure, the Modi government has launched an array of transformative initiatives. From railways, highways to airports, these initiatives have been key in galvanising inclusive and sustainable development across the length and breadth of the country.

The impressive expansion of the metro rail network has revolutionised urban commuting in India. From a mere 5 cities in 2014, the metro rail network now serves 21 cities across the nation—expanding from 248 km in 2014 to 945 km by 2024, with 919 km of lines under construction in 26 additional cities.

The Union Cabinet has recently approved two new corridors of Delhi Metro Phase-IV—Lajpat Nagar to Saket G-Block and Inderlok to Indraprastha. Both the lines have a combined length of over 20 kms with a project cost of over Rs. 8,000 crore (funding being sourced from the Union Govt, Govt of Delhi, and international agencies). The Inderlok- Indraprastha line will play a significant role in enhancing connectivity to the Bahadurgarh region of Haryana. Additionally, India’s first Namo Bharat train, operating on the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor further underlines the Modi government’s commitment to enhancing regional connectivity and upgrading its transportation infrastructure.

Further, the Bharatmala Pariyojana envisages improved logistics efficiency and connectivity via the development of nearly 35,000 km of National Highway corridors. 25 greenfield high-speed corridors have been planned under the plan out of which four intersect with Delhi’s growing infra capacity: Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway, Delhi-Saharanpur-Dehradun Expressway, and the Urban Extension Road-II. The total project length sanctioned for Delhi is 203 km with an allocation of over Rs. 18,000 crore.

Over the past decade, the Modi government has consistently dedicated efforts towards augmenting capacity and decongestion of airports. After the IGI Airport Delhi became the first airport in the country to have four runways and an elevated taxiway, the expanded state-of-the-art Terminal 1 has also been inaugurated recently. In addition, the upcoming Noida International Airport (Jewar) shall further contribute to decongestion of the Delhi airport which is serving millions of passengers annually.

Besides, the inauguration of the New Parliament has further added civilisational yet modern connotations to the city’s landscape. Inauguration of the Yashobhoomi (India International Convention & Expo Centre) has given Delhi India’s largest convention and exhibition centre, offering a mixed purpose tourism experience. Along with Yashobhoomi, the Bharat Mandapam, a world-class convention and exhibition centre, showcases India to the world.

In terms of welfare, the Modi government has launched several schemes benefitting people hitherto on the margins of growth and development. Women’s safety in Delhi has been a key concern. To address the same, the Modi government strengthened the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 by increasing the quantum of punishment for rape, including capital punishment for rape of a girlchild below the age of 12.

The Union Home Ministry established a separate Women Safety Division back in 2018. One-stop centers, Sakhi Niwas, Safe City Project, Nirbhaya Fund, SHe-Box, Investigation Tracking System for Sexual Offences, and Cri-MAC (Crime Multi-Agency Center) among others are significant additions in the government’s campaign towards women safety.

In addition, Swachh Bharat Mission, PM Ujjwala Yojana, PM Matru Vandana Yojana, and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao have further led to the empowerment of Nari Shakti in India.

As India becomes the 3rd largest startup ecosystem in the world, Delhi is also contributing significantly towards this development. Today over 13,000 DPIIT-recognised startups are functioning in Delhi even as the government is promoting self-employment through PM MUDRA Yojana with over 2.3 lakh loans sanctioned worth over Rs. 3,000 crore for FY2023-24 (as on 26.01.2024).

PM SVANidhi, which provides collateral free loans to street vendors, is supporting over 1.67 lakh beneficiaries in Delhi. Further, under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Rozgar Yojana, launched in 2020 to incentivise employers for creation of new employment and restoration of loss of employment during Covid-19 pandemic, over 2.2 lakh employees benefitted in Delhi.

Further, nearly 30,000 houses have been sanctioned and completed in Delhi under PM Awas Yojana (Urban).

Air pollution has been a recurring problem for the people of Delhi. Conscious of this reality, the central government has launched the National Clean Air Programme as a national level strategy to reduce air pollution level across the country.

The Modi government's tenure over the last decade has brought about a remarkable transformation in Delhi across various fronts. From infrastructure development to governance reforms, from education to employment, the government's initiatives have left an indelible mark on the capital city. As Delhi continues on its journey of progress and development, the contributions of the Modi government are set to shape its future trajectory for years to come.
