Greetings to Corona Warriors
In this extraordinary time of Corona, our doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, ambulance personnel, sweepers, policemen, servicemen, many people, are working round the clock, regardless of their lives, with a sense of service.
Freedom fighters remembered
Next year we will enter the 75th year of our independence. A huge festival is in front of us. There was no period of slavery when there was no attempt for freedom in any corner of India, there was no surrender.
Hit on expansionism
The idea of expansionism did not just leave some countries enslaved, it did not end there. Even in the midst of fierce wars and terribleness, India did not let the freedom war diminish and damp.The spirit of expansionism pushed the world into world war. Even at that time India did not give up its independence.
Emphasis on self-reliant India
The family also asks 20-21 year olds to stand on their feet now. India is going to enter the 75th year of independence.
In the midst of the corona epidemic, 130 crore Indians have pledged to build a self-sufficient India. We are confident that India will live by this dream. I believe in the strength of my country.
After all, how long the raw material from our own country will continue to be a finished product and return to India. We will change this situation. Our becoming self-reliant will benefit the world.
There was a time when our agricultural system was very backward. The biggest concern then was how to fill the stomach of the countrymen. Today we can feed not only India but many countries of the world. Farmers have made India self-sufficient in the agricultural sector.
If the country faces millions of challenges, then the country also has the power to provide crores of solutions. There are also my countrymen who offer solutions.
Only a few months ago, we used to get N-95 masks, PPE kits, ventilators from other countries. Today, in all these, India is not only fulfilling its own needs, but has also come forward to help other countries.
A self-sufficient India means not only reducing imports, but also increasing our capacity, our creativity, our skills.
What should be the thinking of new India - we have to be vocal for local.
Benefits from reforms
Who could have imagined that thousands of millions of crores of rupees would be directly transferred to the Jan Dhan accounts of the poor in the country? Who could have imagined that the APMC Act would undergo such major changes for the benefit of farmers.
One Nation - One Tax, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, merger of banks, is the truth of the country today.
Seeing this power, these reforms and the results it produces. Last year, FDI in India broke all records till date. FDI in India has increased by 18 percent. This belief does not come like this.
Make in India
Today, many big MNC of the world are coming to India. We have to move forward with the mantra of Make in India as well as Make for World.
Infrastructure Development
In order to move India towards modernity at a faster pace, the overall infrastructure development of the country needs to be given a new direction. These requirements will be met through the National Infrastructure Pipeline Project. The country is moving towards spending more than Rs 100 lakh crore on this.
About 7 thousand projects of different sectors have also been identified. In a way, i
Now comes the era of eliminating silos in infrastructure. For this, a very big plan has been prepared to connect the entire country with multi-model connectivity infrastructure.
Trust in the ability of countrymen
My dear countrymen, we have been told here - Samarthyamulam Swatantryam, Shrammulam Vaibhavam. The power of a society, the freedom of any nation, is its power, and the source of its prosperity, progress and progress is its labor force.
The ordinary citizen of our country, whether living in the city or in the village, his hard work, his hard work is no match.
Corruption free india
7 crore poor families were given free gas cylinders, ration cards or not, more than 80 crore people were provided free food, about 90 thousand crore rupees were directly transferred to the bank accounts.
Until a few years ago, all this could not be imagined that all this work would be done without any leakage, money would reach directly in the hands of the poor.
Poor Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyan has also been started to provide employment to these colleagues in their villages.
Vocal for Local
The campaign for Vocal for Local, Re-Skill and Up-Skill will communicate a self-reliant economy to the standard of living of people living below the poverty line.
Development of backward districts
Many areas of the country have also lagged behind in terms of development. By choosing more than 110 such aspirational districts, special efforts are being made there so that people get better education, better health facilities, better employment opportunities.
My dear countrymen, self-reliant India has an important priority - self-sufficient agriculture and self-reliant farmers. To give modern infrastructure to the farmers of the country, a few days ago an 'Agriculture Infrastructure Fund' of Rs 1 lakh crore has been created.
Water life mission
Last year, I had announced the Water Life Mission from this Red Fort. Today, under this mission, now more than one lakh houses are getting success in connecting with water connection.
Middle class freedom from interference
Professionals coming out of the middle class make their mark in the whole world not only in India. The middle class needs opportunity, the middle class needs freedom from government interference.
This is also the first time when the EMI of a home loan for your home is getting a rebate of up to 6 lakh rupees during the payment period. Just last year, a fund of 25 thousand crore rupees has been established to complete thousands of incomplete houses.
New national education policy
The power of a common Indian, his energy, is the very foundation of the self-reliant India campaign. To maintain this strength, continuous work is being done at every level.
The education of the country has a great importance in building a self-reliant India, in building a modern India, in building a new India, in building a prosperous and prosperous India. With this thinking, the country has got a new national education policy.
Digital India
In Corona's time, we have seen what the role of Digital India campaign has been. Just last month, almost 3 lakh crore rupees have been transacted from BHIM UPI alone.
Before 2014, only 5 dozen panchayats in the country were connected with optical fiber. In the last five years, 1.5 lakh gram panchayats in the country have been connected with optical fiber.
This goal will be met in the coming thousand days. In the coming 1000 days, every village in the country will be connected with optical fiber.
India is also vigilant in the context of cyber security, is cautious and is taking decisions to counter these threats and is also constantly developing new systems. A new national cyber security strategy has been drafted in the country.
Salute to women power
Our experience says that whenever there is an opportunity for women power in India, they have brought laurels to the country, strengthened the country.
Today, women are working in underground coal mines in India, and are also touching sky highs with fighter jets.
Of the 40 crore Jan Dhan accounts opened in the country, about 22 crore accounts are of women only. At the time of Corona, in April-May-June, about three thousand crores of rupees have been directly transferred to the accounts of women in these three months.
Innovation in the Corona era
When Corona was started, there was only one Lab for Corona Testing in our country. Today there are more than 1,400 Labs in the country.
National Digital Health Mission begins
Another big campaign is going to start in the country from today. This is the National Digital Health Mission. The National Digital Health Mission will bring a new revolution in India's health sector.
Your every test, every disease, which doctor gave you which medicine, when, what were your reports, all this information will be contained in this one health ID.
Swadesi Corona vaccine is coming
Today, no one, not two, three vaccines of corona are currently in testing phase in India. As soon as the green signal is received from the scientists, the country's preparation is also ready for the mass production of those vaccines.
Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh
The picture of development looks different at different places in our country. Some areas are far ahead, some areas are far behind. Some districts are far ahead, some districts are far behind. This unbalanced development is a big challenge for a self-reliant India.
This year is the year of a new development journey of Jammu and Kashmir. This year is the year of rights for women and Dalits in Jammu and Kashmir! It is also a year of the dignified life of refugees in Jammu and Kashmir.
The true strength of democracy lies in local units. It is a matter of pride for all of us that the representatives of the local units in Jammu and Kashmir are pushing forward a new era of development with activism and sensitivity.
By making Ladakh a union territory last year, the old demand of its people has been met. Ladakh, situated in the heights of the Himalayas, is moving forward today to touch new heights of development.
Just as Sikkim has carved out its identity as an organic state, in the coming days, Ladakh, as a carbon neutral region, is also working rapidly in this direction.
Environment and pollution
A special campaign with a holistic approach is also underway to reduce pollution in 100 selected cities of the country.
India is very sensitive to the conservation and promotion of its biodiversity. In the recent past, the tiger population has increased at a rapid pace in the country!
Now a project lion is also going to be started for our Asiatic lions in the country.
Tough response to enemies
From the LOC to the LAC, whoever has raised an eye on the sovereignty of the country, the country, the country's army has responded in the same language.
Respect for India's sovereignty is supreme for us. The world has seen in Ladakh what our brave soldiers can do for this resolution, what the country can do.
With our Neighboring countries, whether they are connected to us on land or from the sea, we are connecting our relations with security, development and trust sharing.
Message to Neighboring countries
We can build untold possibilities of development and prosperity of such a large population with cooperation and participation. All the leaders of the countries of the region have an important responsibility towards the development and progress of this large mass group.
Today, the neighbors are not only those who meet our geographical boundaries but also those who meet our hearts. Where there is harmony in relationships, there is harmony.
From these, a large number of Indians work in many countries. Just as these countries helped Indians during the Corona crisis, the Indian government honored the request, for which India is grateful to them.
Similarly, our former ASEAN countries, which are also neighbors of our maritime border, also hold very special importance for us. India has a thousand years old religious and cultural relationship with them. The traditions of Buddhism also connect us to them.
As much as India's efforts are for peace and harmony, the more commitment it is to its security, the stronger its army. India is also fully equipped for self-sufficiency in defense production.
Development of infrastructure in border areas
Our border and coastal infrastructure also have a big role in the security of the country. Be it the Himalayan peaks or the islands of the Indian Ocean, today there is an unprecedented expansion of road and internet connectivity in the country, expanding rapidly.
There are more than 1300 islands in our country. Some of these islands are in the process of starting new development plans, keeping in view their geographical location, their importance in the development of the country.
In the next 1000 days, Lakshadweep will also be connected with submarine optical fiber cable.
Now NCC will be expanded to 173 border and coastal districts of the country. About 1 lakh new NCC cadets will be given special training under this campaign. In this also, about one-third of the daughters will be given this special training.
