India's Success Spins World Hope: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that the world sees 21st-century hopes in India, as the country's fast-paced growth and remarkable achievements have turned India into a human powerhouse for world progress. In Bharat Mandapam, Modi reiterated that the world more and more looks at the 21st century as India's century, with recent achievements of the country setting it up as a model of innovation and possibility.
Emphasizing India's economic rise, Modi pointed out that the country leaped from being the eleventh to the fifth-largest economy in the world in a decade  and is set to take the third spot. He attributed a lot of this achievement to India's vibrant youth, whose vitality and new thinking are shattering barriers and transforming the future of the country.
The Prime Minister painted India's metamorphosis with strong data: though it took the country until 2007 to achieve a GDP of $1 trillion, today the same amount is earned in each quarter. Moreover, 25 crore individuals have been removed from poverty over the past decade, more than the population of many countries.
Modi pointed to major areas where India is now a global leader from solar power, with 30 times growth in capacity, to defense exports, which have increased 20 times over the last decade. He hailed India's becoming the second-largest mobile phone producer and the third-largest startup hub, highlighting the country's transition towards self-reliance and innovation.
He also pointed out the measures taken by the government to control corruption, stating that Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) has enabled the transfer of more than Rs 42 lakh crore directly to beneficiaries, avoiding leakages that were experienced in welfare schemes earlier.
Modi attributed policy changes to unlocking India's potential, citing the opening up of areas such as space, geospatial mapping, and nuclear energy, which has led to hundreds of startups engaged in cutting-edge technologies. He compared today's ambition-filled India with a history of stifled aspirations, contending that citizens now expect high-speed trains and world-class infrastructure and the government is responding.
On national security, Modi underlined a considerable decrease in Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) and other domestic extremism, crediting decisive government for that. But he cautioned against ideological dangers and warned that urban political environments are susceptible to extremist domination.
In spite of the setbacks, Modi was upbeat, having faith in India's limitless potential. He ended on an inspiring note: India is thinking big, reaching high, and doing more than ever before poised to lead the world to a brighter future.
