Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the 2047 target to transform India into a developed nation is achievable, given the country’s recent strides in space exploration, infrastructure, and economic development.
“Deadlines are important… for individuals, institutions and even the country. “Communication is a key element of the 21st century. We have a wonderful India story to share. But are we using this power?
We are also working on a deadline of 2047 to achieve Viksit Bharat,” PM Modi said. The prime minister stressed that the 2047 deadline was meant to instil urgency in the pace of work and drive immediate action rather than defer progress.
Addressing journalists at a Diwali Milan programme at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in the national Capital, Modi said a clear target helps change both the pace and approach of governance. Are we going to the world with the India story?” he said, adding that he made an effort to highlight stories of individual achievements in his monthly radio address, Mann Ki Baat. “If the media does this too, it will serve the nation,” he said.
