Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi today strongly advocated for more appropriate Central Resource Funding to States for development.

While participating in a panel discussion session of the theme 'Development and Resource Security' during India Today Conclave : 2010 held in New Delhi, Gujarat Chief Minister categorically said that in a federal system of democracy, states should be strong enough to deliver goods and fulfill people's aspirations for development. The states have to bring results and development responsibilities but Centre holds the resources and more funding to accelerate development from Central resources is the need of the hour, he said.

Shri Narendra Modi also demanded proper compensation from the Government of India to ease the heavy burden of the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission for state government employees. He said that the entire burden of the Central Pay Commission recommendations had fallen on the states, whereas the 'Income Tax' income from increased pay packages of the government employees is going to Central exchequer only.

Gujarat has been awarded Two awards of India Today Conclave one for Best Fast Mover State in Agriculture and second for Best Rural Roads. The Vice-President of India Prof. M. Hamid Ansari gave away these awards to Gujarat CM.

Highlighting prudent financial management and fiscal reforms of Government of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi said that the development expenditure is more than double that of non-development expenditure. The state government has achieved appreciable development with efficient Finance management with unique growth strategy and innovative tax reforms.

Gujarat CM also highlighted new heights in Agriculture and quality change in rural economy. Gujarat agriculture growth rate is 12.8 per cent during last 5 years which is the highest in India and Gujarat farmers benefited immensely from successful campaign like KRISHI MAHOTSAV and Rain Water Harvesting Water Management. He stressed the need for Agro Infrastructure upgradation in the country.

Shri M.J. Akbar, Editorial Director, India Today chaired the panel discussions.

PM Modi extends greetings on the second anniversary of Ram Lalla’s Pran-Pratishtha in Ayodhya
December 31, 2025

On the auspicious occasion of the second anniversary of the Pran-Pratishtha of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi conveyed his heartfelt greetings to the nation and devotees across the world.

Shri Modi described the anniversary as a divine celebration of India’s faith and cultural heritage. He offered his reverent salutations at the feet of Lord Shri Ram on behalf of countless devotees in India and abroad, extending his infinite best wishes to all countrymen.

Recalling the historic fulfillment of a centuries-old resolve, the Prime Minister noted that by the grace and blessings of Lord Shri Ram, the sacred aspiration of millions of devotees spanning five centuries has been realized. Ram Lalla now resides once again in his grand abode, and this year Ayodhya bears witness to the Dharma Dhwaja and the prestige of Ram Lalla’s Pratishtha Dwadashi. The Prime Minister expressed his fortune in having had the opportunity last month to consecrate this Dharma Dhwaja.

Shri Modi further expressed his wish that the inspiration of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram deepens the spirit of service, dedication, and compassion in the hearts of every citizen. He emphasized that these values form the strong foundation for building a prosperous and self-reliant India.

In a thread post on X, Shri Modi wrote:

"अयोध्या जी की पावन धरा पर आज रामलला की प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा की द्वितीय वर्षगांठ मनाई जा रही है। ये वर्षगांठ हमारी आस्था और संस्कारों का एक दिव्य उत्सव है। इस पावन-पुनीत अवसर पर देश-विदेश के सभी रामभक्तों की ओर से प्रभु श्री राम के चरणों में मेरा कोटि-कोटि नमन और वंदन! समस्त देशवासियों को मेरी अनंत शुभकामनाएं।

"भगवान श्री राम की असीम कृपा और आशीर्वाद से असंख्य रामभक्तों का पांच सदियों का संकल्प साकार हुआ है। आज रामलला अपने भव्य धाम में पुन: विराजित हैं और इस वर्ष अयोध्या की धर्म ध्वजा, रामलला की प्रतिष्ठा द्वादशी की साक्षी बन रही है। ये मेरा सौभाग्य है कि पिछले महीने मुझे इस ध्वजा की पुण्य स्थापना का सुअवसर मिला।"

"मेरी कामना है कि मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम की प्रेरणा हर देशवासी के हृदय में सेवा, समर्पण और करुणा की भावना को और प्रगाढ़ करे, जो समृद्ध और आत्मनिर्भर भारत के निर्माण का सशक्त आधार भी बने।
जय सियाराम!"
