Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a massive Vikas Parv Rally in Davangere, Karnataka to mark two years of the NDA Government in office. Beginning his address, Shri Narendra Modi thanked people of Karnataka for having turned out in large numbers to attend the rally. The Prime Minister highlighted several initiatives of the NDA Government in the last two years that were transforming the lives of people across India.

PM Narendra Modi said that the NDA Government was working tirelessly for the welfare of people across the country and India was now moving rapidly on the path of progress. “Our strength has been devoted for the welfare of the people”, he added further.

Taking a dig at the previous govt he said it is better for me to do small tasks as the big tasks of the previous govt resulted in big scams. Talking about an honest and transparent government PM Modi said, “We will never let the nation go in the wrong direction.”

The Prime Minister elaborated about Government’s initiatives towards welfare of the agriculture sector and the farmer community. He spoke at length about several schemes like Krishi Sinchai Yojana, Soil Health Cards, e-NAM and e-mandis that were benefiting the farmers in a big way. PM Modi also talked about steps the Government was undertaking for welfare of sugarcane farmers across the country.

Speaking about the Government’s ambitious Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, PM Modi credited the citizens for success of the initiative and said that people from all walks of life not only were appreciating but also contributing to the campaign.

He also cited about the ‘Give It Up’ campaign that turned out to be a mass movement as over a crore people gave up their LPG subsidies voluntarily. Adding further, the PM spoke about Ujjwala Yojana that aimed to make rural India smoke-free by providing gas connections to five crore to below poverty line households free of cost in next three years.

Prime Minister Modi also cited that India was a youthful nation and Government was undertaking efforts to direct the youthful workforce for development of India. He highlighted how initiatives like Skill India were helping India’s youth focus on their skills. The PM also mentioned about the recent decision of elimination of interviews for class 3 and 4 government jobs.

Several BJP leaders were present at the event.

Prime Minister welcomes Param Vir Gallery at Rashtrapati Bhavan as a tribute to the nation’s indomitable heroes

Param Vir Gallery reflects India’s journey away from colonial mindset towards renewed national consciousness: PM
Param Vir Gallery will inspire youth to connect with India’s tradition of valour and national resolve: Prime Minister

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has welcomed the Param Vir Gallery at Rashtrapati Bhavan and said that the portraits displayed there are a heartfelt tribute to the nation’s indomitable heroes and a mark of the country’s gratitude for their sacrifices. He said that these portraits honour those brave warriors who protected the motherland through their supreme sacrifice and laid down their lives for the unity and integrity of India.

The Prime Minister noted that dedicating this gallery of Param Vir Chakra awardees to the nation in the dignified presence of two Param Vir Chakra awardees and the family members of other awardees makes the occasion even more special.

The Prime Minister said that for a long period, the galleries at Rashtrapati Bhavan displayed portraits of soldiers from the British era, which have now been replaced by portraits of the nation’s Param Vir Chakra awardees. He stated that the creation of the Param Vir Gallery at Rashtrapati Bhavan is an excellent example of India’s effort to emerge from a colonial mindset and connect the nation with a renewed sense of consciousness. He also recalled that a few years ago, several islands in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands were named after Param Vir Chakra awardees.

Highlighting the importance of the gallery for the younger generation, the Prime Minister said that these portraits and the gallery will serve as a powerful place for youth to connect with India’s tradition of valour. He added that the gallery will inspire young people to recognise the importance of inner strength and resolve in achieving national objectives, and expressed hope that this place will emerge as a vibrant pilgrimage embodying the spirit of a Viksit Bharat.

In a thread of posts on X, Shri Modi said;

“हे भारत के परमवीर…
है नमन तुम्हें हे प्रखर वीर !

ये राष्ट्र कृतज्ञ बलिदानों पर…
भारत मां के सम्मानों पर !

राष्ट्रपति भवन की परमवीर दीर्घा में देश के अदम्य वीरों के ये चित्र हमारे राष्ट्र रक्षकों को भावभीनी श्रद्धांजलि हैं। जिन वीरों ने अपने सर्वोच्च बलिदान से मातृभूमि की रक्षा की, जिन्होंने भारत की एकता और अखंडता के लिए अपना जीवन दिया…उनके प्रति देश ने एक और रूप में अपनी कृतज्ञता अर्पित की है। देश के परमवीरों की इस दीर्घा को, दो परमवीर चक्र विजेताओं और अन्य विजेताओं के परिवारजनों की गरिमामयी उपस्थिति में राष्ट्र को अर्पित किया जाना और भी विशेष है।”

“एक लंबे कालखंड तक, राष्ट्रपति भवन की गैलरी में ब्रिटिश काल के सैनिकों के चित्र लगे थे। अब उनके स्थान पर, देश के परमवीर विजेताओं के चित्र लगाए गए हैं। राष्ट्रपति भवन में परमवीर दीर्घा का निर्माण गुलामी की मानसिकता से निकलकर भारत को नवचेतना से जोड़ने के अभियान का एक उत्तम उदाहरण है। कुछ साल पहले सरकार ने अंडमान-निकोबार द्वीप समूह में कई द्वीपों के नाम भी परमवीर चक्र विजेताओं के नाम पर रखे हैं।”

“ये चित्र और ये दीर्घा हमारी युवा पीढ़ी के लिए भारत की शौर्य परंपरा से जुड़ने का एक प्रखर स्थल है। ये दीर्घा युवाओं को ये प्रेरणा देगी कि राष्ट्र उद्देश्य के लिए आत्मबल और संकल्प महत्वपूर्ण होते है। मुझे आशा है कि ये स्थान विकसित भारत की भावना का एक प्रखर तीर्थ बनेगा।”
