Today, our President, a daughter from a tribal community, embodies the vision of Modi Ki Guarantee: PM Modi on Women Empowerment
Despite the success of Ujjwala nationwide, over 14 lakh applications for connections remain pending in Bengal due to TMC government's inaction: PM Modi on TMC
Through schemes like Mudra Yojana, over Rs. 1.25 lakh crore has been granted to women entrepreneurs in West Bengal: PM Modi on the success of Central government schemes
Under the influence of appeasement and vested interests, the TMC government fails to ensure the safety of sisters and daughters: PM Modi
Today's massive program underscores BJP's commitment to harnessing the power of women for India's development: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Barasat event, in West Bengal and greeted the audience with full vigour. The overjoyed crowd at the event showered love and admiration to the PM.

The PM positively remarked, “Today's massive program underscores BJP's commitment to harnessing the power of women for India's development” and added that "BJP has engaged thousands of women self-help groups nationwide. Today, in West Bengal, we witness a significant conference uniting sisters from these groups, furthering the cause of empowerment and progress.”


Taking pride in India’s infrastructural connectivity, PM Modi made the crowd aware of the fact that new routes connected to the Kolkata Metro, Pune Metro, Kochi Metro, Agra Metro, and Namo Bharat Trains have been expanded. The PM also set the narrative that modernizing the country's public transport is a priority of the Government of India today.

In retrospect, the PM mentioned that “In the 40 years preceding 2014, only 28 kilometres of Kolkata Metro route was constructed. However, under the BJP government in the last decade alone, Kolkata Metro has expanded by an additional 31 kilometres. This exemplifies BJP's sincere dedication to the development of Bengal and the nation as a whole over the past decade.”


Taking an explicit jibe at the opposition, the PM said, “With the NDA's return confirmed for the third term, Indi Alliance leaders are rattled, launching full-force attacks on Modi. They've resorted to personal jabs, questioning my family.” The PM went on to assure that, “Their desperate tactics won't distract from our commitment to progress.” The PM also challenged that to look for Modi’s family, the opposition should look at the crowd of people filled with respect and admiration surrounding him, standing by him and supporting him at the event.

In a voice filled with pride and love, PM Modi said, “These sisters of my country, who have come here in large numbers, who are associated with this program from every corner of the country – are Modi Ka Parivaar.”, and that “Today every countryman is calling themselves Modi's Ka Parivaar.”

Reminiscing his childhood days, PM Modi said that when he used to travel with his “jhola”, a lot of women and families used to ask him, saying, "Beta, have you had food or not?" The PM still feels gratified by all these gestures and the hard days he had to endure.


Shading light on our neighbourhood country, the PM significantly observed, “Bangladesh, a beacon of women empowerment, has nurtured countless inspiring figures like Mother Sharda, Rani Rasmani, Sister Nivedita, Sarala Devi, Matangini Hazra, Kalpana Dutta, Pritilata, Bina Das, and Nanibala Devi”, but “under TMC rule, atrocities against women have stained this sacred land. Despite grave sins in places like Sandeshkhali, the TMC government remains indifferent to the suffering.” The women of Bengal and the nation are incensed by this disregard. This wave of women's anger won't be confined to Sandeshkhali” the PM maintained.

Exposing the sorry state of affairs in Bengal, PM Modi stated, “Under the influence of appeasement and vested interests, the TMC government fails to ensure the safety of sisters and daughters.” The PM shared a contrasting picture and exclaimed, “BJP-led central government has enacted stringent measures, including the death penalty for serious crimes like rape. A dedicated women's helpline has been established to facilitate easy reporting during crises.”


The PM also shared the success stories of Central Government schemes implemented in West Bengal, “Through schemes like Mudra Yojana, over Rs. 1.25 lakh crore has been granted to women entrepreneurs in West Bengal. Additionally, 3 crore women farmers have received funds through PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. The PM Vishwakarma Yojana supports sisters in artisanal industries with over Rs. 13 thousand crore allocated.”

With immense hope, the PM shared that the BJP government has come up with another big scheme for women. Modi government has started the Namo Drone Didi scheme for village sisters. With this, sisters are being trained as drone pilots and the BJP government will give drones to these sisters, which will be useful in farming.


With sheer discontent and disregard towards the Bengal government, PM Modi also mentioned that “The Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaign has saved the lives of countless daughters across the country. However, the TMC government in Bengal hindered its implementation. Under Ujjwala, we provided free gas connections to 10 crore sisters nationwide, along with affordable cylinders.”, and added, “Despite the success of Ujjwala nationwide, over 14 lakh applications for connections remain pending in Bengal due to TMC government's inaction.”

The PM put forward India’s progressive portrait and remarked, “Today, our President, a daughter from a tribal community, embodies this vision of Modi Ki Guarantee and that Modi government fulfilled promises of reservation for sisters in Lok Sabha and Assembly. He also ensured Muslim sisters' freedom from triple talaq, with your support.”


The PM in his conclusion again reminded the countrymen that, “Wherever the Indi Alliance holds sway, women suffer atrocities. The TMC's dominance in Bengal eclipses the state's progress. It's crucial for all sisters to defeat the Indi Alliance and pave the way for development by ensuring the lotus blooms in every corner of the country.”
The PM hoped for a glorious victory ahead and promised the fulfilment of the Modi Ki Guarantee and last-mile connectivity.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries in Delhi, earlier today. The three-day Conference was held in Pusa, Delhi from 26 to 28 December, 2025.

Prime Minister observed that this conference marks another decisive step in strengthening the spirit of cooperative federalism and deepening Centre-State partnership to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised that Human Capital comprising knowledge, skills, health and capabilities is the fundamental driver of economic growth and social progress and must be developed through a coordinated Whole-of-Government approach.

The Conference included discussions around the overarching theme of ‘Human Capital for Viksit Bharat’. Highlighting India's demographic advantage, the Prime Minister stated that nearly 70 percent of the population is in the working-age group, creating a unique historical opportunity which, when combined with economic progress, can significantly accelerate India's journey towards Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister said that India has boarded the “Reform Express”, driven primarily by the strength of its young population, and empowering this demographic remains the government’s key priority. Prime Minister noted that the Conference is being held at a time when the country is witnessing next-generation reforms and moving steadily towards becoming a major global economic power.

He further observed that Viksit Bharat is synonymous with quality and excellence and urged all stakeholders to move beyond average outcomes. Emphasising quality in governance, service delivery and manufacturing, the Prime Minister stated that the label "Made in India' must become a symbol of excellence and global competitiveness.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to strengthen Aatmanirbharta, stating that India must pursue self-reliance with zero defect in products and minimal environmental impact, making the label 'Made in India' synonymous with quality and strengthen our commitment to 'Zero Effect, Zero Defect.’ He urged the Centre and States to jointly identify 100 products for domestic manufacturing to reduce import dependence and strengthen economic resilience in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to map skill demand at the State and global levels to better design skill development strategies. In higher education too, he suggested that there is a need for academia and industry to work together to create high quality talent.

For livelihoods of youth, Prime Minister observed that tourism can play a huge role. He highlighted that India has a rich heritage and history with a potential to be among the top global tourist destinations. He urged the States to prepare a roadmap for creating at least one global level tourist destination and nourishing an entire tourist ecosystem.

PM Modi said that it is important to align the Indian national sports calendar with the global sports calendar. India is working to host the 2036 Olympics. India needs to prepare infrastructure and sports ecosystem at par with global standards. He observed that young kids should be identified, nurtured and trained to compete at that time. He urged the States that the next 10 years must be invested in them, only then will India get desired results in such sports events. Organising and promoting sports events and tournaments at local and district level and keeping data of players will create a vibrant sports environment.

PM Modi said that soon India would be launching the National Manufacturing Mission (NMM). Every State must give this top priority and create infrastructure to attract global companies. He further said that it included Ease of Doing Business, especially with respect to land, utilities and social infrastructure. He also called upon states to encourage manufacturing, boost ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and strengthen the services sector. In the services sector, PM Modi said that there should be greater emphasis on other areas like Healthcare, education, transport, tourism, professional services, AI, etc. to make India a Global Services Giant.

Prime Minister also emphasized that as India aspires to be the food basket of the world, we need to shift to high value agriculture, dairy, fisheries, with a focus on exports. He pointed out that the PM Dhan Dhanya Scheme has identified 100 districts with lower productivity. Similarly, in learning outcomes States must identify the lowest 100 districts and must work on addressing the issues around the low indicators.

PM also urged the States to use Gyan Bharatam Mission for digitization of manuscripts. He said that States may start a Abhiyan to digitize such manuscripts available in States. Once these manuscripts are digitized, Al can be used for synthesizing the wisdom and knowledge available.

Prime Minister noted that the Conference reflects India’s tradition of collective thinking and constructive policy dialogue, and that the Chief Secretaries Conference, institutionalised by the Government of India, has become an effective platform for collective deliberation.

Prime Minister emphasised that States should work in tandem with the discussions and decisions emerging from both the Chief Secretaries and the DGPs Conferences to strengthen governance and implementation.

Prime Minister suggested that similar conferences could be replicated at the departmental level to promote a national perspective among officers and improve governance outcomes in pursuit of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister also said that all States and UTs must prepare capacity building plan along with the Capacity Building Commission. He said that use of Al in governance and awareness on cyber security is need of the hour. States and Centre have to put emphasis on cyber security for the security of every citizen.

Prime Minister said that the technology can provide secure and stable solutions through our entire life cycle. There is a need to utilise technology to bring about quality in governance.

In the conclusion, Prime Minister said that every State must create 10-year actionable plans based on the discussions of this Conference with 1, 2, 5 and 10 year target timelines wherein technology can be utilised for regular monitoring.

The three-day Conference emphasised on special themes which included Early Childhood Education; Schooling; Skilling; Higher Education; and Sports and Extracurricular Activities recognising their role in building a resilient, inclusive and future-ready workforce.

Discussion during the Conference

The discussions during the Conference reflected the spirit of Team India, where the Centre and States came together with a shared commitment to transform ideas into action. The deliberations emphasised the importance of ensuring time-bound implementation of agreed outcomes so that the vision of Viksit Bharat translates into tangible improvements in citizens’ lives. The sessions provided a comprehensive assessment of the current situation, key challenges and possible solutions across priority areas related to human capital development.

The Conference also facilitated focused deliberations over meals on Heritage & Manuscript Preservation and Digitisation; and Ayush for All with emphasis on integrating knowledge in primary healthcare delivery.

The deliberations also emphasised the importance of effective delivery, citizen-centric governance and outcome-oriented implementation to ensure that development initiatives translate into measurable on-ground impact. The discussions highlighted the need to strengthen institutional capacity, improve inter-departmental coordination and adopt data-driven monitoring frameworks to enhance service delivery. Focus was placed on simplifying processes, leveraging technology and ensuring last-mile reach so that benefits of development reach every citizen in a timely, transparent and inclusive manner, in alignment with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

The Conference featured a series of special sessions that enabled focused deliberations on cross-cutting and emerging priorities. These sessions examined policy pathways and best practices on Deregulation in States, Technology in Governance: Opportunities, Risks & Mitigation; AgriStack for Smart Supply Chain & Market Linkages; One State, One World Class Tourist Destination; Aatmanirbhar Bharat & Swadeshi; and Plans for a post-Left Wing Extremism future.
