The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi interacted with beneficiaries of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY) via video conferencing today. Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra is being undertaken across the country to attain saturation of flagship schemes of the government by ensuring that the benefits of these schemes reach all targeted beneficiaries in a time-bound manner.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister noted the remarkable enthusiasm being witnessed by the ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’ vehicle car in every village. Recalling his interaction with the beneficiaries a short while ago, the Prime Minister informed that more than 1.5 lakh beneficiaries have recorded their experiences during this journey. He mentioned the benefits of a permanent house, tapped water connection, toilet, free treatment, free ration, gas connection, electricity connection, bank account being opened, benefits under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, PM Fasal Bima Yojna, PM Swanidhi Yojana, and PM Swamitva property cards among others. He noted that crores of families in villages across the country have received the benefit of some scheme of the government without having to visit any government office again and again. He underlined that the government identified the beneficiaries and then took steps to extend the benefits to them. “That is why people say, Modi Ki Guarantee means the guarantee of fulfillment”, he added.

“Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra has become a great medium to reach the people who have not been able to connect with the government schemes till now”, the Prime Minister remarked. He informed that the journey of VBSY has reached more than 40 thousand village panchayats and many cities in less than a month where more than 1.25 crore people have connected with ‘Modi ki Guarantee’ vehicle. He acknowledged the gratitude of the people for welcoming the ‘Modi ki Guarantee’ vehicle. Prime Minister Modi also noted the several activities taking place before the commencement of the program and mentioned cleanliness drives being conducted, Prabhat Pheris being taken out to create awareness, children discussing developed India during prayer meetings in schools, rangolis being made, and lamps being lit at the door of every house. Shri Modi expressed happiness that the Panchayats have formed special committees and taken up the important role of welcoming VBSY. He also lauded the participation of school children as well as the elderly and expressed contentment that VBSY is reaching every corner of the country. The Prime Minister noticed that the Yatra is being welcomed with traditional tribal dance at various places in Odisha and mentioned the program at Rambrai in West Khasi Hill where the local people organized a cultural program and dance. He also touched upon the cultural programs being held in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, and Kargil where more than 4,000 people were present to welcome VBSY. The Prime Minister suggested preparing a manual where the tasks can be listed and the progress before and after the arrival of the VBSY can be gauged. “This will also help the people of those areas where this guaranteed vehicle is yet to reach”, he added.

The Prime Minister underlined the government’s endeavor to ensure that every person in the village must reach the ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’ vehicle when it arrives so that the resolution of saturation of government schemes can be fulfilled. Observing that the impact of the government’s efforts can be witnessed in every village, Shri Modi informed that nearly 1 lakh new beneficiaries have applied for free gas connections under the Ujjwala scheme, more than 35 lakh Ayushman cards have also been given on the spot, health checkup of lakhs of people is being carried out, and a large number of people are now heading to Ayushman Arogya temples and for various tests.

“We have established a direct relationship, an emotional bond between the central government and the people of the country”, Shri Modi remarked. “Our government is not a Mai-Baap Sarkar, rather it is the serving government for the father and mothers”, he continued, “Modi's VIPs are those who are poor, deprived and for whom even the doors of government offices were closed.” He emphasized that every poor person in the country is considered a VIP for him. “Every mother, sister and daughter of the country is VIP to me. Every farmer of the country is VIP to me. Every youth of the country is VIP to me”, PM Modi exclaimed.

Reflecting on the recently concluded Assembly Elections, the Prime Minister said that the election results have given a clear indication of the validity of Modi's Guarantee. He also expressed his gratitude to all the voters who entrusted Modi's Guarantee.

Pondering on the distrust of the citizens towards those standing against the government, the Prime Minister highlighted their propensity to make false claims. He stated that elections have to be won not on social media, but by reaching out to the people. “Before winning elections, it is necessary to win the hearts of the people”, the Prime Minister remarked underlining their proclivity to underestimate the public conscience. He noted that if opposition parties had kept the spirit of service paramount instead of political interest, a large section of the country's population would not have remained in poverty, and Modi’s Guarantees of today would have been fulfilled 50 years ago.

Touching upon the focus of women-led development, the Prime Minister noted that a large number of NariShakti are participating in the Sankalp Yatra of Viksit Bharat. He mentioned that there are 70 percent women beneficiaries out of 4 crore houses made under PM Awas Scheme. 7 out of 10 Mudra beneficiaries are women and about 10 crore women are part of self-help groups. 2 crore women are being turned into Lakhpati Didis through Skill Development and 15 thousand self-help groups are getting drones underNamo Drone Didi Abhiyan.

Prime Minister Modi commended the support of the women power, youth power, farmers and the poor towards the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra. He expressed satisfaction that more than one lakh athletes have been rewarded during this journey which will further encourage young players. The Prime Minister noted the tremendous enthusiasm of the youth in registering themselves as ‘My Bharat Volunteer’ and said that it strengthens the resolve for a developed India. “All these volunteers will now move forward taking the mantra of Fit India”, the Prime Minister said as he urged them to prioritize four things, namely water, nutrition, exercise or fitness and lastly adequate sleep. “These four are very essential for a healthy body. If we pay attention to these four, our youth will be healthy and when our youth are healthy then the country will be healthy”, the Prime Minister exclaimed.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the oaths taken during this Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra should become life mantras. “Be it government employees, public representatives or citizens, everyone has to unite with full devotion. India will develop only with Sabka Prayas”, Shri Modi concluded.

Background

Thousands of Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra beneficiaries from across the country virtually joined the program. More than 2,000 VBSY vans, thousands of Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and Common Service Centres (CSCs) from across the country were also connected during the program.

The world must now be looking for Indian startups: PM Modi during the interaction with Space Startup CEOs
August 23, 2026
Prime Minister highlights policy consistency, global opportunities and India’s growing strengths in the space sector
We should create an aura that makes people across the world look to India to build their future: PM
We can establish ourselves very fast as we are highly competitive in terms of cost; our talent and the risk-taking capacity of our people is also very high: PM

Prime Minister – You have shown courage in a new field. The most important thing is that you trusted the government’s word. My view has always been that whatever decisions we take, we must remain consistent in them, we must not keep changing them again and again, so that anyone who wants to take a risk can have confidence that, fine, if something goes wrong it will be because of my mistake, but no one will abandon me. And this was our effort - to create that trust.

CEO – We are India’s first Space Tech Unicorn. On July 18 we successfully launched India’s first private rocket, ejecting satellites. And this is just the beginning. Generally, we say this is just a warm‑up for Skyroot, it is only the start. By mid next year we will be doing one launch per month. And also, thanks to you sir for opening up the sector. Three factories have already been built. We already have the capacity for one rocket per month. And this is just the beginning. Our future dream is to do one launch per week and several launches per day.

CEO – We have made an engine that comes among the most modern engines in the world. Sir, we have prepared it, and its testing is ongoing.

Prime Minister – Do they have confidence, the investors?

CEO – Sir, after Skyroot’s first launch, their confidence has increased.

Prime Minister – Good. That route is helping you?

CEO – It is helping a lot.

Prime Minister – Now the world must be searching for India’s startups, wondering who is behind this. Because when there is a breakthrough, immediately people’s attention goes there.

CEO – I think, after the space industry opened up, we have seen a very good trend. Our citizens who are in the US and Europe want to come back and work with us.

Prime Minister – We have to connect many people, and as Mehta said, now people who had gone abroad are coming back. I believe we must create such an aura that people all over the world feel that if they want to build their life, they should come to Hindustan. Join some Indian startup. Join some Indian space agency. I firmly believe that the entire talent pool, like a magnet, because of you we can attract, and that can become a very great strength for us.

CEO – Our vision is that in the next 18 months we want to set up a global ground station network.

CEO – We make the engines that satellites use to move from one place to another in space, for 5 years or 15 years. Globally we have received very good traction. And sir, your effort has been very important in this too, because now Indian companies have government support for exporting.

Prime Minister – In cost we are very competitive, in talent there is no question at all, and the risk‑taking capacity of our people is anyway greater. And because of that we can very quickly make our place.

CEO – This robotic spacecraft will go to space, physically capture the dead satellite and remove it from orbit.

CEO – We are the first Indian company working on docking and refueling technologies, with the vision of establishing a fuel station in space.

CEO – My name is Antariksh, my co‑founder Monika is also here. Sir, we are India’s first space pharma startup. We are making satellites that can go to space, manufacture pharmaceuticals there, and bring them back from space.

Prime Minister – Your name is Antariksh - was your family already in this field?

CEO – No sir, my mother gave me this name.

CEO – After one launch, in the last one month we have received eight launch contracts.

Prime Minister – Good, good.

CEO – And mostly they are international.

CEO – Sir, right now we are planned to launch this innovation with 1 million farmers.

CEO – Sir, this is for you, so that a memory will remain.

Prime Minister – Wonderful.

CEO – This opening, which you did for the private sector, through that the private satellites are now showing the beauty of India.
