Commending the efforts of those involved in the de-addiction campaign spearheaded by Baba Jumdev Ji through the 'Paramatma Ek Sevak Mandal', PM Modi highlighted the significance of such initiatives in fostering societal well-being.

Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi remarked, "Evening is setting in, but looking at your enthusiasm, it seems the day has just begun." Encouraging the audience to participate actively, he urged them to use their mobile phones to send blessings to the stage, symbolizing unity and collective support.

“Nowadays, these TV and media people are continuously showing surveys regarding the elections. Every survey indicates a clear victory for the NDA. These media people also spend a lot of money on these surveys. I want to share a formula today to save money. When criticism against Modi intensifies, then understand the trend, then it's the Modi government once again. When these people start insulting my late father or mother, understand the trend, then it's the Modi government once again. When questions arise about EVMs, understand the trend, then it's Modi government once again,” he added.

Reflecting on the upcoming elections, PM Modi emphasized the pivotal role of the electorate in shaping the future of the nation. He stated, "On April 19th, you are not just choosing a Member of Parliament. You are voting to strengthen the foundation of India for the next thousand years."

Asserting the importance of unity and solidarity, PM Modi condemned divisive politics propagated by certain factions. He urged the people of Maharashtra to vote for the country's unity and progress, cautioning against the divisive agenda of opportunistic alliances.

PM Modi said, “These INDI Alliance people are fully engaged in dividing the country's people. They know that if the people of the country unite, the politics of the INDI Alliance people will end. Therefore, I urge the people of Maharashtra, I urge the people of the country, vote for the country by uniting. If these INDI Alliance people become powerful, they will divide the country into pieces. Even today, they leave no stone unturned in pitting one community against another. Even today, they do not miss any opportunity to target Indian culture. Ramtek is that place where the feet of Bhagwan Ram himself have stepped.”

Highlighting the government's commitment to social justice and empowerment, PM Modi outlined various initiatives aimed at uplifting marginalized communities, including the SC-ST-OBC society. “Since independence, Congress has kept the SC-ST-OBC society behind in every way under a conspiracy. Congress ended Baba Saheb Ambedkar's politics. Congress kept Baba Saheb deprived of Bharat Ratna. When the BJP-supported government was formed at the Centre, Baba Saheb was awarded the Bharat Ratna. When the NDA government was formed in 2014, the son of a Dalit mother became the President of India. When the NDA government was formed again in 2019, the daughter of a tribal mother became the first citizen of the country, the President,” said the Prime Minister.

PM Modi underscored the government's efforts to ensure inclusive development and provide equal opportunities to all sections of society and said, “In the NDA government, we have appointed a record number of ministers from the OBC community. This NDA government is the one that gave constitutional status to the OBC Commission. This NDA government is the one that ensured reservation for OBCs in medical education. It was the NDA government that established a separate Ministry for Tribal Affairs. In the past 10 years, the budget for tribal welfare has been increased fivefold. It is due to the policies of the NDA government that the enrollment of SC/ST/OBC youth in schools and colleges has significantly increased.”

Addressing the audience, PM Modi reaffirmed his government's dedication to promoting the principles of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' and fostering an environment of inclusive growth. “Modi worked to provide facilities to the poor, to reduce their worries. Today, when Modi guarantees 100% beneficiaries, 100% benefits of schemes, this is true social justice. This is true secularism. Guaranteeing a home for the poor, guaranteeing free ration, free treatment, guaranteeing toilets, electricity-water-gas connections, these guarantees of Modi benefit the SC-ST-OBC families the most,” said PM Modi.

Touching upon critical policy decisions, PM Modi emphasized the significance of constitutional reforms, including the abrogation of Article 370 and the enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), aimed at ensuring justice and equality for all citizens. “When Modi removed Article 370, the Congress president asked what benefit the country got from it? This is also evidence of Congress's anti-Dalit, tribal, and women policies, and vote bank politics. Removing Article 370 has given constitutional rights to all these sections in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time. Congress and the INDI Alliance are not liking this. Congress is also opposing the CAA, which provides citizenship because the biggest beneficiaries of this are the Dalits and Buddhists.”

In his address, PM Modi lauded the transformative development initiatives undertaken in Maharashtra, particularly in the Nagpur and Vidarbha regions. He highlighted the establishment of premier educational institutions, infrastructure projects, and economic initiatives aimed at bolstering regional growth and prosperity. “Such development can only be achieved by an honest, strong, and stable NDA government,” the Prime Minister stated.

Speaking ahead, PM Modi expressed his vision for the future, promising to accelerate the pace of development and usher in a new era of progress for Maharashtra and the nation as a whole.

During his concluding address, PM Modi urged the electorate to vote decisively in favor of the NDA candidates, reaffirming their commitment to good governance and inclusive development. He called upon every citizen to actively participate in the democratic process and uphold the values of unity, integrity, and progress.

Vibrant Civil Defence network to be created to meet modern challenges

Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi announced a series of initiatives and targets covering Artificial Intelligence, education, sports, Civil Defence, semiconductor manufacturing, nuclear energy and women-led development.

Key announcements from the Prime Minister’s address include:

1. AI Skilling for One Crore Youth: The Prime Minister announced that one crore youth would be trained in AI skills over the next one year. Referring to the rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence, he said the initiative would help equip India’s youth with the capability to lead in the world of AI.

2. Free Online Coaching for Various Examinations: The Prime Minister announced free online coaching for youth preparing for various examinations. Referring to the financial burden of coaching classes on poor and middle-class families, he said Digital Public Infrastructure, available talent and teachers would be brought together to create a complete network for providing free coaching to the country’s youth.

3. Nationwide Sports Talent Hunt for Children Aged 5-15 Years: The Prime Minister announced a talent hunt campaign across villages, cities and schools to identify sporting talent among children between five and 15 years of age. The identified children would be provided specialised training to develop them into players capable of representing the country. Referring to Olympic disciplines in which India currently does not participate or qualify, the Prime Minister said greater emphasis would be placed on building capabilities in such sports.

4. Vibrant Civil Defence Network for Modern Challenges: Highlighting the changing nature of warfare, the Prime Minister announced that a vibrant Civil Defence network would be created in the country. He said that warfare was no longer necessarily confined to borders and could also affect refineries, the banking sector, data centres, factories and other infrastructure. The Prime Minister said that Civil Defence arrangements developed in accordance with the wars of the previous century had become outdated. Citizens would therefore be familiarised with modern systems, and a large voluntary Civil Defence force capable of dealing with modern challenges would be developed.

5. More Semiconductor Plants to Strengthen Self-Reliance: The Prime Minister highlighted the critical role of semiconductor chips in the digital and technological world and said India was moving towards self-reliance in this sector. He said three semiconductor plants had already started and production from these facilities had begun to be exported. The Prime Minister further said that another five-seven or eight semiconductor plants would come up in the coming seven-eight years, and described self-reliance in semiconductors as a pathway towards Viksit Bharat.

6. 100 GW Nuclear Power Capacity by 2047: Highlighting the growing energy requirements of chips, AI and data centres, the Prime Minister underlined the importance of energy security and nuclear power. He said India was moving ahead with a target of 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047 and aimed to start five new nuclear reactors within this decade. The Prime Minister also said that India had achieved an important milestone this year in fast breeder nuclear technology, marking a significant step towards self-reliance in nuclear fuel.

7. Target of Six Crore Lakhpati Didis: Highlighting the contribution of women to nation-building, the Prime Minister said that the earlier target of creating three crore Lakhpati Didis had been surpassed. He said India would now move ahead with the target of six crore Lakhpati Didis. The creation of another three crore Lakhpati Didis, he said, would bring about a major transformation in the rural economy through the strength of women.
