Recalling that as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he had perhaps the greatest connect with Japanese business, the Prime Minister said he recognized the importance of good governance, ease of business and simplification of policies.

Highlighting the initiatives of the first 100 days of his Government, he said moves to ease FDI rules have been widely appreciated. He said the GDP growth of 5.7% in the first quarter of 2014-15 has generated a huge positive sentiment. He said the clear mandates received by the Governments of both India and Japan, and the political stability they had generated, would deliver a strong push to bilateral ties. 

The Prime Minister said he wants India to follow the Japanese model for skill development, so that its demographic dividend can meet the global requirement of skilled manpower. He said he had initiated a move to introduce the Japanese principles of management in the PMO as well.

Exhorting Japanese business to invest in India, the Prime Minister said India-Japan relations go much further than just commerce. He noted that the 21st century will be Asia’s century, but wondered how it would look like? He said that for meeting the aspirations of people in this century, India and Japan have a big role to play. 

Outlining the approaches for Development (Vikaswaad) vs Expansionism (Vistarwaad), he said India and Japan must show the way of Buddha to the world, and act as a force for development. 

Saying that the Who’s Who of India’s business had come to Japan with him, the Prime Minister said they were his partners in taking India forward. Now, he said, India and Japan should be partners, for Asia and the world.

PM Modi to dedicate successful implementation of three New Criminal Laws to the Nation at Chandigarh
December 02, 2024
Theme of the programme: "Secure Society, Developed India - From Punishment to Justice"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate to the nation the successful implementation of three transformative new criminal laws—Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam on December 3, 2024 at 12 noon at Chandigarh.

The conceptualisation of the three laws was driven by the vision of the Prime Minister to remove colonial era laws which had continued to exist post independence, and to transform the judicial system by shifting focus from punishment to justice. Keeping this in mind, the theme of this programme is "Secure Society, Developed India- From Punishment to Justice".

The new criminal laws, which were implemented nationwide on July 1, 2024, aim to make India’s legal system more transparent, efficient, and adaptable to the needs of contemporary society. These landmark reforms mark a historic overhaul of India’s criminal justice system, bringing in new frameworks to tackle modern-day challenges such as cybercrime, organized crime and ensuring justice for victims of various offenses.

The programme will showcase the practical application of these laws, demonstrating how they are already reshaping the criminal justice landscape. A live demonstration will also be held, simulating a crime scene investigation where the new laws will be put into action.
