Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the President of France, H.E. Mr. Emmanuel Macron, jointly visited the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor [ITER] in Cadarache earlier today. The leaders were welcomed by Director General, ITER. This was the first visit by any Head of State or Head of Government to ITER - one of the most ambitious fusion energy projects in the world today.

During the visit, the leaders appreciated the progress of ITER, including the assembly of the world’s largest Tokamak, where ultimately 500 MW of fusion power will be produced by creating, containing and controlling burning plasma. The leaders also appreciated the dedication of the ITER engineers and scientists working on the project.

India is among the seven ITER members contributing to the project over the last two decades. Around 200 Indian scientists and associates, as well as notable industry players such as L&T, Inox India, TCS, TCE, HCL Technologies, among others, are engaged in the ITER project.

Congress-RJD protects infiltrators for vote bank politics and such policies threaten job security and women’s safety: PM Modi in Sitamarhi
PM Modi promised stronger action against infiltration and urges voters to back the NDA for security, development and dignity in Sitamarhi

PM Modi addressed a large and enthusiastic gathering in Sitamarhi, Bihar, seeking blessings at the sacred land of Mata Sita and underlining the deep connection between faith and nation building. Recalling the events of November 8 2019, when he had prayed for a favourable Ayodhya judgment before inauguration duties the next day, he said today he had come to Sitamarhi to seek the people’s blessings for a Viksit Bihar. He reminded voters that this election will decide the future of Bihar’s youth and urged them to vote for progress.

The PM celebrated Bihar’s skill and craft and said he carries Bihar’s art to the world. He recalled gifting Madhubani paintings during visits abroad and at the G20. He said he is proud of Bihar’s artisans and wants Bihar’s products to reach new markets. He highlighted how policies of the NDA have turned Bihar from a state that once imported fish into a state that now supplies fish to other states. He said the aim is to take makhana to global markets so small farmers benefit.

PM Modi warned voters about the politics of appeasement practiced by some opposition leaders. He criticised those who have belittled Chhath and shown disrespect to major faith traditions. He noted that Ayodhya is not only the home of Ram but also of Valmiki Maharshi, Nishadraj and Mata Shabari, and said the politics that insults our faith cannot serve Bihar’s interests. He accused Congress-RJD of protecting infiltrators for vote bank politics and warned that such policies threaten job security and women’s safety. He asked the people whether it is not necessary to remove infiltrators and assured them that every vote for the NDA will strengthen action against infiltration.

PM’s concluding remarks combined faith pride, cultural pride and a clear call for votes that guarantee security, development and dignity for Bihar. The rally echoed with support and confidence for a future of growth and stability.
