The Viksit Bharat Ambassador meet-up recently convened at the Rajasthan International Centre in Jaipur, drawing over 800 participants from diverse backgrounds. Among them were students representing prestigious universities and professionals from associations like CA, medical, and legal sectors. During the meet-up, the esteemed chief guest, Union Minister Anurag Thakur, highlighted India's transformative journey under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the last decade.

Minister Thakur commended the nation's economic growth, citing that 25 crore people have risen above the poverty line, showcasing a significant shift in the country's socio-economic landscape. He also discussed how the government's programs promoted entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic inclusivity - the three essential components of the Viksit Bharat 2047 mission.

Dignitaries like State Cabinet Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore graced the event. Rathore emphasized the importance of the Viksit Bharat movement in promoting progress and empowerment and stressed the need for citizens to actively participate in realizing India's potential as a global powerhouse.

One of the focal points of Minister Thakur's discourse was India's burgeoning start-up ecosystem, which has flourished under favourable policies, nurturing the nation's 'Yuva Shakti' or youth power. The minister also lauded the rise of unicorns and the creation of millions of job opportunities, attributing these achievements to a conducive ecosystem for innovation and growth.

The discussion also delved into the government's proactive measures in transforming the informal economy into a formal one. Initiatives like Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), e-Shram cards, PM SVANidhi scheme, and PM Vishwakarma Yojana were highlighted as catalysts for inclusive development, ensuring welfare funds reach beneficiaries efficiently and empowering marginalized sections of society.

Minister Thakur highlighted India's technological advancements, such as the upcoming 'drone didis', which will revolutionize agriculture via drone-assisted operations. He added that these innovations align with India's vision of leveraging technology for sustainable growth and development across sectors.

During the Jaipur meet-up, attendees embraced their role as Viksit Bharat Ambassadors, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between government efforts and citizen engagement to promote India's holistic progress.

PM Modi’s speech sparks massive enthusiasm in Palakkad, Keralam
March 29, 2026
A BJP-NDA government in Keralam will ensure rapid development. This is Modi’s guarantee: PM Modi in Palakkad
The track record of the Congress and the Left shows that wherever they come to power, everything deteriorates: PM Modi
In Palakkad, PM Modi says that both the UDF and LDF are targeting the BJP because they fear the party will expose their past misdeeds
If the BJP comes to power, all the scams perpetrated by the LDF and UDF will be thoroughly investigated, and justice will be served: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a massive public gathering in Palakkad, highlighting the growing momentum for change in Keralam and expressing confidence in the rising support for the BJP-led NDA in the state. “I can clearly see a different atmosphere in the state this time. Keralam is sending a message of change,” he said.

Opening his address, the Prime Minister remarked, “The growing popularity of the NDA, the increasing trust in the BJP, and the overwhelming enthusiasm and presence of people here in Palakkad show that the mood of Keralam has now transformed into a movement.” He further emphasized, “Today, the youth, the women and the farmers of Keralam place their faith in the BJP and NDA.”

The PM credited this shift to the people of Keralam and the dedication of party karyakartas. “This transformation is the result of the blessings of the people of Kerala and the tireless efforts of lakhs of BJP karyakartas. Many of our karyakartas have sacrificed their lives due to political violence. I pay my heartfelt tribute to all of them,” he said.

Launching a sharp attack on both the LDF and UDF, PM Modi stated, “For decades, Keralam has been trapped between two faces of selfish politics -LDF and UDF. One is corrupt, the other is more corrupt. One is communal, the other is more communal. Their policies revolve only around vote bank politics, with no concern for Keralam’s development.”

Highlighting what he termed a 'tacit understanding' between the two alliances, the PM added, “For years, LDF and UDF have taken turns to rule and loot. Now both are targeting the BJP, which shows they fear us. They know that once BJP comes to power, their corruption will be exposed.” He asserted that a future NDA government would investigate all scams and deliver justice to the people of Keralam.

PM Modi also pointed to the developmental support extended by the Centre, stating that Keralam has received significantly higher funds in the last decade compared to previous regimes. However, he criticized the state government for poor utilization of these funds.

On development and employment, PM Modi highlighted the state’s immense potential but lamented the lack of industrial growth and job opportunities, which has led to migration. He contrasted this with initiatives taken by the Centre in Palakkad, including the establishment of an IIT, infrastructure upgrades and plans for a smart industrial city.

Focusing on women-led development, PM Modi said, “Empowering women has been a priority for the BJP. From financial inclusion to healthcare and housing, women are at the center of our schemes. We have also ensured greater political participation through the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.”

PM Modi exposed Congress misconduct and raised concerns about women’s safety. He said, “In Palakkad, Congress leaders have increasingly posed a safety concern for women. Just yesterday, the party expelled another leader over allegations of exploiting a woman. This reveals an uncomfortable truth about these parties, one that the women of Keralam should be well aware of.”

He also addressed farmers’ concerns, particularly delays in paddy procurement and payments, and highlighted the benefits provided under central schemes like PM-KISAN.

Touching upon global developments, the Prime Minister reassured citizens about the government’s efforts to safeguard Indians abroad amid ongoing conflicts in West Asia. He stressed that the safety and interests of Indian citizens remain the top priority of the NDA government.

“Since the outbreak of the conflict, I have been in constant touch with world leaders. The safety of Indians in affected regions is our top priority, with our embassies working round the clock to ensure their well-being. For the BJP-NDA government, the security of every Indian is paramount. However, the kind of statements being made by the Congress on this sensitive issue are dangerous, as they risk the safety of nearly one crore Indians in Gulf countries for political gain,” he said.

Concluding his address, PM Modi reiterated the vision for a “Viksit Keralam.” “Our resolve is clear- development, dignity and opportunity for every citizen. NDA guarantees an end to forced migration, respect for every youth’s talent, and development free from corruption and political interference. The kind of transformation seen in the rest of India will now be visible in Keralam as well,” he said.
