On 8th March, 2014, the second round of ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ will be organized across the country, at 5.30 pm. Coinciding with the International Women’s Day on 8th March, this round will have Shri Narendra Modi discussing issues of women empowerment, apart from the panel discussions with experts on women-related issues to precede the interactive session with Shri Modi.

A series of unique interactions between Shri Narendra Modi and the people of India, the novel initiative of Chai Pe Charcha connects Shri Narendra Modi to the people of India, through various kinds of digital technologies, and facilitates a discussion that enables Shri Modi to understand the problems they face.

Organized by the Citizens for Accountable Governance in collaboration with Bharatiya Janata Party, the Chai Pe Charcha had its inaugural session held on 12th February, with the theme of ‘Good Governance’, wherein a series of issues - beginning from development concerns to law and order - posed by people from across the country, were addressed by Shri Modi. While the first round had Shri Modi engaging in a live, constructive dialogue with the people of India across 1000 tea stalls in 300 cities, the second round will be organized at more than 1500 locations, in 500 plus cities.

PM Modi’s remarks during the BRICS session: ‘Peace and Security and Reform of Global Governance’
July 06, 2025

Your Highness,

Excellencies,

Namaskar!

I express my heartfelt gratitude to President Lula for the excellent organisation of the 17th BRICS Summit. Under Brazil’s dynamic chairmanship, our BRICS cooperation has gained fresh momentum and vitality. And let me say—the energy we’ve received isn’t just an espresso; it’s a double espresso shot! For this, I applaud President Lula's vision and his unwavering commitment. On behalf of India, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to my friend, President Prabowo, on Indonesia’s inclusion in the BRICS family.

Friends,

The Global South has often faced double standards. Whether it's about development, distribution of resources, or security related matters, the interests of the Global South have not been given due importance. The Global South often received nothing more than token gestures on topics like climate finance, sustainable development, and technology access.

Friends,

Two-thirds of humanity still lack proper representation in global institutions built in the 20th century. Many countries that play a key role in today’s global economy are yet to be given a seat at the decision-making table. This is not just about representation, it’s also about credibility and effectiveness. Without the Global South, these institutions are like a mobile phone with a SIM card but no network. They’re unable to function properly or meet the challenges of the 21st century. Whether it's ongoing conflicts across the world, the pandemic, economic crises, or emerging challenges in cyber or space, these institutions have failed to offer solutions.

Friends,

Today the world needs a new multipolar and inclusive world order. This will have to start with comprehensive reforms in global institutions. These reforms should not be merely symbolic, but their real impact should also be visible. There must be changes in governance structures, voting rights, and leadership positions. The challenges faced by countries in the Global South must be given priority in policymaking.

Friends,

The expansion of BRICS and the inclusion of new partners reflect its ability to evolve with the times. Now, we must demonstrate the same determination to reform institutions like the UN Security Council, the WTO, and Multilateral Development Banks. In the age of AI, where technology evolves every week, it's unacceptable for global institutions to go eighty years without reform. You can’t run 21st-century software on 20th-century typewriters!

Friends,

India has always considered it a duty to rise above self interest and work towards the interest of humanity. We’re fully committed to work along with the BRICS countries on all matters, and provide our constructive contributions. Thank you very much.
