On his visit to Odisha, PM Modi addressed a jubilant crowd in Jajpur and paid his tributes to former CM Biju Pattnaik on his birth anniversary. He said, "The presence of innumerable people here is a testimony to 400+ seats for the N.D.A. in 2024. He added, "The vision for 400+ seats for N.D.A. will enable India to become the 3rd largest economy on the back of strong decision-making & robust policy implementation."


Speaking on the prospects of development in Odisha, PM Modi said, "The last ten years have seen unprecedented investments in Odisha, and we aim to make Odisha the gateway of an Atmanirbhar & Viksit Bharat." He said that we are enabling the development of an industrial base in Odisha with several petrochemical & polyester-based industries.


In elaborating on Odisha's state of affairs before 2014, PM Modi said, "Before 2014, the Congress & its allies only indulged in large-scale corruption looting public money and filling their coffers." Whenever any poor person, Dalit & Tribal, sought the help of the Congress, the Congress would always ask for a guarantee, he added. PM Modi remarked, "In 2014, this changed as Modi's guarantee emerged for all those who didn't possess a guarantee." He said that be it the PM Vishwakarma Yojana or the PM JANMAN Yojana, Modi's guarantee began where all other guarantees ended.


Regarding Odisha's solar prowess, PM Modi said, "The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana aims to facilitate self-sufficiency in electricity generation and provision, aiming to provide 300 units of free electricity to all." He said this will facilitate rooftop solar system growth in both the state and country. He added that our various schemes aim to enable a prosperous individual and families that will create a 'Viksit Bharat'.


Lamenting the I.N.D.I alliance with creating impediments to India's development, PM Modi said, "The members of the I.N.D.I alliance have become roadblocks to the development of India, whose motto is 'Family First.'" He added that our government works with the principle of 'Nation First' and is dedicated to the development of all. He said this principle has enabled the exit of 25 crore people from poverty over the last ten years and will also enable India to become the 3rd largest economy.


In conclusion, PM Modi said, "My duty is to work for the empowerment of all, and all the people of Odisha are Modi ka Parivar." He added that he is hopeful that the people of Odisha will keep supporting the B.J.P. to enable it to become victorious in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

PM chairs 53rd PRAGATI Meeting
August 25, 2026
PM reviews six key infrastructure projects across the Railway, Road and Power sectors
Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of more than ₹30,000 crore
PM says Infrastructure projects should be viewed as an integrated whole, rather than as individual sections or packages
PM calls for continuous reforms across all stages of project implementation and a proactive work culture across Ministries and States
PM says Speed must go hand-in-hand with quality
While reviewing AgriStack, PM emphasises the need to leverage the latest digital technologies including AI to derive greater value from agricultural data
On cyber fraud and ‘digital arrest’, PM stresses training, public awareness, cyber-safety education and coordinated action

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 53rd meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, at Seva Teerth earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed six key infrastructure projects across the Railway, Road and Power sectors, spanning nine States with a cumulative cost of more than ₹30,000 crore. The projects, significant for strengthening connectivity, supporting industrial and economic activity and improving public services, were reviewed with particular emphasis on adherence to timelines, inter-agency coordination, resolution of pending issues and expeditious completion.

Prime Minister emphasised that delays in infrastructure projects have consequences beyond cost escalation, as they also postpone the benefits intended for citizens, businesses and the economy. He said that infrastructure projects should be viewed and monitored as an integrated whole, rather than as isolated sections, stretches or packages. He noted that progress in individual packages should ultimately translate into timely completion and operationalisation of the entire project. Ministries and States were therefore asked to adopt an end-to-end approach, and address critical gaps that could delay the overall commissioning and delivery of benefits. He called for fostering a proactive work culture across Ministries and State Governments, with greater ownership at every level of project implementation.

Prime Minister stressed the need to explore common utility corridors for infrastructure services, wherever feasible, particularly while planning major transport and infrastructure projects. He called upon Ministries and States to examine such integrated approaches at the planning stage itself, keeping in view their technical and economic feasibility.

Prime Minister said that speed of execution must be accompanied by uncompromising quality. He called upon Ministries, States and implementing agencies to adopt modern technologies and strengthen quality assurance and supervision at every stage.

While reviewing AgriStack under the Digital Agriculture Mission, Prime Minister emphasised the need to leverage the latest digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to derive greater value from agricultural data. He stressed that the data ecosystem should be effectively utilised across the agricultural value chain, from input planning to processing, enabling more informed interventions, better targeting and data-driven decision-making. He appreciated the efforts of the States and the Central Government in building the AgriStack ecosystem and called for further strengthening its use for delivering better outcomes for farmers.

During the review of cyber fraud cases, including incidents of digital arrest, Prime Minister said that prevention must be strengthened through a sustained focus on training, awareness and education. He stressed the need for continuous and targeted public-awareness campaigns, particularly for senior citizens, youth and other vulnerable sections, to familiarise them with common fraud techniques, warning signs and safe digital practices. He also called for regular capacity-building of personnel involved so that emerging modes of cyber fraud are identified and acted upon swiftly.
