Addressing the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community in Jammu, Prime Minister Modi reiterated the commitment of his government towards their concerns and issues. He said that this issue is a deeply emotional one for him and so his government is devoted to ensuring dignity, respect and safety of their rights. In this context, he reminded people of the significance of the recently-held Panchayat elections in the state saying, “All of us witnessed the remarkable day when Panchayati elections were peacefully organised recently in this state, with an overwhelming 70 percent voter turnout. This is a historic milestone in strengthening democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.”

Speaking at length about his government’s commitment towards farmer welfare and empowerment, PM Modi highlighted the numerous initiatives taken by the Central government for the farmers in the last five years and more recently in the Interim Budget, saying, “For the first time ever in the history of this country has a government introduced such a comprehensive and historic scheme under which more than 12 crore farmer families, with a landholding of less than 5 acres, will be assisted with an amount of Rs. 6000 per year for the next five years and that money will be directly credited into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries, thus leaving no room for corruption to take place.”

Concluding his address at the rally, PM Modi asserted his government’s priorities for farmers’ welfare while also highlighting the nation’s gratefulness towards the country’s Armed Forces for ensuring security for every Indian. Lastly, he reiterated his vision of building a ‘New India’ that is strong, safe and modern.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 48th meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform aimed at fostering Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, by seamlessly integrating efforts of the Central and State governments, at South Block, earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed certain critical infrastructure projects across the Mines, Railways, and Water Resources sectors. These projects, pivotal to economic growth and public welfare, were reviewed with a focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, and issue resolution.

Prime Minister underscored that delays in project execution come at the dual cost of escalating financial outlays and denying citizens timely access to essential services and infrastructure. He urged officials, both at the Central and State levels, to adopt a results-driven approach to translate opportunity into improving lives.

During a review of Prime Minister-Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM), Prime Minister urged all States to accelerate the development of health infrastructure, with a special focus on Aspirational Districts, as well as remote, tribal, and border areas. He emphasized that equitable access to quality healthcare must be ensured for the poor, marginalized, and underserved populations, and called for urgent and sustained efforts to bridge existing gaps in critical health services across these regions.

Prime Minister emphasised that PM-ABHIM provides a golden opportunity to States to strengthen their primary, tertiary and specialised health infrastructure at Block, District and State level to provide quality health care and services.

Prime Minister reviewed exemplary practices fostering Aatmanirbharta in the defence sector, undertaken by various Ministries, Departments, and States/UTs. He lauded these initiatives for their strategic significance and their potential to spur innovation across the defence ecosystem. Underscoring their broader relevance, Prime Minister cited the success of Operation Sindoor, executed with indigenous capabilities, as a powerful testament to India’s advancing self-reliance in defence sector.

Prime Minister also highlighted how the States can avail the opportunity to strengthen the ecosystem and contribute to Aatmanirbharta in defence sector.
