“The areas and classes which were deprived and backward in the past, today their development is the priority of the country”

Respected members present on the stage. Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, we commemorate the birth anniversaries of the inspirational figures, Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. Yesterday, on October 1st, the entire country, including Rajasthan, embarked on a significant initiative towards cleanliness. I express my gratitude to all citizens for turning the cleanliness campaign into a mass movement.

Friends,

Respected Bapu advocated for cleanliness, self-reliance, and holistic development. Over the past nine years, our nation has greatly expanded upon these values of Bapu. Today, the inauguration of projects worth 7,200 crore rupees in Chittorgarh reflects this commitment.

Friends,

An unprecedented campaign is underway to lay a gas pipeline network across the country to strengthen the foundation of a Gas Based Economy. Gas pipelines are being laid from Mehsana to Bathinda, and today marks the dedication of the Pali-Hanumangarh section. This expansion will foster industrial growth in Rajasthan, creating thousands of new jobs. It will also accelerate our campaign to deliver affordable gas to the kitchens of our sisters.

Friends,

Today, several crucial projects connected by railway and road infrastructure have also been inaugurated. These facilities will facilitate the lives of the people in Mewar, creating new employment opportunities. The establishment of a new campus for the IIIT in Kota will further solidify its identity as an education hub.

Friends,

Rajasthan possess a rich heritage from the past, strength of the present and promising opportunities for the future. This triad of strengths contributes to the nation's overall capability. The inauguration of the Nathdwara Tourist Interpretation and Cultural Centre has also taken place. This centre, along with the inclusion of Govind Dev ji Temple in Jaipur, Khatushyam ji Temple in Sikar, and Nathdwara in the tourism circuit, will boost the pride of Rajasthan and benefit the tourism industry.

Friends,

Near Chittorgarh lies the Sanwariya Seth Temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, a centre of our collective faith. Every year, millions of devotees visit to pay homage to 'Sanwariya Seth’ ji. This temple holds special significance among the business community as well. The Indian government has modernized facilities in the 'Sanwariya ji Temple under the Swadesh Darshan scheme. Crores of rupees have been spent to create several facilities, including water laser shows, a tourist facility centre, amphitheater, and cafeteria. I believe these will enhance the comfort of devotees

Friends,

The development of Rajasthan is a top priority for the Indian government. We have focused on modern infrastructure such as expressways, highways, and railways in Rajasthan. Whether it is the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway or the Amritsar-Jamnagar Expressway, these projects will provide new energy to the logistics sector in Rajasthan. Recently, the Udaipur-Jaipur Vande Bharat train has also been inaugurated. Rajasthan is a crucial state benefiting from the Bharatmala project.

Friends,

The history of Rajasthan teaches us that we must progress with courage, glory, and development hand in hand. Present-day Bharat is moving forward with the same resolve. We are dedicated to building a developed Bharat with ‘Sabka Prayas’ (collective efforts). The development of those areas and classes which were left behind or marginalized in the past is now a priority of the country. Thus, the Aspirational District Program has been continuing successfully over the past five years. Rajasthan, including various districts in Mewar, is being developed under this program. The central government is now taking this program a step further by identifying and focusing on aspirational blocks and their rapid progress.

In the coming times, many blocks in Rajasthan will witness development under this program. The Vibrant Village program has also been initiated by the central government to prioritize the underprivileged. The bordering villages that were considered being the farthest for so many years are now being developed by recognising them as the first village. This is going to bring immense benefits to dozens of border villages in Rajasthan. I am going to speak on such issues in a more detailed and open manner after a few minutes because it is enjoyable to discuss such issues in an open conversation. Here there are some constraints. Therefore, I will have a detailed discussion there. I wish speedy success to our resolutions for the development of Rajasthan. With this wish, I extend hearty congratulations to the residents of Mewar for the numerous new projects.

Thank you all very much.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi attended the 59th All India Conference of Director Generals/ Inspector Generals of Police at Bhubaneswar on November 30 and December 1, 2024.

In the valedictory session, PM distributed President’s Police Medals for Distinguished Service to officers of the Intelligence Bureau. In his concluding address, PM noted that wide ranging discussions had been held during the conference, on national and international dimensions of security challenges and expressed satisfaction on the counter strategies which had emerged from the discussions.

During his address, PM expressed concern on the potential threats generated on account of digital frauds, cyber-crimes and AI technology, particularly the potential of deep fake to disrupt social and familial relations. As a counter measure, he called upon the police leadership to convert the challenge into an opportunity by harnessing India’s double AI power of Artificial Intelligence and ‘Aspirational India’.

He expanded the mantra of SMART policing and called upon the police to become strategic, meticulous, adaptable, reliable and transparent. Appreciating the initiatives taken in urban policing, he suggested that each of the initiatives be collated and implemented entirely in 100 cities of the country. He called for the use of technology to reduce the workload of the constabulary and suggested that the Police Station be made the focal point for resource allocation.

Discussing the success of hackathons in solving some key problems, Prime Minister suggested deliberating on holding a National Police Hackathon as well. Prime Minister also highlighted the need for expanding the focus on port security and preparing a future plan of action for it.

Recalling the unparalleled contribution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to Ministry of Home Affairs, PM exhorted the entire security establishment from MHA to the Police Station level, to pay homage on his 150th birth anniversary next year, by resolving to set and achieve a goal on any aspect which would improve Police image, professionalism and capabilities. He urged the Police to modernize and realign itself with the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’.

During the Conference, in depth discussions were held on existing and emerging challenges to national security, including counter terrorism, left wing extremism, cyber-crime, economic security, immigration, coastal security and narco-trafficking. Deliberations were also held on emerging security concerns along the border with Bangladesh and Myanmar, trends in urban policing and strategies for countering malicious narratives. Further, a review was undertaken of implementation of newly enacted major criminal laws, initiatives and best practices in policing as also the security situation in the neighborhood. PM offered valuable insights during the proceedings and laid a roadmap for the future.

The Conference was also attended by Union Home Minister, Principal Secretary to PM, National Security Advisor, Ministers of State for Home and Union Home Secretary. The conference, which was held in a hybrid format, was also attended by DGsP/IGsP of all States/UTs and heads of the CAPF/CPOs physically and by over 750 officers of various ranks virtually from all States/UTs.
