The Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mr Brijesh Pathak, welcomed everyone to the event and highlighted the government's support for initiatives driving socio-economic progress.

Minister Thakur highlighted the government's three key mantras - 'Reform, Perform, and Transform,' which have played a pivotal role in this evolution, with a focus on extending benefits to every citizen.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur credited the decisive leadership of the Modi government for the significant changes witnessed in the past decade. He pointed out the transition from a struggling economy labelled the 'Fragile Five' to a thriving economy and the uplifting of 25 crore people from below the poverty line as notable achievements.

Mr Thakur reflected on the past and compared the UPA era, which was marked by corruption scandals and remote-control governance, with the current government's transparent and proactive approach. He pointed out key economic indicators such as India's rapid growth trajectory and its upcoming position as the world's third-largest economy in the coming years. The minister also touched upon the government's dedication to improving women's lives by mentioning various schemes such as free LPG cylinders, sanitation facilities, maternity benefits, and skill training initiatives aimed at empowering women.

 

Mr Anurag Thakur praised Uttar Pradesh for its contributions to India's development, emphasising the state's crucial role in achieving India's vision of a developed nation. He highlighted its progress in various sectors, including establishing bases by major aircraft makers such as Boeing and Airbus, with Uttar Pradesh leading in defence infrastructure. He also noted the state's burgeoning aviation sector, with plans for international airport development.
Minister Anurag Thakur described Ram Mandir as a manifestation of a 500-year-old dream. He also stated that the Modi government has made consistent and sustained efforts to strengthen the nation's infrastructure, kick-start the economy in many new sectors, and revitalise the places of worship.

During the event, he encouraged the attendees to become Viksit Bharat Ambassadors and help achieve the Viksit Bharat 2047 objective. He asked them to spread the word about the various 'growth markers' and encourage their fellow citizens to join India's journey towards becoming a developed nation.
