وزیراعظم نے کہا کہ ٹچ ڈاؤن کا لمحہ قوم کے شعور میں امر ہو گیا ہے۔ ٹچ ڈاؤن کا لمحہ اس صدی کے سب سے متاثر کن لمحات میں سے ایک تھا۔ ہر ہندوستانی نے اسے اپنی جیت کے طور پر محسوس كیا۔ وزیر اعظم نے اس عظیم کامیابی کا سہرا سائنسدانوں كے سر باندھا۔

وزیر اعظم نے مون لینڈر کے مضبوط قدموں کی تصاویر کی وضاحت کرتے ہوئے کہا كہ "ہمارے 'مون لینڈرنے 'انگد کی طرحمضبوطی سے چاند پر اپنے قدم جمائے ہیں۔ ایک طرف وکرم کی بہادری ہے تو دوسری طرف پرگیان کی بہادری ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ یہ چاند کے کبھی نہ دیکھے گئے حصوں کی تصاویر ہیں اور یہ كارنامہ ہندوستان نے کر دكھایا ہے۔ جناب مودی نے کہا كہ ’’پوری دنیا نے ہندوستان کے سائنسی جذبے، ٹیکنالوجی اور مزاج کو تسلیم کر لیا ہے۔

سائنس کے حصول کی فلاحی بنیاد پر زور دیتے ہوئے وزیر اعظم نے کہا کہ ان مقدس قراردادوں کو شکتی کے آشیرواد کی ضرورت ہے اور یہ شکتی ہماری ناری شکتی ہے۔ انہوں نے زور دے کر کہا کہ چندریان-3 قمری مشن کی کامیابی میں ہماری خواتین سائنسدانوں، ملک کی ناری شکتی نے بڑا کردار ادا کیا ہے۔ جناب مودی نے مزید کہا كہ "چاند کا شیو شکتی پوائنٹ ہندوستان کی اِس سائنسی اور فلسفیانہ سوچ کی گواہی دے گا"۔

اس بات پر زور دیتے ہوئے کہ ہندوستان چاند کی سطح پر کامیاب ٹچ ڈاؤن کرنے والا چوتھا ملک بن گیا ہے وزیر اعظم نے کہا کہ جب ہم ہندوستان کے خلائی پروگرام کے شائستہ آغاز پر غور کرتے ہیں تو یہ کارنامہ اور بھی بڑا نظر آتا ہے۔ انہوں نے ان اوقات کو یاد کیا جب ہندوستان کو تیسری دنیا کا ملک سمجھا جاتا تھا اور اس کے پاس مطلوبہ ٹیکنالوجی اور كوءی حمایت حاصل نہیں تھی۔

آج وزیر اعظم نے کہا کہ ہندوستان دنیا کی 5 ویں سب سے بڑی معیشت بن گیا ہے اور اب یہ دنیا کے پہلے ممالک میں شامل ہے چاہے وہ درخت ہوں یا ٹیکنالوجی۔ "تیسری قطار سے 'پہلی قطارتک کے سفر میں، ہمارے 'اسروجیسے اداروں نے بہت بڑا کردار ادا کیا ہے"۔ وزیر اعظم نے اسرو کے تعاون پر روشنی ڈالتے ہوئے کہا کہ اس نے آج میک ان انڈیا کو چاند پر پہنچا دیا ہے۔

وزیر اعظم نے اس موقع پر اسرو کی محنت کو ہم وطنوں كو آگاہ كرتے ہوے كہا كہ جنوبی ہندوستان سے چاند کے جنوب تک، یہ آسان سفر نہیں تھا۔ ساتھ ہی انہوں نے یہ بھی بتایا كہ اسرو نے اپنی تحقیقی سہولت گاہ میں ایک مصنوعی چاند بھی بنایا ہے۔ وزیر اعظم نے ایسے خلائی مشنوں کی کامیابیوں کا سہرا ہندوستان کے نوجوانوں میں جدت طرازی اور سائنسی جوش کے سر باندھا اور كہا كہ منگل یان اور چندریان کی کامیابیوں اور گگن یان کی تیاری نے ملک کی نوجوان نسل کو ایک نیا نقطہِ نظر دیا ہے۔جناب مودی نے ساءنس دانوں سے کہا کہ آپ کی بڑی کامیابی ہندوستانیوں کی ایک نسل کو بیدار کر رہی ہے اور اسے توانائی بخش رہی ہے۔آج چندریان کا نام ہندوستان کے بچوں میں گونج رہا ہے اور ہر بچہ سائنس دانوں میں اپنا مستقبل دیکھ رہا ہے۔

 

وزیر اعظم نے اعلان کیا کہ 23 اگست، چاند پر چندریان 3 کی سافٹ لینڈنگ کے دن کو 'قومی خلائی دنکے طور پر منایا جائے گا۔انہوں نے کہا کہ قومی خلائی دن سائنس، ٹیکنالوجی اور اختراع کے جذبے کو منائے گا اور ہمیں داءمی تحریک دے گا۔

وزیر اعظم نے نوٹ کیا کہ خلائی شعبے کی صلاحیتیں صرف سیٹلائٹ لانچ کرنے اور خلائی تحقیق تک محدود نہیں ہیں اور اس کی طاقت زندگی اور حكمرانی كو آسان بنانے میں دیکھی جا سکتی ہے۔ انہوں نے مرکزی حکومت میں جوائنٹ سکریٹری سطح کے افسران کے لیے اسرو کے ساتھ اپنی وزارت عظمیٰ کے ابتدائی برسوں میں منعقد کردہ ورکشاپ کو یاد کیا اور خلائی ایپلی کیشنز کو گورننس سے جوڑنے کے لیے کی گئی زبردست پیش رفت کا ذکر کیا۔ انہوں نے سوچھ بھارت ابھیان؛  دور دراز علاقوں تک تعلیم، مواصلات اور صحت کی خدمات؛ ٹیلی میڈیسن اور ٹیلی ایجوکیشن میں خلائی ٹیکنالوجی کے کردار کا ذکر کیا۔۔ انہوں نے این اے وی آئی سی نظام کے کردار اور قدرتی آفات کے دوران مدد کے بارے میں بھی بات کی۔ خلائی ٹیکنالوجی ہمارے پی ایم گتی شکتی نیشنل ماسٹر پلان کی بنیاد بھی ہے۔اس سے پروجیكٹوں کی منصوبہ بندی، عملدرآمد اور نگرانی میں بہت مدد مل رہی ہے۔ وزیر اعظم نے مزید کہا کہ خلائی ایپلیكیشن کا یہ دائرہ، جو وقت کے ساتھ بڑھ رہا ہے، ہمارے نوجوانوں کے لیے مواقع بھی بڑھا رہا ہے۔

وزیر اعظم نے اسرو سے درخواست کی کہ وہ مرکز اور ریاستی حکومتوں کے مختلف محکموں کے ساتھ مل کر ’خلائی ٹیکنالوجی ان گورننس‘ پر قومی ہیکاتھون کا انعقاد کرے۔انہوں نے کہا کہ مجھے یقین ہے کہ یہ نیشنل ہیکاتھون ہماری حکمرانی کو مزید موثر بنائے گا اور ہم وطنوں کو جدید حل فراہم کرے گا۔

وزیر اعظم نے ملک کے نوجوانوں کو ایک کام بھی دیا۔ انھوں نے کہا کہ میں چاہتاہوں کہ نئی نسل ہندوستان کے قدیم صحیفوں میں موجود فلکیاتی حقائق کو ثابت کرنے کے لئے آگے آئے اور نئے سرے سے ان کا مطالعہ کرے۔ یہ ہماری وراثت کے لئے بھی اہم ہے اور سائنس کے لئے بھی اہم ہے۔ ایک طرح سے یہ اسکولوں ، کالجوں اور یونیورسٹیوں کے طلبا پر دوہری ذمہ داری ہے۔ ہندوستان سائنسی علوم کا جو خزانہ رکھا ہے وہ غلامی کے طویل دور میں دفن کردیا گیا اور چھپا دیا گیا تھا۔ آزادی کے اس امرت کال میں ہمیں اس خزانے کی بھی بازیافت کرنا ہے ، اس پر تحقیق کرنا ہے اور دنیا کو اس کے بارے میں بتانا ہے۔

 

وزیر اعظم نے ماہرین کے انداز ے کے بارے میں بھی بتایا کہ آئندہ چند برسوں میں ہندوستان کی خلائی صنعت آٹھ ارب ڈالرسے بڑھ کر سولہ ارب ڈالر  کی ہوجائے گی۔ حکومت خلا کے شعبے میں اصلاحات کے لئے انتھک کام کررہی ہے اور ملک کے نوجوان بھی اس جانب کوشش کررہے ہیں اور گزشتہ چار برسوں کے دوران خلا سے متعلق اسٹارٹ اپس کی تعداد چار سے بڑھ کر ڈیڑھ سو ہوگئی ہے۔ وزیر اعظم نے ملک بھر کے نوجوانوں پر زور دیا کہ وہ یکم ستمبر سے مائی گوو کی جانب سے شروع کئے جانے والے چندریان سے متعلق کوئز میں بڑھ چڑھ کر حصہ لیں۔

اکیسویں صدی کے اس وقت میں سائنس اور ٹیکنالوجی میں قائدانہ حیثیت حاصل کرنے کی اہمیت پر زور دیتے ہوئے وزیر اعظم نے کہا کہ ہندوستان دنیا بھر میں سب سے زیادہ نوجوان صلاحیتوں والا ملک بن گیا ہے۔ سمندر کی گہرائی سے لے کر آسمان کی بلندیوں تک اور خلا کی گہرائیوں تک نوجوان نسل کو بہت کچھ کرنا ہے۔ وزیراعظم نے زمین کی گہرائی سے سمندر کی گہرائی تک سے متعلق امکانات پر بات کی اور کہا کہ اب کمپیوٹر سے جینٹک انجینئرنگ تک ہندستان میں بے پناہ امکانات کے دروازے کھل رہے ہیں۔

وزیر اعظم نے کہا کہ آنے والی نسلوں کے لئے رہنمائی کی ضرورت ہے اور یہی لوگ ہیں جو آج کے مشنوں کو آگے لے کر جائیں گے۔ وزیر اعظم نے کہا کہ سائنسداں ان کے لئے مثالی حیثیت رکھتے ہیں اور ان کی تحقیق اور برسوں کی سخت جانفشانی نے ثابت کردیا ہے کہ اگر آپ پختہ عزم کرلیں تو کچھ بھی ممکن کرسکتے ہیں۔ اپنی تقریر کا اختتام کرتے ہوئے وزیر اعظم نے کہا کہ ملک کے عوام کو سائنسدانوں پر اعتماد ہے اور عوام کی نیک خواہشات کے ساتھ ہندوستان سائنس اور ٹیکنالوجی کے شعبے میں ایک عالمی لیڈر بنے گا۔ جناب مودی نے کہاکہ اختراع کے بارے میں ہمارا یہی جذبہ 2047 تک ہندوستان کو ترقی یافتہ ملکوں کی صف میں کھڑا کرنے کے ہمارے خواب کو شرمندہ تعبیر کرے گا۔

Victory to Mother India!

Victory to Mother India!

Victory to Mother India!

Has the inauguration happened? Has the inauguration happened? No, only half the work is done. I have only removed that curtain, but today I want the inauguration of this airport to be done by all of you who are present here, and therefore, take out your mobile phones, turn on your mobile phone’s flashlight, and you are inaugurating it. By lighting a lamp, every person present here is inaugurating this airport today. This is your property, this is your future, this is your hard work, and therefore its inauguration is also being done by your hands; by saying Victory to Mother India, raising your hands, show the flashlight completely. Victory to Mother India!Victory to Mother India! Victory to Mother India! Many many thanks. Now the inauguration is done.

Governor of Uttar Pradesh Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister here Yogi Adityanath ji, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya, Brajesh Pathak, my colleagues in the Central Cabinet Shri Rammohan Naidu ji, Pankaj Chaudhary ji, Chairman of Zurich Airport Joseph Felder ji, other ministers, MPs, MLAs, other dignitaries, and my dear brothers and sisters.

I am seeing, today wherever my eyes are falling, all youth are visible to me, youth filled with enthusiasm, youth filled with passion, because these youth know, this work that is happening, you know, this is work that gives a new flight to the future of young people. Today we are starting a new chapter of the Developed UP-Developed India campaign. The largest state of the country has today become one of the states with the most international airports in the country. And today there are two reasons for pride and happiness for me. One is that you all gave me the privilege of laying the foundation stone of this airport and you all gave me the privilege of the inauguration of this airport as well, but I shared that privilege with you and got the inauguration done by your hands. Second, the Uttar Pradesh which chose me as its representative, the Uttar Pradesh which made me an MP, with its identity, with the identity of that Uttar Pradesh, the name of this grand airport has also been joined.

Friends,

This airport of Noida is going to bring great benefit to this entire region - Agra, Mathura, Aligarh, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Etawah, Bulandshahr, Faridabad. It definitely has to happen for India and Uttar Pradesh. This airport is going to bring many new opportunities for the farmers of Western Uttar Pradesh, small and micro industries, and the youth here. From here, aircraft will fly for the world, and simultaneously, it will become a symbol of the flight of developed Uttar Pradesh. I give many many congratulations to Uttar Pradesh, especially to the people of Western Uttar Pradesh, for this grand airport.

Friends,

Today's program is a symbol of India's new mood. You all are seeing how worried the whole world is today. War has been going on in West Asia for a month. Because of the war, a crisis of food items, petrol-diesel-gas, fertilizers, many such essential things has been created all around in many countries. Every country is making some effort or the other to face this crisis, is trying. And our India is also fighting this crisis with full strength, relying on the strength of the countrymen. India has been bringing crude oil and gas in very large quantities from where the war is going on, from the area affected by this war. Therefore, the government is taking every step so that the burden of this crisis does not fall on ordinary families, on our farmer brothers and sisters.

Friends,

Even in this time of crisis, India has continued its rapid development. If I talk only about Western Uttar Pradesh, then in just the last few weeks, this is the fourth big project whose foundation stone has been laid or inauguration has happened. In these few weeks, during this time, the foundation stone of a very big semiconductor factory was laid in Noida; in this same period, the country's first Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat train picked up speed; in this same period, the Meerut Metro was expanded; and in such a short time today, the inauguration of Noida International Airport happened by your hands.

Friends,

All these projects are a grand example of the efforts of the double-engine government for the development of UP. The semiconductor factory is making India self-reliant in technology. Meerut Metro and Namo Bharat rail are giving fast and smart connectivity. And this Jewar airport of ours is connecting the whole of North India to the world. And you just saw in the video, such an airport is being built where a plane will fly every two minutes, a plane will fly every two minutes. Earlier, people of SP had made Noida an ATM for their loot. But today in the BJP government, that same Noida is becoming a powerful engine of UP's development.

Friends,

This airport of Jewar is also a very good example of the work culture of the double-engine government. Now you think, the government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji had given approval to this airport in files back in 2003. In 2003, there will be many among you who would not have been born, there will be many people who at that time would have been 25-30 years old, 35 years old and have retired today, but the airport was not built. But Congress at the Center and previous governments here did not even let the foundation of this airport be laid for years. From 2004 to 2014, this airport remained buried in files. When our government was formed, there was the SP government in UP. In the first two-three years, the SP people did not let work happen on this. But as soon as the BJP-NDA government was formed here, the BJP-NDA government was formed in Delhi, then the foundation of Jewar airport was laid, construction also happened, and now it has started as well.

Friends,

Besides the airport, this area is also becoming a hub for two big freight corridors of the country. These freight corridors are special tracks laid for goods trains. Due to this, the connectivity of North India with the seas of Bengal and Gujarat has become better. And Dadri is that place where both these corridors meet each other. Meaning, what farmers grow here, what industries make here, will be able to reach every corner of the world quickly by land and by air route. Due to such multi-modal connectivity, UP is becoming a very big attraction for investors across the world.

Friends,

The Noida which was earlier left to its fate due to superstition, where previous rulers were afraid to come for fear of losing their chair - I remember there was the SP government here and I made a program to come to Noida, so the Chief Minister was so scared that he did not come to that program and people also tried to scare me, "Don't go to Noida Modi ji, you have just become Prime Minister." I said I am going to take the blessings of this land, which will give me the opportunity to serve for a long time. Now that same area is ready to welcome the whole world. This entire region is strengthening the resolution of Self-reliant India.

Friends,

In the economy of this region, farming-agriculture has great importance. Today, I especially express gratitude to those farmer brothers and sisters of mine who have given their lands to make this project a reality. Clap loudly for those farmers friends, clap loudly for my farmer brothers and sisters. My farmer brothers and sisters, only with this contribution of yours, a new era of development is going to start in this entire region. The expansion of modern connectivity happening here will give more strength to the possibilities of food processing in Western UP. Now the agricultural products here will be able to go to world markets in a better way.

Friends,

Here I want to thank my farmer friends for one more thing as well. From the ethanol made from your sugarcane, the dependence of the country on crude oil has reduced. If the production of ethanol did not increase, if its blending in petrol did not increase, the country would have had to import four and a half crore barrels, four and a half crore barrels meaning almost 700 crore liters of crude oil from abroad every year. The hard work of farmers has given such big relief to the country in this time of crisis.

Friends,

With ethanol, the country has benefited, and farmers have also had a very big benefit. Because of this, foreign exchange of about one and a half lakh crore rupees has been saved. Meaning if ethanol were not made, then this money was certain to go abroad. In the past years, so much money has been received by the farmers of the country, has been received by sugarcane farmers.

Friends,

The sugarcane farmers here have also seen those days of earlier times when sugarcane arrears used to remain pending for many many years. But today, with the efforts of the BJP double-engine government, the condition of sugarcane farmers has improved.

Friends,

In any country, an airport is not just a general facility. These airports also give flight to progress. Before the year 2014, there were only 74 airports in the country. Today there are more than 160 airports in the country. Now besides metros, air connectivity is reaching small cities of the country as well. Earlier governments that existed used to believe that air travel should be only for the rich. But the BJP government has made air travel easy for the common Indian. Our government, rapidly expanding the network of airports in Uttar Pradesh, has increased their number to seventeen.

Friends,

It has been the continuous effort of the BJP government that airports are built and fares should also remain within the reach of common families. Therefore, we started the Udan scheme. Because of this scheme, in the last few years, more than one crore sixty lakh countrymen have done air travel at cheap rates by taking tickets from the Udan scheme. And I want to give you one more piece of information. Recently, the Central Government has expanded the Udan scheme further. For this, approval of about 29 thousand crore rupees has been given. In the coming years under this, there is a plan to build 100 new airports and 200 new helipads in small cities. UP will also benefit very much from this.

Friends,

India's aviation sector is progressing and developing with great speed. As new airports are being built in India, similarly the need for new aircraft is also increasing. Therefore, different airlines of the country have given orders for hundreds of new planes. These new facilities, new planes that are coming - the people who fly them, those who provide service in them, those related to maintenance - for every such work, a workforce will be needed in very large numbers. This is a very big opportunity for the youth. Therefore, our government is also expanding the training facilities in the aviation sector.

Friends,

When you buy any vehicle for yourself, you definitely see whether the servicing center of that vehicle-making company is nearby or not. You will be surprised to know that in our country, there were no solid arrangements for servicing of aircraft, meaning their Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul. Today even for 85 percent of aircraft in India, one has to send them abroad for Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul, meaning MRO, for this work. Therefore, our government has determined that we will make India self-reliant in the MRO sector as well. Now in India itself, MRO facilities are being developed on a very large scale. Today here in Jewar also, the foundation stone of an MRO facility has been laid. When this facility is ready, it will serve domestic and foreign aircraft. From this, the country will also earn, our money will also remain in the country, and the youth will also get many jobs.

Friends,

Today the priority of our government is the convenience of the citizens of the country. The time of the citizen of the country should be saved and there should not be too much burden on his pocket - this is our goal. Modern rail services like Metro and Vande Bharat are being expanded with this very sentiment. Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat rail—how much benefit is happening from this, we all are seeing. Until now, more than two and a half crore people have traveled in Namo Bharat. The journey of Delhi-Meerut which earlier took hours is now being completed in minutes.

Friends,

Our government is making unprecedented investment in the developed modern infrastructure of developed India. In the last 11 years, the budget for infrastructure has been increased by more than six times. In these years, 17 lakh crore rupees have been spent on highways and expressways; more than one lakh kilometers of highways have been constructed. Until 2014, electrification of only 20 thousand kilometers of route had happened in railways. Whereas after 2014, electrification of more than 40 thousand kilometers of railway track has been done. Today almost 100 percent electrification of the broad gauge network has been done. Today be it Kashmir Valley or the capitals of North East, these are connecting to the rail network for the first time. The capacity of ports, meaning harbors, has more than doubled in the last decade. The number of river waterways in the country is also continuously increasing. India is working rapidly in every field necessary for the building of developed India.

Friends,

For making developed India, everyone's effort is very important. It is necessary that 140 crore countrymen do the hardest of hard work and face global crises by staying united. How to face the crises created by the war currently going on, I have told about this in detail in the Parliament too. I also had a long discussion yesterday with all the Chief Ministers of the country and a very positive discussion happened. I will say again today to all of you public-gods (janata-janardan), I will say again to the countrymen. We have to face this crisis with a calm mind, with patience, with unity, and by joining together. This is a crisis that creates trouble in the whole world. We have to care most about our country. And this is the biggest strength of us Indians. I also want to say with insistence to all political parties of UP and the country, want to say with request - avoid saying such things in this kind of crisis which are harmful for the country. Whatever is in the favor of Indians, whatever is in the interest of India, that alone is the policy and strategy of the Government of India. Those who do wrong rhetoric for politics will get some numbers in political debate, but the people of the country never forgive actions that harm the country. Even during the great crisis of Corona, some people spread rumors, told lies about the vaccine, so that the government's work becomes difficult and the country suffers loss. What was the result? The public rejected such politics during elections, turned it down. I am fully confident that all political parties of the country will also learn a lesson from this and they will give strength and power to the united efforts of the country. With this request, once again many many best wishes to Uttar Pradesh for this wonderful airport.
