PM Modi on Developed India 2047: With the resolve to make the country a fully developed nation i.e. ‘Developed India’ (Viksit Bharat 2047) by the year 2047, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given the mantra of a very clear and inspiring work culture. Addressing an important event related to the media world, Prime Minister Modi said that the biggest strength of media and journalism is its timeliness – for a journalist, there is a strict deadline for the publication of every news, every bulletin and every newspaper, which cannot be avoided under any circumstances. PM Modi said that today India stands at a decisive juncture, the government, administration, industry and every citizen of the country will have to work by setting strict deadlines like journalists, only then the dream of a developed India by 2047 will be realized.
In his address, Prime Minister Modi attacked the delay in government work and development projects, saying that for decades, the trend of ‘chalta hai’ and postponing of projects has dominated the country, which has affected the country’s progress. He said in clear words that if an edition of a newspaper is to be published in the morning or a prime time show is to be telecast on a TV channel at 9 pm, then the entire team of journalists overcomes every hurdle and completes the work before time. It is in this spirit that now every ministry, every state government and every institution of India will have to set clear deadlines for their goals. He stressed that when the goals are clear and deadlines are fixed, efficiency increases manifold and results become visible on the ground faster.
Throwing light on the roadmap for the 100th year of independence i.e. 2047, PM Modi said that developed India is not just a government slogan but a collective resolution of 140 crore countrymen. He said that India has today become the fastest growing major economy in the world and is creating new records in the fields of digital public infrastructure, manufacturing and innovation. But to remain at the forefront of global competition, we will have to further accelerate our pace. PM Modi said that the next two decades are the most important period of India’s Amrit Kaal and in this, every citizen—be it a farmer, scientist, entrepreneur, teacher or journalist—will have to achieve excellence in his/her field with deadlines.
On this occasion, the Prime Minister also appreciated the role of Indian media as the fourth pillar of democracy and called for creative and solution-oriented journalism. He said that the media has played an important role in spreading awareness in making public movements like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Digital India and ‘Vocal for Local’ successful. PM Modi suggested that media organizations should not only highlight the shortcomings but also highlight the innovations, startups and inspiring stories of common citizens happening in every corner of the country, thereby infusing confidence and positive energy in the society.
Referring to the fast flow of information in the modern era, the Prime Minister said that along with speed, it is equally important to maintain accuracy and credibility – whether it is in the field of journalism or the implementation of public welfare schemes. He reiterated that today, with the laying of the foundation stone of any scheme in the Central Government, the date of its inauguration is also fixed. This statement of PM Modi is a clear indication that there is no scope for laxity at any level in the mission of making India a developed nation by 2047 and time bound functioning is going to be the biggest identity of the new India.
