Speaking at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre (JECC), PM Modi said that every investor in the world is “excited about India.”
“The development that India has achieved through the Mantra of – Reform, Perform and Transform, can be seen in every sector,” he added.
Calling this century ‘tech and data-driven’, the Prime Minister noted that the country is showing the real power of democracy, demography and data to the world.
“India has shown how the democratisation of digital technology can benefit all sectors and sections of society. India’s UPI, DBT scheme… and many such platforms show the strength of digital infrastructure,” he said.
Highlighting the progress of Rajasthan under the BJP government, PM Modi said, “The priorities of the governments after independence was neither development nor heritage – Rajasthan has suffered a huge loss due to that. But today, our government is working on the mantra of ‘Vikas bhi, Virasat bhi’… Rajasthan is rising but also reliable. Rajasthan is receptive and also known for refining it with time… One more aspect has been added to Rajasthan’s ‘R’ factor. The people of the state have formed the BJP’s responsive and reformist government with a huge majority.”
Rajasthan is the largest state by area in India and has “unlimited potential for development and investment,” said Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma.
“To fulfil the dream of Prime Minister Modi of having ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047, we are taking every step to double the economy of the state in five years, this Summit is an important step in this regard,” he added.
At the event, the Rajasthan Chief Minister also felicitated PM Modi.
