PM Modi Says Developed India Vision Is Achievable Before 2047, Urges Continuous Progress

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed confidence that India can achieve its vision of becoming a developed nation, citing the country’s progress across multiple sectors over the past 12 years.

Speaking at the Deepawali Milan Samaroh organised at the BJP headquarters, PM Modi said the centenary of Independence in 2047 should not be treated as a date until which the country must wait.

The gathering, hosted by BJP National President Nitin Nabin, included Union Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and JP Nadda.

Highlighting India’s achievements, PM Modi referred to Chandrayaan’s landing near the Moon’s south pole, the country’s position as the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer and its emergence as the third-largest startup ecosystem.

He also highlighted UPI’s global leadership in real-time digital payments and the construction of the Chenab railway bridge.

The Prime Minister recalled earlier infrastructure challenges and said people once viewed the construction of a four-lane road as a major achievement.

PM Modi compared previous governments’ promises to eradicate poverty with the current progress, saying more people now lift themselves out of poverty.

Drawing parallels with India’s freedom movement, he urged citizens to achieve smaller development targets rather than postpone progress until 2047.

The Prime Minister called upon media organisations to take India’s success stories to international audiences.

Referring to his monthly radio programme, Mann Ki Baat, he encouraged journalists to showcase achievements by ordinary citizens and contribute to national development.

He concluded his address by extending festive greetings for Diwali, Navratri and Chhath Puja.
