What did PM say in his 2013 Lalkar Rally?
In a rallying cry at Lalgarh in December 2013, PM Modi passionately advocated for the establishment of premier educational institutions like IITs and IIMs in Jammu and Kashmir. He fervently questioned, “Shouldn’t there be IITs and IIMs in Jammu? Can’t the youth of this place study and become world-famous?”
Expressing disappointment with the lack of focus on educational development in the region, PM Modi lamented, “Neither the Jammu and Kashmir Government nor the Central Government is involved in the development of educational institutions in Jammu and Kashmir!”
Emphasizing the potential of the youth in Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi urged them to aspire to higher education opportunities. Today, his vision stands realized as he inaugurates the permanent campus of IIM Jammu, fulfilling his promise to provide world-class educational infrastructure in the region
PM Modi on viksit Jammu
“We have taken a ‘sanklap’ of ‘Viksit Jammu and Kashmir’. I have full faith in you and I know that we will make Jammu and Kashmir ‘viksit’. Your dreams remained unfulfilled for the past 70 years. However, Modi will fulfill your dreams in the next few years,” PM Modi said.
He added, “Jammu and Kashmir had to bear the brunt of dynastic politics for decades. They are only concerned about their families, not about your interests, your families. I am happy that Jammu and Kashmir is getting freedom from this dynastic politics.”
He also said, “a developed India means a developed Jammu and Kashmir. A record number of schools, colleges, and universities established in India in the last 10 years; in JK alone, 50 new degree colleges set up.”
