New Delhi, (thestates.news) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the government does not
discriminate between faith, gender, caste, creed or language and is guided by
the desire to empower the 130 crore Indians.
Addressing the 90th birth anniversary of Rev Dr Joseph Mar Thoma Metropolitan
through video-conferencing, PM Modi
said, ‘We are guided by the desire to empower 130 crore Indians and our guiding
light is the Constitution of India.’
He called for pondering on how actions can contribute to national development.
The PM said, ‘We have taken decisions not from comfortable government offices
in Delhi but after feedback from people on the ground.
‘It is this spirit that ensured every Indian has access to a bank account, over
eight crore families have access to smoke-free kitchens, over 1.5 crore houses
have been given to the homeless and India is also home to the largest
healthcare scheme in the world, Ayushman Bharat,’ he added.
In the last few weeks, the Prime Minister said the Government of India has
addressed both short-term and long-term issues relating to the economy. He said
that people-friendly and growth-friendly decisions have been taken in the
sectors from the sea to space, from the farms to the factories.
He hoped that the call for Atma-Nirbhar Bharat or self-reliant India, will
ensure economic strength and prosperity for every Indian.
He said, ‘Today, India is saying – we will produce locally and also buy local
products. This will light the lamp of prosperity in the homes of many’.
Speaking about the recently-introduced Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojana,
PM Modi said the scheme, with an
investment of over Rs 20,000 crore, is going to transform the fisheries sector,
increase export earnings and provide more employment to over 55 lakh people.
Better technology and infrastructure would ensure making value chains stronger,
