PM Modi Emphasizing Self-Reliant India

Prime Minister Modi emphasized making India self-sufficient and urged Indians to contribute to global development.

India is celebrating its 75th anniversary of sovereignty from colonial domination. A new collaborative movement has emerged to save water. In a final remark at Rotary International Convention 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the movement is motivated by our age-old customs of water conservation combined with modern technologies.

Given that India is home to one-seventh of the world’s population, every achievement by India will have a favorable impact on the rest of the globe, he said. For example, PM Modi referenced the Covid-19 vaccine story and plans to eliminate tuberculosis by 2025, five years ahead of the worldwide objective of 2030.
