In a heartfelt address to the citizens of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflected on the remarkable journey of the nation over the past decade. He conveyed that the "Sankalp Patra" transcends mere pledges, encapsulating the collective aspirations and ambitions of the country.
"With your unwavering trust and support, our nation has undergone a profound metamorphosis in the last ten years. We have witnessed unparalleled progress and a shift in mindset," expressed the Prime Minister.
Highlighting the vision of a developed India by 2047, PM Modi affirmed the nation's confidence in achieving self-reliance (Aatmanirbhar). He contrasted the current atmosphere of optimism with the despair and stagnation of the pre-2014 era, characterized by corruption and policy paralysis.
"We have transitioned from being labeled in the 'Fragile Five' to emerging as one of the top 5 global economies," acknowledged the PM, underscoring the inclusive nature of this progress with the mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas."
PM Modi underscored the broad-based benefits of development, citing initiatives ranging from basic necessities like banking services and sanitation to cutting-edge technologies such as optic fiber connectivity and drones. He emphasized the transformative impact on marginalized communities, farmers, and small entrepreneurs through schemes like JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhar, and Mobile).
"Farmers, the backbone of our nation, have been empowered through various measures such as MSP hikes, increased procurement, and access to markets," stated the Prime Minister, highlighting the holistic approach towards agricultural reforms and renewable energy under schemes like PM-KUSUM.
The PM attributed India's progress to a dual focus on development and heritage ('Vikas' and 'Virasat'), setting new benchmarks in both economic growth and environmental conservation.
Addressing the pivotal role of youth, PM Modi lauded their contributions across sectors like space, sports, and startups, buoyed by a plethora of opportunities created in education, employment, and entrepreneurship.
Looking ahead to the next phase of growth, PM Modi unveiled ambitious plans to propel India into the top three global economies, eradicate poverty, foster sectoral growth, combat corruption, and implement pro-people reforms.
"Our Sankalp Patra is a testament to our collective vision for the nation. It represents the aspirations and goals of every Indian," stressed PM Modi, concluding with a pledge to tirelessly work towards realizing the dreams and aspirations of every citizen, thereby forging a legacy of pride for future generations.
