Reflections

In 10 years of UPA, investment in urban space was only 1.57 lakh cr but in 7 years of NDA that investment has risen to more than 12 lakh cr. That is the reality that has won the trust of the people.

Modi Government ensures that poor are not short changed by empty slogans like 'Garibi hatao'. It is ruthlessly eliminating middlemen & inefficiencies of an entitled & entrenched system. It is replaced with transparency -DBTs, use of Aadhaar, satellite monitoring & now drones.

A milestone moment for India. 200 cr doses of life & livelihood, 200 cr doses of hope & happiness. More than the population of many countries put together & even continents. PM Modi Ji's vision helps India lead the global fight against Covid.

The launch of 166 CNG stations across the country is a key step in expanding the availability of environment-friendly CNG to the transport sector, households, and industries in India. It'll incentivize the market for CNG vehicles and will have an exponential impact on manufacturing, skill development, and employment generation.

The inauguration of 166 CNG stations of 10 different CGD entities in 41 geographical areas across 14 states with an investment of Rs 400 crores will generate 1000 direct employment opportunities and incentivise the market for CNG vehicles.

The Energy demand in India has grown by more than 60% since the year 2000. We have focused on promoting the usage of Natural Gas as a fuel feedstock across the country to increase the share of the primary energy mix from the current 6.3% to 15% by 2030 and move towards a gas-based economy.

Ujjwala is a great success! We had 14 crore gas connections in 2014 and today we have over 30 crore gas connections including 9 crore Ujjwala connections and now we are transitioning to the Solar Cooker!

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will succeed, including on energy, because India will succeed. And India needs to succeed for the SDGs to move forward.

The surge in energy prices poses significant near-term risks to global inflation and, if sustained, could also weigh on growth in energy-importing countries.

Swachhata and governance reforms will shape Modi's legacy.

With data-driven governance, cities are now embracing transparency, responsiveness, inclusion and sustainability in their day-to-day functioning. These foundations will help India steer a path towards well planned urbanization thereby improving quality of life and driving economic growth.

The set of buildings that we now refer to as Central Vista were conceptualized sometime around 1910. The building now was never designed to be Parliament. It was designed to be a council house of a colonial power.
