“Through Constitution Day, our aim is to imbue schools and colleges nationwide with the spirit of the Constitution. We want students to grasp the contributions of our nation’s eminent figures in its drafting, understand the rationale behind key decisions, and engage in thorough discussions. We promote essay contests, seminars, and widespread appreciation and understanding of our Constitution.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi this week emphasized that the fight against militancy in Jammu and Kashmir is approaching its final stages, citing a multi-pronged strategy aimed at dismantling the remaining militant networks.

Steadfast Approach Against Militancy In Jammu And Kashmir: He said the fight against militancy in Jammu and Kashmir is approaching its final stages, citing a multi-pronged strategy aimed at dismantling the remaining militant networks. Addressing the Rajya Sabha during the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address, PM Modi highlighted the historic voter turnout in the recent Lok Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir, suggesting it as a testament to the region’s commitment to democracy and constitutional values.

Democratic Values Upheld In Jammu And Kashmir: The Prime Minister said the recent Lok Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir are poised to set new voting records spanning four decades, ge said adding that this achievement underscores the steadfast dedication of the electorate towards upholding Bharat’s Constitution, democracy, and the Election Commission of India. “Our battle against militancy in Jammu and Kashmir is in its final phase. We are implementing a comprehensive strategy to dismantle the remnants of militancy.  “Over the past decade, militant incidents have significantly decreased, with rare occurrences of stone pelting in isolated areas. The support and guidance of the people of Jammu and Kashmir are instrumental in this crucial endeavor,” he added.

Gratitude To MPs: PM Modi also expressed gratitude to the MPs for their contributions during the discussions, noting the historical significance of the government’s third consecutive term and the return to power after a decade, a milestone in India’s democratic journey. “As India approaches the 75th year of our Constitution, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of this House, it marks a truly remarkable milestone,” he concluded.

Constitution Day In The Lok Sabha: PM Modi recalled, “I distinctly remember when our government proposed celebrating November 29th as Constitution Day in the Lok Sabha. It surprised me that those who frequently brandish copies of the Constitution opposed this idea, questioning the need for Constitution Day when January 26th already exists.” “Through Constitution Day, our aim is to imbue schools and colleges nationwide with the spirit of the Constitution. We want students to grasp the contributions of our nation’s eminent figures in its drafting, understand the rationale behind key decisions, and engage in thorough discussions. We promote essay contests, seminars, and widespread appreciation and understanding of our Constitution,” he said.

Confidence In Our Future Plans And Commitments: PM Modi said that this election is not just a recognition of our achievements over the past decade but also a vote of confidence in our future plans and commitments. The people of India have placed their trust in us, granting us the opportunity to fulfill our collective aspirations and dreams.”

Next 5 Years Battle Against Poverty: He said next five years will be a decisive battle against poverty. This period will witness the fight of the poor against poverty, and I believe that when the poor stand united and determined, their struggle will lead to success. Therefore, these five years will be crucial in the fight against poverty, and I am confident that our country will emerge victorious. This confidence is based on the experiences and achievements of the last ten years.

Third Largest Economy In The World: When the country becomes the third largest economy in the world, its benefits and impact will be felt in every sphere of life. Numerous opportunities for development and expansion will arise, and therefore when we become the third largest economy of the world, this achievement will positively influence every level of Bharat, creating an unprecedented impact on the global stage.

Rise Of Start-Ups: PM Modi said that we will be witnessing the global rise of new startups and companies in the near future. I foresee our tier-2 and tier-3 cities playing a significant role as growth engines in the country’s future. This century is technology-driven, and we will undoubtedly see new advancements in many sectors.

Rapid Changes In Public Transport: In the next five years, we anticipate rapid changes in public transport. We are committed to advancing in this direction so that crores of Indians can benefit as soon as possible. In Bharat’s development journey, our smaller cities will play a crucial role. Whether in sports, education, innovation, or patent registration, I clearly see thousands of these cities creating a new history of development in Bharat.

Focus On Farmers: PM Modi said over the last ten years, we have focused on making farming profitable and beneficial for farmers through various schemes. We have ensured that farmers have continuous access to loans for crops and new seeds. “We have arranged for fair prices and made crop insurance easily accessible by removing previous obstacles. We have broken all old records in MSP procurement, benefiting farmers greatly. From seed to market, we have made every effort to strengthen every system for farmers with meticulous planning, ensuring the system is foolproof.” He said during the past few years, it was almost impossible for small farmers to obtain a Kisan Credit Card or loan despite their numbers being on the higher side. Today, due to our policies and the expansion of the Kisan Credit Card, this has changed significantly. We have adopted a comprehensive approach to farming by extending the benefits of the Kisan Credit Card to livestock farmers and fishermen. This has not only strengthened the agricultural sector but also expanded its reach. We initiated the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Yojana, benefitting 10 crore farmers. Over the past six years, we have provided Rs 3 lakh crore to farmers under this scheme.

 

“Looking ahead, Modi outlined the next five years as pivotal in battling poverty and positioning India as the world’s third-largest economy, with a focus on agricultural reforms, public transport advancements, and inclusive development initiatives.”

 

World’s Largest Campaign For Food Grain Storage: We have achieved a record increase in Minimum Support Prices (MSP). Moreover, we have set new records in procurement. Previously, MSP announcements were merely symbolic, offering farmers little practical benefit as hardly any procurements were made. By procuring significantly more than before, we have aimed to empower farmers. PM Modi said over the past decade, we have provided 2.5 times more financial support to wheat and paddy farmers compared to the Congress government. In the upcoming five years, we aim not only to continue this incremental growth but also to address challenges in new areas.  “To achieve this, we have launched the world’s largest campaign for foodgrain storage, initiating work towards creating decentralized storage facilities numbering in the lakhs.  ‘Fruits and vegetables’ is one such area. We want the farmers to move in that direction and we are working towards a comprehensive infrastructure for its storage as well.

Motto of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’: Under the motto of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, we have continuously expanded our efforts to serve the nation. Providing a dignified life to all citizens has been our top priority. Those who were neglected for decades after independence are now not only taken care of but also respected by my government.  We are working on a mission-mode to understand and address the challenges faced by our Divyang brothers and sisters at micro level, developing systems to minimize their dependence on external assistance and enabling them to lead dignified lives.

Kashmir Horizon View: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Rajya Sabha, highlighting the near-conclusion of the fight against militancy in Jammu and Kashmir through a strategic approach. He emphasized the region’s commitment to democracy, evident in historic voter turnouts, and expressed gratitude for the support of the electorate and MPs. Looking ahead, Modi outlined the next five years as pivotal in battling poverty and positioning India as the world’s third-largest economy, with a focus on agricultural reforms, public transport advancements, and inclusive development initiatives.
