'Shielding Citizens, Fueling Dreams': PM Modi Outlines India's Resilience, Vision On 80th Independence Day

On India's 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation from the historic Red Fort, emphasizing national resilience and ambitious growth for the country's envisioned future. Over the last decade, the government effectively shielded citizens and farmers from global shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic and conflicts in West Asia.

Addressing unfounded rumors, PM Modi explained that strategic planning and reserves had kept fuel, food, and fertilizers readily available, even during crises. The administration prioritized protecting the public from financial burdens, supplying urea at a heavily subsidized price despite global price surges. Defence production has increased nearly fourfold, and other key sectors have experienced remarkable growth, with the PM asserting India's commitment to becoming a developed nation by 2047. Citizens were urged to dream big and work towards making those aspirations a reality.
