PM Modi’s address put out progress of 11 years: Shah

New Delhi: Union Home minister Amit Shah on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to the nation has given a broad outline of the progress

made by the country in the last 11 years, the strength of the present and the strategy for a prosperous India.

Shah also said that whether it is the elimination of terrorists through Operation Sindoor, the plan to secure the country’s infrastructure through ‘Mission Sudarshan Chakra’, or the resolve to create an infiltrator-free India through the ‘High-Powered Demography Mission’, the Modi government is committed to making the nation strong and secure.

Highlighting the government’s unwavering commitment to the interests of farmers, PM Modi, in his address to the nation from the ramparts of Red Fort on 79th Independence Day, called for self-reliance in nuclear energy, critical minerals, energy, the space sector, and jet engines.

“Moreover, the announcement of the ‘Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana’ and significant GST relief measures during the upcoming Diwali will make the lives of citizens easier and boost small enterprises,” Shah said.

Under ‘Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana’ with a fund of Rs 1 lakh crore, he said first-time employees in the private sector will receive Rs 15,000, and companies generating more jobs will also receive incentives.

This initiative will benefit approximately 3.5 crore people, providing a golden

opportunity for Indian youth and strengthening the journey toward a self-reliant India, Shah said.

The home minister said the Modi government is taking robust steps toward a self-reliant India by empowering small businesses.

“From the ramparts of the Red Fort, PM Modi announced Next Gen GST Reforms as a Diwali gift to the nation. These reforms will not only greatly benefit small industries but also make everyday essentials more affordable, giving a new impetus to the Indian economy,” he said.
