As we gather here on a happy note, when you will receive the appointment letters, it must be remembered that we have a great responsibility towards our future generations to build a nation of potentialities, of responsible growth, sustained development so that by 2047, India becomes a completely developed country. As you work in various capacities in different organisations, you must not lose sight of the ultimate goal of Amrit Kaal – another inspiring vision shared by PM modi ji -which is to make India an Atmanirbhar country and a truly developed country by 2047”.
“I thank our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for setting up some ambitious projects – some may be ahead of the curve – but with considerable sway over the ultimate goal of an Atmanirbhar Bharat by the end of Amrit Kaal. Let us all strive hard, committed to attain this goal set by Modi ji and make India a truly atmanirbhar country,” he added.
