Last year, from the very same Red Fort, Prime Minister Modi articulated his vision for India’s future. His call for a developed India by 2047, the eradication of colonial vestiges, embracing cultural heritage, fostering unity, and citizens embracing the values of integrity and duty, collectively known as “Panch Prana,” resonated deeply with the citizens. This year’s address is anticipated to carry even greater significance as it marks the last time Prime Minister Modi will address the nation from this historic site before the impending 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Highlighting the significant role of women in the nation’s progress, Prime Minister Modi declared, “Women-led development is the pathway to a prosperous nation.” The accomplishments of Indian women, from pioneering pilots in civil aviation to leading scientific endeavors like the Chandrayaan mission, have garnered international recognition. Prime Minister Modi pledged to further empower women through self-help groups and technology advancements.

In a resonant message to the nation’s youth on the occasion of Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured that opportunities abound in the country, awaiting their innovative prowess. Underscoring the boundless potential within India’s reach, he emphasized that the nation is poised to offer as many opportunities as the youth aspire for.
Addressing the trajectory towards a tech-driven world, Prime Minister Modi projected India’s pivotal role in shaping the forthcoming technological era. He remarked, “Today, as the world surges forward on the tide of technology, India’s significance is set to grow. Technology’s realm extends beyond the metropolis; our youth in smaller towns are scripting their own histories. Their enthusiasm, aspirations, and creativity rival any. They forge new apps, devise inventive solutions, and fashion novel devices.”
Reflecting on his interactions at the G20 summit in Bali, he reminisced, “I spoke to global leaders, and our discussions often veered towards technology. I impressed upon them that the innovation isn’t confined to major cities. The spirit of our small-town youth is awe-inspiring.

He applauded the remarkable feats achieved by underprivileged children, remarking, “Even slum-dwelling children are achieving marvels in the realm of sports.”
Prime Minister Modi celebrated the remarkable achievements of young minds across the country, revealing, “In 100 schools, children are crafting satellites, ready to launch them into the sky. I want our nation’s youth to understand that the opportunities before them are immeasurable; India’s potential to offer avenues for growth surpasses even the most ambitious desires.”
