Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently emphasized that India is advancing swiftly amid rapidly shifting global systems. Speaking at a key event, he said the core principle of governance is to make public services more capable and efficient for citizens. Modi highlighted India’s impressive growth story. The economy is projected to hit $5 trillion by 2027, up from $3.9 trillion in 2025, according to IMF estimates. This positions India as the world’s fastest-growing major economy at 6.8% GDP growth in FY26. “In a world of uncertainty, India is a pillar of stability,” Modi stated, pointing to digital reforms like UPI, which processed over 16 billion transactions worth ₹25 lakh crore in March 2026 alone—making payments faster and cheaper globally.
He stressed empowering public services through technology. Initiatives like Ayushman Bharat have provided health coverage to 60 crore people, reducing out-of-pocket expenses by 50%. PM-JANMAN has connected remote tribal areas with roads and electricity, benefiting 2.5 crore citizens. “Our governance focuses on ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’—development for all,” Modi added.
Modi also noted India’s global leadership in renewables, targeting 500 GW capacity by 2030, with 200 GW already installed. Amid geopolitical tensions, India’s exports hit $450 billion in FY25, boosting jobs for 10 crore youth.
