India remains strong despite global economic turbulence: PM Modi
Daman, June 5
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India's ability to withstand global economic and geopolitical challenges was the result of the collective efforts of 140 crore citizens.
Addressing the public gathering in Daman after launching developmental projects, PM Modi noted that many countries continued to face uncertainty amid ongoing international crises.
"We all know that the world is facing crises. Economies across the globe are struggling under uncertainty," he said.
The Prime Minister said global challenges had affected growth prospects and created instability in many regions, but argued that India had demonstrated resilience despite these conditions.
"Even during these difficult times, the collective efforts of 140 crore Indians are not only helping India remain resilient but are also enabling it to stay ahead," he said.
PM Modi linked the country's economic performance to public participation, describing citizens as partners in national development.
He said India's growth, infrastructure expansion, and social welfare programmes had strengthened the country's ability to navigate international uncertainty.
The Prime Minister described the achievement as evidence of the country's growing confidence and capacity. "I congratulate all countrymen on this new economic milestone," he said.
PM Modi added that India would continue pursuing reforms while adapting to evolving global circumstances.
"I assure the nation once again that India will continue to move forward rapidly on the path of Reform, Perform and Transform while successfully confronting global challenges," he said.
The Prime Minister's remarks came shortly after he highlighted economic data showing India's growth rate at 7.7 per cent for the financial year 2025-26.
He argued that the country's resilience was rooted in both policy decisions and public participation, saying national progress depended on the efforts of citizens across sectors and regions.
According to PM Modi, India's experience demonstrated that sustained development was possible even during periods of international uncertainty, provided governments and citizens worked together towards common goals.

Happy to see our economy doing well, but I hope this growth translates into more jobs for our youth. Many of my friends are still struggling to find stable employment despite having good degrees. Infrastructure is great, but we need inclusive growth too.
PM Modi's 'Reform, Perform, Transform' mantra is working on the ground. Just last week, I saw a new highway being built near my village in Gujarat. Our country is truly moving forward, and even global agencies are acknowledging India's resilience. Well said, PM!
As someone living in the US, I can see the contrast. While many countries are struggling with inflation and recession, India's growth story is genuinely impressive. The PM's focus on public participation is smart - when people feel ownership, they contribute more to national development.
Bahut accha hai ki PM Modi is acknowledging the role of common citizens. But I wish the government would focus more on controlling inflation. Sabzi aur dhood ke daam abhi bhi bahut zyada hain. Growth numbers are good, but household budgets need relief too. 🥦🥛
I work in a small business in Pune, and I can see the positive impact of government schemes. Digital payments, GST simplification, and infrastructure projects have made our operations smoother. But the real test will be sustaining this growth for another decade. Let's keep working hard!
