Leverage your manufacturing strengths and draw investments: PM Modi to states

PM Modi urges states to leverage manufacturing strengths, drive investments, and accelerate India's growth towards 2047 development vision

"If the Centre and all the States come together and work together like Team India, no goal is impossible - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, May 24

India has changed significantly over the last decade, our economy has grown and 25 crore people have been freed from poverty, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday.

PM Modi, who participated in the 10th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog at Bharat Mandapam here, urged the states to leverage their manufacturing strengths and draw investments.

“This offers an unparalleled opportunity to add further momentum to our growth trajectory,” said the Prime Minister in a series of posts on X social media platform.

Chief ministers, Governors and LGs from various states took part in the meeting. The theme was ‘Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat@2047.’

“We had a fruitful exchange of perspectives on how to achieve this goal,” said PM Modi.

The Prime Minister informed that education and skilling also featured prominently in the discussions.

“The National Education Policy has stressed greatly on this too. Also talked about ways to improve our urban centres considering rapid urbanisation is the reality of our times,” he noted.

The PM further added that farmer welfare will always be a priority for us.

“Discussed ways to further modernise the sector and ensure better prosperity for our hardworking farmers. Also emphasised on leveraging the power of science and technology to develop the sector and improve soil health,” said PM Modi.

According to him, India must work towards developing future-ready cities. "India is getting rapidly urbanised. We should work towards future-ready cities. Growth, innovation, and sustainability should be the engine for the development of our cities," said PM Modi at the event.

"We have to increase the speed of development. If the Centre and all the States come together and work together like Team India, no goal is impossible," he added.

The meeting provided a platform for the Centre and States/UTs to deliberate on measures to advance the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047 and build consensus on how states can be the building blocks for making India a developed nation.

PM Modi's focus on manufacturing is spot on! We need to become the factory of the world like China did. States like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat are already showing the way. Hope other states follow suit. 🇮🇳

While the vision is good, implementation at state level remains patchy. Some states lack basic infrastructure to attract big investments. Centre should provide more support to backward states.

Farmer welfare must include MSP reforms and better cold storage facilities. Manufacturing growth is important but can't forget our annadata. Jai Kisan! 🚜

Urban planning is crucial! Our cities are bursting at seams. Need smart cities with proper waste management and public transport. Hope states take this seriously.

Team India approach sounds good but some states play politics with development projects. Hope all CMs put nation first. Make in India can create millions of jobs if done right.

Skilling youth is the need of the hour! So many graduates but not job-ready. NEP is good but implementation in villages is slow. Need more ITIs and vocational training centers.
