The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that in a world plagued by challenges and uncertainties, the nation stands tall in a league of its own. Talking about India’s role on the global stage, the Prime Minister said that India currently stands as the model of high growth and low inflation for the world. Addressing an event in New Delhi Yesterday, Mr Modi highlighted that the 8 per cent GDP growth rate during the 2nd Quarter of the current financial year is a reflection of the country’s rising progress. He added that at a time when people are talking about economic slowdown, India is etching its growth story.

Mr Modi further said that for transforming tomorrow, change is firmly rooted in the strong foundation being built today. He mentioned that India’s potential has long been untapped but conventionally underdeveloped sectors like the North-east, villages, tier-2 and 3 cities, women and youth, blue economy and space sector are now realising their full potential.
