So that I can fulfill the dreams of the country. Now we have to focus on designing India for the world, now Indian standards should become international standards. We can give a lot to the world in the field of design.
New Education Policy: The mother tongue got a boost with the introduction of the new education policy in the education system. Language should not come in the way of talent. Mother tongue has to be given importance in life. The way the world is changing today, the importance of skill has increased now.
Judicial Code: We have abolished more than 1500 laws. We have abolished the laws that sent people to jail for minor mistakes. Today we talk proudly about the legacy of independence. We have abolished the old criminal laws that were in place for centuries. We focused on justice, not punishment.
Aatmanirbhar Bharat: In the defense sector, we had become accustomed to not knowing where the budget money goes, we used to import from abroad. Today we have become self-reliant in this. Today we have become a hub of defense manufacturing. We are exporting weapons to the world.
Banking sector: When we reformed the banking sector, our banks made their place among the strong banks of the world. If the banking sector is strong, then development also takes place. Our youth need loans for studies and to go abroad. Farmers need loans, even street vendors are taking loans and becoming partners in development.
Agriculture reforming: We are helping farmers, giving them easy loans, giving them technology. We are working in the direction that they get end to end holding. Today, the farmers of our country can create a food basket that produces organic food for the world.
Modi said- We will fulfill the resolution of developed India by 2047

We can achieve the resolution of developed India by 2047.
