3 Years Of Modi Government LIVE: Here's What The Prime Minister, Others Did And Said Today
The Narendra Modi government completed 3 years today. Marking the third anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a number of infrastructure projects in Assam today, one of them being India's longest bridge - The Bhupen Hazarika Bridge. In 2014, Narendra Modi led the Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP to a massive victory in the general elections - known as the Lok Sabha elections, following which he was sworn-in as Prime Minister on May 26 that year.
PM Modi also laid the foundation stone of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute or IARI in Assam. Here are the highlights of his speech to the farmers in Assam:
I have come to lay a foundation stone for a project that will change the fate of rural life in India.
India is a country that benefits from all seasons - Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring and most importantly the Monsoon.
Time and technology don't wait for anyone, it is ever-changing and moves at a fast pace.
Farmers in India should reap the benefits of the progress being made
You have showed faith in us by letting us form the government in Assam. We assure you that we will fulfil the dream of doubling the income of farmers.
Our government has taken many important steps in the last three years. Though three years is not a lot of time for a big country like India, significant progress has been made.
One of the major initiative has been the soil health card for farmers.
The science of helping farmers was there always there. Scientists did not take birth after we came to power, but tokenism does not help the country develop. Before our government, there were 15 soil health card laboratories. Today there are over 9,000.
We have also fostered startups that will help the farm sector.
Indian farmers are immensely capable and talented. If they get the right guidance and get adequate water, our farmers can do wonders. Keeping that in mind, we have launched whole host of irrigation programmes.
Farmers have appreciated these schemes. They are now getting more money than ever from crop insurance.
Northeast has a great scope for organic farming. And there is a big market for organic farming worldwide.
Where regular produce sells for Re 1, organic produce sells for 1 dollar. Northeast can become a hub of organic farming.
We speak of the green revolution and aspire for another one. Our government is not just aiming for a second green revolution, but an 'evergreen revolution'.
We have a five-point-principle to improve connectivity to the north east - Highway, Railway, Waterway, Airway, and I-Way or information way.
Soon, NE will not just stand for Northeast, but also for New Economy, New Energy, New Empowerment, and New Engine. This new engine will take India forward.
