India, fastest-growing major economy, a key global voice on climate, digital innovation: PM Modi

India Gazettea day ago

New Delhi [India], June 9 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday highlighted India's rapid transformation across sectors, driven by the NDA Government's focus on good governance and inclusive growth.
PM Modi credited the progress to the collective participation of 140 crore Indians and emphasised India's rise as the fastest-growing major economy and a global leader in climate action and digital innovation.
In a post on X, PM Modi emphasised the NDA Government's clear focus on good governance and transformation.
'A clear focus on good governance and transformation! Powered by the blessings and collective participation of 140 crore Indians, India has witnessed rapid transformations across diverse sectors. Guided by the principle of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas', the NDA Government has delivered speed, scale and sensitivity pathbreaking changes. From economic growth to social upliftment, the focus has been on people-centric, inclusive and all-around progress,' PM said on X.
PM Modi said India is the fastest-growing major economy and a key player in global climate action and digital innovation.
The post added, 'India today is not just the fastest-growing major economy, but also a key global voice on pressing issues like climate action and digital innovation. We are proud of our collective success but at the same time, we look ahead with hope, confidence and a renewed resolve to build a Viksit Bharat!.'
Recently, the Union government released an e-book highlighting its achievements across various sectors over the last 11 years. The year 2025 marks 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. The book said that these 11 years have been dedicated to bringing about development that is inclusive, progressive, and sustainable.
'The government under Prime Minister Modi has been steadfast in its commitment to creating equity and opportunity for all citizens,' it added.'PM Modi has brought the politics of development - Vikasvaad - into the mainstream, making it the focal point around which political discourse and policy action now revolve,' it reads.
The book said that since assuming office in 2014, PM Modi has remained firm in his resolve to keep 'India First' in every policy formulation and action. It added that the resolve is evident in the government's handling of both external and internal security, economic management, empowerment schemes for marginalised groups, efforts at cultural conservation and so on.
Earlier, it was reported that in a matter of just less than three years, India has taken another stride, pipping Japan to become the fourth-largest economic powerhouse. In September 2022, India had surpassed the UK to become the fifth-largest economy.
Addressing a press conference of the 10th NITI Aayog Governing Council Meeting on 'Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat 2047', NITI Aayog Chief Executive Officer (CEO) BVR Subrahmanyam said that India has overtaken Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy. This is a proud moment for the country and India's position would strengthen further in the coming years, on the back of prospects of higher economic growth.
Citing data from the International Monetary Fund, the CEO of India's apex think tank stated that India's economy has reached the USD 4 trillion mark.' We are the fourth largest economy as I speak. We are a USD 4 trillion economy, and this is not my data; this is IMF data. India today is larger than Japan. It's only the United States, China, and Germany which are larger, and if we stick to, you know, what is being planned, what is being thought through, it's a matter of another 2.0-2.5 to 3 years; we would become the third largest economy,' said BVR Subrahmanyam.
According to the IMF's April edition of the World Economic Outlook report, India's nominal GDP for fiscal 2026 is expected to reach around USD 4.187 trillion. This is marginally more than Japan's likely GDP, which is estimated at USD 4.186 billion.
The international financial institution projects that India will remain the fastest-growing major economy over the next two years. India's economy is expected to grow by 6.2 per cent in 2025 and 6.3 per cent in 2026, maintaining a solid lead over global and regional peers, the April 2025 edition of the IMF's World Economic Outlook had said.
India is among the fastest-growing major economies and is projected to remain so over the next few years, as many global agencies have anticipated. Even as India has overtaken Japan in terms of the size of the economy, the per capita income in India remains very low. (ANI)

Young horticulture graduates told to update their skills

Director-General of the International Crop Research Institute of Semi-Arid Tropics, Hyderabad, Himanshu Pathak has urged young horticulture graduates to update their skills to face new challenges in farm sciences. 'As graduates who are ready to enter a world of opportunities remember that horticulture today goes beyond agriculture. It includes data science, artificial intelligence, climate resilience, food innovation and sustainable ecosystems. Whether your path is in research, agribusiness, urban agriculture or conservation, the skills you acquire here will serve you well. However, you should stay updated, learn new skills, acquaint yourselves with emerging fields and be ready to face new challenges,' he said in Bagalkot on Tuesday. He was delivering the convocation address at the University of Horticultural Sciences. 'As you know well, over 50% of the country's population is dependent on agriculture. There are vast opportunities in horticulture which farmers should utilise to improve their economic status. Horticulture can help them tide over the economic crisis they face. Horticulture can thus contribute to the overall economic growth of the country,' he said. 'Students should use their knowledge not only for personal success but also to uplift farmers, strengthen food systems and nourish and protect the environment,' he said. 'By 2025, horticulture crops in Karnataka are expected to be grown in 2.68 million hectares. This reflects a steady growth trend. Districts like Dharwad, Belagavi, Kolar, Vijayapura and Chikkamagaluru are known for mangoes, grapes, spices and vegetables. The Union and State governments have introduced several schemes for facilitating horticulture crops like the Integrated Horticulture Development Plan 2.0 and schemes by Mango Development Board. Farmers will also be given assistance in branding, marketing and export promotion,' he said. Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot said that horticulture crops not only improve the lives of rural people but also help boost the development of the country. 'Farmers can become economically strong in horticulture and agriculture with new technology and value addition,' he said. He said that it was a welcome sign to see women dominating the field of horticulture and agriculture. The Governor gave away medals and certificates to students. As many as 95 gold medals were awarded to 35 students. Students were given 508 (Hons), (Food Technology), 144 Horticulture degrees and 42 in nine departments during the 14th convocation of the university. Vice-Chancellor Vishnu Vardhan, Registrar Mahadev Muragi, MLC Hanumant Nirani, MLA Bhimsen Chimmankatti and members of the governing body were present along with students and parents.

PM Modi helm ushers unprecedented growth, says Punjab BJP chief

Chandigarh: The 11-year governance of the BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ushered in a period of unprecedented growth in the country. India has become the fourth-largest economy in the world, Punjab unit party President Sunil Jakhar said on Tuesday. Lauding the phenomenal growth rate of the country, he told the media here that 'our nation has crossed even Japan in term of growth'. 'This is no coincidence but absolute commitment to work on policies, principles and prioritise to ensure that decisions which usher in change for the country were taken in the past 11 years.' While recalling various achievements of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) rule, Jakhar said it was a great achievement that 81 crore people were being given free rations, 55 crore had been given health insurance advantages, four crore houses for the disadvantaged were built, 50 crore households were provided drinking water facilities and crores of toilet's have been built across the nation. Jakhar reasoned that India's 6.5 GDP has led to industrial growth which has translated into employment for the people. 'The infrastructure of the nation, be it the extensive construction of highways or bridges, has changed the entire landscape of the country, ushering in progress and prosperity. A voluminous 55,000 km of highways and expressways is a phenomenal achievement.' Hailing the vision of Prime Minister Modi, the Punjab BJP chief said in 2014 there were only eight AIIMS in the country. 'Today we have 24, three times more in 11 years. In Punjab, we have an AIIMS Bathinda, which is a huge medical facility and soon more hospitals of this level will be established in other towns in the state.' Jakhar emphasised that women rights and equality were a keen concern of the BJP and the women reservation Bill to be passed. 'The social fabric of the country has become more progressive with equality and distribution of wealth and opportunity for all is a reality. The ease-of-living and ease-of-doing business has improved the lives of millions. The substantial increase in MSP (minimum support price) has led to increased income in Punjab as we are primarily an agricultural economy. The food grain purchase in the state this year was Rs 68,771 crore till date, while in 2014 it was Rs 32,211 crore,' he explained. Answering a media query about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi that 11 years have not seen any progress, Jakhar said: 'The 6.5 growth rate, the fourth-largest economy in the world, the development in the infrastructure, women empowerment, passing of significant Bills are all to see but unfortunately, if someone wants to have a myopic view then it is lamentable.'
