File photo: PM Modi (Picture credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called for for 'zero defect and zero effect' manufacturing for ' Make in India ', meaning flawless products with no environmental harm. Speaking at a public event in Bengaluru, PM Modi emphasised that India's economy has climbed from 10th place to the top five in the past 11 years, and urged the youth of Bengaluru and Karnataka to lead the 'Make in India' and ' Atmanirbhar Bharat ' initiatives. "We have to strengthen the presence of Bengaluru and Karnataka in 'Make in India'. I urge that our products should be of the standards of 'Zero Defect, Zero Effect'. That is, there should be defect-free products, and their manufacturing should also not have any negative impact on the environment. I expect that the talent of Karnataka will lead this vision of 'Aatmnirbhar Bharat'", the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said the next big focus should be a 'Tech Atmanirbhar Bharat,' pushing for innovation and self-reliance in technology. 'Now is the time to give more priority to the needs of India and move ahead faster in developing new products,' he said. He further said that India's economy is advancing at a rapid pace and is on course to become the world's third-largest and credited the progress to the government's 'reform, perform and transform' approach, clear intentions, and honest efforts. 'We are rapidly moving towards becoming the top third economy,' he said. 'This speed came to us from the spirit of reform, perform, and transform. This speed came to us from clear intention and honest efforts.' Highlighting infrastructure gains since 2014, the Prime Minister noted that metro services have expanded from just five cities to more than 1,000 km of network in 24 cities. Rail electrification has doubled from 20,000 km to over 40,000 km, airports have risen from 74 to over 160, and operational national waterways have increased from three to 30. Citing the recent success of Operation Sindoor , PM Modi credited the achievement to indigenous defence technology and the role of Karnataka's youth. 'The success of Operation Sindoor is due to our technology and the power of 'Make in India' in defence. The youth of Bengaluru and Karnataka have contributed a lot to this,' he said, adding that Bengaluru has become a symbol of the new India's rise. "We are seeing Bangalore emerging as a city that has become a symbol of the rise of the new India... A city that has put India's flag on the global IT map. If there is anything behind Bangalore's success story, it is the hard work and talent of its people," the Prime Minister said. This was PM Modi's first visit to the city since the operation, and he praised India's ability to destroy terrorist hideouts deep across the border, forcing Pakistan 'to its knees' within hours. Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister inaugurated Bengaluru Metro 's Yellow Line from RV Road (Ragigudda) to Bommasandra, part of the Rs 7,160 crore Phase-2 project. According to news agency ANI, the 19 km route with 16 stations will extend the city's metro network to over 96 km, benefiting more than six lakh daily commuters. PM Modi also laid the foundation stone for the Rs 15,610 crore Phase-3 project and flagged off three Vande Bharat Express trains, underlining the government's push for modern, world-class rail travel. However, his comments came amid escalating trade tensions with the United States. US President Donald Trump recently announced tariffs totalling 50% on Indian imports, accusing New Delhi of buying Russian oil and indirectly funding the Ukraine war.

He said Operation Sindoor demonstrated the strength of Aatmnirbhar Bharat and praised the armed forces for their trust in 'Make in India.' 'You have seen how Operation Sindoor has shown the power of Aatmnirbhar Bharat. Today, the world is discussing India's defence ecosystem. There is only one reason behind this. Our army's trust in Make in India. Every Indian has to repeat what the army has done…' he said. Addressing a public gathering in J-K's Reasi, PM Modi said, 'Remember, exactly one month ago, on the night of May 6, Pakistan saw its doomsday. Now, whenever Pakistan hears the name of Operation Sindoor, it will remember its shameful defeat. The Pakistani Army and terrorists had never thought that India would attack terrorists hundreds of kilometres inside Pakistan in such a way…' Reasi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that Pakistan 'saw its doomsday' on the night of May 6 during Operation Sindoor, a deep strike mission that he said left the Pakistan Army and terrorists stunned. He also urged the youth of Jammu and Kashmir to actively participate in Mission Manufacturing, announced in this year's budget. 'I want to ask the youth of Jammu and Kashmir to join this mission… Your ideas and skills will take India's economy and security to new heights,' he said. The Prime Minister also announced financial assistance for families affected by border shelling. He said houses fully damaged by cross-border shelling would receive Rs 2 lakh, while partially damaged houses would be given Rs 1 lakh. 'The suffering of more than 2000 families affected by shelling is also our own suffering… Now, those houses which have suffered heavy damage will be given Rs 2 lakh, and those partially damaged will receive Rs 1 lakh more,' he said. He also highlighted security and infrastructure in the border areas, saying that two border battalions have been formed for the Jammu and Kashmir division, the work for forming two women battalions has also been completed, and more than Rs 4,2000 crore is being spent to improve infrastructure along the international border. 'New infrastructure worth hundreds of crores is being developed in the conflict-prone areas near our international border,' the PM said. PM Modi also made a strong pitch for promoting indigenous products as an act of patriotism. 'We have to take another resolution: we have to prioritise goods made in India, created by the sweat of our countrymen. This is patriotism. This is service to the nation. We have to increase the honour of our Army on the border and increase the pride of Make in India in the marketplace,' he added. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated several key infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. These included the Chenab Railway Bridge, the world's highest railway arch bridge, and the Anji Bridge, India's first cable-stayed rail bridge.

New Delhi [India], June 8 (ANI): Highlighting the NDA government's efforts to redefine women-led development in the last 11 years, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that empowered women are the foundation of Aatmnirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). In a post on X, Shah wrote, 'Empowered women are the foundation of a self-reliant India. For the Modi government, nothing is more important than mother and motherland. In #11YearsOfSashaktNari , the Modi government has given a new boost to the spirits of women by making them self-reliant. From 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' to toilets, Ujjwala, ban on triple talaq, their dignity and 'Nari Shakti Vandan Act' and recruitment in armed forces are ensuring their historic participation in nation-building.' Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that various government initiatives are intended to empower the country's 'Nari Shakti.' In a post on X, PM Modi said that women are excelling and inspiring several people in all sectors, including science, education, sports, StartUps and the armed forces. 'Over the last 11 years, the NDA Government has redefined women-led development. Various initiatives, from ensuring dignity through Swachh Bharat to financial inclusion via Jan Dhan accounts, the focus has been on empowering our Nari Shakti,' PM Modi said. 'In all sectors, including science, education, sports, StartUps and the armed forces, women are excelling and inspiring several people,' the Prime Minister said. PM Modi highlighted the key schemes launched by his government, such as Ujjwala Yojana and the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme. 'Ujjwala Yojana brought smoke-free kitchens to several homes. MUDRA loans enabled lakhs of women entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams on their own terms. Houses under the women's name in the PM Awas Yojana too have made a remarkable impact. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao ignited a national movement to protect the girl child,' he said. (ANI)
