Profits earned through ethical means create wealth for nation: FM
Pandit Upadhyaya was one of the founding members of Jan Sangh from which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged in April 1980. 'Wealth creation in India has never been a taboo in India. We promoted wealth creation. We would want wealth creation. That is why entrepreneurs in India, under Prime Minister Modi, we refer them as wealth creators. They are not thieves,' she said while addressing the National Commemorative Seminar on 60 years of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Integral Humanism Lectures. New Delhi, May 31 (PTI) Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said the government led by Narendra Modi refers entrepreneurs as wealth creators as the profit earned by them through ethical ways help drive development goals. 'We would like to have profit created by genuine ethical practices, and that is what is going to create wealth for the nation. And once you have wealth, you give dignity of labor, you provide for education, you provide for skilling, and you lift the tempo and the spirit of the nation,' she said. Recalling Deendayal Upadhyaya's idea for India, Sitharaman said that while planning, we must keep in mind the person at the very bottom of the system so that he can be uplifted keeping his dignity intact. 'Whether it was former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji or whether it is the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, every government policy under these two eminent leaders has been very reflective of Integral Humanism,' she said. 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayaas' is exactly what you do when you believe in Antyodaya theory propagated by Upadhyaya, she said. 'If you lift everyone out of poverty, give them employment, give them a certain standard of living and give them access to fundamental basic necessities, as a result, they are above where they were before, and they have greater access to the country's productive capacities. Then, the country's production levels also increase,' she said. Providing for national defence was one of the main priorities for a nation as per Upadhyay, she said, adding since 2014, Prime Minister Modi has been emphasising on Aatmanirbharta in defence production. 'That's what we have done and it's the reason Operation Sindoor was carried out. It was completely opposite to a government which said that it didn't have the money to spend for defence procurement,' she said. PTI DP DRR This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

'Refer to entrepreneurs in India as wealth creators': FM Nirmala Sitharman
Nirmala Sitharman NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said that the government recognises entrepreneurs as wealth creators whose ethically earned profits contribute to developmental objectives. 'Wealth creation in India has never been a taboo in India. We promoted wealth creation. We would want wealth creation. That is why entrepreneurs in India, under Prime Minister Modi, we refer them as wealth creators. They are not thieves,' she said at the National Commemorative Seminar marking 60 years of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya's Integral Humanism Lectures. Pandit Upadhyaya, a key figure in founding the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, played a significant role in the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in April 1980. Sitharaman said ethical profit-making leads to national wealth creation, which in turn supports dignified labour, education, skill development, and overall national progress. Highlighting Upadhyaya's philosophy, she said planning must focus on uplifting those at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder while preserving their dignity. She added that the principles of Integral Humanism have been reflected in policies under both former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and current Prime Minister Narendra Modi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Где два мира сливаются воедино SAUDI Забронировать Undo ''Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayaas' aligns with Upadhyaya's Antyodaya theory,' Sitharaman stated. She further explained that efforts to alleviate poverty, provide employment, and ensure basic necessities help unlock people's productive potential, thereby enhancing the nation's overall production. Sitharaman also noted that national defence was a priority for Upadhyaya. Since 2014, she said, Prime Minister Modi has prioritised Aatmanirbharta (self-reliance) in defence manufacturing. She referred to Operation Sindoor as an example of this shift, contrasting it with previous governments that, she said, often cited a lack of funds as a reason for limited defence procurement.

PM Modi wishes Nitin Gadkari on his 68th birthday
New Delhi [India], May 27 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday extended birthday wishes to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on the occasion of his 68th birthday. 'Birthday wishes to Union Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari Ji, who is making notable contributions towards upgrading critical infrastructure in India. May he be blessed with a long and healthy life,' PM Modi said in a post on X. Gadkari responded with gratitude, thanking the Prime Minister for his wishes. 'Hon'ble Narendra Bhai, heartfelt thanks for your warm wishes. Your steadfast leadership remains a constant source of inspiration as I continue to work with unwavering dedication towards India's growth and progress,' Gadkari posted on X. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also extended his greetings to the senior BJP leader. 'Warm wishes to Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Shri @nitin_gadkariji on his birthday. Known for his innovative thinking and result-oriented approach, he has played a vital role in strengthening India's infrastructure and driving progress on the ground. Wishing him good health and continued success in his service to the nation,' Rajnath Singh posted on X. Nitin Gadkari was born on May 27, 1957, into a Maharashtrian family with agricultural roots in the orange city of Nagpur, according to the website He imbibed and consistently practiced his mother's kind-hearted and philanthropic nature of helping the needy, even if it strained their modest resources. By the mid-seventies, the optimism of the early years of Independence had been replaced by disillusionment. Disenchantment was growing among various sections of society. The imposition of the Emergency in 1975 only intensified the angst of a betrayed populace. The extent of excesses carried out by the government at the time shook Gadkari out of his comfort zone. As a student, he aggressively campaigned against the Emergency, said the website. Gadkari became closely associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), and took to social work in a major way. He was particularly inspired by RSS founder K.B Hedgewar's ideals of humanity and nation-building. Further, according to the website, the Emergency, in many ways, was a turning point in Gadkari's life. His active participation in politics began during those days and continues to this day. While remaining active in student politics, Gadkari completed his post-graduation in Commerce, studied Law, and obtained a Diploma in Business Management. As a true practioner of Antyodaya with proven track record, Gadkari launched and promoted several projects for the welfare of landless labour, small and marginal farmers, tribals in left wing affected areas, in the field of education, healthcare, water conservation, agriculture, including opening of Ekal Vidyalayas, one teacher schools in the tribal districts of Vidarbha, and organised more than 1500 heart operations, transplant of artificial limbs for differently able people, sickal cell eradication programme, and encouraged tribal and rural handicrafts, bamboo craft, organic farming and bio-fuel, according to the website.

Sankhali (Goa) [India], May 17 (ANI): Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Saturday attended the 'Atal Asra Yojana' programme and announced financial assistance of Rs 1.5 lakh for economically weaker sections to carry out home repairs. The scheme, run by the Social Welfare Department, aims to benefit thousands of families across the state ahead of the monsoon season. Speaking to ANI at the event, CM Sawant said, 'Today is a memorable day. One house changed my mind. It was every dream of mine to go home.' The Atal Asra Yojana targets families with annual incomes below Rs 3 lakh, offering Rs 1.5 lakh per household for urgent home repairs. The amount will be transferred in two equal instalments of Rs 75,000 each. 'We have organised a camp for the Atal Asra scheme across Goa under the leadership of Subhash Phaldesai. At least eight to ten thousand people will benefit from this camp,' the Chief Minister said. Appreciating the department's efforts, he added, 'I congratulate Subhash Phaldesai and his entire department, who organised this camp to deposit Rs 1.5 lakh in their account before the rain for those who needed Antyodaya elements.' Highlighting the scheme's timely benefit, CM Sawant said, 'Those who need Rs 1.5 lakh to repair their house and were without money, the amount will be deposited in their account in fifteen days and they will have this money to repair their homes.' He called the initiative a success of the 'double engine' BJP government, committed to serving the most underprivileged sections of society. He also announced that the outreach would continue through the 'Sarkar Tumchya Daari' (Government at Your Doorstep) programme after the monsoon. 'We will once again organise this government at your doorstep. Every such program by the Social Welfare Swayampurna Mitra, Swayampurna Goa program for the disabled, organises it,' he said. Emphasising the government's inclusive approach, CM Sawant added, 'We desire to provide disabled equipment for every disabled person in Goa. We are providing it, so I congratulate my department very much. There will not be a single disabled person in Goa for whom we are not providing the necessary equipment.' (ANI)
