NEW DELHI: Union minister
Amit Shah
on Monday underscored the Modi government's vision of building a Viksit Bharat by 2047, outlining a five-point national resolve to guide India's progress in the coming decades.
The five resolutions, as articulated by Shah, include achieving the goal of a fully developed India, fostering unity and solidarity across all sections of society, taking pride in India's cultural heritage, eradicating all remnants of colonial mindset in governance, culture, and institutions, and ensuring that every citizen contributes proactively to nation-building.
Speaking at the 63rd Foundation Day celebrations of Bharat Vikas Parishad, Shah said that "erasing the remnants of a colonial mindset and instilling a strong sense of duty among citizens" will be central to realising India's aspirations as it approaches 100 years of independence.
Shah also highlighted major steps taken by the Modi government over the last 11 years, saying they had brought about "transformational changes in governance, security, and development." Among the initiatives he cited were opening over 55 crore bank accounts for families without access to financial services, providing clean drinking water to 15 crore households, building 12 crore toilets, distributing 10 crore LPG connections, and giving 4 crore houses to the poor.

On internal security, Shah pointed to abrogation of Article 370 as a landmark decision that integrated J&K and curbed terrorism. He emphasised the government's efforts in North-East, including Bodo Accord, Bru-Reang pact, and resolution of border disputes in Assam & Meghalaya, which he said had significantly reduced insurgency-related violence.
"PM Modi has set before the country a vision that combines development with heritage. Today, India is on track to becoming a $30 trillion economy over next few decades, but this prosperity must reach every citizen."
