External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Wednesday that in the country’s journey to Viksit Bharat @2047, no citizen will be left behind.
“While understanding that everybody cannot move at the same pace, we all have to firm up to move forward. It is also important to create a social welfare system," the Minister said while speaking at an interactive session on Viksit Bharat @2047 organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce here.
Appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his policy choices, Jaishankar said his strong leadership and good judgment have steered India through many crises besides transforming the economy in the last 10 years.
He also pointed out that the government’s response in handling the Covid pandemic, the China crisis, and India’s stance on Russia and Ukraine were in the best interest of India and its citizens.
“As a nation, we must grow for today and leapfrog for tomorrow to realise our goals and aspirations,” he said.
