PM Narendra Modi at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi.
PM Narendra Modi today launched NITI Aayog lecture series at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.
Here are the highlights of his address:
- 30 years ago, a country might have been able to look inward and find its solutions. Today, countries are inter dependent ans inter connected.
- No country can afford any longer to develop in isolation.
- Younger generation in India is thinking and aspiring so differently, that government can no longer afford to remain rooted in the past.
- My vision for India is rapid transformation, not gradual evolution.
- If India is to meet the challenge of change, mere incremental progress is not enough. A metamorphosis is needed.
- The transformation of India cannot happen without a transformation of governance.
- A transformation of governance cannot happen without a transformation in mindset.
- A transformation in mindset cannot happen without transformative ideas.
- What we need is a collective opening of our minds, to let in new, global perspectives.
- We cannot march through the twenty first century with the administrative systems of the nineteenth century.
- What we need is a collective opening of our minds, to let in new, global perspectives.
- It is therefore fitting that we are inaugurating this series with Shri Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore.
- One of the greatest reformers and administrators of our time was Lee Kuan Yew who transformed Singapore to what it is today.
