A Strong Govt Is Not Restrictive But Responsive: PM Modi

The whole world is looking at India’s youth with hope as they are the growth engines of India along with the world, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the 42nd convocation of Anna University in Chennai on Friday.

In strong remarks, Modi said that a strong government does not control everything or everyone but controls the system’s impulse to interfere. 

"A strong government is not restrictive but is responsive A strong government does not move into every domain. It limits itself and makes space for people’s talents," he said. 

He further emphasised that a strong government’s strength lies in its humility to accept that it can not know or do everything. 

He noted that the Covid-19 pandemic was an unprecedented event. It was a once-in-a-century crisis that nobody had any user manual for. It tested every country. 

He remarked that adversities reveal what we are made of India faced the unknown confidently, thanks to its scientists, healthcare professionals and common people. 

As a result, he said, every sector in India is bustling with a new life. Industry, investment, innovation and international trade, all are seeing India at the forefront. 

PM Modi informed that India received a record FDI of over 83 billion dollars last year. Our startups too received record funding post-pandemic. Above all this, India’s position in the international trade dynamics is at its best ever.

“Your growth is India’s growth. Your learnings are India’s learnings. Your victory is India’s victory, said Modi while underlining the link between the progress of youth and the nation.
