The ‘Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit 2023’ was opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday at the Forest Research Institute in Dehradun.
Speaking to a group of notable businessmen, the prime minister said he was happy to be in Devbhoomi, Uttarakhand, and he reaffirmed his prediction that the third decade of the century will be Uttrakhand’s, which he added was being realized in reality.
The Prime Minister compared the investors in attendance to the titans of the business and stressed the need of doing this exercise on the country, drawing a parallel with the multinationals’ SWOT analysis. He emphasized that the country has a wealth of opportunities, aspirations, optimism, self-confidence, and inventiveness, as shown by the results of the SWOT analysis.
Indicators of policy-driven governance and the public’s commitment to political stability were also mentioned by PM Modi. The Prime Minister, shedding light on the just concluded Assembly Elections, stated, “Aspirational India desires a stable government rather than instability.” He also emphasized that the people voted based on the government’s record of good governance.
The prime minister emphasized that despite the COVID outbreak and the unsteady geopolitical environment, the nation is capable of moving forward at a historic rate.
The state was showing the advantages of having a double-engine government, according to the prime minister. The Indian government is investing historically large sums of money in Uttrakhand, while the state administration operates within the constraints of the region.
The efforts of both tiers of government are supplementing one another. The Prime Minister mentioned that the day will not be far off when the trip time between Delhi and Dehradun will be shortened to two and a half hours, citing the work being done from rural areas to Char Dham.
“The extension of the airports at Dehradun and Pantnagar would improve air connectivity. The state is strengthening rail connectivity and expanding heli-taxi services. All of this is opening up new doors for the travel and hospitality, logistics, agriculture, industry, and storage industries,” he continued.
The Prime Minister highlighted how Uttarakhand’s tourist industry has benefited from the double-engine government and mentioned how eager people are to travel to India from both domestic and international travel destinations.
He emphasized that Uttarakhand, with its blend of environment, culture, and legacy, will become a brand unto itself. He emphasized to the investors that they should prioritize finding and developing prospects in the adventure sports, yoga, ayurvedic, and tertha industries.
Like ‘Make in India,’ PM Modi called on the nation’s youth and wealthy citizens to start the ‘Wed in India’ movement. Within the next five years, he asked them to arrange and carry out at least one marriage ceremony in Uttarakhand.
The Prime Minister emphasized India’s capacity to accomplish any task by saying, “Even if 5000 weddings take place in Uttarakhand in a year, new infrastructure will come into place and transform the state into a wedding destination for the world.”
The Prime Minister praised the Uttarakhand government for introducing the House of Himalayas brand and described it as a creative attempt to introduce the state’s native goods to international consumers. “House of Himalayas further strengthens our concept of Vocal for Local and Local for Global,” Modi stated.
He pointed out that goods from every Indian block and district have the potential to go worldwide. He used the example of pricey clay utensils that are made and displayed in unique ways in other nations.
The prime minister stated that capacity building must take precedence over cheap exports and that we must abandon this mindset. He brought up two import bills: one for coal worth Rs 4 lakh crore and the other for petroleum worth Rs 15 lakh crore. He went into further detail about the initiatives being taken to lower the import of oilseeds and pulses, as India still imports pulses valued at Rs 15,000 crore.
He predicted that “India is going to become the third largest economy in the world in the next few years,” attributing this to a combination of a stable political system, a system of policies that are supportive, a reform-and-transformation mindset, and faith in the process of development.
“This is the appropriate moment. The Prime Minister urged investors to walk with Uttarakhand and take part in the state’s development, saying, “This is India’s time.” Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit.
