Speaking about Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, the Prime Minister
said,

This government is working towards the dream of Ek Bharat


Shreshtha Bharat. Our way of approaching problems is
completely different. For many years, there was conflict and
tension on the usage of English-Hindi. All the languages of
India are part of our precious heritage. We thought deeply
on how these languages can be tied to each other in a
single thread of national integration. Under the Ek Bharat
Shreshtha Bharat programme we paired two states with
each other and now many states are getting acquainted
with each others cultural diversity.

Stressing on the fact that this government is completely different


in approach from earlier ones, the Prime Minister said,

Our approach towards transformation is innovative. This


is why commonly used words like reform or disruption
fall short. Rather than reforms or disruptions, these
methods are techniques to rejuvenate the soul of our
nation and keep its sanctity intact even as we make
systems compatible with rapidly changing times. This is
the way the 21st century mind thinks. Hence, if anybody
is to be credited for the transformation then it is our
1.25 billion citizens. The archaic mentality and limited
comprehension of some people is such that they think
transformation happens only from the corridors of
power. It is wrong to think so.

Pointing out the tangible difference in work culture his government


has brought in, he said,

We have augmented the work culture of the government


with time-bound implementation and integrated
thinking. In our work culture, there is transparency,
processes are citizen friendly and development friendly,
and processes are re-engineered for efficiency.

ahead. The post-Deepavali crackdown on corruption
and black-money has showed us an example of Jan

of war or strife. This Jan Shakti is coming together be-

The following two examples show that this government moves not with a tunnel vision but

When was the last time you saw such breaking news? You probably dont remember.

In the first 2 years of the government about 50,000 circuit kilometres transmission lines were
laid. Compare it with 16000 circuit kilometres transmission lines in 2013-14.
Government DISCOMs have been given a new lease of life due to our UDAY scheme. The
availability of electricity has increased due to all these measures and the cost has gone down.
Through the Vidyut Pravah app one can see the quantum of electricity available and its price.
We are also pushing clean energy. The target is generation of 175 Gigawatts of renewable
energy against which we have already reached 50 Gigawatts.
India has reached the 4th position in the world in terms of Global Wind Power Installed
Capacity.
Along with more power generation the government is also keen on reducing consumption.
About 22 crore LED bulbs have been distributed towards this.
This has resulted in reduction of pollution and also saves Rs 11000 crore every year for the
people.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke on the critical matter of democratising Digital
India and providing access to everyone to a digital world. He said,

The work to connect 2.5 lakh gram panchayats across the nation
with optical fibre was started in 2011. Between 2011 and 2014,
only 59 gram panchayats were enabled with optical fibre cables.
One can imagine how much time it would take to connect 2.5 lakh
gram panchayats at this pace. We brought necessary changes in
the process and readied a mechanism to resolve existing problems.
In the last two and a half years more than 76,000 gram panchayats
have been connected with optical fibre. Along with it, preparations
are being made to provide wifi hotspots in every gram panchayat
so that people can easily access this facility. It is also being ensured
that this reaches schools, hospitals and police stations.

He also pointed out some specific small Earlier income tax refunds used to take

takes just 24 hours.

On a topic close to his heart, Farmer Welfare, the Prime Minister outlined a vision of Beej
Se Bazaar Tak. He said, The government is working towards doubling farmer incomes. For
this the government is with the farmer in every stage Beej Se Bazaar Tak.

Farmers are being given good quality seeds.


To ensure water for every field the Pradhan Mantri
Krishi Sinchayee Yojana has been started.
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana has ensured
coverage of risks that were not covered earlier.
This apart, soil health cards are being given to
farmers and shortage of urea is unheard of now.
To ensure farmers get the correct price for their
produce, under the e-NAM programme more 580
markets all over the nation are being connected.
Storage and supply chains are being strength-

Pallavi Fauzdar, 37 | Agra


Acknowledged as the first woman in the country to take a motorbike from
18,774 feet, setting a record in the Limca Book of Records.
She has raised awareness about malnutrition in children and female foeticide
though her bike rides in terrains like Leh, Ladakh and Kashmir.
Reckoned as one the most difficult biking trails, she crossed Mana which
rises to a staggering altitude of 5,638 m above sea level, on the border
between India and Tibet.

Anoyara Khatun, 21 | West Bengal


Rescued from domestic labour in 2007 by Save the Children organisation in
Kolkata, she decided to make sure that no other child in West Bengal suffered
the same fate that she underwent.
Through her association with Save the Children, she first became an active
member of the Childrens Multi-Activity Centre, where she learnt more about
child rights and the need to prevent exploitation.
Anoyaras exemplary courage and leadership has helped reunited more than
180 trafficked children with their families, prevent 35 child marriages, rescue
85 children from the clutches of child labour and register 200 out of school
children into schools.

Pamela Malhotra
Passionate about wildlife and nature conservation, Pamela bought 55 acres
of unused and denuded land from the farmers to plant native trees and to
protect the environment.
The unmatched passion for wildlife and nature has helped her transform the
55 acres of barren land into private wildlife sanctuary spread over 300 acres,
called the Save Animals Initiative (SAI) Sanctuary.
As the green cover expanded, the animal and bird species increased too. The
flora of this sanctuary includes hundreds of varieties of indigenous trees,
many of which are of medicinal value.

Bringing a very welcome change to healthcare in India,
cancer medicines will now cost substantially less. In an effort
to provide relief for cancer patients, the drug pricing regulator

the prices of some significant cancer drugs by upto 86 per cent.
Among these medicines, is a drug called Iressa used in the
treatment of lung cancer. Earlier the medicine which cost
around INR 29,259 will now cost INR 3,977. The price of
chemotherapy drugs like Doceaqualip has also been reduced
by 37 per cent making cancer treatment a possibility for thou-
sands of citizens.

An all women crew and a round-the-world flight


create history
To mark International Womens Day, Air India scripted
history with their all-female crew flying around the world. The
Boeing 777 flew from New Delhi to San Francisco travelling over
the Pacific Ocean. The same crew flew over the Atlantic back
to New Delhi after the mandatory rest period. From the flight
captain, the cabin crew, flight engineers to the ground handling
staff every member was a woman. Truly a historic and ex-
tra-ordinary feat to celebrate womens day.

Prime Minister inaugurates OPaLs petrochemical
complex in Gujarat
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
inaugurated the ONGC Petro additions
Ltd petrochemicals complex in Dahej,
Gujarat.
A joint venture organization promoted
by ONGC, Gail and GSPC, it is a grass
root integrated petrochemical complex
located in Special Economic Zone
(SEZ) under Petroleum, Chemical and
Petrochemical Investment Region
(PCPIR).
The largest petrochemical plant in
the country, at full capacity, the plant
will produce 14 lakh metric tonnes
of polymers - viz. linear low density
polyethylene (LLDPE), high density
polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene
(PP) - and 5 lakh metric tonnes of
chemicals such as benzene, butadiene,
and pyrolysis gasoline. The product
warehouse is one of the largest in India
with an area of 128,250 square metres.
The investment of the plant is pegged
at Rs. 30,000 and its strategic location in
the petrochemicals and chemical hub
assures ease of connectivity leading to a
comprehensive ecosystem.
The project will also lead to an increase
in new downstream plastic processing
industries in the country. The project is
also stated to generate an investment of
Rs 40,000 crore and more significantly
create 20,000 indirect employment
opportunities giving a push to the Make
in India programme.
The significant use of polymers will
considerably reduce burden on
traditional materials such as wood, paper,
metal and will help in conservation of
natural resources like water and energy.
The company also aims to encourage
polymer consumption and the products
will be used for infrastructure, housing,
irrigation and other important sectors.
