Unceasing Journey

of Empowerment

Development at Every Moment, New Possibilities at Every Turn

Before embarking on the path of progress and glory, it was imperative to give special attention to
those sections of society that had long been neglected and ignored. However, the Prime Minister
Narendra modi did not merely acknowledge these sections; he revered them. The marginalized were
accorded the highest priority in all policies and schemes of the Central Government. “Where women
are honored, there the deities rejoice; but where they are not honored, all actions remain futile.”
This ancient adage became the guiding mantra for women-led development; consequently, over the
past 12 years, Nari Shakti has excelled in every field. Similarly, the call—”This is the time; this is the
right time; this is India’s precious time”—a mantra for a ‘Developed India’ dedicated to the youth—
serves as a powerful testament to the fact that India’s young generation is poised and ready to give
new wings to their aspirations. Today, as the potential of youth power has gained a new identity,
the ‘Amrit Peedhi’ of New India has emerged as a symbol of India’s knowledge, science, and timeless
achievements. It would be no exaggeration to say that these past 12 years have marked an era—a
distinct epoch dedicated to the empowerment of the underprivileged, women, the youth, and
farmers. With a sensitive mindset and an inclusive approach, the new leadership of New India has,
over the last 12 years, made every section of society and every region a partner in development—
and thus began the journey toward a Swarnim Bharat.
