 at the third Republic Summit despite his extensively packed schedule. We're grateful to him to have blessed us at every Republic Summit to date. I'd like to now call upon the editor in chief, Republic media, Arnab Goswami, to please welcome the Honorable Prime Minister and invite him to address the August gathering. Thank you, Rani. Honorable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, welcome to the Republic Summit. And this is my and our luck, Prime Minister, that you are present amongst us today. This is the third Republic Summit. And the third time you have come amongst us, what is the greater joy for me than this, Prime Minister? This is the first time you've come to Mumbai in 2018 and you've raised my spirits. Then you came to the Republic Summit of Delhi in 2019 and you had the vision of the nation-first. The vision of the nation-first from this state, from this month. So I and my entire team are grateful to you. Prime Minister, on August 15, 2015, you announced the start-up of India from the red light. Prime Minister, the Republic Media Network is a start-up. In the area of media, today, we are the fastest growing, both in reach and presence, the fastest growing news media start-up in the entire world. And this is possible only in India, Prime Minister. Prime Minister, six years ago, in the room of 2017, we had started with a team of 14 people with chalk and slate. We didn't even have the opportunity to buy a camera. That too was very far-fetched. And today, I want to share with you that in Hindi, English, and Bengali, we have reached 8 billion viewers today. Prime Minister, every journalist, every journalist, writer and entrepreneur faces many difficulties. We too have faced them. But today I want to tell you the reason why we have been able to do this. Prime Minister, for someone like me who is educated and comes from a middle-class family, he has created this network with 14 journalists and producers because Prime Minister, to support him, was the vision of start-up India. And the biggest thing, Prime Minister, which I've always wanted to tell you and I'm telling you today, that vision has given us, and professionals like us, a level playing field. This is a very big thing for us. This vision has given us such an environment in which with talent and innovation, and with technology, anyone can dream. Prime Minister, to fulfill every Indian dream, you have created such a network in our country. You have created such an environment in this country. You have created a level playing field for people like us. Like Swami Vivekananda had said, there is only one way to know the limit of the opportunity, to get ahead of the impossible. Prime Minister, I want to say from this stage today to you personally, we believe in you. We believe in your vision. And we believe in your leadership. Prime Minister, when I was in the Hindu college, when I was in the hostel in the Hindu college of Delhi University, it was the time of the brain drain. Many people of our generation have gone back. But in your guidance today, the best talent is in India, and the best talent is coming back to India. That is the transformation, Prime Minister, that you have brought, you alone have brought in this country. Prime Minister, the people who had made home, electricity, roads, water, and ration a political slogan, the roads that used to be 3 km every day, today is the day of the 25 km highway. You are today leading the world on global issues on the one side. Climate change. You are the global leader on issues of climate change. You are showing the way to peace in Ukraine with your straight talk and your astute and unbelievable diplomacy. Unbelievable diplomacy. And at the same time, Prime Minister, it is only and only under your leadership, only under your leadership, that everyone is getting free water and ration at home. In 70 years, which is only seen in dreams, and that is why I want to tell you, on the theme of time of transformation, Prime Minister, we believe in you. We believe in your vision. And we have absolute belief and trust and faith in your leadership. As you have said, Prime Minister, and I am quoting you, that by 2047, we will have to work on the goal of developing India. That is why we all have to work together. Development India is our first obstacle. It is a big obstacle, but we have to work in this direction. Prime Minister, we 100% believe in your vision for a developed India when you speak from your heart. And I felt the last time that you spoke at the Red Fort, Prime Minister, as you always do, you made it very, very clear. And I know that every step of yours, and having had the privilege of following both your political career for some time now, and I hope you remember the days when I was to come as a reporter at the BJP headquarters. Prime Minister, I know that everything that you are doing today from G20 to transformation of the infrastructure of this country, the marvelous transformation is a step in that direction. And that is why we want to not only believe in your vision, not only believe in your vision, we want to work hand in hand with you towards making your vision possible. So today, Prime Minister, I want to tell you about a small dream of mine. A small dream of mine. Both as a journalist and as an entrepreneur, a small dream of this network which this country and God has given us the opportunity to build. Prime Minister, my dream is that in India, from India, from India's experience, from India's talent, and Prime Minister, from India's content, and from India's technology, very soon, a global news network should take place. And in that direction, Prime Minister, in that direction, in that direction, we have started our work, we have not announced it, but I thought that if you are coming, I want to tell you that 100% homegrown technology with the Republic Media Network technology development center at this time, 100% home built, not 1% imported Prime Minister, 100% home built, machine learning, artificial intelligence, home grown analytics, and digital technology, we are getting ready and our work is going on. Like Prime Minister, you have shown the direction, we are also trying in that direction, and I feel that through the mission of media and technology, through a mix of media and technology and content, we want to take the voice of India in every corner of the world. Prime Minister, after 3 days, after 3 days, 100 episodes about the mind, 100 episodes, which I think is going to be record viewership, record listenership. 100 episodes, friends, about the mind, through which Prime Minister has connected, and when Prime Minister had started, many people used to say, you are doing it with the radio, you have changed, you have disrupted that too, Prime Minister, and 100 episodes will be between the country, 140 crore people are waiting for this historic episode without patience, and we too, and I too, are waiting impatiently for this. Prime Minister, you have talked about the mind in every episode, and I also want to say that since the day that you have taken over as Prime Minister of India in May 2014, Prime Minister, I have seen the conviction in you, if you remember Prime Minister, I had the unique opportunity and honour of having the last interview with you on your campaign trail when your voice was hoarse, and you were campaigning on the 6th of May 2014, I met you in Gandhinagar. Pradhan Mantri Ji, from the day you have been sworn in, you have touched the hearts and changed the lives of the people of this country in ways that have been seen to be absolutely unbelievable. We are blessed to have a leader like you, and I am too today speaking to you from the heart, I don't come with any numbers or statistics, but we see the transformation in this country. Pradhan Mantri Ji, you have truly, truly transformed India. You have transformed India in ways that people cannot, would not even have imagined. Pradhan Mantri Ji, today our hundred, our millions of viewers, television, digital, live streaming, is waiting for your address. Thank you for gracing the occasion and giving us the opportunity to host you. Pradhan Mantri Ji, thank you, thank you. Mr. Arunabh Goswami, as a member of the Republic Media Network, in India and abroad, I did my research, so I left a letter that I am tired of living, I don't want to live, so I said, what can I do, I will jump and die. Now in the morning, my daughter is not at home, so I got a letter in the bed, so my father got very angry, he said, I am a professor, for so many years, I worked hard, he still said, where does the spelling go wrong? I am happy that Arunabh started speaking Hindi well. I didn't hear what he said, but Hindi is not right, he was listening carefully. And maybe, because you are living in Mumbai, you have learnt Hindi well. Friends, I am happy to know that you all are happy. Next month, the six years of Republic TV are coming to an end. I will tell you, you didn't give your nation your mission for the first time. Despite all kinds of problems, problems and obstacles, you are still fighting. Sometimes, Arunabh's throat is not well, sometimes, some people have a throat of Arunabh, but the channel didn't stop, neither did I get tired, nor did I stop. In fact, in 2019, when I came to the Republic Summit, the theme of that time was India's movement. And in the background of this theme, there was a nation that was united with the people of the country. After many decades, the people of India have repeatedly, made a strong government and the nation was convinced that India's movement is coming. Today, after four years, the theme of your summit is Time of Transformation. That is, the transformation that was believed is now on the ground. What is the direction of the transformation that is taking place in the country? There is a way to measure it. It is the process of development and development of the earth. India, in becoming the earth of one trillion dollars, took about sixty years, sixty years. By 2014, somehow, we were able to reach the path of two trillion dollars. In other words, in seven decades, the meaning of two trillion dollars is present. But today, after nine years of our government, India is almost three trillion dollars economy country. In the past nine years, we have put a long line from the tenth number to the fifth number. And all this has been the biggest problem of the century. During which the world's great, great meaningful situation was in that time. India came out of the crisis and is moving forward rapidly. Comrades policymakers, you must have heard one thing often. First order impact. It is the first and the first of the policy. The first order impact is the first target of the policy. And it starts to look like in a short time. But every policy has a second and third order impact. Its impact is deep, it is dull. But it starts to look like in a short time. To study it in a comparative way, to understand it in detail, we will have to go back many decades. You are the world of TV. You run two windows, first and now, before and after. So I am also going to do something like this today. So let's talk about before first. Friends, after today's meeting, the economy policy that was applied by the licensed state became the government's controller. The competition was finished. The private industry, the MSMEs were not allowed to go ahead. The first impact of this was that compared to other countries, we went back, we became even more poor. The second order impact of those policies was even worse. The consumption growth of India was very low compared to the world. Due to this, the manufacturing sector was weak. And we lost the opportunity to invest. The third effect of this was that India could not even be an environment for innovation. In such a way, there was no more innovative enterprise and no more private jobs were created. The youth only started living in government jobs. Many countries did not see the working environment and decided to leave the country. All of this was the third order impact of those government policies. The impact of those policies gave the country innovation, hard work and the opportunity to enter the enterprise. Friends, now what I am going to tell you is that the audience of Republic TV will be shocked. After 2014 our government will make any policy not only focused on the initial benefits but also the second and third order effects. Now you will remember in 2019 I said that under the PM's strategy we have given home to 1.5 crore families in 5 years. Now this impact has increased more than 4 crore. More than this the right of the owner is in the name of our mothers and sisters each house is worth lakhs that is crores of poor sisters I am very happy today that she has become a millionaire. Perhaps the biggest risk could not be this. This was the first impact and the second impact came from this because millions of people are in the village and you know that when someone has their own house their own house then their self-confidence increases their risk taking capacity increases their dreams and the self-confidence of the poor has reached new heights Friends a few days ago 8 years have passed for Mudra Yojana This Yojana was started to give financial support to micro and small entrepreneurs Under Mudra Yojana more than 40 crores have been distributed in which 70% of the women are The first impact of this Yojana is in the form of a millionaire in front of us Mudra Yojana is to open an account of women or to share with these Yojanas We can see a big social change in the country These Yojanas today in the family in the decision making process have established the strong land of women now more women are coming in the land the increasing means of the country are strengthening Friends In PM Swamit you can see the first, second and third order impact Under this using the latest technology the poor have been given property cards which gave them the trust of the wealth One more impact of this Yojana can be seen on the drone sector in which the opportunities of demand and investment are increasing The PM Swamit's Yojana started two and a half years back but the social impact has started to be seen when the wealth card was given the supply of the wealth has decreased our police and legal conditions are increasing the pressure is decreasing along with the property now getting help from banks has become easier the value of these properties of the village Friends I have the first order, second order and third order impact so many case studies that your run down will be out of order A lot of time will come in this whether it is electricity, water toilets or to reach the poor these all have brought a revolution on the ground level these Yojanas have filled the poor people with respect and security in the country for the first time the poor people have got security and dignity the people who were made aware that they are a burden on the development of the country today the development of the country is getting worse when the government was starting these Yojanas some people were making fun of us but today these Yojanas have made the development of the country these Yojanas are the basis of the development of the country Friends from the past 9 years poverty poverty poverty settlement industry everything is trying to change the way today this country is working very systematically and the mission is working on the curve We have changed the mindset of the government we have brought We have made the poor Kalyan our medium. We have not created the poor, but created the poor as our foundation. This approach has created a defensive shield for the poor and the poor of the country. It has created the shield of protection. This protective shield has stopped the poor of the country from being poor. Very few of you know that Aishma Yodana has saved 80,000 crore rupees from the poor of the country. If this was not the case, the poor would have to spend so much money on their own. We have saved so many poor people from being poor. It is not a single thought that is going to work during the crisis. In fact, it is the first time that we have met crores of families with cheap medicines, free dialysis, excellent insurance and life insurance. The PM Gareeb Kalyan Annayojana is a very protective shield for the country. This Yodana did not let any poor person get hungry during the crisis. Today the government has saved 4 lakh crore rupees. The government is spending on this Yodana. Whether it is a one nation, one ration card, or Jam Trinity, all of this is a protective shield. Today the poor has gained the trust that he will get what he deserves. And I believe that this is the social justice in the true sense. There are so many such thoughts that have greatly affected the poor in India. A report from IMF has come up. You might have seen it on a working paper. This report shows that because of such thoughts, there is extreme poverty in India. And this is transformation. What else is transformation? You might remember that I introduced Mandrega as the leader of Congress. Before 2014, how many complaints did the government have about Mandrega? The government had done a study. In the study, instead of one day's work, it has been shown that there are 30 days of work to be done. That is, money was doing something else. What was the harm in this? The poverty, the labor. Even today, if you go to the villages and ask what projects are being done in Mandrega before 2014? If the work is being done today, you will not find much. First, the money spent on Mandrega had very little work to do with permanent SS development. We changed the situation. We increased the budget of Mandrega. We increased the transparency. We started sending money directly to the bank account. And we also made resources for the village. After 2014, under Mandrega, we made houses for the poor. We made rivers, rivers and streams. Millions of work has been done. Today, most of the payments for Mandrega are cleared within 15 days. Now, more than 90% of the funds for Mandrega have been linked. This has reduced the burden on the work card. And I will give you another example. In Mandrega, due to the lack of money we saved Rs. 40,000 crores from going to the wrong places. Now, the money for Mandrega is going to the poor Madhur who works hard and who is sweating. Even the injustice that is happening with the poor has ended our government. This is the journey of transformation. The more complex it is, the more futuristic it is. We are preparing for many more tens of years to come. Whatever technology came into existence after many, many decades or years, India reached. In the last nine years, India has also changed this train. India has started three work together. First, we have connected the sectors to the government's control. Second, we have strengthened the technology in India according to the needs of India. Third, we have applied a mission mode approach on research and development in India. Today, you are seeing how and how quickly 5G has rolled out in the world. We have progressed rapidly in the world. With 5G, India has shown the speed of its technology and it is being discussed all over the world. In the time of Corona, no one can forget the vaccine. The people who were old-fashioned were saying that what is the need of a made-in-India vaccine? They are making other countries. They will give us the vaccine one day or the other. But at the time of the crisis, India chose the path of self-reliance. And the results are in front of us. And friends, don't think that you are so happy about the decision-making situation. Keep yourself in that place that the world is saying, take the vaccine. People are saying that without the vaccine, they will die. Editorial TV is full of people. Get the vaccine, get the vaccine. And Modi is standing there. I had put a lot of political capital on the wrist, friends. Just for my country. Otherwise, I too... I have to go. Take it. Put it on once. Give an advertisement in the newspaper. It will work. But we didn't choose that path, friends. We made the world's most effective vaccine in a very short time. We made the world's biggest, most successful vaccine in the world. And do you remember? In January and February, COVID started in India. India had made a task force for the vaccine in May. It was so advanced that it worked. And this was the same time when some people were lying to the Made in India vaccine. I don't know how they used the word. I don't know whose pressure it was. I don't know how selfish they were to import foreign vaccines. Friends, even our Digital India Biennial today is full of talk. I was born in G20 Summit the last few days. Maybe there will be a country who didn't try to know the details of Digital India. Such a big talk. Even Digital India tried to drill in one time. First, the country was in a debate about data-making. And the TV viewers were shocked. They used the word data-making. They wanted data-making. In order to stop the trend of mobile telecommunication, they didn't do anything from the sound source to the court. In 2016, when I had to tell the country that your bank will be on your finger. Your bank will be on your finger. People used to mock me. Some of them were very intelligent. They used to ask me, tell me, how will the poor buy potatoes and tomatoes digitally? What do these people say later? They say, how will the poor buy potatoes and tomatoes? People used to say that there are mails in the village. How will the people pay digitally? Today, even in film city, from tea shop to the bank of Litti Chokha, are they paying digitally? Today, India is in those countries where digital payments are getting the most. Even in the world. Friends, you must be wondering why the government is doing so much work. People are getting benefits on the ground. Still, some people some people are so worried about Modi. Now, the media time starts. Today, I want to tell the viewers of Republic TV. The people who are looking angry, the people who are getting angry are because because some people on the path of black earning, Modi has always stopped it. Now, there is no isolated approach in the fight against black earning. Now, there is an integrated institutionalized approach. This is our commitment. Now, you tell me whose black earning will stop will he drink water and abuse me or not? He used to fill poison in his pen. You will be surprised to know that Jame Trinity because of that government schemes about 10 crores is not less. 10 crores has gone out of poverty. 10 crores has gone out of poverty. These were the 10 crores who used to get government benefits. But these were the 10 crores whose birth had never happened. But their name was being sent by the government. Now, think about it. The total number of Delhi, Punjab, Haryana is more than that of Congress. The government was sending money. If these 10 crores would not have been removed from the system then the situation could have been terrible. Such a big thing has not happened. For this, it was given a reasonable standard. More than 45 crores were opened on mission mode. Until now, Rs. 28 lakhs were sent from DBT to LBD. Direct-manifit transfer. No bicholis, no cutting companies, no people who earn money. This means DBT is a commission, a leakage. From this one state a lot of people were transferred from Kairat Kamo. Friends, even the government bought a lot of money in our country. But now, there is a transformation. The government bought a lot of money in any government, e-market place, portal. How much was the problem related to tax? What was the problem? We used to fill the newspaper with it. What was the solution? We made the system in front of the tax authorities and tax payers. What was the solution? Now, the system like GST, has also closed the path of earning money. When such a work is done then some people have a lot of problems. And those who have a lot of problems don't abuse people. Friends, this is the biggest problem of the country. Whatever they do, they want to rebuild the country. Friends, if a person was from Modi, then this would have been very successful. But they are not able to succeed because they don't know that these things are fighting against India. They are standing against them. No matter how big a group they are, all of them are coming. All families are coming to the same place. But Modi is going to return from his path. My fight will continue against all of them. And I, to free the country from these things, I am a person who has come with life. Today's revolution is for all of us. When every Indian has the power every Indian will face the dream of developing India we will be able to complete it quickly. I am confident that even the Republic network will continue to do it. And now Arnab has told us that they are going globally. So the voice of India will gain a new power. I am also very happy with them. And with the support of the leaders of the country, it is increasing. It is increasing. The same is the guarantee of India. Friends. My country is the guarantee of India. I trust you. That is also my trust. Once again, thank you all. Prime Minister, today we commit to you with all our energy. We will work to make your vision what you have shared with us. Prime Minister, your feelings, your thoughts, your clarity, your direction, your vision of transformation will be a reality. Everyone here. Every viewer of the Republic, every citizen of the country. Prime Minister, I do not want to talk about the lobby ecosystem. I believe that the people of the country are with you. That we too, with the full commitment of the Republic Media Network, in your vision and in your direction, we will work together. Prime Minister, you said something about my Hindi. Prime Minister, people used to complain that I speak very loudly. Try to come to Madhyamgati today. Prime Minister, even if you have hundreds of projects, my Hindi is also a work in progress with WIP. Prime Minister, you have used one word from Lalkilesh. Aspirations. Prime Minister, you have brought change in both things. One, you have brought big aspirations. Prime Minister, I still remember your victory speech from Badodra on 16th May, at 6.30 pm Prime Minister, at 6.30 pm. And you were talking with a young boy from one to one working in that direction that what we do should help you. Prime Minister, you have changed the aspiration of every Indian. Every Indian today. People used to joke that there is no need for a bullet train. People are experiencing the aspirations of change. Prime Minister, what you are working in the railway which has lost our aspirations since 70 years you came to know in the next 7-8 years what was going on in the morning. So I came to know that every coach, every passenger compartment of the railway station is completely transformed. Prime Minister, that is a big thing. You have increased your aspirations. And I can tell you Prime Minister, at the pace at which you are going, I truly believe all of India will be extreme poverty at the pace at which you are going Prime Minister, you have eliminated poverty next and you will Prime Minister take every Indian to at least middle class in our lifetime and that is going to be the biggest transformation of the country. Second thing Prime Minister, what you have said that you have given a figure of 80,000 crores can only be known who experiences it. We have seen that families have got finished in this crisis. Prime Minister, all of this audience, all of the country feels proud today. Prime Minister, when an average Indian travels out of India today I want to tell you honestly Prime Minister, you are talking about Vixit Bharat Prime Minister, I want to tell you one to one that every person will agree with me. When you come to Mumbai from London Prime Minister, or anywhere else, we feel we are already coming to a developed country. It is incredible. But the impact on foreign policy Prime Minister, the position and people used to say Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not deft in foreign policy you said about self-styled intellectuals that this is one area where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have to gain from our experience. All the years of experience on one side Prime Minister but the position that you have taken in the enlightened self-interest and national interest of India after the Ukraine war history will remember you Prime Minister Prime Minister history will remember you I am no expert in geopolitics Prime Minister but I want to tell you it takes courage it takes determination it takes a very deep understanding of national interest to take a step in that direction and I think Prime Minister only one thing has guided you one your understanding of this country your deep, deep, deep understanding of the people of this country and the motto of our republic network is today you are the vision of I think we owe you a debt of gratitude for the position you have taken after Ukraine we walk with our head held high in every corner of the country today we feel proud when we see you leading the world Prime Minister I will have to stop at one point I will tell you since I said of stop I will end with one quotation Prime Minister as they say nothing can stop an idea whose time has come Prime Minister this is our time this is the time for transformation the time for transformation is now we all of our republic network Prime Minister I am honored blessed to have you with us I can't say thank you enough but I hope I have been able to express through my words to you thank you Pradhan Mantri ji thank you sir ladies and gentlemen kindly remain in your places until the honourable Prime Minister has left the hall ladies and gentlemen kindly remain in your places thank you again ladies and gentlemen for joining us for the third republic summit
