Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lauded Union Minister Hardeep Puri’s recent write-up that contrasts India’s growth trajectory with the inward-looking trend of many developed nations. Modi emphasised that India is forging a unique path driven by scale, skill, and self-reliance, positioning itself as a major growth engine on the global stage.
In his post on X, the Prime Minister said, “While many developed countries are turning inward, India is charting a different course — powered by ambitious reforms, digital innovation, and a vibrant, youthful workforce.” He added that these factors collectively fuel India’s emergence as the world’s growth engine.
The write-up by Minister Puri underscores the significance of India’s structural reforms and technological advancements in fostering economic resilience and inclusive development. It highlights India’s demographic advantage, noting how a large, skilled young population is contributing to sustained growth and innovation.
This narrative aligns with the government’s broader vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India), which seeks to harness domestic capabilities while engaging with global markets. As other economies face challenges from protectionism and demographic shifts, India’s focus on scale and skill development presents a compelling blueprint for future progress.
Modi’s endorsement of Puri’s perspective reinforces the administration’s commitment to policies that drive economic transformation, job creation, and technological empowerment, aiming to secure India’s place as a leading global economic power.
