MODI DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS DURING CORONA PANDAMIC TIME
"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without
vision is a nightmare.“
- Japanese proverb
Modi’s Vision with Mission is the fulcrum under which Development Projects spread throughout India revolve 24/7 and even Corona Pandemic had not affected much the developmental programmes – though it had slowed down the speed of constructions.
There is no question of Daydream or Nightmare in Modi’s Development Agenda as Modi is a Man of Action with Vision which is his Mission. He wants India to become Number One Developed Nation by 2035 which is reflected when Modi had tweeted thus:
“About 575 projects at a total cost of over six lakh core rupees have been identified for implementation during 2015-2035 period:
These works cover: Port modernisation. New port development Port connectivity enhancement, Port-linked industrialisation and Coastal community development. “
Even in selection of various projects, Modi Sarkar aims at BEST – Business Hub, Education Hub, Spiritual Hub and Tourism Hub so as to have homogenous wholesome growth – Rainbow growth - engines for the nation to fulfill the goal of ‘Self Reliant Bharat’.
His Vision is to have ‘Zero Defects’ in everything we do. Glorious Global Quality Standards set up by the Modi Sarkar were quite visible in the various developmental projects completed and made operational. Further Cost overrun was now absent in almost major projects which speaks about the dedications of the Team India which are at the forefront of executions.
Modi’s vision of ‘Make in India’ is in full swing and it had now gained momentum and moved to the next stage of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Self Reliant Bharat) for which Courageous Bold Decisions such as Simplification of Labour Laws with Abolishing Outmoded Clauses existing since British and also abolishing submission of numerous control forms were implemented under the Modi Sarkar’s aim of ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and also to end ‘Inspection Raj’ and ‘Corruption Raj’.
Such Surgical Strikes Modes in Businesses and Developmental Activities could be resorted only if the Leader at the helm is Pure, Honest and Courageous as a Karma Yogi without worrying about his post or power but to concentrate only on implementing his Vision Documents of Development with Missionary Zeal.
My above statements may sound like mere words of praise about Modi Sarkar without any substance, if I had not substantiated with solid proofs. There were many projects completed and dedicated to the nations by Modi since he took charge of the nation. Hence here for fear of length, the activities pertaining to the past one year only are considered for references.
Let me present Modi Sarkar’s completed big projects in various parts of the Country and also the details of projects for which foundations stones were laid during the last one year. If Modi lays a foundation stone to a project, it can be easily presumed that the project will have a proper plan, estimates, financial outlays with clear sources, environmental clearance, time schedule etc. Modi is also very keen to have such projects to be completed within his term.

HAL:
Indigenous ‘AtmaNirbhar Formation Flight’ proves self-sufficiency in the trainer segment.
Upgradation of existing fighter planes, Hawk-I’s successful test fires Smart Anti Airfield Weapon are all prides of our HAL products.
Due to ‘zero defect concept’, these become export oriented items earning much needed foreign exchange to further modernize the plant and to enhance our R & D segment.
BEML:
BEML is another Ravarathna Public Sector Enterprise and its products diversifications from manufacture of Railway Engines and Defence Vehicles had very much helped to meet our Defence’s requirements, as BRML had signed an MOU with Rosoborn Exports, Russia for the supply of latest technology proven Air Defence Weapon Systems and Armoured Vehicles.
As the vaccination programme was a grand success, many countries had stand on queue to get these two vaccines. India had exported these vaccines to more than 30 countries free and WHO had all praise for India. When the most developed Countries were struggling to cope up with the pandemic, India had marched ahead with confidence to deal with this dangerous disease and the entire credits should go to our Honourable Prime Minister Modi. India had earned the fame of ‘World Pharmacy’.
Inspite of so many projects being undertaken, many MOUs with foreign Companies and Countries, all actions and transactions were transparent and there were no underhand dealings or favours – no corruption. Hence many are very much eager to do business with India – it becomes a Win Win – situation for all.
One Nation – One Election – if somehow achieved, it will give more time to concentrate on developmental activities and also to concentrate on still more long lasting schemes.
LONG LIVE MODI SARKAR.
