The government’s aim is to create 3 crore Lakhpati Didis in the third term. We want to empower the women self-help groups running in villages in India, we want in my third phase, 3 crore women from among the poor women of villages become ‘Lakhpati Didi’, that is, their annual income should be more than Rs 1 lakh and it remains so forever. It is a big target but when people like you bless us, even the biggest goals can be achieved,” the PM said.

Today, India is a country that is filing patents and publishing research papers in record numbers,” the PM said.

When people from the world come to India, they say ‘Bharat badal raha hai’ (India is changing). When you all come, you are also feeling so. What are they seeing? They are clearly able to see the transformation of India, the redevelopment of India.”
“When India Organises successful events like G20, the world speaks in one voice, ‘Bharat badal raha hai’. When India doubles the number of its airports in just 10 years, the world says, ‘Bharat badal raha hai’. When India electrifies more than 40,000 kilometres of railway lines in just 10 years, the world also realises the power of India, they say the country is changing,” he added.
