Dehradun, December 9: Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed optimism about India's economic growth, projecting that the country will reach the milestone of a $5 trillion economy by the end of 2025. Addressing the valedictory session of the Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit in Dehradun, Shah attributed this remarkable growth to the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

India's Remarkable Economic Rise

Shah highlighted India's exponential growth across various sectors over the past decade, crediting Prime Minister Modi's farsightedness and ability to transform his vision into reality. He emphasized that the world now looks to India with hope, as evidenced by the country's rise from the 11th to the 5th largest economy globally between 2014 and 2023. Shah attributed this unprecedented leap to Modi's leadership, particularly his efforts in combating climate change, promoting the "Make in India" program to boost economic growth, and advocating for a terror-free world.

Diplomatic Triumphs and Economic Indicators

Shah also celebrated India's diplomatic achievements, particularly the Delhi Declaration during the G20 summit, which he described as a significant accomplishment that will be remembered for years to come. He further noted the country's impressive economic indicators, including a doubling of per capita income over the past ten years and the lifting of 135 million people out of poverty. Shah cited positive assessments from international organizations such as the IMF, which labeled India as a "bright spot" in a challenging global economic landscape, and Morgan Stanley, which predicted India's emergence as the world's third-largest economy by 2027, surpassing Japan and Germany.

Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit: A Resounding Success

Shah lauded the success of the Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit, expressing initial skepticism about Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's ambitious target of securing investments worth Rs 2 lakh crore. However, he commended Dhami for surpassing expectations by signing investment MoUs worth Rs 3.5 lakh crore with various companies. Shah emphasized that this two-day summit marks a new era for Uttarakhand, building upon the foundation laid by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and further developed by Prime Minister Modi.

Investment Opportunities and Peaceful Environment

Shah encouraged investors to explore the limitless investment potential of Uttarakhand across diverse sectors. He highlighted the state's investor-friendly policies and corruption-free administration as key advantages for businesses. Additionally, Shah emphasized Uttarakhand's status as the most peaceful state in the country, offering investors a secure and conducive environment for their ventures.

Collective Responsibility for Smaller States

Shah also stressed the importance of ensuring the success of smaller states created by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He called for collective responsibility in realizing the aspirations of these states and ensuring their prosperity.

Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan Ashram

In the evening, accompanied by Chief Minister Dhami, Shah visited the Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh to participate in the Ganga Aarti. Swami Chidanand Saraswati, the head of Parmarth Niketan, welcomed the leaders as they offered prayers and sought blessings from Mother Ganga. Yoga guru Ramdev, former chief minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, and Akhara Parishad President Mahant Shri Ravindra Puri were also present during the visit.
