JAMMU, MARCH 19: Lieutenant Governor Shri
Manoj Sinha attended Viksit Bharat Samvad ‘EDGE 2025’ at Kanpur, today.
In his
keynote address, the Lieutenant Governor called upon the civil society members,
youth, trade and industry stakeholders to pursue two big goals- Make India a $5
Trillion economy by 2026 and Viksit Bharat by 2047.
He emphasised on carrying out speedy reforms,
and working in a collaborative manner to make every sector of the economy
globally competitive.
The Lieutenant Governor said, “Given the
global economic upheaval, trade uncertainties and geopolitical situations, we
need to focus on transforming India into a global hub for design and
manufacturing.
Our next resolution should be to realise the
potential of demographic dividend through skilling, reskilling, and upskilling
of youth, and ensure that they take advantage of technological advancements
taking place globally.
While the world is ageing, young India is
rising. This demographic dividend combined with the power of IIT- Innovation,
industries and Technology will ensure India's steady economic growth to achieve
the target of $5 trillion economy by 2026.
We also need to focus on production of
critical goods to reduce the dependence on the external market and at the same
time meet the requirements of our aspiring economy. To become a manufacturing
colossus by 2029, we must have a long-term strategy on foreign investment and
strong domestic supply-chains”.
The Lieutenant Governor urged the business
leaders to focus on creating rural enterprises connected to the global market.
“I want to see a new partnership between
Panchayats and Industry across the country. This is the only way to accelerate
inclusive development of our country and a prosperous society where all sections
will enjoy the fruits of economic growth.
Our villages need to match the modern cities
in infrastructure, healthcare, education and economic opportunities and this
can be achieved through Panchayat and Industry partnership,” the Lieutenant
Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor also spoke on India’s
remarkable development journey, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modi and revolutionary changes taking place across the sectors in
the country, especially in the UT of Jammu Kashmir.
He also observed that Kanpur, earlier known as
the “Manchester of the East” for its leather and textile industry is witnessing
complete revival and major industries in textiles, leather and defence
manufacturing sectors are setting up the units in the Kanpur region. The
Lieutenant Governor said the groundwork for accelerated industrial development
of Kanpur has been laid and soon the city will reclaim its lost glory. The
Lieutenant Governor pointed out that exports from Kanpur have substantially
increased and this old industrial hub will power the journey of Viksit Bharat.
He commended the collective initiative of the
Rotary Club of Kanpur Gaurav, Confederation of Indian Industries and Prout
Solicitors LLP to provide a meaningful platform for impactful discussions,
strategic collaborations and future oriented insights that will contribute to
India's all-round progress.
