Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that his aim was to make India a developed country in one generation. Hailing the demonetisation move as a step that will reap benefits in the long term, Modi said, “[The] government will continue with sound economic policies to ensure India’s bright future in [the] long run. No decisions for short-term political gains.” The prime minister was in Raigad, Maharashtra, to inaugurate a new campus for the National Institute of Securities Markets.

Modi said that India is being looked upon as a “bright spot” and he credited the “well-regulated” securities marets for this. “To see how far we’ve travelled, we should look back to 2012-13, when the currency was falling sharply,” said Modi, adding that the government still has a long way to go.

He said, “Our stock markets need to raise capital in innovative ways for [the] agricultural sector.” The prime minister urged those who profit from the financial markets to make “a fair contribution” to nation building by paying their taxes on time. “The true measure of success is the impact in villages, not the impact on Dalal Street or Lutyens’ Delhi,” he added. The prime minister said the government is keen to encourage startups and highlighted the role of stock markets for the “startup ecosystem”.

Modi further said the long-awaited Goods and Services Tax, which will soon become a reality, will be a game-changer. On Friday, the GST council representatives agreed that states will be paid 100% compensation for loss of revenue every two months from the time the new tax regime is rolled out for a period of five years. However, the subjects of dual control and cross-empowerment remained unresolved.

Later in the day, the prime minister visited south Mumbai to inaugurate the Maharashtra government’s controversial mid-sea Shivaji memorial. On board a ship, Modi performed the ‘jal pujan’ ritual for Chhatrapati Shivaji memorial. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis were present on the occasion. The planned memorial will include a statue, museum, amphitheatre and jetties. Modi also paid floral tribute to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue and laid the foundation stone for two metro corridors and other projects.

However, the fishing community of Mumbai has been opposing the 192-metre high Shivaji memorial ever since it was announced in 2010. They said that the location of the memorial is a breeding ground for at least 32 species of the city’s most commonly eaten fish. According to them, building the memorial will effectively rob thousands of fishing families of their livelihoods.

Correction imo 2025 at the extreme latest, China is on the cusp.

In 2025, China should eliminate the most abject poverty. They still have a long way to go.Even South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong are still developing economies. The people in these countries must still work hard just to survive. India, on the other hand, should have white servants by 2030.

Disagree, poverty is prevalent even in developed economies, it is impossible to eliminate it. SK, TW and HK are still developed if not like China on the verge of full blown 1st world status.

As for India, despite the immaturity of quite a few posters on here and by and large some idiots (some of which happen to be in the media business) who took a former President's vision to full blown hard-on levels bordering on mental masturbation, it is unfair and quite harsh to presume that the educated majority want or need caucasian domestic help.

As far as the uneducated unfortunates who keep falling for this ridiculous dream of 'white servants' pandered to them along with visions of hyperaccelerated development by a by and large unrestrained media (who are by and large due for a severe culling and regulatory overseeing) whose basic idea of qualifying for a position in journalism is 'who tells a better story than the other', they will always be the ones holding India back from letting the visionaries in top governmental, scientific, economical and educational positions from reaching even semi-developed status.

In that sense i can definitely admire the Chinese model, and hope India follows the same route. That is my only response to blatant attempts at trolling.
