Highlighting country`s development journey, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said despite experiencing many shortcomings today, India will be a developed nation by 2047. Prime Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth around Rs 4,400 crore in Bhuj. Earlier, he also inaugurated Smriti Van Memorial here.
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said, "When I say from the ramparts of the Red Fort that India will be a developed country by 2047, you can see that amidst death and disaster, we made some resolutions and we realized them today. Similarly, what we resolve today, we will surely realize in 2047." He that Smriti Van Memorial in Bhuj and Veer Bal Smarak at Anjar are the symbols of shared pain of Kutch, Gujarat and the entire country. He recalled when the concept of Anjar Memorial came up and a resolution was taken for completing the memorial via voluntary work, `Kar Seva`. He said that these memorials are being dedicated with a heavy heart in the remembrance of the lives lost in the devastating earthquake.
