Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the nation from the Red Fort on India’s 80th Independence Day on Saturday, said the country has set itself a “big dream” of becoming a Viksit Bharat by the time it marks 100 years of independence in 2047.
Modi said India became independent with several dreams but could not maintain the pace of development for several decades. He said the country had entered the group of the “Fragile Five” economies by 2014, but had accelerated its progress over the last twelve years.
