Prime Minister
of India Shri Narendra Modi is on his 5 days official visit to United
States of America. He has visited 7th time to the country but the 1st
time after he became Prime Minister of India. On his 2nd day of visit,
he gave speech at United Nations Headquarter in New York, United States of America. On 3rd day of visit, he gave speech at Madison Square Garden, New York where about 20,000 people became witnesses for his speech. This is one of largest events held in Madison Square Garden which is organized by Indian-American Community Foundation. People had passion to see and hear the voice of Narendra Modi and even this passion reached at a level that all the seats of Madison Square Garden booked or filled just within two weeks which was never happened in the history for any other event. The special arrangements have been also made for live telecast of his speech at various locations whereas in India the Live Screens arranged only in International Cricket Matches, I have never seen such of passion in the people towards any politician. In other words, I can say that till now no other Indian politician can receive such type of praise or love in any other country. This fact becomes more important when it happens in World’s most famous country i.e. United States of America. Not only Indian-Americans, Pakistani-American and people of other countries were also present to see the Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi. When he came into the hall, all hall started shouting with slogan ‘Modi Modi’.
Modi started his speech with Bharat Mata Ki Jai. He gave the speech for about 70
minutes. During this speech, he thanked to all Indian-Americans who were present in the Madison Square Garden and also thanked the people who gathered
outside the Garden. In his speech, he summarized of his work as the Prime
Minister and also told about the upcoming projects, schemes etc. which will be
launched surely in the near future. He also told the difference of his work and
last government’s work with the example that the last governments made many
more laws with the hope to give the benefit and harassment free services but
that laws now becoming the waste product and I create the special committee of
experts and gave the directions to end the waste and old laws.
He gave brief
description about recently launched Yojana i.e. Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana.
He mentions that about 4 Crore families have opened their account under the
Yojana and Rs.1500 Crore have been deposited by them whereas there were no terms and conditions to deposit some rupee to open the account. In my opinion, he
tried to say that the Yojana became very successful which will be very helpful
and will give benefits to the people of India in the near future. He also gave
brief description about the Ganga Plan to clean the River Ganga which is one of
the largest rivers of India (also flowing in Bangladesh) and its length about
2525 km.
He told about the campaign called ‘Make In India’ and also invite
everyone includes Indian-Americans to invest in India with lost cost
production. He told that now India is the destination of investment. He told
about the site launched recently i.e. www.mygov.in
and requested the people to follow him after going through the site. He discussed that 65% of the population in India is below 35 years.
Modi also announced 4 schemes which will become
beneficial to the NRIs.
- People of Indian Origin (POI) cardholders get lifelong visas.
- PIO and OCI schemes will be merged shortly and will be create a new scheme.
- Visa on Arrival in India
- NRIs oftenly should visit the concerned police stations but now there is no need to visit the police station.
At the end, it
is very important to mention here that there is 1% population of America is consists of Indian-Americans.
