▪️The 2047 deadline does not mean that we have to wait until then. Think back to India’s freedom movement. The goal of Purna Swaraj was not something that could be achieved in a day or two. ▪️But gradually, smaller milestones were set and achieved. This strengthened people’s belief that independence was indeed possible, and the entire nation united behind this resolve. ▪️It is this same collective confidence that will take us towards the goal of a #ViksitBharat. We can achieve the vision of a developed India only by moving forward, accomplishing numerous goals, both big and small, along the way. - Prime Minister @narendramodi
