Our nation is facing a major challenge of uplifting 260 million people who are below poverty line and we have to give better life for many millions who are on border line of poverty or just above the poverty line. To meet the needs of one billion people we have the mission of transforming India into a developed nation …. We have identified five areas where India has a core competence on integrated action for agriculture, food processing, education and health care, reliable and quality electric power, surface transport and infrastructure for all parts of the country, information technology and other strategic sectors

The right signal is that technology is going to boost (economic) development of our nation

Even where we have taken action against terrorists through political, military and police methods, we have not been able to find the solution in full and the solutions are evading. In all our action, I believe, we have to consider injection of certain higher elements

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them

It means, people who are in high and responsible positions, if they go against righteousness, righteousness itself will get transformed into a destroyer

We are firmly committed to helping Mauritius overcome this temporary phase and India can be a partner and can fully share its experiences, particularly in the areas of sugar and textile with you
