He said the government holds women empowerment paramount, and this is exemplified by Ujjwala yojana on the one hand and Drone Didi on the other. On the topic of farmer welfare, Mr Thakur said that it was the current government that implemented the Swaminathan Committee report. Furthermore, the government has spent 2.8 lakh crore so far on farmers’ prosperity, he added.

Transparency and accountability are the motto of the government and it is this ethos that has carried India from one of the Fragile Five economies once upon a time to the fifth largest economy of the world today. The spirit of these values flows from the very top under the leadership of PM Modi, he added.

Mr Thakur said that as 2023 ends, 2024 is bringing a new dawn of opportunities. The world is looking towards India with a sense of hope, the world is looking up to India for its leadership.
