01:03Jindobre.
01:06All of you have come from different parts of Poland.
01:16All of you have different languages, languages,
01:22but all of you are connected to the feeling of being an Indian.
01:39You have welcomed us so wonderfully.
01:44I am very grateful to all of you, to the people of Poland, for this welcome.
02:02Friends, for the last one week, you have been spreading in the media of India.
02:21There is a lot of discussion about the people of Poland.
02:29And a lot is being said about Poland.
02:37And there is one more headline.
02:42And it is being said in the media that after 45 years,
02:47a Prime Minister of India has come to Poland.
03:03A lot of good work is in my fate.
03:20A few months ago, I went to Austria.
03:26Even there, after four decades, a Prime Minister of India had reached there.
03:39There are many such countries where for decades,
03:46no Prime Minister of India has reached.
03:57But now, the situation is different.
04:05For decades, India's policy was to maintain equal distance from all the countries.
04:19Today, India's policy is to build a river from all the countries.
04:38Today, India wants to connect with everyone.
04:45Today, India talks about the development of everyone.
04:52Today, India is with everyone and thinks about everyone's well-being.
05:01We are proud that today, the world is giving India respect as a global ally.
05:15You are also getting the same experience here, right?
05:21My information is correct, isn't it?
05:26My information is correct, isn't it?
05:33Friends, for us, this is not a matter of geopolitics.
05:40In fact, it is a matter of values.
05:47Those who have not found a place anywhere,
05:52India has given them a place in both its heart and land.
06:02This is our heritage, which every Indian is proud of.
06:20Poland has always been a witness to India's eternal spirit.
06:33Even today, everyone in Poland knows our Jam Sahib by the name of Dobry, i.e. Good Maharaja.
06:48During World War II, when Poland was surrounded by difficulties,
07:05when thousands of Polish women and children were wandering from place to place for shelter,
07:15then Jam Sahib, Digvijay Singh, Ranjit Singh, and Jadheja came forward.
07:28They had set up a special camp for Polish women and children.
07:39Jam Sahib said to the Polish children of the camp,
07:45just as the people of Nowa Nagar call me Bapu,
07:54similarly, I am your Bapu.
08:00Friends, I have been meeting Jam Sahib's family quite often.
08:13I have been very fond of them.
08:18A few months ago, I went to meet Jam Sahib.
08:27He still has a picture of Poland in his room.
08:34And I feel good to see that the path Jam Sahib has made is still alive in Poland.
08:47Two decades ago, when there was a terrible earthquake in Gujarat,
09:00Jam Nagar was also affected.
09:07At that time, Poland was one of the first countries to reach out for help.
09:16Even here in Poland, people have given a lot of respect to Jam Sahib and his family.
09:39This love has been seen clearly in Good Maharaja Square for years.
09:48A while ago, I also had the opportunity to visit the Dobre Maharaja Memorial and the Kolhapur Memorial.
10:01In this special moment, I would like to give you a piece of information.
10:09India is going to start the Jam Sahib Memorial Youth Action Program.
10:19Under this, India will invite 20 police officers to come to India every year.
10:40This will give the youth of Poland a chance to know more about India.
10:55Friends, the Kolhapur Memorial here is also a tribute to the great royal family of Kolhapur.
11:15It is also a tribute to the citizens of Maharashtra and to the Marathi culture.
11:45The Marathi culture, human dharma, and the way of life are the most important.
11:59With the inspiration of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the royal family of Kolhapur gave shelter to the women and children of Poland.
12:16A huge camp was also set up there.
12:23The people of Maharashtra united day and night for the safety of the women and children of Poland.
12:36Friends, today I had the opportunity to give a speech at the Monte Cassino Memorial.
12:46This memorial also reminds us of the sacrifices of thousands of Indian soldiers.
12:57This is also proof of how the Indians have fulfilled their duty in every corner of the world.
13:08Friends, India of the 21st century is proud of its old values and heritage and is moving forward on the path of development.
13:26Today, the world knows India because of the qualities that the Indians have proven to the world.
13:48We Indians are known for our efforts, excellence, and empathy.
14:00Wherever we go in the world, we Indians seem to be making maximum efforts.
14:15Whether it is entrepreneurship, caregivers, or our service sector, the Indians are making their country proud with their efforts.
14:35I am telling you this for the first time.
14:57You must be thinking that I am talking about a third country.
15:05In the whole world, we Indians are known for our excellence.
15:12Whether it is the IT sector or Indian doctors, all of them are proud of their excellence.
15:23There is a huge group of Indians in front of me.
15:40Friends, we Indians are known for our empathy.
15:48India is the first country in the world to raise its hand for help.
16:00COVID-19 is the biggest calamity in the world.
16:12So India said, humanity first.
16:17We have sent medicines and vaccines to more than 150 countries in the world.
16:31Wherever there is an earthquake in the world, there is a natural disaster.
16:39There is only one mantra of India, humanity first.
16:47Wherever there is a war, India says, humanity first.
16:56With this feeling, India helps all the citizens of the world.
17:04India always comes forward as a fourth responder.
17:13Friends, India is the land of Buddha's legacy.
17:21When it comes to Buddha, India believes in peace, not war.
17:38Therefore, India is also a great follower of permanent peace in this region.
18:00India's motto is very clear.
18:03This is not the age of war.
18:16This is the time to come together to deal with those challenges.
18:23These are the biggest threats to humanity.
18:30That is why India is giving strength to diplomacy and dialogue.
18:39Friends, we have all seen how you helped our children who were trapped in Ukraine.
19:00You served them a lot.
19:06You set up a langar.
19:09You opened the doors of your house.
19:13You opened restaurants.
19:16The government of Poland even removed visa-related restrictions for our students.
19:22That is, Poland opened doors for our children with all its heart.
19:37Even today, when I meet children returning from Ukraine,
19:42they praise the people of Poland and you a lot.
19:52That is why today, on behalf of 140 crore Indians,
20:08I welcome all of you, the people of Poland.
20:15I salute you.
20:22Friends, there are many similarities between the societies of India and Poland.
20:37A big similarity is that of our democracy.
20:44India is the mother of democracy.
20:50It is also a participative and vibrant democracy.
20:59The people of India have unwavering faith in democracy.
21:06We have seen this faith even in recent elections.
21:13These were the biggest elections in history.
21:23The European Union has also been elected.
21:28About 180 million voters voted.
21:35India has voted more than three times.
21:41About 640 million voters voted.
21:54Thousands of political parties participated in these elections.
22:01About 8000 candidates participated.
22:07More than 5 million voting machines.
22:12More than 1 million polling stations.
22:17More than 15 million employees.
22:21The management of this scale,
22:25the level of efficiency,
22:28and the level of trust in elections,
22:32is a great strength of India.
22:42When people hear the statistics of the world,
22:47they get dizzy.
22:51Friends, we know how to live and celebrate India's diversity.
23:09That is why we easily get lost in every society.
23:18In Poland, there is an old tradition of knowing, understanding and studying about India.
23:26We can see this even in the universities here.
23:32Many of you must have been to the main library of Warsaw University.
23:39There, we welcome all of you.
23:56Whether you are Tamil or Sanskrit,
24:01there are many people here who study such Indian languages.
24:08In the universities here, there are chairs related to Indian studies.
24:16There is a connection between Poland and India through Kabaddi.
24:27You also know that Kabaddi is played in every village in India.
24:34Kabaddi is played in Poland.
24:39The people of Poland have elevated Kabaddi to a new level.
24:45Poland has been the champion of European Kabaddi for two consecutive years.
24:51I have been told that Kabaddi is going to be the champion once again from 24th August.
25:11And for the first time, Poland is hosting it.
25:22I would like to extend my best wishes to the Polish Kabaddi team through you.
25:34Friends, a few days ago, you celebrated the Independence Day here.
25:43During the independence movement, our freedom fighters saw the dream of a prosperous India.
25:54Today, every Indian is working hard to realize that dream.
26:04India has set itself the goal of making itself a developed country by 2047.
26:24Therefore, today's India is working on an unprecedented scale, speed and solutions.
26:45You will be proud to hear about the scale and speed of change in India.
26:57In the last 10 years, 250 million people have come out of poverty in India.
27:27250 million is more than the total population of France, Germany and the UK.
27:41In the last 10 years, we have built 40 million houses for the poor.
28:00And we are going to build 30 million more houses.
28:06And if there are 14 million households in Poland today,
28:17then in just one decade, we have built three new Polands.
28:48We have taken financial inclusion to the next level.
28:56In the last 10 years, we have opened 500 million Jandan Bank accounts in India.
29:07This number is more than the population of the entire European Union.
29:17This number is more than the population of the entire European Union.
29:29Every day, there is a digital transaction with UPI in India.
29:37This number is more than the population of the entire European Union.
29:50The government gives free health insurance to Indians for 5 lakh rupees.
29:57In the last decade, the number of broadband users in India has increased from 60 million to 940 million.
30:19This number is more than the population of Europe and the United States.
30:32Today, India uses broadband.
30:39In the last decade, 7 lakh kilometers of optical fiber has been installed.
30:57This is equivalent to circling the earth 70 times.
31:09This is equivalent to circling the earth 70 times.
31:18Within two years, India has delivered 5G networks to every district of the country.
31:28Now, we are working on the Made in India 6G network.
31:38Now, we are working on the Made in India 6G network.
31:52Friends, the scale of India's transformation can also be seen in public transport.
32:03In 2014, there was an operational metro in 5 cities of India.
32:14Today, there is an operational metro in 20 cities.
32:19Today, one third of the population of Poland travels by metro train.
32:37Friends, whatever India does, it becomes a new record.
32:57You have seen that India has launched more than 100 satellites at the same time.
33:17This is also a record in itself.
33:25Two days later, on 23rd August, there is National Space Day.
33:35You also know.
33:38Do you remember?
33:41What do you remember?
33:43On this day, India landed its moon in the south pole of the moon.
34:00Where no country has reached, India has reached.
34:15And the name of that place is...
34:18The name of that place is...
34:21The name of that place is...
34:24The name of that place is...
34:27India is the third largest startup ecosystem in the world.
34:34Friends, India has a population of 16-17%.
34:45But according to the population, India's share in global growth was not as much as before.
34:57Now the situation is changing rapidly.
35:02In 2023, India's share in global growth was more than 16%.
35:13Today, every agency in the world is predicting India's bright future.
35:32And they are not astrologers.
35:35They calculate according to numbers.
35:40They calculate on the basis of ground realities.
35:45Now India is not far from becoming the third largest economy in the world.
36:11I have promised the people of the country that India will become the third largest economy in my third term.
36:27In the coming years, the world is going to witness India's great economic boom.
36:45Nescom predicts that India will become the economy of $1 trillion by the end of this decade due to its digital infrastructure.
37:00Nescom and Boston Consulting Group predict that India's AI market will grow at a rate of 30-35% in the coming 3-4 years.
37:31There is great positivity about India on all fronts.
37:39Today, India is working on the Semiconductor Mission, Deep Ocean Mission, National Green Hydrogen Mission, National Quantum Mission and AI Mission.
37:58So that India will be far ahead in the coming decades.
38:09India is also preparing to establish its own space station in the coming years.
38:19And that day is not far when you will see the astronauts of India going to space in a made-in-India spacecraft.
38:49Friends, the entire focus of India today is on quality manufacturing and quality manpower.
39:00These are two things that are very important for the global supply chain.
39:07In the recent budget, we have focused a lot on the skilling and job creation of our youth.
39:17A large number of our young people have come here to study.
39:23We are committed to making India a center of education, research and innovation.
39:32Whether it is technology, medical care or education, India has taken up the task of creating skilled manpower in every sector of the world.
39:51I will give you an example of the sports sector.
40:01In the last 10 years, we have built more than 300 new medical colleges in India.
40:09In the last 10 years, the number of medical seats in India has doubled.
40:16In the last 10 years, we have added 75,000 new medical seats to our medical system.
40:30In the next 5 years, we aim to add another 75,000 new medical seats.
40:39This will strengthen India's role as a quality health service provider.
40:51We have only one message to the world.
40:56We will say, Heal in India.
41:04We are preparing for this.
41:07Friends, innovation and youth are going to boost the development of both India and Poland.
41:18I have come to you today with good news.
41:25India and Poland have reached an agreement on a social security agreement.
41:36Crowd chants โ Modi, Modi, Modi
41:54All of you are going to benefit from this agreement.
42:01Crowd chants โ Yes
42:04Friends, India's vision is global.
42:09India's culture is global.
42:16India's care and compassion is global.
42:20Our ancestors have given us the mantra of Vasudhaiva Kutumkam.
42:28We have considered the whole world to be a family.
42:32This can be seen in India's policies and decisions today.
42:40During G20, India called for one earth, one family and one future.
42:51In this spirit, there is a guarantee of a better future for the 21st century world.
42:58India wants to connect the world with the concept of one sun, one world and one greed.
43:12It is India that considers one earth, one health to be the guarantee of a healthy world.
43:21One health means our focus should be on holistic well-being.
43:28Our focus should be on the health of our animals and plants.
43:41The kind of situation we are seeing today, the concept of one health has become more important.
43:54India has given a model of mission life, lifestyle for the environment to the world.
44:04You must have heard about a big campaign going on in India.
44:11This campaign is called Ek Paid Maa Ke Naam.
44:23Today, crores of Indians are paying homage to their mother who gave birth to them.
44:32This is also protecting the mother earth.
44:40Friends, India's priority today is the balance between economy and ecology.
44:51It is India that is moving forward with the concept of developed nation and net zero nation.
45:08India is working on a 360 degree approach for a green future.
45:17Green mobility is a great example of this.
45:21We are very close to 20% ethanol blending in petrol.
45:31India is expanding electric mobility at a rapid pace.
45:38Electric vehicle sales in India are increasing at a rapid pace every year.
45:47Last year, EV sales grew by more than 40%.
45:56That day is not far when India will become a global center of EV manufacturing and innovation.
46:07In the coming time, you will see India as a global hub of green hydrogen.
46:18Friends, I am happy to see that India and Poland are building partnerships in areas like new technology and clean energy.
46:39Many Indian companies have invested here and created jobs.
46:47Many Polish companies have created opportunities in India.
46:51Tomorrow, I will meet President Duda and Prime Minister Trustee.
47:00These meetings will strengthen India-Poland partnership.
47:15Prime Minister Trustee is a good friend of India.
47:21I have met him many times when he was the President of the European Council.
47:29Friends, today India is committed to writing a developed future with one voice and one intention.
47:40Today, India is a land of opportunities.
47:45You also have to join India's growth story.
47:52You also have to become a brand ambassador of tourism in India.
48:09What will you do?
48:13You will post your picture on social media.
48:16You will sit in front of Taj Mahal.
48:24Being a brand ambassador means that you have to send at least 5 police officers to India every year.
48:47Will you do that?
48:51You should give me at least this much homework.
49:00Your every effort will help to make your India a developed India.
49:07Friends, once again, I would like to thank all of you for coming here.
49:23Hail Mother India!
49:36Thank you very much.
