00:00This is the best place to set up the Cassinus mine, we have an interconnected grid across
00:16the country.
00:17No other part of the world has such a large interconnected grid as India does, which helps
00:23you get resilience and better quality power, and with this huge focus on renewable energy,
00:30you can have green data centres in India, promoting the revolution on AI, promoting
00:38a digital revolution that the world already respects in India.
00:44And lastly, my friends, empowerment.
00:49We are focused on empowering the women of India.
00:55We are focused on women-led development.
00:58We have already seen a significant bump up in the engagement of women in our formal workforce.
01:07We hope to take it right up to 50%, which is rightfully their view.
01:13Even in parliament and legislature now, we will have 33% compulsory representation of
01:20women.
01:21In fact, India gave women franchise rights as we became independent, unlike many other
01:29parts of the world, which took a long time to respect women's rights.
01:35I don't know whether I should comment on another country's politics, but on a roundabout way
01:42I can say many countries are still not ready to see a woman leader at the helm of a country.
01:51But it's important to recognise that when we empower 140 crore Indians, including our
01:59sisters and daughters, we are providing a huge workforce, huge talent, huge skill sets,
02:09which will hold us in good stead as the country rises to become a developed nation, a prosperous
02:16nation by 24%.
02:19And if the five defining elements have to be briefly touched upon, I think India offers
02:27decisive leadership.
02:29India offers the demographic limited.
02:34Our average population is under 30 years old, expected to be under 30 for the next 30 years.
02:42This young population is to be outstripped.
02:46On the back of our demographic dividend, with that decisive leadership, that demand, that
02:551.4 billion empowered, and the growing middle class in India will provide the democracy
03:07which is our strength, the rule of law, which protects investments, which protects the people
03:15of India, vibrant media, strong judiciary, oversight of the people of India through elections
03:24every five years where you can choose and re-elect a government which has done well
03:31and the diversity that India has brought.
03:36These five P's, decisive leadership, demographic dividend, demand, democracy and diversity
03:50will help India rise from a $4.5-$4 trillion economy today to a $30-$35 trillion economy
04:00by 2047, a country that will be at the forefront of all the themes of today's modern India
04:11economic forum, which will be at the forefront of India's economic vision.
04:17And I invite all of you to be a part of this journey from the India of 2024-25 to the India
04:27of 2047, a compulsive, must-participate journey.
04:33You won't get a better opportunity than this.
04:36Be a part of it.
04:38Enjoy the fruits of it.
04:40Thank you very much.
04:47Yeah. Bye, Riya.
