Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed the media today at the Parliament premises, marking the commencement of the 2025 Budget Session. In his opening remarks, the Prime Minister paid homage to Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of prosperity, and sought her blessings for the welfare of the nation, particularly for the poor and middle-class communities. He emphasized that this session holds special significance as it is the first full budget session of his third term in office.
Reflecting on India’s 75th year as a Republic, PM Modi expressed immense pride in the nation’s democratic achievements, which he noted have garnered global recognition. He reiterated his government’s commitment to comprehensive development—geographically, socially, and economically—and outlined a roadmap for India’s transformation into a developed nation by 2047, when the country celebrates 100 years of independence.

The Prime Minister highlighted that his government is working in “mission mode” to ensure inclusive growth. He stressed the importance of innovation, inclusion, and investment as the cornerstones of India’s economic strategy. Several historic bills and proposals are set to be discussed during this session, aimed at strengthening the nation’s legal and social framework. A key focus will be on empowering women, ensuring equal rights, and re-establishing their dignity, free from religious and sectarian biases.
PM Modi outlined the mantra of “reform, perform, and transform” as essential for rapid development. He called for seamless collaboration between state and central governments to deliver results, emphasizing that public participation is crucial for achieving transformative change. “The next 25 years will be dedicated to realizing the vision of a prosperous and developed India,” he declared.
The Prime Minister highlighted India’s demographic advantage, noting that the youth aged 20-25 today will be the driving force behind the nation’s progress. By 2047, they will be in key leadership positions, shaping policies and steering India into its next century as a developed nation. He drew parallels between the youth who fought for independence in the 1930s and 1940s and the current generation, which he said will reap the benefits of a developed India. “This is our gift to the young generation,” he added.
In a notable observation, PM Modi pointed out that this is perhaps the first parliamentary session since 2014 where there have been no attempts by foreign entities to create disturbances. He remarked that over the past decade, such disruptions were common before every session, but this time, the session has begun without any external interference.

As the 2025 Budget Session begins, the Prime Minister expressed confidence that the deliberations and decisions made during this session will instill new energy and confidence among the 140 crore citizens of India. He reiterated his government’s unwavering commitment to achieving the goal of a developed India by 2047, calling it a collective resolution of the nation.
The session is expected to focus on key legislative reforms, economic policies, and social initiatives aimed at accelerating India’s growth trajectory. With the Prime Minister’s vision and the collective efforts of the government, the nation looks forward to a transformative decade ahead.
