Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday inaugurated a three-day mega event on ‘Panch Pran’ of Prime Minister Narendra Modi here and said these five resolves will make India a developed country by 2047. “In 2047, when we celebrate 100 years of Independence, India will have the world's youngest and most skilled workforce,” he said. The event is being organised by the University of Jammu in collaboration with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts, Hindustan Samachar and Cluster University of Jammu.
Talking about Amrit Kaal and Prime Minister's Panch Pran, Sinha said the five resolves -- resolve to move the country ahead as a developed India, eradicating the mentality of slavery, be proud of India’s heritage and legacy, strength of unity and solidarity and duties of citizens towards the nation -- will make India a developed country by 2047. "Today we are the fifth largest economy in the world and in next 25 years, we will be a USD 26 trillion economy," he said. The Lt Governor called upon the citizens and all stakeholders to adopt the Panch Pran call given by Modi to move towards the golden era and to build a prosperous and welfare society.
