Prime Minister Narendra Modi
To the PM, who is also a global icon who works nearly 20 hours a day, First India wishes many many happy returns of the day. Happy Birth day Mr PM!
eldom does it happen that life brings forth an individual who does things in his or her own style and who brings about a radical change in whatever field the said individual happens to be functioning in. However, such individuals are extremely rare when it comes to politics. But 72 years ago, on September 17, 1950, a child was born in the house of a tea-seller in Gujarat who, as time progressed changed the po litical landscape of the nation and had to his distinction a his torical achievement of staying in various political offices for over two decades! Needless to say, this individual, who has never lost an election, is Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has, in his eighth year as PM, achieved what his predecessors had long dreamt of taking the nation to. Modi has emerged as the Number One world leader; a leader who has gone past even more ‘powerful’ leaders, wheth er in economic or military might, when it comes to public approval.Forthe third time in a row, recently PM Modi was yet again crowned the undisputed ‘World Leader’ passing the likes of American President Joe Biden, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, Mexican President An
dres Manuel Lopez Obrador or Canadian Prime Minister Jus tinItTrudeau.isModi’s warm-hearted de meanor and the ability to take along even the opposing na tions along over issues that benefit the world, that has earned him the respect and ad miration of his peers. His warm, long hugs to these peers seem to have been the thaw that was needed in international re lations. But Modi has not been all rosy, rather it is his carrot and stick approach that has resonated with the other world leader, especially those from the western block.

JAI KISAN, JAI VIGYAN AS WELL AS JAI ANUSANDHAN
S QUOTETOP OF THE SPEECH
Innovation can be encouraged by laying emphasis on the creation of more and more scientific institutions and simplification of processes by the state governments
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
cience is like that energy in the de velopment of 21st century India, which has the po tential to acceler ate the develop ment of every re gion and every state. At a time when India is on the verge of leading the fourth industrial revolution, the role of India’s science and people associ ated with this field is very impor tant. In such a situation, the re sponsibility of the policy-makers and those of us who are associ ated with governance and ad ministration increases. I hope this brainstorming session in the Science City of Ahmedabad will give you new inspiration and will fill you with enthusiasm to encourage science.
WITH
One thing we must remember is that when we celebrate art, we also inspire and create more new artists. When we celebrate sports, we inspire and create new players as well. Similarly, when we celebrate the achieve ments of our scientists, science becomes a natural part of our society and it becomes a part of culture. Therefore, today I urge all the people who have come from all the states to celebrate and glorify the achievements of the scientists of our country. At every step, the scientists of our country are also giving us this opportunity through their dis coveries. If India has been able to develop vaccines for corona and has been able to administer more than 200 crore vaccine doses, there is a huge potential of our scientists behind it. Sim ilarly, today the scientists of India are doing wonders in eve ry field. By celebrating every small and big achievement of scientists of India, the aptitude that will develop towards sci ence in the country will help us a lot in this ‘Amrit Kaal’.
PM Narendra Modi addresses at the inauguration of the ‘Centre-State Science Conclave’ in Ahmedabad, Gujarat through video conferencing, in Delhi on Saturday. Time to celebrate success of our scientists! Science, technology and innovation are in the DNA of today’s young generation. He adapts to technology very fast. We have to support this young generation with all our might. In today’s new India, new sectors are being opened up in the field of research and innovation for the younger generation. Be it Space Mission, Deep Ocean Mission, National Super Computing Mission, Semiconductor Mission, Mission Hydrogen, Drone Technology, work is going on at a rapid pace on many such missions.

investment in the field of sci ence and technology. Due to the efforts of the government, India is ranked 46th in the Global In novation Index today, whereas India was at 81 position in 2015. We have covered the distance from 81 to 46 in such a short time, but we do not have to stop here, we have to aim higher now. Today a record number of pat ents are being granted in India and new innovations are taking place. You can see that today so many start-ups from the field of science are attending this con clave. The wave of start-ups in the country is telling us about how fast the change is coming. There are many national lev el scientific institutes and labo ratories in the states. The states should take full advantage of their ability and expertise. We also have to take our science related institutions out of the state of silos. Optimum utiliza tion of all scientific institutions is equally necessary for better utilization of the state’s poten tial and resources. You should also increase the number of such programs in your states which take science and technol ogy forward at the grassroots level. But we also have to keep one thing in mind. For example, science festivals are held in many states but it is also true that many schools do not par ticipate in it. We should find the reasons and make more schools part of such science festivals.
Science is the basis of solutions, evolution and innovation
Science is like that energy in the development of 21st century India, which has the power to accelerate the development of every region and state

If we remember the early dec ades of the last century, we find how the world was going through a period of devastation and tragedy. But even at that time, scientists everywhere, whether in the East or the West, were engaged in their signifi cant discoveries. In the West, many such scientists like Ein stein, Fermi, Max Planck, Niels Bohr and Tesla were surprising the world with their experi ments. In the same period, countless Indian scientists like CV Raman, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Satyendra Nath Bose, Meghnad Saha, S Chandrashek har, among others, were coming forward with their new discov eries. All these scientists opened many avenues to improve the future. But a major difference between East and West was that
