PM Modi inaugurates Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugartated Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. “ This is the first and unique event when the doors of investment are opening in the Northeast on such a large scale. This is a great opportunity for the farmers, artisans and craftsmen of the Northeast as well as investors from all over the world. I congratulate the organisers of the Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav, the residents of all the states of the Northeast and all the guests who have come here, and wish them all the best,” Modi said.

“The Western world has played a huge role in India’s growth story. After this west-centric period, it’s said that the 21st century belongs to the East. It belongs to Asia. It belongs to India. I’m convinced that that time will belong especially to Eastern India,” Modi said.

“The 21st century belongs to the East, to Asia, to the East, to India. In such a situation, I firmly believe that the coming times in India also belong to Eastern India, to our Northeast. In the past decades, we have seen the emergence of big cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chennai… In the coming decades, we are going to see new potential in cities like Agartala, Guwahati, Gangtok, Aizawl, Shillong, Itanagar, Kohima. Events like Ashtalakshmi will play a very important role in this.” Modi said.

Modi said that natural resources are plentiful in northeast India. There is an amazing confluence of minerals, oil, and biodiversity in the northeast. It has huge potential for renewable energy. This Dhanlaxmi is a blessing for the northeast.

“For a long time we have seen how development was measured by the number of votes. The Northeast had fewer votes, fewer seats, so development there was not given attention by previous governments. During Atal Ji’s government, a separate ministry was created for the development of the Northeast. In the last decade, we have tried to reduce the feeling of distance between Delhi and the heart.” Modi said
