Reforms and Global: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday described the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament as a defining moment in India’s long-term development journey, saying it reflects the government’s commitment to sustained reforms and solutions-oriented governance. Speaking to the media ahead of the session, he underlined that the country is steadily moving toward the goal of Viksit Bharat 2047, with policy decisions increasingly shaped by future readiness rather than short-term considerations.
The Prime Minister drew attention to the President’s address delivered at the start of the session, noting that it echoed the expectations and confidence of India’s 1.4 billion citizens. He said the address clearly outlined the responsibilities of lawmakers and expressed hope that Members of Parliament would engage with these expectations in a constructive manner. According to him, Parliament remains central to shaping a shared national vision rooted in democratic values.
Highlighting the passage of the first 25 years of the 21st century, Mr. Modi said India has now entered a decisive phase that will influence its global standing and domestic progress over the next quarter century. He described the period leading up to 2047 as a time that will determine how effectively India positions itself in the international order while addressing internal priorities such as growth, inclusion, and institutional strength.
Referring to the role of Nirmala Sitharaman, the Prime Minister noted that she is set to present the Union Budget for the ninth consecutive time. He called this a noteworthy milestone in India’s parliamentary history, saying it reflects continuity in economic policymaking and institutional stability during a period of global uncertainty.
Mr. Modi also linked the opening of the Budget Session with progress on the India–European Union Free Trade Agreement, describing it as a sign of growing international confidence in India. He said ongoing engagement with the European Union demonstrates how India’s economy and workforce are increasingly viewed as reliable and competitive partners on the global stage.
The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Indian manufacturers and exporters would use the trade agreement to strengthen their global presence. He stressed that success in open markets depends not only on lower tariffs but on maintaining high quality standards. According to him, improved market access to 27 European countries could also create new avenues for farmers, young professionals, and service-sector enterprises seeking international exposure.
While acknowledging that public attention during the session naturally centers on budgetary measures, Mr. Modi reiterated that the government’s broader philosophy continues to rest on reform, performance, and transformation. He said legislative cooperation has helped accelerate reforms, allowing the government to move beyond long-pending issues and implement durable policy frameworks that enhance predictability and investor trust.
Addressing the role of innovation, the Prime Minister said technology would remain a key driver of governance and economic growth, but without losing sight of human priorities. He emphasized that digital adoption would be guided by constitutional values and aimed at improving service delivery, particularly at the grassroots level. The objective, he said, is to ensure that policy outcomes translate into tangible benefits for citizens.
Concluding his remarks, Mr. Modi said India’s democratic institutions and demographic strengths continue to attract global attention. He noted that differing opinions are an essential part of parliamentary democracy, but added that there is broad recognition of the government’s focus on last-mile delivery. He said India is increasingly known for timely decision-making, a factor that enhances its credibility and relevance worldwide.
