Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended and inaugurated Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 in Jaipur. Modi gave the inaugural speech at the event. Here are 11 key points from the Prime Minister's speech in Jaipur on first day of Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit:

• Today, every expert and investor around the world is excited about India. Following the mantra of Reform, Perform, Transform, the development India has achieved is visible in every sector.

• After independence, in seven decades, India became the 11th largest economy in the world. However, in the last 10 years, India has progressed from the 11th largest economy to the 5th largest economy in the world.

• In the past 10 years, India has nearly doubled its economy. During this period, India’s exports have also almost doubled. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the past decade has been more than double compared to the decade before 2014.

• The power of democracy, demographics, digital data, and delivery is evident in India’s success. In such a diverse country, the strength of democracy is itself a great achievement.

• While being democratic, the welfare of humanity is India's core character. Today, the people of India are voting for a stable government through their democratic rights. This ancient Indian value is being carried forward by our youth.

• For many years to come, India will be one of the youngest countries in the world. India will not only have the largest pool of youth but also the largest skilled young workforce. The government is taking several decisions for this.

• The priorities of post-independence governments were neither national development nor the preservation of the country’s heritage, and Rajasthan has borne the consequences of this. Today, our government is following the mantra of ‘Development and Heritage,’ and Rajasthan is greatly benefiting from this.

• Rajasthan has a treasure of natural resources, an advanced connectivity network, a rich heritage of connectivity, and a dedicated young workforce.

• Rajasthan’s potential makes it a prime destination for investment. Another feature of Rajasthan is that people here have a talent for learning and expanding their capabilities.

• Rajasthan is one of the select places in the world where people come to celebrate weddings and other life events. Rajasthan also has vast potential for wildlife tourism, with places like Ranthambore, Sariska, Mukundra Hills, and Keoladeo being a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts.

• PM Modi urged all investors to explore Rajasthan's manufacturing potential. Rising Rajasthan is a great strength. In terms of MSMEs, Rajasthan is among the top five states in India. With over 27 lakh small and medium enterprises and more than 50 lakh people working in them, Rajasthan has the potential to transform.
