Rapid growth not possible through exports of raw materials; India changing eco-system, says PM Modi in Bhubaneswar

There are two pillars for the expansion of the Indian economy- innovating the service sector and quality products. The rapid growth of the country is not possible only through the export of raw materials. Hence, we are changing the entire eco-system and working with a new vision in India, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Utkarsh Odisha Conclave 2025 in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday.

“The trend which was being followed is being changed now in India. Our government is working to ensure that a similar industry comes up in Odisha for which there are resources. The conclave is a medium for it. Today, the world is talking about sustainable lifestyles and moving towards a green future. The scope for green jobs is increasing. Hence, we have to change ourselves with the emerging trends. India is focusing on green future and green tech,” said PM Modi.

Be it solar, wind, or green hydrogen, these are going to power the energy security for Viksit Bharat, said PM Modi.
