India should capture world's mindspace: PM

NEW DELHI: India should capture the mindspace of global consumers, tourists and students, PM Narendra Modi said on Wednesday as he urged govt employees and citizens to put their best efforts into increasing their and the country’s productivity.Addressing an event after the inauguration of a Kartavya Bhawan along Kartavya Path, he said new office complexes would be the centre of making policies and taking important decisions for paving the way for a developed India.“Our resolve should be that we will scale up our and the country’s productivity. When it comes to tourism, people from all over the world should come to India, when it comes to brands, the world’s attention should be on Indian brands, when it comes to education, stude-nts from all over the world should come to India. The aim of our life should be to do what we can to increase India’s strength,” he said. Modi spoke about govt’s focus on holistic infrastructure development while asserting that India had witnessed a transparent, sensitive and citizen-centric governance model over the last 11 years. He said earlier govts were sending money to 10 crore beneficiaries of various schemes “who were never born”. The money was going to middlemen, he said.But with implementation of Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile, all fake names had been removed from the system, Modi said while highlighting that because of this intervention, more than Rs 4.3 lakh crore had been saved from falling into the wrong hands.Modi said the redevelopment of govt offices and bringing all ministries and departments closer would help avoid Rs 1,500 crore public expenditure annually towards rentals and around 8,000-10,000 employees shuttling between ministries daily.
