Whenever there is talk of dedication, foresight and unwavering public service in Indian political and administrative history, certain special dates and milestones become immortal on the pages of history forever. On the historic occasion of completing 25 years of his administrative career as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the country's illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a very energetic, inspirational and heart-touching speech. During this grand and dignified ceremony organized in the capital, PM Modi, remembering the early days of his political journey, said that 'We Will Do It' i.e. we can do it, this is the inner feeling which works like nectar in the life of any nation or individual. His powerful address filled a new enthusiasm and energy among the eminent personalities from India and abroad, policy makers and millions of countrymen present there. In his address, the Prime Minister made it clear how even goals that seem impossible can be turned into reality on the strength of unwavering trust, transparent policies and public participation, which will always remain an indelible example for the coming generations. The journey from zero to the peak and that historic mantra of 'We Will Do It' During his address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered the period when he took over the reins of Gujarat for the first time in 2001. At that time, the state was facing serious challenges from all sides—on the one hand, the recent devastating earthquake had devastated the entire state's infrastructure, while on the other, serious problems like drought, administrative slowness and social distrust were looming. In such a depressing environment, when questions were being raised everywhere whether Gujarat would ever recover from this disaster, he and his entire team faced every challenge bravely, adopting the mantra of 'We Will Do It'. PM Modi said that when a person or a government develops confidence that it can solve any problem, then more than half the battle is won there. On the strength of this positive thinking and unwavering determination, he not only brought Gujarat out of the ruins of disaster, but also brought it into the ranks of the most developed, prosperous and industrially leading states of the country. A unique confluence of good governance, transparency and technology, while sharing the experiences of his 25 years of administrative journey, Prime Minister Modi laid special emphasis on the fact that good governance does not only mean building big buildings or allocating budget, but its real meaning is to bring positive change in the life of the person standing at the last rung of the society. He told how transparency was promoted at every level of governance in Gujarat and the avenues of corruption were completely closed. By making maximum use of technology and e-governance, the delivery of government schemes was made so simple and effective that the role of middlemen ended forever. Be it the 'Jyotirgram Yojana' which provides 24-hour electricity supply to villages, projects like 'Sujalam-Sufalam' started to deal with the water crisis, or the steps taken to economically empower women, the welfare of the common citizen and the spirit of nation first remained paramount at the center of every policy. Resolve of Amrit Kaal and Roadmap of Developed India In the last phase of his speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, looking from the present to the future, pledged to the youth and citizens of the country to take the country to new heights in this era of 'Amrit Kaal'. He said that this long and struggling journey of 25 years is not the success of just one person or one government, but it is the victory of the unwavering trust of 140 crore countrymen that they have shown to build a new and self-reliant India. PM Modi called for just as Gujarat left behind its difficult days and created new dimensions of development, similarly the entire country is working with full dedication to realize the dream of 'Developed India 2047' in the coming years. His vigorous and energetic speech was not just an account of achievements, but it was enough to instill in the heart of every Indian the belief that if the intentions are high and there is a true spirit of serving the nation, then every impossible task can be achieved.
