00:33As we complete the first quarter of the 21st century, continuing geopolitical headwinds suggest lower global economic growth over the medium term.
00:46However, our aspiration for a prosperous India inspires us and the transformative work we have done during our government's first two terms guides us to march forward resolutely.
01:02Our economy is the fastest growing among all major economies.

02:01access to high quality affordable and comprehensive health care, 100% skilled labour with meaningful employment, 70% women in economic activities and farmers making our country the food basket of the world.
