Bharat cannot be Viksit without a Viksit Kashmir, says Indian Minister Puri

Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs and Petroleum and Natural Gas, recently focused on the crucial role played by Kashmir in India’s development at the ‘Viksit Bharat Ambassador meetup’ held in Srinagar recently.

Addressing the audience, Minister Puri was quoted as saying by ANI, “Bharat cannot be ‘Viksit’ without ‘Viksit Kashmir’. Prime Minister said that it is his dream that India should be or will be a ‘Viksit Desh’ or a ‘developed nation’ by 2047.”

“India will become a developed nation in 2047 or even earlier, but in that, several people have to play a role,” Minister Puri said.

“The Prime Minister sets the coordinates as the prime agent of change, but he has to be supported by others who believe in that vision," he said.

Puri noted, “Right now, we are at USD 4 trillion. By 2040, our economy will be USD 40 trillion.”
