Addressed the 69th session of the UN General Assembly
Addressed the 69th session of the UN General Assembly. Highlighted the need for reform and rejuvenation of the UN. Next year the UN turns 70 and we need to take this as an opportunity to bring about the various positive changes. Why is it that despite having such a wonderful platform like the UN we have the various G platforms? We need to move towards 'G-All' and see how the UN can be made even more effective.
On the issue of terrorism, I made it clear that no country in the world is safe from it. We need to adopt the Comprehensive Convention on Global Terrorism as the matter has been pending for long.
I spoke about India's firm belief in the philosophy 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' and talked about the strength of Yoga. I gave the idea of celebrating a day as International Yoga

On 3rd October 2014 Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will share his thoughts with the people of India through the radio. The Prime Minister’s radio programme will be held at 11:00 AM on 3rd October, which is also Vijaya Dashmi.
The Prime Minister is expected to share his thoughts on a variety of issues. A separate Open Forum has been created on MyGov for citizens to share their comments for the forthcoming radio programme.
Visit- http://mygov.nic.in/groupissue/pm-on-radio-on-3rd-october-2014-at-1100-am/show
Citizens should share ideas and best practices on development, good governance and other issues. The Prime Minister would refer to the Open Forum before the programme and may even refer to some of the points made on the Forum.
Earlier, on 6th September 2014 the Prime Minister talked about connecting with people through radio and sought ideas. He has Tweeted:
Since then there has been an extremely positive feedback on the idea of having a radio programme. Netizens across India have welcomed this idea.
The Radio programme is seen as one more instance of the Prime Minister innovatively communicating with the people. Just recently, on 17th September, after two busy and eventful days in Gujarat the Prime Minister spent over an hour personally replying to people who greeted him on his birthday. This created an electrifying atmosphere on Twitter.
PM witnesses historic successful insertion of Mars Orbiter Mission into Martian orbit
PM witnesses historic successful insertion of Mars Orbiter Mission into Martian orbit
The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has congratulated the space scientists for successfully inserting the Mars Orbiter Mission into Martian orbit. The Prime Minister was addressing scientists after witnessing the insertion procedure at ISRO in Bangalore. The Prime Minister said history has been created by the Indian scientists reaching Mars in the first attempt. He said India is the first to have succeeded in the very first attempt.
The Prime Minister said that Indian scientists, through their hard work and dedication, have stretched the boundaries of human enterprise and imagination. He described the Mars Orbiter Mission as an indigenous pan-Indian effort, stretching from Bangalore to Bhubaneswar, and Faridabad to Rajkot.
Praising the scientists, Shri Narendra Modi said, the hunger of exploration and the thrill of discovery are not for the faint hearted. He remarked that he had chosen to be present at ISRO today, unmindful of success or failure of the mission. He exhorted scientists to set even more challenging targets for themselves, and said he had confidence that they would be able to achieve even those targets. You have “made a habit of achieving the impossible,” the Prime Minister said. He said Modern India must continue playing its role of Jagadguru Bharat.
Shri Narendra Modi said the success of the space programme is a shining symbol of what we are capable of as a nation. A successful space programme generates applications across multiple domains, he added. He said the efforts of India’s space scientists are deepening our governance, strengthening our economy and improving our lives. Noting that the whole nation celebrates when the cricket team wins a tournament, the Prime Minister described the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission as a thousand times greater, and said all Indians must celebrate the success of our space scientists today. Let India celebrate the achievements of its scientists. Let students in every school and college applaud their efforts, he added.
The Governor of Karnataka, Shri Vajubhai Vala, the Chief Minister of Karnataka Shri Siddaramaiah, and Union Ministers Shri Ananth Kumar and Shri Sadanand Gowda were present on the occasion.

PM launches Swavlamban Abhiyaan
PM launches Swavlamban Abhiyaan - new pro-poor initiatives of the Gujarat Government
"Three things are important for the shram-yogi: self reliance (swavalamban), self independence (swashray) and self-dignity (swabhimaan)."
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today (17.09.2014) launched "Swavalamban Abhiyan" - a set of 11 new pro-poor initiatives of the Gujarat Government, at Mahatma Mandir, Gandhinagar. Addressing a large gathering on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that 17th September is observed as Vishwakarma Day across the country, and Vishwakarma is revered by all shram-yogis (people who live through hard work). Congratulating the state government, he said it is significant that the state government has chosen this day to launch "Swavalamban" initiatives.
The Prime Minister said three things are important for the shram-yogi: self reliance (swavalamban), self independence (swashray) and self-dignity (swabhimaan). He said no "shram yogi" likes to be dependent. Gujarat Government has launched these pro-poor initiatives for the benefit of shram yogis, especially women and youth, so that they are empowered to fight poverty, he added. This is in keeping with the spirit of "Shrameva Jayate," he said.
The Prime Minister said that women in Gujarat are at the forefront of animal husbandry and milk production, and they will be benefited and empowered through this scheme. He also said ITIs in the state are focusing on soft skill development, so that the students can communicate their skills and abilities.
The Prime Minister said the neo-middle class will also receive protection through the Swavalamban initiative of Ma-Vatsalya Yojana.
The Governor of Gujarat, Shri O.P. Kohli, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Smt. Anandiben Patel and several state ministers were present on the occasion.

Visited Taimei Elementary School in Tokyo.
Visited Taimei Elementary School in Tokyo.
I sat in the 136-year old school as a student, wanting to learn more about the Japanese education system including how their salient features can be blended in our education system.
It is now accepted that the 21st century will be Asia's century and we have to prepare ourselves for that. Asian countries must learn each other's languages and values. In India schools are offering Japanese as a language option but there is a shortage of teachers. Japan can take up an initiative of teaching Japanese language online. Similarly, Indian languages can be introduced in Japan as well. This will help both our nations.

Addressed Indian and Japanese businesspersons at a luncheon in Tokyo.
Called upon Japanese businesspersons to invest in India. India seeks help from Japan in areas such as skill development and research. Announced that a special management team would be set up directly under the PMO to facilitate investment proposals from Japan.
The clear mandates received by the Governments of India and Japan will deliver a strong push to bilateral relations between our two nations.
21st century will be Asia's century and we have to provide the answer on how the century will be. India and Japan will have a big role in meeting people's aspirations in this century.

At University of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo.
I talked about the importance we attach to girl child education.
In an answer to one of the questions, I said that India and Japan should focus on shared values of democracy, development, and peace. This would be like lighting a lamp in the dark.
Answering a question on the environment, I spoke about India's centuries old tradition of respecting and living in harmony with Nature.
Changes in human habits led to conflict with nature and that has caused problems, which need to be mitigated.
