completed two years of rapid progress. “The government is fulfilling the promises of development with
which it came to serve the people. And today is a day to further accelerate this campaign of development.”

21,000 new recruits today. Furthermore, the Prime Minister launched the nationwide HPV vaccination
campaign from Ajmer, describing it as a pivotal step toward empowering India’s ‘Nari Shakti’ (women
power) and ensuring the health of mothers and daughters. “We all know that when a mother falls ill in the
family, the house feels scattered. If the mother is healthy, the family remains capable of facing every
crisis. With this sentiment the government has run many schemes to provide support to women.” Shri
Modi highlighted.
The Prime Minister detailed the government’s sensitive approach to women’s health and dignity, citing the successful
implementation of "mission mode" solutions for toilets, sanitary pads, and the Ujjwala Gas Scheme. He also mentioned the safe

from a culture of neglect to one of sensitivity.

is changing the destiny of Rajasthan. He highlighted how improved travel facilitates tourism in places like
Ajmer-Pushkar, directly supporting local businesses, artisans, and taxi drivers. “The infrastructure being

global investment, " Shri Modi said.

Delhi, recently and his visit to Israel, where India’s progress and valor were praised. Shri Modi said,

came; everyone praised India with an open mind”.
Highlighting the success of India' s Armed forces In the last 11 years, Shri Modi said, “ the Indian Army
has dealt a heavy blow to terrorists and the enemies of the country on every front. Our army has been
victorious in every mission, on every front. From surgical strikes to Operation Sindoor, they proved their
mettle”.
Addressing long-standing farmer grievances, the Prime Minister noted the current government is
committed to bringing the ERCP project to life. He emphasized that the campaign to interlink
