In a visionary address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscores the pivotal role of small cities in realising the ambitious goal of a 'Developed by 2047' India. Recognising their untapped potential, the Prime Minister emphasises the strategic importance of smaller urban centres in the nation's journey toward comprehensive development.

PM Modi's focus on small cities aligns with the government's commitment to inclusive growth, acknowledging that the collective progress of these urban centres will contribute significantly to the overall national development agenda. The emphasis on decentralization and regional development underscores the need for balanced urbanisation.

As engines of economic growth, small cities are poised to play a key role in job creation, infrastructure development, and overall improvement in the quality of life for their residents. PM Modi's vision encourages a more distributed and sustainable model of urban development, ensuring that the benefits of progress reach every corner of the nation.

This strategic emphasis on small cities resonates with the government's commitment to building a robust and resilient India by leveraging the potential of every urban centre, irrespective of size. As the nation aspires to achieve 'Developed by 2047,' the recognition of small cities as key contributors marks a forward-looking approach to inclusive and equitable growth.
