The Vande Bharat train is a symbol of the determination and potential of a new India. It is a symbol of an India that is on the path of rapid change. Such an India, which is impatient about its dreams and its aspirations. Such an India, which wants to reach its goal by moving fast. PM Modi further said that 'Vande Bharat Train' was designed in India and made in India only. This is the country's train.

These efforts of the Central Government are also increasing the Ease of Doing Business. The PM said that the infrastructure related to connectivity not only connects two places, but also connects dreams to reality. It connects manufacturing to the market, talent to the right platform. Where there is momentum, there is progress and when there is progress, prosperity is certain. We have also seen the time when very few people got the benefit of modern connectivity. Due to this, a large population of the country used to spend time in commuting. Today the country is moving forward leaving behind that old thinking.

जहां गति है, वहां प्रगति है और जब प्रगति होती है तो समृद्धि तय है। हमने वह समय भी देखा है जब आधुनिक कनेक्टिविटी का लाभ बहुत कम लोगों को मिलता था।

इससे देश की बहुत बड़ी आबादी का समय आने-जाने में खर्च होता था। आज देश उस पुरानी सोच को पीछे छोड़ आगे बढ़ रहा है।
