PM Modi: Gaganyaan Mission will be historic achievement for India in 21st century

Prime
Minister Narendra Modi has said that the proposed Gaganyaan mission will be a
historic achievement for India in 21st Century. In his Mann Ki Baat programme, Modi
said it will prove to be a milestone for New India.

Prime
Minister said, as India celebrates its 75th year of Independence in 2022, the
country has to fulfill the pledge to take an Indian into the space through the
Gaganyaan mission.

PM Modi
praised the four pilots of the Indian Airforce who have been selected as
astronauts for the mission and their forthcoming training in Russia. After
their training for over a year, they will shoulder the responsibility of
carrying the hopes and aspirations of the nation and soaring into space, he
said.

Prime
Minister said these promising youngsters symbolise India’s skill, talent,
ability, courage and dreams. 

He said violence
cannot be a solution to any issue and any problem can be resolved by seeking
solutions and not by creating another one. Prime Minister appealed to the
people to return to the mainstream especially those who are still seeking
solutions to problems through violence and weapons.

The Prime
Minister said, insurgency in the North-East has come down and efforts are being
made to resolve the issues of the region in the right earnest and peacefully
through dialogue. He called upon people to build a new India together where
every issue is resolved on a platform of peace. He said, solidarity is the key
to resolve every issue and brotherhood will foil any attempts by the
separatists to divide the people.

The Prime
Minister said, the new decade of 2020, has brought a new ray of hope in the
life of the Bru-Reang community. He was referring to the agreement which has
ended the 25 year old problem of Bru-Reang refugee crisis. Mr. Modi said,
around 34 thousand Bru refugees will be rehabilitated in Tripura and government
will provide an assistance of around 600 crore rupees for rehabilitation and all-round
development.
