Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday shared an article written by former Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu, highlighting what it describes as a significant shift in India’s development journey—from the conventional ‘chalta hai’ approach to a stronger belief in the possibility of change, reflected in the spirit of ‘badal sakta hai’.
The article examines how this shift in mindset has been reflected across various areas of governance and development, including banking sector reforms, the rapid expansion of digital payments and efforts towards poverty reduction.
