Topic Description:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday replied to the motion of thanks on the President's address in the Lok Sabha, saying India will emerge as a strong player in a post-coronavirus world. "The post-COVID world is turning out to be very different. In such times, remaining isolated from global trends will be counter-productive. We'll have to emerge as a strong player. That is why, India is working towards building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat," the PM said. The discussion on the President's motion of thanks was taken up by the lower House of Parliament on Monday. The PM also spoke about farm reforms. "We can't meet the challenges of agriculture sector in the 21st century with the thinking of 18th century. We'll have to change it. Nobody wants farmers to stay stuck in cycle of poverty, the PM added. The PM said the public sector is essential but at the same time the role of the private sector is also vital. Take any sector- telecom, pharma- we see the role of the private sector. If India is able to serve humanity, it is also due to the role of the private sector.
