New Delhi: Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Saturday (Dec 30) unveiled the official Government of India calendar 2024, themed 'Hamara Sankalp Viksit Bharat'. The social, cultural, and economic changes that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary leadership has brought about in India through the creation of policies that are friendly to the people and the execution of programmes and projects are represented in the calendar for 2024. In his speech on the occasion, the Minister recapped the many accomplishments of the administration, pictures of which grace calendar pages.

According to the Minister, India has come a long way towards becoming Atmanirbhar. Once the second-largest importer of mobile phones, this nation is now the second-largest producer. Vaccine Maitri has allowed a nation that previously imported vaccinations to start providing them to every country in the world. India is a major player in manufacturing now. He went on to state that India has become a significant player in other domains where it was not previously present. As an example, he cited the fact that India currently has the third-largest startup ecosystem.

The government's slogan is transparency and accountability, and it is this spirit that has propelled India's economy from formerly being among the Fragile Five economies to currently being the fifth largest in the world. 

Thakur said, "Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi leads from the top, embodying the spirit of these values."
