PM Modi stressed on the need to empower micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and develop local industries.
Stating that the development of Varanasi can be a roadmap for the entire country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the development of the city has been carried out in a traditional manner which has set an example of how local skills and products can become the identity of a city.
Addressing the inauguration of the All India Mayors' Conference, PM Modi said, "I am thankful to the Ministry of Urban Affairs and the government of Uttar Pradesh for choosing my constituency Kashi for this wonderful programme. Varanasi's development can become a roadmap for the entire country. The majority of our cities are traditional cities. Their development has also been in a traditional manner. We can learn from such places about how local skills and products can be the identity of that city."
Emphasizing the importance of public participation in the all-round development of cities, the Prime Minister said, "The more public participation we witness, the better it will be for the city. For instance, can NCC cadets take care of all statues of Indian heroes in their respective cities? We can also enlighten our cadets about their heroics. Mayors can ensure this during their tenure."
The Prime Minister suggested people to use LED bulbs to significantly bring down their electricity bills and urged the Mayors participating in the event to ensure that every street and corner of their city has proper lighting.
