New Delhi, June 18. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while mentioning India's 'human' vision for artificial intelligence before the G-7 countries, stated that the development of artificial intelligence should be based on the core principles of inclusivity, security, and public interest.

Modi, who is on a visit to France to participate in the 52nd G-7 summit, addressed an outreach session on 'Ensuring a Safe, Rapid and Efficient Rollout of Artificial Intelligence' in Évian, France, on Wednesday night. Modi remarked that AI is a transformative power with the potential to redefine the direction of human civilization, but it should also empower people. He elaborated that with this broad thinking, India recently hosted the AI Impact Summit.

The Prime Minister highlighted India's 'human' vision for AI, which emphasizes that the development of artificial intelligence should be based on the core principles of inclusivity, security, and public interest.

He called for a unified approach to AI development, focusing on security, speed, and efficiency simultaneously.

In this regard, he provided four suggestions: AI systems should be 'safe-by-design'; there should be common standards, testing frameworks, and regulatory guidelines alongside the use of AI; effective global cooperation should be established to tackle deepfakes, misinformation, and cyber fraud; and the benefits of AI should reach the countries of the 'Global South' to ensure an inclusive world. Concluding his address, the Prime Minister stated that the aim of artificial intelligence should be to expand human capabilities, empower human choices, and protect human dignity.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a visit to Gujarat on June 5, World Environment Day. During this visit, he will present national highway projects worth approximately ₹12,421 crore to South Gujarat.

The program includes the inauguration of two significant packages of the Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway and the foundation laying of four other major road infrastructure projects. These projects are expected to enhance road connectivity, transportation facilities, and economic activities across the state, including South Gujarat. The two packages of the Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway, constructed at a cost of ₹7,689 crore, include the 36-kilometer long Kim-Aena section (Package-6) and the 27.50-kilometer long Gandheva-Aena section (Package-7).

A comprehensive network of major and minor bridges, rail-road bridges, flyovers, and vehicle underpasses has been developed in these projects. To facilitate local commuting, a total of 70 underpasses and 2 interchanges have been constructed. The commencement of these sections of the expressway will provide fast, safe, and uninterrupted traffic flow in the region.

Keeping in mind the convenience of drivers and passengers, a total of 7 modern rest areas are also being developed on both packages. The initiation of the project is expected to increase the speed of goods transportation and reduce logistics costs, benefiting industries. The Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for four significant projects of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) worth approximately ₹4,732 crore.

These include: four-laning of the Dhamasia to Bitarda/Movi section under NH-56 (Package-4), four-laning of the Nasarpur to Malotha section under NH-56 (Package-6), construction of a 6-lane vehicle underpass (Reliance Junction) on the Surat-Hazira National Highway (NH-53), and flyover construction including vehicle underpass in the Kavas area, which will improve connectivity to tribal areas and the Statue of Unity. The new four-lane roads being constructed under the upgrade of NH-56 will provide better road connectivity to tribal districts like Narmada, Tapi, Valsad, and Chhota Udaipur. Additionally, these projects will make access to the Statue of Unity more convenient.

The construction of these approximately 107.67 kilometers of roads is expected to reduce travel time by about 40 minutes and increase average vehicle speed by up to 75%. This will particularly benefit farmers, industries, commercial centers, and logistics networks. A 6-lane flyover and underpass will be constructed on the Surat-Hazira National Highway at a cost of approximately ₹149 crore.

This project is considered extremely important for the Hazira port and surrounding industrial areas. The construction of new structures will facilitate faster and smoother movement of heavy goods vehicles, promoting port-based trade and industrial activities.

Additionally, local citizens will benefit from relief from traffic jams and safer commuting. The completion of these national highway projects is expected to provide a new impetus to the transportation network and industrial development in South Gujarat.

Gothenburg, May 18. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a diplomatic appeal to Europe's leading multinational companies to become partners in India's development path and invest significantly while addressing a special and high-profile session of the 'European Round Table for Industry' (ERT) held in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The summit, co-hosted by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, included CEOs and chairpersons from 55 of the world's most influential companies such as Vodafone, Ericsson, Nokia, Shell, Volvo, Airbus, and Nestlé. Prime Minister Modi presented a special five-tier diplomatic framework to enhance deep industrial and strategic cooperation between India and Europe before the global business community and called on each company to make a new investment commitment to India over the next five years. According to official information shared with digital media, the Prime Minister identified five key sectors to strengthen the diplomatic and economic partnership between the two regions, which include telecom and digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors, green transition and clean energy, infrastructure and mobility, and healthcare and life sciences.

To accelerate cooperation in these sectors, PM Modi proposed establishing several important diplomatic and institutional mechanisms, including organizing an annual India-Europe CEO Roundtable, forming sector-specific working groups, and setting up a dedicated 'ERT India Desk' or 'India Action Group' to assist European companies operating in India. He praised the recently concluded India-European Union (EU) free trade agreement (FTA), calling it the 'mother of all deals' for trade expansion. Assuring global investors, Prime Minister Modi specifically mentioned India's strong economic progress and the transformative policy reforms made over the past twelve years, which include the successful implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), insolvency reforms, historic cuts in corporate tax, production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes, and liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI).

He stated that with a market of 1.4 billion consumers and the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, India is today the brightest star in the global economy. The government is committed to providing full institutional and administrative support to complete each major and flagship project identified through these diplomatic efforts on time, which will provide both economies with new diplomatic strength in the future.

PM Modi's Appeal for 'Energy Conservation and No Gold' Receives Strong Support from Scientists

Loktej English Team — Sun, 17 May 2026 18:13:10 +0530

Dehradun: Due to the ongoing severe geopolitical tensions in West Asia (Middle East), the global supply of gas and petroleum products has been severely affected.

The skyrocketing prices of crude oil are putting additional economic pressure on the Indian economy. To address this crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a special appeal to the citizens to limit the use of energy resources and refrain from purchasing gold for the next year. Since both fuel and gold need to be imported on a large scale, which requires the country to spend precious foreign currency (dollars), this initiative by the PM is expected to reduce imports, saving not only the country's revenue but also strengthening the Indian rupee in the international market.

Environmental and climate scientists have strongly supported the Prime Minister's 'No Gold, Save Energy' appeal. Scientists believe that the excessive use of energy resources and vehicles has led to smoke emissions, making global warming and climate change a serious challenge worldwide. If the citizens voluntarily reduce energy consumption, it will lead to a significant decrease in carbon emissions.

This exemplary step will not only purify the environment of the plains but will also be extremely beneficial and protective for the health of the melting Himalayan regions and their glaciers due to rising temperatures. Scientists cited the example of the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that the halt of human and industrial activities during that time allowed the environment to reset (heal) completely. During the lockdown, the Ganga River became completely pollution-free and pure up to Haridwar, there was a historic improvement in air quality, and biodiversity in the Himalayan regions received new life.

Experts say that by adopting PM Modi's appeal, we can voluntarily restore the environment to its former vitality without any restrictions. The adoption of resource conservation by the citizens is expected to strengthen the country's economic health while providing a new lease of life to the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.

PM Modi's Appeal for Savings Amid Global Energy Crisis: 40 Countries Have Implemented Strict Rules

Loktej English Team — Thu, 14 May 2026 19:41:27 +0530

Amid the global energy crisis arising from increasing tensions in West Asia and breaking supply chains, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to citizens to save petrol, diesel, and gold. According to the International Energy Agency, over 40 countries have already taken such strict measures before India.

Neighboring countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka have re-adopted the work-from-home culture to save energy. Measures such as petrol rationing, reduction in office hours, and promotion of public transport have been implemented at war level to stabilize the faltering economy. Each country is formulating its strategy to tackle the energy crisis.

In Sri Lanka, there is a four-day work week and a rule to turn off street lights in the evening, while in Bangladesh, the AC temperature has been fixed at 25°C. In Pakistan, markets are being closed by 8 PM, and Nepal has set a fuel quota for government vehicles. China is relying heavily on electric vehicles and solar energy to reduce its dependence.

Countries like Jordan and Indonesia have even imposed temporary bans on non-essential official foreign travel to safeguard foreign exchange reserves. PM Modi's appeal aims to protect the country from economic recession and strengthen the domestic currency. The government wants citizens to promote tourism within the country instead of traveling abroad, ensuring that money remains with Indian traders.

The rationale behind the appeal to save petrol and diesel is that despite the surge in global prices, the government has not burdened the public, but it is essential to reduce consumption to maintain this. In India, there are also considerations to reduce the fleet of ministers and implement systems like odd-even in the future to ensure the country's economic pace remains secure during this period of global uncertainty.
