- Brothers and sisters, Projects worth about Rs. 1, 000 crore are already underway to develop smart facilities in Agra.
- I had the privilege of laying the foundation stone of the Command and Control Centre last year and it is also ready.
- I am told that this centre has proved to be very useful during corona. Now, the Metro Project of over Rs. 8,000 crore will further boost the mission of building smart facilities in Agra.
- Friends, The speed and scale with which the work of the Metro network took place in the last six years across the country, along with UP, reflects both the identity and commitment of the government.
- Till 2014, about 215 kms of Metro line was operational in the country. In the six years after 2014, more than 450 kms of Metro lines in the country are operational across the country and construction work is going on in full swing at about 1000 Metro lines.
- Today, Metro work has either been completed in 27 cities of the country or the work is in different stages.
- If we talk about UP only, Agra is the seventh city of UP to connect with the Metro facility and there is one thing which is very important.
- Not only Metro rail networks are not being built in the country, today, Metro coaches are also being manufactured in India under Make in India.
- Not only that, effort is also being made to build the signal system in India, i.e., India is becoming self-reliant in the Metro network.
- Brothers and sisters, The dreams of today’s new India are enormous, but dreaming alone does not pay, dreams have to be realized with courage.
- No hurdle can stop you when you move forward with courage and dedication. Today, the common youth of India, the small cities of India, are displaying the same courage and dedication.
- The role that the metro cities of the country played in the 20th century is being given a push by smaller towns like Agra.
- A lot of emphasis is being given on many development projects to make smaller cities the pivot of self-reliant India.
- These cities in western Uttar Pradesh have everything that we need for self-sufficiency. Its land and farmers have immense potential. In the case of livestock also, the sector is a pioneer in the country.
- There is a lot of potential for the dairy and food processing industry here. In addition, this region is also moving ahead in the service and manufacturing sectors.
- Friends, The potential of western UP is growing further with modern facilities and connectivity.
