Prime Minister Narendra Modi NEW DELHI: As the country seethes to avenge the killing of 26 civilians by Pakistan-backed terrorists in Kashmir's Pahalgam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday dropped a big hint on the government's preparedness to thwart terrorism and its backers. Addressing the YUGM Conclave, PM Modi said: "We have set a time frame of the next 25 years for the goal of a developed India. We have limited time; the goals are big.
I am not saying this for the present situation. That is why it is important that the journey of our idea from prototype to product is also completed in the shortest possible time. When we reduce the distance from lab to market, the results of research start reaching people faster.
This also motivates the research."
