Prime
Minister Narendra Modi Sunday said India needs quality infrastructure
to keep pace with globalisation.
Addressing
a gathering at the Ground Breaking Ceremony of Navi Mumbai
International Airport, Narendra Modi said that globalization is a
reality of our times and to keep pace with globalisation, we need top
quality infrastructure.
He
said the Sagarmala project is ushering not only development of ports
but also port-led development. The Prime Minister said that the
Government of India is devoting significant efforts towards the
development of waterways.
The
Prime Minister said that the Navi Mumbai airport project has been
pending for years. He said delayed projects cause many problems, and
the PRAGATI initiative had been initiated, to give priority to
completion of projects.
He
said India's aviation sector is growing tremendously, and there is a
sharp increase in the number of people flying.
This
makes quality infrastructure in the aviation sector of prime
importance, he added.
The
Prime Minister said that the Union Government has brought an aviation
policy that is transforming the sector.
He
added that a strong aviation sector also gives more economic
opportunities. Better connectivity leads to more tourists coming to
India, he said.
