Here are some key points of Modi's speech:

- When the pandemic began, the poor began facing a food crisis. We opened the food grain stores for the people of the country. For a life of dignity for women, a direct transfer was made to Jan Dhan bank accounts. Money was transferred to the bank accounts of farmers.

- We also arranged free gas cylinders so the kitchens of the poor. When the challenges of medical treatment increased, we eased the testing and treatment facilities for the poor. When vaccines came, we ensured free vaccines for every Indian.

Later in the day, the Prime Minister will attend the seminar of leaders of various cooperative institutions on 'Sahakar Se Samriddhi' at Mahatma Mandir, Gandhinagar, where he will also inaugurate the Nano Urea (Liquid) Plant constructed at IFFCO, Kalol at a cost of around Rs 175 crores.
