Prime Minister Modi initiates and dedicates construction ventures totaling Rs 26,000 crore in Bikaner, Rajasthan.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for multiple development projects in Bikaner, Rajasthan on May 22, 2025. The total investment in these projects exceeded ₹26,000 crore, marking a significant step towards significant infrastructure development and boosting regional growth.
The event was attended by Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Kisanrao Bagade, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, Union Ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Arjun Ram Meghwal, and other dignitaries. The projects unveiled are aimed at driving industrial growth in Rajasthan, with a focus on creating employment, boosting businesses, and benefiting transport workers, farmers, and households.
PM Modi highlighted the benefits of massive infrastructure investments, stating that they would lead to economic growth and improve the lives of the people. He referred to major infrastructure initiatives such as the Amritsar-Jamnagar Economic Corridor and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, which are expected to drive industrial growth in Rajasthan.
In addition, the Prime Minister also launched several health, water, and electricity projects aimed at uplifting both urban and rural areas in Rajasthan. Notably, the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana has benefited over 40,000 people in Rajasthan by eliminating their electricity bills and generating income through solar power.
PM Modi also emphasised India's rapid infrastructural progress, stating that the country is investing six times more in infrastructure than in previous years. He reiterated his vow never to let the nation fall or bow.
The government is also working on major irrigation and river-linking projects, including the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Link, to improve agricultural output and water access in western Rajasthan. The specific details of each individual project inaugurated on this date in Bikaner are not fully detailed in the available search results.
In a strong stance against terrorism, PM Modi stated that exporting terrorism would lead to economic ruin. He also outlined India's counter-terrorism strategy, which includes responding on its own terms, not being intimidated by nuclear threats, and making no distinction between terrorists and the states that sponsor them.
In a significant move, within 22 minutes of the April 22 terrorist attack, India retaliated and destroyed nine major terror hideouts. This action led to the shutdown of Pakistan's Rahim Yar Khan airbase. The Prime Minister also asserted India's stance on withholding its rightful share of water and stated that there will be no trade or dialogue with Pakistan except on the issue of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
In the realm of transportation, more than 1,300 railway stations are being modernized under the Amrit Bharat scheme. Examples include Mandalgarh in Rajasthan and Thawe in Bihar. Over the past 11 years, Rs 70,000 crore has been invested in road infrastructure in Rajasthan, with nearly Rs 10,000 crore allocated this year for railway development in the state.
Key projects cited by PM Modi as symbols of India's engineering excellence include the Chenab Bridge, Sela Tunnel, Atal Setu, and Pamban Bridge. These projects showcase India's commitment to building world-class infrastructure and demonstrating its technological prowess.
International efforts are underway to expose Pakistan's role in terrorism, and the Prime Minister's initiatives in Bikaner are a testament to India's determination to build a prosperous and secure future for its citizens.
