The museum showcases the contributions, speeches, and other remarkable items of former Indian Prime Ministers.

Speaking on the vacation plans, PM Modi also asked citizens to share their experiences on Twitter by using the hashtag #MuseumMemories. The country has got a Pradhan Mantri Sanghralay, it has been opened for the people of the country. It’s a matter of pride that we are remembering the contribution of PMs, it’s connecting the youth of the country with them, he said.

Digitisation of Indian Economy

Talking further about the digitization of the economy, the PM asked people to go for Cashless Day Out and experience the way digital payments are being adopted across the country.

Now even in small villages and towns, people are using UPI. It’s benefiting both shopkeepers and customers. Online payments are developing a digital economy. Every day, Rs 20,000 crore online transactions are taking place, PM Modi said. The facility of payment through UPI has reached even places where there was no good internet facility till a few years ago, the Prime Minister said.

Technology played a greater role in the life of Divyangs for achieving heights

On appreciating the participants of the Tokyo Paralympics, PM Modi said with the help of technology, divyang brothers and sisters are doing a great job in every field of aspects whether it’s arts, academics, sports, or any other field.

The country is constantly making efforts to make the resources and infrastructure accessible to the differently-abled. There are also many start-ups and organizations in the country which are doing inspirational work in this direction, he added.

Water Conservation

Speaking about the need for conserving water, PM Modi said that it’s specified in our scriptures that water is a basic necessity of every creature, it’s an important natural resource. In Valmiki Ramayan, water preservation was emphasized. During the Harappan civilization, there was advanced engineering for saving water. In the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, water conservation is one of the resolutions with which the country is moving forward, the PM said.
