Modi attributes India's growing influence to Operation Ganga success
Pune: Prime Minister Narendra Modi attributed the success of 'Operation Ganga' -- the mission to evacuate citizens stranded in war-torn Ukraine, to India’s growing influence in the global arena.
Modi, speaking after inaugurating the golden jubilee celebration of the Symbiosis university and its Arogyam Dham in Pune on Sunday, said while big nations have been facing difficulties, India has brought back students from Ukraine.
“We are evacuating thousands of Indians safely from the war zone through ‘Operation Ganga’. It is due to India’s growing influence that it has brought thousands of students from the war zone of Ukraine back to their motherland. Many big countries are facing difficulties in doing so for their citizens,” Modi said. According to the Centre, India has till Saturday brought back 13,700 citizens from war zone of Ukraine under ‘Operation Ganga’.
Modi said, “India has emerged as a global leader in sectors which were previously considered out of reach. India has become the second largest mobile manufacturer in the world. Seven years ago, there were only two mobile manufacturing companies in India, today more than 200 units are engaged in this work.”
Even in defence, the Prime Minister said, India, which was recognised as the world’s largest importer country, is now becoming a defence exporter. “Today, two major defence corridors are coming up, where the biggest modern weapons will be made to meet the defence needs of the country,” Modi.
The PM made the remark while inaugurating the golden jubilee celebration of Symbiosis University in Pune. “We are evacuating thousands of Indians safely from war zone through Operation Ganga,” Modi was quoted as saying.
“It is due to India’s growing influence that it has brought thousands of students from the war zone of Ukraine back to their motherland,” he said. Several big countries are facing hard ships in evacuating their citizens, he added.
On Saturday, the government in a statement said the Indian government's Operation Ganga flew 13,700 citizens stranded in war-hit Ukraine back home safely. The special flights started last week.
