In a post on X, Minister Pradhan described the release as a “momentous occasion,” noting that the collection reflects Prime Minister Modi’s vision for India’s progress and his emphasis on inclusive development. The speeches, he said, highlight themes such as Antyodaya (upliftment of the poorest), welfare of marginalized communities, Swachh Bharat, and the aspirations of 140 crore citizens.

Pradhan stressed that such compilations serve as a vital medium to connect citizens with the country’s goals, ambitions, and the Prime Minister’s ideas. He expressed hope that the book would reach every library across India, encouraging widespread reading and discussion on the vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India).
