India of the 21st century is progressing at a fast pace and together we all have set the goal of making a developed India by 2047, he said at the programme.
Modi said the Centre has taken steps for the welfare of the poor and that is why in the last 10 years, about 25 crore people of the country have come out of poverty.
Our effort is that the modernization of railways in West Bengal should happen at the same pace as it is happening in other parts of the country, he said.
