In recalling that food, fuel, and fertilizer shortages due to global conflicts hit developing nations especially hard, he said:.
Modi emphasized taking these issues to the global forefront. He observed that, “We applaud Brazil’s move for a ‘Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty.’ It is a step in the right direction for the implementation of the Deccan High-Level Principles for Food Security adopted at the New Delhi Summit.”
During the G20 session on social inclusion and the fight against hunger and poverty, PM Modi spoke at length about how India had made some tremendous strides in reducing poverty over the past decade. He shared that India had managed to lift 250 million people above the poverty line, showcasing a great example of social and economic policies in place.
Delivering in his first budget, Modi said India has already made significant strides in making sure people have food on the table, noting that “over 800 million people in India are offered free foodgrains, and more than 550 million benefit from the world’s largest health insurance scheme.” He said such growth is inspired by the philosophy of “Back to Basics and March to Future.” It harmonizes old values with new-fangled ideas.
Women-Led Development in India
It has been talked about India’s inclusive development policies by PM Modi, how it was encouraging women-led growth, economic and social empowerment of women, and their consideration in the nation-building process.
Not only did he announce new measures for health benefits expansion, but he vowed to increase the country’s healthcare system. “Now, 60 million senior citizens over the age of 70 will also be eligible for free health insurance,” Modi said, reiterating India’s commitment to supporting vulnerable groups.
PM Modi further stressed that the development of the Global South should be at the helm of international discourse. He explained that a lot depends on the deliberations happening in forums such as the G20, which deeply influence these countries due to their nature of carrying the brunt of global conflicts.
Countries of the Global South are the most adversely impacted by the food, fuel, and fertilizer crises caused by global conflicts. Our discussions can only succeed if we consider their unique challenges and priorities,” Modi said.
He also pointed out India’s initiatives to enlarge the voice of the Global South, such as giving permanent G20 membership to the African Union during the New Delhi Summit. “We will continue to reform global governance institutions to ensure they reflect the realities and aspirations of today’s world,” he added.
