New York, Sept 25: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed the the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

In his address Modi said, in the last 1.5 years, the entire world has been facing the worst pandemic in 100 years, I pay tribute to all those who have lost their lives in this deadly pandemic and I express my condolences to their families.

Development should be all-inclusive, universal and one that nurtures all.

It is with the principle (of ‘antyodaya’ — where no one is left behind) in mind that India today is moving forward on path of integrated equitable development. Our priority is that development should be all inclusive, all pervasive, universal and one that nurtures all, said Modi.

Yes, democracy can deliver. Yes, democracy has delivered. Today is birth anniversary of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, the proponent of ‘Ekatma Manav Darshan’, meaning integral humanism or the development journey taken together, the expansion from self to universe.

Today, I extend an invitation to all vaccine manufacturers from across the world to make vaccines in India, PM said.

I would like to inform the UNGA that India has developed the world’s first DNA vaccine. This can be administered to anyone above the age of 12. An mRNA vaccine is in the final stages of development. Indian scientists are also developing a nasal vaccine against COVID19, said PM Modi.

The Corona pandemic has taught the world that the global economy be further diversified. That is why the expansion of global value chains is very important. Our ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan’ is inspired by this sentiment.

On the ocassion of 75 years of independence, India is going to launch 75 satellites into space made by Indian students, PM Narendra Modi said at United Nations General Assembly.
