In his speech, he shared his 'seven streams' plan to help India grow and become strong.

It also includes making India strong in defense and taking care of nature, like oceans and green energy.
He also wants to share things like yoga, healthcare, tourism, and creative arts with the world.
He said that young people will play a very important part in this plan.
He hopes that by the year 2047, India will be a fully developed country, which he calls 'Viksit Bharat.'
