Writer’s view:
Prime Minister Modi during his various tours had given a strong representation to India, it won’t be wrong to say that today India stands in various International decisions because of the rate of growth, population, and economy of the country under the leadership of our current PM.
Environment plays a crucial role in the overall growth of any human being, it is our duty as an individual to work towards it, just like our PM is working for the overall development of the country it is our prime duty to contribute in the same.
PM Modi’s international visits and treaties India stands at a respectable position in world politics and I am sure that this visit will also prove to be fruitful for the country.
