The Lieutenant Governor stressed the importance of leveraging India\u2019s demographic dividend. \u201cWhile the world is ageing, young India is rising.

Addressing the industrial and business community, Sinha stressed reducing dependence on external markets by focusing on the domestic production of critical goods. \u201cTo become a manufacturing colossus by 2029, we must have a long-term strategy on foreign investment and develop strong domestic supply chains,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He urged business leaders to focus on creating rural enterprises connected to global markets. \u201cI want to see a new partnership between Panchayats and Industry across the country. This will accelerate inclusive development and create a prosperous society where all sections enjoy the benefits of economic growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlighting India\u2019s development journey under Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s leadership, Sinha spoke about the revolutionary changes taking place across various sectors, especially in Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also noted Kanpur\u2019s revival, which was once known as the \u201cManchester of the East\u201d for its leather and textile industry. \u201cThe groundwork for Kanpur\u2019s accelerated industrial development has been laid, and soon, the city will reclaim its lost glory,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out that exports from Kanpur have significantly increased, and the region is attracting major investments in textiles, leather, and defense manufacturing. \u201cThis old industrial hub will power the journey of Viksit Bharat,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lieutenant Governor commended the collective initiative of the Rotary Club of Kanpur Gaurav, Confederation of Indian Industries, and Prout Solicitors LLP for providing a meaningful platform for impactful discussions and strategic collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
