New Delhi, April 2, 2026 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi today delivered a key address at the inaugural session of the Karmayogi Sadhana Saptah, underscoring the importance of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and administrative reforms in achieving a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047.
🧭 Governance with Purpose and Citizen First
In his video message, the PM emphasised that modern governance must be citizen‑centric, guided by the principle of “Nagrik Devo Bhava” (the citizen as supreme). Public servants were urged to embrace the “Karma Yogi” spirit — focusing on duty over authority — to improve the quality of life and ease of living for all Indians.
💡 Technology & AI: Driving India’s Transformation
Modi highlighted how technology has increasingly been integrated into governance over the past decade and said that with the advent of AI, this transformation will accelerate further. He stressed that public officials must build a strong understanding of technology and data as the foundation for better decision‑making and service delivery.
“A better administrator… is one who understands technology and data — this will be the basis of decision‑making.” — Prime Minister Narendra Modi
