    Modi lauded India's handling of COVID-19, saying that the country "beat all odds." He said that many experts had predicted in the early stages of the pandemic that India would be the worst-hit nation. "They predicted two million deaths in the country," he said, adding that India succeeded due to proactive public participation and the development of COVID-specific health infrastructure.

    India paced structural reforms in all sectors during COVID-19: Modi

    Modi said, "India has stressed a lot on reforms and incentive-based stimulus in recent times. Even during COVID-19, India has paced structural reforms in all sectors. These reforms are being supported by production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes." "We stressed on saving every single life. India, now, is walking ahead to become Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant)," he said, assuring that India's economic situation will now change rapidly.
