He further added that India will become the gaming capital of the world.
Talking about how the government has worked towards giving houses to the poor, the Prime Minister said: “Till now the poor have been given 4 crore houses. Those who have lived difficult lives only understand that what is the value of getting a house.”
Mentioning the sufferings of the women in the past, the Prime Minister mentioned that “women in the past suffered a lot due to the lack of a toilet system”.

PM Modi On Boosting Middle-Class Savings
PM Narendra Modi stated that over the past decade, his government has boosted middle-class savings by lowering income tax. He recalled that before 2014, heavy tax burdens severely impacted people’s lives, but his administration worked to ease those challenges. In 2013-14, the tax exemption limit was just ₹2 lakh, whereas today, it has increased to ₹12 lakh. He added that with a ₹75,000 standard deduction, from April 1, salaried individuals earning up to ₹12.75 lakh annually will pay no income tax.
