Focus on 'skill, scale and speed' to compete with China: PM

Modi cited the three colours of the national flag while speaking on the need to develop key sectors for overall growth of the country.
Beginning with green, he said India needs to bring about a second green revolution focusing on increased agro-productivity, value addition, agro technology, and decentralization of warehousing.

Modi said a white revolution must focus on increasing milk productivity and developing a support system for ensuring cattle health.

“Saffron colour represents energy - and we need a saffron revolution that focuses on renewable energy sources such as solar energy to meet India's growing energy demand,” he added.

He said, in infrastructure, the focus needs to shift from highways to “i-ways”, and optical fibre networks.  “Cities in the past were built on river-banks. They are now built along highways.

But in future, they will be built based on availability of optical-fibre networks and next-generation infrastructure,” he added.

Referring to the blue colour of Ashoka Chakra, Modi said blue revolution should focus on developing fisheries, including ornamental fish.
