This is not in the national interest – uttamhindu.com

After the successful organization of G-20, while India is being praised globally, the opposition parties in India are trying to put the Modi government in the dock and their question is only one thing, what did India get from this event? The allegation of the opposition parties is that lakhs and crores of rupees have been spent on all this to brighten the image of the Modi government and especially Prime Minister Modi.

There are some leaders in the opposition parties who have praised the event and its success, but most of them say that what did India get? This is a question we are asking today. In the past, when international festivals or international sports competitions were held in the country, their governments were in power. The same question can be asked to them also.

The first benefit of organizing international level events and sports competitions is that the infrastructure of the country gets strengthened. According to the present demand, the country develops through construction works and use of new technology. Along with the meetings held in the country regarding G-20 and the construction of India Pavilion and other buildings, India moving forward on the path of development shoulder to shoulder with the world by adopting new technology is a big achievement in itself.

Foreign Minister S. According to Jaishankar, India’s chairmanship of the G-20 has proved to be a ‘common people’s G-20’ in the true sense, through the active participation of the people of various states and union territories. Nearly 220 meetings held in a total of 60 cities Attendance of approximately 30,000 delegates at various G20 meetings, over 100,000 participants in various collaborative events associated with these meetings as well as participation of citizens from all corners of the country G20 Chairmanship Connected with common people in various ways. Various concerned Ministries have encouraged active participation with full enthusiasm. The Ministry of Education has organized various programs based on public participation. There has been enthusiastic participation in these programs from students, teachers, parents and various stakeholders of the society at large. These programs organized at state and district to block, panchayat and school levels have created awareness about G-20, National Education Policy and basic education and numeracy, which are key priorities of India’s Chairmanship of G-20. Collectively, more than 23.3 crore participants have participated in these events. These include 15.7 crore students, 25.5 lakh teachers and 51.1 lakh society members. Yet the meaning of this public participation extends far beyond the numbers of participants. A series of engaging activities have played an important role in promoting wide and enthusiastic engagement. The series ranges from informative ‘G-20 University Connect’ lecture series to interactive ‘Model G-20’ meetings, special G-20 sessions in educational institutions, ‘G-20 Pavilions’ on major festivals, quiz competitions, selfie contests and more. Includes activities like captivating G-20 India stories. Various working groups have used innovative means to promote public participation. Specifically, the G-20 Infrastructure Working Group organized the G-20 Cyclothon and a Motorcycle Rally on the occasion of National Youth Day.

It is clear from the above facts that crores of Indians participated in the functions and meetings organized for the G-20 and they were informed about the challenges facing the country and the world and what is happening at the global level to face them. His knowledge has increased.

Apart from all the above, who can ignore the increase in India’s image and credibility in the world. The country’s increasing role in world politics shows that India is emerging as a new power. All political parties should understand that not giving importance to the country’s achievements by giving priority to political gains and losses is not in the national interest.
