New Delhi: As we near the end of 2021 which brought along a ton of surprises and leaps for the entire country, let's revisit the five biggest announcements made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an effort to drive the Nation towards a sustainable and better path this year.
1. National Hydrogen Mission
The announcement of the launch of a new National Hydrogen mission was made on the occasion of Independence day. In his speech, PM Modi talked about how green hydrogen can be helpful for the country in managing the climate crisis. The major goal of this mission will be to transform India into a global hub for the production of green hydrogen and to create more jobs.
2. Repeal of farm laws
The three farm laws brought in September last year by the Government triggered dissatisfaction from farmers who protested for more than a year on the borders of Delhi for its abrogation.
