The Prime Minister also touched upon the Jal Jeevan Mission and the construction of 50 thousand Amrit Sarovars for water security, India becoming the 5th largest economy in the world and also joining the top 5 countries in renewable energy, increasing agricultural exports and also running a campaign for blending 20 per cent ethanol in petrol.
