Reforms are not an end in itself. Reforms must have a concrete objective.

Our country talks a lot on corruption. Everyone advices each other over how to stay away from it. Even those people who are corrupt tend to give advice to others on how to deal with corruption.

Many state governments have launched innovative steps such as Ladli Laxmi scheme of Madhya Pradesh, PDS reform scheme of Chattisgarh, computerization of land records in Karnataka, free computers to students passing 10th standard exams, pollution control efforts in Himachal, power sector reforms in Rajasthan and Mumbai - Pune Expressway in Maharashta. These excellent innovative schemes are examples of good governance.

We are not only celebrating International Yoga day, we are training the human mind to begin a new era of peace, Sadbhavana.

No one can question the talent of India's youth after the success of the Mars Mission. Everything indigenous!

I can assure our countrymen that India is safe in the hands of the brave warriors of our Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.

I am an apolitical Prime Minister. Apart from elections, I don't get involved into politics ever.
