Kolkata came alive with excitement as Governor R.N. Ravi gave a heartfelt welcome to Prime Minister i Narendra Modi on his arrival. In an inspiring X post, Governor Ravi praised the PM’s steadfast dedication to West Bengal’s growth, highlighting game-changing infrastructure projects totaling ₹18,680 crore.
PM Modi didn’t just inaugurate—he laid the foundation for a brighter future. From over 420 km of National Highway projects to key packages of the Kharagpur–Moregram Economic Corridor, the Dubrajpur Bypass, and major bridges, connectivity is set to soar. Port modernisation at Haldia Dock Complex and Kolkata Dock System promises smoother trade flows, while railway upgrades shine bright: flagging off the Purulia–Anand Vihar Express, six redeveloped stations under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, and enhanced rail capacity with signalling improvements.
Fueled by PM Modi’s deep love for Bengal’s people, these initiatives tackle everyday challenges head-on—boosting safety, easing commutes, sparking livelihoods, and unlocking economic potential. As Governor Ravi noted, it’s a bold step toward #ViksitBengal and #ViksitBharat.
