Viksit Bharat needs Viksit Nagrik. Tax compliance among self-employed professionals remains significantly underdeclared. Littering, queue-jumping, and bribery at the lowest level are not because of poverty. Because of normalised dishonesty.

Fix 2: A 'Responsible Citizen' score: documented honest taxpayers get priority in government service queues, loans, and passports. Not surveillance. Incentive. Fix 3: Celebrate ordinary honest Indians on DD National. Make honesty aspirational.

India spends ~0.65% of GDP on R&D. China: 2.4%. USA: 3.4%. Israel: 5.4%. We celebrate IIT graduates who build products for Silicon Valley. We should be asking: why aren't they building for Bharat?

Create a 'Bharat Innovation Bond' โ€” sovereign-backed, retail-subscribed, funding deep-tech startups the way Israel funds Unit 8200 alumni ventures. And retire "jugaad" from policy vocabulary. Replace it with "precision engineering." Language shapes culture.

Today, India writes history. PM @narendramodi becomes India's longest-serving elected Prime Minister โ€” 4,399 consecutive days. Surpassing Nehru's record. Three mandates. One unbroken direction.
