Modi India’s best hope for economic renaissance: WSJ
Washington: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his second US trip in a year, a commentary in a leading daily said he remained “India’s best hope for an economic renaissance” while another suggested that he may be a “diplomatic failure with India’s neighbours.”
“By reaching out directly to the American corporate sector, Modi hopes to bolster economic ties with the US and project India as a prominent investment destination,” wrote Harsh V. Pant in a commentary in the Wall Street Journal.
“Not surprisingly, Modi will spend much of his US tour currying favour with American corporate heads,” he wrote taking note of his meetings with potential investors, media and CEOs of infrastructure and manufacturing companies and tech leaders in Silicon Valley.
“Much like his other visits, Modi will look to Indian-Americans to harness their support for India’s economic regeneration,” wrote Pant, professor of defence studies at King’s College London.
Taking note of investors’ disappointment “at the government’s inability to pass important legislation,” Pant largely blamed the opposition and said, “Modi remains India’s best hope for an economic renaissance.”
“His popularity remains high and optimism about the future of the country under his leadership is soaring,” he wrote.
“It is this cache of popular support that Modi will be leveraging as he tries to convince US investors and policy makers that India’s story has just begun and that his leadership can write the next chapter.”
“It may seem like a tall order, but Modi is nothing if not ambitious,” Pant concluded.
On the other hand, the Washington Post wondered if Modi who “makes a lot of overseas trips,” is “a diplomatic failure with India’s neighbours.”
“At first, his rock star-like foreign visits served as a welcome break, especially after the robotic and relatively timid visits abroad of his predecessor, Manmohan Singh,” the Post said in a report from New Delhi.
“But are Modi’s sojourns abroad yielding real results?” it asked and suggested, “Not if you look at India’s neighbours such as Nepal and Pakistan.”
In India, many have begun “asking whether Modi’s diplomacy is working,” the Post report said even as it acknowledged that “Still, in almost all popularity polls, Modi’s foreign-policy initiatives continue to score high.”
Lucknow: Vishal Singh, a renowned social worker from Lucknow, also known as Foodman, has once again made India proud. He was honored by the Happy Hands Gloves Cooperative Limited Company in Korathai, Thailand, for his work with the Hunger Free World Mission.

He said the mission is not just about feeding people but also about meeting other basic needs of those who are struggling. The mission focuses on helping families of terminally ill patients in hospitals by providing food and shelter. It also works to fulfill essential needs like education, jobs, and care for the elderly.
For the last 16 years, the Vijay Sri Foundation has been providing free services, benefiting thousands of people. Vishal Singh highlighted that the mission aims to gain global recognition like other organizations such as WHO, WWF, and Red Cross, which work for social causes.
During this meeting, Vishal Singh was appointed as the Chairman of the Hunger Free World Mission by representatives from various countries. They also discussed holding regular meetings in different countries to push the mission forward.
Business tycoon Dr. Abhishek Verma has also supported this humanitarian mission, vowing to promote the idea of “Seva Parmo Dharma” (Service is the highest duty) worldwide. Vishal Singh praised him, stating that people like Dr .Abhishek Verma inspire others to work for the betterment of society.
Recently, Romania’s Ambassador, Mr . Daniela Sezonov Ţane, invited Vishal Singh to the Romanian Embassy in Delhi, where they discussed the mission in detail. Impressed by his humanitarian work, she honored Vishal Singh and invited him to Romania to take the mission forward .

Despite contracting the virus himself, he continued to assist others after his recovery. He even created a life-saving oxygen regulator using household items, which was praised by doctors both in India and abroad.
In his address at the meeting, Vishal Singh spoke about his mission to create a hunger-free world. He pointed out that India’s large population, along with issues like unemployment and poverty, has caused the country to fall on the Hunger Index. He urged people to contribute just one handful of grains daily to help create a hunger-free world.
He concluded by saying that through social participation, we can empower the people around us, meet their basic needs, and work together to build a stronger, more prosperous, and developed society.
