Thank you Hon. CM @myogiadityanath for the insightful discussion on UP’s development priorities. Excited to support UP’s high growth targets. Climate-resilient agriculture, renewable energy, youth skilling, digitization, and a competitive MSME sector are key opportunities.

Delighted to speak at @indiawaterweek . India’s national water missions - from Namami Gange to Jal Jeevan - show how to take investments to scale. We need more of this to confront the global water crisis. @DoWRRDGR_MoJS @WorldBankSAsia #jalshakti

A powerful story on the global progress in air quality. Local initiatives around the world are making a real impact. In Bihar, #India , the adoption of improved cookstoves has helped cut pollution, create jobs and improve health for thousands of families.
