Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the current decade of the twenty-first century is a golden opportunity that should be completely utilised and that no region of the nation should fall behind in making rapid progress.

During his visit to the state, Modi lay the cornerstone for a number of infrastructure development projects worth roughly Rs 6,100 crore despite the ruling BRS's boycott in Telangana, which is awaiting its election.

Addressing the gathering at the event here, Modi said the whole world was coming forward to invest in India. "Today's India is young and filled with lot of energy."

He underscored that no part of the country should lag behind in terms of growth.

Noting that Telangana was turning into a hub connecting all neighbouring economic corridors, he said industries and tourism in the state are benefitting from this.

He said even though Telangana is a relatively new state and has completed only nine years of its existence, the contributions of Telangana and its people have been very significant in the history of India.
