PM Modi also interacted with the team working on India`s first Bullet train project and inquired about the project`s progress, including adherence to speed and timetable targets. Workers assured him that the project was advancing smoothly without any difficulties, the Prime Minister`s Office said in a release.

An engineer from Kerala shared her experience of working at the Noise Barrier Factory in Navsari, Gujarat, where robotic units are being deployed for welding rebar cages. PM Modi asked her how she personally perceived the experience of building India`s first bullet train and what she shares with her family about this historic achievement. She expressed pride in contributing to the nation`s first Bullet Train, describing it as a "dream project" and a "proud moment" for her family.

Reflecting on the spirit of national service, the Prime Minister emphasised that when the feeling arises of working for the nation and contributing something new, it becomes a source of immense motivation. He drew a parallel with India`s space journey, recalling how the scientists who launched the country`s first satellite must have felt, and how today hundreds of satellites are being launched.

Another employee, Shruti from Bengaluru, serving as Lead Engineering Manager, explained the rigorous design and engineering control processes. She highlighted that at every stage of execution, her team evaluates pros and cons, identifies solutions, and explores alternatives to ensure flawless implementation.

Prime Minister Modi remarked that if the experiences gained here are recorded and compiled like a Blue Book, the country can move decisively towards large-scale implementation of bullet trains. He emphasised that India must avoid repeated experimentation and instead replicate the learnings from existing models.

PM Modi highlighted that replication will only be meaningful if there is a clear understanding of why specific actions were taken. Otherwise, he cautioned, replication may occur without purpose or direction.

He suggested that maintaining such records could benefit future students and contribute to the nation`s development. "We will dedicate our lives here and leave behind something valuable for the country," the Prime Minister affirmed, as per the release.
