Addressing a Press Conference today in New Delhi, Mr. Singh said that for the first time, the government has awakened to the enormous wealth lying on the seabed. He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not only followed up with the Mission but he also gave it a priority as he spoke about it consecutively in his Independence Day addresses in 2022 and 2023.
