“Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat, a developed and self‑reliant India, has been actively nurtured in Mangaluru by Captain Brijesh Chowta. Through initiatives such as Bolpu – A Dawn of Opportunities, Captain is translating that national vision into local action by empowering entrepreneurs, supporting innovation and creating platforms for growth. His focus is to shape Mangaluru into a Viksit Mangaluru, that reflects progress, opportunity and inclusive development while staying connected to its cultural roots. In his work, one can see how the larger vision of a Viksit Bharat is steadily being realised at the grassroots level.”
