... that the Indian government has pledged ₹480 crore (equivalent to ₹596 crore or US$71 million in 2023) for the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, which was launched by Narendra Modi at the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit? [1][2]

The article is new enough but it is only 9 characters over the minimum length requirement. I am sure more can be said about this topic. For example, can there not be any background section? What prompted Modi to propose this coalition? Otherwise, the article meets the DYK criteria: it is well-sourced, neutral, and free of close paraphrasing. The hook is concise, cited, and interesting enough, though I suspect that an even more appealing hook might be proposed after a slight expansion of the article.

I have expanded the article (will expand it further if time permits). Bharatiya 29 14:29, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1: ... that Narendra Modi's experience of dealing with the 2001 Gujarat earthquake aftermath played a role in shaping the idea of Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure? [3]
ALT2: ... that Narendra Modi described the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure as a "practical approach and roadmap" towards climate change mitigation? [4]

I was hesitant to ask for an expansion because the article, technically, met the minimal requirements; but seeing what it looks like now, I can say it was a good call. Thank you! I would recommend going with ALT1. Surtsicna (talk) 11:28, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
