Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India is steadily progressing toward the vision of a developed nation. At the heart of this journey lies Antyodaya—the upliftment of the last person in society—and Ekatm Manavvad (Integral Humanism), a philosophy articulated by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay.
Over the last decade, the country has witnessed transformative change in nearly every sphere of life, with visible improvements in the living standards of 1.4 billion Indians. When Shri Modi ji first addressed the Central Hall in 2014, he declared that his government would belong to the poor, farmers, backwards classes, deprived communities, youth, and women. This was not just rhetoric—it became the guiding principle of governance.
From the Swachh Bharat Mission to Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, Jan Dhan, Ayushman Bharat, Kisan Samman Nidhi, Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, and more, the government’s focus has consistently been on those at the margins—farmers, workers, scheduled castes, tribes, and the poorest households. For decades, these groups had been seen mainly as a vote bank. Under Shri Modi’s leadership, they have become the direct beneficiaries of change.
What sets Prime Minister Shri Modi apart is his clarity of purpose and ideological commitment. He is credited with ending the dominance of dynastic politics and the culture of part-time politics in India. His political credibility rests on tireless effort
When Shri Modi ji first addressed the Central Hall in 2014, he declared that his government would belong to the poor, farmers, backwards classes, deprived communities, youth, and women. This was not just rhetoric—it became the guiding principle of governance
and a reputation for standing firmly with the nation in times of crisis.
Each decision, whether economic or strategic, is tested against long-term relevance. A stark example is national security. Once plagued by frequent terror attacks, India now follows a zero-tolerance policy. The world witnessed this in Operation Sindur, launched in response to the Pakistan-sponsored attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Armed Forces’ bold cross-border strike dismantled terrorist camps, sending a strong message that such acts would invite decisive retaliation. Similarly, the government’s mission to uproot Naxalism reflects an unwavering resolve to secure internal peace.
Like Shri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who united the nation, Shri Modi has shown firmness in matters of national integration. The abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A stands as a historic decision, fulfilling the dream of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and bringing Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh into the mainstream of development.
Women’s empowerment has also shaped India’s growth story. From ending open defecation to abolishing triple talaq, from Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam ensuring 33% reservation for women in legislatures, Shri Modi’s policies have sought to empower women as equal partners in development. The improved sex ratio is one of the visible results of these interventions.
Guided by the principle of minimum government, maximum governance, Shri Modi has redefined India’s economic landscape. GST reforms, housing initiatives, and schemes like the Vishwakarma Yojana bring the poor and middle class to the centre
Shri Modi’s leadership has not only strengthened India’s economy and security but also revitalised its cultural identity. The construction of the grand Ramlala Mandir in Ayodhya, the revival of Kedarnath, and the development of sacred sites like Varanasi and Prayagraj have sparked a cultural renaissance
of monetary policy. Unlike earlier slogans of ‘Garibi Hatao’, these reforms have translated into concrete relief for ordinary citizens.
India’s global reputation has also risen sharply. The success of Chandrayaan-3 at a fraction of the cost of similar global missions, the launch of over 400 foreign satellites, and indigenous defence manufacturing under Make in India highlight the country’s growing technological prowess.
Shri Modi’s leadership has not only strengthened India’s economy and security but also revitalised its cultural identity. The construction of the grand Ramlala Mandir in Ayodhya, the revival of Kedarnath, and the development of sacred sites like Varanasi and Prayagraj have sparked a cultural renaissance. These initiatives have also boosted tourism and created local employment, linking spiritual heritage with sustainable livelihoods.
At a time when the world faces climate challenges stemming from consumerism, India has presented an alternative model of inclusive and sustainable development. Rooted in the ancient ethos of “Krinvanto Vishwamaryam” (Make the World Noble), Shri Modi has positioned India as a moral and environmental leader on the global stage.
Today, Shri Narendra Modi continues to serve with unmatched energy and dedication. His philosophy of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas has become the framework for participatory governance, ensuring that all have a share in the progress.
For many, Shri Modi is not only the guardian figure—an architect of India’s transformation who combines economic reform, social justice, national security, cultural pride, and environmental stewardship. In every sense, he has redefined the role of a leader as the Pradhan Sevak of the nation.
