Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a huge impact on India\’s politics and growth since he took office in May 2014. Bold changes, strong leadership, and a goal to make India a world powerhouse have been hallmarks of his presidency. Here are the best things he\’s done in the last ten years:
1. The digital revolution in India
The goal of the Digital India initiative, which began in 2015, was to close the digital gap. It caused a huge rise in e-government, digital payments, internet access, and online services. Platforms like UPI, DigiLocker, and BHIM became commonplace, making life easier and more open.
2. Building infrastructure that breaks records
Modi\’s government has worked on a lot of big infrastructure projects, like building expressways, metro trains, and smart cities. The UDAN scheme brought air travel to India\’s smaller towns, and the Bharatmala and Sagarmala projects made it easier to link roads and ports.
3. Making India more respected around the world
Modi made India much more visible around the world. India\’s growing power was shown by regular summits, bilateral meetings, and holding events like the G20. India\’s diplomatic power grew thanks to its “Neighbourhood First” strategy and strategic partnerships with the US, Japan, the UAE, and Australia.
4. The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
Swachh Bharat was one of his most famous campaigns. Its goal was to improve cleanliness and get rid of people defecating in the open. The effort was praised by world leaders, including the UN, and more than 100 million toilets were built.
5. The Health Missions and Ayushman Bharat
With Ayushman Bharat, the world\’s biggest health insurance program, more than 500 million people got free health care. It was a step toward India\’s goal of providing health care to everyone.
6. Changes to the economy: GST and the Insolvency Code
When the Goods and Services Tax (GST) went into effect, it united the market and made taxes easier to understand. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) also helped get rid of assets that weren\’t being used and made money management better.
7. Bold Choices: Article 370 and Triple Talaq
Article 370 was taken away by the government in 2019, making Jammu and Kashmir a full part of India. Also, getting rid of instant triple talaq was seen as a big step toward fair treatment of women in Muslim groups.
Important Note: Response to COVID-19 and Vaccine Diplomacy
India had one of the biggest campaigns to vaccinate people against COVID-19 in the world. Modi\’s “Vaccine Maitri” program sent vaccines to more than 70 countries, which improved India\’s reputation as a charitable country around the world.
As Narendra Modi marks the end of his ten years in office, his leadership has changed the way politics and relations are done. His influence on India\’s history can\’t be denied, whether he is praised for his vision or criticized for concentrating power.
