Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been at the helm of the country's affairs since 2014. In his tenure of nine years, India has achieved great feats under the leadership of PM Modi. As India prepares to celebrate the birthday of PM Modi on September 17, the occasion offers a moment to reflect on his monumental political achievements that have left an indelible mark on the nation.
From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of Indian politics, PM Modi's journey has been defined by several historic accomplishments. Here are some:
Prime Minister Modi's ascent to power began with his tenure as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Under his leadership, the state witnessed remarkable economic growth and development. However, it was his resounding victory in the 2014 general elections that catapulted him to the role of Prime Minister. The BJP secured a clear majority, and Modi assumed office with a mandate for transformative change.
One of PM Modi's flagship initiatives, "Make in India," aimed to boost manufacturing and attract foreign investment. This ambitious program sought to transform India into a global manufacturing hub and generated significant interest from international investors.
With a vision for a cleaner and healthier India, PM Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. This nationwide campaign focused on sanitation and cleanliness, resulting in millions of toilets being constructed and a substantial reduction in open defecation.
The "Digital India" initiative aimed to revolutionize the country's digital infrastructure. It fostered digital inclusion, promoted e-governance, and made government services more accessible to citizens through technology.
The Jan Dhan Yojana was a financial inclusion program that aimed to provide access to banking and financial services to every Indian. It set a Guinness World Record for the most bank accounts opened in a single week.
PM Modi played a pivotal role in the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), a historic tax reform that aimed to simplify India's complex taxation system and create a unified market.
Prime Minister Modi's diplomatic efforts have enhanced India's global standing. His interactions with world leaders, such as the United States, Russia, and China, have strengthened diplomatic ties and bolstered India's role on the global stage.
