Completing 11 Years As PM, Modi Has 15 Questions For You: Do You Feel Secure? Is Your Life Better?
Last Updated:
On the Narendra Modi App, in what is called 'Jan Man Survey', visitors are asked to name their state, constituency and answer a set of questions to provide feedback on governance
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has picked a unique way to mark 11 years of the Central government under him – seeking feedback on his governance.
On the Narendra Modi App, in what is called the 'Jan Man Survey', visitors are asked to name their state and constituency and answer a set of questions to provide feedback on governance.
Unsurprisingly, given the focus on Operation Sindoor, the first question is on India's response to counter-terrorism over the last decade. It has four options: decisively firm and proactive, strong and deterrent-focused, steady and cautious advancements, and primarily reactive in nature.
The second question, too, is also security-related, asking how secure you feel as a citizen, considering the government's actions against national security threats. The answer is to be given on a slider that can be adjusted to express confidence.
The NaMo App also asked whether India's voice is being heard and respected more internationally than before. This is a clear comparison to the UPA years.
Focusing on Vikas, or development, the survey asks which of the following developments since 2014 do you consider most significant for India? The five options are — a corruption-free government, enhancement of ease of living, improvement of ease of doing business, development in futuristic infrastructure, and all of the above.
The survey also seeks to know which of the following Digital India products or services have been used the most in the past 12 months? The 10 options are Digilocker, Umang, Arogya Setu, BHIM UPI, e-Hospital @ NIC, ABHA ID, DBT, Digi Yatra, Digital Life Certificate and Swamitva.
Similarly, the app had questions for women, asking, with the vision of women-led development, what are the most significant improvements they have witnessed? On youth, the survey seeks response on if government initiatives like Skill India, Start-up India and reforms in education have expanded opportunities for young people?
While political opponents may have mocked India's 'Make in India' initiative, the PM has posed a question on it to the citizens: How has the 'Make in India' initiative impacted the manufacturing sector? They could reply with either transformative, strong, promising or slow.
The next question asked which of the following made them proud: development and renovation of major spiritual centres, recovering stolen heritage, promoting India's heritage globally, elevating India's security personnel, and removing colonial-era symbols.
The NaMo app asked which of these have been truly transformative for governance: GST, last-mile delivery, National Education Policy, financial inclusion, future-ready infrastructure, self-reliant manufacturing, digitisation and transparency in governance, and strengthening national unity.

Before the survey ended, came the crucial question — assess the 'presence and responsiveness of your local and national representative" in addressing public concerns. This is seen as a wake-up call for many BJP representatives who are seeking re-election.
The survey also asked whether India was moving towards a Viksit Bharat in alignment with their aspirations. It ended with a final question on the extent to which one feels 'inspired and involved" in India's development journey, setting the tone for PM Modi's vision of 2047 when he envisions India becoming developed.

BSF complains about filthy train coaches for Amarnath duty, Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw acts
The Border Security Force complained to the North-Eastern Railways about the 'unhygienic/filthy' condition of 'most of the coaches' in a special train allotted on June 9 evening for movement of its 1,200 personnel from the Udaipur station in Tripura to Jammu Tawi in J&K for Amarnath Yatra duty. Stating it was 'not possible for troops to travel such a long distance' in the dilapidated coaches, the BSF Train Commandant, who complained to the Agartala Station Manager, sought their immediate replacement. On Wednesday, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw took 'serious note of the incident involving the deployment of an unsuitable/old train' and a probe was ordered, a Ministry official said, adding that four officials – the Coaching Depot Officer and three Senior Section Engineers – of the Alipurduar railway division had been placed under suspension. According to the official, a special train had been arranged exclusively for BSF personnel and it would leave the Agartala station Wednesday night. 'The Railway Minister has made it clear that the dignity and comfort of security forces are of utmost priority and that such negligence will not be tolerated at any level,' the official said. In the complaint to the Agartala Station Manager, the BSF Train Commandant had listed all that was wrong with the coaches – broken interiors including toilet doors, infested with cockroaches and insects, filthy berths and washrooms without water or electricity. The BSF Train Commandant said 'it is not possible for troops to travel such a long distance… in unhygienic/filthy and inhumane conditions' and there is every possibility that 'most of them may fall sick even before deployment'. The officer pointed out that the special train was made available at the Udaipur station only at 6.30 pm on June 9 though it had been requisitioned for June 6. According to the officer, the entire battalion was to be inducted and deployed by June 12 as per directions of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The officer sought immediate replacement of the dilapidated coaches, and also said the special train should be 'immediately placed for timely travel' to 'reach the destination as per schedule given by MHA and BSF Force HQs'. The BSF attached four files of videos and photographs of the allotted train. A spokesperson for the BSF said, 'We made a request to provide a special train for our 1,200 personnel. On June 9, they had provided a train but there were some shortcomings and we immediately informed their (Railways) senior officials about the situation.' The upcoming Amarnath Yatra will be the first major pilgrimage in J&K after the Pahalgam terror attack and the hostilities between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor. The Centre has decided to deploy 581 companies of paramilitary personnel to ensure adequate security for the Yatra.

On 12th June 2025, Lieutenant General BKGM Lasantha Rodrigo is scheduled to visit Jaipur and meet Lieutenant General Manjinder Singh, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, South Western Command. The General Officer will grace the Passing Out Parade at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun, as the Reviewing Officer on 14th June 2025. This visit will mark a poignant return to his alma mater, where he was commissioned in December 1990, with the 87th Course of the IMA- an experience that laid the foundation of his illustrious military career.

Adding a personal and emotional dimension to the ceremony, Brigadier RMSP Rathnayake of Sri Lanka Army, will also be in attendance to witness his son, Foreign Officer Cadet RMNL Rathnayake, being commissioned with the current course.
