Govt showcases milestones achieved under Modi Govt in last 11 yrs
New Delhi, June 11 (UNI) The Government on Wednesday showcased an array of developmental milestones achieved in the past eleven years in various sectors across all sections under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At an event organised by the BJP, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw made an hour-long presentation before the media about the achievements of the NDA Government, with an emphasis that such progress has never been witnessed before the Modi Government took over in 2014. The event was attended by various senior ministers including Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Rajnath Singh, Nirmala Sitharaman and Nitin Gadkari, besides party functionaries. Addressing the programme, Vaishnaw asserted that over the last 11 years, the government has worked not only towards economic transformation but also for empowerment of millions to enhance the living standards of citizens, and improving security, expanding road and railway networks, as well as full electrification, reaching even the most remote areas. Citing employment data from EPFO, he said these reflect greater job creation and heightened awareness of employee benefits. He added that at the same time, the Modi government has spearheaded a series of infrastructure projects, including the Chenab Bridge, Atal Tunnel, and the Statue of Unity – all exemplifying India's engineering excellence. A core focus of the government has been the empowerment of marginalised communities, including persons with disabilities, transgender individuals, and those from SC/ST/OBC groups. Access to essential amenities, such as clean water, electricity, healthcare, and digital services, has been expanded to millions of households. India's leadership in green energy was also showcased at the event with the Ministry stating that India continues to set new global benchmarks in sustainability, drawing admiration from international leaders. As India prepares for its first independent human spaceflight and looks towards the Moon and beyond, the government's investment in space technology underscores the nation's growing prominence on the global stage, said the Minister. Guided by the principle of Antyodaya, the government has strived for 100% saturation across all welfare schemes. From housing to healthcare and clean cooking fuel, millions of previously underserved families now have access to basic services. "Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India has not only seen an economic transformation but also witnessed the empowerment of millions. The focus has always been on creating long-term, sustainable progress across all sectors, from infrastructure to welfare programs." UNI AJ SSP
