'#11YearsOfSeva The country has seen a new era of economic revival, social justice, cultural pride and national security. The Modi government has proved that when the leadership is clear, the resolve is firm and the intention is of public service, then new records of service, security and good governance are created,' the post reads.
Narendra Modi first took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014, and is currently serving his third consecutive term.
Marking the occasion, the Union government also released a comprehensive e-book detailing achievements across various sectors over the past 11 years. The year 2025 marks 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
The book said that these 11 years have been dedicated to bringing about development that is inclusive, progressive, and sustainable. 'The government under Prime Minister Modi has been steadfast in its commitment to creating equity and opportunity for all citizens,' it added.'PM Modi has brought the politics of development - Vikasvaad - into the mainstream, making it the focal point around which political discourse and policy action now revolve,' it reads.
The book said that since assuming office in 2014, PM Modi has remained firm in his resolve to keep 'India First' in every policy formulation and action. It added that the resolve is evident in the government's handling of both external and internal security, economic management, empowerment schemes for marginalised groups, efforts at cultural conservation and so on.
Highlighting the government's steps in handling COVID-19, the book said, 'Prime Minister Modi's government has always believed in setting challenging targets and achieving them before the set deadline. This can be seen across sectors, whether it is in vaccinating the entire eligible population in record time against Covid-19, recording the nation's highest ever exports in history, in the digital revolution which is taking place across India, in achieving monumental targets for rural electrification, in building world-class infrastructure or in providing drinking water facilities across households.'
It emphasised that there has been a paradigm shift in public service delivery and the implementation of government schemes using the JAM Trinity - Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, and Mobile - in the last 11 years.
'In the last 11 years, there has been a paradigm shift in public service delivery and the implementation of government schemes using the JAM Trinity - Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, and Mobile. JAM Trinity is the key enabler of India's transformed and well-developed digital landscape. It has removed intermediaries and permits direct transfer of benefits into an intended beneficiary's bank account.'
Emphasising the government's action for conservation of the environment, it said, 'Under Prime Minister Modi, India has championed environmental protection globally, emerging as a leader of the movement. The United Nations declared June 21st as International Yoga Day, an acknowledgement of the global recognition of the heritage.
It also mentioned Operation Sindoor, describing it as a demonstration of a new India--resolute, swift, and sovereign in action. 'India's assertion on the global stage has also undergone a remarkable evolution. The success of Operation SINDOOR demonstrated a new India--resolute, swift, and sovereign in action.'
The book is a comprehensive compendium about India's transformation under PM Modi's 'visionary leadership across fourteen facets of policymaking, ranging from infrastructure to foreign policy to social justice'.
The book has 14 chapters, highlighting developmental aspects in different social, technological and educational sectors. It also noted the government's efforts to lift the marginalised class and different sections of society. (ANI)

Bengaluru–Mangaluru High-Speed Corridor Takes Off: DPR Work Begins
Mangaluru: In a major boost to Karnataka's infrastructure ambitions, the much-anticipated high-speed expressway between Bengaluru and Mangaluru is one step closer to reality, with the Detailed Project Report (DPR) preparation now officially underway. Dakshina Kannada MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta announced that the tendering process for the DPR has been completed by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, and the DPR work commenced as of April 30. The report is expected to take around 18 months to complete. "This is a transformative step for the region," said Chowta, who has been lobbying for the project over the past year. "Once realised, this corridor will not only reduce travel time between Bengaluru and Mangaluru drastically but also give a fillip to trade, tourism, and economic activity across southern Karnataka." The expressway, envisioned as a four-to-eight-lane high-speed road, is expected to run via Hassan district. When completed, it will slash travel time — currently 7 to 8 hours by road — to under 5 hours, depending on the final alignment and engineering specifications. Equally important, the all-weather corridor will improve safety, reduce congestion, and ensure seamless connectivity between Karnataka's hinterland and its vital port city. Chowta has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, and officials at the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for prioritising the project. He emphasised that it would unlock new growth opportunities for Mangaluru port, enhance the logistics backbone of the region, and strengthen industrial corridors extending to neighbouring districts. In a related proposal, the MP has suggested the preparation of a joint DPR for road and rail connectivity through the ecologically sensitive Shiradi Ghat. Located in the Western Ghats, this zone has long posed engineering and environmental challenges. A coordinated approach involving the NHAI and Indian Railways could streamline approvals from forest and environment ministries, Chowta said. He revealed that the Railways is already exploring a dedicated rail line through the Ghat section, and has urged the formation of a joint technical committee to examine the feasibility of an integrated road-rail corridor — a move that could reduce infrastructure duplication while protecting the fragile ecosystem. With political will and technical groundwork falling into place, the Bengaluru–Mangaluru Expressway could soon evolve from blueprint to blacktop — redefining coastal Karnataka's access to markets, jobs, and growth.

India's policy of zero tolerance against terror is unshakable: Minister Rai
India has shown the world through Operation Sindoor that anyone who dares raise their eyes towards it will not be capable of seeing again, Minister of State (Home) Nityanand Rai said Tuesday. He was speaking at the 23rd edition of NSG's Counter-Terror International Seminar at Manekshaw Centre. 'The entire country has realised that in the fight against terrorism the Modi government has not shown any lack of political will or resources. This is new India and our policy of zero tolerance against terrorism is unshakable. There will be challenges, but the nation's security and dignity will remain top priority. We have shown and taught the world that anyone who dares raise their eyes towards India, will not be capable of seeing again,' Rai said. He said cowardly acts such as the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack do not weaken India, rather only strengthen its resolve. 'Through Operation Sindoor India has made it clear that it will answer any terror attack on its soil with courage and determination and will also achieve success. The international community has now seen India's determination. We have always been votaries of peace and dialogue. But if anyone provokes us and threatens our sovereignty we will not only defend ourselves but also defeat the ill intentions of the enemy,' he said. The NSG's two-day flagship event, under the theme 'Forging Collaboration and Innovation to Counter Terror Threats and Address the Complexities of Modern Terrorism', aims to foster inter-agency coordination, operational synergy, and strategic integration in Counter-Terrorism (CT) and Counter-IED operations. Initiating the seminar, NSG DG Brighu Srinivasan detailed NSG's continuing role in counter-terror efforts and the role its personnel played in defending the Jammu airport during Operation Sindoor. 'During Operation Sindoor, our personnel played a special role in neutralising a drone with explosive payload near Jammu airport. Last month, along with state police and the RPF, counter-terror exercise was organised in the railways in Jammu. In future, train intervention exercises will be increased,' he said. According to the NSG chief, a security audit of inland water tourist liners in India was conducted by the force recently and anti-hijack exercises were carried out on cruise liners running on the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers. Delegations from over 17 foreign countries including the US, Russia, Japan, Israel, Germany, and Indonesia are participating, along with senior officers from state police forces, CAPFs, the Army and intelligence agencies.

State got 10 times more central funds during Modi's 11 years than UPA rule: CM
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Tuesday said that during the eleven years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government, Maharashtra received ten times more funds for major projects compared to the UPA rule. Fadnavis was addressing the media in Mumbai to celebrate eleven years of the Modi government and its achievements. 'During the eleven years of PM Narendra Modi-led NDA government, Maharashtra has received Rs 10.50 lakh crore for mega projects across the sectors. This amount is ten times more than what UPA has allocated to the state during its tenure from 2004 to 2014 — Rs 1.23 lakh,' Fadnavis claimed. While outlining the Modi government's eleven years, Fadnavis said, 'Today Modi and India are synonymous. Modi has made a huge impact globally. He has brought transformation through accountability and transparency in governance. The corruption menace has been effectively tackled. The policies and schemes are now directed to targeted beneficiaries through administrative reforms and mechanisms which are closely monitored.' The chief minister said that the state received maximum support from the Centre to fast-track mega infrastructure projects pending for the last four decades. He noted that key projects like Coastal road, Navi Mumbai Airport, Vadhavan Port, Samruddhi Mahamarg became a reality because of the Centre's help. Railway Projects worth Rs 1.75 lakh crore and other infrastructure works Rs 6 lakh crore are underway in the state, the CM added. The chief minister dismissed apprehensions from some quarters over the Dharavi Redevelopment Project. 'A handful of Congress leaders are raising questions which are baseless. All the eligible residents will be rehabilitated along with their house and commercial place in the same vicinity. And those who are ineligible will also be accommodated,' he reassured. Responding to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's allegations of rigging in last year's Maharashtra Assembly elections, Fadnavis said, 'I have effectively countered all his charges. I think there is no substance in what he is saying and any BJP karyakarta can give him befitting reply.' 'Rahul seems to be adopting a strategy to hammer a lie many times. It is said that if you cannot convince you confuse. This is exactly the tactic applied by him,' he added. Fadnavis, who also holds the Home portfolio, said that Maharashtra has successfully eliminated Naxalism. ' We are determined to bring development in remote villages which were once Naxal hubs,' he said adding, 'During the Congress rule in Chhattisgarh, the recruitment drive by the Naxalites had increased. Once the BJP returned to power, anti-Naxal operations have been in progress in full swing.' He said Naxalism will be completely wiped out by March 2026.
