The Narendra Modi Government has completed eleven years in the Centre. As has been the trend in the past, the government is now going to the people to request an honest assessment of their work. The mobile app of Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosts a Jan Man Survey, which has witnessed over 500,000 participants in the 26 hours since it was published.
Aimed at collecting public feedback on the Modi government’s performance as it completes one year of its third term, the survey reflects strong citizen engagement through its user-friendly interface on the NaMo App.
Covering key areas like governance, economic reforms, infrastructure, and social welfare schemes, it seeks to understand public priorities and opinions on government initiatives. BJP leaders hailed the overwhelming participation as a testament to the trust in PM Narendra Modi’s leadership, emphasizing the survey’s role in fostering participatory and responsive governance.
The NaMo App, a flagship platform for the party, facilitates this outreach with features like updates on schemes, PM Modi’s speeches, and interactive campaigns. A majority of the participants are from Uttar Pradesh (over 140,000), followed by Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu (over 60,000 responses). More than 40,000 responses were received from Gujarat. The questions encompass the achievements of the Modi Government, and also how they impact the lives of 140 Crore citizens.
Over the past decade, India’s counter-terrorism approach has shifted from strategic restraint to proactive retaliation, emphasizing zero tolerance for terrorism.
Key developments include the 2019 amendment to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, empowering the National Investigation Agency to designate individuals as terrorists, and high-profile operations like Balakot and Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan. Enhanced intelligence coordination, deradicalization efforts, and international cooperation, particularly with the U.S., have bolstered India’s multi-pronged strategy against diverse terror threats.
Clearly, the citizens feel far more safer today than before. India’s response to terrorism has been complemented by stellar diplomacy, and the responses and sentiment of the diaspora are a testament to this achievement of the government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s welfare policies have significantly transformed rural India, uplifting millions through targeted schemes. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) has provided over 4 crore pucca houses, ensuring dignified living for rural families, particularly empowering women as homeowners.
The Ujjwala Yojana has delivered clean cooking fuel to 10 crore households, reducing health risks from smoke and enhancing women’s safety and convenience.
The Jal Jeevan Mission has brought piped water to millions, improving health and reducing the burden on women fetching water. Financial inclusion via the Jan Dhan Yojana has integrated over 53 crore people into the banking system, enabling access to credit and insurance. The PM-KISAN scheme, disbursing ₹3.68 lakh crore to 11 crore farmers, has bolstered agricultural livelihoods.
The Swachh Bharat Mission has made villages open defecation-free, improving sanitation and dignity, especially for girls. Ayushman Bharat has offered free healthcare to millions, easing financial burdens. These initiatives, coupled with rural electrification and road connectivity, have reduced poverty, with over 250 million lifted out of it, fostering vibrant, self-reliant villages and aligning with Modi’s vision of inclusive growth.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India’s digital infrastructure has undergone a transformative overhaul, positioning the country as a global digital powerhouse.
The Digital India initiative, launched in 2015, has driven unprecedented connectivity and digital inclusion. The BharatNet project has connected over 2.5 lakh gram panchayats with high-speed broadband, bridging the rural-urban digital divide.
The expansion of 4G and ongoing 5G rollout by 2025 has made India’s telecom network one of the world’s largest, with over 1.2 billion mobile subscribers.
The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), handling over 50% of global digital transactions by volume, has revolutionized payments, empowering small businesses and rural economies. Aadhaar, linking 1.3 billion citizens, has streamlined welfare delivery, ensuring transparency and reducing leakages.
Initiatives like DigiLocker and e-Governance platforms have digitized services, enhancing accessibility for millions. The National Digital Health Mission is creating a robust digital healthcare ecosystem. Investments in data centers and cybersecurity, alongside policies promoting digital literacy, have empowered citizens, with 80% internet penetration by 2025.
These efforts have spurred innovation, created millions of jobs, and attracted global tech investments, aligning with Modi’s vision of a self-reliant, digitally empowered India driving inclusive growth and global competitiveness.
The Jan Man Survey intends to capture the sentiment across the nation when it comes to this overall transformation of the country. As the government completes eleven years, people will have a lot to talk about, a lot to look back at, and a lot to look forward to. For the Modi Government, the task is cut out. Ushering in changes and reforms that take India towards the goal of a ten trillion-dollar economy.
