Nine years of Modi Govt: North East India gets development boost, new airports and better connectivity


India climbed up six places in the World Bank's Logistic Performance Index 2023, as investments in soft and hard infrastructure as well as technology helped the country improve its port performance. India is now ranked 38 in the 139 countries index, up from 44 in 2018. 

India's target is to be among top 25 countries by 2030.


The Northeast India has been propelled as gateway to Southeast Asia due to its unique offerings in tourism, horticulture, handloom and sports, goes another line of assertion and campaign.

 In order to respect public opinion and appreciate the native sentiments, something considered overdue was done. They were noteworthy instances of recognition of hitherto unsung heroes including Lachit Borphukan and Rani Gaidinliu.


In terms of connectivity, the Bogeebil Rail-cum Road Bridge the longest rail cum road" project in India has been achieved. What has definitely excited the people of Manipur, the Jiribam-Imphal rail line, the world’s tallest girder rail bridge, has also been taken up.





Another such milestone has been the Dhola -Sadiya Bridge - which is India’s longest bridge.


"In line with India’s ethos of ‘Swasthya ke Saptrishisi’, Assam will be developed now as South Asia’s largest cancer hospital network and the state of Sikkim attained the stature of the first state in the world to become fully organic in farming in 2018," an official source said.



Officials also claim of good progress in organic farming in Meghalaya and agro-based products of Nagaland including Bhoot Jhaolkiia (hot green chilly) has reached London.

As part of its ninth-anniversary celebrations, various events planned by the ruling BJP will showcase how several welfare measures taken by the Narendra Modi government have accrued a host of direct and indirect benefits to millions of Indians, how these schemes have impacted their lives and elevated their standards of living.


While BJP’s blueprint for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha poll campaign is being drawn, it will undoubtedly revolve around several flagships schemes of the Narendra Modi government like 'The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana - that has benefited millions of Indian women and also prevented them from getting sick by providing them with smoke-free and safe fuel, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) - under which the government constructed more than 3 crore houses and provided them at an affordable price to the deprived section of the country.


Due to women-centric schemes launched by the Modi government, women, especially in rural India, need not go to faraway places to collect firewood which also saves them a lot of time that can be utilised for gainful employment. Similarly, the BJP dispensation at the Centre has built crores of toilets across the country to promote cleanliness and prevent ordinary Indian citizens from falling prey to various diseases caused by unhygienic conditions.


The presence of children in schools has also increased due to the construction of toilets or “Izzat Ghar” and the drop-out rate has declined significantly. It was PM Modi who first promoted the idea that having a toilet in the house of the poor means ensuring a dignified life to them. With initiatives like 'Nal Se Jal', the Union government ensured that millions of households get access to clean drinking water. 


As part of its policy to help the underprivileged, farmers and the poor, the Union government has announced a 10% Reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (General Category), it has directly transferred Rs 22.6 lakh crore to the beneficiaries under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and accorded constitutional status to the OBC Commission.


With flagship schemes like the Swachh Bharat Mission, Jan Dhan Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, Make In India, Digital India, Skill India among others, the saffron party has been able to project itself as a ‘pro-poor' and 'pro-farmer' party. 


With special emphasis on the financial inclusion of Indian citizens, PM Modi announced the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), the biggest financial inclusion initiative in the world, on 15th August 2014 from the ramparts of the Red Fort. While launching the Yojana, PM Modi hailed the occasion as a festival to celebrate the ''liberation of the poor from a vicious cycle.'' Under PMJDY, more than 45 crore bank accounts have been opened so far.
