When the government, under the visionary and dynamic leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, assumed office in 2014, the country was facing enormous challenges. With the mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" (Together with All, Development for All), the government overcame these challenges effectively. Over the past ten years, development programs have reached every household and individual through initiatives like housing for all, water for every home, electricity for all, cooking gas for all, and financial services for all. Concerns about food have been eliminated through free ration distribution for 800 million people. The minimum support prices for the produce of farmers (Annadata) have been appropriately increased periodically. The government is working towards making India a developed nation by 2047.
Over the last decade, with the pursuit of "Sabka Saath," the government has helped 250 million people escape multidimensional poverty. Nearly 10 million women have been supported to become "Lakhpati Didi" (millionaire sisters). Following the successful adoption of Nano Urea, the application of Nano DAP on various crops will be expanded across all agro-climatic zones. The government's efforts are now synergizing with the energy and passion of these empowered individuals, truly lifting them out of poverty.
The Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) using PM-Jan Dhan accounts has led to savings of INR 2.7 lakh crore for the government. Under the PM-SVANidhi scheme, the government has provided credit assistance to 7.8 million street vendors, with 230,000 receiving credit for the third time. The PM-JANMAN scheme reaches out to particularly vulnerable tribal groups, and the PM-Vishwakarma Yojana provides end-to-end support to artisans and craftspeople engaged in 18 trades.
