Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the significant changes India has undergone in the past 12 years, with a strong focus on uplifting the poor and underprivileged. He mentioned that the government’s initiatives have been driven by the principle of Antyodaya, ensuring that development benefits reach those who have been marginalized for years.
Using the hashtag ’12 Years Of Garib Kalyan’ on the social media platform X, PM Modi showcased various welfare schemes introduced during his tenure and their positive impact on millions of lives nationwide. He highlighted flagship programs like Jan Dhan accounts, Direct Benefit Transfer, Swachh Bharat Mission, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, and Ayushman Bharat, aimed at providing dignity, opportunities, and better living standards to citizens.
PM Modi also emphasized the role of technology in governance and efficient delivery of welfare benefits. He mentioned that through Direct Benefit Transfer and digital platforms, support is now reaching people directly and transparently, reducing leakages, enhancing efficiency, and building trust in governance. This approach, according to him, has transformed the journey towards Garib Kalyan into a collective effort for human empowerment and realizing the vision of a developed India.
Prime Minister Modi is on the verge of achieving a historic milestone in Indian politics as he is set to become the country’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister on June 10. Surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru’s record of 4,398 days in office, PM Modi will mark 4,399 consecutive days in office. Since assuming office on May 26, 2014, he has led the nation through three consecutive Lok Sabha mandates, securing electoral victories in 2014, 2019, and 2024.
