News India Live, Digital Desk: On completion of 11 years of Narendra Modi’s government, India has seen remarkable changes on economic, social, technical and diplomatic fronts. From 2014 to 2025, the country has become a strong, more self -sufficient and digitally strong nation. With extensive reforms, infrastructure development and welfare schemes, the Modi era has given a new shape to India’s direction.
When Narendra Modi took charge in 2014, India’s economy was struggling with dull development, high inflation and policy paralysis. The GDP growth rate was around 6.4%, while inflation was more than 8%, affecting domestic expenses. The economic reforms made by the government over the years, including the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Insolvency Code (IBC), helped to stabilize the economy.
The introduction of GST in 2017 strengthened the complex indirect tax system, leading to an increase in trade efficiency. The IBC launched in 2016 provided a structured mechanism to address corporate loans, leading to more transparency in financial solutions.
The country’s nominal GDP, which was around $ 2 trillion in 2014, is estimated to cross the $ 5 trillion by 2025, which fulfills one of the major promises of PM Modi. Major initiatives like “Make in India” and “self -sufficient India” have promoted domestic manufacturing, making India more self -sufficient and less dependent on imports.
Digital change
In 2014, India was primarily a cash-based economy, with a very low role of digital transactions. However, the government’s Digital India campaign launched in 2015 changed the scenario. The introduction of Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in 2016 made digital payments easily and accessible to the common people. Platforms like Google Pay, PhonePe and Paytm became famous from house to house, causing revolution in daily transactions.
The UPI transactions were negligible in 2014. The “Jan Dhan Yojana” launched in 2014 also played an important role in financial inclusion, bringing out more than 50 crore banking services to formal banking system. Today, India stands as a leader in digital financial inclusion, even small sellers are accepting payment through QR code.
Bounce in infrastructure
There has been a huge increase in India’s infrastructure during the tenure of the Modi government. In 2014, there was a delay in road and highway construction due to bureaucracy barriers and funding issues. In the next decade, the government carried forward infrastructure projects rapidly. Construction of highways increased from 4,000 kilometers per year in 2014 to about 12,000 km per year by 2025, which led to a significant improvement in connectivity.
The introduction of Bharatmala and Sagarmala projects led to the promotion of road and port infrastructure, increasing logistics efficiency. The flight plan launched in 2016 improved regional airports by setting up 100 new airports, making air travel accessible to small cities. The introduction of India’s first semi-high-speed train, Vande Bharat trains made the journey comfortable and reduced the time of travel.
Defense and security
In 2014, India depended on defense imports to meet its security needs. Over the years, the Modi government has focused on self -sufficiency in defense production. Through the “Make in India” initiative, the country started manufacturing indigenous defense equipment, which reduced dependence on foreign suppliers.
India’s defense exports, which were around Rs 2,000 crore in 2014, are estimated to cross Rs 20,000 crore by 2025. Indigenous products such as Tejas fighter aircraft, BrahMos missiles and Pinaka rocket systems are now being exported to countries such as Indonesia, Philippines and Armenia. The Agneepath scheme launched in 2022 modernized the armed forces by recruiting young soldiers on a four -year contract, which improved the strength and efficiency of India’s army.
social welfare
One of the biggest achievements of the Modi government is to focus on social welfare and poverty alleviation. In 2014, welfare schemes were fragmented and implemented poorly. The government introduced direct profit transfer (DBT) to streamlinents welfare distribution, reduce leakage and corruption.
The Ayushman Bharat Scheme launched in 2018 became the world’s largest healthcare initiative, which provided health insurance coverage of Rs 5 lakh to more than 55 crore people. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) provided affordable housing to millions of people, under which more than 3 crore houses will be built by 2025. The Ujjwala scheme launched in 2016 gave free LPG connections to more than 9 crore rural families, which improved the quality of life by using clean cooking fuel instead of smoke stoves.
80 crore people were given free ration under the PM Garib Kalyan Ann Yojana launched during the Kovid-19 epidemic. In 2025, the government will continue to provide subsidized food grains to ensure food security for the underprivileged.
Education and skill development
In 2014, India’s education system required modernization to meet global standards. The new education policy (NEP) introduced in 2020 marked a significant improvement by replacing the 10+2 system with 5+3+3+4 structure, emphasizing skill development and multi-disciplinary education.
By 2025, the government aims to set up 500 Kaushal Bharat Kendra, which provides training in emerging techniques such as AI, robotics and data science, which improves the employment capacity of the youth. Additionally, initiatives like PM Evidya and Self Self have made online education accessible, especially during epidemic, which has boosted digital literacy across the country.
foreign policy
India’s global influence was limited in 2014, but Modi’s active diplomacy increased the country’s situation. India strengthened relations with Southeast Asian and South Asian countries through initiatives like Act East Policy and Neberhood First. The government’s focus on bilateral trade agreements and strategic partnership with countries such as the US, Japan, Australia and France established India as a prominent player on the global stage.
In 2023, hosting the G20 summit showed India’s growing leadership in making global economic decisions. In 2015, India co-established the International Solar Alliance (ISA) promoted global cooperation on renewable energy.
Renewable energy and stability
India’s renewable energy capacity was limited in 2014. However, the Modi government gave priority to green energy, making India one of the biggest producers of solar and wind energy. The solar capacity of the country, which was around 2.6 GW in 2014, is estimated to exceed 150 GW by 2025.
