As the Narendra Modi-led government completes 11 years in office since taking charge in May 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) highlights key achievements that have significantly influenced India’s economic, infrastructural, and socio-political landscape. Over the years, various landmark reforms, schemes, and initiatives have been rolled out that aim to transform the country into a globally competitive and self-reliant nation.
Below are 11 key accomplishments under the Modi government that have had a substantial impact on India:
