16 May 2014 – a day which will be remembered as one of the most important days in Indian history forever. Whether you like Narendra Modi or hate him, whether you agree with him or not, his coming to power with an astounding majority changed the course of the national politics, and of course, the nation. There were (and still are) many expectations from the man whom many consider as a man with magic wand ! Though that is harsh on our part to expect him to act like a magician, his hardwork, dedication, grit, resolve, perseverance, honesty and integrity are unquestionable. In the last 2 years as the Prime Minister, he has worked 14-15 hours a day without taking a single day off. What are the results ? Has there been any positive change ? Let us briefly go through the major achievements of the government in 2 years.

1. JANA-DHANA YOJANA : This is undoubtedly the most important achievement of the government to provide the poorest section of society access to banks, thereby relieving them from clutches of moneylenders and frauds. In last 2 years under this scheme, 21.74 crore new bank accounts have been opened which have Rs. 37,500 crore deposited in them.

2. ATAL PENSION YOJANA : Under this scheme, poor people can deposit money per year and the government will deposit some amount. Depending on the amount deposited, the beneficiary will get a pension after the age of 60. This will change the lifestyle of daily wage earners who didnt have source of income after they grew old.

3. PM JEEVAN JYOTI BEEMA YOJANA : Under this scheme of the central government, on the payment of Rs. 330 annually (Less than Re.1 per day), the beneficiary gets an amount of Rs.200,000 during the time of crisis (death/health)

4. SWACHHA BHARAT SCHEME : This is another pet scheme of the government which has yielded visible results. Public places, railway stations, bus terminals, streets etc are much cleaner than before. Railways have introduced cleaning on sms facility which is working effectively.

5. COAL AUCTION : The transparent coal auction has earned the government about Rs. 10,00,000 crores. This has also ensured that every amount of coal being mined is accounted for. Due to this, coal production was at its highest. India has saved about Rs.40,000 crore PER YEAR because India no longer imports thermal coal.

6. NATIONAL HIGHWAYS : National Highways construction rate has gone up to its ever highest at about 23 km/day. The national highway network has expanded really fast in the last two years. By next year, the government is targeting to increase it to a further whopping 44 km/day.

7. RAILWAYS : Well, I dont think I will be able to write about the massive changes that has occured in Railways in just 2 years. The construction of new railway lines, electrification and doubling of lines are at all time high. Railways is pro-active on social media and every help is answered and every problem promptly solved. More focus is being laid on strengthening of tracks, auditing of train running, decentralisation of power to Zonal offices for prompt action to name a few. Also, Dedicated Freight corridor work has been massively speeded up and is nearing completion.

8. UREA PRODUCTION : Urea Production has been at its all time high with 245 MT being produced in 2015-2016. Due to Neem coating of urea, the corruption and crisis of urea has almost come to an end since neem coated urea is not suitabel for industries (http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=138461 )

9. LPG SUBSIDY : Just on the call of the PM, 1.13 Crore Indians have voluntarily given up their subsidies. This, along with PAHAL (Direct benefit transfer to the bank accounts), government of India is saving 21,000 CRORE ANNUALLY. Because of this, 3 crore poor households who couldnt afford LPG have been given LPG Connection. Government has sanctioned another 8000 crore for providing LPG Connection to 5 crore more families in next 3 years. ( http://www.business-standard.com/…/govt-saves-rs-21-000-cro… )

10. RATION CARDS : 1.6 CRORE fake ration cards and 3.5 crore fake beneficiaries have been DELETED under JanDhan-Adhar-Mobile scheme, due to which Government of India is saving Rs. 27,000 CRORE ANNUALLY ( http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…/articlesh…/52214915.cms )

11. BLACK MONEY : You may keep whining and taunting about 15 lakh, but the government has unearthed tax evasion and illegal money stashed abroad to the tunes of Rs. 71,000 CRORE. It has also recovered another ~40,000 crore in the last two years.

12. ELECTRIFICATION : Under the ambitious plan to electrify 18,500 villages in India within the time frame of 1000 days, Power ministry is working on a war footing to brighten the lives of millions of people. As of now, 7,766 villages have been electrified. This can always be tracked on (http://garv.gov.in/dashboard )

13. LED Scheme : 10,45,00,000 LED Bulbs have been distributed by the government which has saved Rs. 5400 CRORE per year by saving 14,000 MWh energy ANNUALLY. You can track this on the official website of UJALA ( http://www.ujala.gov.in/ )

14. SAGAR MALA PROJECT : To dramatically improve India’s business by modernising and constructing ports all along the 7500 km of coastline, government has started to work in order to modernise the ports. (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/…/articles…/51176301.cms )

15. NO CORRUTION : The last two years have been corruption free. There has been NO SCAM at the central government level. Due to installation of Biometric attendance, babus and public servants are on time. Senior Bureaucrats are being prosecuted, kicked out and fired for non-performance.. 105 officers have been fired/retired in last few months ( http://www.business-standard.com/…/for-good-governance-fina… )

I dont know what people mean by “Achhe Din”, so I wont comment on that. But definitely, the last two years have been an example of good governance, efficiency and hard work to lead the nation on the path of development !

KEEP CALM AND TRUST MODI !
