Union Minister Jitendra Singh today described the journey of 11 years of the Narendra Modi government as one of bold decisions, futuristic reforms and transformative governance. In an interview, Dr Singh asserted that these years have redefined the country’s development narrative and restored public faith in the system. Dr Singh said the past decade has seen the government setting new benchmarks in decision-making by prioritising long-term national interest. He added that the rollout of GST, the push for Digital India, the opening up of strategic sectors like space and atomic energy to private players, each initiative has been driven by the vision of a self-reliant and globally competitive India.
Dr Singh also underlined that the Department of Biotechnology’s expanded role in fostering innovation, particularly in vaccine development, genetic research, and bio-entrepreneurship, as part of the broader science and technology thrust that has positioned India as a rising global tech hub. The Minister also highlighted that space technology, once limited to rocket launches, is now improving daily life through applications like telemedicine, agricultural weather updates, and online education.
Drawing attention to Special Campaign 4.0, the Minister underscored that under the campaign, departments not only cleared massive backlogs of files but also turned e-waste into valuable resources. He added that such efforts have brought a culture of order and accountability into government functioning. The Minister also cited Mission Karmayogi as a major structural reform stating that bureaucratic accountability and ease of governance have significantly improved.
On the foreign policy, Dr. Jitendra Singh said the Prime Minister has succeeded in positioning India as a global leader that commands respect and strategic importance. The Minister also said that the foundation has been laid for the next 25 years, leading up to India at 100.
