As the Modi government marks 11 years in power on June 9, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India is changing fast — and for the better. Guided by the principle of Antyodaya (upliftment of the last person), the government has emphasized inclusive development through saturation of key welfare schemes.

Backed by international reports and measurable outcomes, Modi’s governance model has been credited with lifting millions out of poverty while expanding access to essential services like water, electricity, healthcare, and digital tools.
