India has achieved a remarkable 69% reduction in malaria cases, dropping from 6.4 million in 2017 to just 2 million in 2023—a monumental success attributed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s focused policies and leadership. The milestone is part of PM Modi’s larger goal to eliminate malaria by 2030, a commitment made at the 2015 East Asia Summit.

This achievement has drawn global praise, with the World Malaria Report recognizing India as a global success story in tackling the deadly disease. PM Modi’s proactive approach, coupled with targeted interventions like the widespread distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets and enhanced diagnostic infrastructure, has transformed malaria control in India.

“In a nation where healthcare access once depended on privilege, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has redefined the very foundation of public health, ensuring that no Indian is left behind. He has had a vast experience in public life and governance before becoming the Prime Minister, and so when he says ‘Modi ki Guarantee’ he has a blueprint for action in his mind,” said Senior BJP leader and Union Health Minister JP Nadda.

But the malaria victory is just one chapter in PM Modi’s larger healthcare revolution. From tribal villages to urban slums, the Modi government has worked tirelessly to make healthcare a reality for all. Nadda emphasized that these reforms are part of a larger vision under PM Modi, which includes not just eradicating diseases but transforming the entire healthcare ecosystem.

“Before 2014, healthcare in India was a neglected domain, even 70 years after independence. It was PM Modi’s visionary leadership that brought unprecedented reforms and gave healthcare the attention it deserved,” Nadda added.

Beyond malaria, PM Modi’s healthcare reforms have revolutionized the sector, making healthcare more accessible and affordable for crores.

The increase in government spending on health has made this possible. The health budget has grown by 85%, from ₹47,353 crore in 2017-18 to ₹87,657 crore in 2024-25. Additionally, the 15th Finance Commission has allocated ₹70,051 crore to local governments, ensuring that resources reach every corner of the country.

Before PM Modi took office in 2014, healthcare in India was a burden on the poor. Families often had to choose between medical treatment and other basic necessities. That’s changing rapidly. Out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure, which was a staggering 64.2% in 2013-14, has dropped to just 39.4% in 2021-22. This means fewer families are forced into debt just to access medical care.

Take Ayushman Bharat, for instance. With over 1,75,418 Health & Wellness Centres operational across the country, rural families no longer need to travel long distances for basic medical care. These centers have become the lifeline for crores, offering diagnostics, treatment, and even preventive care at their doorstep.

Highlighting the success of Ayushman Bharat, Nadda stated, “For the urban poor, Ayushman Bharat’s health insurance scheme is a game-changer. Over 55 crore people from 12.37 crore families now have access to ₹5 lakh of annual health coverage, ensuring that no illness plunges a family into poverty. And in Modi 3.0, even senior citizens over 70 years of age are covered, regardless of their income. This is healthcare with dignity, something that was unimaginable a decade ago.”

Key Highlights in Healthcare:

• Malaria cases dropped by 69%, from 6.4 million in 2017 to 2 million in 2023.
• Out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure reduced from 64.2% in 2013-14 to 39.4% in 2021-22.
• Health budget increased by 85%, from ₹47,353 crore in 2017-18 to ₹87,657 crore in 2024-25.
• 1,75,418 Ayushman Bharat Health & Wellness Centres operational nationwide.
• ₹70,051 crore allocated for health initiatives through local governments.

JP Nadda summed it up perfectly, “Before 2014, healthcare was a neglected domain. Today, whether you’re rich or poor, living in a remote village or a metro city, you’re part of a system that guarantees quality healthcare. This is New India under PM Modi which is fast transforming into a Viksit Bharat where healthcare is for all.”

Prime Minister reaffirms commitment to wildlife conservation on World Wildlife Day; shares Sanskrit Subhashitam
March 03, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that World Wildlife Day is about celebrating the incredible faunal diversity that enriches our planet and sustains our ecosystems. He said it is a day to acknowledge everyone working towards wildlife protection and reaffirm our commitment to conservation, sustainable practices and protecting habitats so that wildlife continues to thrive.

The Prime Minister noted that India cherishes being home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife. He highlighted that India is home to over 70% of the world’s tiger population, has the largest population of the one-horned rhino and the maximum number of Asiatic elephants. He further stated that India is the only place in the world where the majestic Asiatic lion thrives.

The Prime Minister underlined that the Government has undertaken numerous efforts for wildlife protection. These include the setting up of the International Big Cat Alliance as an exceptional forum to share best practices with fellow nations. Other efforts include initiatives aimed at protecting the Great Indian Bustard, Gharial and Sloth Bear, as well as the translocation of cheetahs.

Emphasising India’s cultural ethos, the Prime Minister said that our scriptures pray for the welfare of all living beings and inspire sensitivity towards wildlife along with conservation. He shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam on this occasion which says-

“निर्वनो वध्यते व्याघ्रो निर्व्याघ्रं छिद्यते वनम्। तस्माद् व्याघ्रो वनं रक्षेद् वनं व्याघ्रं च पालयेत्॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that without forests, tigers perish; and without tigers, forests are destroyed. Therefore, the tiger protects the forest and the forest protects the tiger, underscoring the deep interdependence of nature.

In a series of X posts, Shri Modi said;

“World Wildlife Day is about celebrating the incredible faunal diversity that enriches our planet and sustains our ecosystems. It is a day to acknowledge everyone working towards wildlife protection. We reaffirm our commitment to conservation, sustainable practices and protecting habitats so that our wildlife continues to thrive.”

“We in India cherish the fact that we are home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife. We are home to over 70% of the world’s tiger population. We have the largest population of the one-horned rhino, the maximum Asiatic elephants. India is the only place in the world where the majestic Asiatic lion thrives.”

“The NDA Government has undertaken numerous efforts for wildlife protection. This includes the setting up of the International Big Cat Alliance, an exceptional forum to share best practices with fellow nations. Other efforts include those aimed at protecting the Great Indian Bustard, Gharial, Sloth Bear and translocation of cheetahs.”

“आज World Wildlife Day है। हमारे शास्त्रों में सभी जीवों के कल्याण की कामना की गई है। उनसे हमें वन्यजीवों के संरक्षण के साथ-साथ उनके प्रति संवेदनशील होने की प्रेरणा भी मिलती है। उसका एक उदाहरण यह है… निर्वनो वध्यते व्याघ्रो निर्व्याघ्रं छिद्यते वनम्। तस्माद् व्याघ्रो वनं रक्षेद् वनं व्याघ्रं च पालयेत्॥”
