The ecosystem was largely confined to a few metros, weighed down by compliance burdens that discouraged risk-taking. As of March 2026, India has surpassed 2 lakh DPIIT-recognised startups, with a record 55,200 added in FY 2025-26 alone; a 51% jump year-on-year. https://www.narendramodi.in/process-reforms-re-engineer-the-everyday-ease-of-business-in-the-modi-era-605680 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T16:53:00+05:30 Process Reforms Re-engineer the Everyday Ease of Business in the Modi Era Process reforms have become one of the strongest drivers of India’s economic transformation.

The way a country manages its municipal solid waste directly affects groundwater, rivers, soil quality, air pollution, and urban liveability. Since 2014, India’s approach has shifted from unscientific dumping systems to structured waste collection, segregation, and processing, supported by infrastructure expansion, regulatory reforms, and citizen participation. This transition successfully shows the effort of the Modi Government to link urban growth with environmental responsibility. https://www.narendramodi.in/india-s-climate-action-policy-in-a-development-context--605679 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T16:38:00+05:30 India's Climate Action Policy in a Development Context Climate policy in India under Prime Minister Naredra Modi has been shaped within a developmental context rather than as a standalone environmental question.

In India, this response has taken multiple forms, expanding renewable energy, improving forest cover, and strengthening systems to deal with floods, cyclones, and heatwaves. Over the past 12 years, the use of technology, especially emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to influence how climate challenges are understood and managed. https://www.narendramodi.in/from-passive-participants-to-nation-builders-how-india-s-youth-are-driving-innovation-and-leadership-605674 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T16:33:00+05:30 From Passive Participants to Nation Builders: How India’s Youth Are Driving Innovation and Leadership In the past, India’s youth were often viewed primarily as beneficiaries of development programmes rather than active participants in shaping the country’s future.

The central challenge has been to balance economic growth with ecological stability, where forests, wetlands, wildlife, and urban ecosystems are protected while infrastructure and industrial expansion continue.

A degree in hand did not always translate into a job. Opportunities were limited, hiring was slow, and the idea of starting a business was seen as uncertain and risky. Entrepreneurship lacked institutional support, access to capital was difficult, and most young Indians were conditioned to look for secure jobs rather than create them. https://www.narendramodi.in/from-job-seekers-to-nation-builders-the-rise-of-india-s-youth-power-twenty-twenty-six-605669 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T16:24:00+05:30 From Job Seekers to Nation Builders: The Rise of India’s Youth Power A decade ago, India’s massive youth population was often seen as a demographic challenge rather than a dividend. Millions of graduates entered the job market with limited opportunities, low employability, and few platforms to nurture innovation or sports talent. Starting a business was considered risky, and many bright young minds had to look abroad for better prospects. Sports was treated as a hobby rather than a serious career, and large sections of youth in rural and remote areas remained disconnected from quality education and skill development. https://www.narendramodi.in/gst-and-ibc-powering-india-s-new-economic-order-605668 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T16:22:00+05:30 GST & IBC: Powering India’s New Economic Order India’s economic growth today is no longer just about speed.

As early as 1957, Fairchild Semiconductors, the precursor to Intel, explored setting up a packaging unit in India. The proposal did not materialise, and that very opportunity later turned into Asia’s largest semiconductor packaging hub in Malaysia. Over the years, similar patterns repeated. India set up early fabrication efforts for silicon and germanium transistors, but these initiatives failed to sustain. The country’s premier chip facility, the Semi-Conductor Laboratory, suffered a major setback when a fire in 1989 halted production for years, effectively pushing India out of the semiconductor race at a critical moment. https://www.narendramodi.in/aspirational-districts-add-momentum-to-india-s-transformation--605658 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T16:04:00+05:30 Aspirational Districts Add Momentum to India’s Transformation Since Independence, India’s most backward districts were framed as zones of deprivation or theatres of conflict.

This meant, on average, almost three-quarters of out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure. For a significant percentage of the population, this meant that moving out of poverty was a road almost always blocked by large healthcare bills. This number, 62.6%, had defined the scale of India’s healthcare crisis for decades. That was the percentage of every rupee spent on health that came directly from a patient’s own pocket in 2014-15, not from insurance or the state. It was from families, often borrowing to pay for surgery, a cancer drug, or prolonged hospital care. With Prime Minister Modi at the helm, that number has fallen to 39% in 2025-26. This outcome is due to the cumulative effect of three policy instruments: Ayushman Bharat, the Jan Aushadhi Kendras, and the September 2025 GST reform, working towards lowering healthcare expenses and providing quality, affordable, and accessible healthcare for all. https://www.narendramodi.in/india-s-strategic-ascent-605653 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T15:58:00+05:30 India's Strategic Ascent The global balance of power is no longer centred on the Atlantic world.

For the middle class, especially, it remains a cornerstone of the dream, providing both a financial footing and an emotional anchor in an often-uncertain world. For decades, the Indian middle class faced significant obstacles in owning homes.

Even after major attacks, the focus remained on international pressure, official statements, and engagement through global forums. Since 2014, India’s approach has changed. Military response and deterrence have become part of the country’s security framework after major terror attacks. Operation Sindoor reflects this shift in South Asia’s security environment.

Similar delays affected highways, railway projects, and urban connectivity across the country, slowing economic growth and increasing logistics costs. https://www.narendramodi.in/enhancing-agricultural-productivity-india-s-mission-mode-transformation-since-2014-605632 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T15:06:00+05:30 Enhancing Agricultural Productivity: India’s Mission-Mode Transformation Since 2014 Reforms, policies that prioritise welfare of every annadata and interventions to create a more conducive ecosystem in Indian agriculture have sparked a new era of transformation. Traditionally focused on subsistence and food security, the sector faced challenges such as fragmented landholdings, low mechanisation, and unpredictable yields. Over the years, gradual modernisation began, but large-scale transformation remained limited. Major policy changes and initiatives adopted since 2014 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have transformed agriculture into a sustained, productivity-oriented economy powered by the engines of scale, science, and sustainability. https://www.narendramodi.in/statues-that-speak-from-colonial-symbols-to-civilisational-icons--605631 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T15:04:00+05:30 Statues That Speak: From Colonial Symbols to Civilisational Icons Public memory is written as much in stone and bronze as in books. For decades after Independence, many of India’s most visible spaces still carried colonial names, vacant pedestals or neutral symbols, as if the Republic hesitated to foreground its own civilisational inheritance. https://www.narendramodi.in/12-years-of-agricultural-growth-augmenting-farmers-income--605627 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T15:01:00+05:30 12 Years of Agricultural Growth: Augmenting Farmers’ Income India's agriculture sector employs a significant portion of the population and forms the backbone of the rural economy and food security. Agriculture is considered the primary sector as it provides livelihood support to about 42.3 percent of the population and has a share of 18.2 percent in the country’s GDP at current prices. Despite its greater composition, the interests of our Annadatas were compromised for many decades. Due to the absence of formal credit and adequate market access, their incomes were also compromised. https://www.narendramodi.in/rural-women-rebuilding-bharat-s-agricultural-economy-605630 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T14:59:00+05:30 Rural Women Rebuilding Bharat’s Agricultural Economy Bharat’s agriculture has always run on women’s labour.

India has moved beyond ensuring food security for its 140-crore population. In the last one decade, the country has transformed into a significant global food supplier, ranking at the top in many categories of agricultural commodity production. Foodgrain production touched a historic high of 357.73 MMT in 2024-25, reflecting an increase of 43 percent compared to 2013-14. Agricultural and allied exports have steadily climbed, reaching over USD 51 billion in FY25, despite global uncertainties. https://www.narendramodi.in/women-led-development-the-new-engine-of-india-s-growth--605623 Narendra Modi en 2026-05-24T14:31:00+05:30 Women-Led Development: The New Engine of India’s Growth India’s rise to a Viksit Bharat or Developed India, cannot be achieved by relying on only half its demographic strength.
