NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi government will complete 100 days of its third term on Tuesday , on the PM's birthday.
A notable achievement during this period has been the emergence of 11 lakh more ' Lakhpati Didis '. Significantly, more than one crore lakhpati didis, who earn more than Rs 1 lakh per year, have been enrolled so far.
"Those questioning the govt on jobs, the emergence of lakhpati didis in such a number is an answer to them," said a senior govt functionary.
Government sources on Sunday released details of the performance of Modi 3.0 in its first 100 days, which highlighted that projects worth Rs 15 lakh crore have been sanctioned during the period. They said for the first time, when projects were launched, their inauguration dates were also announced simultaneously.
Sources also suggested that the infrastructure projects , which have been launched in these 100 days, were envisioned well in advance as officials were directed to prepare a 100-day roadmap before NDA govt's third term commenced.
"Job creation through these projects has been one of key achievements," a government source said and added, "we must understand that employment doesn't mean govt jobs only as several long-duration projects are planned with a focus on creating jobs".
BJP-led NDA govt has approved infrastructure projects worth Rs 3 lakh crore, including linking 25,000 unconnected villages to road networks and building a mega port at Wadhawan in Maharashtra, during its first 100 days in office.
Besides infrastructure, govt also took steps to boost agriculture by increasing the minimum support price (MSP) for Kharif crops, removing of minimum export price (MEP) on onions and basmati rice, and hiking duty on the import of crude palm, soybean and sunflower oils.
Government's move to add 75,000 new medical seats is another milestone achieved in its first 100 days, as it is seen to make the healthcare system more effective and reduce dependence on foreign medical education.
Disaster management has been another highlight of Modi 3.0. Apart from introducing the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill, 2024, as much as Rs 12,554 crore has been approved for states for urban flood management, firefighting services, handling glacial lake outburst, flood control, and other disaster mitigation efforts.
