Over the last 12 years, the NDA Government has worked to further women-led development. And, this is visible across sectors.
From financial inclusion and entrepreneurship to education, healthcare, sanitation, housing, sports, science and governance, women are playing a prominent role across diverse sectors.
The efforts of the NDA Government are rooted in dignity, opportunity and empowerment. They have helped create an environment where women can realise their full potential and contribute even more strongly to nation-building.

The success of India’s energy diplomacy under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji bears positive results even as the world is faced with serious geopolitical crises. Our energy imports continue uninterrupted even as supply chains choke. We are able to ensure easy availability of fuel for our citizens even as countries worldwide struggle to make energy ends meet. We are able to do this because India has diversified its import basket to 41 sources from the basket of 27 that existed in 2014.
India not only secured its energy needs, but emerged stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for the future.
While many countries struggled with shortages and soaring prices, India protected its citizens because we planned ahead, diversified supply chains, strengthened strategic reserves, expanded sourcing options, and took difficult decisions when required.
PM Modi Ji’s vision has never been limited to managing crises. His vision is to use every crisis as an opportunity to build the future.
India’s ethanol blending programme has grown from approximately 1.5% to the threshold of a 20% blending economy. Flex-fuel technology is creating new opportunities for consumers and farmers. E85-compatible vehicles will provide more fuel choices, lower operating costs, and reduce dependence on imported crude.
At the same time, India is positioning itself at the forefront of the global clean-energy transition. Through the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the country is laying the foundation for a new energy ecosystem that can power industries, create jobs, attract investment, and strengthen energy independence.
Yes, Britain famously transferred wealth to India. When British arrived in India its share of the world economy was 4%. When they left in 1947, they had taken it to 23%, roughly equal to all of Europe combined.
On a serious note.
The Indian railways were financed entirely by bonds sold on the London Stock Exchange. British investors were guaranteed a return of 5% per annum by the colonial government. A guaranteed return, in an era when no other safe investment in Britain offered anything close. And who guaranteed those returns? Indian taxpayers. Indians paid for the construction. Indians paid the guaranteed profits to British shareholders. Indians paid for the equipment, which was manufactured exclusively in Britain and shipped to India at inflated prices. One mile of Indian railway cost twice what the same mile cost to build in Canada or Australia, because the guaranteed return meant there was no incentive to control costs. The more it cost, the more British investors and suppliers earned.
And what were these railways designed to do? Move raw materials from India’s interior to ports. Cotton from the Deccan to Bombay. Jute from Bengal to Calcutta. Coal from Bihar to wherever the Empire needed it. Tea from Assam to London’s drawing rooms. The routes connected mines and plantations to harbors. Not cities to cities. Not people to opportunities. Raw materials to ships. The Indian public’s transportation needs were, as Shashi Tharoor put it, entirely incidental.
Oh, and the railways also moved troops. Very efficiently. So that when Indians protested being looted, the British could deploy soldiers to shoot them. That was the other “infrastructure investment.”
But wait, there is more. Before the railways, India had the world’s finest textile industry. The British smashed the looms, broke the weavers’ thumbs (this is not metaphor, this is documented history), imposed tariffs on Indian cloth, and shipped raw cotton to Manchester to be manufactured into garments that were then sold back to Indians. India went from being the world’s largest textile exporter to an importer of British cloth within a generation.
The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed an estimated 3 million people. Churchill diverted food supplies from Bengal to already well-supplied British troops and European stockpiles. When informed of the famine, his response, on the record, was to ask why Gandhi had not died yet. This is the “infrastructure investor” Musk is defending.
India contributed 2.5 million soldiers to fight in two World Wars on Britain’s behalf.
So let us summarize the colonial “investment” in India. They took a 23% global economy and left it at 4%. They destroyed the world’s finest textile industry. They built railways with Indian money, for Indian resources, generating British profits. They engineered famines that killed millions. They drained an estimated $45 trillion in today’s value over 200 years.
That’s some unprofitable adventure.
However, the true measure of last-mile governance lies in ensuring pothole-free roads, reliable access to clean tap water, and corruption-free delivery of public services. For many citizens, these remain daily challenges that deserve urgent attention.
@narendramodi ji, congratulations on #12YearsOfGaribKalyan. Initiatives like Jan Dhan, DBT, PM Awas, Jal Jeevan Mission, and Ayushman Bharat have brought hope, dignity, and empowerment to millions of poor Indians.
Over the last 12 years, India has witnessed many transformations and at the core of these changes is the welfare of the poor and downtrodden. We have always been inspired by Antyodaya and our effort has always been to ensure that the benefits of development reach those who were left behind for decades. From Jan Dhan accounts and Direct Benefit Transfer to Swachh Bharat, PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, Ayushman Bharat and more, every initiative has been driven by a simple objective of ensuring people have dignity and opportunity.

Our Desi manufactured clip fan is now #1 on Amazon Best Sellers in its category.
In just 1 month.
We have out ranked all major old established brands.
Each and every other fan on this top sellers list is imported from China.🇨🇳
We are the ONLYFANS of BHARAT😉
People keep saying India cannot manufacture world-class products.
This is proof we can.
Quality, execution and intent counts.
This fan is a tiny example of what Bharat can do when we decide to build instead of import.
India can and will be #1 if done right.
Let's build it here. 🇮🇳💪🏽
Today the Indore High Court has delivered a historic verdict, the Court has granted the Hindu side the right to worship and has recognised the Bhojshala complex as belonging to Raja Bhoj.
Dharm ki jay ho, Adharm ka Naash ho🚩
Jai Maa Vaag Devi🙏🏻
This is totally false.
Not an iota of truth in this.
There is no question of putting such restrictions on foreign travel.
We remain committed to improving ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and ‘Ease of Living’ for our people.
This GLISCO-DS sepoy of China from Sri Lanka promotes "belt & road" infra according to his own profile.
Belt & Road is where China takes over other countries' land, using debt trap diplomacy, and goes about developing with zero heed to the environment or concerns of the local people.
This hypocrite is now calling India's own environmentally responsible development of its own territory as "illegal."
The China run GLISCO-DS angle in trying to stall the strategic Great Nicobar project by India is becoming blatantly visible. All its resources and agents are emerging out in chorus.
If you are Indian, do not fall for their psyops and propaganda. Do not become their useful sepoy in stalling India's development and security.
Do not let them manipulate your politics, ideology, or empathy to try to make you a force to stall India's development and security.
You will be the one to face the consequences in the future as India is kept weak, under developed, and in disarray due to lack of growth and money.
For the last 70 years, external powers kept us lagging behind by creating hurdles for everything from power to minding to dams to ports using our own people, programming them to protest.
And after creating this stagnation, they program us to fight our own govt saying there's lack of infra, power, development, economic growth, to keep the country weak using our democracy.
Understand their plans and do not become their useful agent. It's not just China and its GLISCO-DS but many powers and countries do not want India developing the strategic Andaman & Nicobar.
Don't be silent when their agents try to program the young in India and the rest of us to fight it.
India has kept Nepal’s economy breathing for decades… open borders, jobs for lakhs of Nepalis, trade access via Indian ports, fuel pipelines, power projects, disaster relief, infrastructure, scholarships, even military cooperation.
And this is how Nepal Airlines responds?
A flight network map casually showing the entire Jammu & Kashmir region aligned with Pakistan.
This isn’t a “design choice.”
It’s a political statement.
At a time when India continues to be Nepal’s biggest partner, such messaging from a national carrier is not just irresponsible, it’s telling.
Fix the map.

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:
Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.
Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.
You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.
Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.
Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.
As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.
Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu
