For PM Modi, small targets are never enough. He aims high, and delivers even higher. He sets bold, ambitious targets and then ensures they are achieved, often ahead of schedule.
Former DFS Secretary Anurag Jain recalled that when the proposal for what became Jan Dhan Yojana was discussed, officials had estimated it would take until March 2016 to complete.
PM Modi wasnтАЩt convinced.
тАЬTwo years is too long.тАЭ
He pushed the deadline forward to 26 January 2015, saying the team had not yet fully accounted for the momentum that comes when the Prime Minister himself stands behind a mission.
And the result?
The target was achieved even before the revised deadline, in December 2014, ensuring that every family had at least one bank account.
A small anecdote, but one that says everything about his approach to governance. He never sets small targets; he has always set the bar high and consistently delivered, be it Jan Dhan, Ayushman Bharat, Ujjawala or any other scheme.
The performance of тАШHomage to the Triple GemтАЩ, by the artistes of the Vihara Dharma Ratna Group, was exceptional. It reflected the timeless teachings of Lord Buddha and the profound values embodied in the Triple Gem. It is heartening to see the rich Buddhist heritage being preserved and celebrated with such passion by the people of Indonesia.
In Jakarta, I was delighted to witness a graceful Bharatanatyam performance by the Samanvaya Group. It is gladdening to see these cherished traditions being preserved and presented with such dedication and excellence.
Witnessed a captivating performance of Wayang Kulit, IndonesiaтАЩs treasured shadow puppetry tradition, bringing the timeless story of the Ramayan to life. It was a moving reminder of how our shared civilisational heritage has travelled across seas and generations, taking on beautiful local expressions while preserving its eternal values. My compliments to the team, which is known as Ganesh, for the performance.
Touched by the warm welcome from the Indian community in Jakarta. Their affection and deep commitment to India's progress are truly inspiring. Our diaspora continues to strengthen India's bonds with the world through its achievements across diverse fields.
