One of his first significant actions after taking office was to simplify governance. Modi replaced the requirement for a government official to notarize documents for bureaucratic processes. Instead, he encouraged a system of self-attestation for documents such as certificates and marksheets. This change aimed to reduce the time and expense faced by citizens, especially students and job seekers, when interfacing with government services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">In 2015, the JAM (Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile) Trinity was introduced, revolutionizing the delivery of government benefits and promoting digital transformation. The Jan Dhan program ensured banking access for those previously excluded, while Aadhaar provided a unique identification system based on biometric data. The mobile component ensured effective communication for notifications and services, marking a significant step in reducing corruption and improving service delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Modi\u2019s government also created the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) within five months, facilitating online procurement for government agencies. GeM has significantly enhanced transparency and efficiency in public procurement, allowing for better vendor registration and opportunities for small and medium enterprises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Another pivotal move was the demonetization policy enacted in 2016, which rendered \u20b9500 and \u20b91,000 notes invalid. This bold decision targeted black money and corruption while promoting digital financial practices. The initiative successfully reintegrated a substantial amount of money into the formal banking system, expanding the tax base and encouraging the use of digital payment platforms across both urban and rural areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017 was transformative, streamlining the tax system by replacing multiple indirect taxes with a singular structure. More recently, the GST Council has proposed further reforms aimed at simplifying taxation even further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, India\u2019s largest cleanliness initiative, encouraging citizens to uphold the vision of a clean nation. By actively participating in this movement, he emphasized the importance of teamwork in achieving cleanliness, urging citizens to contribute to this national effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The establishment of Niti Aayog to replace the Planning Commission was another significant step. This policy-making body reflects the voices of Chief Ministers, economists, and the public, aiming to adapt to India\u2019s evolving needs while drawing motivation from its constitutional framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Under Modi\u2019s guidance, India has also pivoted its foreign policy from the \u201cLook East\u201d to the \u201cAct East\u201d approach, strengthening ties with ASEAN nations through enhanced trade, cultural relationships, and security collaboration, counterbalancing China\u2019s regional influence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative launched in May 2020 aimed to foster self-reliance in the Indian economy, comprising a substantial stimulus package to support various sectors. This initiative is anchored in the concepts of \u201cVocal for Local\u201d and \u201cMake in India,\u201d promoting domestic manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Furthermore, Modi\u2019s Neighbourhood First policy emphasizes building robust relationships with neighboring countries through enhanced cooperation and cultural exchanges, aiming for mutual growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Finally, Modi has taken a strong stance on terrorism, particularly concerning threats from neighboring Pakistan. His administration has undertaken notable military operations aimed at curbing terrorism and he has declared that India will not tolerate nuclear blackmail, ensuring a steadfast message regarding national security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Overall, these policies reflect Modi\u2019s vision for India, covering economic, social, and security dimensions that aim to strengthen the country\u2019s position domestically and globally.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated his 75th birthday on Wednesday, September 17.
