To commemorate the NDA government’s 11 years in power, PM Modi took to social media on Monday to outline the initiatives undertaken across key sectors. He noted that this decade has been marked by substantial progress, driven by the tenets of Seva, Sushasan, and Garib Kalyan.
PM Modi emphasized the government’s dedication to good governance and transformation, stating, “With the blessings and collective participation of 140 crore Indians, India has seen rapid advancements across various sectors. Guided by ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas,’ the NDA Government has made groundbreaking changes efficiently and sensitively.”
He highlighted the government’s commitment to people-centric, inclusive growth, noting that India is not only the fastest-growing major economy but also a pivotal global player on issues such as climate action and digital innovation.
“We take pride in our collective achievements, but we also look forward with hope, confidence, and a renewed determination to build a Viksit Bharat!” the Prime Minister expressed.
PM Modi also shared links to India’s Vikas Yatra through engaging videos, infographics, and articles available on the NaMo App, encouraging everyone to explore these resources. He remarked on the positive changes of the last 11 years that have enhanced the ‘Ease of Living,’ and invited citizens to participate by accessing the interactive features of the NaMo App.
The government has published an e-book titled “Viksit Bharat ka Amrit Kaal: Seva, Sushasan, Garib Kalyan ke 11 Saal,” summarizing achievements across various sectors achieved under PM Modi’s leadership.
“Since taking office in 2014, PM Modi has prioritized putting ‘India First’ in all policy formulations and actions. This commitment is clear in the government’s approach to both internal and external security, economic management, and empowerment initiatives for marginalized communities,” the introduction of the book states.
Structured into 14 chapters, the e-book addresses a wide array of topics, including schemes for the underprivileged, farmer welfare, economic growth, healthcare advancements, women and youth empowerment, infrastructure development, technological innovation, enhanced living conditions for the middle class, progress in the northeast, national security, foreign policy, and efforts to sustain the country’s cultural heritage.
PM Modi’s approach has firmly embedded development—Vikasvaad—into the political discourse, positioning it as the central theme for policy-making and dialogue.

75-Year-Old Man Marries 35-Year-Old, Dies Before Honeymoon
Uttar Pradesh: A 75-year-old man who remarried in search of companionship died barely hours after his wedding, sparking shock and speculation in his village.
The deceased, identified as Sangruram, a resident of Kuchhmuchh village in Jaunpur district, had been living alone after losing his first wife a year ago. With no children, he supported himself through farming. Despite advice from relatives against remarriage, Sangruram wed 35-year-old Manbhavati, a resident of Jalalpur area, on Monday, September 29.
The marriage was first registered in court, followed by traditional rituals at a local temple. According to Manbhavati, the couple spent most of the wedding night conversing, as Sangruram assured her that she would take responsibility for the household while he would “take care of the children.”
However, by the next morning, his health deteriorated suddenly. He was rushed to hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
The unexpected death has triggered varied reactions in the village. While some residents believe it to be a natural occurrence given his age, others have expressed suspicion about the circumstances.
Relatives, including nephews residing in Delhi, have halted funeral rites until their arrival. They have also raised questions about whether a police inquiry or post-mortem examination will be conducted before the cremation.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding further investigation.
