My dear fellow citizens!
Service, in our Indian ethos is the ultimate duty – Seva
Parmo Dharma. One year ago, you had entrusted me with the
responsibility and honour of serving you as your . I have devoted every moment
of every day, and every element of my body and spirit, in fulfilling the same
with fullest sincerity and honesty.
We assumed office at a time when confidence in the India story was waning. Un-abated corruption and indecisiveness had paralyzed the government. People had been left helpless against ever climbing inflation and economic insecurity. Urgent and decisive action was needed.

We systematically went about addressing these challenges. Runaway
prices were immediately brought under control. The languishing economy
was rejuvenated, building on stable, policy-driven proactive governance.
Discretionary allotment of our precious natural resources to a chosen few was
replaced with transparent auctions. Firm steps were taken
against Black Money, from setting up a SIT and passing a
stringent black money law, to generating international
consensus against the same. Uncompromising adherence to the principle of
purity, in action as well as intent, ensured a corruption-free
government. Significant changes have been brought about in work culture,
nurturing a combination of empathy as well as professionalism,
systems as well breaking of silos. State governments have
been made equal partners in the quest for national development, building
the spirit of Team India. Most importantly, we have been able
to restore Trust in the government.
Guided by the principle of Antyodaya, our
Government is dedicated to the poor, marginalized and those left
behind. We are working towards empowering them to become our soldiers
in the war against poverty. Numerous measures and schemes have been initiated
– from making school toilets to setting up IITs,
IIMs and AIIMS; from providing a vaccination
cover to our children to initiating a people-driven Swachh Bharat
mission; from ensuring a minimum pension to
our labourers to providing social security to
the common man; from enhancing support to our
farmers hit by natural calamities to defending their interests
at WTO; from empowering one and all with self
attestation to delivering subsidies directly to
people’s banks; from universalizing the banking system to funding the unfunded small
businesses; from irrigating fields to rejuvenating Ma Ganga;
from moving towards 24x7 power to connecting the nation
through road and rail; from building homes for the homeless
to setting up smart cities, and from connecting the North-East
to prioritizing development of Eastern India.
Friends, this is just the beginning. Our objective is to transform quality
of life, infrastructure and services. Together we shall build the India of your
dreams and that of our freedom fighters. In this, I seek your blessings and
continued support.
Always
in your Service,
Jai Hind!
Jai Hind!
