Modi Govt @ 8 | Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Reforms Have Positively Impacted Every Indian

Posted on the 28 May 2022 by Geetikamalik

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been India’s great reformist in his term of office for the past eight years. The reforms imposed under his leadership were broad, and had a positive impact on the country’s great population.

In the field of digital and financial inclusion, Indian piles, which consist of world -class utility systems such as Aadhaar, UPI, Digilocker, and others, have facilitated the inclusion of the economy of millions of citizens who were previously excluded. This provides rails for world -class innovation on a pile. Indian piles have opened the way for the minimum income support scheme that is driven digitally globally-transfer-transfer (DBT), where the beneficiaries receive the money directly to the bank account connected to the mobile in a count of seconds after disbursement. As many as 23 Lakh-Crore Hospital has been disbursed through DBT since 2014.

Physical infrastructure has also received extraordinary encouragement with investment on toll roads, highways, ports and trains. The GST system reduces India’s abnormal supply chain costs by creating an integrated platform, and eliminating 17 separate taxes. The substantial collection of RS 1.68 Lakh-Crore in April shows the benefits of GST. Demonetication places black money suppliers in its place, which leads to a large increase in tax collection.

This reform has met in the most significant steps ever taken in Indian history by the Prime Minister in the social sector. Almost every Indian currently has a roof above their heads, water in taps, functioning toilets, access to electricity, food on tables, gas stoves, mobile connections, bank accounts with money, roads to villages, internet connections, education for their children, and health insurance. There is no prime minister in Indian history as many as possible for the poor as Narendra Modi did in the last eight years.

After every Indian person has access to the basic needs of life, the view shifts from survival to the mindset of growth. More than 50 million jobs that can be identified have been created in the formal and informal sectors over the past eight years; Proven for anyone who uses reliable databases such as EPFO ​​and ESI instead of allegations. It makes sense that a significant increase in the nominal GDP from RS 124.7 Lakh-Crore in FY15 to RS 236 Lakh-Crore in FY22 cannot occur without an increase in complement in the employment generation.

Of course, India has experienced a decrease in GDP growth that is inevitable after specific episodes such as demonization and sudden locking during Pandemic Covid-19 to capture disease and save lives. The latter is also regretted causing the migrant crisis, which in the back can be avoided, but is openly dramatized by the government led by opposition in Maharashtra and Delhi. During the second wave Covid-19, lack of oxygen and vaccine is also a low point. However, overall, Modi has led with an Indian-first attitude, acting to save and empower citizens. Western power praised India for the wise covid-19 actions and a strong vaccine program, and held it as an example of how democracy could work.

Indian external images have begun to shine. West Asia has become an Indian friend, and stops unconditional support for Pakistan. The African continent has also become an Indian friend. Japan has deepened relations with India. Quad has indeed increased India’s position. The United States views India as a partner in Indo-Pacific to fight Russia-China’s threats which are a sign of a connecting as a ‘axis of crime in the modern world’, in the words of former US President Ronald Reagan.

Protecting the lives of citizens abroad is one of Modi’s top priorities during the crisis. This is proven in various scenarios, including Ukraine, West Asia, and from the beginning of the global pandemic. India has become an extraordinary neighbor, especially in the crisis as seen in the case of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This is one of the few countries that provides unconditional humanitarian assistance to the last.

After 75 years of independence, India has placed Pakistan. At present, the establishment of foreign affairs does not mention Pakistan except in an interesting response when making incorrect statements about India on the international stage. India stands higher today as a global force that arises because of the initiatives and attitudes taken by the government led by Modi.

The Indian military is also strengthened. Increasing the procurement of sophisticated equipment from the US, increasing capacity in the Air Force with the addition of Rafale, and a focus that is not shy about the welfare of the army by providing appropriate equipment and ammunition to fight threats in the border proven in an effective manner of India standing in China in Galwan Valley, and other areas. Under the leadership of Modi, India has stated to the world that he will maintain its limits with any cost; Unlike the previous episode in our history.

Focus on Atmanirbhar India, the PLI scheme in the field of manufacturing, and original defense production will make India stronger. While all of these developments stood tall, and have enhanced the country’s views with extraordinary, there is an agenda of four unfinished parts that Modi must do ahead of the 2024 Sabha Lok election. They:

Reform of the Justice System: Simply put, an effective promise of justice as a pillar of fundamental democracy in the constitution remains not available for ordinary citizens. The court is burdened with multi -year and -Decade cases -media reports show this number exceeds 40 million cases. Constitutional matters have piled up in the Supreme Court. People do not expect justice in criminal or civilian matters for one generation. When the nation celebrates 75 years of independence, the lack of availability of justice in a reasonable time frame is gaping.

The failure of justice is disproportionately impacting the poor, and oppressed. At present, many people have miserable in prison, many of them have completed and exceeded the longest period if proven guilty. People have been arrested on charges of terrorism and incitement, jailed for 15-20 years, and were released due to lack of evidence. Vendetta politics is the main factor here by all political parties. Modi must ensure adequate capacity, and reforms use technology to overcome this gap quickly.

Today, India has 18 judges/million populations, after an increase of 14 during independence when the nation needs at least 50. Strangely, even with low capacity, vacancies in the High Court reached 30 percent. It is very embarrassing that India cannot fill this vacancy even with this great human resource. Democracy without an adequate justice system cannot meet the constitutional mandate, which must now be the highest priority.

Inadequate Tax Terrorism and Capacity of Regulations: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by the Democratic Democratic Election Manifesto Democratic Alliance (NDA) promises tax terrorism that handles tax terrorism. However, over the past eight years, more power has been invested in the tax authority to harass the minority of Indian income taxpayers. Disputes have increased from around RS 4.5 Lakh-Crore in 2014 to around Hospital 12 Lakh-Crore. Although there are schemes to reduce disputes, and increase appeal limits, misguided assessments continue to haunt people. Honest taxpayers are taken to be examined without actual proof, repeatedly, and without assistance. The tax code is passed in parliament without inviting debates, giving more unilateral strength to the tax authority.

Tax terrorism has become the number one problem for business in India, and urgent reform is needed. Tax officials must be held accountable for their assessment where the reversal in a higher court as long as the appeal can be marked by their performance. Data shows that more than 75 percent of the appeal case is lost by the tax authority. Special tax benches are needed for fast justice. Increased fear of tax terrorism among businesses is counter-productive with the vision of economic growth.

Courts and regulatory systems suffer from inadequate capacity, and insult services to citizens. Regulators such as NCLT have inadequate capacity, unliled positions that are too delaying the judicial decision, and the permits sought by citizens.

RBI is in a habit where he doesn’t even respond to applicants; If yes, it’s rude, and often to communicate the rejection of the application for no adequate reason. Conversely, people are forced to spend additional budgets on Big 4 consultants who will submit applications on their behalf, and run in the corridor to solve problems. The banker tells their clients openly that once they apply to regulators, who followed up on it is not possible because of the lack of timely response on the regulator. Many regulators do not follow the consultative approach to changing regulations. This is a serious problem that prevents the constitutional rights of citizens to pursue profitable work, and entrepreneurship.

Lack of cohesive urban policy: India urbanization quickly, and maybe 40 percent of urban areas today. The world, on average, is at 55 percent, while China is at 60 percent. In any economy, urban areas are a machine growth, work, and opportunity. Unfortunately, India failed to recognize this. There is a constitutional power for Panchayat Raj and other rural government agencies. Urban area, where most tax collection and work with high growth originated, were not given the same rights. The state governments and the union directed large expenditure budget to rural areas, but not urban areas.

Each city needs a full -time Mayor of five years that can dedicate their time to develop the city on a sustainable manner. In many cities, companies have lost their elected representatives, and lack accountability to citizens they should serve.

In Bengaluru, for example, the mayor changes every year with almost no time to make changes. The company becomes dysfunctional and corrupt, and must be broken down and rearranged with the right governance mechanism. Urban infrastructure has worsened, unable to compensate for population explosions, causing traffic congestion that is unacceptable and reduces productivity. City residents are forced to bear the sad paths and polluted air every day, and the metro system is miserable due to lack of project management. Inadequate Smart City Project.

All urban policies require a reelot with a focused investment that maintains sustainability and environmental protection in essence. Modi has taken care of rural areas and citizens; Urban areas now require the same focus and commitment. India cannot realize her dream of growing into an economy of $ 5 trillion on a trip to $ 10 trillion this decade without cohesive urban policy.

Lack of adequate interaction before imposing policies: Modi must ensure that the new policy to be passed by the government must be placed in a public domain, adequate debate is produced, and experts are invited to show the pros and cons of the proposed policies, after which the political decisions were taken . It is appropriate for every cabinet minister to have 8-10 people in the advisory council to find their expert opinions about policies. This will ensure a knowledgeable policy and is based on, and not designed unilaterally by bureaucrats who may lack exposure and work experience in business and economic matters. In representative democracy, interaction is needed and, indeed, it is necessary because the will of the people must be reflected in policies and laws. The Minister is not the ruler of citizens, but representatives.

In the US, for example, there is a forum for sustainable dialog between political leadership and other stakeholders before imposing policy decisions. This process ensures that the proposed policy responds to the needs of the nation, and is widely accepted by citizens. Indian parliament failed to carry out all the debates about the most important affairs, the union budget. Conversely, it is a rushed, cut, and, almost always a matter of guillotined.

The lack of this productive dialog has led to the most evil law which eliminates the rights of citizens. Parliamentary who have vowed to protect their citizens from authoritarian bureaucratic attacks are helpless because they do not read budget proposals, expenditure documents, and other problems, or bring experts to give advice. There is a need for installation for external dialog before passing the law.

Overall, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has carried out extraordinary work in changing the nation’s contours, ensuring development reaches every corner, and institutionalizes the rails to ensure that India grows faster. To meet the needs of the 21st century and the accelerated growth of Indian growth, obstacles to growth and innovation, justice, responsible taxation, and effective regulations must be destroyed. This reform is needed immediately, both from the perspective of the election cycle, and for India to fulfill its potential as the top 3 economy this decade.

As a strong and focused leader, the expectations of citizens naturally are far higher than Modi; The hope is that he succeeded in creating a strong and prosperous India where the dream of every Indian is able to produce results.
