PM Modi’s commitment to the welfare of farmers is evident in the substantial increase in the agriculture budget, reaching Rs. 1.27 lakh crore in 2024-25, a remarkable 300% increase since 2014-15. The PM-KISAN scheme has benefitted over 11 crore farmers with Rs. 2.6 lakh crore given as assistance. The government is also actively supporting farmers in becoming entrepreneurs as 7,000 vibrant agri and allied startups have emerged.
Additionally, the emphasis on ethanol blending, uninterrupted credit access through Kisan Credit Cards, and the successful PM Fasal Bima Yojana, with Rs. 1.5 lakh crore given in claims have created a safety net for the farmers. The record-breaking production of millets and the integration of technology like e-NAM demonstrates the commitment to agricultural growth.
In a bid to provide a roof over each head, the Modi government guarantees’ Housing for All’ through the PM Awas Yojana for the millions living in urban and rural areas. Today, over four crore houses have been sanctioned under the scheme. 100% electrification of villages is also part of this promise. Water today is reaching over 14 crore rural households under the Jal Jeevan Mission, which guarantees safe and potable tap water connections to all rural households in India.
Ensuring ‘Health for All’ is the PM Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), the world’s largest health insurance plan funded by a government, covering nearly 55 crore individuals belonging to 12 crore vulnerable families. The scheme acts as a safety net and ensures that medical emergencies don’t spiral into a cycle of debt for the poor and vulnerable.
