In our race towards self-reliance, Atmanirbharta in manufacturing, the Modi government has initiated several programmes through the “Make in India” initiative. BharatNet is the world's largest rural broadband connectivity project. To make the domestic manufacturing globally competitive it has been linked to the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. These PLI Schemes have created lakhs of jobs across the nation, which in turn have created a more productive, happier workforce contributing to the nation’s progress economically (literally) and socially (tangentially).

In these nine years, there have been several markers that define our prowess both qualitatively and quantitatively; be it the low inflation rate, or the impetus to macroeconomy, our foreign exchange reserves, and parallel fillip to the entrepreneurial and innovative thinking, all have contributed to India’s growth story; take the example of MSMEs, the Modi government has created a systemic overhaul, the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme during the Covid pandemic protected more than one crore MSMEs, reforms that have contributed to ease of doing business have further encouraged development. India is one of the fastest-growing mobile phone manufacturers in the world - mobile phone production has risen from about 60 million in 2014-15 to approximately 310 million in 2021- 22 - in addition to being the largest producer sugar, turmeric, banana, millets, milk, pulses, shrimp, rice in the world.

On a macro level too, Indian stock markets outperformed peers in FY 2022-23 and India remains an attractive destination for Foreign Portfolio Investment. It is due to the leadership of PM Modi’s government that India is being called a bright spot in the global economy. “The Indian economy continues to show strong resilience to external shocks," said Auguste Tano Kouame, World Bank's Country Director in India. “Notwithstanding external pressures, India’s service exports have continued to increase, and the current-account deficit is narrowing.”

It is with good reason, that PM Modi initiated a Foreign Trade Policy that boosts Indian exports, as well as will take India’s goods and services exports to USD 2 trillion by 2030.

India’s Gross National Income at current prices more than , doubled. FDI Equity inflow in Manufacturing Sectors has increased by 76% in FY 2021-22 compared to the previous year. The percentage of poor people in India showing a steep decline, or record-breaking tax collections for both direct and indirect taxes, signalling growth beyond recovery, the march of our economy has been extremely robust in the last nine years. UNCTAD Invest India - the National Investment Promotion Agency of India- was declared winner of the 2020 United Nations Investment Promotion Award which is symbolic of the vast strides we have made as a preferred investment destination.

While we do not require international validation to stand tall in our unmistakable economic leadership globally, the fact that today, validation is forthcoming regardless, bears testimony that under the visionary leadership of PM Modi, be it Ease of Living, or Ease of Doing Business, or the collective pride in our numbers (the many firsts), the organic creation of an “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” is a fantastic metamorphosis of a globally unrivalled India.
