Union Minister for External Affairs S. Jaishankar has said the successive National Democratic Alliance (NDA) governments led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi have scripted a significant change in governance in the past 10 years by ensuring welfare schemes are people-centric.
The humongous scale of schemes are unimaginable anywhere else in the world, he said addressing the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday.
While he stressed that a changed “vision” under Mr. Modi had proved crucial in the country’s growth trajectory, Mr. Jaishankar also elaborated on how technology had been employed as a catalyst for progress. The high coverage of Aadhaar and bank accounts in India and their linkage to mobile phones enabled direct benefit transfers.
