Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who recently completed one year in office, has in an exclusive interview with ANI said that his government's objective is to transform the quality of life, infrastructure and services for the people of India.
"The achievements and successes of my Government are numerous. However, I know that the success of a Government's journey lies in reaching the last man. Therefore, our efforts were directed towards the poor and marginalized. We have also paid special attention to remote corners of the country. Our objective is to transform quality of life, infrastructure and services," he said.
Listing the examples of some of the projects taken to help the marginalised, Prime Minister Modi said that his government aims to bring a smile to the face of the common man.
"We have worked simultaneously on all fronts which bring a smile on the face of the common man. I can give you some examples. From controlling food prices to enhancing farm productivity; improving Railways to strengthening Roads; generating electricity to its 24x7 availability; building school toilets to setting up IITs, IIMs and AIIMS; building houses for the homeless to upgrading our heritage cities; cleaning surroundings to bridging the digital divide; making world class products to skilling and employment generation; strengthening the banking system to funding the unfunded; ensuring labour welfare to providing social security to common man; rejuvenating rivers to irrigating fields; from enhancing co-operation with States to deepening foreign relations; we have worked at an energetic pace and with innovative spirit," he said.
The NDA Government, which had had taken charge at the Centre on May 26 last year, completed one year in office on Tuesday. (ANI)
