The year 2014 was quite significant one for
Indian politics. It saw the return of single party majority at the centre after
three decades and rise of a politician without a political surname.
Yes.
On 26th may 2014 Narendra Damodardas Modi took oath as 15th prime minister of India.
To my mind that marked the beginning of INDIA’s MODI-fication.
Let me emphasis that when I say MODI-fication, it’s not
same as modification.
Modification is bringing about a change in
something. Modification is too big a word to use as of now. India has not
changed much in the past one year. So, let me tell you what I mean what
MODI-fication is.
The power to simplify solutions to age old
problems and solving those using minimum resources is gifted to only a few on
this planet.
Well Mr. Modi is definitely one of them!
On 2nd October 2014 the PM launched "Swachh Bharat Mission".

From that point onward I consciously try
to drop garbage in the dustbin. I am sure there would be many like me who will
think at least twice before littering around.
Also, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana was successfully launched to ensure financial inclusion of each and every Indian citizen. Moreover, his "Make in India" campaign is strategically focused to boost Indian manufacturing sector growth. In the near future we would not have to buy "made in china" products with so much intensity.
There are many other policies on similar lines like Digital India program, Shrameva Jayate etc.

Further, Prime Minister, Modi also began
working to make Indian economy more business-friendly by reforming the red tape that have hindered the progress of Indian business in the past.
In May 2015, FDI in India reported 61% increase since the previous year owing to the liberalization of FDI policies.
I believe that through these innovative and
simple ideas governance has become open, easier and transparent.
Coming to the foreign trips of NaMo often
dubbed as vacations.
Let me tell you these are a part of foreign policy objectives
to increase India’s soft power and improve bilateral ties.
PM's foreign policy initiatives are helping India to realize its true potential and role on the world's stage.

The
2015 Republic Day saw President Barack Obama visit as a Chief guest of India, a
first in the India-USA relation history.
The frequent visits of several other powerful leaders from the developed and developing nations have achieved breakthrough improvements as far as cooperation between India and these nations is concerned.

Other significant foreign initiatives include clearing
the way for enclaves exchange agreement with Bangladesh, a successful strategy to contain the threat of infiltration.
Above all Modi influenced the decision to
declare 21st June as the ‘International Day of Yoga at the UN.’
All these initiatives are
positively changing the global outlook towards India.
But there are always two sides of
the same coin.
Like every other politician in power, he is also bound to face some challenges. Some of the major challenges are:
Like every other politician in power, he is also bound to face some challenges. Some of the major challenges are:
-Issue of bringin back the Black money stashed in foreign accounts.
-Occurrence of hate speeches by his own ministers
-Terrorism is another threat which the Modi government is already perceiving.
-And finally, the biggest of all, issue of financial turnaround.
These apart it has been the year of Modi.
Finally, I would like to conclude this
article with a slightly modified quote by Robert Frost (:P)
"Woods are lovely dark and deep but MODI has
promises to keep and modify India before he sleeps and modify India before he
sleeps."
