A Decade of Governance

Prime Minister Modi first took oath as Prime Minister on May 26, 2014, after the Bharatiya Janata Party secured a majority in the Lok Sabha elections. He was re-elected in 2019 and returned to office for a third consecutive term in 2024. The Prime Minister has now become the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of India, surpassing the tenure of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Modi is also the first Prime Minister born after Independence to hold the office.

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government completed 12 years at the Centre this year. During this period, the government launched several flagship schemes and initiatives across sectors, including infrastructure, digital services, financial inclusion, healthcare, housing and welfare delivery.
