India witnessed remarkable progress under PM Modi's 12 years of leadership: CII
New Delhi, June 10
India has witnessed remarkable progress across economic, social and infrastructure sectors during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 12 years in office, with reforms and efficient governance strengthening the country's resilience, competitiveness and global standing, Confederation of Indian Industry Director General Chandrajit Banerjee said on Wednesday.
Congratulating PM Modi on completing 12 years of leadership, Banerjee said the country has emerged as one of the world's leading economies and a confident global voice during this period.
"I convey my heartfelt congratulations to PM Modi on the completion of 12 years of transformative leadership," he said.
He further noted that India has made significant strides in inclusive economic development, infrastructure expansion, innovation, entrepreneurship and social development over the past decade.
The government's focus on reforms, efficient governance and inclusive growth has enhanced India's economic resilience and competitiveness while creating new opportunities for businesses and citizens alike, according to him.
He said the benefits of development have reached wider sections of society, contributing to stronger and more inclusive growth.
The CII Director General further stated that Indian industry has benefited from an enabling business environment marked by rising investor confidence, sustained economic growth and a strong emphasis on innovation and self-reliance.
Looking ahead, Banerjee said the industry would continue to partner with the government in achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
"Industry will continue to be a trusted partner to the government in advancing sustainable development, promoting innovation, expanding employment opportunities, and shaping a resilient economy," he said.
On Wednesday, PM Modi became India's longest-serving Prime Minister, marking 4,399 days, breaching former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's record in office.
Moreover, several Union ministers hailed the milestone as a reflection of public trust in his leadership and highlighted the government's reform, welfare and development initiatives over the past 12 years.

While I appreciate the economic growth, the CII report glosses over unemployment issues. My brother is an engineer and still struggling to find a job matching his qualifications. Hope the next phase focuses more on job creation, not just GDP numbers.
As someone working in the tech sector in Bangalore, I can confirm the innovation ecosystem has exploded. Startups are thriving, and global confidence in India is at an all-time high. The CII is right – we're no longer a developing nation, but a confident global player.
12 years of stable governance is unprecedented in our political history. The GST, IBC, and digital payments revolution are legacy reforms. But let's not forget the hard work of babus and citizens who implemented these changes. Sabka saath, sabka vikas!
Interesting to see the CII praise, but I worry about the environmental cost of rapid infrastructure growth. The air in Delhi is still terrible. Viksit Bharat by 2047 must be a clean, green vision too. Hope sustainability gets more attention.
My mother got her first gas connection under Ujjwala scheme – it changed her life. No more smoke-filled kitchen. These small welfare schemes matter as much as big GDP numbers. The CII should also acknowledge women's empowerment through such initiatives! 👍🏽
