"Privilege to work under his guidance": Union Minister Annapurna Devi on PM Modi's 12 years in office
Dhanbad, June 13
Union Minister Annapurna Devi on Saturday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for completing 12 years in office as the nation's "Pradhan Sevak."
Congratulating the Prime Minister, the Union Minister highlighted PM Modi's contributions towards the welfare of women, youth, farmers, and the common people. She told reporters that the Prime Minister has advanced the nation by balancing development with the preservation of the country's heritage.
"As he stands as the world's most popular leader, we, as workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party, consider it a privilege to work under his guidance. The people of the country place their trust and faith in him. The nation is progressing steadily under his leadership, and everyone is resolutely committed to realising his vision of transforming India into a 'Vishwa Guru' by 2047," she said.
Prime Minister Modi completed 4,399 days in office on June 10, surpassing the record held by India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and marking over 12 years of continuous leadership at the national level.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that one of the defining features of the last 12 years has been the confidence with which India's youth have pursued their aspirations.
In a post on X, PM Modi said, "The NDA Government is strongly working towards youth-led development. One of the defining features of the last 12 years has been the confidence with which India's youth have pursued their aspirations"
"Through initiatives such as Startup India, Digital India, Skill India and Atal Innovation Mission, an ecosystem has emerged that encourages innovation, entrepreneurship and enterprise. Today, India is among the world's leading Startup destinations, and many of these success stories are being scripted by our Yuva Shakti and that too from smaller towns and villages."
"India's youth are making their mark across various sectors, from science and technology to manufacturing, space, semiconductors and drones. It is heartening to see young Indians contributing to areas that will shape the future of our nation and the world."
PM Modi also highlighted the contribution of the youth in the field of sports.

As a young professional, I've personally benefited from Startup India and Skill India initiatives. The startup ecosystem is booming like never before. But I wish more attention was paid to education quality and healthcare access in rural areas. Progress is there, but we need inclusive growth.
It's impressive how India has modernized under Modi - the space missions, digital payments, and global recognition. But as someone who works with rural communities, I worry about the growing inequality. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are struggling. We need a more balanced approach.
"Vishwa Guru" by 2047 - sounds exciting! But first let's fix basic issues like education, healthcare, and pollution in our cities. The youth confidence is real though - I see it in my younger colleagues who are bold and ambitious. Modi has definitely changed the narrative about India abroad. 👏
Respect for completing 12 years, but let's not ignore the democratic concerns - rising intolerance, media pressure, and centralization of power. Development is good, but at what cost? The world's largest democracy should be a model of open debate, not just economic growth. We need both.
The article captures the optimism well. As a woman from a small town, I see more opportunities now than before - self-help groups, digital access, and better roads. But the digital divide remains real. Not everyone has a smartphone or knows how to use government portals. Hope the next phase focuses on bridging that gap. 😊
