Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 10 : As Prime Minister Narendra Modi completes 11 years in office, Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak said on Tuesday that India has seen transformative growth in sectors like infrastructure, space, and medical sciences, and credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for lifting 25 crore people out of poverty while advancing the vision of 'Integral Humanism' for a developed nation.
Speaking to ANI, Pathak said, "Over the past decade, India has witnessed a transformative shift across various sectors -- from infrastructure development to advancements in space and medical sciences. Nearly 25 crore people have been lifted out of poverty.
Reiterating his faith in the Prime Minister's leadership, the Deputy CM said, "PM Modi has fulfilled the vision of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay, who laid the foundation for 'Integral Humanism' as a guiding principle for a Viksit Bharat. Under the PM's leadership, the country is steadily progressing toward unprecedented growth and development."
Earlier today, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that India is the only economy in the world that has doubled in one decade.
"Before 2014, we were a fragile and unstable economy--India ranked 11th in the World. In the last 11 years, it has climbed and is now the fourth-largest economy in the world. When India was celebrating its 75th Independence Day, under the leadership of PM Modi, we surpassed Britain, the country which had ruled over India for almost 200 years... India is the only economy that has doubled in one decade," said UP CM Yogi Adityanath as PM Modi completed 11 years in office.
CM Yogi further said that governance is now based on everyone's satisfaction and appeasing no one; the country has witnessed this in 11 years.
PM Modi first took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014, and is currently serving his third consecutive term.
Marking the occasion, the Union government also released a comprehensive e-book detailing achievements across various sectors over the past 11 years. The year 2025 marks 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
The book said that these 11 years have been dedicated to bringing about development that is inclusive, progressive, and sustainable. "The government under Prime Minister Modi has been steadfast in its commitment to creating equity and opportunity for all citizens," it added. "PM Modi has brought the politics of development - Vikasvaad - into the mainstream, making it the focal point around which political discourse and policy action now revolve," it reads.
The book said that since assuming office in 2014, PM Modi has remained firm in his resolve to keep 'India First' in every policy formulation and action. It added that the resolve is evident in the government's handling of both external and internal security, economic management, empowerment schemes for marginalised groups, efforts at cultural conservation and so on.
Highlighting the government's steps in handling COVID-19, the book said, "Prime Minister Modi's government has always believed in setting challenging targets and achieving them before the set deadline. This can be seen across sectors, whether it is in vaccinating the entire eligible population in record time against Covid-19, recording the nation's highest ever exports in history, in the digital revolution which is taking place across India, in achieving monumental targets for rural electrification, in building world-class infrastructure or in providing drinking water facilities across households.
"It emphasised that there has been a paradigm shift in public service delivery and the implementation of government schemes using the JAM Trinity - Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, and Mobile - in the last 11 years."In the last 11 years, there has been a paradigm shift in public service delivery and the implementation of government schemes using the JAM Trinity - Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, and Mobile.

Emphasising the government's action for conservation of the environment, it said, "Under Prime Minister Modi, India has championed environmental protection globally, emerging as a leader of the movement.
