Video lists achievements of Narendra Modi government’s one-month rule

NEW DELHI: The release of Indian fishermen by Sri Lanka and Pakistan, disbanding of groups of ministers set up by the UPA, permission to raise the height of Sardar Sarovar, inaugural of aircraft carrier Vikramadityas and a bounce in the stock market are flagged as positives in the one-month old Modi government, according to an official video.

The five and a half minute video released on YouTube and the official websites says that the new government has initiated several programmes that will have long lasting effect in fostering the nation's welfare.

The decision to set up a committee to track black money is underlined as a step in the right direction while the disbanding of GOMs is projected as intended to quicken governance.

A 10-point guideline to ministers to get rid of economic hurdles and emphasis on areas like education and energy are seen as evidence of a business like approach as are directives to ministers to reach office on time in the mornings.

A possible weak monsoon is seen as a big challenge but the government has said it is doing all it can to ensure that the common man does not bear the brunt of the impact in terms of prices.

While sensex is seeming healthier, tourist footfalls are increasing. On the foreign policy front, the decision to visit Bhutan is hailed as a thoughtful measure and seen a wiser choice than a high profile destination.
