How does PM Narendra Modi's Report Card reads on his Birthday?

SIBY HERALD

Ayushman Bharat: Accordingly the health insurance scheme launched on September 23, 2018, has already benefited 10 lakh poor patients and could be an electoral game changer, where more than 500 million Indians who could not afford medical treatment for non-communicable illnesses like cancer and heart disease now have access to free healthcare.


The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code: Meanwhile the legislation, enacted in December 2016, is the silver bullet to tackle india’s chronic problem of non-performing assets. Banks have begun to recover debts that had seemingly turned irretrievably bad. “Phone banking” has ground to a halt.


Rural electrification: Reportedly the modi government’s push to provide last-mile connectivity to hard-to-access rural clusters has been fairly successful and several villages cited as connected to the electrical grid still have households without power. Part of the problem is that some villages lie in areas controlled by Naxalites while in others the terrain makes access difficult.


Free LPG cylinders: Moreover under the Ujjwala Yojana scheme, women in villages now have access to cooking gas and this has both health and economic benefits. Over 60 million free LPG connections have been given with nearly 50 per cent going to SC/ST households.


Sanitation: Also the Swachh Bharat Mission has built toilets at an unprecedented pace. Earlier since October 2014, over 92 million toilets have been constructed, covering nearly 500 million households in one of the world’s largest operations of its kind.
