The Modi government refers to the cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who became the 14th Prime Minister of India in May 2014. The government is headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a coalition of political parties.
Under Modi’s leadership, the government has focused on transformative initiatives aimed at economic growth, infrastructure development, and national security. Some of the landmark policies include the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), demonetisation of high-value currency notes in 2016, and the controversial revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, which ended the region’s special status. The Modi government has also emphasized initiatives such as ‘Make in India,’ ‘Digital India,’ ‘Skill India,’ and the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ (Clean India Mission).
While it has received praise for boosting economic growth and improving infrastructure, it has also faced significant criticism. Its handling of the anti-CAA protests, the 2020 farmers’ protests, and issues surrounding the delivery of data—such as the absence of a national census and the lack of transparency regarding COVID-19 death tolls—has sparked public debate. The government has also been criticized for its response to social issues, such as the Hathras rape case and the conflict in Manipur.
Despite these challenges, the Modi government, now in its third term, continues to maintain a dominant political presence, securing electoral victories at both state and national levels.
Mass production of poor quality candidates need to be stopped
Congress ne 70 saal me 8% gdp banai thi jise bjp ne Pichhle 5 saal me tabhah kar dia he usspe koi Baat nahi ho rahi he naye-2 jumle leke public ko ullu banane Aa jate ho
Love Yogendra Yadav’s sliming of “private universities” when even the most vaunted public university in the country cannot rank within the top 320 universities in the world on the Times Higher Education and QS ratings! The fact is that this decline has been happening for a long time. Smug in a state of self-deception over how great Indian educational institutions are, especially the much bragged about “three letter colleges” in the country, India’s authorities conveniently forgot that they needed to innovate, invest, and improve. The very first THE supplement had ranked the IITs among the top 10 institutions in the world more than two and a half decades ago, and India’s policymakers likely forgot that these rankings were fiercely competitive and that they changed from year to year. In the meantime, India tried bragging about how good school education in the country was, and after coming in at the bottom of the list in it’s only attempt at participating in the PISA process, got out of that annual evaluation completely. Other nations worked in the meantime to improve their educational methods, stressing on advanced evaluation methodology, while India stuck to an antiquated system of examinations that has not changed from the mid 19th century. When students’ talents and weaknesses are not properly understood, it is impossible to help them reinforce their academic strengths and come up to a needed standard where they might need help.
India still has the potential to make a positive mark. The country has a large number of smart young people. If only the young weren’t let down as badly as they are by every entity that wields authority, the country would do well. All that it would take for India to have a positive reputation again, would be for work to be done in processes that the world has found effective in improving educational performance. That, perhaps, is going to be the most difficult thing to get the relevant authorities to do.
Good analysis by Mehul Kamdar. I would like to stres upon the point made “Innovate, Invest and improve.” This should be the motto of the regulatory bodies and review the existing standards to improvise on an ongoing basis to ensure that all stakeholders; Government and Private participate and contribute positively.
OK. Where was all this outrage when Congress was in power? India’s education system is a JOKE in terms of Research and output. We already know this.
Thank you for your Daily Rant, Captain Obvious (Yogendra Yadav).
You accept the truth of his writings and as you do not have a counter, you are trying to shoot the messenger. Did you follow his writings when UPA was in power?
Well said
India can’t be a middle income country with services alone. Manufacturing needs to grow and for that labor laws needs to be amended. The solution is not knee jerk socialism as Yadav implies but more market oriented capitalism.
“Manufacturing needs to grow and for that labor laws needs to be amended. ”
Any proof for this assertion. In last thirty years, wage growth in manufacturing has been stagnant while productivity has increased more than 700%.
Pretty silly to think that growth = wage growth, don’t you think? Getting the first step on the ladder is more important than a rocketing pay check. As for proof, there is a billion and one around, start with post-war Japan.
Did Japanese workers ever become poorer when their country’s GDP was increasing? It is pretty silly to equate development = income growth for the top 1 percent don’t you think?
A clever and tactfully managed anti propaganda against New India from some Pakistani sympathizer. As per the author main objective of this reporting is against abrogation of article 370 and by hook and crook to creat sympathy for those plundered India for 70 years!! Good effort no doubt but everyone not so fool as the author believe.
You accept the truth of his writings and as you do not have a counter, you are trying to shoot the messenger. What is the basis for your assertion that this is about article 370?
Except news portals, channels are more keen to give headlines to New Father of the Nation and Deputy Father of Nation. How long we are going allow harping 370. If Congress can be blamed for keep it for 70 years, are we going to allow BJP to use abrogation for another 70 years until they achieve their agenda of Akhand Bharat
And these people with the minimum of capacity for critical thinking will be the ones who will support the BJP. A lose-lose or win-win situation.
In one Indian state after another, the window on the demographic dividend is slowly closing. Starting with the most developed, with the lowest birth rates. Going on to UP and Bihar, where birth rates are still above replacement levels, but the quality of education / skills is the least satisfactory.
