Pillar 2: Inclusive growth

The most powerful validation of our development
n
model is in the lives it has touched. Over 530
million Jan Dhan accounts have been opened—
more than the population of Europe. 40 million
homes have been built, 120 million toilets
constructed, and 100 million families now cook
with clean LPG instead of wood fire.
Tap water connections have also reached 140
n
million households under “Har Ghar Jal.” Health
insurance under Ayushman Bharat covers over 350
million people, and 110 million farmers now receive
direct income support through PM-KISAN.

n These numbers come alive through the stories
like that of Meera Manjhi, the 10th crore Ujjwala
beneficiary. She mentions how ₹2.5 lakh was
credited directly to her bank account without any
middleman. She now has tap water through Har
Ghar Jal, free ration every month, and a smokeless
kitchen under Ujjwala.

n This is inclusive growth at a magnitude not seen
during any period in our recent history.

Pillar 3: Manufacturing
and Innovation

In 2015, we launched Make in India to create jobs
n
and revive industrial growth. Today, electronics
manufacturing has increased 6 times to cross ₹12
lakh Cr. Electronics exports have increased 8 times
to cross Rs 3 lakh crore to become among the top
exported goods. Bharat is now the second largest
mobile phone producer.

n We are now deepening the manufacturing value
chain by producing electronic components under
the new Electronic Components Manufacturing
Scheme.
Simultaneously, India’s semiconductor mission is
n
moving from a blueprint to breakthrough. The
country’s first commercial fab is under construction.
Five OSAT units are underway. And over 20
chipsets with indigenous IP have been designed by
students and engineers in India. We have onboarded
270 universities with world-class EDA tools. This
is laying the foundation for a semiconductor talent
pipeline that the world can rely on.
