Under Modi’ has emerged as a powerful force driving the country towards unprecedented growth, development, and global recognition which serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication, unrelenting passion, and exceptional leadership qualities. The humble beginnings from the tea stalls of Gujrat to becoming the Prime Minister of the largest democracies of the world is indeed a shining example of the democratic ethos of the republic of India.

This is indeed a historic feat as it marks him as the first non- Congress leader after Jawaharlal Nehru to be able to achieve three straight consecutive terms in a row.
Modi’s role in transforming Kashmir from a wounded paradise to an open heaven is being witnessed by the world and embraced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir with open arms. Before his rise to power, Kashmir was known as a cauldron of chaos, an epicenter of terror, and a valley rusted with violence and uncertainty. The decades of unrest and terrorism had plagued the region, casting a dark shadow over its future. With the absence of sustainable peace and simmering tensions between India and Pakistan, the Kashmiri people were always caught in the crossfire.
The bigger picture was exacerbated by the lack of able and effective governance, economic stagnation and the social insecurity. The valley was known as a hotbed of separatist sentiment with many Kashmiris feeling disenfranchised and disillusioned with the Indian government. It was further fueled by the unruly designs of the establishment in Islamabad for extending their support for terror groups operating in the region.
In this vicious cycle of violence and uncertainty, the worst sufferers were only the common Kashmiri people.
The backdrop of this unending chaos saw Modi government come to power, promising to bring peace, stability and prosperity to the region which was seen as a silver lining in the dark clouds.The role of Narendra Modi as a policy maker for the valley has been instrumental in driving a sustainable peace in the region.
Firstly, the zero-tolerance policy against terrorism has driven a long-lasting change in the law and order in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It has indeed been a game-changer marking a significant shift in India’s approach to tackle the cancer of terrorism in the region. The policy that perpetrators will be dealt with swiftly and severely has led to a significant decline in the terror sympathizers bringing down the curve of terrorism in the valley. Last but not the least, the empowerment of the Indian army to take decisive action against terrorism has resulted in the elimination of most of the high-profile terrorist leaders.
Secondly, an unprecedented turnaround in the valley’s economy has been phenomenal with the region witnessing growth, development and center stage of entrepreneurship and innovation. The development of thousandskilometers of new roads, new national highways and expressways have eased the connectivity of Kashmir to the rest of the country like never before. The establishment of more than 70 startups in the agriculture sector alone with providance of skilled training and support will foster and drive a positive economic growth.
Thirdly, the tourism sector of the valley is blooming like never before, with record breaking arrival of the tourists to the heaven and crown of India. The heavy investment of Modi government in tourism has fostered new opportunities for local businesses and created new employment for the youth.
Fourthly, the launch of new schemes like JKCIP project worth 1800 crores for the improvement of agriculture and allied sectors has led to increased productivity, better access to markets and a higher income for farmers. The skill development initiatives under the Modi government has seen establishment of more than 100 khelo India centers providing training to thousands of youngsters in various sports and games.
