Cabinet Resolution Marks PM Modi's 25 Years as Head of Government

The Union Cabinet has passed a resolution congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing 25 years of unbroken leadership as head of government, first in Gujarat and then at the Centre. The resolution is built around the principle of Nation First and Citizen First, and sets out ten salient features that link his years in the state with his years in national office. It recalls three decisive mandates in Gujarat and support in three successive Lok Sabha elections.

Ideas that travelled from Gujarat to India

SWAGAT, the grievance-hearing system through which he heard citizens himself, won the United Nations Public Service Award in 2010 and later inspired PRAGATI, the platform that reviews stalled projects across governments. Jyotigram, which gave farms their own electricity feeders, became a national approach.

Welfare at scale

The resolution links his early experience of hardship with programmes that deliver homes, water, banking and health care. It cites nearly 60 crore Jan Dhan accounts, more than 4 crore houses and 25 crore people moving out of poverty. About 3.5 crore women have become Lakhpati Didis, the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam provided for reservation for women, PM-KISAN transfers crossed ₹4 lakh crore, and PM-JANMAN carried support to particularly vulnerable tribal groups.

Reform, capital spending and technology

The goods and services tax, the replacement of colonial-era laws and welfare delivery reform are named as reforms pursued despite political risk. On the technology side the resolution lists Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and mobile connectivity, the UPI payments system, India own COVID vaccines, the Chandrayaan-3 landing near the south pole of the Moon, private participation in space, and work in artificial intelligence, quantum technology and biotechnology.

Security and the world stage

The security section of the resolution places the 2016 surgical strikes, the 2019 Balakot air strikes and Operation Sindoor in 2025 alongside the removal of Article 370, One Rank One Pension and the creation of the post of Chief of Defence Staff. In foreign policy it points to consensus at the G20 and BRICS, the entry of the African Union into the G20, advocacy for the Global South, Vaccine Maitri and honours received from 36 countries.

Heritage, climate and the goal of 2047

The closing feature ties development to cultural confidence and environmental responsibility, from a dedicated climate department in Gujarat to renewable energy expansion, and from yoga and millets to the Kashi Vishwanath Dham and the consecration of Ram Lalla. The resolution ends with a renewed commitment to a prosperous, self-reliant and developed India by 2047.
