Over the last 12 years of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s tenure, India has witnessed the emergence of several science initiatives that has strengthened the science, technology, and innovation ecosystem and has helped India transition towards being a global technology creator.   From economic growth and digital transformation to infrastructure expansion, social empowerment and a stronger global presence, this journey has been shaped by a sustained focus on development and citizen welfare.   A defining feature of this period has been India's emergence as a leading growth engine of the world economy. Reforms, financial inclusion, digital public infrastructure, manufacturing growth and support for enterprise have helped create new opportunities and strengthen India's position on the global stage.   The impact of this journey can be seen across every sphere of national life, from Garib Kalyan, Annadata prosperity, and Nari Shakti to youth empowerment, healthcare, infrastructure, defence modernisation, technological innovation, cultural resurgence, middle-class welfare, Rashtra Pratham, and the development of the North East through the Ashtalakshmi vision.   India's development story has also been guided by a commitment to sustainable growth through renewable energy, Mission LiFE, clean mobility, biofuels and conservation efforts, demonstrating that growth and environmental responsibility can advance together.   As India moves towards Viksit Bharat 2047, let us highlight the important scientific milestones, technological advancements, and share India's journey of transformation, empowerment, and nation-building. #LongestServingElectedPMModi Dr (Mrs.) Parvinder Maini
