Dr L Murugan, Minister of State for I&B and Parliamentary Affairs recently released an important book by Mr Sameer Kochhar, Chairman, SKOCH Group and Reforms Historian entitled “ModiNomics: A Journey of Inclusive Growth” that marks 25-years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in public office. It is a definitive account of his governance and economic philosophy. From Jan Dhan to Ujjwala to Swachh Bharat to Digital India, it explores how millions were brought into the mainstream of development with speed and scale.
While releasing the book Dr Murugan said, “I am very happy to participate in this programme to launch the book based on our Hon’ble Prime Minister’s journey. This book is about the history of a legend. Continuously for 25-years, he has been serving the public, first as the Chief Minister of Gujarat and now as the Prime Minister of India. I must congratulate SKOCH Group and Mr Sameer Kochhar, for capturing such a remarkable work on the occasion of our Hon’ble PM’s 75th birthday.” He further added, “Writing such a work that captures all of 25-years of Mr Modi being in the government, must have been a herculean task as it touches upon each and every citizen oriented scheme launched in Gujarat and thereafter at the centre under the leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister.”
Mr Sanjay Jaju, Secretary, Ministry of I&B said, “It is indeed befitting that ModiNomics is being released at a time when we are all part of Seva Pakhwada going on in the country. This is a time when all of us in the government and in civil society get our acts together and take forward the agenda and realise the vision that our Hon’ble Prime Minister has laid out, starting from his birth date, 17th Sept to 2nd Oct.”
According to the author of the book, Mr Sameer Kochhar, “Documenting India’s economic reforms and journey of governance transformation since 1991 requires both skill and courage. Prime Minister Modi’s approach to economics is unique because it focuses on inclusive growth and governance. This vision inspired my books, including ‘ModiNomics’ way back in 2014 followed by ‘Defeating Poverty – Jan Dhan and Beyond,’ highlighting initiatives like Jan Dhan Yojana that aim to truly transform lives.”
This book examines both the vision and the outcomes, financial inclusion, welfare delivery, infrastructure and digital empowerment – that have shaped India’s transformation. It asks the vital question has Modi delivered on the promise of inclusive growth and how far has India travelled on this journey?
