Modi’s political record spans from his oath as Gujarat chief minister on 7 October 2001 to his current role as the longest‑serving elected head of the Indian government. The piece details a range of policies that migrated from state labs to the centre: ‘Swagat’ to ‘Pragati’, ‘e‑Gram’ to Digital India, the ‘Chief Minister Amrut’ health scheme to Ayushman Bharat‑PMJAY‑Amrut, and the ‘Jyotigram’ power supply model to the national rural electrification agenda. Water‑management committees and the ‘Nirmal Gujarat’ cleanliness drive pre‑dated and fed into the Swachh Bharat Mission, while girl‑education drives like ‘Kanya Kelvani’ foreshadowed the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.
