On govt table, ‘Amrutmay Bharat’

The document also stresses on the government’s philosophy of “seamless governance”, “Jan Bhagidari”, “transparency and openness driven accountability”.

The NDA government aims to build an ‘Amrutmay Bharat’ based on the principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ as it completes one year in office on May 26. In a draft document, to be released to mark its first anniversary, the government is likely to promise a “modern, prosperous and vibrant India based on our ethos and values,” and “every step, every day” will be dedicated to realising this vision.

Sources say the draft document is now with the PMO and could see some changes.

Further, under fire for its move to amend the 2013 Land Acquisition Act, and in the backdrop of allegations from the opposition of catering to big corporates, the government will define itself as being for the poor, farmers and villagers.

“A government is one which thinks about the poor, listens to the poor and which exists for the poor. Therefore, the new government is dedicated to the poor, crores of youths, mothers and daughters who are striving for respect and honour. Villagers, farmers, tribals, dalits and the oppressed, this government is for them, for their aspirations and this is our responsibility,” the draft document, reviewed by The Indian Express, states.

In the draft document, the government lays down as part of its ‘future plans’ a “flourishing agriculture”, “quality life in villages and cities based on Housing for all”, “skill India”, “jobs for all driven by a globally competitive economy”, “24X7 power for all”, “brand India built on quality”, “strong, effective and futuristic institutions”, “open, transparent and systems-based government” and a “vibrant, participatory democracy”, besides its flagships like Swachh Bharat, Digital India and Make in India.

The document also stresses on the government’s philosophy of “seamless governance”, “Jan Bhagidari”, “transparency and openness driven accountability”, “outlay to output to outcome” and “policy driven governance, minimizing discretion,” etc.

The 24-page document lays down the NDA government’s initiatives in the past one year across sectors, including those in financial inclusion, social security, gender equality, crackdown on black money, education and skill, health, sanitation, power, infrastructure, employment etc.
