Transcript
Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed a great pleasure and privilege to introduce you to the next step of the Modinomics journey, the Modinomics journey of inclusive growth authored by Mr. Sameer Kochhar, SKOCH Group.
Modinomics: A Journey of Inclusive Growth is more than a book, it is a comprehensive account of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji's 25 years in public office and an in-depth verdict on his promise of inclusive growth to this great nation. From his early days in Gujarat to over a decade of national leadership, Modi Ji has consistently placed the idea of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas at the heart of governance.
This book explores how the philosophy translated into policies and programs that reshaped India's economic and social landscape through financial inclusion, direct benefit transfers, housing, rural electrification, sanitation, health care, digital empowerment and infrastructure expansion. Millions who had long remained on the margins were brought into the fold of development.
By connecting households with banking through the Jan Dhan Yojana, ensuring clean cooking fuel through Ujjwala, building toilets under Swachh Bharat, electrifying villages and expanding digital access, Modi Ji's governance reached the last mile with both scale and speed.
Equally, the book assesses the reforms that powered India's macroeconomic resilience—GST, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, digital payments architecture and welfare delivery systems that made growth more transparent, efficient and accountable.
At the same time, the book does not shy away from asking the central question: has the growth been truly inclusive? And to what extent have India's poor experienced transformation in their everyday lives?
Balancing narrative with evidence, Modinomics places India's journey in a global context, highlighting how a country once defined by poverty and scarcity has increasingly become associated with opportunity, aspiration and scale.
Marking a quarter of a century of Mr. Modi in governance, this book is both a chronicle and a verdict—measuring the distance traveled, the promises kept and the challenges that remain.
It is an essential read for policymakers, scholars, business leaders and citizens who wish to understand not just the economics of Modi Ji, but also the larger story of India's quest for inclusive and sustainable growth.
