New Delhi, 17 September (H.S.): Modi was born in a poor family. He became the Prime Minister of the world's largest democracy and 15 different

countries have awarded him with the highest honour of their

country, which has increased the pride of not only of our Prime Minister but of

entire India.

After running a government dedicated to development,

security and welfare of the poor for ten years, the people of the

country have given us the mandate to form the government for the third time in

the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

For the first time after 60 years, a leader is

leading the country by becoming the Prime Minister for the third consecutive

time. For the first time in 60 years, there is an atmosphere of political

stability in the country and the country has sustained itself on its policies, said Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, addressing the

media persons as he greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday on Tuesady.

Highlighting the important initiatives, decisions and achievements of the first 100 days of

the third term of Modi, Shah said that in the last ten years of the Government, Modi has provided houses, toilets, gas connections, drinking water,

electricity, per month 5 kg grains and health facilities worth upto ₹5 lakh

to 60 crore poor people of the country.

We have set a target that in the next five years there will be no person in the country who does not have his own house. Projects

worth about ₹15 lakh crore have been started in the first 100 days of Modi 3.0.

Shah said that 100 days have been

divided into 14 pillars. Under infrastructure, projects worth ₹3 lakh crore

have been started in 100 days. A mega port will be built in Vadhavan,

Maharashtra at a cost of ₹76,000 crore, which will be included in the

top 10 ports of the world from day one.

A scheme, of connecting 25,000 unconnected villages by road, worth ₹49, 000 crore was started. It has

been decided to expand India's major routes at a cost of ₹50,600 crore. Work

is being done to promote tourism by upgrading Lal Bahadur Shastri International

Airport in Varanasi, Bagdogra in West Bengal, Bihta in Bihar and building new

air strips in Agatti and Minicoy. Bengaluru Metro Phase-3, Pune Metro, Thane

Integral Ring Metro and many other metro rail projects have also progressed in

these 100 days, he explained.

Amit Shah said that ₹20,000 crore

has been distributed to 9.5 crore farmers under the 17th installment of

the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. So far, ₹3 lakh

crore has been distributed to a total of 12 crore 33 lakh farmers. The Minimum

Support Price (MSP) of Kharif crops has also been increased and the Narendra

Modi government has purchased several times more crops at MSP than the previous

government, which shows that the Modi government is dedicated to the interests

of farmers.

On this occasion, Shah released

'Paving the Path to Viksit Bharat', a special booklet, and eight flyers

depicting the important achievements of the last 100 days under the leadership Modi. Union Minister of Information &
