Union Government’s Performance Appraisal, Two Years of Modi Government

Prime Minister Narendra Modi  continues to hold his sway across demographics, political divides and states. While NDA Government’s initiatives are generally appreciated, concern for increasing prices and unemployment at grass roots continues. This research report will present some highlights of CMS assessment study on the eve of Modi Government completing two years. This CMS assessment report is based on a specially devised composite methodology involving an analysis of initiatives taken, extent of citizen interface and involvement, and public record and perceptions on ground realities and implementation. This assessment was conducted during month of March 2016, including the field work at 70 clusters (urban and rural) across country. The composite methodology is based on insights of decades of experience at CMS as pioneer in survey research and evaluation. The significant finding is that Modi is viewed differently for his different distinguishing roles and performance. Some schemes like Make in India, Swatch Bharat, and Jan Dhan have come out very well. Poor performing schemes are like SMART City, Food security etc. Silence of the Prime Minister on critical conflicting domestic issues and his not going around within as much around country and Government in general not being sensitive to grass root realties are some of significant findings.
