Doubling farmers income, implementation of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana, which would change the life of farmers were the other achievements, he added.
Das also stated that no minister of the Narendra Modi government faced any corruption charge during the three years.


The central government should also be given credit for having made development an issue, the chief minister said. Even the prime ministers mantra is together with all, development for all, Das said.

Similarly, for the poor there is Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, according to which, by 2022 nobody should remain homeless in the country and both the Centre and the state governments are working in that area, he said.


Another important achievement in the three years of rule is passing of GST that would strengthen the economy in the coming times and increase revenue of the country and states, Das said.


The country was also moving towards digital India and cashless India and moving towards a digital society, he said.


The foundations of Make in India, Skill India, Startup India and such programmes laid during the three years would open employment opportunities for the youth, he said.


The prime minister, Das said, has enabled crores of people, who did not have bank accounts, open pass books under the ?Jan Dhan Yojana'.
The prime minister also set up SIT against black money, Das said.


Budget allocations have been made for the tribals, the deprived, the poor and the minorities, Das said.


"Even now much work has to be done and the central government is working towards that endeavour", Das said.
