Ancient Indian rishi's believed that there are 4 levers from which a nation derives its strength from - Knowledge, Trade, Weapons and Land. Any nation that seeks 'world domination' attempts to maximise 2 or more of these 'power levers'

Examples

• America - Knowledge + Trade + Weapons
• USSR - Land + Weapons
• Germany during Hitler era - Land + Weapons
• Japan - Knowledge + Trade
• China - Land + Trade 
• India ( pre Mughal invasion) - Knowledge + Trade

As @narendramodi completes his first year, i will judge him on these 4 power levers.

Lets first evaluate how India did on these power levers under Congress rule of 60 odd years and then contrast this with the policy decisions of the @narendramodi government

1. Knowledge - The goal of the eduction policy of Congress government was to create an army of clerks or government bureaucrats. Hence the only skill needed was 'rote learning'. Within the first year, the @narendramodi government has shifted focus to 'skill development'. This focus on skill development will not only make the young employable but also entrepreneurial. 
2. Trade - Congress believed in centralisation of all funds and trade decisions in a single body called as the Finance Commission. Every village which needed funds or approvals was at the mercy of the central government This created a 'mai baaap' culture where a nation was dependent on a 'benevolent' family. Global trade was restricted with nations which the Nehru-Gandhi family liked such as USSR. Two big policy changes - Funds and Trade decisions are de-centralized with states controlling 68% of all finances. There is a accelerated focus on integrating India with trade globally. Every foreign trip of @narendramodi has a singular focus .. grow trade.
3. Weapons - Congress governments begged, borrowed or bought weapons. In the 1962 war with China, Nehru went begging across the world for help. Last year the focus has shifted to build with the Make in India initiative.
4. Land - Despite large tracks of fertile land and a weather that supports cultivation throughput the year, India has been dependent on food imports. Land was locked in agriculture. Acquiring land for job creation, building roads/hospitals/schools was very difficult.  Moreover during the Congress regime we ended loosing land to Pakistan, China and even Sri Lanka. The land acquisition bill of the UPA takes back India back to the 1960s where the Tatas struggled to build a single steel factory in Jamshedpur, The new land bill provides for a fair use of land resources across all sectors while providing a healthy compensation to farmers. In addition innovations in agriculture such as soil health cards, 24x7 electricity will yield more crop per drop for the farmers.

Table below summarises the changes 

Swami Vivekananda's vision for India was to be a 'Jagad Guru', with the changes across the 4 power levers, the first year of the @naremdramodi government has put India on a trajectory to realise his vision.
