Narendra Modi is undoubtedly a remarkable Prime Minister. Under his esteemed leadership, India has not only made strides in economic, social, and cultural domains but has also elevated national defense and security. The Union Budget 2024–25 allocated ₹6.22 lakh crore to the Defense Ministry, showing Modi’s prioritization of the nation’s security. This allocation, nearly a 5% increase from the previous year, underscores the government’s commitment to continuous improvement in the defense sector.
