Deendayal’s ‘integral humanism’ behind Modi govt’s welfare measures: Nadda
New Delhi, June 2 — BJP President J.P. Nadda has said that the Modi government’s welfare initiatives are deeply inspired by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s philosophy of integral humanism. According to Nadda, this ideology continues to guide the government’s focus on the poor and the marginalized.
Speaking at a party event, Nadda stressed that integral humanism, introduced in 1965, offers an Indian model of governance. Unlike Western systems, it balances growth with tradition, and economic goals with human dignity.
“Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya believed in the upliftment of every person. Under PM Modi’s leadership, that belief has become action,” Nadda said.
Schemes That Reflect Antyodaya
Nadda highlighted schemes like PM Awas Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, Ujjwala Yojana, and Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. These programs, he said, directly reach people at the bottom of the economic ladder.
For instance, free ration under the Garib Kalyan scheme helps 80 crore people. Similarly, the Ayushman Bharat health insurance program offers financial security to millions.
“These are not just welfare schemes. They reflect our commitment to Antyodaya — the rise of the last person,” Nadda added.
A Human-Centric Development Model
Nadda explained that Western models often focus on GDP and material success. However, integral humanism centers around harmony — between people, society, and nature.
“We don’t just count numbers. We care about well-being, dignity, and cultural values,” he said.
Moreover, he argued that the Indian approach prioritizes human needs over market forces. This makes the development model more inclusive and meaningful.
‘Seva, Sushasan, Garib Kalyan’: The BJP’s Core Values
The BJP’s development mantra — Seva (service), Sushasan (good governance), and Garib Kalyan (welfare of the poor) — draws directly from Deendayal Upadhyaya’s thinking. Nadda credited PM Modi for converting this ideology into results on the ground.
These values, he noted, define the BJP’s unique governance style.
Criticism of the Opposition
Nadda also criticized the Opposition parties. He said they often follow foreign ideas and ignore India’s native philosophy. As a result, their policies fail to meet real needs.
“They rely on outdated vote-bank politics. We rely on Indian values,” he stated.
Looking Ahead: Viksit Bharat by 2047
As the BJP prepares for its next term, Nadda urged party workers to stay rooted in integral humanism. He emphasized the party’s mission to build a developed India by 2047.
With this ideology at its core, the Modi government aims to ensure dignity, equality, and opportunity for all.
