Modi's Strategy Aims for Naxal-Free India by 2026
The government, under PM Modi, is trying to stop Naxal violence in India.
They are using two main approaches: fighting the armed groups with the police and army and also improving the lives of people in the affected areas by building roads, schools, and offering job training.
This has led to a big drop in Naxal violence.
They want to completely get rid of Naxalism by 2026 by focusing on both security and helping communities.
Over 14,000 Naxalites have been arrested or surrendered since 2014.
PM Modi's government significantly reduced Naxal-affected districts from 126 in 2013 to 18 by 2024.
The government's dual strategy involved security operations and addressing socio-economic issues.
Over 14,000 Naxalites were killed, arrested, or surrendered since 2014.
The Modi government focused on infrastructure development, like roads and electrification, in affected areas.
The goal is to eliminate Naxalism by March 31, 2026, combining security, development, and trust-building measures.
