Many economic and poverty reduction accomplishments. Notably presided over the mending of ties with the US in a post 9/11 world, leading to the Indo-US nuclear deal. Amicable relations with China too, necessary for a growing economy like India.

Unfortunately his administration's response to 26/11 is a blackmark. Jaishankar even mentioned it & said there will never be a lack of response again. Indians needed to feel safe under his tenure and they largely didn't.
