Narendra Modi: Visionary Prime Minister of India
Narendra Modi, who has been India’s 14th Prime Minister since 2014, is a leader who has come a long way from selling tea in Gujarat to steering the nation through major economic reforms, digital advances, and great international relations. With the BJP, he made history in the elections of 2014, 2019, and 2024, with his ideal of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” that gives priority to the poor amidst the controversies like farm laws and COVID handling.
A dedicated RSS pracharak turned chief minister, Modi combines yoga promoting with road and building development, thus, changing India’s position in the world.
Humble Beginnings and Family Ties
India’s future Prime Minister on September 17, 1950, was born as Narendra Damodardas Modi in a small village known as Vadnagar in Gujarat, being the third child of six to a poor family who was operating a tea stall at the railway station. Damodardas Mulchand Modi, his dad, managed the chai and munchies stand at the railway station; his mother, Hiraben Modi, who passed away recently, diligently operated the chai and bites kiosk; she and her husband instilled in their children principles of diligence and modesty.
Modi was very close to his parents and at the age of 18, he had a marriage arranged with Jashodaben Chimanlal in 1968, but they soon separated as he was devoted to public service; she lives a simple life in Gujarat.
Schooling and Early Influences
Modi started his formal education with the local government school in Vadnagar, finished his secondary education there then he got an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Delhi University through distance learning. Simultaneously, he maintained his involvement in RSS which was crucial to his ideological development and later in 1983, he received his master’s degree in political science completed at Gujarat University
The qualification gave him the confidence and the organizational skills that were useful when he stayed in different places in India during his travels as a pracharak.
When Modi joined the RSS in 1971, he had already done underground organizing during the 1975 Emergency, entered BJP politics in 1985, and was soon appointed the chief minister of Gujarat in 2001 just when the earthquake relief was needed. His 13 years in Gale caused a lot of anxieties for him, one of which was the 2002 riots, but he still managed to attract investors through investor summits and that in turn got Gujarat’s economy uplifted.
Modi gained the Prime Minister post in 2014 with a majority godsend for the BJP, then he introduced good welfare programs like Make in India, GST, Swachh Bharat, and Ayushman Bharat; the revocation of Article 370 in 2019 made Jammu & Kashmir a the entire country. The third term in 2024 was dedicated to Viksit Bharat by 2047 despite the coalition dynamics.
Personal Habits and Lifestyle
Living at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi, Modi’s height is about 5’7”, having brown eyes, and the color of his hair is white which is groomed neatly; those features are consequences of his ascetic lifestyle.
A vegetarian yogi getting up at the crack of dawn to do breathing exercises and meditations, his hobbies consist in reading biographies, writing poetry in Gujarati, and taking pictures during travels; he considers the works of Swami Vivekananda and morning walks as his favorites. No girlfriends have been reported after marriage, thus indicating his monk-like devotion to nation-building.
Financial Growth and Worldwide Engagement
Modi’s powerful India’s GDP surged to more than $3 trillion along with the government’s huge foreign investments, and the rapid development of roads and enabling digital transactions via UPI which attracted foreign direct investments.
World wise, he was the driving force behind the establishment of strong ties with Quad countries, the hosting of G20 in 2023, and the advocacy of climate goals at COP26; the UN’s Champions of the Earth award is one of the recognitions that prove his impact. However, he was not the direct beneficiary of revenue from government but his policies that were able to facilitate national growth made the country rich.
