Not only taking big decisions but also
taking them to the culmination has become
synonymous with the personality of Prime

Operation Sindoor. In every scheme introduced
by Prime Minister Modi, public participation plays
a central role—and it is this very participation that
has been the key to his remarkable success. The

Indeed, for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, lead-
ership is not just about taking bold decisions, but
also about ensuring their successful fruition—a trait
that has become synonymous with his personality.
Born in a poor family on 17 September 1950 in in-
dependent India, Narendra Modi rose from being a
tea seller to becoming the country’s Pradhan Sewak,
and his resolve to serve has become the mantra
of ‘New India’. Everyone knows the humble family
background of Prime Minister Narendra Modi—
how he once struggled to even get two meals a day.
PM Modi spent his childhood in a house of about
40×12 feet in Vadnagar. His father used to sell tea at
the local railway station. In the early years, PM Modi
also used to assist his father at this tea shop. The
struggles of the early years left a strong impression
on PM Modi’s mind. In the later stages of his life,
Swami Vivekananda’s thoughts started steering him
towards spirituality. National policy is also para-
mount in Prime Minister Modi’s politics. Actually, he
has grown up in an environment where values are
such that if there is a need to accept either politics
or national policy, then it is taught to put national
policy first and politics second.

the Chief Minister of Gujarat in October 2001, he
started working towards creating a different model
of development, for which he especially focused
on school education. There were some moments
when the opponents opened a vitriolic front against
him. But PM Modi did not weaken from these sharp
attacks; rather, he continued to work with strength.
With this progressive approach, Prime Minister
Modi, in his 25 years of service, has consistently pri-
oritized the welfare of the poor, the strengthening
of the middle class, the empowerment of women,
and women-led development. Alongside this, he
has addressed farmers’ concerns at every stage
through farmer-friendly policies, expanded educa-
