The 75th birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 17th September 2025 coincides with Vishwakarma Jayanti—the festival that honors craftsmen and artisans. This emblematic alignment underlines his role as the architect of India’s development and transformation. His life and leadership embody resilience, sagacity, and a firm commitment to advancing the nation’s progress as it strives to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047, the centenary year of India’s independence. From humble beginnings at Vadnagar, Gujarat to rising as a statesman of global stature, he represents a living example of determination, dedication and charismatic leadership.
A Life for Jan Seva
Narendra Modi’s ascent from the cradle to the helm of the world’s largest democracy is a case of clear determination, public service and dedication as a Jan Sevak. His journey has been an inspiration for millions of citizens across the country. As Gujarat’s Chief Minister, he prepared the groundwork for economic reforms, infrastructural development, and overall efficient governance. As Prime Minister, he has extended the efforts to include national priorities—bringing development strategies into sharper focus. Besides, he ensures that governance is accessible, accountable, citizen-centric, and responsive to the needs of the common people.
Safeguarding National Heritage
What sets PM Modi’s leadership apart is his ability to correctly appreciate India’s cultural heritage along with commitment to technological development. Initiatives such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan aimed at improving sanitation have not only addressed long-standing problems but also aroused a sense of civic responsibility. The declaration of International Yoga Day has fostered global awareness of holistic wellness, rooted in India’s ancient wisdom that connects health with overall well-being and prosperity.
Similarly, the launch of the International Solar Alliance reflects India’s commitment to renewable energy and sustainable development. These initiatives align with global goals, while staying rooted in India’s ethos and values.
On the technological front, programs like Digital India, Make in India and the Smart Cities Mission are revolutionizing infrastructure, enabling entrepreneurship and enhancing quick service delivery. These efforts are building a resilient economy where innovation and ease of doing business create opportunities for all sections of society.
Inclusive Growth
A hallmark of PM Modi’s vision is the belief that development must be inclusive and empowering. Schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, which has brought millions into the formal banking system and Ayushman Bharat offering health coverage to economically vulnerable families demonstrate a strong commitment to social welfare. Programs like Stand-Up India and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao are also creating opportunities for women entrepreneurs and promoting gender equality, ensuring that growth is shared across all sections of society.
These initiatives reflect a governance model that is not merely about economic progress but also about uplifting communities ensuring dignity and fostering equal participation in nation-building.
PM Modi’s Vishwakarma Scheme
Recognizing the invaluable contribution of artisans and traditional craftsmen to India’s cultural and economic fabric, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the PM Vishwakarma Scheme to empower and support this segment of society. The scheme is designed to provide skill training, financial assistance and access to modern tools and markets to artisans across the country—including potters, carpenters, blacksmiths, goldsmiths, weavers, and many others whose craftsmanship sustains local communities and heritage industries. The scheme reflects PM Modi’s vision of inclusive development, where tradition is maintained, dignity is upheld, and every skilled hand is supported in contributing to a self-reliant and prosperous India.
A Global Voice, Rooted in Local Values
Under PM Modi’s dynamic leadership, India has pushed forward its global stand through active diplomacy and strategic partnerships. Whether addressing climate change, promoting peace, or enhancing trade relations, India’s voice echoes with responsibility and foresight. His engagements have accentuated India’s commitment to global welfare while sticking to its own developmental priorities.
Resilience in the Face of Challenges
No journey of transformation is ever without challenges. From the unprecedented global pandemic to economic slowdowns, environmental crises and complex geopolitical tensions, PM Modi’s leadership has stood the test of time. Yet, with adaptive strategies, transparent communication, and adherence to constitutional principles, he has steered the nation through ups and downs. His decisive yet empathetic approach has not only eased the crises but also strengthened institutional resilience, bolstered public confidence, and reinforced a collective sense of purpose among citizens. The ability to convert challenges into opportunities underlines the hallmark of a visionary leader committed to India’s long-term progress.
Collective and Corrective Action
The nation has embarked on a journey to becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047. PM Modi’s birthday serves as a reminder of shared responsibility. His leadership inspires citizens to embrace changes without losing their grounds.
Inclusion and Conclusion
