Born on September 17, 1950, Modi’s connection to public service began early in life. By the age of 8, he joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), where he found his calling. His first media mention came in 1978, when he appeared on the TV show Yuvadarshan as a youth leader, discussing the socio-political landscape during the Emergency period. This marked the beginning of his public life.

Modi’s association with the BJP began in 1985 when the RSS assigned him to the party. His leadership qualities soon made him a prominent figure, and in 2001, he became the Chief Minister of Gujarat. His tenure in Gujarat was marked by both economic progress and controversy, particularly following the 2002 riots.

In 2014, Modi made his mark on a national stage when he became the Prime Minister of India. His leadership style, characterized by bold reforms like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India,’ reshaped India’s political and economic landscape. Reelected in 2019, Modi’s influence continued to grow, with international recognition cementing his status as a key global leader.

On his 75th birthday, the BJP launched a nationwide welfare campaign called ‘Sewa Pakhwada,’ emphasizing Modi’s commitment to public service. His birthday celebrations also included initiatives aimed at empowering women, children, and tribals in various states across India.

With support from leaders worldwide, including U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Modi’s 75th birthday was not just a celebration of his personal achievements but also a reflection of his enduring legacy in India’s political and global influence.

The PM Modi to lay foundation of PM MITRA Park initiative marks a major step for India’s textile industry. According to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, the project has already drawn investment proposals worth ₹23,000 crore from 114 textile companies. Moreover, the park could generate nearly three lakh jobs, bringing opportunities to lakhs of families across the state.

Spread over 2,158 acres, the PM MITRA Park follows the 5F vision — Farm-to-Fibre-to-Factory-to-Fashion-to-Foreign. Authorities have allotted about 1,300 acres, and they plan to release the remaining land in phases. Therefore, the project promises both industrial growth and long-term employment.

Meanwhile, PM Modi will launch Sewa Pakhwada, a two-week campaign from September 17 to October 2. The program will include state-wide health check-up camps, voluntary blood donation drives, and nutrition counseling. In addition, doctors will screen people for diabetes, hypertension, anaemia, and tuberculosis. Adolescent girls will also receive training sessions on menstrual hygiene and healthy diets.

CM Yadav highlighted that women’s health and empowerment form the backbone of social progress. He added that Madhya Pradesh must play a central role in achieving the Developed India 2047 mission. Consequently, this visit by the Prime Minister reflects both economic ambition and a commitment to social welfare.
