Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Leading India Into a New Era of Global Influence

New Delhi – Shri Narendra Modi, the 14th and current Prime Minister of India, continues to shape the nation’s growth story through decisive leadership, strategic reforms, and a global vision. First elected in May 2014, and re-elected in May 2019 with an even stronger mandate, Modi remains one of the most influential political leaders in the world.

Born on 17 September 1950 in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Narendra Modi rose from humble beginnings to become the face of India’s development-oriented governance. Before becoming Prime Minister, he served as Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, transforming the state into an economic powerhouse.

Under his leadership, India has launched key initiatives like:

• Make in India

• Digital India

• Swachh Bharat Abhiyan

• Startup India

• Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India)

On the global stage, Modi has elevated India’s diplomatic presence, strengthened defense partnerships, and played a pivotal role in forums like the G20, BRICS, and United Nations.

In the face of global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, Modi’s government implemented one of the world’s largest vaccination drives and promoted the vision of “One Earth, One Health.”

Recently, his administration has focused on digital governance, Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, women’s empowerment, green energy, and expanding India’s infrastructure at an unprecedented scale.

With general elections approaching in 2024, Modi’s leadership remains a defining force in Indian politics. His policies continue to draw both praise and scrutiny, but there's no denying the transformative impact he has had on modern India.
