Narendra Modi, the 14th and current Prime Minister of India, has been serving since 2014. Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Modi’s journey began in humble circumstances, assisting his father at a tea stall. Rising through the ranks of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he served as Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, implementing economic reforms and pro-business policies that spurred industrial growth in the state.As Prime Minister, Modi has launched significant national programs such as “Make in India,” “Digital India,” and the “Swachh Bharat” (Clean India) mission, focusing on economic modernization, sanitation, and infrastructure development. His foreign policy approach emphasizes strengthening India’s global presence, while his leadership domestically is marked by bold initiatives like the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implementation, the 2016 demonetization drive, and efforts to foster a self-reliant India (“Atmanirbhar Bharat”). Known for his oratory skills and social media presence, Modi remains a polarizing figure, celebrated for his reformist agenda yet critiqued for handling of religious and social issues.
