Born Narendra Damodardas Modi on September 17, 1950, in the small town of Mehsana, Vadnagar, Gujarat to Heeraben and Damodardas Mulchand Modi, he has spent much of his life in public service. He has at many public events described his humble beginning as a young boy selling tea with his father at Vadnagar railway station in Gujarat.
However, a turn of events happened at the age of eight, when he joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s junior cadet. An organisation that continues to shape his politics as he turned 75 today.
In 2001, he became the chief minister of Gujarat and remained in the same position for nearly 15 years. After serving as the chief minister of Gujarat for three consecutive terms, in 2014, he climbed the political ladder, bidding adieu to his role as Gujarat CM and marking his entry in the national politics as the Prime Minister of India. In 2024, he began his third consecutive term as PM.
