NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 75 on September 17. Born in 1950 at Mehsana town of Gujarat he is now PM for the third term after first being elected in 2014. On his birthday, PM Modi has spent time interacting with citizens, launching welfare schemes, or taking part in public initiatives. The BJP, like every year, has launched the ‘Sewa Pakhwara’ to mark the PM’s birthday to showcase his commitment to the welfare of citizens. He is also known for his drive for innovation and ushering in effective and proper governance.
On September 17, PM Modi is in Madhya Pradesh, where he will launch the ‘Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar’ and ‘8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah’ campaigns. This is the largest ever health outreach for women and children in the country. He is admired for a variety of reasons, and one of them is his immense respect for India’s culture and heritage. PM Modi’s integral dream for a Viksit Bharat in 2047 is driven by championing innovation as the cornerstone of India’s journey. Under his leadership, the country is witnessing an evolution from a technology consumer to a global leader, especially when it comes to innovation. This vision is enabling the Indian researchers, institutions, and startups to contribute to future technologies.
PM Modi has given plenty of emphasis on governance. To make it more efficient, his Government has relied heavily on technology. Digitally empowered systems and policy-making driven by data are what drive governance today. It has become more effective and has managed to cut inefficiency, red tape, and delays. Before PM Modi came to power, there were complaints about state delivery services being caught in a web of delays and red tape. The PM has instructed officials to remove all bottlenecks and replace outdated governance with a citizen-centric solution. He has often emphasised the need to use technology to the maximum to provide better governance. The use of technology has been acknowledged by tech giants across the world. Tesla boss, Elon Musk, had once said, “I am a fan of PM Modi.”
