PM Modi And His Past Birthday Celebrations
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthdays over the past decade have reflected a mix of simplicity, personal traditions, and landmark national events. From seeking blessings from his mother to launching historic projects, his special day has often been used to connect with people and highlight significant initiatives.
Each year between 2014 and 2024 has marked a different milestone from record vaccination drives and the return of cheetahs to India, to the launch of major welfare schemes and development projects making his birthdays moments of both personal reflection and public significance.
This year – 2025– marks PM Modi’s 75th birthday, marking a grand celebration across India. This year, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has prepared large-scale programmes across the country. The celebrations will feature public service campaigns, cultural programmes, and the launch of key development projects.
Assam BJP chief Dilip Saikia told PTI that several activities have been lined up, including blood donation camps, the Namo Marathon, exhibitions, seminars, and even the screening of a film on PM Modi’s life. He added that the Prime Minister is regarded as the Pradhan Sevak of the country, and the party wants the occasion to be observed with full enthusiasm so that it resonates with people across India.
The BJP and its supporters traditionally observe the Prime Minister’s birthday as Sewa Diwas (Day of Service). This year, the party has extended it into a two-week-long Sewa Pakhwada, running from September 17 to October 2, coinciding with the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri.
The campaign will include blood donation drives, free health check-ups, cleanliness initiatives, environmental protection activities, and assistance for persons with disabilities. A nationwide painting competition on the theme of Viksit Bharat will also be organised, focusing on topics like Atmanirbhar Bharat and Digital India. Blood donation camps will be launched in 1,000 districts on September 17 and will continue at the Mandal level until October 2, alongside cleanliness drives in schools, hospitals, temples, parks, riversides, and public spaces.
The BJP’s youth wing, Yuva Morcha, will organise the Namo Yuva Run in 75 cities, each expected to draw at least 10,000 participants. Ahead of the campaign, workshops were conducted at district and Mandal levels to prepare volunteers and leaders for smooth execution.
Special programmes have also been planned, including a drone show in Pune, a sapling plantation drive in Odisha where 75 lakh trees will be planted, and the Modi Vikas Marathon, along with sports meets and drawing contests. BJP national general secretary Sunil Bansal, who has been appointed as the convener of the campaign, has already coordinated workshops with senior party leaders. Union Minister Bhupender Yadav confirmed that the Atmanirbhar Bharat, Viksit Bharat campaign will begin on September 25, marking Deendayal Upadhyaya Jayanti, and continue until December 25.
In Delhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate 15 new projects at Thyagraj Stadium on September 17, including new hospital facilities, 101 Arogya Mandirs, and 150 dialysis centres. Reports also suggest that the Delhi government will launch several infrastructure projects under the Sewa Pakhwada, such as new car parks in Greater Kailash and Punjabi Bagh, the Nand Nagari flyover, and the long-awaited Rajputana Rifles foot overbridge.
Born as Narendra Damodardas Modi in Gujarat’s Mehsana district, the Prime Minister served as Chief Minister of the state for three consecutive terms (2001–2014) before being elected Prime Minister. Now in his third term as PM, he has consistently spent his birthdays in service to the public, launching new schemes or initiatives instead of personal celebrations.
