PM Modi Turns 74: Key Birthday Moments and Celebrations from Recent Years

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi marks his 74th birthday on September 17, 2024, he will be in Odisha to inaugurate significant welfare schemes aimed at uplifting the underprivileged. The highlight of the celebrations will be the launch of the ‘Subhadra Yojana,’ a new financial assistance scheme designed to support over 1 crore poor women across India. Each eligible woman will receive ₹10,000 annually under this initiative, marking a major step towards enhancing women’s economic empowerment.

In addition to the ‘Subhadra Yojana,’ Modi will inaugurate 26 lakh PM Awas houses at Gadakana in Bhubaneswar, providing much-needed housing solutions to numerous families. This initiative is expected to transform the living conditions of many, ensuring that more families have access to safe and secure homes.

Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Narendra Modi has had a remarkable journey from being the Chief Minister of Gujarat for over 12 years to becoming India’s Prime Minister in 2014. As he celebrates his 74th birthday, it’s a moment to reflect on his past achievements and how he has marked his birthdays over the years:

2023: Last year, Modi celebrated his 73rd birthday by announcing the ‘PM Vishwakarma Yojana,’ a scheme aimed at benefiting peasants, craftsmen, and artisans across the country. In addition to this, he inaugurated two major projects: the India International Convention and Expo Centre (IICC) and the extension of the Delhi Airport Express line. To commemorate the occasion, his supporters in Varanasi, his Lok Sabha constituency, celebrated with a 73-kg laddoo cake, a unique tribute symbolizing his age.

2022: On his 72nd birthday, Modi focused on wildlife conservation by releasing cheetahs flown in from Namibia into the Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh. This effort was part of the Cheetah Reintroduction Project aimed at reviving the cheetah population in India.

As Modi embarks on his 74th year, his commitment to public service and welfare continues to shine through these impactful initiatives, reinforcing his dedication to improving the lives of ordinary citizens and ensuring sustainable development for all.
