PM Modi @ 75: Leading India’s Journey from Tradition to Transformation
Patna, 17th September 2025 : As Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns 75 on 17th September, the nation celebrates not only a statesman but a visionary leader who has seamlessly blended India’s cultural heritage with futuristic aspirations.
In a widely acclaimed article published by DD News, Dr. Birbal Jha, noted author, educator, social thinker and public speaker, marked the occasion with a thoughtful tribute titled “PM Modi @ 75: Leading India’s Journey from Tradition to Transformation.” The piece highlights PM Modi’s unparalleled contributions to national progress, cultural preservation, technological advancement, and inclusive development.
The milestone birthday coincides with Vishwakarma Jayanti, a festival honoring artisans and craftsmen—aptly reflecting PM Modi’s focus on empowering skilled communities while steering the country toward economic and social transformation.
A Life Dedicated to Public Service
Dr. Birbal Jha, noted author, educator, and public speaker, praised PM Modi’s journey from modest beginnings in Vadnagar, Gujarat, to becoming a globally respected leader.
“His life is a testament to resilience, determination, and selfless service. From Vadnagar to the global stage, PM Modi has not only shaped India’s economic and technological growth but has also ensured that development remains inclusive, empowering even the most marginalized sections of society.”
Dr. Birbal Jha , known as a mass communicator, emphasized that PM Modi’s governance model is rooted in accessibility, accountability, and citizen-centric reforms that prioritize grassroots development.
Empowering Every Citizen
Under the leadership of PM Modi, several welfare initiatives have expanded financial inclusion and healthcare access.
“His commitment to accessible and accountable governance has brought millions into the financial and healthcare mainstream. This is governance rooted in empathy and efficiency,” Dr. Jha remarked.
The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and Ayushman Bharat schemes, Dr Jha said, have “transformed social welfare by providing banking and healthcare access to the economically vulnerable.”
Balancing Heritage with Innovation
Dr Birbal Jha, the Youngest Living Legend of Mithila, highlighted how PM Modi’s policies have fostered both cultural pride and innovation.
“Whether it’s the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan improving sanitation or International Yoga Day spreading wellness, these initiatives reflect a deep connection to India’s cultural roots. At the same time, programs like Digital India and Make in India are creating opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation. He understands that a strong economy is built by empowering individuals with tools, technology, and vision.”
This balance, according to him, has helped India preserve its identity while becoming a hub for technological and infrastructural advancement.
Recognizing the Artisans: The PM Vishwakarma Scheme
Coinciding with Vishwakarma Jayanti, the PM Vishwakarma Scheme stands out as a compassionate and inclusive development effort.
“It is one of the most compassionate steps toward safeguarding the dignity of artisans,” said Dr. Jha, popular English literary figure from Bihar. “The scheme provides skill training, financial support, and access to markets for traditional craftsmen—from potters and weavers to carpenters and goldsmiths—ensuring that India’s heritage thrives alongside economic progress.”
A Voice for India on the World Stage
Dr. Jha also acknowledged the global impact of PM Modi’s leadership.
“Through climate initiatives and diplomatic engagements, he has ensured that India’s voice is heard on pressing global issues while staying firmly committed to its national development goals.”
This approach, Dr Jha noted, has positioned India as a responsible and forward-looking partner in global affairs.
Resilience in Times of Adversity
The journey has not been without challenges, but Dr. Birbal Jha lauded PM Modi’s response to crises.
“His ability to turn crises into opportunities has fostered public trust and institutional resilience. With adaptive strategies and transparent communication, he has steered the nation through health emergencies, economic slowdowns, and geopolitical uncertainties.”
A Call for Collective Responsibility
Looking ahead to India’s centenary of Independence in 2047, Dr. Jha issued a rallying call.
“His 75th birthday is not a celebration of a leader alone—it’s a call to action for every citizen to contribute to the nation’s growth. We must embrace change, safeguard our traditions, and work together toward a prosperous future.”
